It feels like the entire time you should of been playing as the Inquisitor again or atleast have them as a party member. Rook just seems like a huge afterthought
@joedatius i kinda wish the inquisitor was the main character since they have history with Solas, and since the Inquisition disbanded, we form a new team with Varric. Trespasser pretty much had that set up in its ending and then they changed directions. I guess since they really couldn't bring in new players or do a soft reboot since it's been a decade.
@@KlokLogic I chalk that up to his pride getting the better of him and to be fair he technically ain't wrong. Compared to Rook and the other members of the Veilguard he IS a god
@@mohammadabdelrahman786 Let's not forget we destroy his ritual, that was centuries in the making, because he couldn't be bothered to protect his statues nor give them proper scaffolding.
For all the flaws in this game, this is not one of them. He always believed he is better than people around him and wanted to be in charge, deciding what the world should be like, this extreme and emotional situation just finally allows it to get to the surfice. Not a bad writting.
'You were never ready to make the sacrifices that leadership requires' is such a stupid line for Rook to say to Solas in the bad end. Solas lead the rebellion against the elven gods in ancient times. He sacrificed the elven empire to seal away the gods. In his chess match against Iron Bull, Solas wins because he sacrifices his major pieces while Iron Bull doesn't.The problem isn't that he doesn't make sacrifices. The problem is that he's *too* comfortable. Solas doesn't sacrifice enough people to win, what the hell kind of reasoning is that
So...Solas didn't really want to destroy the world but Mythal made him and all she has to do is say 'actually nvm' and he stops? What about all the times in DAI where Solas talks about how much better it was when the spirit and mortal worlds were one and you learn his greatest fear is dying alone? What are his real beliefs and values? Who did Lavellen fall in love with? If he was enslaved by Mythal all along, how was he able to kill Flemeth? I don't think Solas was intended to still be Mythal's slave in DAI. I think he used to be Mythal's slave, but he broke free of her control by DAI and was written as a free man, who wanted to collapse the Veil of his own free will. Veilguard just retconned him to still be Mythal's slave because...idk. EA mandates? The writers who weren't laid off were forced to rush the game?
I- Jesus christ. The best ending is servicable, but the other two? They have fundamentally misunderstood the character and motivations of Solas. "I AM A GOD". He rejected that moniker from day one. He was trying to heal the world at great cost, not rule it. He was trying to bring back a world of magic and immortality. He just didn't fully understand the nature of existence without the Veil, until he met the Inquisitor. To him, we were all empty shells of something once greater...Shells that he created, and reminders of his guilt. To make him sound so horrifically prideful like this. For him to sneer down at the veilguard. God, I wish we were in the universe where we got Dread Wolf instead.
That post credit scene can go f... itself : "oh, hey, remember all these characters and choice from the previous game that could have been put into this one?" It feels like the most insulting middle finger to the players, a taunt. No, take it back and shove it where the sun don't shine with this bullcrap.
The Grey Wardens being treated as a cutesy group of heroes feels like a complete slap in the face of the series as a whole. Not everything has to be dark and edgy but the Grey Wardens are one of the most morally dark aspects of the entire setting. Even Inquisition understood this by having Blackwall have a dark and frankly pretty messed up past. If feels like there should of been a continuation of the Hero of Ferelden trying to find a cure for the Wardens as a part of their story in this but this "they all lived happily ever after" is just saccharin since the Wardens are literally forced to die horrific deaths regardless of if the blight is an actual issue or not.
Hell the wardens you deal with in inquisition are panicking like crazy because they're all feeling the calling suddenly and freaking out, willing to work with that Venatori group or whatever their name was to stop it.
They’ve left it open for the “forgotten ones” and titans who the blight actually came from as a result of the elves severing the titans spirits from their forms. So in the next game (if people could stop shitting on this series so we can get continuations instead of the internet murdering everything it gets its grubby hands on) I feel like we could possibly get a worsen. Everyone be nice and give genuine none hateful criticism and we might get the games we deserve instead of the trollop shit that come out as a result of but hurt fans throwing tantrums that “a piece of modern artwork and story telling made by people telling stories about a made up universe for fun” isn’t exactly the way they wanted it to be. Veil guard was an awesome installation to DA and I can’t wait to play it day in day out. I hope there’s DLC and I hope the haters won’t kill this game. Remember how there were so many retouches and added lore with dlc and patches of Origins, DA2, Mass Effects and others. Had people outrage killed those games when there was issues in the releases we wouldn’t have these series.
@@witchsandwerewolfs not to mention the foreign entity who makes another appereances in the end credit, afterall, in Inquisition and Tevinter Nights, they were mentioned too
All I'm hearing is 'do you want to genocide the entire world'? This has never been a game series about being a psychopath that does things to be sadistic.
We never had that choice though, in no other game in the series, not on DAO, DA2, DAI Hell, even other games from other companies, it's very rare to see one that lets you END THE FUCKING WORLD, most understandably make it a "game over" when that happens
The Solas romance ending makes no sense. The Inquisitor already tried to talk him out of it and failed. But now years later it is suddenly different. Couldn't Flemmeth/Mythal just have released him from service back when they met at the end of the Inquisition, thereby avoiding being killed by him? The characters in this franchise used to have depth, flaws, and secrets. The world was full of lore, mystery and unanswered questions. It kept the fanbase going all these years, deep dive into the story and lore, lots of interesting, complex and deep theories and discussions. I feel like any of the fan theories I've seen, though the years are deeper, more interesting, and fit better with the lore established in previous games. What we got just seems tame in comparison.
Ahhh that’s what it is. The game doesn’t match shitty fan theories so it sucks. Origins didn’t have depth. Everyone was so one dimensional you just let nostalgia run wild
@@Darinl79 Lol, no. It is just that those shitty fan theories, and yes some of them have been really shitty, somehow manages to surpass what was made here. If you find the characters in previous games boring and one dimensional, then that's on you, I think their popularity speaks for itself. Whats really the problem is that fans expected an continuation of what made the previous games a succes. Had they just made it clear from the start that they were going to reboot it as a light hearted linear action game, then fans could have had time to make their peace with it. Instead we got this massive disappointment. No it is not a bad game, its a perfectly fine 6-7/10 action game, and I might have enjoyed it for what it is, had it not shat all over the dragon age legacy and its fans.
