Da Veilguard - Blog Posts
*Solas Thoughts*
So, in Inquisition, the combat AI had everyone, including Mages (traditionally glass cannons) running straight into the fight.
And somebody mentioned a headcannon about Solas, thinking about this system. Assuming you didn’t direct your characters individually, like chess pieces. Wondering if the reason Solas specifically did it, was because he was used to using a dagger and orb (the lyrium dagger and the foci orb), the way Mage!Rook can in DA: the Veilguard.
Would definitely fit, right? You never see him with a staff in the flashbacks and why would a staff-wielding Mage (presumably support/back rank, not vanguard) need to wear a full chest plate, pauldrons and gloves that protect his lower forearms/wrists. Not to mention, in a banter with Blackwall/Rainier in Inquisition, he mentions being “hot-blooded and cocky” as a youth. “Always ready to fight.”
Doesn’t seem like a support role to me and he’s the Dread Wolf. God of Trickery? Treachery?
Sounds an awful lot like a multi-class Rogue to me…
I know for a fact that David's face card never declines.
I'm continuing my series of Dragon Age the Veilguard companions as classical paintings, this time with Davrin as Anthony Van Dyck's Portrait of a Gentleman. Idk who I might do next, maybe Bellara or Neve

Say hi to Manfred! I made him as a birthday present to my dear friend @tiiracotta, who's a big Dragon Age fan.
I had a blast working all the little details on the 40cm tall skeleton base I got in a Halloween clearance sale. All the other materials came from my stash, including the eyes, which were originally part of my prop sword sheath for my cosplay of Kusuriuri from Mononoke. The ornaments have been falling off through the years, so I recently replaced a few, and it was by noticing how similar the green crystals are to Manfred's eyes that I had the idea to make the whole doll.
I've always loved puppets, dolls and miniatures, so I hope I can make more projects like this in the future!
I'm actually so excited for Dragon Age Veilguard, the game looks awesome all in all!! The companions all look super cool, and I honestly like the idea of only making companions romanceable- I feel like it keeps the game centered around your party if that makes sense. Gameplay also looks really cool, from what I've seen it looks kinda similar to BG3 but correct me if I'm wrong. I know I sound really repetitive but everything about this game honestly looks enjoyable, I know some people have had issues with lore stuff but I havent had a chance to dive into that yet, I'll update when I do!!
