Zevran was a special case. His choices where join or die. Plus this could be a dead zevran playthrough to keep from spoiling cameos. Bioware does like there Grimm default worldstate.
Crow last names come from their houses. Viago is the Talon of house de Riva. The crow Rook is a member of house de Riva (possibly purchased, and definitely trained by the house), so Viago is their boss. They are most likely not related, unless you are able to make your Rook another royal bastard.
@@unifadewalker Think of the House names as a way to determine who recruited, trained and mentored you as a Crow. Except the first Talon. She oversees all of them.
that would explain why the duelist specialization for rogues, which is Crow themed, is centered around poison damage, I Viago trained you, then you’d be pretty good at using poisons
Every time I watch a spoiler video, I swear to myself I won't watch anymore and then something else gets dropped. I'm learning have poor impulse control.
I like that none of the characters we've seen so far seem to fall into stereotypical pitfalls. Bellara is cute and upbeat and could have been a complete airhead but instead she is extremely intelligent, sweet, and resourceful. Lucanis is brooding and has a dark side and could have been pigeon holed as a rude, bad boy with a heart of gold type but instead he's very sweet, caring, and seems to put other over himself. I am really impressed with this game so far. I think the story is going to be amazing.
4:02 The Crows basically buy children and torture/train them to be assassins. Those who survive it take the name of the House (ala Zevran of House Arainai). Rook is probably one of these, so we aren't actually *related* to Lucanis. Even if it turns out that a human Rook is potentially related by blood to Viago, there's still no relation to House Dellamorte.
I usually go for the tall Ferelden blond guys like Cullen and Alistair but the moment I saw Lucanis I knew that man would be joining my harem of Bioware men xD.
SPOILERS (kinda) the moment he got the nosebleed... I don't know, man, the nurturer in me awakened. I want to take care of him so bad. BIOWARE, LET ME TAKE CARE OF HIM. I don't know why this makes me so feral.
Ilario was the one I developed a crush on in Tevinter Nights, so I was excited to see him in this scene. But then Lucanis hit us with the “don’t worry about me.” Yes I do, yes I freaking do, you bisexual disaster.
I’m in healthcare and my badge reel at work says: “surviving purely out of spite.” And after the spite reveal I’m like…it’s prophecy. Edit: also Eddie just saying "Feral" for the beginning of this video...is also me.
As an Antivan Crow, you aren't necessarily related to Viago, just that you're in his House and everyone adopts the name. But he's still very much your boss and i cannot wait to meet him❤❤❤❤❤
crow rook definitely isn’t related to viago, just from the same house as him (de riva). he’s basically crow rook’s boss since he’s the talon of the same house.
1000% his cousin is the one that betrayed Lucanis and the Crows sold him out as hes jealous and hopes to be First Talon after his grandmother dies and it was rather sussy to leave as they went into the boat he totally told the Zara what was happening and that they knew Lucanis was still alive too much didnt add up cant wait to play and see if I am right
LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! Thank you thank you thank you!! I’m also a sucker for all things Antivan since the Zevran days. Wonderful that we finally get to finally visit Antiva. Lucanis definitely #1 romance as soon as Oct 31st hits lol
Okay, I’m absolutely gonna romance Lucanis as a shadow dragon mage the first go round, but then i wanna be a crow the second time. Just to pretend Viago is my cousin
Spite reminds me of the Ebony Blade. Mephala speaks through the sword. So that she corrupts the wielder. As the sword is empowered by betrayal. As in killing the wielder's allies .
Im super excited to see even a tiny bit of Antiva. Though as someone who despises the Antivan Crows, I’m sad that there are no options for Rook to express negative opinions about them. All the options look to just be supportive of them. Happy for those who like them though.
I have been obsessed with Antiva since Origins, it’s one of the places in the DA universe I’ve always wanted to see so I’m SO EXCITED we’re heading there in Veilguard! I can’t decide if I want my first Rook to be a crow or not, but I’m definitely doing a playthrough at some point!
