![Cody Johnson - I'm Gonna Love You (with Carrie Underwood) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yy9PuYMU29g/mqdefault.jpg)
Can't wait to spend 5 hours in the character creator (and instantly hating how my character turned out the moment I see them in a cinematic)
I thought it was just me, lol
they have a lighting system you can use in the character creator to see what your character will look like in gameplay.
In before there is no hide helmet option :P
They're including multiple lighting modes in the character creator to address this lol the DA traditions of terrible hair and the character looking totally different outside of the character creator appear to be over
i heard that you can change your Rook at anytime in game
I won’t be excited. Instead, I’ll be cautiously optimistic.
That's the right way to be. Keep an eye on what's coming but wait and see before committing.
Same dude. It's not as if I'm against it but it's different and that has to be acknowledged.
I will follow Garrus's philosophy : Be prepared for the worst, so you will never have bad surprises.
Same here. Not jumping on a hype train but neither am I boarding a hate bandwagon. Wait and see.
My thoughts exactly.
My inquisitor constantly pissed solas off 💀💀 so I might be cooked
Mine punched him... lol.
Whenever I had the chance to piss off that arrogant egghead or knock sense into him, I would and will continue to do so if given the chance
I could not stand Solas
@@everdinestenger1548 never understood the hate for him honestly.
@@SplendidFactor omg that punch was hilariously funny. 🤪🤛🏼
Wait people hated the Hinterlands?! Huh?! I thought it was the desert areas lol
Hinterlands was awesome, spent sooo many hours here.
Agreed, fuck the desert ugh lol
@@HyouVizer yeah I remember spending the first 10 or so hours in the hinterlands alone on my first play-through. I think it was the Hissing Waste that pissed me off lmao
The desert was the worst.
In every new playthrough, I completely clear all Hinterland missions. They dont know what they are saying
Most people didn't make it the desert because of the progression system. That made them hate the area they were stuck in
I hope the tarot card system has ALL the decisions that are present in dragon keep. If not then it feels like they would be simplifying all the decisions we made in past games and that just sucks.
Yeah I'm with you. What are the major ones for you?
I hope it factors in past romances, like if your Inquistor romanced Solas, that would lead some powerful dialogue should she see Solas again in DAV
Yeah. How the player handled what Anders did in DA2 better be handled well. Also, I was adamantly against the religious inspired genocide of mages by the chantry/Templars in DAI. I always sided with the mages in all three of my plays of that game.
@@HyouVizer That is one of the things I am hoping has massive weight in the story, kind of like if you romanced Solas you would have a good chance redeeming him but if you were an AHole to him, you would not be able to redeem him.
I think it will only be romances and major decisions however there might be stuff like cameos if sent Feynriel to Tevinter for example
I already know what background I’m choosing. Time to be a greywarden again.
I feel ya brother, hell yeah!
It feels like going back home ngl cant wait
Same brother, same. My time as the Hero of Ferelden was legendary!
Now I just need another witch of the wild as a romance option
Me and you both,I Didn't romance Alistair to not be a greywarden again,Tamlen didn't die and turn into darkspawn for the sake of my little guy!
I'm gonna be in that character creator forever omg
All I want to know is… what happened to our gang of companions in the inquisition and our Inquisitor
They'll explain it
The inquistor is confirmed to be in the game you will remake them in the character creator
You meet your Inquisitor just like how your Inquisitor meet Hawke.
Could very well be. Though I hope they show him to be more of a badass than they showed Hawke
@@Dantics Probably with a prostethic robo-hand. After all the detective chick has a fake leg and I think that elf veil jumper has a fake left hand.
It’s crazy I can’t port my inquisitor in I have to create a whole new one
@@robertcespedes1671 New character creation so something like porting a character was off the table.
It's been 10 years and a whole console generation, two if you include the fact that Inquisition came out on the xbox 360. So there was never much chance of importing your Inquisitior.@robertcespedes1671
Cant wait to run in as a 2 handed warrior and smashing through everything
What DAI did well was the weight of attacks in 2h mode. Let's hope it's the same.
Ha I’m always a mage ever since Da2 I just like being a magic wielder now if I can do that and deal damage up close like dao I forgot what it was called but it used to be an elven oh arcane warrior which was turned to mage enchanter in dai but yea I wanna be that but in armor 😈😈😈
Welp, and here I am with warrios that after orgins doesn't know how to put another sword in his hads.
Two hand full length blade like in the DA1 not this sword knife shit regardless of how more practical it is I just won’t to look cool
@@Dantics 2h weapons are "surprisingly" light and nimble in real life, games and a lot of films never get that right.
I am optimistic for this game. I just hope the story and characters hold up to those of previous games. The combat isn't a problem for me and I think I would personally enjoy that faster combat style. The fact that you can customize your inquisitor and the outcome of the previous game, in the creation from the start is really a bonus. It will make my life a lot easier as a die hard solas romancer.
These character designs actually make "nudity confirmed" almost sound like a punishment.
because it is
I laughed, you're not wrong.
LMAO
hahaha
That’s hilarious lol
It was confirmed somewhere that the rogue subclass in this demo was the duellist and not the veil ranger.
Really want to hear the mage subclasses!
I hope arcane warrior returns
Elemental
Necromancer
Combat mage
All I know is I heard Blood Mage isn't returning, which is kind of a shame since, you know, this game allows you to take a background related to TEVINTER. You know, the place known to be one of the most heavily influenced by Blood Magic out of everywhere in Thedas???
No EA account linking 🎉🎉🎉 🥳🥳🥳
Of course I’m abusing the boob slider I’ve played so many games that they say you can make a character look realistic yet I can’t. I either have to be skinny or thick with no titties. That is not my body I wanna play as my thick big butt and big breasted self and since weave ain’t in the game long luxurious locks that and living in a world where I’m a mage will be my only fantasy ( me having long luxurious locks is the fantasy as well as being a mage)
I actually hear this feedback A LOT from women. That they can't make characters that represent 'them'. I hope extra hairstyles means you get those long luxurious locks, because that was some of the feedback they got from Inquisitions lack of hair options.
@@Dantics I’m not surprised tell a woman she can make a character how she wants then deprive her oh the hell you’ll get in return I think we’re worse then men watching sports when a game doesn’t go how we thought it would
What concerns me is that there only seems to be 3 equipped skills you can use.
