GDL being the hero on Cameo, once again

My two hyperfixations in one post. GDL, you are truly my hero!

Gareth David-Lloyd Highlights

Fave VG ending – “My favourite is redeem. I’m going into the next game knowing everything possible, so I played Inquisition three times… and every single time, I was always friends with myself (Solas) or romanced. Last time I played it, I romanced Solas… so redeem Solas. Despite all his flaws and trickery, there’s a righteous, good soul in there somewhere, I think.”

His fave line – “I lay in dark and dreaming sleep…”

Inquisition got him back into gaming – it's his favourite DA game.

Upset he didn’t get to do mocap for VG. He went into the recording studio and had to watch a video of someone else doing Solas’ mocap and lines. They wanted him to do the lines in exactly the same way. For GDL, that wasn’t acting to him. Eventually they called him back in to record some lines the way he wanted – which meant they ended up having to redo the mocap to match his interpretation.

Fave character - Solas – “complex and such an asshole… is an anti-hero, anti-villain… so much fun playing those complex roles.”

Really enjoyed that a lot of Solas’ lines were written in verse.

Joseph Capp Highlights

This VG panel was the first time GDL and JC ever met.

Had a full bio sheet to learn about Elgar’nan.

Hasn’t played VG yet.

Fave line: “All the world will soon share the peace and comfort of my reign.”

This was Joseph’s first fan event.

Fave character is Lucanis, based on cutscenes (since he hasn’t played it).

Elven language – they gave him free rein on how to pronounce the elven words.

Binged on gaming – played Origins and Inquisition simultaneously. Also binged a few community content creators’ podcasts and videos.

A lot of Elgar’nan’s material were rewritten close to release, and he had to go back in to re-record lines.