I'm gonna romance him 3 playthroughs in a row. I'm interested how different dynamics will be with other crow, Shadow Dragon (they both hunt down Venatori) and mortalitasi Rook (I hope they will have interesting coversations and perspectives on death since they both work with it directly). For next video I'd love to see Taash. I feel like she doesn't get enough attention.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GET VIAGO AND TEIA CONTENT TOO like we are SOOOO spoiled omg ;-; Ever since reading Eight Little Talons and The Wigmaker Job it's like a complete obsession
This! I've been wanting more of viago and teia too! I hollered out loud when I saw them in the video and now my coworkers are looking at me weird... They'll get over it. So hyped to play and romance Lucanis! Halloween can't get here soon enough!
I already want to hug them all so much! I'm still torn between Lucanis and Emmrich for my first romance, but this has me leaning towards Lucanis...if only we could just have a giant polycule
For some reason, Lucanis’s demon Spite is reminding me of Kite Man Hell Yeah whenever Golden Glider loses control of her powers and her astral projection form appears and kills anyone on sight.
It's a good sign when the video starts with "Feral feral feral feral" Dragon Age is back everybody. Lord have mercy on those that get in the way when Pillars of Eternity one day takes us to the Vailian Republics
Okay while I love Spite, wee feral lad that he is, I kinda wish we the player couldn't see him? If only for the angst of romancing Lucanis, the emotional wave he flinches and his nose bleeds. Not knowing *why* Spite is throwing a tempertantrum. I'm sure there was a good reason behind why we the player can see Spite, my guess it has to do with why Spite can just put himself in the driver's seat, but think of the emotional turmoil!
I have always loved Antiva since Origins and I have been craving to see it. When I first heard you can go to Antiva, I cried. Then learning we can romance another Crow made me happy as hell. Lucanis is my first romance for sure. I cannot wait!
I couldn't stay away. I was never a huge fan of Zevran but loved the Crows. Damn I have wait a whole month for my new Bioware swoon fest. Also Teia and Viago, the whole gang. So excited. Plus that accent!
Lucanis and Emmrich have me sooooooooo torn. I'm definitely going to be my main, an Elf Mage, I just cant decide between City Elf Crow, or Dalish Elf Veil Jumper! 💚🐺
I love the comparison to Puss in Boots and that makes me love Lucanis more! I discovered your channel from your tiny cave video; that voice & Spite definitely sound the same!
Very minor nitpick, LOVE Lucanis and I’m so excited to make a Rook for him, but do we know if there’s much time between meeting Lucanis and the scene by the fireplace? That’s a hell of a flirt line for a guy we just met if they’re one after the other!
Oh definitely romancing him first. I do love me a good Antivan crow 🤭 but also because I want my firsk rook to be a crow as well so I think this could be fun. I am so excited to explore Treviso and the whole game tbh haha. Second playthrough will be Neve romance. I just love her so much too
Literally just found you yesterday with your video on Emmrich and now I’m hooked! You’re amazing and your commentary is by far the best here ! Ps your video on our old sexy necromancer solidified he will be my first romance so thank you 😂
You know if they can just give me access to the character creator, I can channel this ridiculous amount of hype into something productive. As it is I see several hours of playing in my future.
If Lucanis can tear me away from another pale, broody (well not broody like Fenris) elf vampire from BG3 then I'm sold because the chokehold I'm in...also I'm playing a mage straight up. So Fenris/Hawke 2.0!
you're such a mood lol. I can't wait to see my Rook with Lucanis too! Thank you for this video, I was waiting for the full "I want to talk to Rook" scene, I've seen it chopped up but never all together like this! I appreciate it!
I wonder if zevran will make some kind of appearance? He’s one of my favourites but now I’m thinking he is not because some of the team from BioWare don’t even know who he is 😢 ❤
@@CLReit Didn't he said that Crows should give up after his friend was dead ? As in nobody really knew him that well to pursue him as priority ? Also it's been about 10 years+ by this point they should give up. Especially if Zevran is with Warden.
@cracmar03 He is still being hunted by them in Inquisition. The crows never give up. Not only did he not fulfill his contract in DA1. He has been killing crows, and in DAI, he took one of their targets. They are not happy with him.