Not sure how we go about swapping skills in and out but I too would like more. It seems like they've gone the andromeda route
I get the impression from the dev's comments there will be 4, 3 main and one finisher. That feels a bit better to me tbh when taking into account har large the skill trees are supposed to be
@@Anthony-pq4vrthat makes thr skill trees around very small and limited
Eww gross. So another diablo 4 skill f up. "Here's 45 skills, now pick 4 to use for the the next 30+ hours of gameplay." That could be the difference between whether i buy this game or not. Inquisition has what, 10 skills you can use instantly at any time. Which is awesome. This should be a minimum. Neverwinter takes it to the next level but we won't get into that.
Heals are back! There's a way to get an extra potion slot. There are difficulty sliders to customize the experience. You can make your skill menu be click or hold. These may not seem like big deals to some people, but I have cerebral palsy and all of these things ease any worries I had about "Can I play it?" with the more action-y combat. My favorite Dragon Age game is actual DA2 (I'm basing this off of the fact that I beat it three times.)
The more I hear, the more excited I get. I can't wait to meet new party members and hopefully see some returning faces. I just can't believe it'll be here this fall. There's so much here that looks promising and I can't wait to get started.
Nice, I also found DA2 gameplay fun! I was surprised by the flack that game took (Though I played Origins after 2 lol. DA2 and Inquisition had fun combat imho)
@@TragoudistrosMPH I suppose the people who liked the origins combat felt similarly to how some Final Fantasy fans felt about Final Fantasy XVI as opposed to older turn based entries. I enjoyed all three games, and I'm willing to give the new one a go because I wanna see what happens with the story.
@@KatallinaVT the story is addictive, and I too have an open mind :)
Here's to us both giving up an insane number of happy hours this fall!!! 🥂
this interaction was so sweet 😀 can't wait to see what the full game is like!!
@@TragoudistrosMPHda2 was amazingly fun
the gameplay changes seems very... bold. I will keep an eye open neither hyping it, or hating it
Bold is the right word. Let's see where it takes us
'Samey' and 'safe' compared to other recent titles are a couple other words I'd use.
It's very Mass Effect. While I like ME, it was always the lesser of the 2 game series for me. I like games that make me think a little more. Oh well. Hopefully the story makes up for the lackluster combat.
Its more mass effect 2 and star wars
@@countdadcula4475it stresses me because they waited 10 years, so we could think it maybe was because of huge technological advancements, but it turns out it's actually just another game they could have finished 3 years after Inquisition. I recall DA had a contract for five games, if there will be a fifth, I hope they don't wait ten years just to create a game with almost identical looking graphics.
The 3-person party is a bit tricky. Dragon-age tends to have those interactive areas where you need a rogue to pick a lock, a mage to move stuff, warrior to break down a wall, etc. With 4 members, you could always ensure you had what you needed.
Also, for those of us who are hard-wired to build standard RPG parties with a healer, tank, and DPS...it will be hard not to feel like I'm missing out on something.
Although, if there's a melee mage that lets me have giant rock fists...I'll be just fine.
Yea, party comp is weird with only a 3 man party.
Plus the party banter. God i love party banter. Its more fun if we had 3 companions banter rather than 2.
They dumbed it down as much as possible. Its and Arcade game now not really an RPG
@@ExcessumGaming being a 3-unit party doesn't make a game dumbed down. It's just a different mechanic to adjust to.
I don't understand your conclusion. 3 party system would allow for the 3 obstacles you mentioned to be overcome and the 3 roles you want. What are you missing out on then?
@@curlywhites variety of characters to quest with. If I have a tank, and a mage that can heal, then I only have 1 spot for a DPS mage, or a warrior, or a rogue. And it would NEED to be a rogue to fill out all three. Not many choices.
That also narrows things down based on who you choose to play. If I want to play a rogue, I'm going to miss out on (probably) having any other rogue on my team. Maybe I want to be an assassin, and so Harding is already out of the question. It also eliminates having the warrior Qunari on my team.
Obviously, this gets alleviated some if it just happens to be a game where you don't really NEED a true tank or a true healer. But, the risk there is those games tend to be more button-mashy than actually having to strategize your team composition. Which is an aspect of RPGs I enjoy.
I don't like the overreaction this game received, but at the same time I can see why it got it. From all of the details I read up on online, it seems like the marketing team screwed up royally, even with the gameplay reveal in a way.
I'm a huge fan of Origins btw and its gameplay. But even with all the gameplay changes, I think I will still have fun in this game. At the end of the day Dragon Age has been slowly moving away from that formula ever since DA2. And while I do feel sad about it and find it a bit disappointing, I also like other genres of games, and I can get my Origins kick from a lot of other great CRPGs nowadays. But only this franchise has DA's storyline.
I still love dao but I won’t lie I’m glad they did because I’ve been playing baldurs gate 3 and although it’s great I hate the tactical as well as having to wait my turn to fight which is funny because my mom whose 55 said she likes games like dragon age inquisition because it’s a bit faster in combat for her and yet like me she’s a huge dragon age fan. And yes I won’t lie I was so disappointed when I saw the reveal trailer I kept thinking it was a prank and for a different game like I got Carrie Harding and rook but my boy emmerich got done so dirty and then some of the creatures just looked really off like the dark spawn and skeletons they looked like a mix of fable and ratchet and clank imo. But emmerich looked like the creepy neighbor from hello neighbor.
I'm like you. I like Origins style but I'm sure I would still have fun in this game.
I feel like they dropped origins play style right away with 2, and found a medium return with Inquisition. I love all the games, I replay every one of them at least once a year and I know I'll do the same with this one.😅
I am tired of people complaining. I am also a fan of Origin to Inquisition, and I was so excited with the gameplay-reveal. The Trailer did disappoint me a bit, but just because I already looked for characters to romance. XD
I wish I could look past this, like you but for me: I just cant enjoy this
So is the dragon keep redundant now? I thought that was a really really cool game feature they added. Especially if you wanted to change your world state without replaying the first 2 games!
So basically I can play as a Thicc mommy elf instead of an extra skinny one like in previous DA games? I’m sold😂
Imagine thicc mommy elf rouge class with those animation. This plump would be jumping 20 times per second in combat.
For real. I am so excited to be able to customize my character's body.
Muscle mommy Qunari, here I come!
@@jonathanhirst6997 that too🗿
@@jonathanhirst6997snu snu
welp, time to finish my 5th Inquisition playthrough to cononize my Veil Guard beginning. Gonna be a long summer.
