- Dragon Age: The Veilguard Previews are out, and I'm still not convinced this is going to deliver as a Dragon Age fan, but I'm willing to check it out when it releases.

The change in design of the qunari was enough to make me pass
Which one?
All of them, they all look like Yakub.
I do miss when devs were brave enough to have a vision that didn't squarely revolve around the modern world.
wont change until yall dont buy shit and let them flop
You're looking for Kojima games ;)
Once afeminate man and masculine women took over, everything has been worse in all areas of life.
They are trying to reshape reality and delete the past... even if 99% of people hate it.
Not buying it.
This isn't the Dragon Age I remember. I'm no longer the target audience.
Not wasting money on this one.
Agreed.
Me too
Waste your money on me

You nailed Dragon Age from Origins to Inquisition perfectly. It’s only been downhill since the second game and Bioware has been running on nostalgia for its IPs instead of creating actual good games.
Bioware is dead.
They got rid of Varic’s chest hair. Enough said.
Heresy!
SPOILERS:
According to one vid I saw of the play testing, they got rid of VARRIC. I had a bad feeling, but yeah. Looks like the speculation was correct.
Cmon people let's be honest people. Anyone who supports genital mutilation propaganda on children and pretends this isn't an issue is cosigning and enabling this bs leftwing radicalization in gaming. Besides all the gameplay and lore issues. Why would I play a game about medieval fantasy and escape if there is political modern day BS in it😂?

Agree that character models look weird. Proportions are awkward. Ui is also not great. But the environments look stunning. I think art style is quite good. Also cleanness is lore reason. First game was at ferelden. Ferelden is mostly medieval human civilisation. They are tired because of long conflicts. That’s why it looks darker. This game is at Tevinter. They are the most advanced civilisation.
Yes. But. The setting in general used to be Dark Fantasy. Has nothing to do with the continent. The existence of Darkspawn. The existence of Blood Magic and Demons (actually more releveant in Tevinter than in Ferelden). Backstabbing, intrigue, grabs for power. Cruel histories of racism and bloodshed and deep theological themes.
AI knows what attractive characters look like, these designs are made this way on purpose...
I can't wait to be called names by the Devs for not buying this.
Oh you don't have to wait! Go onto any of the "community panel" channels and make a passing mention of being "concerned" or "unsure" in amongst a wall of praise from the game... they'll put you right in your place. The amount of channels I've followed for YEARS and blocked over the past month is bonkers. SO many creators passing on the dev's disdain for "origins fanboys" and "oldschool gamers" and "origins outdated and slow gameplay". The gaslighting and cult mentality is very real.

