Oooo! I have a tip I haven’t seen yet. Destroy EVERYTHING! Every box, jar, everything in the environment. You get loot like heartwood AND gold from destroying jars, wood boxes, some carts, etc. ❤
Thank you very much Dantics for your clear explanation of the combat system. In particular, I wasn't really sure what the yellow/red half-circles above my figure meant. Now I can parry too. Thanks again!
Ya Im one of them look at the characters and listen to the dialogue it's awkward as fuck and if u look at old dragon age it's almost like it's a completely different world
@ I understand not liking the game but what does hating it do for you? Raising your blood pressure over a video game isn't worth it. If you don't like the game, don't buy it and leave it at that
@@DeadlyBeast205 why that why the company's keep getting away with this garbage slop ppl can say criticism about something that's bad end of story plz stop defending garbage
Regarding Crows vs. Shadow Dragons, you can get enough upgrade materials before the decision to upgrade the Crows to shop rank 3 and the Shadow Dragons can even be upgraded to shop rank 4. But to get enough faction strength you need to farm valuables. Best location for this is on the first mission with Neve where the elevator isn't working. She opens up a path through a warehouse full of vases, just smash most of them, save, reload, repeat ... this gives tons of gold, material and valuables. Although getting 3200 faction strength needs a lot of valuables.
@@hunterlavish No, for upgrading them you need a special upgrade ressource. Rank 3 needs 5 and rank 4 needs another 15 of them. At this point of the game your only source for this upgrade ressource is a side quest in the Veil Jumper area. The side quest gives you exactly 5 of the upgrade ressource.
I didnt do any vendor min maxing and was able to get all factions max strength without issues. My Crows were level 2 before and were 3200 strength well before i needed them to be.
These 6 years old can't even listen longer than 5 seconds to know you put "that" joke upfront on purpose, and still have to leave that in the comment. With that maturity, no wonder they care so much what other people think about the game and have to be miserable and childish every second possible.
definately some good advice. im upping that parry window and swapping my buttons around. bow and the quick powers menu feel backwarrds. all those years playing shooters
Yeah I tried to remap/flip the triggers but for some reason right trigger is mapped to two functions… and it wouldn’t let me remap left to both of those functions
I wish they made it easier to see which junk goes to which faction. I've been playing the guessing game and trying to remember which stuff goes to which.
i got a notification that you made this video and i couldnt remember what this channel was about at all. the second i heard your voice a rush of memories hit me knocking me out of my chair. i followed you when you covered anthem lmao what a time.
Role play is always priority one for me in a role play game (even an action RPG) so I am using ALL companions. I just try to mix and match so I always have companions with me who can combo with each other.
Well, I wouldn't say the "which junk goes to what faction" is obvious. I thought I had the Crows figured out (drinks and fancy stuff), but only like one of the drinks I sold got a bonus...
Have a crazy staff build for you. Meteor / entropy sphere / corrupted ground - with vile projectiles skill for auto crits/spreading affliction like MAD Meteor still cost 2 but you regen so fast I hardly use my staff attacks except on bosses. Due to carastes double hat (25% cost refund - downside is all skills must share a type ) - miners talisman for 25 mana on area hits so each cast of Meteor refunds 1 bar with just gear... Passives for area and duration make them so large they hit so many enemies it's insane. And grant ridiculous amount of advantages like enhanced dmg. Resistance rally party ect... taking advantage of 10% dmg buff for each one. With enchantments and companion gear your auto critical will apply so many afflictions. . . Enchantment ring for bleed on ability crit, and companions have "keepsakes" that grant afflictions on critical hits. I use corrupted ground to spread necrosis and then use entropic sphere to hit everyone with critical damage spreading bleed and shocked or chill depending on neve or Ballara keepsake. Then slam with Meteor and watch the health bars delete. Im on underdog difficulty and it's not hard though this build is late game skill point heavy. You need to spread all over the board to get these skills. Ring enchantment gives mana. My spellblade gives mana and staffs can give mana (flamebranch). Its a very odd build but it seriously slaps hard... the build i used before this used chain lightning and tempest with corrupted ground and it worked great just to get me to the endgame. Where i could use Meteor with the legendary helmet
How did you manage to get the Antivan crow shop max level before the post Davrin recruitment major decision quest? I couldn't manage to get that faction past the first star rank before the important decision point.
