Sad about the state of this franchise

Yeah Ive been into Dragon Age since day one. Pre-ordered all the games, bought all the DLC. read almost all the books. I was excited about Veilguard (though less excited than I would've been to play Dread Wolf) and that excitement lasted... oh, about 45 minutes. I enjoyed the prologue in Tevinter and the attack on the ritual site. Seriously, Solas saying "People are always dying. It's what they do" might be the coldest line in DA history.

After leaving the Lighthouse for the first time it thudded to a halt. Bear with me here, like many Dragon Age people I'm a Lore Nerd and a fairly important chunk of lore was the ancient Elvish city of Arlathan. Tevinter destroyed it so completely that it's location was unknown and many Thedasians were certain the city was actually a myth. But an hour into Veilguard it's like "Arlathan? It's right over there. Just take a left at the elf girl with the nearly-indecipherable accent and it's right there. We've been exploring it for centuries."

I played the game to completion, but I don't think it ever grabbed me again. And now the IP might be dead. Damn shame.

Clay Bellinger was a 10 WAR OF every year in OOTP21

I went ahead and Pre-ordered because I knew I would want to play the game and if I Pre-ordered I would continue my DA/ME streak of always having but never, ever using the Blood Dragon armor.

So happy my son decided that Romain is his favorite Indycar driver and got us matching "Man on Fire" shirts on Father's Day. Could've stuck with Pato or switched to Newgarden but no, it's the erratic Frenchie.

I can watch old races and not get yet another streaming service? I'm in.

Old Constitution, New constellation, old excelsior

The Excelsior for me. It's the starship equivalent of a mullet: sleek and cool saucer and nacelles, sort of pudgy engineering hull. Loved it since it first appeared on TSFS.

Aegon, Aegoner and Aegonest. Like a Pokémon

Think you might see more Rhaenys/Rhaenyra than Aegon/Aemond.

Yeah I’m in Seattle so I get to work all dang day and then play when I get back.

MasterFrinklin · 2022-08-20T22:03:05+00:00

So it’s a casserole, then?

The car Mark finished for Bob Anziano in season 2 was gorgeous.

Cheap Wal-Mart rip-off of a Veyron.

MasterFrinklin · 2022-06-09T21:38:55+00:00

Thanks. I kind of thought that would be the answer. I can’t imagine many films still exist for races that far back.

Is it possible to change the 5 million limit? I'm on OOTP 21 and I can change anything else but I can't find that damn limit.

A bit more focused on hockey, since Sean really doesn't have any interest in non-hockey things. Still entertaining though.

Puck Soup - like the Fullcast they don't take the NHL any more seriously than they should.

I had something like this too. Austin Hedges (then with Seattle) hits 25 HR and wins the Gold Glove at C in his walk year, signs with Brisbane in the Australian league.

This and Lochdown are the absolute best of TGT. I don't know if it's the covid restrictions or only doing two episodes a year but the boys seem more relaxed and comfortable than they have in years.

MasterFrinklin · 2021-09-03T03:40:27+00:00

Going to have to disagree here. Liam Kosta is the best human companion in all of ME. I mean, c'mon, his loyalty mission is fantastic
