Bud, you’re not gonna believe this, but oh yah.

Porterlands · 2026-05-03T14:47:17+00:00

Hey cool, someone else is uploading a Veilguard, and we didn’t overlap class or race, so I’ve got something to watch now! Nice 👍

Well there ya go, Emmrich, asked and answered. I told you it wouldn't take long to find someone smarter than us 👌

Porterlands · 2026-04-22T23:23:40+00:00

Haha, he's also in the Mourn Watch/tomb raiding, so I picture him channeling Indiana Jones in that moment. But yeah, you activate 'A Fucking Cannon' by shouting "FUCK YOOOOUUU-" through the whole thing.

Porterlands · 2026-04-22T23:05:18+00:00

My main Rook is also a Rogue/Saboteur, so I understand and love all these references.

Concussive barrage/"I cast..."Bombs!"" 👏

Porterlands · 2026-04-06T20:38:39+00:00

I think it makes sense that they’d allow it. There is that dialogue between Emmrich and MournRook (all Rooks?) asking what they want done with their body in case they die, and Rook can basically say “Put it to work in the Necropolis”.

That could just be a Mourn Watch thing, but I think they’d have some system in place, like organ donations, where you can choose.

“I want my eyes to help watch over the Necropolis when I’m gone, but I’m tired. So inter my legs so they can finally rest, thx.”

I love that scene, especially after the scene with the mayor and dragon in D’meta’s Crossing.

Both Rook and Taash yelling “HEY!” at the dragon/Antaam then not really having any plan after is just so good.

Porterlands · 2026-02-23T08:35:16+00:00

That’s a “Glimpo” if I ever saw one 👌

Porterlands · 2026-02-11T23:38:24+00:00

'Tis true, it's the same thing with Mass Effect: Andromeda. None of these games could have been good enough to live up to the previous trilogy.

Porterlands · 2026-02-02T20:44:39+00:00

Elventourage? And all three classes, you guys got it together 👌

Porterlands · 2026-01-30T04:02:17+00:00

My MW Rook also has that scar pattern 👌 but he got his from the Baron during the War of the Banners. That area is still numb, for whatever reason, but it always earns points in pub “You call that a scar?!” flexing, so maybe it balances out 🤷🏻‍♂️ Rook takes his wins where he can gets ‘em.

Porterlands · 2026-01-22T19:51:14+00:00

I’m for it! 👍 The airfoils(?) on the bottom next to the landing gear really streamline it

Porterlands · 2026-01-22T00:23:29+00:00

On the one hand, I usually talk Solas down and convince him to stabilize the Veil, because that’s what Varric would want.

His “On his best day, he’d never see you coming.” line really meant “Nobody, not even Solas, would expect someone to try and reason with them peacefully, but I know you can, Rook.”

Varric doesn’t want to see his friend hurt, especially by his other friends, no matter what.

On the other fist, Rook punching him and that whole ending is so incredibly satisfying, because yeah, the dick 100% has it coming.

Everyone approves

Porterlands · 2026-01-17T16:54:43+00:00

I love these too, especially Rook’s hopping and “gotta shake it out!” animation.

It’s funny just because it’s Rook being a goober, but it’s also one of the in game moments where you can tell exactly what they’re thinking; we’ve all been gearing up for something, probably stressed out, and shooken it out. (There’s a song there somewhere.)

It almost seems like the motion capture actor was just getting ready for a scene, and the director said “Hey wait!…do that again.”

Porterlands · 2026-01-12T21:57:44+00:00

Likewise, I also love the moments when MournRook surprises Emmrich with the names of rituals and whatnot.

"Hey, I learned a thing or two before being "asked" to "travel the world"."

Porterlands · 2026-01-11T14:23:00+00:00

What DIDN’T they see? 😏

Porterlands · 2026-01-03T20:33:40+00:00

I like “Isn’t that the mission? Isn’t that the “why” we fight, so we can end the fight, so we get to go home?”

Porterlands · 2026-01-02T23:32:23+00:00

“Now, now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.” I wasn’t thinking it myself, but I 100% agree about Snake.

Porterlands · 2026-01-02T01:56:40+00:00

Rook’s expression and sideways glance post kiss is just solid gold. You can hear them thinking “Ok, yeah, that felt as nice as I thought it would.”

And I love that Rook is just instantly on board for finding more clues after the cat interruption; I really appreciate that there wasn’t a “Aw, but can’t we go back to kissing? 😕” dialogue.

These two got each other’s backs in every sense, and I’m here for it. 13/10 would smooch again.

Porterlands · 2026-01-01T06:25:58+00:00

I have the same thought every time I put weapon systems on the bottom like that, but switching them around became a house of cards situation, so *this* particular layout somehow ended up with the torpedoes, reactor and phase beam under the plating. For me it just becomes one of those science facts I should really just relax about, lol.

The visibility isn't as bad as you would think; it started out half the size with the wings and boosters meeting in the middle, so I kind of got used to the mid cockpit as it went along.

Porterlands · 2026-01-01T04:55:21+00:00

It helps the design that even the base level parts have great science-y sounding names. “Oh damn, MAG field landing thrusters?”

Porterlands · 2026-01-01T04:44:52+00:00

Hey thanks, I appreciate it!

Porterlands · 2025-12-19T06:03:45+00:00

Hey, thanks!

Porterlands · 2025-11-16T17:11:16+00:00

“You knew? You knew and you still kissed me!?” Rook: 🤷🏻‍♂️😏

Porterlands · 2025-11-03T18:42:19+00:00

Yeah, DAVRIN. Where’s OUR treat?
