Glad you're excited for it, so am I. It's nice to hear an opinion from someone who started with Inquisition. I was a day one Origins player, and really, it became my fave franchise. It's been such a long wait, but I love the look of it. I don't think anyone can complain about the combat yet, we don't have it in our hands, though I wish we could have three companions again. But hey, again, we'll just have to wait and see. I think it looks it really promising, and as all DA fans know, story is king here. It sure is looking juicy so far!
Dragon Age is all about the characters and stories, which is why I’m a fan of these games. I’m not too big on the whole “dark fantasy” elements or “dnd esc” gameplay (I’m more of a fan with the Baldur’s Gate 3 tactical gameplay). As long as I get to explore northern Thedas and romance the new companions, I’m ok with what ever Veilguard has to offer.
I have no notes. Origins is still incredible make no mistake but yes Inquisition got me so good that I cannot escape Thedas nor I don't want to. We got so fucking little revealed so far all we can do is speculate and devour the gameplay and that is truly for better and worse.
The combat point has always been subjective. I play both precision based games like elden ring and hollow knight as well as turn based games.. There's a place and an appeal to both.
The dragon age issue comes from the desire, by the studio, to change their target audience of the franchise. This is what I believe is the source of this debate. It's been clear for years, and I think becomes clearer with each release, that Bioware wants to appeal to a more contemporary fanbase (like the one for mass effect), many of which would not appreciate the type of gameplay that games like origins had. This is neither good or bad, but I'm just pointing out that many people got into Bioware games due to their love for that type of gameplay from kotor, BG2 and origins, which the company no longer provides. It's not because they don't understand what they are talking about or have "no grounds to argue on". The company changed and they are still nostalgic for the old Bioware. Modern fans of course don't care and prefer what the company is doing now
If you compare them to the likes of Larian studio, all their modern games clearly appeal to a similar audience (DOS, DOS2, BG3). They fine-tune the games and improve their mechanics, but the games are clearly meant to appeal to the same type of player. Bioware makes much more drastic changes from game to game (especially with dragon age) so it almost always leaves some players behind. If you try each of the dragon age games, they all play completely differently. Only cosmetic similarities remain, like the classes, the spells and the fact that it's still a party of fighters taking on pride demons, mages, Templars etc..
And to answer the question you asked around "what's wrong with 2 companions?", for Bioware games i think it would be less dialogue. A big appeal to the party is their banter. If you reduce the characters, you get less of the combinations without having to swap out more characters since you have one less
From what has been released so far this is the first time Bioware is locking down on companion narratives in conjunction to the sotry as opposed to the companions being around for the story. 2 companions doesn't mean we wont have limited dialogue and considering whats been said it seems that this will allow are more intimate experience. Crazy how companions questing dialogue was like a throw away add on but was always one of the best parts of companion voice/personality development. As for your intellectual comments on game-play and modern vs original Bioware - no notes I came in during DAI and playing DAO I was so turned off by gameplay and since I have no nostalgia worm telling me its the best I got to experience it as such. If anyone tried to challenge DAO story their are crazy but gameplay? FOR ME? too slow but for a fantasy rpg? I'll pretty much do anything LOL.
Such a great take thx for the read and for taking the time to even listen to me rant I have NO ONE in my life that is on my level of.....fascination lets say lol.
I am going to get on board since I’ve been a huge Dragon Age fan since Origins. I’ve played all 3 games, I’ve read all of the comics and novels and watch both the computer animated movie Dawn of the Seeker and the Netflix show Absolution. I can’t wait to play this game in the Fall of 2024.
First walkthrough, I'm going to make a red haired Male Elf Warrior, making him similar to Denji from Chainsaw Man. I'll name him Denarus. Or I'll make an albino Male Elf Warrior that looks a lot like Alphen from Tales of Arise and name him Alphen.
Second walkthrough, I'm going to make a blonde Female Dwarf Rogue, making her a bit similar to Sophitia from Soul Calibur. I'll name her Sophia. Or I'm going make a Female Dwarf Warrior with short brown hair and make her very similar to Beatrix from Zom 100, naming her Beatrice.
Third Walkthrough, I'm going to make a dark haired Female Human Mage, making her very similar to Touka from Tokyo Ghoul. I'll name her Tina. Or I'm going to make a brown haired Female Human Mage who looks a lot like Shizuka from Zom 100, and name her Shirley.
Fourth Walkthrough, I'm going to make an albino Male Qunari Warrior, making him somewhat similar to that of Goliath from Gargoyles. I'll name him Golinok. Or I'm going to make a Male Qunari Warrior with a Mohawk and make him look a lot like Kongol from Legend of Dragoon, maybe naming him Kondar.
Here’s which companion I’m going to romance as well as bring to my party
Denji or Alphen the Elven Warrior, romancing Harding while taking Emmrich with me on my team.
Sophitia or Beatrix the Dwarven Rogue, romancing Darvin while taking Neve with me on my team.
