Still slowly trudging along through Dragon Age: Veilguard, and the more I play it the more of a mixed bag it becomes. It's probably the most mid game I've played since FFXVI, there are some aspects I like and other I really don't like.
[Mini Companion Rant (Minor spoilers? I have only finished Act 1)] Davrin and Emmerich are the only two companions I really enjoy, I pivoted from Neve to Davrin as my romance option and don't regret it one bit. I love Davrin's "serious but loving dog dad" vibe and the campy yet sophisticated nature of the mourn watchers are great.
My least two favorite companions are Lucanis and Taash. Lucanis is probably the biggest let down for me I thought there was gonna be more meat to his character especially relating to Spite but so far but all he does is talk about coffee and I'm sick of it. And for Taash I don't like how they talk like a modern teen when who gets annoyed easily, I'm pretty sure they're suppose to be an adult at this point. It just gets tiring after a while.
Bellara, Harding, and Neve are all mid for me and they don't really stand out much to me except for maybe Bellara whose story is the most interesting out of the three so far.
I have pretty much the exact same thoughts on companions. I would include Harding in my faves but idk if that's just because I love DA dwarf lore a whole lot. At first I was bummed that I didn't adore everyone but I also remembered that it probably took me a few playthroughs at least to really get to know characters from the previous games, as well as the fact that I don't actually love all the old companions either! Inquisition is the exception to the rule but I definitely avoid bringing people in my party in DAO and DA2 sometimes so... I hope I can grow to love them more as time goes on.
I like these companions more than Inquisition, but really the standouts have been Davrin and Emmrich, too. I also thought Lucanis would be more of a “meaty” character but :|
I’m so with you on Lucanis and Taash. It’s extra frustrating cause I did love Taash’s companion quest and their journey itself is well written but THEY are annoying me so much. Saying crap this, crap that, they act like a teenager and it’s not the vibe I want to hang around.