Describing yourself as feral and all of this is literally my current existence XD everything you said, I relate to. Christ. Ever since reading his story I was hoping we’d get him as a companion and HE IS PERFECT. not to mention Spite. I am SO curious how that whole arc is going to go. Not to mention VIAGO? He gets to be the leader of a crow rook’s house? HELLO? Like WOW. I expected one of the dead houses or something but this is AMAZING. I will be curious how a Crow Rook handles Solas because I believe they have a contact to kill him so what if they spare him? I want to know how Lucanis deals with Crow Rook lol. Also I didn’t expect to go to Treviso or meet Catarina and the rest so early… I am pumped. Like damn. I can’t wait for BioWare to break my heart. We all know this is going to be the dramatic romance.
Definitely Appears badass, is a cinnamon roll. So, right now in Alphabetical order. Bellara: Appears to be a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll. Davon: Appears badass, is badass. Emmerich: Appears genteel, is a cinnamon roll. Harding: Appears to be a cinnamon roll, is badass. Neve: Appears genteel, is badass. Tash: Appears badass, no idea what she is.
"The crows send their regards." DIED Also, the amount of back and forth I did as the video started and you were just talking that I did fighting with myself on if I wanted to watch and spoil stuff was crazy. To say spoiling won is an understatement! CANNOT WAIT TO ROMANCE THIS MAN!.....Now do I play a mage for spiciness or just go for my favorite rogue???!?!?!
Definitely plan on romancing Lucanis my first playthrough with my qunari mage Shadow Dragon Rook. Especially considering that she's going to be antsy with the entire idea of working with assassins, let alone one with a demon in him...and walking around as a qunari mage in Treviso.
Місяць тому
I wouldn't want to break up a relationship, but between what I read of Viago and Lucanis in Tevinter Nights, Viago is more my type. Plus, he's the best-looking guy I've seen in the game thus far (+ he looks less cartoonish). But since he's not available...
I heard he was a disaster and possessed and a Crow and... ok, any one of these would have sold me, but omg, there's more! He looks so soft, and Spite looks fun. I can't wait!
I'm romancing him second because the first Rook I want to play with is someone more suited for Davrin. But I cannot wait! And I cannot believe we're already talking about first and second playthroughs... this is real, guys!
I just love Viago and Teia so much😭 hope we get more options of dialogue with them by being a crow! And I love Lucanis too!! I just have this certainty that he is the kind that would knit little hats for Manfred in his free time and can't wait to find out if I'm right
No, the Crows are divided into Houses. The main houses leaders are Talons or head of houses basically. Viago is the 5th Talon (out of 8 with the 1st being the most powerful) and the Head of House De Riva. Some Houses are made of blood related members but most are not I don't think since Crows often purchase slaves in groups from childhood with only a few surviving the harsh lifestyle, often being encouraged to kill each other. As far as I can tell, if someone is skilled enough they can be adopted into a House. So there is likely no blood relation to Viago. He's just basically the Antivan Crow Rook's Boss.
I am loving these little appreciation videos, but...all describtions given so far were exact description devs had used for older characters (Dorian's for Emmrich, now Zevran's for Lucanis'), is that intentional? Are you trying to tell us something? I've been obessing over that detail...
Honestly I have no idea who I'm romancing first because there is genuinely not a character I can put at the bottom of the list 😭 Lucanis seems amazing, I am buzzing to see my Rook interacting with him too!
I have no idea who I'm going to romance, if anyone, on my first Rook. It really depends on how my OC develops through playing the game. The ONLY thing(s) I can pin down with certainty are first name, class, & faction. From there, I let my OC develop organically.
“A crow never abandons a contract”
Meanwhile Zevran is sweating lol
romanced Zevran is still with the Warden so the contract could still be fufilled (it wont lbr)😂
literally said out loud "what about that one time?"
😂
Sssh, the crows don't talk about Zevran.
Zevran was a special case. His choices where join or die. Plus this could be a dead zevran playthrough to keep from spoiling cameos. Bioware does like there Grimm default worldstate.
i love Viago so much. he’s like two seconds away from saying his name is Indigo Montoya and i killed his father.
Yeeeesssssss I would die for this man!! 😂
@@unifadewalker most sane Viago enjoyer
🤣
Yeeeess... Viago ❤
Prepare to die 😂
UniFade : You're going to love him.
Me (who has been obsessed since the reveal trailer in June) : Duh...
Just agreeing with you 😂