My last inquisitor didnt talk to solas until skyhold and i punched him in the face. Im cooked.
Solar is going to be a mean bastard for you then.
Honestly would be cool if, while Solas believes he is helping, his methods of chaos are reduced if he is treated well. If he was abused by the Inquisitor in DA:I he should be quite chaotic, not caring about the level of destruction he is causing.
I see no reason to hate it, I understand caution though, I’m looking forward to it but I know not to get my hopes too high.
We just dont want forspoken and anthem part 2 with an unfinished mass effect game thats just starfield with elves and dwarves i want a game that's good mechanically and classes that work with some world building
@@vergillives9890 You are being reasonable though, most hate comments I see about this game on any social media is just that the graphics are crappy and it’s not open world, so I fully respect what you’re saying.
More worried about linear missions, feel like that will make or break the game.
Wdym 'linear missions'? Dragon Age has always had linear quests, point A-B-C-D-E, congrats quest complete, theres very rarely been a 'do this or do that' type of quest
Not a fan of them nerfing the party to three and being unable to use companions thats a huge mistake.
I don't know if it is with how its explained here. dont get me wrong im still skeptically optimistic, but i actually didnt mind how they did it in Mass Effect. its less to micromanage and if you can cutomize behaviors and strategies like in past games it may just be fine
Nothing was worse than Alastair always getting the last death blow AND cinematic scene AND all of the XP points.
Nothing was more infuriating. And I loved Alistair.
I just dont like the 3 skills that's a mass effect skill problem with an ult not a dragon age problem
@@stephaniesiwik4964Alistair was the main character of DA:O
I mean in inquisition always having to switch to characters to rez members fighting a dragon was just so tedious
If you can romance Lae'zel you can romance anyone. But nothing can match her personality.
Leave my Frog Princess alone
i can finally be a grey warden again 10/10 for me
Yeh that's how I felt. 🤔
"companions can eventually start romancing other characters" is exactly what we wanted in BG3 with Karlach and Wyll😭😭😭😭
I loveddd the hinterlands because I loved exploring. I went through each area to take in each detail and do everything the game had to offer
Most of the info you went over seems to point in the right direction for what I was hoping for...until you got to the part where companions cannot be controlled. There were two key gameplay mechanics I was looking for: 1. Tactical pausing (confirmed) and 2. Full party control (removed).
Very disappointed the devs went in the direction for a more Mass Effect squad style with only the ability to issue skill usage commands. Personally, I liked to move and position/reposition my party during battle. I feel it's an integral part to the basis of party based combat in an RPG that the previous Dragon Age games had. Sad to see it was removed.
I was at the cautiously optimistic level of enthusiasm. But now I'm back to neutral unfortunately.
Yeah see this is what I was expecting would happen with many people. Controlling companions is such a Dragon Age thing that it does seem odd to not have it. Well, be sure to still follow along to see if that changes, but I completely understand
@@Dantics Tatical pause doesn't make sense if you don't control them. It's more like "you got jumped out, think what you can do!" now. There's zero tactic in this. Meaby a bit of strategy (like d'oh fireball this fire elemental he is weak against fire for sure, he's already burning) but nothing else. More of paper - rock - scissors...
You Can still issue move and skill commands to your squad if they are going for a more mass effect style approach. So the tactical pause could be used for positioning and such.
also, inquisition felt like a slog sometimes, controlling a different character/class really helps me get through the game as I would not get bored playing. unfortunate that they removed it.
I understand your frustration, but the combat system reminds me at that Guardians of the Galaxy game, which was quite fun actually. As long as they wont fuck up the story, I will overlook the loss of full party control. :)
I am so absolutely stoked for this game. I have always had a lot of love for the dragon age series. Got me through some really rough times in my life.
Mass Effect was like that for me, but I really did enjoy Origins so much that I replayed it with every origin. Let's hope this holds up
@@DanticsEveryone didn't do that?? And now I'm having flashbacks to how utterly tragic all of them were
@@papist27some people only played 1 or 2 characters and called it a day missing out
1 thing i´m abit worried about as far as combat is the camera angle in combination with enemy ground effects. The Pride Demon fight showed the problem pretty well, as in becouse the camera angle sits so low behind your character it creates moments where u cant quickly see the whole outline or how big the aoe effects are. Imo they should seriously consider raising the camera angle up abit higher from the ground to make it easier to se the aoe outlines properly. Nothing is more frustrating than taking dmg from effects u though u were out of just becouse u couldent properly se the outline correctly.
Been following you Dantics since the days of Anthem (still sore how good that could of been). Glad to still you're still here giving opinions and reporting on facts about games, not just jumping on the clickbait hate train that so many channels do now, shouting with all their might how a game is gonna fail hard.
You're a gem in the rough, keep it going. As for the game, like others, i'm not gonna over hype it, but i'm keeping a keen eye on it and can feel a slight smile growing, the more i see about it.
That takes me back. I completely understand about Anthem. Trust me. I wanted it to continue more than anyone but when I saw the Anthem next content and they asked my feedback, I had to be honest. It wasn't quite there. But thankfully they respected that and ultimately I think they went the right direction focusing on other titles.
My recommendation is always 'follow' a game, but only invest when you will have fun. No use being negative before you know the full picture.
“This game is gonna be woke”
That sounds someone who NEVER played dragon age before.
A story driven game. Folks that want open world non linear can go play a ubisoft game. This approach (straight forward story driven) is needed every now & again. I'm hopeful & excited for this game.
I have yet to manage to get past the first 1/3 of Inquisition. I don’t feel there is a story, and I don’t even feel for my own player character. I’ve tried 3 times.
Bring on the story!
Open world games can be great if we get fixed loot instead of random and not too many mmo-like side quests. Inquisition was pretty terrible in both aspects, especially farming schematics was built terribly and collectables like shards were tedious AF. It had its shining moments though, I hope these larger areas with more exploration only take the good sides of Inquisition.
Really looking foward to this. Happy that Keep won't be use also, I just hope it includes as many options as possible.
Got a good laugh out of the tweet that asked if you would be forced to play anything but straight, its as if people like that have never played a Bioware game before. Or just have an overwhelming urge to use the word woke at any given oppotunity.
I am also so glad they have gone back to a more streamlined approach. everyone likes to moan at 2, me included but id take an upgrade on that over "You need 1000 of random resource to progress."
I lowkey haven't watched your videos in years. feels good to be back. I'm glad to hear an opinion that isn't just rage bait.