So Solas, the mastermind from the previous game who was always one step forward is a total idiot. It doesn't matter if you revolted against Flemeth in DAO, or she gave Morrigan the green light in the previous game to live in peace, she gets Morrigans body anyway, and Kieran is non canon.
@@vancodusan9554 and the well of sorrow choice is useless... I was so intrigued about the implication it had to Mythal, being her servant. Wasted plotential
Im not disagreeing but I think that maybe, just maybe, there is a possibility that Mythal got into Morrigan's body after Inquisition where we see her push that wisp of her soul through the Eluvian before she gives the rest of her power to Solas. If true, it would not make Kieran non canon, just not mentioned.
Do the writers not see how insane it is that Mythal sets Solas free from slavery *while enslaving Morrigan*? Imagine if Cazador in BG3 sets Astarion free out of the goodness of his heart while keeping all of his other thralls and this is portrayed as the heartwarming 'best' ending.
Everything we did in Origins doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that we protected Morrigan from Flemeth, it doesn't matter whether she was married to HoF, whether she has a son or not, all of this is in fact recognized as non-canon, just like DA2. This game spits in the face of many original fans. The whole game is made for solavellan.
@@БогданМаксименко-ь4э DA2 ?! DA2 is a literall masterpiece compared to that crap, i mean definitly a downgrade from origins to DA2 but still it wasnt that shit and it didnt shit on the whole lore and choices made by the fanbase, this is just dissapointing and depressing man literally nothing positive from this like its just a woke mess made by bastards who prolly never oalyed a dragon age ever.
@@diegosworld5388 It seems you misunderstood me, I meant that everything we did in Origins and DA2 was basically thrown out and forgotten by the developers. And I agree that DA2 is a masterpiece compared to Veilguard, especially considering that DA2 was made in just 16 months and the then development team didn't have enough time to make it really good, but even despite this, they moved saves and made about 20 quests that depended on decisions made in Origins. The new team of developers just spat in the face of the fans of the first two parts and didn't recognize all the decisions from them and most of Inquisition.
Im grateful for not being able to waste money on the game. Besides the woke mess and the terrible design choices the lore was either retconned or disneyfied into non-existence... this is like GoT season 8 all over again 😅
@@БогданМаксименко-ь4э yeah man im sorry i misunderstood, i thought you were saying that da2 and this game spit in the face of the original fans. Like you said despite the 16 months of developpement da2 was pretty good and decent and took account of the choices made in origins, its not even anger that i feel its just pure sadness so many memories from origins to inquisition just ruined by that crap.
@@diegosworld5388 Yes, it's sad that such a franchise with such potential as Dragon Age turned into this nonsense. We can only console ourselves with the first three really good parts, and Veilguard does not exist for me personally. Instead, I made my own headcanon 🙃.
I knew somehow in this message crap, it would make Solas a freaking wimp. He was so confident and awesome in the Trespasser DLC ending, to this. I hate when they make the men weak for no reason, but to appease Reddit people that don't play games.
@@aqlanimations4822 Solas is the way he is because current Bioware is to scared to do an extremely high magic high fantasy setting for a game. That's it! "I have to do my job and come up with something cool? No that too hard." It's lower than woke it's enforced incompetence.
@@zmark7843 Have a guy prevail in modern US games, not happening lol, they can't even have a villian male be competent. They ended Varric in the stupidest way, Imagine if you could have Hawke there to take the blow, or react to Varric, these writers are Dumb/sses
@@aqlanimations4822I agree that Trespasser dlc was epic and well written, the ending of DAV is a bit poor and average from my point of view. But Solas is not a weak Man, emotions are not a weakness. He was a character deeply tormented from his past and from his actions and Mythal set him free. I'm glad to see him finally letting go of the past. There are many things I didn't like about DAV but what can we do? The game is done. The franchise ends here for me with its good and bad
They need a new villain to have a continuation of their paycheck. That's why the Aveng... I mean the Veilguard was formed HAHAHAHAHAHA. EFFIN CRAP FOR A STORY WRITING
"NO you see the Lore Master is gone so I'm in charge therefore my lore is cannon that makes it better, see bigger and badder and worse, that better." Watch it be the The Forbidden Ones. the loser demons you bend over a basin in very Dragon Age game.
@@MusicaX79it’s the Executors. BioWare have been trying to subtly set them up since a series of war table missions in Inquisition (they didn’t do a very good job). They look and sound exactly how they’re described in Tevinter Nights
Can you imagine if we got the HOF, Hawke and the Inquisitor for one final showdown? The warden who has experience fighting a blight and is one of the most respected Grey Wardens to date. Hawke, who is a general nutcase and has no idea what he's doing but we love him. And the Inquisitor who, depending on your story, has the most reason to want to see Solas fail/win and has experience with end-of-the-world scenarios. Instead... We got Rook... a half-baked daycare worker who Varric probably found while drunk and desperate.
"It's the final boss and he's this big godlike being, how should we finish the game?" "Physically overpower his 9 foot tall ass with a knife, then cut his throat without breaking a sweat and make a grumpy face at him." Truly this generation's greatest of stories.
Im sorry but if they wanted to connect this new group of villains to dragon age origins they shouldn't have connected them to logahin it kinda ruins his character especially if youve read the books. If they wanted to show that they "guided" events they should have connected them to the first blight. Maybe show Duncan instead to show that they guided him to the Hero of Fereldan for a reason.
I'm probably the only person here who sees Inquisition as a masterpiece. Go back and you'll realize although it's not Origins it's at the top but this Veilguard is horrific.
YES!!!!! Where is the option where my Inquisitor can kill this big-eared bastard? I hated him for his betrayal in the Inquisition, and my Inquisitor swore revenge on him. Where is the Inquisitor's revenge?!
@@alinakirill Dragon Age Inquisition is the best game that I have ever played it got me through some dark times of my life Story of a man who was falsely accused for the crimes that he hadn't commits a prisoner who became a leader a leader who became an Inquisitor an Inquisitor who drinked from The Well of Sorrows and went physically into the fade to come back alive a myth a walking Legend worthy of godhood in the realm of men bro ... just imagine what this game could have been The Clash of myths ...

So rather hilariously, to get the most emotionally impactful ending to the game, you should just carry over the 3 choices the game wanted you to make, and make a few right choices in this game. Meaning that Bioware's cannon is basically that the inquisitor was a female elf that romanced solas and never gave up on him.
