Side note on the Dalish, we really should have had Dalish elves, not Antaam, joining the gods. It would’ve made the entire story hit harder and make a lot more sense than “bad guys are people in power who want more power.” Also, the Tevinter sl@ve empire was completely brushed aside and the Venatori blamed for everything. They could’ve added so much more nuance, but they didn’t…

Appreciated! I've also seen reports that Veilguard took 8 or even 10 years due to having to restart the project multiple times. And it still blows my mind that DA2 was made in one year and half.

Yeah, same for me with finishing Veilguard. But I think this rather shows how 2024 was not a great year for RPGs. Although I did enjoy Metaphor:ReFantazio but haven't finished it.

Not to worry, just trust ur gut! Imma pray you get ur chill back ASAP 🙏

Indeed! It's hard to take the world-ending events seriously when even your companions don't act like it.

I completely agree with you. It felt like they wanted to simplify everything… everywhere… and retcon as much lore as they could while doing it

Well said! I have to admit that when I was recently editing this vid, I did feel great joy when recalling some of the companions and moments (like Emmrich and Bellara). But I also couldn't forget my struggles with the weak gameplay and writing from when I played the game during launch. So I'm glad the project did not end up in limbo but also sad that the game couldn't live up to it's potential.

@mistermarkham101 For me, Lucanis being possessed by a demon despite not being a mage, and the masses of elves following Solas post Trespasser, but they were nowhere to be found, were glaring examples of some retcons... if missed out on any explanations for them.

@@Kris-Apollonides Yeah, Emmrich and Bellara were among the better written companions. I was so close to romancing Emmrich, and even though the villain in his arc is widely acknowledged to be Disney-esque, it was at least a fun storyline. And Bellara was a companion I had more than others, alongside Davrin and Emmrich. I enjoyed the game enough to want to see it through to the end, at least. But for a time, I thought we would *never* see a Dragon Age 4, and I had made peace with that. So seeing this conclusion was at least something. But like you said: it had potential to stand on its own alongside the previous Dragon Age games, but it's just... unfortunate it couldn't because of so many factors that hindered its development. Still, that it managed to be released at this level of polish despite its chaotic executive meddling and whatnot, I would think of it as a success with my expectations adjusted.

It has its moments but with such misguided writing I can't blame the VO tho. 🔊

@@Kris-Apollonides The actors did the best they could with what they were given. You can only make so many “I hate sand…” quality lines sound remotely believable

@@mistermarkham101 Totally. DA has always had some comedy in it but The Veilguard goes so overboard with its light-hearted tone that the setting and story start to suffer for it.

Praise! I dedicate this Birdman Shuffle to all my Antivan Crow bros 🐦

I think you were too soft just with your score of 55%. 55% would imply the game is still above average, where for me it was pretty far below average. The best parts of the game for me were the hair and Hans Zimmer's theme. I would have dropped PC, NPC, World, and Explore to 1. Story would go to 1 because the last 30 minutes of exposition from Solas doesn't undo the hours upon hours of nothing before the ending, and the "secret ending" where it is revealed the illuminati is responsible for everything that has happened so far in Thedas could retroactively make people dislike the series as a whole. Combat also would be 2 for me. You did say at the beginning that you didn't think Veilguard was a bad game, so from that perspective I fully get your scores, I just clearly had a worse time with it than you

I liked this video for the most part but please keep in mind most people use they/them regarding Taash. But I do agree even as a genderfluid person Taash was a poor example of representation. I did not like their bratty twenty something attitude at all. And them saying "nobody likes to be a woman" very insulting with internalized misogyny undertones. It's as if a terf was left in charge of writing Taash's character because that line will only fuel more hatetred to the lgbtq+ community.

I can't help but feel we were robbed of a true sequel. RIP Dreadwolf

Summon the dance legions! ⚔

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one! 👴

May you walk in light, brotha! 🌞

Truth! I should have mentioned Helm in the video actually. That man was a beast to be reckoned with! 💪

I implore you to continue the journey! SAURON HYPE

May your sandals caress the sand. 👡

Never stop blowing! 🥵

My friend, you bow to no one.

Sauron made me do it 👁

one love to vibe them all 💍

And the amped up action compared to Napoleon is appreciated but it's a damn shame they lost a lot of substance in the process. 🐵

Indeed! I feel they fixated too much on the first movie's legacy, instead of making this a proper movie on its own. The result feels too much like a spin-off.

Adar! I loved how the ring showed his original form. RIP

Celembrimbor was incredible. The horror in his eyes when he realises

definitely Sauron ✌ #sauronhypeforsure

Definitely Elrond! 💪

it's veilguarding time 😎

Beard > Chest hair

Skol! 🍻

Well said! I did feel for him, really. I like to imagine he eventually got away from his tragic past, and was able to shape a new purpose for himself. (I know that in the novels his adventures continue under the name Blue Wraith but I haven't read them.)

My top 5 are leliana, Isabella, sera, those are who I romanced and the other two are cole and varric because they are really good and cole is not a boy with a spirit in him he is a spirit himself know what you are talking about

Oh indeed she was once. I had totally forgotten, thanks!