I could take them both (not in a fight). 🥰
😂
AYO!? 🤨📸
Every time I watch a spoiler video, I swear to myself I won't watch anymore and then something else gets dropped. I'm learning have poor impulse control.
Even the Antivan NPCs are hot. 😅
The abrupt tone switch from “Enjoyyy~” to “FERAL! fffffFFFFFFFFERAL” 😂
😂🙌
@@unifadewalker I’m so excited!! Lots of maniacal giggling here in Camp Feral 😂

Omg relatable!!
**swoon** I've had a crush on this fictional man since Tevinter Mights came out. I cannot wait!
It's a different thing entirely to hear his voice, though.
Cant wait to become best friends with a man with a demon inside him again
Ilario was the one I developed a crush on in Tevinter Nights, so I was excited to see him in this scene. But then Lucanis hit us with the “don’t worry about me.” Yes I do, yes I freaking do, you bisexual disaster.

I still haven’t decided if I’m gonna romance Emmrich or Lucanis first! 🥹🥹 so torn between the two, I love them both
You could be cruel and go this route. Knock boots with Lucanis. Then leave him for Emmrich or Harding.
Romancing Lucanis is going to be an experience with Spite standing over his shoulder the whole time going “Mine, mine, mine, mine” 😂
Came here for Lucanis, left realizing Viago and Illario are also complete smokeshows.
As an Antivan Crow, you aren't necessarily related to Viago, just that you're in his House and everyone adopts the name. But he's still very much your boss and i cannot wait to meet him❤❤❤❤❤
I was wondering if that was how it worked. If the house you get adopted by you just take their name. Thanks for clarifying that.
Thank you!! Teach me all the crow lore!! I crave it!!
I got a kitten a couple days that i named Lucanis. 😅
Total side note but is anyone else getting Mass Effect vibes from the background music? Gods I’m loving all that I see about this game!
YES!! I got those vibes too!!
crow rook definitely isn’t related to viago, just from the same house as him (de riva). he’s basically crow rook’s boss since he’s the talon of the same house.
Already fell in love with Lucanis from Tevinter Nights and the companions reveal in June. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH for more Lucanis conent
side note, i want lucanis AND spite. their interactions, history, interactions for romance specific routes. I CAN'T WAIT
1000% his cousin is the one that betrayed Lucanis and the Crows sold him out as hes jealous and hopes to be First Talon after his grandmother dies
and it was rather sussy to leave as they went into the boat he totally told the Zara what was happening and that they knew Lucanis was still alive
too much didnt add up cant wait to play and see if I am right
know that you say that!
I already love him! 100% going to be my first romance, too.
All I can think of is how Viago talks about Teia in Tevinter Nights. They're so cute. 😍
LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! Thank you thank you thank you!! I’m also a sucker for all things Antivan since the Zevran days. Wonderful that we finally get to finally visit Antiva. Lucanis definitely #1 romance as soon as Oct 31st hits lol
While Lucanis may not be my cup of tea, that qunari Rook sure makes me hopeful for what I can do in the CC! The facial hair looks amazing. So hype!
Okay, I’m absolutely gonna romance Lucanis as a shadow dragon mage the first go round, but then i wanna be a crow the second time. Just to pretend Viago is my cousin

Happy for those who like them though.
You could choose the more stand-offish dialogue options for them?
@@unifadewalker That’s the lower aggressive ones right?
If that is how they go, then I’m glad! Thank you!
Also hope we see Josephine in Veilguard!
did neve just flirt with lucanis at 10:32 ? LOL neve is so real, i wouldn't be able to stop myself from flirting with him either
He 100% flirted with Lucanis 😂

Hot Wings Lucanis!!!! Thank you sooooooo much for this vid. 🔥
Aw hes broody. I have a soft spot for broody. I literally have no idea who im going to romance because everyone is so beautiful 😍
I already want to hug them all so much! I'm still torn between Lucanis and Emmrich for my first romance, but this has me leaning towards Lucanis...if only we could just have a giant polycule

My people!!
@unifadewalker ah yeah the "give me a crumb of Antivan lore" people. We are the best people 🤣

I'm sure there was a good reason behind why we the player can see Spite, my guess it has to do with why Spite can just put himself in the driver's seat, but think of the emotional turmoil!
I don't know how I can choose between Emmerich and Lucanis!
18 minutes!! 🤩 Thank yooou 💜✨️
Half expected Teia to just yell out ¡Apagando las luces! at some point
(i love her)
I'm romancing the hell out of this man.