@@travisbickle4360 I'm 10 hours in and have encountered a couple bugs. The makeup set in CC didn't appear in game, I had to do it again via the mirror. Also, the wardrobe in Rook's room removes her hair when trying to change outfit appearances.
The romanced solas ending is so cringey , what is that awkward emotionless kiss😨, I would rather have my romanced inquisitor solo him, and see if he could actually kill her for stopping him.
1) No tactical party gameplay 2) no story decisions from other games, the ones that made this franchise... 3) No actual story decisions and dilemma's in this game... In any dragon age there were options where i would just think for hours and regret a choice through an entire gameplay... WTH is there left after this? When I read some of the reviews, some of them have kind of pointless positive remarks. Oh the game is "beautiful", oh ok... Not only do I disagree, I think the majority of players don't give a damn about it... There is a plethora of games out there with minimalistic graphics and great gameplay... Heck one of the most played mmorpg's is effing runescape... Apparently you also give a game a good review if you have high FPS and when a new game isn't a total bug riddled mess... I thought those things were the absolute basics, but ok... This is not dragon age... Yes they tried something new bla bla bla. Never change a winning team is what I always say... When I buy FIFA, i buy FIFA and not PES... We all loved dragon age for 1) it's complex party play 2) dark gritty story and tone 3) a lore filled world where some stories were answered and new mysteries were created. Some of the biggest topics of other games were not even mentioned... Red Lyrium anyone? Did the name Andraste come up in this game at all? WTH happened literally and figuratively with the QUN? Talking darkspawn? If the Elven Gods can just create darkspawn, not to mention all the darkspawn are the same. No more shriekers, genlock, hurlock and oggres. There are just 2 types now. The Hurlocks and the oggres... Who then creates or created the broodmothers? The darkspawn couldn't have possessed the knowledge to create them themselves. So the broodmothers and/or the genetical instinct to create them has to be created. Then why the hell wouldn't you spawn broodmothers instead? What new mystery did we get in this one? We have questions, but that's only thanks to their blunt decisions... The only question i really have is, are the blights really over? Not to mention that they say in the game that this blight was the worst blight of all! Yet it lasted what, a week or two?... I remember the previous blights being much more destructive to be called the "blightiest of blights"... The game ends with the last blight. So they give us one clear answer. Yes the archdemons were the "Elven Gods"... And with the last 2 Elven Gods gone, no more blights. And thus literally ends the dragon age... This can't be a reboot, a reboot would bring us back in the same kind of position as DAI...
i find it highly funny that the "bad" ending is actually the one with the most impact and feeling makes you feel like it really was a suicide mission of sorts to face a god.
solas would NEVER stab varric like a dog he would immobilize him with his magic but never kill, neither would he have said "I AM A GOD" This game is horse sh..t
The first ending is the best and the saddest one for me. That music before Solas and inquisitor left, the lost elf theme. It is sad because I did not want that ending for the inquisitor. I still find him/her the best Dragon Age protagonist.
23:30 Oh, no, the upside down triangle with two waving lines, these are Those Across The Sea, masters of the Executors. So they are villains after all.
@@shadow7179 doubtful, they are mentioned only once in DAI, in the letters from the Executors if the Inquisitor and Leliana decide to investigate their activities. They are not mentioned in DAO or DA2, so them standing behind Loghain's betrayal and Bartrand's madness is very strange retcon. The Executors are like the Illuminati or Mason conspiracies of Thedas, so Those Across the Sea would be like reptiloids from Nibiru.
"You were never ready to make the sacrifices that leadership requires." NO! NO! THAT IS NOT SOLAS' FLAW! THAT SHOULD NOT BE HIS DOWNFALL! I hate this. The writers didnt understand the character, and now they've ruined him forever.
It makes me sad that the "best ending" is supposed to be talking about how sad you are for a megalomaniacal racist with a god complex instead of just flattening him like he deserves. Pretty much exactly what I've feared for the last 10 years. If I actually bother picking up the game I'll be making a point to avoid the "best" scenario.
@@graye2799 Oh, I got the point that they want people to think he's some deep complex character because he made a frowny face and said he was sad about murder a couple times, but they've been flubbing it since Trespasser since he could always have just NOT COMMITTED MURDER but chooses to do it anyway because he used to be called a "god" and therefore thinks nobody should be able to hold him accountable. But heck, in the "good" and "normal" endings, his true face comes out quite clearly.
@@IWasCaptainPanda wtf? You kind of miss the point. Solas entire goal is to bring down the veil, something that would be very destructive to the current order, but in his mind, would be better in the long run. You aren't going to be able to do that without getting your hands dirty. He also doesn't kill anyone he doesn't need to.
God, after seeing these endings, currently playing through act one… I deleted the game… terrible writing, plot holes… Solas never wanted to be called a god, I don’t even feel like my rook matters as a character, the highlight so far was meeting my old inquisitor who immediately felt more like my own character. I am just astounded, this game reads like a tumblr fan fic.
Lame and stunted. Played prior DA games, even Inquisition which until Trespasser came out, was atrocious. Wasn't planning to play this. Thank you to author for posting endings video, because that confirmed - Bioware has been dead for years. Good riddance.
I’m very happy to see the Inquisitor and Solas get a happy ending, even if they die in process. The good ending is what I’ll be aiming for. If you don’t mind me asking, how do get it? Are there any requirements to do so?
Me watching the video: Ah, uh... what?... em... fuck... meh... cry... snif...zzz... wake up!... well, RIP Bioware again... thank you for the upload, bye :(
Thank you! I’ve been looking forward to this game for so many years but I just can’t get myself to play it. Maybe some day. I just can’t stand the art direction.. I’m satisfied knowing my Inquisitor reunited with Solas.
Although I'm not really happy about the happy ending romance with Solas it was enough closer for the chapter I wanted to end. I didn't want to buy the game just to see it tho due to my own issues with it, like the new combat. So thank you.
I knew it! I f-ing knew it! There is no choice actually affecting the ending (everyone lives, everyone dies or you trick Solas, no accepting Solas plan)!
