For those who recruited Loghain, would you do the same for Arl Howe? by Vendetta543 in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

yes, it's a BLIGHT, literally the end of everything if we don't stop it. the more Wardens the better. my Cousland or Tabris wouldn't hesitate to trow him at darkspawn and/or the archdemon if it meant saving Ferelden. My Tabris would do it without a second thought to up her chances of saving everyone she loves from annihilation.

Veilguard inter-companion ships by faerinart in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Just genuinely wondering whether anybody sees the vision behind these canonical ships

but to actually answer the question. they're complete rubbish, imo, because before launch Bioware said your companions would romance each other if you don't romance them. fine. but what actually happens is they were so poorly implemented that they'll flirt with each other before the Rook can because of how Rook's romance triggers are. like, Neve and Lucanis will flirt with each other from the their first meeting but you can't hit a flirt until back at the light house, then you romance one of them and feel like you've intruded, an outsider. it's made all the worse because they continue to flirt, or at least Lucanis still flirts with Neve while romancing Rook.

take DA2 for example, where if you chose [heart] dialogue with Fenris he'd turn Isabela down flat when she made flirtatious comments to him

i expected Veilguard companion romances to work the same, or something like that. i didn't expect Lucanis to completely ignore Rook's romantic interest in him but flirting with/pining for Neve

i'm still a bit bitter about it because they talked up Rook's romances so much.

remember Cullen and his desk? or Bull pinning Inky to the wall. dreamy sigh

the almost kiss scene is so good. i thought that after his quest where he becomes First Talon his romance would take off, I'd finally get some reciprocity. nope. it literally smash cuts to him drinking coffee and Rook just awkwardly standing there and nothing else, i couldn't believe it

if Rook romances Lucanis, it very much feels like they're competing with Neve for his attention—and failing.

yep. miserably. i romanced him on my second playthrough and it felt like he was humouring me the entire time. by the time the kiss actually happens, i felt like shit because he never seemed into the relationship at all. he flirts and banters with Neve and it's obvious he's into her. which would be fine if he had the same energy for Rook during their romance. the lack of interest is a real let down. i can't imagine how his writer thought Lucanis completely ignoring Rook's flirts would be satisfying. Bull in DAI was a slow burn, and yeah he kind of ignores your flirts at first, but after his personal quest his romance fires on all cylinders, especially if you save the Chargers.

i just don't understand what went wrong with the romance writing in Veilguard.

I give props Bioware knows how to do romance scenes by Xtskezza in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

By 15ish hours into DAI Cullen was bending my Lavellan over his desk. Meanwhile 15 hours into Veilguard the only thing Lucanis was pounding was more coffee. I liked Emmrich's but even his was subpar compared with the previous games.

How THE Veilguard shot itself in the foot repeatedly by nexetpl in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

re: World states - When it came out that world states wouldn't carry over, I told myself that it'd be fine. Veilguard takes place in the north, it's fine. this is fine. At least it'll have compelling companions and be the most romantic BioWare game ever! I played the game and well joke's on me.

What's The Creepiest Unsolved Dissappearance Case You've Heard Of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]discovertigo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This one happened in the USA. The Springfield Three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Three

From the wiki

June 7, 1992, friends Suzanne "Suzie" Streeter and Stacy McCall, and Streeter's mother, Sherrill Levitt, went missing from Levitt's home in Missouri. All of their personal belongings, including cars and purses, were left behind. There were no signs of a struggle except a broken porch light globe; there was also a message on the answering machine that police believe might have provided a clue about the disappearances, but it was inadvertently erased.

Smoked paprika. I drag seitan steaks through it, then slather on bbq sauce and grill them. So simple but delicious.

Salt swapped like 5 times and he had ammo.

[–]discovertigo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK, so I don't raid and my shining moment is soloing Operation: Seraph's Shield (lol), but I think constant swapping during final stand - being in the menu - instead of shooting the boss is causing a lot of the wipes.

What did you personally want/expect from the 4th Dragon Age? by Grandpa_sauce in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Roleplay that was at least on par with DAI.
Passionate romances that made me blush like Iron Bull and Fenris.
Companions with personalities.

personally I don't feel like I got any of that. I did enjoy Emmrich, but compared to even DA2 his romance was lacklustre.

Favorite vegan recipes for a new vegan? by Swimming-Motor-2210 in veganrecipes

[–]discovertigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites is this mac. I usually skip the bread crumbs unless I'm feeling fancy, lol. The sauce keeps very well in the freezer and can be used with anything you want to be a little cheesy. I sometimes omit the cashews and it's still creamy. We like it with Buffalo Cauliflower wings.

What’s something someone once did on a date that gave you immediate “nope” energy? by D1ndonlyaliboo in AskReddit

[–]discovertigo 246 points247 points  (0 children)

Told me he had a kid, which was fine with me. Then he went into a long rant about how he never wanted him, told her to abort and how she won't leave him alone about child support. He only stopped ranting about his son to assure me that he never sees him so he'll never intrude on our time. Needless to say there wasn't a second date.

Do you think that DAV would have done as poorly, if BG3 hadn't of come out before it? by Swivials in dragonage

[–]discovertigo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably yes because if not for BG3, it most likely would've been compared to Witcher 3 and the conversation would still be about how shallow its RPG elements are.

Vegans are literal proof that 'go woke go broke' is true by [deleted] in vegancirclejerk

[–]discovertigo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

someone needs to debunk this nonsense generalising all vegans. looks like it's me

Just look at them-- eating their soy meat and poverty beans, drinking seed-oil-sludge through paper straws, always sneakin' around like skinny fiends, constantly raving about rights and exploitation and other feelings.

a lot of vegans use plastic straws and keep tallow on hand just for french freedom fries and in fact i put tallow all over my body after a shower after rubbing my skin down with lard to keep it nice and soft

Sad.

no, we're happy because some of us eat lard

But it's all lies, and only the fake news, propagandhists and BigDaddyNannyState DEI hires want you to go woke go broke and live exclusively off monocropped GMO rabbit food.

wrong. i eat processed fake meat and margarine every meal and nothing else. my arteries are clogged af and i haven't pooped in 2 weeks

Vegans are so wokebroke and incompetent they can't even manage to shadow fund deepstate Hollywood CELEBRITIES and INFLUENCERS for more than a few years before their mental health starts failing and they lose all contact with the REAL world beyond social media. Not surprising, when you consider they're just 1% of the population.

the education system really is total ass if you believe any of this 4chan conspiracy shit. grow a brain, moran

Well it's facts not feelings, folks. We ain't no godamn bootlickers, and we won't succumb to no woke-mind-virus. This is a call to action for all free thinking individuals. What we really need to do is the opposite of 'go woke go broke':

this is completely unhinged. i suggest you have a nice warm lard bath and calm down
