- After 10 years, getting this much new Dragon Age news felt like a fever dream. I've got some feelings on what we've seen, and what's more to come. Let's see where this goes shall we?

Loved this video. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the collective despair I’ve seen in most videos over the past 24 hours.
Thank you!
Ppl cry way to much and hate cause somwbody told them how to feel. Sheep....
I needed that shot of good gaming energy from you! Thank you. And yes! today we'll get to finally see portions of the game for ourselves and let the fires burn... but I chose to stay optimistic. I look forward to seeing your reaction after today's show.
The trailer was just made to show the companions
I love your enthusiasm! The first time I saw the trailer I was scared but I got used to the style and was happier to meet the companions. I think the comparison with D&D is a positive aspect, I believe that in all games we were in end-of-the-world situations with blight, civil war, kirkwall, mage rebellion, corypheus and in all these situations comedy or sarcasm were used. I think the trailer is a reflection of the companions rather than the world.
Good to see you again that didn’t take 1 year (it only took you 7 months)
More than one video a year? Who IS SHE
I'm really hoping the "multi-classing" shenanigans the companions seem to be getting up to (Harding, being an Archer Rogue, also having magical abilities) signals the same for Rook, our pc. Maybe the return of advanced classes like the Arcane Warrior, Spirit Warrior, or duel-wielding longswords?
As to the tone of the trailer, the last Bioware game to focus its initial marketing on the team being recruited was ME2, universally one of the most beloved games in their portfolio. That doesn't necessarily mean Veilguard will match its quality, but that is something to note.
Can I just say? Everything about you is slaying ! Like the outfit? Fucking incredible? The hair? Amazing, all the jewellery like the rings and the necklaces ? That sweater? YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER. My girlfriend and I were just watching this saying how you’re so pretty ! ICON LEGEND.
Really enjoyed the video! It's nice seeing your passion for the game! Getting a full trailer after so long is surreal, It's nice to just enjoy the vibes and excitement.
Wow! Video had a fun atmosphere that was both super enjoyable and refreshing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Until I see more content of the in the days and months to come I’ll be keeping my expectations in the middle, so I’m not over excited or gravely disappointed prematurely.
Ngl most of the videos I’ve seen that are hating on dragon age 4 for failing cuz ‘woke’ have not even played the series and are just grifting the culture war and are warping the genuine critique from the actual fans who are valid in their concerns
yeah i ignore any feedback regarding culture war nonsense. I think the only fair criticisms were regarding the comedic tone feeling out of place or the more cartoonish art style.
But the preview clip Bioware shared today on twitter gave me hope. That was actually really good.
The fact that you believe that is truly sad and shows how small your bubble is. Do you also disregard comments on the actual video from bioware? No actual fans watched that video? Most people I have seen critiquing it have played every single game including Origins. It's ok to disagree with the comments, but they are valid.
@@leroyrodgers6089 They aren't valid when they're objectively stupid and ignore the actual source material. Like sitting there whinging about it being 'woke' when the games have a history of multiple same sex romances and lgbt+ characters💀💀
@@leroyrodgers6089 Sort of agree with you, but on the other hand what are they criticing? The trailer? Okay sure, not great I can get behind that. Okay so how are they criticing it? Its endless spam of Bioware is dead, cartoons graphics, why pop song? Okay, but its a 2 min cgi trailer ? How can anyone write off the game based on two minutes of a bad trailer? At least wait for the gameplay trailer. I don't know what to think because there is literally nothing to go one other than a poor trailer that was probably outsourced and put together by another company.
@@dylanpullock6972 Bioware is on the brink of completely losing their reputation as a great company. This isn't just dragon age. This is the failures of Mass Effect, Anthem and the clearly shoddy development that they have become synonymous with. They need to prove to me and their fans that they can make a great game again. And this trailer did not assuage any concerns. I love Bioware, the company that made Kotor, Mass Effect one and Origins. But they are not the same people anymore. So I am highly skeptical. You mentioned a few concerns, but one of the biggest issues for me is direction. They were making a live service game and then they switched directions. They were making Dreadwolf a game centered around Solas and then changed direction. They completely changed the tone of what Dragon Ages' main motif has been for over a decade. Blood. I'm worried the story will be discombobulated. I'm unconvinced that the gameplay will be any good. I'm sure the game will look nice because it's PS5 and graphics are insane these days, but it's the storytelling and gameplay that hook me and I don't know if they can pull it off. My trepidation is not rare. Many of us feel this way and any attempt to toss us aside and pretend that our concerns are not real or that they can be ignored as a fringe opinion is misguided. That's my point.