I'm honestly tired of the "It's not like Origins so it sucks" argument. Dragon age has been an ARPG for 3/4 games and Origins wasn't even a full CRPG. I love BG3 and I'm sure I'll enjoy DATV and I'm glad they are different games.
Rant over, glad to be back Dantics.
It has been bugging me how people are saying this isn't Dragon Age but Origins is and like.... Origins is the odd one out, this game is technically more emblematic of Dragon Age as a series than Origins is, for better or worse.
@@ArlauxWitchdog Agreed! Like I get loving Origins, hell I stayed up 3 days straight as a teen playing it, but to expect any future Dragon age games to be like origins is nonsensical.
All I can say is where have you been brother?
Look I love Origins but I'm willing to give something new a go. Origins was made so long ago that fossils like me yelling about it being changed is like an old dude yelling for the kids to get off his lawn.
@@Dantics I've been on a spiritual journey of drugs, sex, and rock n roll. You covering DA takes me back to high school man. I think youtube did some fuck shit with subs, but don't worry, I resubbed.
@@KonigKaiser4 You're the man. Did you reach enlightenment? Ohh did you watch me during highschool? Man that makes me feel old. Welcome back!
I cautiously maintain a bit of hype, just in case xD but seeing as Tevinter features heavily in this game, I will be extremely dissapointed if they don't bring back blood mage as a playable option.. It has been missing since origins now!
You could be a blood mage in 2
I sure hope so. We know blood magic is in the game, but I hope there is a way to specialise in it - with consequences.
Same would make sense since we’re in Tevinter
@@andret3739 Must have blocked out 2 xD
2 blood mage was so fun and made me sad with the rift open you didn't get more utilized with blood especially with bloody corpses everywhere in DA:I
I believe Dragon Age Inquisition is a good game and I love it... I believe I will love this... But it just doesn't feel like Dragon Age to me anymore 🤔 it looks Final Fantasy ish, with a bit of Assassins Creed and Mass Effect in it 😅 It all just feel like a long way from Dragon Age Origins, and I know David Gaider said EA never understood why Origins was so popular. It truly feels more and more evident now
I enjoyed Inquisition but it had a few things that bothered me. Origins I loved. I agree it feels further way from Origins. I just feel maybe I am being an old man about it. Let's hope we are both wrong
I liked Inquisition too, but apart from a few key moments the game felt without direction to me. The open-world aspect was bloated, like the open-world of ME was mostly mind-numbingly boring. A more linear and highly curated sequel sounds right to me, as do the action-based direction of combat. The closer it gets for first-person, the more realistic and immersive it gets and I prefer it to the ponderous combat of Origins. Speaking of which, that game was in part popular due to Neverwinter Nights being a shallow shell of a game attempting to cash in on the popularity of Diablo. People were starving for something deeper. I'm critical of Veilguard, but for all its streamlined flashiness, it clearly has the depth that is more Bioware than anything else.
@RansomMemoryAccess I'm probably also being old about it 😂 but for those that rode the DAO rave, we saw and felt the changes more than those who became fans during DA2 or DAI. For those fans, DAO was just strange and couldn't see the hype about the game. They got a lot of new fans from DAI, and I'm sure they will get a lot more now with DAV. But the ones that has played DA from 2009... I think many will just not feel like they are becoming a part of a different franchise. It looks very pretty and the cinematics are cool, but I just cannot unsee ME and Assassins Creed in the interactions and combat. BG3 has proved that a game can have an open-world game with a functioning bird perspective combat, and a good leveling system and a fun and cool skill tree. And no, I am not a fan of Diablo 😂 but I am a fan of BG3. I probably should have given Diablo a chance tho 😂
Man I hope for the Qunari race we can get a Tal'va'shoth or followers of the Qun backstory
.
Starting with a faction may be good, but how about factionless?
Fully offline, no micro transactions, and single player? BioWare is really trying to get us hyped.
Except they are treating us like dumb fucks, and dumb down the combat to become twitchy fortnighty player reaction based and limit us to 3 lousy measly combat skill slots and no actual control of companions .. and limited to 2 other companions some more.
in exchange of self-insert companion of color and unattractive female companion? and a vibe of cartoonish palette? hardly a hype thing to begin with. i rather to trade EA account linking or MTX instead of woke crap.
The button masher on rails just doesn’t initially appeal to me. We will see after it’s out.
Agreed, button mashers can be ok if they have a rich and engaging game world to make up for it, but on rails? I don't think this one is for me
It looks great to me. I guess the original fans are pissed. I've never played 1-3. I started with inquisition. This shit looks awesome.
Still looks like crap
That's fair
My only issue (so far) is the companions. For me, there's only one companion who looks "romance worthy" and it's the Grey Warden. Others look wanky.
Dozens of hairstyles and EA sports physics, I can't wait!
Girls really didn't get a lot of choice with Hairstyles in Inquisition. My GF at the time was annoyed she had no good long hair options.
@@Dantics Wow
@Dantics I was annoyed at that, too. But that's the case in most games, sadly.
Most games just don't want to bother with hair physics
DAI hair infamously looked like wet spaghetti 🍝 💦
@@Dantics Yeah, even as playing as a masculine player it was annoying because of how ugly the hairstyles were. Ended up having to mod the hair and literally most of character creation. Would be cool to have a dd2 type character creation.
There's a misspelling in the thumbnail. It is Ridiculous, not "red-".
I'm old, so it's possible it's an intentional meme spelling I'm unaware of.
No no it wasn't intentional. Thanks for catching. Just made a few thumbnails quickly to test and missed that one.
@@Dantics Fair play, we all make mistakes.
I had a professor in England who used to put a little tick marks on the top right of the chalkboard every time we caught him making a mistake. When marks would mysteriously disappear, he'd blame it on the cleaning staff.
@@MrVvulfis this because he jokingly wanted to seem like he wasn't making many mistakes? 😅 sorry, i think it's funny but I'm not sure i quite get it
@@kairo175 The professor just had a good sense of humor and it was a way to keep the students engaged in the lessons - trying to catch if he made a mistake.
Not digging the cartoonish vibes. Would've rather them stick to the more mature look. That's really killing it for me.
Always one
You know what... I am tired of being skeptical. I have been really struggling with feeling like a grumpy old man about everything from Disney Star Wars to the current state of Bioware and Bethesda. The real world requires my skepticism, but this stuff is just supposed to be fun. I am simply going to be excited for this. I do not doubt that it will be fun on some level, even if it is not AS good as I want it to be (and it may well knock it out of the park, who knows?).
