It was actually supposed to be even bigger originally 😂. The concept art by @nickthornborrow.bsky.social they had lots of plans for the guy that unfortunately didn't make it, from what I understand he was scrapped before he was completed, but some of the team rescued him for ambient fauna

#DragonAgeVeilguard: Creature Design "Electric Aqueous Tadpole" So it has a name! 😆 www.artstation.com/artwork/98bDga

We've seen you embrace characters, rewrite the rules, and make the world your own for two years, and we’re still in awe of your support. To celebrate, we’re sharing the rare achievements and the even rarer choices that you’ve been making! Community Update #35: larian.club/CU35

The last couple of weeks have been pretty slow gaming-wise. I caught up on few shows, including Andor S2, which was better than it had any right to be. 👍 I still putter a bit in AC Shadows for the weeklies, and mess around in Skyrim. I should check to see what else is coming up... 🤔

#DragonAge #Veilguard Concept Art Dumat - Underwater mansion After the submarine proved to be too anachronistic, a magical mansion under the sea, on the back of a giant creature felt like it might strike the right balance. www.artstation.com/artwork/xD5V22

Some nice dragon models in the modpack. 🤔 Alas, one poor Stormcloak got yeeted into the stratosphere during the last dragon fight. 🛰️ #Skyrim

Hi all. Decloaking for a few days to share news: I’m on a new game called the Concierge, by North Mist Studios. It’s a story heavy RPG about trust and paranoia and spies in near-future Victoria. web-cdn.bsky.app/profile/nort...

I'm finally moving the main & Companions questlines forward a little bit. Oof - so much extra content, you can't walk 5ft without picking up a new quest! 😅 Bought Breezehome yesterday, which got quite a makeover. And finally I can craft magic-resist gear, which shores up my one real weakness.

Picked up two player homes now - the 1st I scrimped & saved 15k for, and the 2nd I stumbled across was free. 😆 Then finally marched up the 7,000 steps to High Hrothgar. Those views... 👌 Along the way, fought my first 2 (mod-upgraded) dragons. They're definitely beefed up in Nolvus. 🐲 #Skyrim

I have to say, the #Skyrim interiors in the Nolvus pack are... pretty impressive. Shops are just packed with stuff. 😶

#Veilguard Concept Art: Dumat Submarine Having a boat is cool, but as the game shifted to a "covert commandos" theme, we asked: "What's more covert than a boat?" Is trying to design a submarine in a fantasy game crazy? Certainly. Just too much fun to not explore. www.artstation.com/artwork/DLk2ve

I just gave Nolvus (modded #Skyrim) a try (or 3). Installed fairly smoothly, though I did make a few... poor choices in the setup. 😅 I didn't pick Alternate Start only to find the OG opening bugged beyond belief: Reinstall. I picked optional Bosses (L10 vs L1 you @ Bleak Falls): Reinstall. 🫠

Nudged the Fighter & Mage Guilds quests a little further, then took a break and dipped into the Knights of the Nine questline. Still popping into the Arena every now and then. One day I'll get back to Main Quest. Though, the more I play #OblivionRemasted, the more I want to get back into #Skyrim. 😁

Level 28. Picking away at the Mage's & Fighter's Guild quests here & there, as well as starting the Knights of the Nine questline. I haven't played the DLC before, so... we'll see! 🤔 It's hilarious running across "Bandits" at this level running around in gear worth 1,000s in gold. 😄 #Oblivion

#DragonAge #Veilguard Concept Art: The Black Codex It held the true history of Thedas. This helped to steer the half-truths, misunderstandings, and lies that shaped the world. This series of illustrations was a way to explore the major events of Thedas' history. www.artstation.com/artwork/vb52AO

Well, with hockey over, it's back to #OblivionRemastered ⚔️ Finished the Arena questline, acquired up my first home base (Frostcrag Spire), and been spending some time crafting a few custom spells and weapons. 🛠️ *Briefly* picked up a Unicorn mount... until I found out they're really a curse. 😅

Still picking away at #OblivionRemastered. ⚔️ Level 21 now and the main quest is far enough now in my rearview mirror, I'm not even sure what I was supposed to do anymore. 😅 So now I'm just meandering around, picking up stray quests here & there. Maybe I should come up with -some- kind of goal. 😁

The Black Codex held the true history of Thedas. The story of the #Veilguard was going to reveal so much actual truth, it meant the Black Codex could no longer be a secret. This series of illustrations was a way to explore the major events of Thedas' history... www.artstation.com/artwork/RKZ3Ee

There were a few in today that caught my eye. Keeper, There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, and Clockwork Revolution all looked interesting. The Outer Worlds 2 was always on the list, but now with a 3rd Person view? 😎👍 #XboxShowcase

#OuterWorlds2 - October 29, 2025. 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd4c...

Popped into #AssassinsCreedShadows for weekly and the Dead by Daylight tie-in. The nightmare realm would have been more fun if it wasn't just one long stealth section. I'm still hoping for an Isu tie-in DLC somewhere down the line.

#DragonAge #Veilguard Concept Art Dragon Age had an unreliable history by design. People had an imperfect view of the events that have shaped their world. However, from the very beginning of Dragon Age, there was a secret document referred to as The Black Codex. It held the true history of Thedas.

Well... that escalated quickly. 😅 Just at the West Weald Inn when out of nowhere, Else "God-Hater" suddenly goes ballistic on another patron, Gratlak. She summons a whole set of Mythic Dawn gear, chases him up two flights of stairs, and hacks him down. A guard appears and... everyone chills out.

