    For me, there is only one Dragon Age game ever made. Dragon Age Origins, ever other games is just bad spin offs. Now Dragon Age Veilguard is bad tumbler fan fiction. That is due to Bioware in name only does not know how to make good games. After EA bought Bioware, Bioware's talent left. They gathered their party and venture forth. DAO, ME1, same thing with both of this ip, first game really good, was never at the same level after that first game.

  • @noctoi

    Totally agree with all of this. Dreadwolf was supposed to be the culmination of all the games. Instead it's a middle finger to every previous game and every person who loved them. Veilguard is the antithesis of everything they promised for Dreadwolf. They could EASILY have told us when the name changed that they have decided a hard world state reset and I would have been pissed, yeah. I also would have still played it. The gaslighting, retconning, dismissal, dog piling on social media and total divorcing of everything that makes a character driven, story rich, player reactive CRPG, keyed its car, trashed its bike, and broken into its place of work to take a dump on its desk. I can forgive development struggles, honest mistakes and changes in animation style (though I fucking hate it, I'd have still played it for closure). BUT, you start insulting me (yes personally, the devs are getting REAL personal on social media and dogpiling unhappy player accounts) and telling me you don't WANT me as a customer, calling me a bigot when I'm basically the physical embodiment of your "target market"?? Fuck that noise, I'm done. I hope, I TRULY hope I'm wrong about how this game will go. After the shitshow of the last 3 months though? I wouldn't buy it anyway.

    In the DLC for Origins, they introduced Anders, the most important character in DA2. In the DLC for DA2, they set up Corypheus, the bad guy of DAI. I think, only catering to people who played the DLC for Inquisition, is probably the most Dragon Age thing they have done!

    It's pretty clear that this dev team have no interest in the legacy of the series and just want to make their own thing with the DA name on it. In the same way that the showrunners that made the Witcher TV show had no interest in being faithful to the source material and just wanted to do their own thing to show how clever they were, this dev team wants to abandon the past of DA to put their own stamp on it. It's no longer about the players and the stories they have built up over the course of three games, it's about these new devs and what they want. And for that reason, they're not getting any of my money.

    I think people should follow their own heart, that's fine. I'm very excited for Veilguard. It looks closest to me to the feel of Dragon Age 2. I think the concern over the past choices is misplaced (and to be fair the logic is acknowledged in this video). Dragon Age has always carried major choices only from the immediately prior game. That becomes more obvious as the series progresses. The HOF and Hawke and now simply old history from another part of Thedas. I'm so looking forward to Veilguard.

      Yes, I mostly agree. The broodmoth- /puke/ were revolting, but they are fully in line w the lore and carry w them the compelling imperative to destroy such abominations immediately. I couldn’t look at a darkspawn without recognizing its origins… until the circus clown ogrespawn showed up in DA4… That horrendous depiction of corruption also provided a very poignant reference to the political corruption amidst the dwarves and humans… so that soldier’s calumny also provided a poignant example of how rotten had become the state of Denmark. But where I agree w the vid is in scenes like the orphanage. In that scene’s conclusion, a rage demon emerges to stab a guy in the back w a pitchfork for an insta-kill. It was gruesome, but… stupid. Rage demons don’t carry pitchforks and don’t get instakills on backstabs. It was also creeping around invisibly which wasn’t how any other demon has been. It was an ok sequence to play out, but the gore and horror were poorly conceived and jarringly vs the lore.

    To me the soul of the games have been the unique visual design and atmosphere of the DA game worlds. Shown in the unique statues and architecture and various races and monsters in the game. This was present in Inquisition too, and I think that will continue here. Stories and characters in these games have always been bit meh and kinda childish, but I've always ignored those faults. Only character I genuinely like in DA universe is Varric. He has charisma and actual personality. Rest are generic fantasy drivel with shallow personalities. The old BG games, and Mass Effects, have far better characters.

    It's not even a checklist situation, or an instance where they needed to hit a specific amount of choices carried from each game. Yes, to their point, this game takes place a decent amount of time after DAI, and it is half a world away. That should have made it more important for them to determine which choices would absolutely matter, and make the reactivity that much stronger, knowing much less would have to be accounted for. But to just throw it all out? It's such a betrayal. Might as well not even bring back Morrigan, or Dorian, or Iron Bull, or Varric, or any returning character, if you are discarding choices that represent major moments for each of them. Morrigan could be a mother or not, she could be possessed by the will of the mother she tried so hard to escape. Dorian could have been an ally, or hated you enough to leave the Inquisition; Iron Bull could have been not recruited, or dead as a Qunari spy, and both of them could be in a romance together. The decisions with the Fade, who was left behind; as well as the Grey Wardens, exiled or not, and who returned to Weisshaupt, when an internal rebellion seemingly started; The Well of Sorrows; the divine, the mages and templar conflict and outcomes; the inquisition's reputation; the Inquisitor's characterization, humorous, harsh, merciful, faithful? How do you followup DAI and discard all of this? They had a perfect opportunity to hyper focus on the Key elements to bring forward. They had 10 years of fan speculation and theories telling them exactly what we wanted to find out most. They had 2x entire epilogues (DAI main game & Tresspasser's) full of narrative hooks clearly intended to be resolved in the next game. How do they mess this up???? There are people saying, "well it doesn't mean it will be a bad game," No, but it does mean they straight up didn't give a fuck, and now neither do I.

    I get being salty about the decisions, they should have at least imported decisions regarding Morrigan from DAO, as she literally becomes a different person by having Kieran. And maybe who Hakwe was, as we have Varric on the team in non-combst capacity. But, few things that I think you got wrong * Fade isn't exactly a pure dream world of no substance. It is more like an extra dimension. You can physically be there. Prior to the Veil, elven cities combined real world and Fade, and the Eluvian mirrors use one of the Fade-adjacent dimesnions (which is there Lighthouse is) to transport people * Pretty sure you can talk to the companions even without the lamp, the lamp is there just to let you know they have a quest or something, not just their standard repeated conversation options

We could go on for weeks with examples. But its about why are they there? Its like saying women only have bad characters in movies while ignoring the pinnicals like Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor. But bad actors and poor writers can ruin anything. Just need to look at the likes of terminator dark fate to tie that example back in. Personally though this is just an aside, I wish anyone other than ripelys daughter was the protaganist of Alien Isolation.
