ok so another thought thatβs been running laps in my brain for a couple weeksβ¦ when Rook is talking to Varric during the game is it a varric that is based on memory or is it solasβs advice and manipulation dressed up as varric? π€

These are my guesses for which Hat represents which Evanuris
We of course have Ghilan'nain and Elgar'Nan confirmed since we can see them and their big hats in game, I haven't finished the game yet so I don't know if any of these are confirmed or not - these are just my guesses
On the right ->
Shield Hat - Andruil, the warrior/hunter so a shield makes sense, married to Ghilan'nain and shield Hat is close to Ghilly in the above image
Sun Hat - Sylaise, hearth goddess and it can't be her Dad because he's Big Round Hat. Her vallaslin in origins is also firey so this fits
Jester Hat - June, Sylaise's husband so close to her? Also, he's the god of craft and the jester Hat Evanuris appears in the same mural as when the Evanuris murder mythal to reclaim the blight, and it seems like you'd want your god of craft around if you're building new horrible blight weapons
On the left ->
Elgar'Nan is big round hat in the center, obv
Then I have already speculated in another post that Fork Hat is Dirthamen
I think the other one is Falon'Din primarily because I imagine Dirthamen's twin soul would be close to him, and also the lore puts Falon'Din and Dirthamen as Mythal and Elgar'Nans first children, so makes sense they'd be close to Elgar'Nan
hey have we thought yet about how basically a good chunk of Rook's backgrounds is pretty much "baby found where it shouldn't have been adopted/enslaved by who found them" and elgar'nan's "tragedy etched unto your bones, sorrow child" to Rook. have we thought about how spirits seem to like and be attracted to Rook. have we. are we gonna ignore that.
Veilguard endgame spoilers under the cut.
potentially major spoilers under cut. I've only played until just after weisshaupt
Hey um. Is Varric dead? During that cutscene at the table after the siege everyone's sitting down but him, and if anybody should be seated you'd think it'd be the dwarf with a busted leg and a stab wound. Also when he talks no one but rook seems to acknowledge him, and taash's next sentence was crafted so that it fit with or without his input.
Stuff like this has been happening since we got to the lighthouse, and in the early days we were getting comments like 'and look what happened to varric'.
If he is dead, what exactly is the state of his whole situation.....metaphysically? In terms of the lore? Don't they burn bodies everywhere but nevarra? Did we not have some sort of ceremony where we acknowledged he was dead? Was he left at the ritual site? Does he solely exist in rook's head? Has a spirit come in from the fade to puppet him because a heroic story needs a storyteller?

So, it's one day left and it's either going to be a disaster or relief, after 10 years of waiting. I'm more afraid of this game than excited so far.
Opinions are too different on choices, some people say you're decisions don't matter, some say decisions from act 1 are going to kick you in the ass in act 3 finale. I wonder what is true.
Rook seems to be more "Geralt of Rivia" type of character, rather than our HoF, Hawke and Inquisitor. Only they are either "straightforward" or "charming" with extra lines for a race and fraction. Which is fine, I think, as long as the plot decisions are consistent and matter.
And like what I see in terms of combat, especially with UI turned off.
Game is greatly optimized on PC, which is rare these days.
Still, there's luck of keep choices... disappointing. There's some previous decisions that are understandable why they don't matter anymore or in this particular game, but the other's...
Probably cringe writing for new players in the beginning. Understandable.
I'm worried about Morrigan and Dorian writing, since it's the new writer for them both.
And I'm conflicted on how Isabella looks like. I'm not going to complain about her face, because I've not seen her in hight resolution, but clothes are crime. If we aren't chillin on a beach and it's not some diving mission (like on concept art) and she's changing clothes latter - it is a disaster (I don't like Lords of Fortune design in general) tbh. Her multiplayer DAI model is her at her best.
It's also seems to be "End of era" game. I'm going to assume it's: Blights are over, Veil is finally not here anymore (a new disaster for the next game, since the world is reshaping itself once again), Mythal's vengeance is complete.
PS: I'm also, personally, disappointed, from what I've seen, that my character can't be mean (I don't mean evil, just mean). If it's not a cherry-picking.
That all marketing has focused on Ghilan'nain and we have seen literally nothing on Elgar'nan has me spooked. Ghilly's terrifying and delightful, but like, she's the youngest of the gods who was raised up after the fact. I assume Elgar'nan is all-father for a frigging reason! The conspicuous lack of marketing around him has me thinking he's probably a horror show of a magnitude we haven't considered yet and I cannot WAIT to see what they haven't been telling us.
I just had a thought before I go to sleep and wake up to a new review-filled world. A little spoilerly.
We know that when we view Solas' memories we as Rook are going to get to make some judgement calls about what happens/his reason for doing so (i.e. when he has to mercy kill his agent and Rook can either say "he won't help her" or "Solas, try a cure") and it sounds like our interpretation of him will colour what he's like to some extent β a la spirit adapting to your expectations.
What if when Solas and the Inquisitor reunite, we as Rook get to make judgement calls/suggestions to the Inquisitor about how their relationship with Solas will progress that function as the player making those choices in lieu of any nuance in the worldstate choices. Like we suggest they should kiss and make up and so they do, or we say the Inquisitor should help us try and take him down and so they do.
I don't know if I feel particularly good or bad about the idea because eepy but it did make me wonder...
