Countdown to Veilguard - Romances
Переглядів 2,3 тис.7 годин тому
What will the romances of Veilguard look like? I tell you my best guess! Sorry if the editing on this one is a little sloppy. We're down to the WIRE getting this one out on time, but I managed it. I also accidentally deleted an entire chunk of Davrin's section where I talk about honor, so if I seem to refer to it later out of nowhere, that's why. Still! Hope you enjoy!

    There is a small detail about griffins in Inquisition I have always wondered about. Solas mentions them and seems sad that they were gone. Knowing who he is I wondered about the connection to the ancient elves.

    I think the focus on the betrayal having to do with Solas is an error here. I think a companion will betrayal us in some way (at least I hope so), but it won't be related to Solas. Might have to do with the Titans, etc. Having it not be related to Solas makes everyone a potential risk. That all being said, I kinda want it to be Neve so it can be the first mage I meet trend.

    Honestly I hope they break the trend of a mage betraying us and that we don't have anyone betray us. It's happened so often that it would honestly be more of a twist if everyone here was on your side for once. And it's not like it's happened in every entry in the series, Awakening had no one betray you in the end and that worked out fine. Also I just want to romance one of my future wives and just plan out our wedding without worrying about her turning on me, those wedding dresses are expensive.

    Im binging the ceap out of these videos because after seeing my first today, I'm stoked to hear gove such honest praise and critique of this series and its upcoming entry. Not only that, Maddie's take is cheeky and insightful. Even simple things like, "lead w ragtag group of bisexuals" make me laugh, reminisce, and even long. I'm reminded of why this series means so much to me, and am even more excited for Veilguard to drop. Now to finish binging this channel and then being disappointed when its over. Looking forward to the next installments.

    I’m guessing Emmerich due to the “gentleman” part of his character. I love the gentleman thief archetype. No ill intentions, of course, just either self interest or greater good, but once there a gentleman does not go back on their word.

    Don't forget Merrill. She used Hawk to restore her blighted Eluvian and then her entire clan came to kill her, and you had to kill them if you wanted to save her. She also thought careful use of blood magic was perfectly ok. She was sweet and cute, and slightly insecure. A lot like Bellara.

    • @thebloodyarchon5013
      @thebloodyarchon5013 20 годин тому

      Meh, depends on how you handle your choices with her. You can avoid killing her entire clan, I can't remember how though, it's been a while since I played DA2. Also unlike Anders, Morrigan or Solas, Merrill is straight with you from the beginning about her intentions and what she's doing so you can't really say she "used" hawke.

    What is with the 'in every game there is a mage who turns on you' thing going on? Morrigan never turns on you. She throws a fit and leaves if you refuse her help, but I'd hardly count that as turning on you the way Anders and Solas did.

    • @abcdefghij337

    Bellara will not be a betrayer. If she is i'm ready to bet she doesn't even know she is manipulated she sound like a nerdy, impressionable, young women. Neve, possible, yes the fall of the veil means everyone is a mage so...Magisterium issue is solve. Emmrich is too honnest with his magic to even try it _______________ Taash she is a sellsword, a potential benhasrat and an adventurer, honestly if Iron Bull didn't tell he was a spy no one would have guess, Taash is in the same bag. Davrin... is a member of a Dying order the moment the 2 remaining gods are down. Solas hate them but as morrigan child proove it they can have their use. Harding would just make no sense, i don't think Solas would trust her. Lucanis... oh the man is the host of some magical being like a jekil and hide, maybe only a half of him is trust worthy.

    @birdieey 22 години тому

    Bioware is a lot of things, but I wouldn't say they're subtle, I think that how you get "betrayed" has been more surprising than the who. No one would trust Morrigan, and both Anders and Solas were broadcasting suss from the moment you rocked up to them. Whoever it is, they're going to "tell us" within five minutes of meeting them, maybe ten. Also it's Bellara. :)

    I was going to disagree about how it's always unexpected and say, "What about Anders? His actions aren't a surprise at all. The potion he asks for our help with is literally just the recipe for gunpowder," but then you said it's always a bomb dropped on the player, and I can't argue that - even if the bomb is mostly dropped on the chantry.

    I also just remembered that if the warden dies in origins they get a great tomb in weisshaupt so if it's not there they canonize the warden alive and vice versa, including old god baby thing Also a romanced zevran becomes the leader of the antivan crows if warden dies I'd say those are major choice story details that affect the north to overlook

    (SPOILERS for other Dragon Age games except DAV) There's a joke amongst friends that I'm clairvoyant because I can guess plotlines (actually I have seen a bajillion movies and TV shows with repeating storylines). While playing the Dragon Age series, I've made choices that seemingly distanced myself from the 3 main betrayers of each game all due to gut feeling alone. I adored Morrigan, but always kept an eye on her, never fully trusting the Witch of the Wilds (still doing the baby ritual because I didn't want to die). I pushed away Anders in DA2 despite liking him in Awakening because I got this reckless revolutionary vibe off him, you know the type, because he felt very unstable and kept antagonising Fenris, who I romanced. We all know how that game ended (I still think Anders was a VERY well-written character). As for Solas, I digged the lore he gave and his view on the fade, his banter with other companions, but he kept being racist and so unforgiving towards my Lavellan's choices that I benched him for good after 40% of the game. I agree, my gut says it's Neve. Ever since the release date trailer for DAV, my gut says not to trust her (she's still in my top 3 choices for my first romance tho). She feels so integral to the story right from the start, and it felt to me like the perfect she-was-the-enemy-all-along-just-like-solas kind of deal which could impact our Rook greatly if introduced to her right as our game begins...Or maybe I'm just delusional and Bioware pulled an 'Isabella' showing a crumb of the possible relationship between N and R, just like they did with Hawke in DA2's trailer. Either way, we shall wait and see. P.S. Honourable mentions - Scout Harding. With the things teased in the trailers so far regarding her personal story, she may be linked to a new threat altogether, making her an enemy without her realising it. If Bioware wanted to break the mage-traitor streak this could be the ticket to do it as she, you know, is not catagorized as a mage!

  • @redheadedtobi8793
    @redheadedtobi8793 23 години тому

    My head cannon for Taash being called they/them was because Iron Bull said in the Qun female qunari that are made warriors or fighters become for all intents and purposes male. So i just assumed Taash was a soldier in the Qun then escaped and decided to go by they/them. It has since been debunked but that was my theory for a while XD.
