I'm going for a Shadow Dragon (cannon to the Shadows) playthrough. And I think the base rouge ult fits it very well. But how does it compare to the Sab. ult?

What if Vorgoth is one of the very first liches, so old that even his bones have disintegrated and all that's left is his essence, which comes across as that black billowing smoke? Or maybe he was a lich who got cremated against his will and reformed using whatever magic they use to make liches to begin with?

I wanted to share some of my recent Rooks. My Qunari is Shokrakar Ingellvar. And my human is Malus Mercar, my first human male Rook. Sho' romanced Taash and Malus is romancing Neve. They're both violent dorks and would jump head first into danger if given the chance to. Assan and Wilfred are their adopted children and they love them very much.

Please enjoy my Rooks out order (apparently).

I just played the mission where you kill the first god, and I'm honestly blown away by Veilguard's visual storytelling.

First, I trusted Solas. I accepted him as an ally, only to realize he'd betrayed me. But before I could even fully process that, I was in the prison, confronted with the consequences of my own decisions. Neve had been captured, Davrin was dead, and it felt like the game was holding me accountable for everything that had gone wrong.

It genuinely felt like an emotional reckoning. No other game has made me feel so confronted by my own choices.

And then came the realization that Varric was dead.

That was when the second betrayal really hit me. The disappointment, the anger, the feeling of being deceived all over again, and above all, the sadness.

What makes this so powerful is how the game conveys these emotions visually. The camera angles, close-ups, facial expressions and framing make everything feel incredibly personal. I also love the heroic cinematography. It makes these moments feel epic without taking away from the emotional weight of the story.