Either way. Really looking forward to it, and I am hoping they pull this off.
I'm tired of being grumpy too. I just want to enjoy things
you are the first person i've seen who hasnt been extremely doomer about this game, thank you for that! i love Dragon age and i have been waiting 10 years for this game!
I mostly worry about linking, or whatever we're gonna do, choices from previous games. I mean I have a whole world state ready in DA Keep, why I can't just upload it and have everything taken into account? If players are new to the story, or just don't want to use Keep - fine, let them manually choose tarot cards. But I don't mind logging to my EA account or Internet once in the beginning of the game to upload my world state once and for all. At least this way I'll know that all my decisions and choices from all three games are incorporated in how the fourth one goes.
Seriously, the revealed characters so far can enjoy each other's company. Poor Rook. The Warden got baddies like Morrigan, and Liliana. Hawk got Isabella, and its been a hot minute, but I think you could romance the elf chick in 2 as well. Inquisitor got the tsundere Cassandra, and the ever lovely Lady Montillie, she had no sex scene, but by god man! She's a lady! so of course my Inqisitor had to properly romance her and duel for her love. Asking her to marry me in trespasser was absolute peak. But every character I've seen so far? Let's just be friends eh lads?
Plus the elf in inquisition you throw the the bed off naked
Sera ("the elf chick in 2") could be romanced by female characters only.
@@BittermanAndy ahh there we go, been forever since I played lol.
First Final Fantasy XVI, and now Dragon Age. I am losing my RPG to the action game audience.... 😢
"They included everything people liked from past Dragon Age games." Also, "You can't control other party members, like you could in past Dragon Age games."
Can't wait to see what skills Mage will have, but I hope they have movement like Rogue and not rooted when attacking.
I liked Hintherlands. I never leave until its 100%.
14+ years of technological advancement and they are going to deliver the least open dragon age game yet...incredible. This screams of wasted budget.
I'm pretty sure Origins and 2 weren't open world, but enjoy this narrative you made
So when they made Dragon Age Keep for choices before Inquisition to affect the game and any future games... it's now completely useless after Inquisition???!!
Honestly, I'm glad it's not fully open. Inquisition, while cool, was just way too much. I loved the way DAO was set up and, even thought it wasn't open, it still felt open in that it felt like a fully fleshed out world that you could explore. As long as they don't go as closed as DA2, I'm happy. lol
"nudity" lol. Love how in 2024 that's a feature that sells games.
I really hope they fix the limited ability tree that inquisition had. The first 2 games have far more play style options.
So there not going to keep dragonkeep anymore and just use the tarot cards instead. That's good to keep things simple but bad for the player.
I mean 20 years since DAO, 10 since DAI, and on the other side of the world. 80% of Keep content isn't relevant to the story anymore, especially given where the narrative is at now. The big stuff will be accounted for and I think that's enough. We can keep the rest in our hearts lol
My understanding is that they needed to drop The Keep in order to have the game be fully playable offline. Presumably, this in-game version of the Keep will span all the way back to the first game. You'll also get to customize your Inquisitor (Mike Gamble commented that theyre in this game), though it also means you'll need to start from scratch.
If this is all true I'm so on board. I just hope we get more love for dwarves; culturally and lore wise I find them fascinating, and their lack of magical access makes them unique in the world. But there were so few dialogue options regarding magic for them in Inquisition, a game so focused on magic and the Fade, and it felt weird as a result.
If only people stopped for 2 seconds before jumping to the hate wagon.
There are differences between hate, critique and opinions.
BioWare has /a lot/ to make up for.
@crtxdistortion657 I hope you actually believe that because the amount of racism and transphobia in the last 3 day alone are drowning out the criticism. Especially with the DA0 purest crowd like yall should not be agreeing with people using your criticism as a cover up to be horrible people.
@@kinglywaves1474 I feel like the people who are "warriors" against racism and transphobia are very Phallophobic, so it's kinda a wash about who is in the right.
Enjoy the game bro, don't let the way I or anyone else feel's about the game change that. It looks more like a casino slot game to me, and the sound effects are just a nightmare. I was sick of the slashing and wooshes after about 10 seconds of combat. I can't imagine enduring 10 hours of it.
Just my opinion, Dragon Age has changed, and so have my tastes in gaming.
A story that caters to a mature audience and gameplay that appeals to 8 year olds, I don't think anyone will be happy. It just doesn't go together.
i agree with you
I understand not wanting too many quips, but I don’t want all of the humor gone. Dragon Age has always been funny, idk if some people forgot Alistair asking you if you’ve licked a lamppost in winter but that was not any sort of grimdark.
Honestly the party size is concerning to me. It looks like they are going the route of DA2 when it comes to combo abilities. That would mean I would be required to have the other two classes I'm not playing as in the party to make full use of it. Having that forth slot for a extra warrior/rogue/mage added some breathing room for building approval with companions and variety in banter while on the field.
I keep hoping Monolith releases something legendary like Shadow of War was. Back then we talked about Orc pit fights, Talion and Fort Sieges. Also whether you should boil em, mash em or stick em in a stew!
Damn that takes me back. Good times. Seemingly happier times where people were genuinely pumped for games. Monolith are working on a Wonder Woman game with the nemesis system. No idea what that will mean just yet.
sure we may not need DA keep, but i would like it to still be an option.
“If you want to […] make sure that every single action is planned out to your exact specifications, you can do that too.”
You literally can’t. It’s even said earlier in that doc.
????
Maybe we'll get to customize more than just the Inquisitor. Maybe we'll get to remake Hawke and the Warden
I heard Varric and Harding has the same voice actors from Inquisition, I'm curious if Solas has the same voice actor? He was fantastic!
Solas absolutely does have the same voice actor. Confirmed by the devs. twitter.com/GambleMike/status/1800560774169153939
Only that trio at that point may make me consider buying this game. But it all depends on writing to be honest.
@@Dantics Perfectemundo!
Hope it's great
Hope everyone enjoys it
Hope you don't waste your money like people did with Anthem.
Don't spend money until you're sure.
I get the feeling the rogue is a duelist and that magic attack is probably because of Shadow Dragons, would be interesting if its that way.
im so happy that the game is offline!! i dont have to login in ea just to play the game i bought,amazing
Don't forget to take a breath Dantics.
