And I say all of this as someone who didn't actually hate Veilguard. I just wish it felt more in line with the canon and lore that Dragon Age Origins, 2, and Inquisition gave us.

At the end of the day the reactivity is just one straw on a pile of straws, as it were. I appreciate the team for what we did get but I know somewhere in the annals of the multiverse, there's a Dragon Age 4 that was better, and we didn't get it.

I get that it's really hard to do, especially four games in, in a substantive way for everyone. But considering the depth some games have, where you can play repeated, fulfilling, thorough playthroughs with different outcomes... Veilguard feels weak in this regard *as well as others.*

IMO the inclusion of it for some but not for all is the biggest problem Veilguard has. If you played as a Solasmancer, you got a lot of reactivity, and it felt very satisfying. But my Blackwallmancer self got... a couple of weaksauce little codex entries and a letter. Whoopdedoo.

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Either Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough" Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

Great write-up. One thing I'll say: no matter what I think of reactivity between games in general, it's not a promise that I think can be abandoned lightly once established as a feature of a series, painful or no.

somehow it's only people who voted for him but want to keep enjoying life without consequences for it who get all bent out of shape about this, who would have thought!

I'm cluttering this thread even more but I think I have the most complete version of my alphabet cheat sheet from the letters currently available as I have been unable to find the last three letters from current samples. Dot logic seems to occur on the major hexagon vertices not touched by lines.

Telling the 40-50 year olds to get off the internet they built is a choice tbh

It is so weird when younger people think that getting older means ceasing social participation

This is also why so many of you fear aging. You think that you will be forced away from life and society

have we tried NOT rebooting every fucking thing

I can't think of a single revival/reboot that has worked out for big faves. X-Files sucked ass. Gilmore Girls ruined everything I ever held dear about that show in the first place. Veronica Mars was awful. Sex and the City was actual garbage. And those WEREN'T Whedon-tainted misogynist space racism.

Break My Heart (I Expect You To) - Chapter 1 - CantoriDiamond - Dragon Age (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

my fellow blackwallmancers... I have started a wip that wonders what it'd be like had inky known the whole time. and not only that, but chosen his confidence over the inquisition, because why does she owe them loyalty?

Uh yeah readability matters?

Yeah, I wish they would just post them individually. SOMEONE out there will read your short little stories! I WILL! But I'm not sifting through 235023958 fandoms to read it.

05.03.2026 11:24 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

so you know how a lot of people seem to want to put all their oneshots into one giant fic on ao3 with 50 bajillion chapters in 50 bajillion fandoms and you have to sift through the whole damn thing to find the fandom you want and it's infuriating?

this is why 'exclude crossovers' exists imo

You're trapped on the last TV show you watched. Where are you?

I'm in the DC Metro area.

You're trapped in the latest fanfiction you read. How well do you fare?

Well I'm fine and dandy, because I have Avengers.