Finally a take that isn’t negative!!! I’m glad you touched on the old trailers. None of them looked like their respective games so can everyone stop freaking out?!
I used to watch the Sacred Ashes trailer on a loop in highschool, nice to finally be able to reference it usefully!
We only need to start worrying if the gameplay they show off tomorrow is really bad.
they showed it and I hate it. I had no problem with the companion trailer. The gameplay is not what I want.
This trailer is not the end of the world, lets be real
That's kind of the point. It's *not* the end of the world. It's suppose to be!
End of the company... Yes
Let’s be real. The game will bomb because the trailer is the least of the problems this game will have.
I genuinely think people are just ragebaiting. The DAI trailer and the DAVG trailer have similar vibes. I'm not worried just yet.
There’s definitely a few bad faith arguments in the crowd but I think the majority of the concern is just what happens after 10 years. You build up expectations and idealise the outcome, these reveals always end up popping a few bubbles- if only preemptively (hopefully)
Bro i thought it was a mobile game.
god i hope the gameplay shows what it actually looks like.
I’m hoping it’ll provide some clarity! Not super fussed if that’s the look they’re going for, I’ll always be a writing gal myself
@@GeeOfDee for me its always been Gameplay > Story/Writing > Visuals.
Im excited for another DA game either way. I know you are excited for Solas' bald head haha
@@GoblinDownUnderfor me it’s always story/writing>visuals>gameplay for RPGs anyway
@@LordMuzhy Well if im playing a video game then i put gameplay first, things like Visual novels id probably not care as much lmao
Cool. Be a writing gal, I love good writing in a video game and can look past visuals, if the story is written well. But let's not mince words: the visual style and presentation point to a clear direction in writing. It's gonna be in the same vein as current Star Wars shows -- it's written by the same sort of people, with the same sorts of intentions.
It's most likely gonna be more preachy look-down-upon-thee North American alt-left liberal swill.
And I'm writing this as a liberal myself, albeit one from Europe, so grounded in reality, not one blindly spewing idiotic ideologies.
As a dedicated fan, who knows the world of Thedas religiously, I found the trailer to be tonally odd but slam full of easter eggs and tin-foil hat jumping off points that I couldnt just dismiss it. The most intriguing? The great dragon rearing its ugly head, right in front of the statues of the Evanuris, and surround by what looks like the Black City itself. Man, I cannot wait until Tuesday.
So much to comb through!
Oh my god it is so nice to see someone else being genuinely excited over the news! Your energy is so great. Completely agree, so many of the things people are griping about are just par for the course with every iteration of Dragon Age. I can understand where the mass anxiety is coming from given the turbulent development we've been distantly hearing about for years, but at the same time- give the game a genuine chance to be good before you decide it's dead in the water.
As for me, I'm just so excited to hear about these new characters and fall back in love with Thedas again.
I was initially very conflicted when I watched the trailer. I think it probably would have been better received if it had been trailer number 2 or something. But after watching it a few times and then seeing the snippet of tomorrow's footage and some info the devs have been revealing on Twitter and in the chat for the gameplay video I'm starting to feel excited. I hope tomorrow makes a lot of these naysayers go back on their comments.
Good video.
Dragon Age trailers have always been crappy and nothing like the actual gameplay. I still remember the hatred for the reused caves etc. In Dragon Age 2. I will be playing Dragon Age The Veilguard just as I've played Origins, 2 and Inquisition. All I need to do, apart from buying the game, is update my choices in the Keep.
And the reused caves still suck. Lol
@@reptiliancow True dat!
nobody remembers the marlyn manson trailer for origins lol.
Thank u for loving the games. .so much hate 😢. Ppl suck
personally i love the art style ! i can't stand the hyper realism we have on most games nowadays so DA is refreshing at least! and the STORY that's why i'm here, graphics aren't even that important anyways if the story and the mechanics are good!
The trailer was trash compare to it's previous showcases. I will buy and play the game regardless of how much hate it's getting.
I know I'm going to be besties with Manfred immediately
I noticed that both the veiljumper and grey warden have vallaslin- which means Dalish. I want this to be good- since this'll be the first time we've had a dalish boyfriend (and girlfriend since DA2)
Me either, I put out my review of the trailer and I was excited. I'm more a casual player. Now Mass Effect, I'm deeply invested in. Dragon Age is a casual play for me.