So no matter the ending, the Veil remains- the only major changes are who dies, and who maintains the Veil. In the Best Ending, everyone lives, Mythal is saved and potentially merged back together as a full goddess, Solas is redeemed, and the world has hope. In the Good Ending, Solas is banished, and seems to realize that his plan failed entirely, resigning himself to death, but everyone lives. In the Normal Ending, lotsa people die but Solas is trapped and enraged, potentially returning for the next game as a secondary threat. In the Bad Ending, everyone dies, Solas and the Rook are trapped in the Veil, very injured but likely alive together, albeit imprisoned. Bioware really showed that they're afraid of actual bad endings here- they want happy endings, with cherries on top, but they had to make the bad one a little sad but not catastrophic. A true BAD ending would have been Solas merging the real world with Fade, completing the ritual and assuming his place as their new God. A decent middle ground would have been Solas and Rook merging the Fade and the physical world together, using Mythal as its anchor, thus securing her as their primary focus for the next game. Oh, and now we get to see the Executors, the "greater powers", we've only heard a little about from Inquisition and its external content- basically foreign entities, perhaps even spirits, who have been pulling strings in Ferelden and Orlais going as far back as Origins, or even farther in in-game lore. All we know about them so far, is that they supposedly recruited Inquisition soldiers to their cause during the events of Inquisition and knew about the impending threat of Solas and the Evanuris, and met with dignitaries and spies in Ferelden, during which time Solas took out a pair of them to prevent them spilling details on his activities. Going back, it makes a certain amount of sense that they've been pulling strings this whole time, given certain aspects of the lore. For one, Loghain suddenly betraying Cailan and going mad was a point of contention in-game due to the lack of reasoning- some reasoned it was due to old age, or experience with world events and him being a paranoid pragmatist. But if he was being manipulated by spectors or by some foreign power whispering in his ear metaphorically, then it makes a bit of sense why he went crazy after decades of loyalty and respect. For Bertrand, kinda less sense because the lyrium idol he stole was supposedly behind everything he did, but maybe the Executors were behind its placement? With this installment, they set up a shit ton of useful loose ends, with terrible storytelling. We still have threats like Knight-Commander Meredith, the angry woken Titans, the Chantry and whatever is left of Tevinter- let's also not forget the Qunari, who were supposed to invade Ferelden decades ago in-canon. We have the dwarves regaining their magic after however many millennia without it, the elves scattered and in a worse state than they have ever been in- still not regaining their old magic or immortality, Mythal/Flemeth regaining their power and memories, the Inquisitor, Hawke and Hero of Ferelden all still in the wind. And add to that, the Executors, who I have a feeling might actually be the mythical Forgotten Ones- the other half of the Elven Pantheon, who were said to be allies of Solas prior to him banishing the gods to the Fade. It would make sense, given that they've been pulling strings and avoided active involvement in this conflict up until the ending. If that is the case, then keeping that Lyrium Dagger will be important...
@@mastrostrom5383 Nothing. They are not in the game and they are not even mentioned in fact they do not exist for Veilguard BioWare got rid of the Morgan family and ruined her as a character (at least it looks that way). If you are DA Origins fan, it is better not to play this part (at least many people say so).
literally Precursors bullshit. however to give some credit there are some questions left to be answered: who gave the idea for the spirits to gain their physical forms (the Elvunaris), where did the Qunari come from, and finally what is the origin of humans and what is the connection of them to the Maker (dwarves come from Titans, elves come from the Elvunari)? is the Maker "real"?
If anyone bothers to mod this, start with removal of cringiest dialogue and condescending text. Like the one after sacrifice ending: With better preparation Veilguard could survive - no i hated my cannon fodders. Sorry no sorry.
So next dragon age is probably gonna be around the original 6 mages who entered the creators home based on end credits scene. Hopefully they'll make it so you play as a grey warden again as DAO is my favourite out the series
@MrDeflador which means the other 4 remain and could loop previous locations and characters/ heroes back into the series, especially with them usually being the cause for blights if I remember the lore from origins correctly
Except for the post credit scene - not a fan of the forgotten ones - I actually love the story and endings. They writers really tied almost everything together nice - this coming from a fan who owns all WOT volumes, read stuff on forums and wiki since the beginning.

They’ve left it open for the “forgotten ones” and titans who the blight actually came from as a result of the elves severing the titans spirits from their forms. So in the next game (if people could stop shitting on this series so we can get continuations instead of the internet murdering everything it gets its grubby hands on) I feel like we could possibly get a worsen. Everyone be nice and give genuine none hateful criticism and we might get the games we deserve instead of the trollop shit that come out as a result of but hurt fans throwing tantrums that “a piece of modern artwork and story telling made by people telling stories about a made up universe for fun” isn’t exactly the way they wanted it to be. Veil guard was an awesome installation to DA and I can’t wait to play it day in day out. I hope there’s DLC and I hope the haters won’t kill this game. Remember how there were so many retouches and added lore with dlc and patches of Origins, DA2, Mass Effects and others. Had people outrage killed those games when there was issues in the releases we wouldn’t have these series.
@@witchsandwerewolfs not to mention the foreign entity who makes another appereances in the end credit, afterall, in Inquisition and Tevinter Nights, they were mentioned too
So they purposefully made a game where we cant choose if we want the veil to fall? Cowards.
All I'm hearing is 'do you want to genocide the entire world'?
This has never been a game series about being a psychopath that does things to be sadistic.
They didn't probably because they wanna make a sequel
They want everything to look good, all about rainbow and sunshine like "no no no it's bad we can't offend people, we have to do good deeds"
@@swagdaddy8298 And what on Earth is wrong with that? Go play BO6 if you want to see the World burn.
We never had that choice though, in no other game in the series, not on DAO, DA2, DAI
Hell, even other games from other companies, it's very rare to see one that lets you END THE FUCKING WORLD, most understandably make it a "game over" when that happens
The Solas romance ending makes no sense. The Inquisitor already tried to talk him out of it and failed. But now years later it is suddenly different. Couldn't Flemmeth/Mythal just have released him from service back when they met at the end of the Inquisition, thereby avoiding being killed by him?
The characters in this franchise used to have depth, flaws, and secrets. The world was full of lore, mystery and unanswered questions. It kept the fanbase going all these years, deep dive into the story and lore, lots of interesting, complex and deep theories and discussions. I feel like any of the fan theories I've seen, though the years are deeper, more interesting, and fit better with the lore established in previous games. What we got just seems tame in comparison.
Ahhh that’s what it is. The game doesn’t match shitty fan theories so it sucks. Origins didn’t have depth. Everyone was so one dimensional you just let nostalgia run wild
@@Darinl79 In Origins the story and characters were much deeper and more diverse than in Veilguard.🤣
@@Darinl79 Lol, no. It is just that those shitty fan theories, and yes some of them have been really shitty, somehow manages to surpass what was made here. If you find the characters in previous games boring and one dimensional, then that's on you, I think their popularity speaks for itself.