Cautiously optimistic is where I’m at. Will pick up. Never pre order
As a senior gamer, I hate the reliance on action combat with "parry windows," and other such things my reactions won't allow.
I'm with you. The good news is there will be the ability to tune those things at the start of the game.
@@Dantics There is so hope then but as older player I refuse to dodge and parry. Im to old for that shit. I hate 95% of soulslikes.
@@ExcessumGaming I don't mind most parry and dodge systems. I think some games implement them more to a casuals liking (myself included) unlike soulslike games (which I also despise).
@@ExcessumGaming For me I have a little carpal tunnel in my elbow. So I have to take it easy with action type games. In fact I haven't played any in the last 2 1/2 years. I'm hoping I won't have to turn the difficulty down to easy, I still prefer to play on normal. But yeah I don't give a crap about dodging. I will most likely be a mage my first playthrough anyways.
Shoulda just made the combat like Dragon's Dogma. Not 10 year old Arkham Asylum and Shadow of Mordor.
honestly when i herd that it had no micro transactions was was completely offline i was actually excited. I am honestly looking forward to it after all dragon age and mass effect are among my favoret games.
Did he say blight?? Hopefully we get to see the Hero of Ferelden. I miss my Dalish Elf.
My theory is that this game will end with hinting at the beginning of the 6th blight. It's possible that the 6th blight even begins during the game.
Imagine if you are a Warden and/or have the Warden companion and suddenly you get a vision of an Archdemon awakening.
Then they release an expansion for the game called The Sixth Blight. A 15 hour long new adventure that follows the end of the game where you must bring a Thedas that's reeling from a recent blight, and multiple demonic invasions, back together to yet again fight another blight.
Imagine, world state taken into account, seeing Fereldan warriors show up on the field of battle led by none other than Alistair, former Grey Warden and King of Fereldan.
@@matt-the-slayer8828 that would be awesome to be honest
@@twanD.specialist it seems like the blights are coming quicker and quicker between each one.
1200 years between 3rd and 4th.
400 years between 4th and 5th.
30ish years between 5th and 6th?
I imagine that the Dark spawn have been digging all over Thedas for a very long time, so they have to be closing in on all The Old Gods by now.
On top of that with the Veil potentially collapsing in this game, there is a lot of "energy" being pulled into Thedas from The Fade. The Old Gods were originally cast out of The Fade when the Tventir Imperium went into The Golden City at the behest of The Old Gods. They were buried deep in Thedas and put into a slumber. With this "energy" seeping into Thedas, it's possible an Old God could awaken before ever being corrupted.
@@twanD.specialist
Or you know, what about a double blight? 2 Archdemons are corrupted at the same time.
@@matt-the-slayer8828 if I remember correctly in an old interview it was confirmed that the Dark spawn are indeed looking for Old Gods. And that there are 4 still sleeping, well 3 since one is inside our child with Morrigan. I could be wrong since that was ages ago. Still excited for though!
Games NEED to stop relying on "hype." Period. If the content is actually good, the gameplay is solid and the mechanics aren't too convoluted - with no bullshit fetch quests or collectathons all over the map just because Ubisoft, then players WILL buy it. Especially if the game DOESN'T end up needing to be patched right off the bat to be any sort of playable, or half the good content is locked behind "DLC." Hype can only take you so far. Bethesda's learned that the hard way. Otherwise if you can't live up to the promise, all you'll get for it is customers walking out the door.
Deep roots in Thedas is BULLSHIT. We've never heard of at least 3 of these factions at all in any game (I don't count comics or novels - I should NOT have to do extra "homework" just to know what's going on) and by the way holding an extra potion is NOT a "buff." That's not even really a freaking benefit. What. The. Fuck?
Also Also - what the fuck did they do to Varric??? Jesus that just makes him look ugly... >.
Hey, do you think the missions are hand crafted and curated?
I get nervous when companies do that. It's like them telling you indirectly that something about the game is going to suck, so they want to make you focus on this other aspect instead, so you don't hopefully notice the first part sucks.
They made it this way because it's what fans asked for. DAI's world was pretty and had engaging stuff in it, but was ultimately too big and bloated and that was a consistent complaint. DAO didn't have an open world but a system similar to what DAV sounds like, curated spaces that allowed for some exploration but was filled with specific visuals, enemies, and story beats to find. The impression I got is it's a mix between DAI and DAO's style, DAO's curation with more of DAI's size.
I'm always curious about the romance in BW games. But gotta say, I'm SO not interested in any of the characters in Drea.. I mean Veilguard. Harding? No, fudge no. Neve? nah, but..maybe. That other veiljumper or whatever she is? pfft. She boarded the wrong train, she's supposed to go with the kids to the amusement park, not be in a dark fantasy Adult-ish rated game.
So, this is the first time I honestly dont give a flying fudge about romance, or if the devs decided to forcefeed me lbgtarafdaesrfc+ bullshit.
Boob sliders would be nice, but then again, wont play as a female, so..meh.
Not really super hyped after this video, but slightly more than before. All the interviews were just the director, producer, or whatever, bragging and telling us how GREAT everything they've done in the game is. Well of -effing-course you do, you cant say "well this part of the game blows", right? Sadly too many people are SO easily fooled and swayed by PR bullsh-t.
Romance/sex scenes can get a bit "spicy" ? pfft, I bet you, at MOST we might see a bit of side or underboob. This aint BG3. This is at the end of the day, BORING Electronic Arts.
They brag about how deep the characters are that we can romance. Then they also effing better make the romance feel believable, and with a nice pay-off in the end. Not just some "wanna shag? cool, lets go" followed by "fade to black" followed by "characters clothed again and just acts like nothing happened".
I BET there wont be actual nudity or 'spicy' scenes. Again, PR bullcrap. The need to build hype, and everyone has seen how much BG3 was 'praised' for (well a lot of things) their mature romance scenes. IF Bioware doesn't show us a snippet of a 'spicy' scene prior to launch, you can bet your a$$ that it's nothing special. If it really was 'awesome' they would gladly show it to cater to the people that pay attention to the romance/naughty part of the story. But trust me, you won't see a single nipple, or even a strand of pubic hair, not even the outlines. Well maybe like I said, perhaps a tiny glimpse of a side/under boob. That is ALL we'll get.
In the end it doesnt matter. My point isn't that I want this to turn into a p0rn game, my point is that you should NEVER trust developers/PR people when they talk about their OWN stuff.
