The RIPPLE effect | Odd spiders disappearance in The Veilguard

[@tj3603]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh dear, what fungi have you injested during that stream to conceive such idea and where can I get some? I might have six pack now from laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 But this is perfect, no notes, I fully subscribe to the conspiracy. Spiders always were bane of DA existance, they might as well be a reson for gameplay changes, why not? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@InconceivableOracle]

After encountering so many spiders in Inquisition, Dorian embarked on a mission to singlehandedly eradicate spiders in Tevinter during the 10ish years between games...solved

[@ImpGoose]

🤣🤣🤣 This video was for humorous purposes while we are waiting for the Veilguard. Glad to hear that it also improves physical shape! Dragon Age is a remedy for all kinds of fatigue and low mood situations hahaha This mushroom is called cinnamon buns btw. I don't eat much sugar, so when I do...magic happens. You know, they say that sugar has a stronger reaction that coke, and I don't mean a drink 🤣🤣🤣

Glad you enjoyed it! Also, it's a great way to wait for the Veilguard 🤣 I think DA community is the wildest when it comes to conspiracy theories

[@randyjax09]

Giant spiders have been such an overused trope in fantasy games (Skyrim, Dragon Age, The Witcher 3, LOTR games, Jedi: Fallen Order, Dragons Dogma, etc). It’s the laziest enemy variant for a developer to include in a game, so I’m honestly glad they’re not in DAV.

[@RandomWandrer]

Isnt it invious? The inquisitor's greatest fear is spiders. So the inquisition was used to eradicate them.

[@ImpGoose]

Holy inquisition against the worst demons in Thedas! 🔥🔥🔥🤣

[@amandaaughtry7256]

Can confirm, that was my inquisitor's top priority

[@ShirahimeLP]

They also make jewelry for their wives from the remains of the spiders, just like they did in Dragon Age 2. The guy from the bone mine moved his business to Tevinter after Anders blew up the church. Mystery about the spiders solved.

[@ImpGoose]

Awesome! We have spider tea, spider jewelry. Tevinter is something, isn't it? 🤣

[@ShirahimeLP]

@@ImpGoose Who knows what else we will discover in Tevinter. 🤣🤣

[@MicahLetsPlay]

One: I love watching you draw that beautiful fungi potion. 🥰 Two: I can totally get behind the narrative of no spiders in the game. (My inner lore nerd demands it) 🤓 Three: I am arachnophobic, so I'm actually very happy there are no spiders in this game. I dreaded fighting them in Inquisition. 😰 Great video, Goose. As you said. "You have solved it," #ThisIsTheWay🪿💚💜

[@ImpGoose]

Than you! You are so sweet 🥰❤️😘 Can't imagine how you played the previous games! Great to hear that you are happy about spiders' disappearance haha Let's hope that they didn't put something even scarier in the game. Idk...tax declarations 🤣🤣🤣

[@MicahLetsPlay]

@@ImpGoose OMG Tax Declarations! Now that, could be true nightmare fuel.🤣🤣🤣 Trust me Goose, It was very hard for me. Hogwarts Legacy was almost impossible. You're welcome my friend. 💚💜🦢

[@bayramaktas4135]

😅 I don't care about the spiders, I care more about the gameplay, story and animations.

[@SPSteve]

I think the reason there are no spiders is much simpler than what you're suggesting. Just like dark spawn now becoming undead and popping up out of the ground.

[@kalenics123]

Devs: "Well girls and non-binaries, I hate spiders and its another month of work to make spider animations so we just ignore them and sell it as a built-in arachnophobia mode. EZ PZ."

[@DualLifeGames]

An excellent spin on the spiders controversy! I'm not sure if BioWare put this much thought into it, but I'm glad you did.

[@ImpGoose]

Yay! It was made for fun but even if Bioware left it as a plot hole, I'll let them borrow this theory without questions haha

[@davidradach9311]

I blame Ghilan’nain. She needed spiders for her constructs, to give the people of Thedas something new to fear. 😱 All joking aside, I like the amount of thought you put into your theory. If BioWare has no narrative reason why, they should use yours!