Whats really the problem is that fans expected an continuation of what made the previous games a succes. Had they just made it clear from the start that they were going to reboot it as a light hearted linear action game, then fans could have had time to make their peace with it. Instead we got this massive disappointment.
No it is not a bad game, its a perfectly fine 6-7/10 action game, and I might have enjoyed it for what it is, had it not shat all over the dragon age legacy and its fans.
So Solas, the mastermind from the previous game who was always one step forward is a total idiot.
It doesn't matter if you revolted against Flemeth in DAO, or she gave Morrigan the green light in the previous game to live in peace, she gets Morrigans body anyway, and Kieran is non canon.
@@vancodusan9554 the story of veilguard is a Total disrespect for fans
Wait for real!
@@vancodusan9554 and the well of sorrow choice is useless... I was so intrigued about the implication it had to Mythal, being her servant. Wasted plotential
Im not disagreeing but I think that maybe, just maybe, there is a possibility that Mythal got into Morrigan's body after Inquisition where we see her push that wisp of her soul through the Eluvian before she gives the rest of her power to Solas. If true, it would not make Kieran non canon, just not mentioned.
Even masterminds can make dumb decisions when their emotions get the better of them. That's part of the story Veilguard's trying to *tell* .
Do the writers not see how insane it is that Mythal sets Solas free from slavery *while enslaving Morrigan*? Imagine if Cazador in BG3 sets Astarion free out of the goodness of his heart while keeping all of his other thralls and this is portrayed as the heartwarming 'best' ending.
I mean, I kind of assumed the part where she left morrigans body was permanent. Would’ve been better if they outright stated that, I suppose.
Does she, though? I see a puff of green when Mythal manifests but that's no guarantee she won't fuck with Morrigan again
Everything we did in Origins doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that we protected Morrigan from Flemeth, it doesn't matter whether she was married to HoF, whether she has a son or not, all of this is in fact recognized as non-canon, just like DA2. This game spits in the face of many original fans. The whole game is made for solavellan.
@@БогданМаксименко-ь4э DA2 ?! DA2 is a literall masterpiece compared to that crap, i mean definitly a downgrade from origins to DA2 but still it wasnt that shit and it didnt shit on the whole lore and choices made by the fanbase, this is just dissapointing and depressing man literally nothing positive from this like its just a woke mess made by bastards who prolly never oalyed a dragon age ever.
@@diegosworld5388 It seems you misunderstood me, I meant that everything we did in Origins and DA2 was basically thrown out and forgotten by the developers. And I agree that DA2 is a masterpiece compared to Veilguard, especially considering that DA2 was made in just 16 months and the then development team didn't have enough time to make it really good, but even despite this, they moved saves and made about 20 quests that depended on decisions made in Origins. The new team of developers just spat in the face of the fans of the first two parts and didn't recognize all the decisions from them and most of Inquisition.
Im grateful for not being able to waste money on the game. Besides the woke mess and the terrible design choices the lore was either retconned or disneyfied into non-existence... this is like GoT season 8 all over again 😅
@@БогданМаксименко-ь4э yeah man im sorry i misunderstood, i thought you were saying that da2 and this game spit in the face of the original fans.
Like you said despite the 16 months of developpement da2 was pretty good and decent and took account of the choices made in origins, its not even anger that i feel its just pure sadness so many memories from origins to inquisition just ruined by that crap.
@@diegosworld5388 Yes, it's sad that such a franchise with such potential as Dragon Age turned into this nonsense. We can only console ourselves with the first three really good parts, and Veilguard does not exist for me personally. Instead, I made my own headcanon 🙃.
The secret after credits scene....this whole game was literally written by tumblr fanatic rolplayers...dragon age is dead long live dragon age
I wish there was a Solas wins ending, just cuz I don't want to play any future dragon age entries
I knew somehow in this message crap, it would make Solas a freaking wimp. He was so confident and awesome in the Trespasser DLC ending, to this. I hate when they make the men weak for no reason, but to appease Reddit people that don't play games.
i was hoping there's a ending where solas teardown the veil, but nope i guess...
@@aqlanimations4822 Solas is the way he is because current Bioware is to scared to do an extremely high magic high fantasy setting for a game. That's it! "I have to do my job and come up with something cool? No that too hard." It's lower than woke it's enforced incompetence.
@@zmark7843 Have a guy prevail in modern US games, not happening lol, they can't even have a villian male be competent. They ended Varric in the stupidest way, Imagine if you could have Hawke there to take the blow, or react to Varric, these writers are Dumb/sses
@@aqlanimations4822I agree that Trespasser dlc was epic and well written, the ending of DAV is a bit poor and average from my point of view. But Solas is not a weak Man, emotions are not a weakness. He was a character deeply tormented from his past and from his actions and Mythal set him free. I'm glad to see him finally letting go of the past. There are many things I didn't like about DAV but what can we do? The game is done. The franchise ends here for me with its good and bad
The manipulating of old characters,especially the one with Logain,was full on cheap and lazy.
They need a new villain to have a continuation of their paycheck. That's why the Aveng... I mean the Veilguard was formed HAHAHAHAHAHA. EFFIN CRAP FOR A STORY WRITING
"NO you see the Lore Master is gone so I'm in charge therefore my lore is cannon that makes it better, see bigger and badder and worse, that better." Watch it be the The Forbidden Ones. the loser demons you bend over a basin in very Dragon Age game.
@@MusicaX79it’s the Executors. BioWare have been trying to subtly set them up since a series of war table missions in Inquisition (they didn’t do a very good job). They look and sound exactly how they’re described in Tevinter Nights
Taking away a characters agency is a pretty bad way to build something new
This I agree with, they should not mess with that
Can you imagine if we got the HOF, Hawke and the Inquisitor for one final showdown? The warden who has experience fighting a blight and is one of the most respected Grey Wardens to date. Hawke, who is a general nutcase and has no idea what he's doing but we love him. And the Inquisitor who, depending on your story, has the most reason to want to see Solas fail/win and has experience with end-of-the-world scenarios. Instead...
We got Rook... a half-baked daycare worker who Varric probably found while drunk and desperate.
@@Gl1tchPix1e THIS right here.
"It's the final boss and he's this big godlike being, how should we finish the game?"
