Now I'm getting excited. If the focus is on the story, companions and combat, then the focus is in the right place. Fingers crossed.
Idk the companions are important but main story should be a major focus over companions. My worry is it'll be a case of Mass effect two where it's just a buddy comedy-esque game
@@SerfinBird True and reason for the fingers crossed. I'm hopeful though. Bioware needs a win desperately.
Idk it feels like they are saying the story is going to take a back seat to the team antics and all can say is they better be some damn good team antics lol 10 years of teasing solas prepping his plan and it sounds like he’s not even gonna do his plan this game 😂😭
@@SerfinBird I don't think it'll be like that. They said the companions stories would tie into the overall narrative and that they each represent a faction in the game, so I imagine they'll be more like Tali and Mordin in that sense
Very this!
Dreadwolf Sounds Much Better
It does
It does and Bioware admitted it sounds better but they also said it was worth the risk to change to a new title because it reflects the game better. Nobody prefers the new title 😂
I get the name changed and I think Veilguard would have at least been pretty equal to Dreadwolf. Putting THE in the title seems like a bad idea.
That said... no one buys these games for what the title is.
honestly for me gameplay is secondary when I play a game like Dragon Age when it's a Heavenly focused Story game the story should always be the most important part of the game
This this THIS
The day the dragon age gameplay was revealed was the most important day in your life but for me it was Tuesday- Michael Gamble 😆
Funny thing, I am a massive DA fan before Mass Effect. I got into Mass Effect just last year and absolutely loved it to bits, I even like Andromeda, and then I met your channel. So it's amazing to get news from Dragon Age from your channel, even if it's primarily ME oriented! Love your dedication 🥰🥰
This is awesome, thanks for the kind words! I'm falling in love with the world of Thedas currently. Feels similar to how I fell for Mass Effect 2 years ago.
I'll definitely be covering The Veilguard when it comes out as a reference for how those devs could impact the next Mass Effect. :)
@@paragonseven Looking forward to it! And it would be very cool if you post a video with your impressions about the DA series since you're going through it :)
@@viniciusstellium8012 I mainly share my thoughts on it over on Twitter cause I don't have time to record my gameplay. I'd love to eventually make some videos on DA content though, just not right now for time-reasons. :3
@@paragonseven Completely understandable! 🥰
Plot twist:
The Protaganist is Conrad Verner
🤣
I'm very cautiously optimistic. I really like what I've heard today, but I'll have to wait until Tuesday to figure out whether the game will be for me. I'm looking forward to seeing actual gameplay.
thanks for bringing us the info! feeding the algorithm
We are so back! Gameplay reveal has me craving more already 😍
Genuinely super excited for this, no matter what the doom posters say
I am excited to see the gameplay on tuesday but i am mostly excited with what I am hearing from this info
you gotta catch up with the rest of the DA games
I really hope to see Flemith soon. I need Kate Mulgrew’s return confirmed NOW lol
All three of the previous games are so different from each other that I hope there is some story line in the forth installment that ties together the entire trilogy.
I think it's important to note that McKay specifically mentioned this new title as being its own story. And I can't speak to whether the first three games played like a trilogy as I'm not done DAII or Inquisition yet, but it seems noteworthy that they didn't name Inquisition, DA:3.
@@paragonseven DA2 was also initially called Exodus...Probably EA marketing used "2" as a marketing strategy. But...
Not being a trilogy doesn't mean they're not connected. The second world war technically wasn't a sequel to the first, but they're already "tied together". It's the bigger picture that matters. The two clans of gods that Dreadwolf banished and pulled the Veil to keep them locked.
gameplay wise, yes. The story connects well enough though
What about varric we heard him in the one trailer?
He's definitely a companion. I'm just hoping they finally let us romance him 😭
I'll say he may play a similar role to that of the Advisors in DAI, what's I'd say he is going to put the Veilguard togheter and recruit the new protagonist, like Duncan in Origins
@@Akeyins Really?, you know this to be a fact?!?
Didn't they say we are getting new companions? Did I miss something?
Take care.
@@tetuone11 his voice actor was literally in one of the trailers and says "WE are with you" which means he's included. If he's not a companion then he's an advisor like the other person said.
Also getting new companions doesn't necessarily mean they're ALL new companions
@@Akeyins I'll believe it when it's confirmed by BioWare. Right now he's nothing more than a narrator. Hopefully I'm proven wrong at the reveal.
Have a good day.
Love mass effect and dragon age series
7 for the companions is a great number. In DA2 they were 6 (plus one from a dlc). In DAO there where only 4 romances.
we don't speak about that last companion or the merchants guild.