[@ImpGoose]

Aw, that's so sweet! Thank you!!! Can't wait for them to contact me before Ghil finishes her experiments to scare us to death hahaha

[@zsusensei]

I love this theory !!!! However, my biggest fear is the spiders were not included in the game because they didn't want to bother with arachnaphobes. Of course I'm fine with that, but I'm interested in lore and story, so even if it's just a forced explanation, it's better than nothing. (for example, spiders are not native to that part and have always been imported or they extinct due to the greedy Tevinter mages) Unfortunately, the lack of save import choices doesn't help me trust the devs more to be honest. I know it's boring I'm still whining about this.... but of course I have some hope that I'm wrong and despite all that, the lore is complex and there are just a few retcons or holes in it. But for now I really don't trust them X')

[@InconceivableOracle]

I was not prepared to think about spider/mushroom/lyrium economics today as a way to justify a game system decision...but I'm so here for it. Economic systems with magic are wild enough already, so why not??

[@ImpGoose]

Yaaaay 💃🏼🎉🥳 Hope you had fun!

[@Russman67]

Another kind of adjacent theory. Qunari hate spiders and use gaatlock on every spider they see.

[@heatherbeck7008]

I would never have connected spiders to deep mushrooms- but I LOVE this theory!

[@ImpGoose]

Yaaaay 🎉🥳

[@jamescolver4674]

I watch a lot of DA KZbin content creators and I think I remember that someone on the "Community Council" brought up arachnophobia. Perhaps it was this conversation which led to the "Important Goose Deep Mushroom Chaos Theory". Shrooms will now forever be in the chat. 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

What if the reason is because Tevinter Mages and Dwarves hunted spiders in Northern Thedas to extinction for Deep Mushrooms. Now they're forced to making alternative potions that don't use mushrooms 😂

Haven't watched the video yet, but gotta say it's now: Bioware took a stance against mushrooms. Cause shrooms are evil. And we can't have evil things in Tevinter xD Upd: actually no. There's no spiders cause Tevinter in a recent years invented tea and they needed dried spider legs to mass produce it! That's it, mystery solved

[@maiafay]

I honestly think it was over triggering people because no one can seem to handle anything anymore - but I’m being extremely cynical. Spiders are usually just boring enemies or annoying to fight.

[@avallonkao7764]

Loved the lore. But to be 100% honest, I didn't even remember spiders existed in the games, I mean none of them were ever relevant, like a cool boss, or a spider queen like with a hot girl body attached to them. So, yeah, the news about the spiders to me at least was like... oh, ok. But to answer your last question about the writing... after my attempts to hear the Vows and vengeance series... I'm actually worried, if that indicates the quality of the writing. But I will be more than happy to be wrong.

[@ImpGoose]

Well, it will be interesting to see/read/play anyway. Probably we shouldn't assume that the writing is similar because the podcast is a marketing campaign for companions and not the game itself 🤔

So we are at the point of making convoluted theories to explain BioWares blatant middle finger to what Dragon Age was? Ok, but it sounds more and more like trying to convince yourself that this is still a good game. Im not saying dont like it, but be honest this is so far below the quality it should be and all the hair physics in the world wont make up for it.

[@ImpGoose]

I'll be honest, I haven't played the game to judge its quality. Trailers and gameplays change lighting, animations, and other details the closer it gets to Halloween. Have you noticed the difference in quality? Now, this video was made for fun, because we enjoy DA universe during my streams. Any community is made for the collective emotional experience. Why did you choose to focus on something that you haven't tried in person than to joke around and have fun with others? Please, don't seek a debate about something we have already spoken about dozens of times in the previous videos. Have fun, talk about mushrooms and Tevinter lore 🤣🤣🤣 It's not dangerous to relax a little

[@martilyn3502]

@@ImpGoose I'm relaxed and I've already seen all I need. The writing is subpar, the graphics and art style look like a claymation film or CGI Disney, the characters I've seen made all look the same basically, the sliders are beyond laughable, the comments from devs about the actual people who will be playing the game sound like they think we are simple minded neanderthals who have never played a game before, and I won't even begin on the amount of choices that carry over. I have been a DA fan since almost the beginning, it is my most favorite game/world. I was ready to drop almost $700 or more just to be able to play this game, as in I was going to buy a whole new console just for this game. I know how badly people want this game and for it to succeed but that won't make a poorly thrown together game good. I'm also not hating on anyone who will be playing it, but some truth and honest critique would be nice. Everything can't be just wonderful about this game but all these BioWare KZbinrs just want to say how good everything is and how great the game will be but you can't know that anymore than I can know it will be a bad game. I think it's going to be a repeat of Andromeda without all the bugs.(maybe). We can't all turn a blind eye just because of the title.
