#veilguardspoilers By pure chance, I finished my video on gushing about the regret prison, and my view on some of the therapeutic themes of Veilguard. I love this part of the game so much, and to me this is just what made this series special. ❤️ youtu.be/1P_0y310Ouk?...

Hey EA... I was going to buy one of your games today, but I decided not to because I wanted to become more agile and focused...

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it. That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated. Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

Not really #veilguardspoilers, but ill tag anyway. Used a mod to unlock all the decor items, and this is by far my favorite description 💀

A screen shot of Dragon Age Veilguard that reads: Taash's Ginger Cup. "The Ginger. The ginger for Taash. The ginger chosen specifically by Taash. Taash's ginger."

Wanted to post about how challenging it is to parent a child who turns into the Loch Ness monster under the light of the full moon. No real reason. Just raising a were-Ness.

I posted a question asking about the elven word for Wisdom in the first hour or two! Not sure if they will get to it, cause it's not super highly voted, but it has a respectable number.

I'm cluttering this thread even more but I think I have the most complete version of my alphabet cheat sheet from the letters currently available as I have been unable to find the last three letters from current samples. Dot logic seems to occur on the major hexagon vertices not touched by lines.

It's true. I had a hunch and went back to that banner texture to confirm it, cause I had originally been confused as to why it just said "wanted for but stuf". I'm glad whoever made it didn't forget how to spell "butt stuff". 😂

We found the missing letters, so hey! Who wants an Dragon Age Elven font! As a side note, in game they seems to use a symbol as a space, and we have not found punctuation. So for this font, the 'space' symbol is a '.' drive.google.com/drive/folder...

DRAGON AGE ELVEN FONT in both english and elven text.

The funny thing is that I didn't realize it was the owl poem at first and was just trying things cause it was a large block of text. So I came across OWLS and OWL as a possible solution there while trying some small words and jumped back in our chat like "YOU GUYS IS THIS THE OWL TEXT???" (bonus/2)

pundromeda @pundromeda.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

realizing that the first word of the first line (pattern ABCD) and the second to last of the last line (pattern ABC) could be OWLS and OWL since it was the owl statue poem. Then everything started slotting into place! (2/2)

pundromeda @pundromeda.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Yeah! Once Ash had identified individual letters in the owl poem, I just treated it like a normal English cryptogram. Look for common small words like "is" and "to" and such, then fill in matching glyphs in other words to see if it makes any sense. The aha moment for me was (1/2)

pundromeda @pundromeda.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

I don't think so. We got the K from the word SPOOKY in the owl statue poem, but it looks very much like the Tevene Q...

pundromeda @pundromeda.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Or if you wanna drop some language evolution lore and tell us that Q and X and Z didn't exist in ancient elven and got made up by later cultures...? 👀

pundromeda @pundromeda.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

This was the most fun cryptogram I have ever had the pleasure of working on! I'm delighted by the similarities and differences in letters across the various scripts, too. It paints such a fun picture of the evolution of written language in Thedas!

BUT! There is more to translate! We have not really touched what we have been calling 'Ferelden'- a copy of the Inquisition tome in Veilguard. But we have broken a lot of the others. Link to our work for the other languages here: drive.google.com/file/d/177Cd...

This all started with the owl statue in the Arlathan forest which was first cracked by @pundromeda.bsky.social and spun out from there! Here are a few samples we have translated from Veilguard. The kicker- THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO INQUISITION!

Owl statue translation from Veilguard: HOOTY OWL- OWLS ARE SPOOKY EATING THE MICE. TIME TO FIND OUT IS THIS OWL NICE?

Box texture from Veilguard with translations: ELFROOT SPIRITS. FIND DISTILLED ELFROOT SPIRITS. DEW OF THE DALES.

Texture of the underwater barrier from Veilguard: I AM AN UNDERWATER BARRIER

It felt so good to be back in Thedas again with #dragonagetheveilguard. There's so much to love, though I do think the game is really missing some sort of epilogue party where we can talk to our companions one more time and see what's next for them. It's just that little bit of closure I'm missing.

#dragonagetheveilguard was the perfectly crafted conclusion for me, I couldn't be more thrilled. I do wish the ending post-battle was a little stronger and longer so you had time to feel it. In an ideal world, post credits we'd have a wake for any companion(s) we lost, and time to ask what's next.

After much discussion in the Vir Dirthara, we've decided if there's one thing we could change about #dragonagetheveilguard it would be the addition of epilogue slides like trespasser. We all just want to know what happened to everyone after 🥲