You can't call him egghead until you've played LEVELLAN in Inquisition!! 😭😭
Oops. 🙃
They said to show up early in the chat for surprises or free stuff. I forgot to add that the Veilguard might be that group they come across in the Missing comics.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard sounds more like a movie than a game.
Yeah would be better without the 'the' like the original game or inquisition
Dragon Age: Veilguard
This can be a good thing
Meanwhile I'm loving the discourse on what the acronym is. I like DA:Ve because it has similiar vibes to DA:D. 😅
Ha ha same here - a squad of Garrus, Tali and Liara would be amazing. Although I also loved rolling with Wrex and Grunt.
I can’t wait for the full gameplay/release date trailer to come out on June 11th. I’ve been waiting a long time for this game to come out and it’s just a few days away, as well as waiting for the release date of the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc Movie and seasons 2 of Zom 100, Castlevania Nocturne, Chainsaw Man and X-Men 97 and seasons 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Legend of Vox Machina and Spy X Family. Thankfully, I’ve been playing games like Prince of Persia Lost Crown, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and these were good games. Here are my walkthroughs once I finally get my hands on the PS5 copy. 1. Male Elven Warden. 2. Female Dwarven Crow. 3. Female Human Necromancer. 4. Male Qunari Veil Jumper
I have played all the trilogy and enjoyed
Think I might skip out on the reveal. I want to go into this blind
Oh, I definitely recommend playing DA2 (my personal favorite) but especially DAI if you are planning to get into this game - it's a pity the Stolas twist was already spoiled to you, it was such an emotional moment of realization to me. Unless you don't care about spoilers, that is :)
I liked Dread Wolf as the name much more, to he honest.
And i have to agree with some people here in the comments - having playersexual characters is actually a downside to me. It takes away from their agency, as it they are not allowed to be straight or purely gay. And having characters that are unavailable to romance due to my gender usually increases replayability for me, since I care to come back as another gender and romance that cute female character i couldn't before (yes, I'm talking about Tali, obviously)
The name gives more information on the plot then dreadwolf did,it also leads me to believe the villains will be multiple and not just solas.
7 characters? I'm not sure what other factions beyond the quinari,the tevintier ,unless they make up factions
I can think of the typical. Templar or 'mage hunter', Warden, Qunari, Tevinter, Elf Mage
If BioWare doesn't allow Blood Magic in a game set in Tevinter, I'm gonna summon abominations real life and unleash them upon them. XD
Fall 2024
Looking forward to this game, though cautious.
My one gripe is the sexuality. This was a pet peeve for me in DA2 as people are not bi/pan on a whim...
Don't worry about your videos. Your conspiracy theories may pay off. In unique ways.
f all the that hope its still this year release first n foremost. hype for sun n tues
I actually loved the representation in DAI. There are so few lesbian characters out there already ... it adds so much to certain characters. (And I know that Dorian's arc helped many people out there!)
In video games? They're full of them, especially RPGs. In Mass Effect there's an entire race of them.
Dreadwolf/solas wants to tear down the veil, the veilguard is... guarding it?
And I seem to be the only one rooting for Solas lol.
@@solarbiter5446same. The world sucks. The new world solas wants to build would probably be better.
Though they’re probably gonna make him completely insane rather than the tragic villain he was in tresspasser.
Also, sandal claimed in DA2 that the old magic would return. He pretty much confirmed that the veil will come down.
Everything I heard was good till it’s only 2 tagalong companions. 3 companions makes sense narrative wise for each game because it feels like a party traveling across the world to complete quests and save the world. Two companions just feels like a small strike team
i love the color and order of your three brain cells
The Veilguard I assume is meant to protect the veil from being opened by Solas. I think anyone playing this game would benefit from playing Inquisition first.
Origins is still the best though. Playing Origins, then DA2, and then DAI will give the most impact since you'll encounter familiar characters & hopefully choices can import over. Not sure how they plan to do that these days though.
Mass Effect trilogy is still my favorite though because you do play the same character. I can't think of any other game that does that.
whoever the 7 are Varis better be in it.
He is, he was in the trailer and said "we are with you" or something like that, meaning he's one of them
@@Akeyins hooray
@@littlemouse7066 it was probably a typo 🤷
@@littlemouse7066 ahhh okay, my bad lol. It's hard to tell sometimes in comments cause there's a lot of people who would say that seriously
Varric will be there, but he’ll be more like a guest companion in certain quests.