"Physically overpower his 9 foot tall ass with a knife, then cut his throat without breaking a sweat and make a grumpy face at him."
Truly this generation's greatest of stories.
Fr fight against Corypheus was better than this.
Cool! Thank you for saving me $79.99.
Im sorry but if they wanted to connect this new group of villains to dragon age origins they shouldn't have connected them to logahin it kinda ruins his character especially if youve read the books. If they wanted to show that they "guided" events they should have connected them to the first blight. Maybe show Duncan instead to show that they guided him to the Hero of Fereldan for a reason.
It's a shame that you couldn't support Solas in bringing down the veil.
I'm probably the only person here who sees Inquisition as a masterpiece. Go back and you'll realize although it's not Origins it's at the top but this Veilguard is horrific.
I wish there was an ending where solas wins.
I was hoping for that too
Wait the "bad ending" is the best ending wtf.
"Bad ending" being the most based thing i ever saw.
Fr man I would choose the bad ending every time
Idd everything else was far too disney...
the Final Act should have been Inquisitor fighting solace defeating him once and for all
YES!!!!! Where is the option where my Inquisitor can kill this big-eared bastard? I hated him for his betrayal in the Inquisition, and my Inquisitor swore revenge on him. Where is the Inquisitor's revenge?!
@@alinakirill
Dragon Age Inquisition is the best game that I have ever played it got me through some dark times of my life
Story of a man
who was falsely accused for the crimes that he hadn't commits
a prisoner who became a leader
a leader who became an Inquisitor
an Inquisitor who drinked from The Well of Sorrows and went physically into the fade to come back alive
a myth
a walking Legend worthy of godhood in the realm of men
bro ...
just imagine what this game could have been The Clash of myths ...
The herald of Adrastea vs The Dread wolf.
truly makes me sad that we never get to play the game that we deeply wish Veilguard was
Varic died, the franchise went with him, it will definitely be the last game
@@BlackXief Yes I think the same, with his death the franchise is closed and so with the disappear of many other old characters we won't see anymore. For me DA ends here
Shoulda stayed viscount of Kirkwall 💀
@@BlackXief does Varric in every outcome?
@@LadybirdEm he kinda couldn't considering Kirkwall has been evacuated and overrun by the cartoon Darkspawn.
@@BlackXief well, all the people who demanded it fail because it dared to be different in any way got what they wanted. Something to hate.
Hooray! And **** everyone who wanted something to enjoy because we do not matter.
So rather hilariously, to get the most emotionally impactful ending to the game, you should just carry over the 3 choices the game wanted you to make, and make a few right choices in this game. Meaning that Bioware's cannon is basically that the inquisitor was a female elf that romanced solas and never gave up on him.
As a standalone, this game isn't bad. Compared to the prior Dragon Age installments, this game isn't good.
Like mass effect andromeda in a way.
Yep agree
That's because this game had much more budget and time. The first dragon age was made by an small team compared to this one.
@@glowhoo9226 Andromeda was buggy on release though. This game seen to be polished and very well optimised for PC. It also has no DRM protection
@@travisbickle4360 I'm 10 hours in and have encountered a couple bugs. The makeup set in CC didn't appear in game, I had to do it again via the mirror. Also, the wardrobe in Rook's room removes her hair when trying to change outfit appearances.
Obviously the one with a romanced inquisitor is the best one but there's something extremely cathartic about outsmarting egghead 😌
Agreed
Got tired of his stuff and all the trouble he did.
Lol that "secret ending." Did they think they'll get another budget to make another game after gaslighting anyone that disagrees with them.
Seriously, this game is a slap to the face but we knew that with the way they treated the creative team and forced everyone out
The romanced solas ending is so cringey , what is that awkward emotionless kiss😨, I would rather have my romanced inquisitor solo him, and see if he could actually kill her for stopping him.
Watching the endings so I don’t have to play the game
Lol same
1) No tactical party gameplay
2) no story decisions from other games, the ones that made this franchise...
3) No actual story decisions and dilemma's in this game... In any dragon age there were options where i would just think for hours and regret a choice through an entire gameplay... WTH is there left after this?
When I read some of the reviews, some of them have kind of pointless positive remarks. Oh the game is "beautiful", oh ok... Not only do I disagree, I think the majority of players don't give a damn about it... There is a plethora of games out there with minimalistic graphics and great gameplay... Heck one of the most played mmorpg's is effing runescape...
Apparently you also give a game a good review if you have high FPS and when a new game isn't a total bug riddled mess... I thought those things were the absolute basics, but ok...
This is not dragon age... Yes they tried something new bla bla bla. Never change a winning team is what I always say... When I buy FIFA, i buy FIFA and not PES...
We all loved dragon age for
1) it's complex party play
2) dark gritty story and tone
3) a lore filled world where some stories were answered and new mysteries were created.
Some of the biggest topics of other games were not even mentioned... Red Lyrium anyone? Did the name Andraste come up in this game at all? WTH happened literally and figuratively with the QUN? Talking darkspawn? If the Elven Gods can just create darkspawn, not to mention all the darkspawn are the same. No more shriekers, genlock, hurlock and oggres. There are just 2 types now. The Hurlocks and the oggres... Who then creates or created the broodmothers? The darkspawn couldn't have possessed the knowledge to create them themselves. So the broodmothers and/or the genetical instinct to create them has to be created. Then why the hell wouldn't you spawn broodmothers instead?
What new mystery did we get in this one? We have questions, but that's only thanks to their blunt decisions... The only question i really have is, are the blights really over? Not to mention that they say in the game that this blight was the worst blight of all! Yet it lasted what, a week or two?... I remember the previous blights being much more destructive to be called the "blightiest of blights"...
The game ends with the last blight. So they give us one clear answer. Yes the archdemons were the "Elven Gods"... And with the last 2 Elven Gods gone, no more blights. And thus literally ends the dragon age... This can't be a reboot, a reboot would bring us back in the same kind of position as DAI...
This was just horribly made...
bad end best ending, now we wont see them in the next one, if theres ever going to be a next one
I hope it won't. A lot of important characters are gone. I see no reason to keep it up with a new DA.
i find it highly funny that the "bad" ending is actually the one with the most impact and feeling makes you feel like it really was a suicide mission of sorts to face a god.
Huh, there is a redemption ending for him, after all. And the Inquisitor romance is the best
Oh, and that Trespasser theme reprise tho 👌
I heard it too. It was great.
