This video has made me glad I ordered this thing. I was feeling guilty for spending the money. But while I still don't know if I can call it a "good value" per se, this made me happy with what I see. If nothing else, it will all help commemorate this bizarre, angst-filled, 10-year-journey we've all been on together, and that alone feels significant to me. I'm thinking of pinning the map up somewhere and finding some kind of decorative loop or something to hold the quiver with on one side, and the dagger on the other. Haven't worked out the details yet but it will be a fun little project I think.
This is like me watching the retrospective bits in competition shows and going “yep, they lose today - look, their eyes are puffy, they lost” But here it makes me sad
For the potion bottle, you should look up the real world torpedo bottles. They were used for carbonated drinks and designed so that they couldn't stand up, this meant that liquid would always be touching the cork creating a seal and making it so the carbon dioxide couldn't escape!
I want you to know that your thorough unboxing and unmitigated joy has led me to rethink being a bummer and just buy this damn thing. I have a new job that I adore and can afford it, but had cancelled my order as a result of anxiety and doomscrolling. But your joy feels familiar to what I feel at my best, and aspire to at my worst. You seem cool, and im glad youre glad! And I want to be glad too! Alsoooo, that dagger is too cool and in-line with my aesthetic preferences to resist. And ngl, learning the little bottle was actually glass a huge relief and selling point 😅
the class cards have white weapon so the card below the gray warden one in 50:10 seems to be the mage card - the mage staff is while similar to the sword for warrior and the rapier and bow for rogue
That quiver is the same as Rogue Rook’s starting quiver. For the flask: I put colored sand in it and set it on a wall-mounted candle holder. Kind of like a miniature basketball hoop, and the flask settles nicely in it! For the dice: I put it with my crystal collection. When I feel anxious or stressed, I can roll it around in my hands for tactile comfort!
As someone who loves displaying all kinds of maps in my home, my suggestion for what to do with the Theda’s map is getting some foam board from Michael’s, pinning or stapling the edges of the map down and framing it.😊
@@ShoppingAttic Several ways. The simplest but less “professional” looking way is just to use tape (I use double sided tape for extra security) and a mat for picture frames. Put the display piece face down on the mat and secure it. The double sided take will allow it to hold to the mat and the back of the frame but if you don’t tape it in enough spots it can look a bit drap-y and not as flat all around. The other option is to get some foam board and cut it to slight smaller than the thing you are framing. Fold the edges of the display piece over the board and secure it with tape as needed. You lose some of the edges to display this way but it can make the piece look much nicer all around. Hope this helped!
so that material inside the quiver is felt, fake leather is often called pleather, and the quiver is meant to hold your cloth map (thats why the bottom is flat: so you can set it on a shelf)
thank you for the unboxing vid! I suspected the cards wouldn’t reach the quality of the Inquisition tarot deck, and this footage confirms my hunch. Glad a chose to skip this bundle 😅
I remember back in the day when we'd get collector's editions of games with as much stuff in it as in this coffer, plus it often had a statue, AND it included the game, and it was less than the $150USD that this is. I do miss those days. Still, this stuff is super cool.
damn it i was avoiding spoilers so well! your reaction to Varric on the box and then seeing the quote on the inside. he's gonna die i just know it. DAMN IT!
Haha I also am easily amused very excited for this game and love the energy very happy to be a long time watcher and experiencing this with anyone else who loves the franchise as much as I do ❤❤
I'm expecting to receive my coffer in a couple days hopefully. At leat's tommorow we will have at our hands the World of Thedas and we will be The Veilguard!!!! ❤
Girl, did you not notice that all the race cards have the male and female race individuals holding some kind of white weapon or tool...which means the two that you think are cards for rogue and warrior are actually for male and female human. This makes sense cause their backgrounds connect like the ones for the other races. The one you think is a male human card holding a flag is probably some other faction or difficulty card.
For hanging the dagger, maybe a hook, and hanging the hoop at the hilt from that? If you can't put a hook in the wall, a command hook would probably work. You might need a bit of string around the loop to hang it from in that case, though.
omg Catie you have BPA poisoning now 🤣🤣🤣 As for the cloth map, I would use it as a keyboard place mat or something like that around my gaming stuff. you could also totally just hang it on your wall
lol on using the quiver as a beer cozy. I think since you said it’s maybe for crossbow bolts that it’s supposed to be varrics quiver? That would make a certain amount of sense. And varric would approve of using his quiver as a beer cozy.
Wow so cool, can't wait till I get mine that I ordered!! Also, I am totally with u on the cards thing. It's messing with my OCD lol there shud b a mage card and a female human card lol
I got mine today. I did like the initial box it was shipped in because it looked like it was going to be 100% but opening it up and getting to the actual dragon age box, it looks like it was dropped on the corner and so the entire top layer that holds the dagger just shattered. Sucks considering I had to pay an extra $20 delivery fee.
I want to play this game on release soo bad but I still have two more inquisition playthroughs(I know the only four choices manner in the whole series but I committed way before that information was out and so I’m seeing it through) to get through before I have three characters I’d want to play in veilguard
CAITIE NOOO, THAT'S NOT SAFE caitie ghildirthalen intoxicated, not leading by example the card thing it's upsetting me too, and why not use them in game?
i do think the race/gender cards aren't complete because of they switched to having more flexible gender options and decided not to pay for the rest of the set to be completed, i do think having three options would have been awesome but would have cost them more probably