Just catching up... Nice tech demo! Now just scale your expectation back about 1/3 of what you saw here, and that's where it'll land. 😁 #WitcherIV www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0QP...

Decided to explore more of the Imperial City yesterday and dabbled a bit in the Arena. Then I made my way over to Skingrad only to have Lucien pay me a visit that night. Murderer? Moi...?? 🤔 I had to check, and sure enough - Murder: 1. 👀 And I have no idea who it is! 😅 #OblivionRemastered

With work and the (NHL) playoffs, I haven't had much time to play lately. And since I'm a little burnt-out on BG3, I thought I'd give #OblivionRemastered a shot. Turned out to be a nice change of pace. 😎 Created a custom Breton warrior-mage, which has been fun so far. Level 9. What main quest? 😅

I'm at the Counting House now, so... LET THE LOOTING BEGIN. 😁 #BaldursGate3

In Baldur's Gate proper now, and... decision paralysis. 😶 Eventually decided my first step would be in exercising a little editorial control over the Baldur's Mouth. 📜 Then it was off to deal with Dolor, Aradin, Lorroakan (& the Vault), mistakes were made with a lamp, and now... Gale's ex. 😅

Wrapped up everything I could on the Rivington/Wyrm's Rock side of things. Rescued Florrick (it's hilarious that, "I'm here to inspect the prison." is even an option), attended the coronation, broke Wyll's pact, bought a statue, and for the first time - brought Minthara to Act III. 😅 #BaldursGate3

#DragonAge #Veilguard Mage's College Concept Art: "Early on I thought the idea of the Mage's College sounded fun to explore. Here you can see young students, exasperated Templar baby-sitters, professors, and the merchants that keep them all well supplied." www.artstation.com/artwork/1xdAAq

#DragonAge #Veilguard Rivain: "Living world illustrations were a way to explore the relationships between different groups and classes in a region. Rivain hosts a wide range of cultures, from Qunari, to pirates and scoundrels, to pantheists, to the chantry." www.artstation.com/artwork/obn44w

Explored some of Rivington with the Circus our latest stop. (Karlach's hilariously enthused if you bring her along. 😁) I took Shadowheart to the Dryad, had my Boney & Stoney Statue commissioned (NOT CHEAP), and messed with Silvertongue, Bard-ing my way through the Circus. 🎸 Then... the Djinni. 🪔

Wrapped up Act II the other day! I have a ton of time in BG3, but this is only the 3rd time I've made it as far as Act III. 😅 We were Level 10 going into the Myrkul fight, and nearly killed him in 2 hits. 😁 It's still a weird transition going from MT-Rest-Ruin-Rest-Fight-Rest... 🙃 #BaldursGate3

#DragonAge #Veilguard Par Vollen Living world illustrations were a way to explore the relationships between different groups and classes in a region. This image was a fun chance to explore a wider range of Qunari than the soldiers and explorers we've seen so far. www.artstation.com/artwork/39RAAg

Finished up the Gauntlet of Shar. I -may- have forgotten a thing or two about the trials, but... Aylin! 😁 Managed to set up a couple of nice ambushes for both Yurgir & Balthazar - 😎👍 Now back to Moonrise, chasing down Ketheric through the Illithid Soup Dungeon. 🦑 #BaldursGate3

With a little care, we cleared out the enemies in Moonrise Towers, top to bottom (except the roof). Knocked out Moonglow and left Araj alone (after donating some blood & buying up all her goodies). With a little luck, those two should make it to Act 3. Now... the Gauntlet of Shar. #BaldursGate3

This old school poster from John Berkey is one of my favorites. When I was a kid, I was a huge Star Wars fan - "action figures", lightsabers, vinyl soundtracks, posters, wallpaper, art prints, glow-in-the-dark corkboards... the works. 😁 #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Halsin finally joined up last night. Looking forward to dive-bombing a few enemies. 🐻‍❄️ Also made it to Moonrise, so time to gear up! 😁 #BaldursGate3 (My fingers still want to type #Drago.... ;)

Didn't have a ton of time to play last night, but I did make it across the river. Few moments are quite as satisfying as convincing Gerringothe to... "Pay it back." 😁 Then it was off to the bar to have a drink with Thisobald. The Thorm family are just piñatas at this point. 🎈 #BaldursGate3

Dealt with Marcus last night, picked up the quest from "He Who Was", and exploring around the SL. Also, got the upgrade for Karlach's heart and had Dammon make use of some of the materials we've picked up. Though this time around, I didn't put up with any of Jaheira's nonsense. 😁 #BaldursGate3

Feeling a little under the weather today, but last night I finished the Creche, picking up a lot of good gear in the process. Powered-up the Space Gummies, had a brief chat with El, and about to head into the Shadowlands. #BaldursGate3

Last chance to save on deluxe books like The Art of #DragonAge: The Veilguard (Deluxe Edition). Also don’t miss out on the limited edition 1/6th scale Neve Gallus Statue, available for pre-order while supplies last!https://bit.ly/3whUlOL @darkhorse.com

So with the Underdark done, I backtracked and took the Mountain Pass. I cleared out the Monastary, and now to the Creche. (I like to shapechange into a Githyanki here - it's easier to deal with the locals. ;) And now I'm on my way to the Infirmary to power-up the Space Gummies. 🐛 #BaldursGate3