ENDLESS exploration. Explore the crossroads as much as you can. You’ll find a few minor side quests in other hubs too. I basically ended up loading an older save and grinded a lot to get enough resources to upgrade the store. All crates and pots respawn every time you visit a hub too. A large part of many hub worlds and the crossroads were still off limits but yeah. I got the Crows vendor to rank 3
It's impossible to rank the Crows to shop rank 4. Shop rank 2 is easy, for rank 3 and 4 you need rare upgrade materials and faction strength. Faction strength can be solved by destroying lots of vases, which can yield valuables .. then save, reload, repeat. But there is only one source for upgrade materials that the Crows need - it's a sidequest in the Veil Jumpers map and you only get 5 which is enough for shop rank 3 but for shop rank 4 you would need another 15 of them. For Shadow Dragons shop rank 4 is possible as they need a different kind of upgrade material and you can find 20+ of them before the decision.
I chose to help Treviso because like Lucanis said it's a merchant city and doesn't have any defenses and I felt like minrathous is tough because it's full of mages and can handle itself well. I hope I haven't chosen wrong. I really like Neve and hope she forgives me 😢
Glad i came by this when i did i just got the game and I'm still in the early stages i did sell everything to the elven settlement the one you meet when you first leave the fade so I'm hoping that doeant impact me to much but i am glad i saw this before that major decision
I have a problem with this game, there are bosses that I kill and I can't open the unique chest that they die in, nor the statues that give you extra life.
hey, will definitely watch this, but i was wondering how spoiler free this video is? im VERY early on and somehow have managed to know nearly nothing so i might wait til im a bit further in before watching it (did watch the first ten seconds to see what everyone was commenting about!) also, if its spoiler free, i'd put that in the title, because i almost didnt click and there are others im avoiding because of the ambiguity too, so you'll get more views. if this video DOES have spoilers, i'll come back in a few days.....
It's like dragonage but without the deep rpg system, likable companions, gritty art style, clever writing or any real diversity. It's basically identical!
@@Guava11534 For real, it has everything it's just slightly different. I remember when people shit on DA:2 and now you have people saying it's one of the best lol.
@@burns0100 yeah the one thing I’ll admit it doesn’t have is the gritty artstyle. It’s definitely stylized different. That’s not to say the game isn’t dark. I’m going to give a slight spoiler just to provide an example because reviewers love to say this game isn’t dark at all. I was doing a side quest in Minrathous where a lady asked me to find her missing husband. Eventually I tracked him down to a storage room that led to an underground cavern. There I found several mutilated bodies including the husband. Turns out the killer was sacrificing people with blood magic to bring back his dead child.
I’m so conflicted over the first major decision that I have played out both versions… Now I’m going back to my level 9 save (go to 19) so I can make sure all side missions are done before recruiting Davrin…
lmao as a soulsborne player the parry windows are SO WEIRD in this game, they're incredibly wide and... early??? it's like my parry has no start-up frames.
I have been wondering if.... there's lots of stuff you can buy at shops that are different Rarities I wonder if you're supposed to buy from certain shops to then go and sell to faction shops for more points I assume the higher the Rarity of item the more points you get toward that faction. I haven't had a chance to figure this out yet myself I do not have endgame funds LOL I still haven't even collected all of my people yet. When does game came out I was planning on hunkering down for a week straight and only playing the game man life just makes you be a grown up :( lol
Well, here is what I'm finding... if you DO NOT support Minrathous, you cannot get the best ending, period. I think this is a stupid choice by the devs, as it pretty much forces everyone to select saving the slaver city, and punished them if they don't.
0:58 Um you won’t spoil more but you literally show the scene… Also you didn’t mention this choice decision apparently locks you out of a romance. Wth BioWare 😑😒 I like the game throws it at you unexpectedly but not a fan of locking out the romances for story choices.