Touka or Shizuka the Human Mage, romancing Lucanis while taking Taash with me on my team.
Goliath or Kongol the Qunari Warrior, romancing Bellara while taking Emmrich with me on my team.
BITCH I FUCKING LOVE BEING 'STORYSEXUAL' Cannon DAI play-through is a Female Knightenchanter Qunari that romanced Sera. Sometimes shit just hits right.
You are so right my guy. I will never get how anyone says this game looks bad. The game looks gorgeous and the gameplay looks pretty cool. There are issues to take with it but everything they say is just so dumb. They will look for anything to hate. No matter what it is.
WE are right. At least so far LOL
@@_Thaery and I take joy in that.
Who in their right mind thought Spider-Man 2 was game of the year over Baldur's Gate 3? Maybe young kids who didn't play BG3, otherwise that just sounds silly.
@@MrDay53 there was many! And they weren’t all young they were round my age 20-30. THEN however after BG3 dominated the gaming award many gave it a shot which then of course led to them changing their mind. The point is: most people that are loud are the same-gamers that haven’t played DA in its entirety.
Spiderman 2 had really fun combat. BG3's combat was for me barely tolerable. The story made it worth it. But plenty of people aren't into micromanaging team mates. My favourite game last year was Starfield. Yell at me if you like, but I LOVED playing a space pirate, in a tardigrade costume.
@@RandomWandrer That's cool. I personally am a fan of the micromanaging. Starfield is fun wasn't my favourite game of last year but still fun. Really looking forward to the Shattered Space Space DLC.
@@RandomWandrerthe best part about art is that you don’t have to have a real reason to enjoy it. The issue is not in the expression of joy - but how for some reason in that expression it triggers some people INTO fits of rage and aggression. Which is sadly. The DAV situation.
Seriously, I’m already making the funeral arrangements if this game does poorly to EA standards and they axe BioWare. We don’t need more bs Origin fanboys talking about “it’s not a dark fantasy anymore “
But forgetting that the world of Thedas is NOT supposed to be like that. It was going through a blight which is the apocalypse for the world and the Wardens stopped it. We get that.
But I guess they think it is supposed to always stay like that for all sequels and it just isn’t what the devs want. They ASSUMED what Dragon Age is about and are disappointed by their false expectations. To the point that they are making stuff up to justify not liking the new game. The disgruntled ex if you will lol.
Also there are some things I’m against per se (like the dialogue wheel but that’s for every game that uses it, so nothing special.) but some critics are just being a bit silly for stuff we haven’t seen/experienced yet.
Especially the story. This stupid rumor that all the writers for this game are all new and all the old ones left (and they infer it like it was because they didn’t like how dragon age was heading) BUT just ignore most of them have been on past dragon age titles INCLUDING their beloved Origins. That the old guard left amicably or went to different projects for BioWare.
Also the combat is FINALLY something that is enjoyable from what we’ve seen. Inquisitions combat is on the line of terrible. Until we get the specializations, the combat is dull and single button mashing, and even then it isn’t ground breaking. Ever since the second game, they tried to keep Origins tactical mechanics but clearly wanted to make the combat to be fluid. Now they just want to be more real time without too much pauses in between. The only three skills for each unit and only having you and two companions IS a bummer. But I do think it is for the best to make Rook way more important.
Also I like how the spirits look, especially lore wise! The viel is coming down, so obviously the demons are becoming more of their natural look! Especially if the fade is affecting them!
All we can do is hope -> also your mind? TOTALLY Thedas is not 'supposed' to look as it did in Origins its like I knew that? but now that you said it as this I actually understand that. I am so pleased that many neutral 'truthers' have displayed themselves on my video very very very pleased. Inquisition combat was........tedious even if its my most played DA game I cannot argue. The fact that were seemingly getting DA2 with some DAI and a touch of DAO combat? SEEMS. too good to be true.
If it's made for the modern audience it will fail 😂
@@user-ky7gs2ou1w opposed to an archaic audience? Not everyone can be pleased it’s a losing battle to do so. I found my love for Thedas through DAI that was a modern game. Went through them all because of it. Change doesn’t have to hurt - it can be beautiful if you have the courage to allow it.
Thank you for posting your take! These Origin diehards haven’t replayed the game for some time…. It’s very woke (for the time it was made) and the gameplay is a slog; everytime I even think about replaying it I’m reminded of the mage circle and deep roads and I nope out of that idea. I’m excited to visit the places I’ve only heard of and to meet these new characters!
HELLO! thank you for listening to my RANT. I am so excited for the game and also a little disheartened at the public reaction. I truly believe that each persons authentic opinion is whats needed in order to see something in its truest form. This game will most likely have problems as EACH game did. But if its made with the purpose of story then I foresee us all falling in love with Thedas all over again.
Not true I do a playthrough of Origins once a year because it's one of my favourite rpgs. I personally love the tactical combat and think that the agency and control you had over the companions in the DA series brought you even closer to your companions because you actually care about what they are doing and want to make sure they don't die.
