God Lucanis. You're lucky I like you. This was a torturous wait.

I don't know. Realistically, I can't see any dommy subby hurty stuff in the middle of a vulnerable moment (because sex with Rook is a vulnerability, it's being naked and on display, it's having more chances of Spite taking over) making him happy. At least not for a long while. He'd say yes if Rook asked, but agreeing to something vs being into it are different things.

Before it all, here's one of my coolest Lucanis (Spite) pictures yet. A shame the subtitles got in the way.

I really enjoyed this quest. Fighting a boss in a pool of blood was oddly epic, it was a pretty good setting for a fight. Especially if you play as a mage and imagine how tempting it must be for them to juuuustt use what's already so available, so ready, so much... better and faster.

Regardless. It's pretty obvious Illario is betraying the family and trying to pull some strings. The fact Zara called him "amatus" is proof enough.

However, that was my only qualm with this quest. I am playing a Tevinter elf. My elf speaks the language, he should know she was about to say "amatus", he should have had some dialogue about that. Oh well, one can just pretend he and Lucanis didn't quite get the word. It was an intense moment after all.

Anyway here's some piss poor pictures of the boss fight area plus some more Spite, Illario and Zara.

I don't mean this in the sense of "don't have a negative opinion", because we should all have our own tastes. I've been a dragon age fan since DA2, I am well versed in the art of shit talking dragon age while simultaneously defending it to hell and back. It's the DA relationship, if you will.

What I mean is that I think a lot of people (especially on the trailer youtube comments) were just... jumping in, doing the hate train because everyone else was on board with the destination set to shit talking. Without forming their own opinions. It is honestly a good representation of how media criticism has evolved.

Best comparison I could give would be the live action ATLA series. I disliked it from the trailers alone. But then, I waited for it to come out, watched it with friends, and now I openly talk about the countless bads while also mentioning the few goods it had. Because I form my own opinions, be they negative or positive.

I do think Veilguard won't fulfill me. I unfortunately became extremely passionate about DA2, and no other dragon age game has done it for me. Origins was nice, but maker Kirkwall has charm. I thought Inquisition was disappointing, but I also have no trouble singing its praises.

But from what we're seeing I am hopeful. Even if the game is trash, if the companions are well done and bring me back to my DA2 times when I replayed the game countless times and lost my mind laughing at Fenris and Anders' banter (I always brought them together everywhere, poor sods)... I'll be satisfied.