@ hopefully my comment didn’t read as snarky, that wasn’t my intention my bad. w the election coming up and everything being so political I’ve been trying to minimize it all to keep my sanity lol. love ur vids tho and hope you’ve been able to (relatively) enjoy the game.
@@topblokehere6579 yeh they're shady as hell. Veilguard kind if ignores that fact but from Origins it was revealed how the crows steal and train children

Its a good time! Heading into my next play through! Spellblade here I come!
@davidsprenkle2641 when even skillup shreds the game, and he's usually pretty even keeled, that says something. I don't like aRPGs for the most part, I wanted something more DAI instead of DA2. But even this one is is less tactical with your entire party having all skills locked after using one. The combo systems makes party members less important than ever, so long as you can combo it doesn't really matter. There's a lot of gameplay things I just can't get on board with. And I won't give money to people I can't support who, not a single one, weren't a part of even the development of DAI.
@@narcosys6934 "Even skillup"? Sounds like you may be cherry-picking someone that conveniently agrees with you? I've seen a range of opinion, from "Game of the Year" hyperbole to "worse RPG ever." Both are extreme positions, I think. So far, I think this game plays a lot like DA2, for better or worse. And it's been 10 years since DAI, so I'm not exactly expecting continuity in the ranks of the developers. I just want them to give me a fun game that's true (enough) to the lore. And it's the lore folks who seem most enthusiastic, by the way. Way too much of the negativity seems to have arisen from the "anti-woke" crowd. Since Bioware has always been on the side of "woke" (whatever the heck that is), and since I'm not upside at all by this "woke game" talk, I'm not going to be scared off by politically motivated dog-piling. And so far I think my instincts were right. I'm enjoying the game :)
@@davidsprenkle2641 Most of the reviews I have seen generally rate it as "meh" which is what I would have expected from Skillup. I have seen the positive reviews, but most of them are from people who like aRPGs more, and/or have never played any of the previous dragon age games. So I can't take their opinion seriously, especially if they never played a previous DA game. Their opinion is negated at that point for me. I could get over it playing like DA2 if it still felt like a dragon age game. That it was still a dark and gritty fantasy game, but it isnt. The look of characters, the story itself, the character dialogue and interactions, all have been made severely PG compared to all other DA games. You can't be a jerk in this game. The amount of time Rook apologizes, or says he understands their feelings is laughable. Even when you try to be a jerk, the actual dialogue that comes out is still bland. Where are the days when you cold tell a guy off, tell him he's free to go, and then throw a dagger in the back of their head? That actually happened in DAO. So its more than just the gameplay, but it is about the entire spirit of what DA was that has been neglected. Even Elgarnan looks and acts just like Braniac from Injustice 2, even sounds the same. Forget the hyperbole around the politics of it all, the writers and developers were just not up to the standards of the previous Bioware team that created the first 3.
Don't make the mistake of believing it's a Dragon Age game that actually cares about the choices you've made and characters you've met in the years leading up to Veilguard's launch. Return to Dragon Age Origins.

I refunded, don't worry I won't...
The only critical mistake anyone can make is to buy this garbage of a game.
Bought It, It's Great.
compared to inquisition this game is lame
1. Buying Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Hahahaha listen to the first few seconds of this video, I already made the joke.
Who’s joking 😅
@@Dantics what joke
@@ThinkingCap_You people are obsessively pathetic.
Well played with the video, yep not buying it is the best thing to do.
The only critical mistake is buying this WOKE trash
You couldn't even listen to the first 5 seconds of the video. I put that joke UP FRONT
@@Dantics I listened to, I just support your comment
@@nael615The only mistake here is your parents meeting 😂
@@Kassadin8088and who stepped on your tail?
Only mistake is your still awake with verbal diahorrea 😮
guying the game is a critical mistake for real
Yes, you are definitely "guying" this game :)
1: Don't buy this awful game
You: Calls It Awful
Also You: Didn't Even Play It
The first mistake veilguard made was existing
The mistake is letting people who have the creativity of a rock make this game 🤷🗿
Thanks for the heads up, won't buy the game. Didn't listen past that part so I hope you stand by it!
Your Loss