Probably the most the series has gotten to a bad ending since Darkspawn Chronicles
idk if I'm alone in this....but i thought there is a horrible ooc behavior
but i do love the trespasser theme music. it made me cry
When Mythal appears you can see how tormented Solas is as character, I'm glad he is finally free from his past
so mythal is using morrigans body like a flesh puppet..
Bad ending is true ending of this game. Modern BioWare made Solas a wimp. The old guard would never have done that.
This game has a lot of issues, but the best ending isnt one of them.
All these endings 😢😢😢
Wow. They did solas dirty. As much as they did the story. Smh 😢
Why can't I help Solas, I wanted to bring the real Thedas back
Can you upload the version where it redeemed Solas ending but the inq are just good friends with Solas and not lovers?
So you past choices doesn’t even matter what a garbage game
HE WANTS TO GIVE WISDOM NOT ORDERS WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT SOLAS BW 😭😭😭😭
I hate a lot of things in the game but his line " Im a fool, who finally met his match" somehow was good, touching the right spot.
Don't know I found tricking Solas more satisfying than redeeming him he deserves his fate for what he did to Varric
solas would NEVER stab varric like a dog he would immobilize him with his magic but never kill, neither would he have said "I AM A GOD"
This game is horse sh..t
Why can 80% of the characters look so bad? (I'm not targeting anyone specific).
Wonderful, I never have to wait for a sequel to this game again.
Good; now I don't even need to buy the game.
The first ending is the best and the saddest one for me. That music before Solas and inquisitor left, the lost elf theme. It is sad because I did not want that ending for the inquisitor. I still find him/her the best Dragon Age protagonist.
23:30 Oh, no, the upside down triangle with two waving lines, these are Those Across The Sea, masters of the Executors. So they are villains after all.
oh so these are like the Qunari backers right?
@@shadow7179 doubtful, they are mentioned only once in DAI, in the letters from the Executors if the Inquisitor and Leliana decide to investigate their activities. They are not mentioned in DAO or DA2, so them standing behind Loghain's betrayal and Bartrand's madness is very strange retcon.
The Executors are like the Illuminati or Mason conspiracies of Thedas, so Those Across the Sea would be like reptiloids from Nibiru.
"You were never ready to make the sacrifices that leadership requires." NO! NO! THAT IS NOT SOLAS' FLAW! THAT SHOULD NOT BE HIS DOWNFALL! I hate this. The writers didnt understand the character, and now they've ruined him forever.
SkillUp said the final 2 hours are great. This doesn't look great at all
As a stand-alone this seemed serviceable to me. As a DA continuation? Horrible.
ME3 ending all over again, f. LMAO .... in wild nightmares i didn't thought this series gonna go out like THIS.
same 😭
It makes me sad that the "best ending" is supposed to be talking about how sad you are for a megalomaniacal racist with a god complex instead of just flattening him like he deserves. Pretty much exactly what I've feared for the last 10 years. If I actually bother picking up the game I'll be making a point to avoid the "best" scenario.
Okay 👍beauty of video games
@@IWasCaptainPanda i think you missed the point of solas if you break him down like that.
@@graye2799 Oh, I got the point that they want people to think he's some deep complex character because he made a frowny face and said he was sad about murder a couple times, but they've been flubbing it since Trespasser since he could always have just NOT COMMITTED MURDER but chooses to do it anyway because he used to be called a "god" and therefore thinks nobody should be able to hold him accountable.
But heck, in the "good" and "normal" endings, his true face comes out quite clearly.
We should've seen it coming with Weekes becoming a main writer and his die-hard love for Solas and his romance. I also feared this would happen
@@IWasCaptainPanda wtf? You kind of miss the point. Solas entire goal is to bring down the veil, something that would be very destructive to the current order, but in his mind, would be better in the long run. You aren't going to be able to do that without getting your hands dirty. He also doesn't kill anyone he doesn't need to.
At least they gave us Inquisition and Tresspasser main theme
Why on Earth does Vhenan have both hands? Solas took it last time they met in the DLC....
This is some terrible soppy dialogue too.
Think it's a prosthetic.
God, after seeing these endings, currently playing through act one… I deleted the game… terrible writing, plot holes… Solas never wanted to be called a god, I don’t even feel like my rook matters as a character, the highlight so far was meeting my old inquisitor who immediately felt more like my own character.
I am just astounded, this game reads like a tumblr fan fic.
Lame and stunted. Played prior DA games, even Inquisition which until Trespasser came out, was atrocious. Wasn't planning to play this. Thank you to author for posting endings video, because that confirmed - Bioware has been dead for years. Good riddance.
Wait didnt the inquisitor lose his/her arm at the end of the last game?
@@heeroheero8844 i think it might be a fake arm
The inquisitor's wearing a gauntlet on their left hand. It checks out.
The Inquisitor gets a fake arm as mentioned in one of his/her endings for Inquisition. Most likely get it no matter what during the 10 year time skip.
@@orrthehunter there is no ending where it mentions a fake arm. The inquisitor's arm is gone in the ending of Trespasser from the shoulder
@@Freakium_o7 ya but there arm supposed to be missing from the shoulder
Such a disappointment
This is so much worse than I had ever thought possible
So what does it mean...? Solas and the Inquisitor go in the veil and die together or what?
they are permanently bonded to the veil (they straight up lose their mortal forms) so yes the two of them in that ending are very dead
Ya so morrigan didn’t drink from the well my lavellan inquisitor did so I call bs on this
And there goes the mystery of the darkspawn.
The fake dagger ending is my favorite 😂
I’m very happy to see the Inquisitor and Solas get a happy ending, even if they die in process. The good ending is what I’ll be aiming for. If you don’t mind me asking, how do get it? Are there any requirements to do so?
They don't die, he even says "where I'm going is terrible"
@@TheElderDragon7519 They try to quell Archdemon and delay blight as long as possible.
@MelodyofCelts super confused on this part. Are they going in the veil?
@@Lanaaaaa45ya know that is an excellent question, my best guess is they're going into the Fade
Me watching the video: Ah, uh... what?... em... fuck... meh... cry... snif...zzz... wake up!... well, RIP Bioware again... thank you for the upload, bye :(
This is some Blizzard level writing.
Why bad ending? Seems lik the best ending to me, very logical.