Really ALL I want is more Cassandra
*incoherent screaming!!!!!!*
Should have stayed with Dreadwolf it was a much better name in my opinion.
Why the article tho? Just Veilguard was fine.
I like that All companions are romanceable but I much prefer if they were not playersexual, I feel like it takes something from them but I can get used to it.
Mayor loss tho would be only being able to take Two companions with you and not bei g able to manualy control them
I can understand how character-specific sexualities is more realistic, but there is a tendency to underrepresent certain sexualities in most AAA-games, so defaulting to playersexual makes the most sense to me. And I think playersexual is better for a casual fan that won't do more than one playthrough.
I hope we can control the companions too. I enjoyed the creative combat freedom in Origins a lot.
I'm not massively concerned with romances in games unless it makes the story better (like with Morrigan). So I actually didn't romance anyone in DA2 or Inquisition plus if it was real life there's absolutely none of them I'd go for, so I'm not an expert but I agree in a sense in that it feels shallow and artificial. If my actual real life girlfriend was attracted to every man and his dog then I wouldn't feel like she really liked me. Do you know what I mean? It wouldn't feel special. There's also the case of BG3 where "consent" doesn't seem to translate particularly well into gaming code as the minute you're nice to someone they're trying to bum you. It's like "calm down, lads. I only came over to see if you have any quests if I boost your approval" but on the flip side it probably depends how they're written. So Gale for example clearly likes women because that's literally his whole arch, so it's got to feel strange being gay with him. Minthara talks about having sex with men, Shadowheart talks very much about big muscles ect. So these will probably feel jarring if the character is talking about their type and it's not your character but your character is in romance with them. The best thing to do then is not have them mention their sexuality at all and seeing as it is a video game I suppose it's all about fun and choice
I am not going to nickpick or complain about this game l don’t care what the review’s are in a sense whatever they are l am getting the game anyway l just want to play a new Dragon Age game period l have been waiting 10 years for another game that is long enough l am not getting any younger none of us are keep that in mind
I hope there is a bear to romance!
Seems after what Larian did, people aren't even settling for a werebear...
I guess mage warrior and rogue in a team and not having a support.
Aw man, I am sad it'll be down to 2 companions over 3. For me, restricting doesn't increase replayability. The big choices and meaningful impacts on the world or companions do. To me, story is everything. Good gameplay is just a bonus. Not many games these days focus on amazing stories. Old Bioware games like Kotor has horribly dated gameplay but is still one of the best stories I've ever played. Dragon Age Origins also would be considered to have 'dated' or horrible gameplay by modern standards, but it still has the most meat story & RPG wise & amazing companions. It also has a ton of replayability due to the different origin stories. Same with Morrowwind which has the best Elder Scrolls story but has horrible gameplay imo.
Wait hold up, all romances for DATV will be playersexual??? omg I don't have to play as a gender I don't want, to get with my veilguard husband, nice.
Hope one of them is a buff and/or bearded guy. They would not have a dwarf as a party member, so finally dwarves can be romanceable.
Dragon Age 4 had so many changes, a sign of weakness ☝️
Dragon age origins and its dlc is by far the best game in the series. 2 and 3 are meh at best.
only 2 companions at a time..ok its no longer dragon age...
Im just not sure about this new game, I really didnt like the tone or the art style of Veil Guard. I dont want to be unfairly negative, but the dark fantsy is what drew me into the Dragon Age franchise originally, its why I bought all the books, but I feel like this might be a drastic departure. Hopefully the gameplay trailer will look better.
Check out the gameplay footage circulating on Twitter. It looks STUNNING.
@@paragonseven I hope it delivers after all this time, I really do.
From my past experience being a long time Bioware fan, I do not take Gamble's tweets seriously at all lol
A lot of things he hyped up ended up being underwhelming or not true
Blergh! I like Dread Wolf so much better… Veilguard sounds so bland.
Veilguard sounds like an overwatch ripoff
RIP Bioware and Mass Effect 😭
Don't like the whole DA2 route where everyone is bisexual just to please the player. But hey, as long as its well written and the characters are compelling its ok I guess.
From the beginning of DA: Origins 10/10 to this new thing 1/10 Year after year, Bioware only spoils their games😂
I think its pretty obvious you'll have the option of siding with Solas. Because, why wouldn't you?
BioWare would never have the balls to do that. If obsidian was making the game, we’d have that option.
Thing is, I actually agree with solas. I WANT the old magic back. Because the current world of thedas honestly sucks. The veil going up was like the burning of the library of Alexandria.
Im excited as long as it dont push certain....narratives