It's like me writing here that dont read my comment, it's just full of lies and bullcrap. It's like every youtuber would stop with clickbait titles and thumbnails. EVERYONE lies if it favors them, which it usually does. Anyone that gets hyped by what anyone related to Bioware or EA says about an upcoming game, are simply put, a retard. Probably the same person that pre-ordered games like The Day Before despite all the evidence it's a scam.
I dont care if Hawke or Allistair shows up in Veilguard, both are super boring characters. There's 2 names and a phrase I'll use to let you know the ONLY 'old' characters I WANT to see in Veilguard one way or another:
1. Leliana
2. Morrigan
3. Enchantments?
Dont care for the 'main' characters in Veilguard, they all look boring as fudge. Give me Morrigan, heck throw in Flemeth to if possible. Couldn't care less about Harding, Neve, nor the others, nor do I care if Hawke or Allistair or those makes a cameo. But a DA game without Leliana and Morrigan? That's like taking out Chocobos from a Final Fantasy game.
I'll do have to give a couple of gold star to BW/EA though. NO MTX. Awesome. And no account linking nor online requirement. Yay. I sure hope that then means we do NOT need to use the incredibly crappy EA launcher. I wont ever, EVER have that sh-t on my computer ever again, even if it means losing out on DA and ME in the future.
I'm really curious about WHEN the game will come out, exactly when. Because we got a few other somewhat interesting game the last half of 2024. "
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2" - "Star Wars Outlaws"(yawn) - "AC: Shadows" (seems decent) And at least one more I forgot. But still this is at least a total of 4 games, that will all come out between August 31(or 30? i dunno) and Dec 31. That's like one game each month. Outlaws in August. AC in November. That leaves October and December. When is KCD2 coming out? And when is DA: V coming out.
All in all, despite being pretty "meh" about both the Ubicrap titles, I honestly think, (at the moment at least) I would jump on both of them before Dragon Age. DA sadly doesn't tempt me still. Combat is just another action crap for the kids with zero attention span. But at least we have BG3, for a REAL RPG feeling.
Just why, why is it so forbidden to have *attractive* women in todays' games? Here we get a dwarf, a kid or whatever, and a black (not meant in a racist way, I just dont feel attracted) with a hat that looks dumb af. Seriously, even if we were stranded on a desert island, and you had to pick one of these "women" to be your partner, I would opt for "I'll be by myself, thank you"
At the end of the day, let's at least PRAY that this turns into a good game. Combat is a big part of the game, and the combat sucks, so it aint looking 'great' for now. Characters are far from attractive nor interesting. But at least there's no mtx and no online requirement -as if THAT would suddenly make me go "oh shit, let's pre-order right away". Some people are so dumb/gullable...dont you value your money? Wanna throw money away? Donate to charity, there's actually people in the world whose life you might even SAVE, instead of throwing money at empty promises. But hey..humans are selfish..your OWN possible entertainment comes first, other people ..well they're at the bottom of the list. Right?
When they say your faction will influence the start… my theory is that it will change which of the companions you meet first.
I hope so, that would be a nice little addition. But I feel as though it won't just because it would fundamentally change the start. You need Neve because she's the detective tracking down Solas.
I don't give a single shit, going Grey Warden full in.
I don't like the idea that all companions are romancible by whoever. It doesn't make sense. There's so much diversity, in the world of Thedas and to take away realistic diversity of sexuality seems kind of like an insult.
To be fair dragon age is a world where people can throw fireballs by thinking hard, you can talk to the actual concept of Justice or sloth, alchemy is more than just primitive ritualistic chemistry and you traveled to an alternate dimension when you dream. Realism isn't exactly dragon age a strong suit. Besides it's a fantasy world maybe things like sexual orientation is a lot more diverse than it is in our. Of course it's also possible Rook it's so incredibly attractive that people are willing to overlook gender.
If Veilguard is better than Dragon Age 2, I'll be happy enough. If it's better than Dragon Age Inquisition, I'll be impressed. If it's better than Dragon Age Origins, I'll be surprised
I just finished a Dragon Age Inquisition playthrough, I restarted my World States over the moment I got them on Steam. I doubt my current computer can handle Veilguard, so I'll probably start on PS5 and *gulp* play without mods
Rogue is my favorite class, but warriors could use a bow too in Dragon Age Origins. In the sequels, it's only templars that could use bows as warriors (unless Alister lied about only warriors could be templars lol 🤪)
If you can't control your companions, how do warriors and mages handle locks 🤔, do companions just run up and do it for you like when you have the first game's lock bash mod
I'm definitely looking forward to a Harding romance 😍, if the male protagonist has nobody unique, it'll be Cirilla Hawke all over again. Male Warden could have Morrigan, Male Inky had Cassandra and Male Hawke had anyone lady Hawke could
If we're not using the keep, I sure hope they still keep it around, some of us like to replay Dragon Age Inquisition. Too bad they didn't just put the tapestry at the start of the game so when your Internet is out. . . .
Well if the Keep became a dead link, maybe modders will put the tapestry at the start of the game 👍
Man, it's hilarious how terrified the blowback from that horrible first trailer made them. Now they're just throeing everything out in a desperate attempt at damage control.
"It's hilarious that the gameplay reveal that they announced over a week before the announcement trailer was released was put out solely because of the reaction to the announcement trailer"
Or hear me out, they had all of this finalized well ahead of time and ready to reveal gradually like they are doing now and just didn't expect the companion trailer to be as ill received as it was, but nevertheless are moving forward with their plans. Yeah, that sounds significantly more logical but who knows.
I think they anticipated the trailer being bad. They don't have control over the trailers, they aren't made in house. Devs were telling fans to just wait for the gameplay reveal, which was the real trailer and the one they announced first. In fact the devs never mentioned the 'official' trailer reveal at all, it came as a surprise on the 10th. DA trailers have never been great, but EA's marketing team was really off with this one. My guess is they hoped to pull in the younger crowd that don't play RPGs as much.
At long last, I can make a short, curvy human and pretend she's a half-dwarven mage! And YES, oversized bosoms deserve representation too! Plus I'm gonna be generous with the bulge slider on my male elf Rook, so I wouldn't be able to talk regardless. 😂I feel you on the LIs. The males all look the same body type, even the elf, and I'm not really feeling it rn. Don't understand this trend of making all LIs for the male-attracted the same shape (looking at you in particular, BG3, though I love you dearly.) But Scout Harding is a character I adore, so maybe I'll have some adorable dwarven mage on half-dwarven mage action.
