I'm just glad this vid was me replaying it later and not me playing blind. Did NOT trust that choice in the slightest. The FIRST time I played, "You gave me this big emotional speech about running off to build a life together and raising our griffon son and now you want to go run off to, *checks notes* distract Ghilan'nain? Nah, mister, you're staying right here with me." Davrin had already become the semi-permanent second person in the party so it made sense to keep him around, and part of me in the back of my head was remembering Mass Effect and wasn't gonna trifle with turning him loose unless the game forced me to.
I did this in my first run. I was romancing Davrin, and chose him as team leader and then... I was crying for the REST OF THE GAME. Like real tears. It just got worse in the Fade Prison part with Varric, but I couldn't stop.
Rook: "Professor Mor... Emmrich, escort Dr. Chakwas and Miss Chambers back to the ship while I take on the collectors with the rest of the team!" Emmrich: Oo?
i didn't romance davrin and didn't have any kind of specific connection with him but when i saw that assan was included in the "risk it all" choice warning i went SORRY HARDING. so yeah uh i don't think harding will ever live in any of my playthroughs after seeing this
I'm not even in a romance with him and I was devastated. I like Harding, but Davrin and Assan are a duo that makes my heart very warm. When they died, I stared at the computer screen open-mouthed and couldn't believe it. Then came the Varric bomb and I just went to sleep and played the game the next day. I went back to the save and sent Harding to her death.
My first time through blind I absolutely benched him (aka kept him with me). BUT I live for the angst and actually think the sacrifice is a good if tragic story so I replayed it with this outcome. (Incidentally in the good ending, my Rook used the Mythal stuff, while this time around she and her team just beat the snot out of Elgar'nan and Solas then she shoved him into the veil)
@@LadyJ8 SPOILER AHEAD: Hidden throughout the game are six halla statuettes (half are after flashback memories, one you get from the Inquisitor, a couple are hiding), each tied to one of Solas' memories. If you view them all, Morrigan (who has taken possession of Mythal's memories from Flemeth now that the latter is dead) will show up and fill in the history of Solas and Mythal, and point you in the direction of one of Mythal's other surviving fragments. From there if you either impress THAT Mythal (or kill her), you gain a boon that can be used to finally talk Solas out of his plan to end the world and let go of the past. [If you manage to talk your way into the blessing, and haven't faced an optional extremely hard dragon fight against a Revenant Dragon, she'll also intervene in THAT fight].
There’s a comment thats made after harding dies where rook says they never find her body. What if they make a DLC after the Veilguard finds out one of them lived. Assan ended up saving Davrin and Harding went full stone to save herself maybe 👀 just a thought that helps me get by 😂
When i played my first playthrough, which was a blind playthrough, I allowed davrin to lead because he is a grey warden and I wanted harding to be at my side but then he suddenly died. Honestly, I was shocked but thought this was fitting for him. However, I was more saddened that Assan also died with him. I was hoping Assan will take revenge for him in the last battle with the grey warden but bioware did not think of that. I also wished that Rook, if you romance him at the end credits will not only say that the story of the romance is over but that He will be missed as well or something. Anyways, ongoing 3rd play through and planning to romance him with a fellow grey warden.
Girl, I'm bawling my eyes out right now He's my friend in this playthrough, but I planned to romance him in the next one. How am I supposed choose between him and Lace again? 😢
my husband finished before i did and watched me pick Davrin KNOWING what would happen but he chose Harding so he had no idea about Assan so we were both crying
I haven't romance him yet but seeing Assan diving in behind him was a big fat NOPE for me. Harding is getting sacrificed. Now how to save Belarra because, no!
@@Mimi-zn3nkIt’s not the first time. In Mass Effect we had to choose to save either Ashley or Kaidan on Virmire, while the one we don’t choose sacrifices themselves.
Thanks for the comment! I just made a video with the sliders, which also has a link to a pic gallery: Vid: ruclips.net/video/BcdRHMSX3Pg/видео.html Pics: imgur.com/a/fGNYloa
omg I also have a scheduled video with this content; will link your video in my video description to show the variety (I used a different female voice). I also cried at everyone's delivery 🥲
when davrin offered to lead the second team I thought to myself "yeah right ur not leaving my side through this"

What happened to Assan?
@@ashleym3432 Assan dives in after him and well, never came back out.
I cry tooo 😭
asaan diving after him destroyed me.
SAME
So the blight automatically kills him huh? Ahhhhh makes me sad
There’s NO DAMN TRUFFLES
@@yesiii9092 looks like a ME2 suicide mission deal. u gotta pick the right team 2 leader.
@@Poesjewel No, the same thing happens if you pick Harding. Whoever you pick ends up dying :(
I almost started crying at the “I love you, Davrin. And I always will” part. And my heart broke soon after at remembering Assan.
same, and I feel like this was one of the better parts of veilguards voice acting because it’s so heartbreaking
I thought he was going to be safe just as Garrus was. I reloaded.
Rook: "Professor Mor... Emmrich, escort Dr. Chakwas and Miss Chambers back to the ship while I take on the collectors with the rest of the team!"

god I did this in my first ever run not knowing whats gonna happen n it broke me. still does actually 😭 it really hurt
me too, i was staring at my screen and was like: whaaaat? Asssannn?!

13:00 "I wish I could see what we were going to become" is so *heartbreaking.* Rook's VA nailed it, too. 😭💕

If you choose her then yes

@@Mimi-zn3nk and people were angry saying the game isnt dark enough
Asan does just cuz he went in the blight? Thought it be worse .. I’m still not picking darvin lol 😭