Well that just confirms it, I'm romancing Lucanis first.
Omg we meet the de riva crow’s talon! I wonder what the crow background will unlock there?! And damn seeing Lucanis in action 😏
They mention it if you’re a crow ^^ Lucanis knows your house
@@unifadewalker oh the angst him and my Rook will have I can’t wait😤
He and Teia both have unique dialogue to a De Riva Rook, One that I think will have people absolutely squealing over.
I love this companion spotlight videos. They'll keep me sane until Halloween.
"I'm so feral, I'm so excited"
You just like me fr😌
We can fix him lol! 😂
Very minor nitpick, LOVE Lucanis and I’m so excited to make a Rook for him, but do we know if there’s much time between meeting Lucanis and the scene by the fireplace? That’s a hell of a flirt line for a guy we just met if they’re one after the other!
i've been hoping to see viago and teia in the game since their appearance in tevinter nights and now they're finally here 😭
"It's complicated."
OMG STAHP LUCANIS ! I WOULD DIE FOR YOUUUUUUUU~
............... **slaps himself**
I'm so gay it hurts.
Oh definitely romancing him first. I do love me a good Antivan crow 🤭 but also because I want my firsk rook to be a crow as well so I think this could be fun. I am so excited to explore Treviso and the whole game tbh haha. Second playthrough will be Neve romance. I just love her so much too
Your excitement is infectous! Im so incredibly hyped now for the game and ofc Lucanis!
why are all you ocs so pretty, gods DAMN!
I’m sorry, but I can’t. That head to body proportion makes him look funny, I can’t take him seriously 😭😭
ahh thank you! glad to see more of the boy! im excited for him and spite too omg

It seems like will be able to only set our world state of Inquisition, so I don't think we will see him.
He is wanted by the crows, so I highly doubt it. It wouldn't make much sense.

Finally a man to make me drool more than zeveran
I'm romancing him second because the first Rook I want to play with is someone more suited for Davrin. But I cannot wait! And I cannot believe we're already talking about first and second playthroughs... this is real, guys!

"De Rivia" just means "of/from Rivia"
I dont think it's necessarily a familial name in a traditional sense. It might be like "Snow" or "Sand" in GoT.
No, the Crows are divided into Houses. The main houses leaders are Talons or head of houses basically. Viago is the 5th Talon (out of 8 with the 1st being the most powerful) and the Head of House De Riva. Some Houses are made of blood related members but most are not I don't think since Crows often purchase slaves in groups from childhood with only a few surviving the harsh lifestyle, often being encouraged to kill each other. As far as I can tell, if someone is skilled enough they can be adopted into a House. So there is likely no blood relation to Viago. He's just basically the Antivan Crow Rook's Boss.
I am loving these little appreciation videos, but...all describtions given so far were exact description devs had used for older characters (Dorian's for Emmrich, now Zevran's for Lucanis'), is that intentional? Are you trying to tell us something?
I've been obessing over that detail...
Honestly I have no idea who I'm romancing first because there is genuinely not a character I can put at the bottom of the list 😭
Lucanis seems amazing, I am buzzing to see my Rook interacting with him too!
Just came here from your Emmrich video, thanks so much for doing these character spotlights!
I have no idea who I'm going to romance, if anyone, on my first Rook. It really depends on how my OC develops through playing the game. The ONLY thing(s) I can pin down with certainty are first name, class, & faction. From there, I let my OC develop organically.
Is what a sweater under his uniform (cloak or whatever)? Aw, isn't he a granny's sweetie pie?
Me: I’m not going to watch any spoiler stuff.
Also me: WATCHES ALL OF THIS VIDEO LIKE 😍😍😍
Oops.
It is no more coincidence I have just decided to romance this man first, and the need to protect him is strong already 😍😍😍
SPITE WHEN I CATCH YOU 🏃♀️
I definitely will be romancing Lucanis he is just ooff. So fine. ❤