This was uploaded earlier today, however the last 15 minutes was cut off due to an exporting error. So this is the full version!
Hi Katie!!! Love the content, been following for a long time. I want to use the Ghil code, is there a way to use it for consoles?
Good work with all you've done good hunting🐉🙌🏿
@@AislingESullivan It's just on the EA App, I believe. Could be wrong.
@@AislingESullivan That's very sweet, thank you! Sadly, no, its just for the ea app version of the game :(
@@GhilDirthalen & @flukasmcdoogle thank you!!! That’s a bummer.
It's weird seeing that you are a corrporial being and not just a disembodied voice the talks Dragon Age lore
And here I thought she was a spirit of wisdom whispering in my head
Put some fake flowers in the quiver!
Shame there’s no way to make fake flowers look like DA herbology flowers. You could store some elfroot, a little Crystal Grace, etc.
"That's a good noise!" I'm gonna be saying that over and over again for a few days. Your excitement is infectious!
Your laughter and excitement is so infectious! I’m watching this with such a huge grin on my face, I’m so happy

What was the reason for that “aw Varric”?🤨 oh lord……..
This is like me watching the retrospective bits in competition shows and going “yep, they lose today - look, their eyes are puffy, they lost”
But here it makes me sad
I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS!! No no no no no!
WELP looks like my Veilguard snack stash is going to need stronger drinks. And tissues 😢
I mean, the intro is out there....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET IT NOT BE TRUE 😭😭😭
5:15 Girl what do you mean "Oh, Varric..."??? 😭😭😭 GHIL???
Don't worry I'm sure she just means she feels bad for him because of Bianca
You know what she meant ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
For the potion bottle, you should look up the real world torpedo bottles. They were used for carbonated drinks and designed so that they couldn't stand up, this meant that liquid would always be touching the cork creating a seal and making it so the carbon dioxide couldn't escape!
As a bubbly drink fiend, I thank you for illuminating that we could've lived in a universe that respected our holiest of holies: carbonation.
Girl i love your videos and im so happy youre happy and have a good life. You seem like such a sweet person. You deserve the best ❤
honestly such a cool shadowbox or display case item, they did good with this one

Maybe it was repurposed, but that one is in game and used for the Shadow Dragons!

Aahhhhh CAitie I love your sincerity 'cause it always comes off as genuine and heartfelt!
My cat really enjoyed watching this video 😂. He is so entranced by your hand movements
I would put water gel or beads in the potion bottle and put it in a shadow box of some kind to display it.

You could hang the potion flask on your Christmas tree if you do Christmas things.
45:51 - Oooooooh, are THOSE the “race cards” I keep hearing so much about from certain people on Twitter who seem to be allergic to grass?

