October 1 DA Hot Take: Origins is *bland* and DA has only improved with each game. The graphics were dated when they came out, the gray/brown colors are unpleasant to play in, and combat is tedious. The fact that so many Origins players skip two massive sections demonstrates this tedium.

#DragonAge With only 1 month until release, DAV is easily my most hoped game. So, until it releases, I'm going to put out 1 hot take a day on the DA franchise. Feel free to agree, disagree, rant and rave as you see fit!

Ngl? My first rogue character in Veilguard is going to be my best version of Aloy. Likely romance Bellara, since Seyka isn't an option. Not sure whether to do Saboteur or Veil Ranger though!

I can see why so many people joined the Qun in Kirkwall now! 😈😈😈

I'm glad that you are safe, but disappointed in humanity that you're having to deal with this garbage. But, if you're pissing off bigots, it means you're doing the right things!

If the bigots are hating on you, you know you're doing good work! Don't lose heart!

How much are you allowed to slow from the lab/flashback sequence? I'd love to see how the whole scene plays out. Beyond that, I'd also be interested in seeing more gear and skill usages.

Sounds great! I might just do that myself... .... Halloween sounds like a good day for that!

I think I may create Aloy from Horizon: ZD in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, just to piss off the dudebros as much as humanly possible in one swoop...
