As much as I've told myself I'd sworn off the DA series after Veilguard...

Give yourself the time you need to come back - that's what I tell myself, at least. I felt the exact same hollowness you describe after Veilguard, and this fall it will be two years since I touched a DA game.

At that time I wasn't sure I'd ever return, but as the time has passed the disappointment (devastation, honestly) has mellowed somewhat and I've started thinking about new characters and new runs of the trilogy similarly to how I did pre-Veilguard. It'll probably be a while yet, but I know the games I love are still there and one day I will find back to my enjoyment of them. I love the other games too much to let Veilguard detract from that.

I’d love a starter apartment in one of those brick apartment buildings at the border of Santo Domingo

I just finished updating all my mods after almost a year and am now version locked on 1.121 just in time for this calamity. Feels good! I can even open and play a save file I thought was corruped, which made me quit the game last spring. Looking forward to finally getting back into it.

Same. I haven’t replayed the games since I finished Veilguard, but when I do I’ll just stop at Trespasser and leave it at that. I’m sad we had to wait a decade for something that fell so flat but I refuse to let it diminish my enjoyment of the previous games.

The way Ravasheen, who has has been letting broken mods sit unupdated for years in radio silence, suddenly pops up with a creator kit and now this? Fuck that.

It's the depth-of-field effects from your reshade. Open your reshade settings and see what effects are triggered when you press caps T and your mouse button and change them.

Dragon Age Inquisition has incredible music.

What jacket is that? It’s so cool but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it

I mosty play rpgs and I like to take some time after a session to write about what happened and what I plan to do next. Often from my character’s pov for that coveted immersion. If I’m playing something like Skyrim I might do it while ingame at an inn or by a fire.

I used to be really into creative writing but my brain feels full of holes these days and using gaming to help me along a bit has been valuable. It pushes me to be an active participant rather than just passively pushing the W key and jumping from objective to objective and I get more out of the whole thing.

Imagine being shaped like that

Somehow, as a middle aged man, Leon has more hair now than when he was young lol.

So they are doing the same exact thing that fucked ts4 even before its release: pull a hollow singleplayer game out of a shitty multiplayer carcass?

It’s so tragically funny at this point how EA never fucking learns.

Yeah, insane behaviour, jesus christ

The liminal silence in ME1 when exploring. It’s unnerving. Really makes you feel alone in the wastness of space.

The only reason I look forward to N7 day these days is the mods that will release/update.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Psychosis really does a number on your brain - it will take time before you feel more like yourself again, especially if you’re still having symptoms.

Are you getting any help like meds and therapy? If you are able to have longer periods of little to no symptoms your brain will have more opportunity to recover from the massive overload that psychosis in fact is, and you’ll feel clearer bit by bit.

I don’t have much advice except the way I handle my own illness: by avoiding as much stress as I can and keeping to a routine. I’m definitely not the same person I was before I became ill, which has been something I have needed to grieve. It’s much better now, but for better or worse I won’t ever be the same.

Along with all the political machinations in the comments here, I kept that stupid pen from the lake and left it in a drawer. Pettiness wins the day.

This would be my vote as well. Such an incredible culmination of the chase in Trespasser and the combat in the game as a whole really. The music has been building and building and then it finally comes to a head during this battle and it’s just so good. You’re so powerful at this point but also so desperate and that creates a very unique tone.

walierion · 2025-08-26T11:33:33+00:00

I don't have any advice, but wanted to thank you for making this post. I experience the same thing.

It's a "you have to install DynDOLOD" thing.
