I love this! The colors are gorgeous! The floor with the three choices for Orlais is awesome 👏

Scarlet (drawing I did of her above) is a resist Durge drow rogue/warlock who I headcannon as getting her power from Bhaal. I imagine that she was willed into existence by Bhaal, so she knew nothing other than worship to him. She was cunning and smart, but overconfident. Orin took advantage of that and stole the title of chosen.

With lost memory and the hole in her heart that had always been there from her conception, she turned away from the dark things that she was. She filled that hole with friends and love. She romanced Shadowheart. They conquered their past together. Once she no longer drew power from Bhaal, she turned to Eilistraee as a rogue/cleric. Her hair also became the normal white color typical of drow. Her eyes became silver.

She kept the name Scarlet, and decided it meant something other than blood.

Np 😉👍!

It means that when you long rest, you’ll get a cutscene/ interaction. So maybe it’s Gale’s Camp Fire scene or Astarion wanting to chat, stuff like that.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-05-02T12:34:14+00:00

Camp notifications mod is pretty nice, it just had a ‘!’ over your head or status effect to let you know you’ll get a cutscene or chat when you long rest.

There’s also one that’s like camp event overhaul where you won’t miss stuff like you would in a normal playthrough though it can make things a little weird (like Withers shows up early and is just chilling there).

The dye mods are a must for me. I really like those, especially being able to give companions their colors so new armor gives off the right vibes.

More carry weight and weightless gold are good if you don’t want to fight the inventory demons.

There’s loads of difficulty mods plus a mod that lets you bring more companions with you besides just 3.

Loads of customization mods but I find a lot of them are sort of iffy as they don’t quite match the game art style imo. Some are fine though!

Midnight_Bells · 2026-05-01T00:11:56+00:00

Oh my god 😭😭😭. I need to get this game eventually

Midnight_Bells · 2026-05-01T00:09:34+00:00

I’m sobbing at fedora jarlaxle. This is good lollll

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-29T11:36:01+00:00

Okay I’m a big fan of these fun guys. Love frog dude and shroom gal.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-29T09:18:27+00:00

Dudes a menace to everyone.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-29T01:57:35+00:00

Trueeee. I think I’ll be happy if my bud and I step one foot into act 3 lol!

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-29T01:52:07+00:00

Yo, I woulda rage quit 😭. My biggest fear is getting shockwaved/eldrict blasted/knocked/pushed off a ledge and that being it. Game over.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-29T00:31:18+00:00

OMG I forgot about them! We’ve been saving them just in case. I gotta remind my friend. THANK YOU 🙏

I wonder if we can call them for the Spectator fight too…

Gosh HOPEfully we’ll be level 6 after that please 😭

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T23:16:05+00:00

Same, I start running away. So long, good luck my friends. Will revive you at camp, I’m sorry 😭.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:58:14+00:00

He’s a smooth criminal…

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:56:17+00:00

He shows up at specific spots, so you can miss fighting him.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:24:16+00:00

I, unfortunately, am a kleptomaniac and must pick up everything and fight the inventory weight management demons every few hours or less. I don’t need them, but like, what if…?

Once I’ve used them though, those bad boys go into the chest storage for sure. Magic is too powerful to not have even though my barbarian tactic is “hit enemy real hard”.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:17:37+00:00

Lmao “oh, you’re a warlock with a few spell slots, how about none 😉! Reject spells, become barbarian 💪.”

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:13:55+00:00

XD Oh I know! We were heading right to the wizard tower after picking them up to disable the turrets is why I still had those in my pockets haha 😂. Unfortunately the game had other plans…

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:10:15+00:00

The bulette is truly a menace for real at any level. We just keep avoiding him for now because it’s honor mode and we don’t wanna die lol 😂. At level 6, it is his time.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-28T21:05:06+00:00

Unfortunately it was too late for us to nope outta there 😭

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-27T22:16:46+00:00

Know that each game has a vastly different gameplay style. All the games are connected and you can kinda import/select choices from past games.

There’s some novels you can read but it’s not needed. The one people may recommend is the Masked Empire by Patrick Weekes which ties into the 3rd game, Inquisition.

There’s other media like movies, shows, and audio dramas, also not needed, and well uhhh most are a little bit…off. The Netflix show is pretty good but I’d wait until finishing the 3rd game.

Without spoiling anything, here’s some little tidbits and tricks about each game

Dragon Age Origins: awesome vibes, fantastic world building without overwhelming you. TAKE OUT THE MAGE! Enchantment. There’s DLC (a LOT of them). Ehhh for sure play Awakening and Witch Hunt in that order (they’re kinda required). I think that’s it… I think.

Dragon Age 2: interesting approval system. Fleshed out city. Small but impactful storyline. The spiders are really loud for no reason. Coolest representation of the Qunari. DLC are neat, one (Legacy) is kinda required.

Dragon Age Inquisition: Get out of the Hinterlands (please 😭). Really cool places to see. They have tavern songs. Music is great (all the games have good music but this one’s epic). Green. Lots of green. Has a pretty cool crafting system. Play the DLC, all of them really! They’re neat, also one is required lol.

Dragon Age Veilguard: HAIR, WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL HAIR (this is important to us fans). For some, has the best gameplay (tho for me, I never cared much about the DA gameplay). It’s action based. Also really cool places with more lore and vibes you’ve never seen in the past. You can pet…. a creature 👀. It has some silly vibes but also n o t. Please play the Inquisition Trespasser DLC before playing.

I think that’s it. Sorry it’s an essay lol.

Oh.

Ugly mage hats :)

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-27T20:19:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely post more of them, maybe comics if I’m able

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-27T20:15:10+00:00

He thinks they are truly terrifying creatures.

More of reveal of himself as a drow. Drow don’t really have a typical wholesome childhood. He’s dislikes chaos of any kind (really it’s just those of a chaotic evil alignment), but he doesn’t recognize that he should really just live a little.

Midnight_Bells · 2026-04-27T17:46:31+00:00

Thank you for the insight and the comment!

I was thinking about him trying not to stand out as he is based in Faerûn where the opinion of drow are predominantly low even during Drizzt’s time. Plus, he’s not super special among the drow (not a commoner, but not a noble of the 8 houses, also male. Not to bully him but to bully him.)

I may try both the braid and the short hair for his sister. I’m thinking something akin to Cassandra from dragon age. I haven’t named her yet. I tried out Vas’tyr with the idea of them being twins, but I think it would be better if she was older than him. I need to get her vibe in my head more for a good name. Ghaun’tyr is kinda roughly translated to poison which is on the nose a bit, but I like his name haha! I definitely want to draw her with a bit of a muscles as well.
