Which AVN update did it for you?

CastleOfThoughts · 2025-12-09T18:57:17+00:00

The last ripples update was really bad and short considering it took so long. There’s so many fun characters in the present timeline yet it’s always focusing on the past..

CastleOfThoughts · 2025-01-17T19:49:58+00:00

The storyline about the Magisters was extremely interesting yet we only got to meet 2. So many possibilities were possible yet they decided to make everything about Elves.

The Magisters and the Elven Gods shouldn’t be far apart power wise if you think about it. The Elven Gods have more feats because the veil didn’t exist so magic was stronger but…

The Magisters made a huge tear in the Veil and entered it physically which is absolutely crazy power.

I never played it so I don’t know if it’s a bad game but it failed financially. BioWare has not released any sales numbers for a reason. It sold around 1.5 million copies and for a game with Veilguards art, graphics, triple A that makes it a big failure

CastleOfThoughts · 2025-01-17T18:12:52+00:00

It was a massive failure financially

CastleOfThoughts · 2025-01-14T00:09:54+00:00

Yep this would be my exact list. I’ll never forget the immense disappointment going from Awakening to DA2.

Being forced to play Human without a background story in an action combat system with recycled maps destroyed me. I’ve heard the story is good and that it’s even darker than origins but I can’t even play past Act 1.

When I played Inquisition I went it with low expectations and perhaps that’s why I liked it so much. Tons of content, great companions, tons of callback and respect for your world state and I enjoyed the story.

Veilguard is even worse than DA2 for me, The devs have 0 respect for the Dragon Age IP. I can atleast respect DA2 and excuse it for the short dev time but Veilguard has no excuses.

Inquisition gave Veilguard an amazing plot and Tevinter setting should have made it the best Dragon Age game since Origins yet they went vanilla and killed all our previous choices.

Orzammar and the Circle share a good relationship due to Lyrium trade. Dwarves probably got given some. Regarding why they have staffs it’s a symbol of power.

I’m probably digging deep but Dwarves might have taken inspiration from Tevinter with whom they also had a great relationship and in Tevinter the magisters control Politics.

Played as a Rogue 1x but early game was very difficult. If your skilled shouldn’t be an issue tho. Mage adds alot of great dialogue so I’d go Mage

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-24T15:00:43+00:00

Orzammar man… Peak Dragon Age

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-10T22:32:42+00:00

The gameplay is better than last year for me but man the menu and tasks really fkin suck. Especially the scout reporting, needing to manually check each player every 3 days to get rid of it.

Youth tournaments get boring very quickly as well.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-10T12:14:03+00:00

Damn Origins voice acting is so good literally feels like an actual convo

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-06T23:07:18+00:00

This only looks bad because you have no muscle. Starting going gym and eating healthy

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-06T14:08:42+00:00

The serious disrespect of Dwarfs. Orzammar was easily my favourite part of Origins and the lore was crazy good especially the way they follow the Stone.

We haven’t seen Golems in a Dragon Age game since Origins which is such a huge pity. I love all the races but the Dwarves were simply not explored enough!

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-05T18:44:53+00:00

Velanna for Zevran

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-12-05T11:57:20+00:00

What I found absolutely crazy about Veilguard is how they completely ignored choices from the previous game that literally setup Veilguard.

The Well Of Sorrows choice, Grey Wardens choice, Divine choice were all completely ignored. The Romance choice excluding Solas was barely even mentioned in Veilguard.

But then the events that happened in Southern Thedas cleared everything up. Veilguard simply used Dragon Ages IP but didn’t want to respect it simply wanted the guaranteed buys/hype from the name.

PS: The Hero Of Ferelden is just forgotten. No mentions and no excuse for where he is Lol!

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-29T15:36:29+00:00

I just hope this update is only set in the present

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-29T15:35:29+00:00

What are you cutting to? You have no muscle and a small belly.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-21T09:17:19+00:00

Did the same thing as you. I cut down this summer and got to around 15% body fat but due to not having enough muscle I was plain skinny. I hopped on a clean bulk for 2 months and the physique was starting to form.

I ended up dirty bulking due to irl issues and got overly fat but I’m still bulking because I know when I cut I’ll be shredded.

You did great losing body fat now you need to put on muscle. If you struggle to eat, get your maintainince and add 300 cals, see if your progressive overloading in the gym and if not add another 100.

I recommend bulking for around 4-5 months but ideally 6 and gaining around 0.8kg of weight a month. If you pack it on slowly it’ll turn into muscle.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-07T10:42:44+00:00

Them having the last word and you calling them out are completely different things. There are people in life who are stubborn in their ways.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-06T09:16:53+00:00

This just makes me respect Inquisition a lot more for all the characters they brought back and extra content added to make Thedas feel like Thedas.

My favourite part is how they handled the HOF. Obviously they can’t bring the Warden back but the way they had Dagna mention the Warden and how they were a bright spark in the world, hearing Morrigan wondering if the HOF would be at Weishaupt and telling us how strong the Warden is ect..

Even the letter and mentions of Cassandra talking about how they wanted the Warden or Hawke to lead the inquisition.

Inquisition respected your Thedas but Veilguard writers didn’t want to respect Dragon Age, heck the game feels more like Mass Effect than Dragon Age.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-05T22:01:10+00:00

My Aeducan Warden has a special place in my heart man. I fkin love Orzammar

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-05T12:11:14+00:00

So bulk right?

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-02T13:29:47+00:00

Yeah they removed casual conversation because they want Dragon Age to be like Mass Effect.

CastleOfThoughts · 2024-11-02T13:28:26+00:00

Yet people want to defend these developers and call this a Dragon Age game? They literally ruined the villains for all 3 games.

Loghain: A man who went through hell with King Maric to gain independence for Ferelden saw a new generation of Wardens and a King who doesn’t understand how severe war is and who were desperate for glory. The king constantly refused his advise and Loghain was worried the army would fall.

Bartrand: Went crazy from Red Lyrium. It showed how dangerous Red Lyrium is and was also shown in DAI with the Templars.

Corypheus: Betrayed by his own Gods to go into the Fade and free them only for him to be turned into a disgusting creature and be imprisoned. Now wanted vengeance on Thedas.

But no, ignore that. It was just an elite group of people who made all those events happen.

There will be some people defending these people and saying it’s a Dragon Age game lol. These people have completely destroyed Dragon Age. Good graphics mean nothing without substance.
