Extremely funny to me how many of Davrins companion quests are some variation of “do you want to go take a walk” yes king I absolutely do thank you I love you

Thinking about how lacking in any sort of actual religious practice Veilguard has going on. Bellara saying "those are our gods" like a million times and everyone else in the entire game being like a Christmas and Easter Andrastian aren't really anything. There's not even like chantry sisters or brothers hanging out at the chantry in minrathous or Treviso. All chantries in the game are devoid of religious folk and are taken over by blood mages. And it doesn't want to have a chat about that.

it kind of feels like the equivalent of thor: love and thunder where the entire premise is centered around questioning divinity and your relationship to it and who should/shouldn’t have access to it. and yet it has no interest in it at all! like, rook and christian bale killers are functionally the same in their quest to become godkillers—both literally, and in the sense of faith deconstruction (the whole the gods are ancient elves/spirits/so on bit)— and in a world so deeply committed to the idea of faith this theme is reduced to barely more than a gimmick. a heroes journey whose story ends at the credits rather than have real lasting consequences on the world around them. why should we care about the stakes da:tv raises when the game itself doesn’t seem to?

The occupation just killed him too