@@MrDay53 I. I. Don’t believe you play Origin’s once a year I’m sorry. As for tactical combat. Me no likely it was too slow after starting with DAI (stopping at winter palace due to Morrigan Lore bomb) it was such a battle to get to what I wanted which was companion dialogue and narrative progression. That said I did played it twice more as I needed both Lilianna and Morrigan biblically. Additionally if I am wrong in my disbelief - then my statements are then not directed at you for then you’d be an honest one. Which then I have nothing but respect for as art is to be consumed and viewed by the authentic. Thanks for even taking the time to comment still unreal to see.
Finally, someone who coherently understands this series
We ALL have the ability to enjoy art. But most only wish for their world to be real. Alas. Thedas is a place always out of reach. I less of course you play the games HA.
My hype and your hype are the same my friend! Dope video and I subscribed ❤🤟🏽🏳️🌈
thats insane (❁´◡`❁)
INTO IT! IM SO INTO IT!
Ignore the trolls. B*tching about stuff online is the new American Passtime, clearly.
I cannot the trolls are part of my diet. LOL
We'll that's exactly what this new dev team in Bioware is doing, if you replace trolls with fans that is.
It’ll fail no matter what you people try to say 😁 then all of a sudden the “dark fantasy” people will have the last laugh. It happens EVERY time 😂 it’s not nostalgia glasses if the previous games were superior and sold more(pre flop comment)
Bald.
Thank you for the entirely grounded take. I agree with basically everything you've said. Too many Dragon Age Origin andies who already believe the series died when the credits rolled on that first game. Or just, people with nonsensical arguments like: "lol fortnite graphics", or "looks like Dragon Age: Wokeguard"
I cannot believe I got a comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to even listen to me, I feel on top of the world rn. And YES. a lot of the rhetoric surrounding the game comes from a lot of hurt people. Which I UNDERSTAND but at the same time there’s so much glory to be witnessed, even if it’s not what ‘you’ want to see.
I swear there are more trolls b'tching about DAV than total sales number for DAO.
Agreed. This franchise is just like the Fire Emblem franchise in terms of elitism.
premature to insist people buy into a positive narrative when the game has not been reviewed or released.
I was a Bioware fan after I played Origins and Mass Effect. I did not like DA2 and I hated Inquisition. However I am willing to wait and see if this new game is agood game for me and to see other people play and read/see reviews. I believe EA ruined Bioware and I have doubts about this game.
So I think you are making a mistake if you say get on board or get off. Everyone has to make their own judgements about Bioware in general esp after EA bought them and this game in particular.
DA2 was initially disappointing for me, but then I really connected to the characters and story. The evolution of a city over time with a refugee crisis... leading to the mage/templar war. It was brilliant. Just have to get over the limited landscapes and everything being poo-brown....
I am making people BUY nothing - currently what I am doing is completely FREE THANKS. What you are doing by waiting is allowing the loud people (me) to be the ones to show you every part of its potential whether the person is speaking ill or well OR neutral. I am nothing but excited to return to Thedas so that seeps through my 'aura' if you will. But make no mistake - Bioware failed with their gameplay launch and even still they need to work on displaying how THEY see the game instead of allowing all this vague energy to permeate as if we have nothing but nothing then we can all say anything. Though I am with BIOWARE was nothing but a fool to sell themselves to EA.
@@RandomWandrer It's also because (DUH IK) it was such a departure from DAO so it really took alot of heat for that as much as Fantasy players say they love fantasy they actually just want the something over and over. Flemeth's introduction absolutely bodied me. cackling at poo-poo brown.
How about we get actual fans to make the games?
I am glad I never played origins. Inquisition was legendary. I won’t be playing this one. But as for the people who will be playing it, have fun 👍 I have my reasons. Too woke and too dei.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique that’s such a shame. BUT thank YOU. I really am gonna have a blast PROVIDED that the game is at the very least a B if that makes sense.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique also if you don’t mind me asking as I know you already gave your time to watch and comment. But in DAI there was a huge pander scene in which Krem and iron-bull talk about Trans people. We have yet to see anything in-depth for DAV but so far nothing has come close to such a display as found in DAI. What specifically has made you title DAV as too woke? IF YOU CAN ANSWER THAT IS AGAIN TY FOR YOUR TIME SIR.
They purposely portrayed the protagonist as a black man. And on purpose. They also talk nonstop about pansexuality, and some of the positive fans seem a bit sex depraved 🤷
Probably no more woke than DAI (had gay and trans characters in it). Maybe hang back and see what friends say after release. I wouldn't want you to miss out because of Internet trolls yelling about pronouns (which are ignorance options). BG3 let you mix and match genitals, and nobody cared about that.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique You can roll whatever protagonist you want. What's wrong with them showing a black man? Especially when everyone else in the scene is white.