Now hold the illuminated dagger above your head and yell " I HAVE THE POWER !!! "
such cool stuff and a very cool video, thanks for sharing!
LMAOOO the unhinged beer koozy
This looks so good, now aI want one! Thank you so much for your review!!
damn it i was avoiding spoilers so well! your reaction to Varric on the box and then seeing the quote on the inside. he's gonna die i just know it. DAMN IT!
I had the exact thought of the quiver as a cozy, so glad you did too 🤣

this is definitely the answer.
but the backgrounds don't fit together like does for the other races

I think the quiver might be more for the cosplayers? 🙂 The dagger is beautiful though!
omg Catie you have BPA poisoning now 🤣🤣🤣 As for the cloth map, I would use it as a keyboard place mat or something like that around my gaming stuff. you could also totally just hang it on your wall
I also didn't know what to do with my quiver so now its just holding my knitting needles 😆

I think it's actually to hold the map lol on the website they're shown together and if the poster was rolled looks like it'd fit right in!
Thank you for sharing, I unfortunately am not able to get it. Everything looks cool .
i'm so excited to play as John dragonage, and tear down the Vail guard!
Im excited to unbox mine when it arrives, so cool!
Wow so cool, can't wait till I get mine that I ordered!!
Also, I am totally with u on the cards thing. It's messing with my OCD lol there shud b a mage card and a female human card lol
There's a paper map in Tevinter Nights but I do really want that cloth map.
I wish I could get that die seperately, I couldnuse this to determine the tone npc's talk to my players when I DM our DnD games
I’ll use the cloth map to wipe my tears when this game inevitably gives me too many feelings
Use a beer horn in the quiver!!! Iron bull approved ❤
I wish the dice was standalone so we can do a dice-playthrough of veilguard :) that could be fun, but any D12 can do probably

You might try using a 3m hook for hanging the dagger. There are some really nice ones.
I want to get this so bad but with shipping it comes to almost 250$ Canadian 😭 im so tempted
Yay the whole video! 😂
I’m getting mine later today!! 🥰
OOOOOOO I can't wait for mine to get here!!!
now with the light up dagger i was imagining rook getting one and its from shien or temu and has that stupid song with a rainbow pulse
Ignoring the “awww Varric” comment…does the potion flask fit in the quiver?
Nice haul!
5:13 I mean Lucarnis does look a bit like tv show Lucifer now that you mention it 😂
Me looking at your mouse pad and me looking at mine.. TWINS
Bad joke: What the rest says is 'Made of Nitroglycerin please do not shake.' Okay that is out of the way it does look nice.
Does the glass potion flask sit on top of the quiver?
31:00 I'll be using the dice to solve the 'where should we eat' problem
CAITIE NOOO, THAT'S NOT SAFE
caitie ghildirthalen intoxicated, not leading by example
the card thing it's upsetting me too, and why not use them in game?
i do think the race/gender cards aren't complete because of they switched to having more flexible gender options and decided not to pay for the rest of the set to be completed, i do think having three options would have been awesome but would have cost them more probably
Put popcorn in the quiver!
the bottle fits nicely in the quiver…fyi
Does the potion bottle fit in the quiver?
Let’s go new video 🔥🔥🔥
Assume the dagger is plastic. Pretty cool but not sure it’s worth $150
so tarot cards are actually typically the size of a normal deck, that material inside the quiver is felt, fake leather is often called pleather, and the quiver is meant to hold your cloth map (thats why the bottom is flat: so you can set it on a shelf)
if you look at the cards in the promotional image they do have some cards you don't.
Wasn't there another potion thng in there as well?
Hey, I also have very short fingernails, because I play the piano ;)
yo! you needed to boiled it first to kill bacteria before drinking! xD
Oh i want one now😂
Mmm glue
use the Map to clean the screen for your computer :D
Nothing wrong with the color purple.
45:49 typical Ghil, pulling the race card 🙄
That merchandise looks like it was designed for 8-12 year olds?
Like the game itself…
PS. Oh gods that price!
No one is going to pay hard earned for that kind of plastic tat!😵💫
if only the game was going to be as good as the box? R.I.P Dragon age. you were a great series while you lasted. even the movie was good. :(
