    Give us a free patch that lets the player character say "No" as well as refuse to recruit or ignore NPC questlines entirely. Give the companions their own health bars is my bare minimum demand for gameplay.
    tldr: I still wouldnt buy Veilguard because the Marvel quirky Gen Z dialogue of "You old farts are stuck in the past and we dont owe you a damn thing" dialogue is the backbone of the writing. Like.... I'm already a retard. I dont need any more affirmation by fictional characters who cant use any word more than three syllables in fear of offending me.

    They won’t learn from this though. They had an opportunity going forward with ME4 to treat Andromeda like an ignored side project. And instead they’re going to try and incorporate MEA into the OT - that is not a sign of a studio who learned from their past failure.

    If they respected the previous games instead of trying to appeal to "modern" newcomers, it would have helped the franchise. The word of mouth from devoted fans would have attracted newcomers by introducing them to the old games and wanting to pay and then buy veilguard. Creating that publicity would have help since they would sell more copies of the older games and veilguard.

    I tried playing Dragon Age: The Veil Guard, and honestly, I was incredibly disappointed. Coming from the immersive worlds of Dragon Age: Inquisition and Baldur’s Gate 3, this game feels like a major step backward.
    The graphics, while colorful, seem to lean toward a Disney-like aesthetic that doesn’t align with the darker, more mature tone fans of the series have come to love. The dialogue lacks depth, coming across as sophomoric and uninspired, which detracts from any emotional connection to the characters.
    To top it off, the gameplay mechanics are clunky and far from enjoyable. The controls feel unpolished, making combat and exploration a chore rather than the engaging experience you’d expect from a Dragon Age title.
    In short, this game feels more like a cash grab than a worthy addition to the franchise. I’d recommend passing on this one. Save your money until its under $10.00.

    I just saw information that the ps5 physical edition is 40% off in one of the stores, there is 5h trial in EA play.
    At this point I believe EA will do anything to get the unit sales numbers up. Not the revenue though if the game is heavily discounted but it will still look nice in their quarterly report. “The game sales were very close to expectations” at the same time they can hide they earned on the game less that they wanted but just having bottom line figures which might be good (due to cash cows sports games). As long as they do not lie they can twist the data as much as they want in the quarterly reports.

    I played it. Ran 98% of the content available. I went back to play Inquisition, which I'm 2/3rds through. If you liked anything about Inquisition, I would say don't play Veilguard. If you didn't like the way Inquisition clearly hated the Grey Wardens and wanted to ruin them, well, Veilguard is that x10. Everything you worked for in Inquisition? Gone. Destroyed. They hated the previous lore enough to want to wipe the slate clean so they wouldn't have to adhere to it. All Veilguard is, is an excuse to wrap up the last scraps of DA lore so they can never bother with it again. The end goal, IMO, was to wipe the slate totally clean so they could use the franchise name and goodwill without any effort to ever reference the past of Thedas again.

But why suffer all that when there's Dragon Age Origins, Awakening, and Inquisition to replay? Even if I had to repurchase them on steam, they don't add up to the price of Veilguard.

I can't and won't defend this claptrap. I spent a good deal of this game feeling like I was being bashed over the head and reprimanded for nothing. Taash is the WORST character I've ever come across, which pisses me off because I was hoping for a badass female version of The Iron Bull. LAME! And as much as i enjoyed Lucanis and he was my LI, his romance was lacklustre. Is it too much to ask for a 3-way relationship with him, me and spite??? Huh????? Hahha.

      @joethealternativegamer3935 Eh, I thought it was fine. Considering what the game does to where the series’s started and the terrible characters, and the horrendous writing, I still managed to get through the game. Last two hours were definitely the best.
      The issue is that this game is a slap to the face to fans of the older games and the disrespect is apparent. Writing could have been way better, the ‘woke’ stuff handled better to instead of ‘accept or fuck yourself’ mentality I got from it, and the characters could have had a lot more depth to them (I still like Davrin and Lucanis though).
      Overall, the game was worth one playthrough and that was it, which is the real insult considering how many different timelines I’ve constructed from the last three games.