I swear I didn’t even get a notification for this comment, my eyes just immediately locked onto Mass Effect. Glad you’re enjoying it!
I just rewatched a Fully Ramblomatic video where Yahtzee described color coding in games. He said “brown” was the color of Xbox 360 games that were full of gritty realism and more modern games use what he called a magenta color palette. Then he pointed out the freeze frames with the bold name cards and listed off a bunch of very successful games that use this format. The reason this trailer was so jarring is because Dragon Age is a game we associate with that “brown” era and this trailer was made for a magenta game. So either the marketing department thought they would pick an art style that was currently popular to generate interest in their game (suggesting they know nothing about the demographic they are attempting to market to) or the game genuinely shifted to resemble Fortnite.
I don’t know how the marketing team bypassed the massive success that was Baldur’s Gate 3 when they were looking for art styles to mimic. It’s closer to the same vein that Dragon Age is in than Fortnite.
Finally a video about the trailer that isn’t just doomer shit lol. Literally the only thing I’m worried about is the party size change and that’s it. I think the character introduction trailer being lighthearted makes sense and I think it was really fun!! I can’t wait to see the gameplay trailer! ALSO SCOUT HARDING MY BELOVED!!!! 💖💖💖💖
The Scout Harding love has been a delight to witness! As I said I can totally see where a lot of the more concerned takes are coming from- but I’m just holding off harsh judgment until I see the gameplay
you're right and you should say it
As much as I hated the trailer and tone of it, I like your enthusiasm. I hope tomorrow changes my mind c: I love the dragon age series.
Thank you! It’s okay not to like things and if this is one of them, fair call!
That initial trailer at Xbox event yesturday startled me. It felt tonally off and the art style was off putting.
But Bioware shared a preview of actual gameplay today on twitter and i'm sold again. That gameplay felt like Dragon Age.
I'm not sure what EA was thinking with that character trailer yesterday.
I saw!! I’m fascinated by the environmental details, honestly even if everything else falls under my expectations I’d be tempted to just use it as a tool for exploring the environment
I hate the trailer, but I hope the gameplay trailer is way better.
It looks like a cross between Bordelands x Fortnite. How can you not be worried about Veilguard if you are a Dragon Age fan?!? Its literally NOT a Dragon Age game.
Big Facts it is worrying and I don't think she was old to even play the first game.
I mean yeah the trailer is really bad and extremely tone deaf, but it's just a trailer, it doesn't really mean anything. Maybe it's an accurate representation of the game's tone maybe some out of touch big wig in the marketing department thought this would be a great idea to appeal to a younger audience.
I'll reserve judgement until we see more, plenty of amazing games have had terrible trailers and plenty of terrible games have had great trailers.
Purple Hawke gang lol
People overreacted and I’ve been targeted as part of the problem because I have pronouns in my bio, a lot of people not liking the look of the game are mostly ‘anti-woke’ ‘DEI’ bad faith arguments. There are also a few parrots copying complaints they’ve found on Reddit which are so unconvincing that they don’t get any traction.
My excitement is higher than ever after the gameplay reveal!
Hey Gem! Are u still doing GGSP?
I don't lie the design of the characters, love the environment, not sure why the faces of the darkspawn are comical, and the gameplay teaser is ok, minus how awekward the main character is walking. He seemed glitchy like a ghost from 13 ghosts!
I absolutely cop to laughing out loud when I saw the big darkspawn googly eyes!
I'm not impressed with this trailer or its looks. Disney or cartoonish are not Dragon Age. Taking Varrics from a blond to black haired with Grey streaks isn't Dragon Age he's always been blond. I'm waiting for a longer than 20 second game play release because the 20 second one is exactly the way it looks in the this trailer.
Too cartoony and PG-friendly. It's sickending, it looks like a Disney movie for toddlers.
I''m out
You are like the poster child of the modern gamer.....and I mean that in all the worst ways possible.
And you’re the problem. Look at that, we can both point fingers.
Farewell Dragon Age. A game I once loved. Have fun guys, ez skip tor me 👋
I played em all, first one = WOW, 2nd = meh, 3rd = fun+meh, this one looks terrible, all the "new" companions are weaksauce except the geezer necromancer
