Emmrich Volkarin - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

I love Myrna, too. Apparently she's going to appear in the game. Hope Audric as well!

The Mourn Watch have such a great vibe I wasn't expecting. I'm happy they're 'against type' necromancers: compassionate and brave, without their 'morbid' intellectual curiosity being of the psychotic kind. The Mortalitasi  is one part of the setting I wasn't that into before. I just didn't get how it jibed with the metaphysics of spirits and The Fade that we knew. But NOW I get it and I love it.

Or a (un)life coach, only with a lot less scamming, Instagram motivational quotes and condescension.

Actually, it's Bone Daddy, but thanks for playing. 

Ghil Dirthalen romanced Emmrich and It sounds like all you Emmromancers hit the jackpot .

People only want one thing and it's praise from Emmrich after a battle.

I found the accent thing a bit odd too - I like Emmrich's VA (and funnily enough, his German voice sounds almost exactly like his English voice) but I guess they kind of handwaved it when they got to Nevarra.

Perhaps they wanted to avoid the ‘Mad German Scientist’ trope? I’m not sure, but yes I’d have liked him to have an accent closer to Cassandra’s as well although I seem to remember her VO saying she ‘made up’ Cassandra’s accent?

As far as his personality, he’s an absolute delight and I’m so glad most people seem to think so. He’s such a calming, measured presence to a team that spans ‘sugary-sweet to angsty-and-angry’. His interactions with Bellara are so cute.

Regarding the big choice in his quest

He’s literally the best. Also, I ship Johanna with BG3’s Balthazar. They would have loved to meet each other. Star-crossed lovers.

Emmrich is my favourite character in Veilguard which has come as a real surprise for me. I was indifferent to him when he was first revealed in the character reveal trailer but his personality and charm has won me over and made me do a complete 180. 

It's a breath of fresh air that we have a necromancer in a RPG who is not a stereotypical twirly moustache evil character and just raises the dead to cause chaos. He's an interesting character for me because he provides a different and new insight on how Nevarra treat the dead. His personal quest about his own mortality was approached in a mature and thought provoking way (I can see positives and negatives for encouraging him to choose aspiration or friendship)

Found today while playing that if you don't romance Emmrich...
