"The Veilguard remains vigilant"

I kinda want to replay my Trevelyan.... But I still haven't finished replaying my Lavellan..... And I'm replaying Veilguard.... And I have playthroughs of Origins and 2 that I haven't touched in months..... And I'm replaying at least 2 other games......

Guess what I did.....

Perhaps this is an obnoxious take on my part, but video games should, above all things, prioritize the ability of being paused. At any point. Regardless of whether it's during a cutscene, a special animation, or a time-based puzzle. You never know when you're gonna get a phone call, or someone will need you in another room, or you get a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, or you hear your cat licking plastic, or whatever. Other entertainment mediums like books, movies, and music can be paused whenever you want. Why do some games not give you the same luxury??

Dragon Age: Veilguard gets ragged on a lot, but one of the great things about it is that you can pause it at any point. It is genuinely a huge quality of life feature.

i love mass effect and dragon age so so much but i fucking hate EA

and while i’m here. sera. dai is SO MEAN to sera. she makes literally perfect sense. she’s perfectly clear. and we can only be mean to her or tell her she doesn’t make sense or mock her and her friends if red jenny. like how can you not see how that’s insanely useful? sure we got leliana’s spies. great. love spies. but having regular ass people tell you whose good and whose bad? i trust them. i don’t want the option to kick her out if i can’t have to option to kick everyone else out. why do we gotta act like she’s insane when she’s just my fave working class princess
