Bring Back Manfred vs Become a Lich (Immortal) ALL CHOICES - Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[@snakerivercowboy]

i wish bringing back Manfred had more on Emmrich conquering his fear of death. helping him become a lich just seems so… extreme. and he still fears death as a lich, just not his own. he’s afraid of others dying and now he’s gonna have to experience an eternity of that which is absolutely tragic.

[@BBS-dl1lt]

I mean I think the saving manfred ending helped him conquer his fear of death by seeing how his legacy will live on through Manfred. Conversely I think the lichdom ending taught him to accept the passing of others, starting with Manfred. He even says he will be ready to accept outliving Rook and will carry the memory of Rook on forever. Though I think the Lich ending is supposed to be the “bad” option. Similar to iron bull choosing the Qun over his team. Power of friendship and love is more important and all that.

When Manfred said, "Magic! Like you!" I fully cried, I love Manfred and could never sacrifice him.

[@DarkKing009]

Liches are cool in every fantasy universe. Dragon Age has an interesting interpretation of necromancy as a whole. Necromancy is always presented as scary but not evil magic.

[@Iulian111]

They made the liches lame.

"You look so happy". I think a skull face is always smiling.

[@SansTheMajin]

His lich form looks awesome And manfred is so adorable

[@yuhanma6205]

Fred is the best companion in the game.

[@ravingPyrotechnician]

I fucking love Manfred.

[@bladerj]

we dont even know what a revenant is (DAO/DA2), and now we are helping a guy become a lich lmao these writers man

[@TheAns51]

Yeah we do. Revenants are undead possessed by powerful demons, like desire or pride demon. It's in DA:O codexes.

[@BBS-dl1lt]

@@TheAns51it’s always the people who don’t read the codexes and lore entries that complain the loudest about this stuff lmao.

[@scarfaceReaper]

@@BBS-dl1lt 100% true and its becoming annoying and just stupid

[@BuddhaJames08]

@@BBS-dl1lt This. It is very easy to complain about writers when you don't read.

[@discrot8568]

Damn, @@BuddhaJames08, that insult was so good I wouldn't dare show my face in public for 3 days if someone accurately flung that at me.

[@OuiGodApollo23]

I thought Necromancy involved Death Spirits. I must get this game so I can understand the lore of necromancy even further, I’m curious about Lichdom. And how it works.

[@nexgensoldier1915]

Love your rook, very knightly

[@TheSilverOrn]

So there is like an entire city of liches that are mega super mages, and they have all these spirits of the fade and death that are intelligent and protective, and there are guardian spirits that can just appear and disappear, and none of that actually matters in the plot of the game besides this comparatively small side quest? Like why can't we have an army of liches showing up to cast crazy necromancy at the dragons and etc?

[@DarkKing009]

I do not like the background music on Lich reveal. It makes it sound far too cartoon and whimsical for my liking.

[@pozytywnawibracja17]

Manfred cool but Being a skeleton, A lich the ability to speak to dead I will take that

[@ThePariahDark]

The tone of this scene is so weird... what is this, a Marvel movie? The fight i mean at the start. Actually the tone of a lot of scenes are weird...

[@ryanhernandez5632]

Brah. Literally 3 games worth of lore destroyed by this.

[@kittyphonk08]

how?

[@mnorbert4188]

Just admit you never actually played the previous games and move on

[@ryanhernandez5632]

@mnorbert4188 platinumed all 3 even own the books/comics. Also 3 games worth of lore would have anyform of undead, abominations killed/destroyed regardless of alignment. Not just blood magic ether all. The only exceptions being necromancers becuase their practices are for combat of the dead in most cases. Most common in the necropolus. Them making litchs and undead servants(willing or not) a thing destroys the collective lore established before this current installment

[@pablorosales9274]

I will never play this stupid game, but I love u manfred

[@theodorik-eu7mm]

Reddit dialogue.

[@acreon547]

What is this cartoon level writing? in the past necromancy was pure evil and something that nobody should tolerate now its all green light magic and we actively help a necromancer.

[@DarkKing009]

Throughout the Dragon Age series, necromancy was never presented as evil that's the difference between necromancy and blood magic. The necromancy is only presented as scary or unsettling. The educated population could tell the difference between Necromancer and blood magic.

[@julial8314]

DA has never lit necromancy as a whole as evil. Blood magic, on the other hand…

[@Siureivax]

Stop pretending like you played past Dragon Age game tourist

[@bloodfire1989]

You can tell when someone isn't actually a fan of the dragon age series and just parroting vitriol they've heard on the internet. It's actually been an important point in the other games that they talk about Necromancy not being an evil school of magic.

[@ioanzatui]

Awkward, Dragon Age has never made Necromancy seem evil - an entire culture even uses necromancy as a way to maintain their honored dead (Nevarra and their Grand Necropolis). If you didn't play ANY of the Dragon Age games, just say that next time.
