Dragon Age Veilguard - Exploring with FlyCam (No Commentary)

I like how all the windows are red. As if every structure is filled with blight. Would have been very cool to have had a mission there

Very cool that they actually made a model for the Golden/Black City. I love this game. ♥

When do we see it? I played the game till the end, but I don't remember where did we see it in game..

I guess Corypheus was right - it's empty 😉

I'm really surprised we didn't go to the Black City in Veilguard... Each game it gets closer and closer to us...

Wonder what the rent is like in the black city... Lots of prime un-gentrified classic build real estate available there. 🏡🏠🏚

This is still the perfect DLC opportunity 😭😭

still licking those windows to one up the gods, bet solas never thought of that one.

its pretty clear theyre playing with perspective and thats not REALLY how the black city is laid out lol but wow it's crazy to see

Also wondering, is that central tower the one elgar'nan mentions to ghil? The one solas riffed on to make the lighthouse? It's be pretty funny if the egomaniac elgernan was so mad at solas because solas set his fancy batchelor pad as the blight prison

Surprisingly...









underwhelming

Me approximately 1 minute in: I want to see the empty throne of the gods that Corypheus was bitching about, where is the throne

Me 2 seconds later seeing the giant tower in the middle: Oh it's in there isn't it. Elgar'nan made that tower to overcompensate for something and put the throne in there, of course he did

(also haha my inquisitor's name is Kala, funny coincidence!)

The fact that the Golden City is this detailed makes me wonder if there was actually a Story point planned.

I wish there was a spray painted wall saying “corypheus was here ✌🏼”

So they made all this for background dressing but cant actually go there lol....

Imagine what it would have looked like when it WAS the Golden City

Corypheus was right, it really was empty.

When I got to the lvl 50 dragon and saw the city I was like oh f*CK, this is it, after all this time, I'm going to the golden city!

Got awkward quick.

It reminds me a little of the castle in Treviso

Oh well, guess we’ll have to wait another decade until we get a better look at it. Maybe 20, and then we can finally visit it? 👴🏻

Why did the devs use the architecture from Treviso? Does this imply that Treviso is an ancient Elven city or did they not have the time to make fully unique assets for the Black City? Because the big tower in the middle and the tiered pyramid-like tower off to the side look like they go together but don't really feel like they fully match the rest of the buildings. Also the ornaments repping the gods look like they were just stuck on the tops of those towers.

Oh great, now I have chunks of red lyrium protruding out of every orifice in my body. Did you learn nothing from what happened last time someone wandered the Black City, Kala? :T

That's a lot of mage towers. Pssst... I don't think you were supposed to be there.

Hoping we get to explore it properly in DA V

I'm crossing my fingers that this will be part of a DLC. A DLC with better (paid) writers. I'm having fun with the game, but the dialogue is hit or miss. I swear some of it was borrowed from fanfiction I've read (and written).

I've grown to absolutely love the Veilguard theme song. It hits so much harder after finishing the game!

Appreciate the insight, thank you, Kala! Amazing to see it.

Seeing the Black City with this much detail was easily one of the highlights of the game for me. Major chills. Here’s hoping we get to actually explore it on the ground in a future game. The updated design in The Veilguard is GORGEOUS.

It seems too detailed to be a simple background building. I think we were originally going to visit it, until the idea was discarded, when they had already done it.

Be really cool to see the actual throne room were the evanuris and the box containing the Titians Souls which I guess is the power of gods makes me wonder what stopped the evanuris especially like Elgarnan for like just absorbing the whole thing into himself so he could just make himself so unbelievably powerful with all those titians souls

"Beg that I succeed, for I have looked upon the throne of the gods and it was empty!"

Strange choice of using Treviso props instead of Arlathan ones for the Black City though. Sure it's something totally in the background, but they could've just made different textures for Arlathan props and use them there.

Huh. For something that's really far, it's pretty detailed.

In a world and time were everything is made out of thoughts, emotions and magic, why is there bricks?

I wonder if it looks different up close in Solas's Crossroads memories? You would think it would be golden in his memories pre-Veil, but it doesn't look like it from what we can see in game, although it's hard to see without fly cam because it's foggy. Also, it's interesting to note that the only gods' symbols we see here belong to Dirthamen, Sylaise and Elgar'nan (according to the data mined files that showed the names).

OMG! Kala, thank you so much for sharing this! I haven't finished valguard yet, but what I have played so far I really love! 😄🙌🏾🎉

As soon as I'm done with my let's play, I definitely want to dive back into all of your content. 🥰

I just want you to know that you have been our Lighthouse. By keeping the positivity and love for Dragon Age alive, thank you, my dear. ❤

Very ominous

I've never clicked like on a video so quickly before

That's sad and frustrating that we didn't have a part of the story here
