What did you do today in Dragon Age The Veilguard [Spoilers]

I also do continue to note...well I'm not entirely certain how she feels about Solas as a character overall but she does not certainly like him as a person. So she is playing her Rook a little bit more aggressively then Oliver was against him. SO this has already led to different dialogue. Sometimes I feel like when it comes to reactivity I am giving this game too much credit and gaslighting myself...but again I still really like what we are getting and he directly references the different conversation beats.

Also had a devil of a time conversating about Varric. I actually did not mention one of these theories to her because she is already predisposed enough to dislike Solas, and already made the comment that she was going to kill him after mentioning the first theory...but asked if this Varric is really 'him' and once more one of those fascinating DA dillemas on spirits because I don't think based on what we know the game offers a clear answer...but I got it down to one of three possibilities.

1. That Solas used blood magic to trick Rook into seeing him but then Rook's mind mostly filled in the blanks as to what Varric would actually say. This is possible.

2. That Solas is speaking through Varric to 'guide' them. While this is the fan theory I have seen *the most* so far and well it does make sense sometimes...it really also does not. Because Varric in this is being pretty conceilatory and actually helping lift Rook's spirits, if Solas was trying to guide Rook, and specifically guide them to beign more prepared for taking his place in the prison...wouldn't Varric be a little less...well Varric? I do like this idea because it would actually justify Varric's role in the game but I also don't buy it.

Or 3. The Fade/ Lighthouse is effectively amplyfying Solas's magic, that he did trick Rook's brain into thinking Varric is alive but then since Rook's brain believes it a spirit/ maybe even Varric's spirit itself picked up on it...since the distinction is becoming less and less clear all the time within the Dragon Age setting.

Main lore question tonight how do I go about explaining the difference between Lucanis being a not abomination like Zara referenced a lot of the Order of Fiery Promise. It also does not help per se that I am going out of my way to not read the codex this time. Other then maybe trying out a couple of things I didn't do in the first playthrough like do the secret ending steps, I heard you actually get voices on each one so that might be worth hearing...heard that could offer some additional controversey.

But back to the matter at hand. Just Zara was operating on the Order of Fiery Promise notes and what they were doing with the prisoners to manifest demons and build an army. Only difference is that was working slightly different to what we...nah I realized it actually does seem to match up never mind. But still, how do you explain not possession/ abominations versus possession and abominations?

Yeah I love Minrathous but unless I'm playing a Shadow or a very pragmatic character, Treviso is the much better pick for the overall experience.

I picked Minrathous a 2nd time cause I'm from there but blighted Treviso is just so....

Sorry Neve.
