#datv pre-release

lucanis: so are we heading out or not

rook: yeah just hold on a second

Rook: why do you have an ability called Abominate Lucanis: How about we stop talking for a little while.

please....... it's august 7 already........

it was developed during COVID

it's coming out when reactionaries are obsessed (again) w "wokeness" in games so the scrutiny is ridiculous

there's a VA strike so VAs can't talk about it at all

gameinformer closed immediately after a month of exclusive coverage and the interviews are not public anymore

it came out after bg3 and now people will compare both

and overall the fact that it's been 10 years bc the more time it goes by, the more ppl expect

As I said on this post, GameInformer suddenly shut down and all of their articles, including the DATV ones, are inaccessible. Thankfully people saved captures on The Wayback Machine (you can see them here), so we didn't lose them!

But even so, in order to have another backup, and perhaps for more comfort, I decided to save all of the articles to Google Drive in text format, along with their pictures. I didn't edit anything, and tried to imitate the format of the articles. Feel free to download them!

New fun facts about Bellara!

She has ADHD (or at least is heavily inspired by it.)

Her vallaslin is Dirthamen's, the god of knowledge (i guessed this one right in the first meta/theory post i ever made :])

Bellara believes there has to be a guide to romance someone. She's awkward and unsure about romance. She's had experience, but she's never been in one that feels as real as the one with Rook.