Dragon Age Inquisition is still one of my favorite games of all time. So if this game can give me a similar vibe, I’m down for it. The gameplay trailer gives me hope. Hopefully more information coming out will get me more excited.
if this action rpg has the same depth as elden ring in combat and cRPG like depth in skill system and dialogue plus deeply customizable team mates (complex rules) it wil be good. If its just inquistion 2 it will be plainly mediocre..
Elements of this game should be compared to Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, PoE2, Dragons Dogma 2 etc..
So a vast skill tree yet only three active skills? Thats kinda wack.
I guess that if you are on pc they will handle it like at the previous game, you get a hotbar from 1 - 0
I get the impression from screenshots and things the devs have said that there will actually be four active. 3 main and one finisher. But did you catch the article about skills trees? apparaently there are large spiderweb skilltrees for each class, with 3 specs per class. seems like many abilities will be talents or passives with some core active abilities. 4 feels a lot better to me than 3, so im not as mad about it
@@Anthony-pq4vr but it's a huge downgrade to the other games where I had multiple abilities
@@lucariopokemon13 i guess. but i get the impression there are so many talents and passives it will highly impact everything even how your auto attacks work, so there will still be lots of customization. will have to wait and see tho!
@@Anthony-pq4vrSounds like inquisition, I'm afraid they're using that as their metric for "large spiderweb skill tree"
The art style is just not it for me. Completely loses the grit and grimdark of the DA universe. Saw it coming with Inquisition but didnt expect it to be this drastic. Looks like Fortnite/Overwatch/Dragon Age love child. Still may play it as a big DA fan but yeah deflating
I wonder if there will by any *companion* customization in the game. At least hairstyles, outfits, etc. Or if we're stuck with their current designs (of which I am not a fan) forever. Great summary, the more information we can get early on, the better. Thanks!
Somehow I doubt it very much. If there is customisation, it'll just be their gear and weapons. Thanks for watching!
There never was any non-player customization of how characters looked like. Here we will get an option to customize the Inquisitor. And I'm sure that when it comes to the character customization of player character there will be no bust size slider. I reaaaly doubt the current Bioware would allow that.
@@chillax319 They said the body was fully customizable, height, thickness, everything. This is a dumb childish thing to say lol modern games aren't against people being hot
I'm seeing a pattern here, DAO was the holy Grail of the series then DAE (DA2 was going to be called Exodus) was a lackluster fledgling sequel, DAI became a narrative successor even if not gameplay wise, this game is a design lackluster fledgling while gameplay a story and all else looks promising.
Boob sliders and package sliders, here comes the disapproving nun😂
Andromeda was practically George Jetson in Mass Effect but if you want your utopianistic star trekkie sci-fi game, you get it.
As for this game, don't hold your breath as this being the end product, they've made promises and said things in the past that never showed up so long as EA is breathing down their necks. When they announce a release date and it is in our hands assuming we get there then we will see if their words struck true.
Sounds more and more like it is built like Andromeda. At least in terms of combat style, dialogue options and skills/abilities. Combat was fun in that game, but I hated having 15 abilities but could only ever use 3 at a time, and it was a pain in the glute to setup and shift around.
There has been nothing on inventory management, but seeing as both DA:I and ME:A's inventory suuuucked balls, I have no great expectations in this game either.
But I loved the lore and story of Origins, and most of the companions in following games (especially Varric). So I might check this out, if the reviews are positive.
If they kill off Varric early on, then I'm out. Fuck 'em ;)
They can't kill Varric off right? RIGHT?!
@@Dantics riiiight
@@TempestDK I really hope not.
Well as soon as I find out more about inventory and gear I'll let you all know.
I love Varric, but he is greatly overused. 3rd game now he's in, and past two in a row as a party member. Then tons of focus in the comics too. I am okay with them possibly passing, if so I want to be a great death scene, make that shit hurt, make me cry, be anger at who killed him, have it be brutal. Emotionally fucked up me Bioware 🥲👍
But also have a secret way to avoid his death too, like Goro Takamura from Cyberpunk 2077, that be dope too.
@@HyouVizer Overused? .. he hasn't been in a game in almost a decade. He is the thread that binds the last couple of games together, since each protagonist is different.
Also that would be like saying that Garrus, Tali or Liara were overused in ME 1-3. I don't think anyone would say they were, even if they were part of each game.
But since he obviously won't be a companion, I doubt he will have as big a role to play this time, as in the past two games.
I love how much people hated the Hinterlands because I honestly loved it. It's really not that big at all, but I get that it feels that way. The Hissing Waste was exhausting to me personally. But I loved each area for the worldbuilding it provided though they definitely could have done the whole exploration/quest associations a lot better so everything didn't feel so daunting and large. Hope they learned from that. The release actually has me replaying Inquisition at the moment. I wasn't sure if I'll play Veil Guard only because of what EA/Bioware has done to its staff, but I'll need to do some more digging to make my full decision. This series and Horizon Zero Dawn got me through 6 years of domestic violence and going on 7 years of the after once I was free. I've written 13 fics for Dragon Age and made some amazing friends through the fandom. Saying goodbye leaves a melancholy taste in my mouth and I'm not sure I want to let go of the next game just yet. (Also really hoping people stop b*tching about the game so much because it's exhausting and 99% of what I've read and seen has been so damn petty. Everyone pissed on the previous games' trailers but then praised the game once it was out. It's just the same ol' shit now.
Incredibly well done. I like it when the narrator speaks quickly but uses that to convey more details on the game not so much about their perceptions. Both are good but I think learning of the game in this case is more helpful. Afterall, we'll all judge for ourselves eventually. Very nice job. I appreciate your style.
I am a bit concerned about the lack of active abilities as a mage main. But I [do] enjoy ARPGs so im willing to give it a shot but 3 spells outside of combos feels kinda wack.
5 abilities they say but two are obviously basic attack and the hipfire option they talk about. Sure I'd bet mods can fix that but I'm sure that'll break the game when your mage is throwing around 5 control spells instead of the 1 aoe damage, 1 control, and one free type. Hopefully you unlock more sets of skills as you progress, start with 1 then up to like 3 or 4 total for 9-12 total actives you can toggle through in tactical view.
Im also kinda concerned about the companions, there was no health bars to be seen so like can they get knocked or are they just support features
