Venatori Halla sacrifice scene | All Companion Reactions | Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[@AgentofChaos315]

You know later in the game you can find a letter Ghilan'nain wrote to Elgar'nan and she's pissed about this and that she's actually happy that all the Venatori there got slaughtered

[@nayriacadera6048]

I was about to ask if she wouldn't be upset about this

[@DAFanBoy01]

B-but the game isn’t dark? 🤣

[@lonespectre5329]

One exploded halla isn't exactly grimdark. It's awful, sure. But this is lightweight compared to what we used to see in this franchise.

[@sambishop9856]

​@@lonespectre5329yeah because all the actual decaying, pulsating, blight is super toned down from the bootleg Tolkein orcs we were foisted with in origins

[@lonespectre5329]

@ You mean the cartoony boils and roots we see? Before, the Blight looked like melted flesh all over the damn place. Now it looks like messed up shrubbery.

@@sambishop9856while the blight in DAV is different (as it is wielded by evanuris), the way darkspawn work in the absence of evanuris (how brood others are made) is some of the darkest stuff there is in the franchise. This was probably one of the darker moments in the game, but it can’t hold a candle to broodmother origins. And I’m okay with that. But some wanted to see more of that darkness

@@lonespectre5329 even compared to the other games, this scene was very graphic and disturbing. I can almost guarantee there must be a story to how this scene made the cut---there is no way most of the writers would want this moment in their Wholesome Big Chungus disney adventure game.

Worst. Game. Ever.