Thank you! I’ve been looking forward to this game for so many years but I just can’t get myself to play it. Maybe some day. I just can’t stand the art direction.. I’m satisfied knowing my Inquisitor reunited with Solas.
Garbage. Best RPG game company and a legendary RPG series died with this too. RIP
Wait, so who is this group that are causing all these "canon events"?
Although I'm not really happy about the happy ending romance with Solas it was enough closer for the chapter I wanted to end. I didn't want to buy the game just to see it tho due to my own issues with it, like the new combat. So thank you.
Kieran being non canon cause Morrigan got possessd by flemeth means the warden died in origins.
The Warden dying while killing the Archdemon has been BioWare’s default since 2014
@yang6642 I'm glad they're chosen Canon events, that means destroy ending is Canon ending for mass 3 too.
I beg your pardon, there is no "bad" ending at all 😂
now i dont hafta play the game, thanks :)
Господи, какая же кринжатина.(((
Лайк за заливку, 100 лучей поноса тем, кто это все сотворил.
I knew it! I f-ing knew it! There is no choice actually affecting the ending (everyone lives, everyone dies or you trick Solas, no accepting Solas plan)!
So no matter the ending, the Veil remains- the only major changes are who dies, and who maintains the Veil. In the Best Ending, everyone lives, Mythal is saved and potentially merged back together as a full goddess, Solas is redeemed, and the world has hope. In the Good Ending, Solas is banished, and seems to realize that his plan failed entirely, resigning himself to death, but everyone lives. In the Normal Ending, lotsa people die but Solas is trapped and enraged, potentially returning for the next game as a secondary threat. In the Bad Ending, everyone dies, Solas and the Rook are trapped in the Veil, very injured but likely alive together, albeit imprisoned. Bioware really showed that they're afraid of actual bad endings here- they want happy endings, with cherries on top, but they had to make the bad one a little sad but not catastrophic. A true BAD ending would have been Solas merging the real world with Fade, completing the ritual and assuming his place as their new God. A decent middle ground would have been Solas and Rook merging the Fade and the physical world together, using Mythal as its anchor, thus securing her as their primary focus for the next game.
Oh, and now we get to see the Executors, the "greater powers", we've only heard a little about from Inquisition and its external content- basically foreign entities, perhaps even spirits, who have been pulling strings in Ferelden and Orlais going as far back as Origins, or even farther in in-game lore. All we know about them so far, is that they supposedly recruited Inquisition soldiers to their cause during the events of Inquisition and knew about the impending threat of Solas and the Evanuris, and met with dignitaries and spies in Ferelden, during which time Solas took out a pair of them to prevent them spilling details on his activities. Going back, it makes a certain amount of sense that they've been pulling strings this whole time, given certain aspects of the lore. For one, Loghain suddenly betraying Cailan and going mad was a point of contention in-game due to the lack of reasoning- some reasoned it was due to old age, or experience with world events and him being a paranoid pragmatist. But if he was being manipulated by spectors or by some foreign power whispering in his ear metaphorically, then it makes a bit of sense why he went crazy after decades of loyalty and respect. For Bertrand, kinda less sense because the lyrium idol he stole was supposedly behind everything he did, but maybe the Executors were behind its placement?
With this installment, they set up a shit ton of useful loose ends, with terrible storytelling. We still have threats like Knight-Commander Meredith, the angry woken Titans, the Chantry and whatever is left of Tevinter- let's also not forget the Qunari, who were supposed to invade Ferelden decades ago in-canon. We have the dwarves regaining their magic after however many millennia without it, the elves scattered and in a worse state than they have ever been in- still not regaining their old magic or immortality, Mythal/Flemeth regaining their power and memories, the Inquisitor, Hawke and Hero of Ferelden all still in the wind. And add to that, the Executors, who I have a feeling might actually be the mythical Forgotten Ones- the other half of the Elven Pantheon, who were said to be allies of Solas prior to him banishing the gods to the Fade. It would make sense, given that they've been pulling strings and avoided active involvement in this conflict up until the ending. If that is the case, then keeping that Lyrium Dagger will be important...
In other words, one threat destroyed so even a bigger one can come to pass, just like in DA2, and DAI.
A downward-pointed triangle with two wavy lines... So the next game villain will be the f**king executors?
@@mastrostrom5383 Nothing. They are not in the game and they are not even mentioned in fact they do not exist for Veilguard BioWare got rid of the Morgan family and ruined her as a character (at least it looks that way). If you are DA Origins fan, it is better not to play this part (at least many people say so).
So who…are the hooded figures in the secret ending?
literally Precursors bullshit. however to give some credit there are some questions left to be answered: who gave the idea for the spirits to gain their physical forms (the Elvunaris), where did the Qunari come from, and finally what is the origin of humans and what is the connection of them to the Maker (dwarves come from Titans, elves come from the Elvunari)? is the Maker "real"?
They are the Dei retardz who made this assss game
If anyone bothers to mod this, start with removal of cringiest dialogue and condescending text. Like the one after sacrifice ending: With better preparation Veilguard could survive - no i hated my cannon fodders. Sorry no sorry.
The "best ending" is really amazing actually. Finally I can get something that is a really good ending for everyone and not something bittersweet
Okay, but imagine how based it would have been to help Solas tear down the veil and just destroy the world anyways? Even if it wasn't Cannon 😂
So next dragon age is probably gonna be around the original 6 mages who entered the creators home based on end credits scene. Hopefully they'll make it so you play as a grey warden again as DAO is my favourite out the series
We already Met two: corypheus and the architect.
@MrDeflador which means the other 4 remain and could loop previous locations and characters/ heroes back into the series, especially with them usually being the cause for blights if I remember the lore from origins correctly
Veilguard is a solavellan dlc and i love it
U forgot about 6 ending. 6 ending its a Bioware and dragon age ending lol. Rip dragon age 2024
So we end it all with a lame Power point presentation instead doing what a 15 year old game did back in 2009.
Except for the post credit scene - not a fan of the forgotten ones - I actually love the story and endings. They writers really tied almost everything together nice - this coming from a fan who owns all WOT volumes, read stuff on forums and wiki since the beginning.
Honestly the normal an bad ending are the best endings 😅
Killed the series goodbye dragonage.
Well those endings have left me...apathetic and kind of bored.
Im just glad I didn't waste money buying this game and can just watch the train wreck on youtube. Farewell BioWare.
Is there any requirement for the inquisitor saves solas ending?
