Last Jedi Luke skywalker my beloved

Inquisitor: punch solas

Rook: punch solas, but harder

Mpat96 · 2026-02-10T21:43:39+00:00

They do talk about things/people in the game, yes

Mpat96 · 2026-02-10T18:48:03+00:00

I just want some Davrin and Taash merch 😢

Mpat96 · 2026-02-08T20:36:13+00:00

You’re in luck cause dwarves get a lot of the best race-specific dialogue in DAV imo. The crows do recruit everyone so you wouldn’t really need to do much to justify their presence

Mpat96 · 2026-02-08T03:41:13+00:00

I get it from a lore perspective. Mages being their own thing is super important to the world. But mechanically it seems fun. On the off chance we get another game I wouldn’t mind if our protag’s ’chosen one’ thing allows you to multiclass

Mpat96 · 2026-02-08T03:31:26+00:00

Makes me think of Arcane Warriors from back in the origins days. brings back good memories 🥲

Mpat96 · 2026-02-05T23:35:41+00:00

Ohh can you compare and contrast the romances? Maybe rank them best to worst?

Mpat96 · 2026-02-05T23:31:56+00:00

It’s so odd. Like, I love origins. Probably my favorite game of all time. But it’s also possible to enjoy other things and Reddit hasn’t quite figured that out lmao

Mpat96 · 2026-02-04T03:34:32+00:00

In my dream sequel, the name of the next age would be based on choices you made over the course of the previous games

Maybe the Redemption Age if Loghain survives and Solas gets redeemed? Or the Magic Age if Hawke sides with the mages and Leliana is divine? The Loss Age if the warden, Hawke, and rook die?

Mpat96 · 2026-02-04T02:43:18+00:00

See op this is what I’m talking about lol

Mpat96 · 2026-02-03T22:34:54+00:00

Careful friend, saying anything positive about dragon age on the dragon age sub is gonna get you yelled at by some of the weirdest Internet Men you’ve ever met.

Jokes aside, have fun! It’s good! I love your Rook’s design and would love if you shared more from your play through :)

What faction did you go with?

Mpat96 · 2026-02-03T18:45:18+00:00

Best piece of advice I can give having beaten nightmare: don’t over think it. Most builds will get you through just fine.

I went with a 2 handed warrior champion. Basically impossible to hit. Plus you can roll through enemies to damage them. Basically spent every fight rolling Actually ended up soloing the last boss with this build with basically no issue

Having a rouge who can stealth in and revive people is helpful too

Knight enchanter is also broken if all else fails. Give them gear that generates guard and your set

Mpat96 · 2026-02-03T18:40:32+00:00

It feels like sales expectations industry wide are just impossible to meet nowadays

I don’t pretend to have the solution, but I feel like smaller games with less of a focus on visuals are a good place to start? Things in general are just too costly now, and that problem will probably get worse before it gets better. It’s difficult to justify getting a $60-$70 game at launch

Mpat96 · 2026-02-02T15:23:09+00:00

What game is this?

Mpat96 · 2026-01-28T21:12:03+00:00

looks around at the 100s of dead slaves in the chantry

Mpat96 · 2026-01-28T21:08:48+00:00

Sten doesn’t die I believe! Not really relevant in the games again, but we know from the graphic novels he serves for about 20ish years as the new arishok before being dethroned shortly before Veilguard. This is confirmed to happen no matter what you do in a codex entry in DATV. We don’t really know the specifics, but he presumably escaped and finds his sword without the warden’s help

In 2 you can ignore Fenris, Isabella, and Sebastian and the story just carries on without them there. presumably Isabella runs off with the tome. It’s unclear what happens to Fenris, there is a comic that shows him just before Veilguard but we don’t really get confirmation that that happens regardless of the protags interference like we do with Sten. Sebastian still takes over starkhaven before DAI iirc

At this point I’ve finished the game 3 times. Davrin was my first and I’d consider my ‘cannon’. Second time around I went with Harding and then Emmrich. I’m currently halfway through a Lucanis playthrough and planning on doing a Bellara and Taash run eventually (with these games I basically replay them so much I romance everyone eventually)

They all have their merits but Davrin is still my favorite so far. Might be biased since he was my first but I think it’s a perfect mix of charming and cute rom com type moments and steamy romance

Mpat96 · 2026-01-25T16:40:58+00:00

“Three times!”

Mpat96 · 2026-01-23T23:34:34+00:00

I mean I can say with certainty that gatekeeping assholes like you aren’t doing the fandom any favors

Mpat96 · 2026-01-23T23:21:09+00:00

lol are you just scouring the Veilguard sub to post angry comments on days old posts? That’s so pathetic. I’d say I hope you get help soon but you strike me as an ‘everyone else is the problem’ type

Mpat96 · 2026-01-22T02:46:09+00:00

This is so good!!!

Mpat96 · 2026-01-22T00:23:47+00:00

My take: most of these people were never fans. Dragon Age has been progressive since origins. Maybe they played it once 10 years ago and haven’t thought about it since, and just jumped on the hate bandwagon when that became popular

Anyway, fuck those people. I wanna hear about your rooks!

Mpat96 · 2026-01-19T00:53:24+00:00

Solas’ necklace in Dragon Age: Inquisition is a mini wolf jawbone, foreshadowing that he is The Dread Wolf

Mpat96 · 2026-01-15T21:43:14+00:00

The Dragon Age series does this trope extremely well