I'm tired of good games coming out, then getting sequels that are way too different from the original game. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I mean, eventually you get to a point where artistic iteration on the product goes too far and it's no longer a similar product.
I've never heard someone say "We shall see" so many times in one video
not enough conviction to take a stand and make a choice
I’m not about to say a game is good or bad without even playing it. That’s one of the biggest issues in game reviews nowadays, someone will play a game for 2 hours and call it goty or gutter trash.
@@rurikhan I get what you mean! I just found it funny is all. There are so many pros and cons it's kind of just a "we shall see" game at the moment.
You know what's wild to me I just thought of this. The game kind of looks like "Forspoken" to me
Paying youtubers to make gaslit marketing videos doesnt make the game good they give minor criticism to make it seem like theyre unbiased than praise literally everything
Ah yes the good old conspiracy theorist approach
@@MerrillDragonAgeUbisoft is literally trying the gaslight people into buying AC Shadows lol WTF are you talking about?
@coreydillon4330 exactly it isn't a conspiracy theory if it can be proven
@@coreydillon4330 I'll take your word for it
@@MerrillDragonAge Access journalism is a thing
I'll just be waiting until it's released and decide.
I’m not sold on this at all.
I have a feeling that the people currently reviewing the game are being disingenuous to the consumer in service of the company.
They invited too many to buy them all. And some of those reviewers like Wolfheartfps are pretty respected.
The art style looks safe, bland, and boring.
Gritty dark fantasy would've been the way to go, but it looks like they just went for broad appeal over quality.
It is what it is, EA wants $ so they genuinely don't care what the game looks like as long as it's projected to make more $ they go with that option.
According to skill up and luke stephens, the game is dark for the most part from what they played. So let's see on release.
@@xyr3s Shill Up and Luke Shillens
People have such rose tinted glasses for the Dragon Age franchise. The games have always been in this weird, janky, visionless state. I think people are just finally seeing it.
been a fan of Dragon Age since Origins. it’s crazy what it’s turned into and i cannot get behind it. i hope it’s a wake up call and they make the game we’ve been fucking asking for for over 10 years lol
this is a $20 game for me. it just makes me wanna go do another Origins run and revisit KOTOR, and that’s exactly what i’m gonna do.
@@Lusacan same here, just redownloaded Origins to my PC. If these game makers keep these trends up, people like us will continue to tune out. We have more than enough favorites to replay, and a huge backlog to get through lol
Same, on the positive side by the time it hits $20 the modders might have made it better!
I'm in the middle of my first Origins play through. I have a huge backlog, so may not get to this game until it is on deep discount.
Dwarves can't be mages in Dragon Age lore, there's never been an exception to that rule.... until now.
Check the dragon age wiki for Dwarfs if you dont believe me.
@@Joe-it2dh i saw an interview with the developers and none of them knew anything about the other dragon age games. Heck none of them knew who zevran was so not suprised by this making a dwarf mage Even though the they can only work runes.
@@timjacobsen253 tbf, the descent sets up a possible explenation for why thats the case, the descent is a dlc for inquisition.
wether they'll have remembered that or not...i dont know
This looks like a bargain bin type of game that not worth spending more than $4.99 on, until then I'll just play dozens of other games that have come out this year that are significantly better.
And even then you can find actual hidden gems for that amount.
This doesn’t look like a DA experience. Could be good, but definitely a departure.
What exactly is a Dragon Age experience, though? Each game has been vastly different from its predecessor.
@@ninjafohhiya they all had a similar gameplay, you could constantly switch between characters, deploy spells ans skills, create much more detailed strategies that made you actually feel like a commander, this game does not have that, they removed every aspect (shown so far) that made dragon age gameplay be dragon age gameplay. What they present here is nothing but a failed attempt to create a similar feeling, wich they faild as of now.
@@JoaoPedro-pc7mq i think that's just one aspect. But each dragon age game has been almost different from each other.
WolfheartFPS had a take similar to yours, and I agree with both of you
@@ChimpoTalksGaming The diference is that one played the game te other didn’t. Wolfheart is a guy from crpg’s.
Yep, same. They're also the ONLY channels I've found that don't actively flame anyone who's expressing any kind of concern. I've blocked a LOT of my favourite creators this month, because they've suddenly decided to start piping into the comments with censure about any kind of negative opinions about THIS game, while they supported constructive dialogue about every other game they cover. It's baffling and frankly a little bit creepy.
@@nunoleitao1231? what is that even supposed to mean
Combinations have been in every bioware title from the mass effect and dragon age franchises. They keep trying to pass this off as a "new feature", yet every game had it, even ME1 and DAO, with warp, and all other combinations in the DAO codex.
This will be the first BioWare game I don’t buy
Welcome to the no-buy-Bioware club! Wish I had never bought DA II and ME: Andromeda, personally. But I learned after that.
I hated the reveal trailer, was Lukewarm on the first gameplay reveal but after the previews I actually kind of like it.
Not going to rush out to buy it but will see how it reviews. Probably 70% a purchase from me at the min, there’s nothing much else that’s coming out at the minute that really interests me.
Damn, those games that put circles on the floor to show the player the area of effect of a hostile attack, so immersion breaking....
One of the biggest problems for me is how they make companions essentially degraded into human-sized accessories, enemies wont even attack them when next to them, all the aggro is on the MC, the companion AI is also tuned to just pretty much waiting for you to give order for wombo-combos. In the first 2 games, if you tweak companion tactics well, you can have a hand-free experience on nightmare difficulty, and it's very rewarding to me. It is sad to see Dragon Age being morphed into Mass Effect + God of Assassin's Witcher, also sad that no one's making RTWP games with tactics tweaking ( from what I've played, only Pillars 2 has that). Moreover, mass effect's gameplay is largely TPS, I'm doubtful that does it hold up here without guns.
People saying this gonna be reliving mass effect 2 experience is like what are they smoking 😂
@@waleedangel1385 well they played it lol
because it likely feels like that to play which is fine good even, but it's not dragon age feel
I don’t smoke but if I can get some of that I might start 😂
It doesn’t look like it resembles Dragon Age Origins at all. I want an Origins 2, not this.
@eatupsidedown try baldur's gate 1,2, icewindale 1,2, and never winter nights. That's the shit origins was inspired from. Loved those games. If you are stuck on origins love, give those games a go. Origins was over 10 years ago, things are going to change friend :)
Sadly, the series has struggled, for its entire existence after DA1, with these artists that just toss everything form the last game because they think they know better. Makes the vibe and other things just not feel cohesive.
This is exactly how I feel. The first game was so good! I remember loading up the second one was a slap in the face
dragon age has always changed drastically over its sequels, no idea why u would expect something similar to origins
@@ciggylegz The real debate is a question of how much change like this can be tolerated before you just tell them "bro, that's a different IP". Most of these issues with NOT Dragon Age Not Dread Wolf would kind of be solved or vastly less of an issue if this was just a new IP with Dragon Age inspiration.
I guess i dont belong in this club
Not sure if I can articulate this right, but I’m feeling pretty on guard and suspicious of the videos I’ve seen lately.
Creators feel like they’re using a lot of buzzwords and stiff in their deliveries like there was an expectation placed on them on how they spoke about the features and gameplay etc. also the early criticisms being so drastically turning a content upon this wave of reviews also seems weird to me. The last thing that stood out to me is the lack of reviews stating that “this is their own words and there’s no input from devs about the review” that content creators seem to always push when they’re actually saying their opinions.
The general lack of criticisms and overly positivity just make it feel a lot more disingenuous to me. I dunno why.
It's cause they are all mostly shills that got the early access. Once it's open to the general public you'll start seeing the real takes on this game.
Your alarm bell for access media was going off. Rightly so. Manufactured positivity is a tell tale sign.
What worries me aside from the goofy art design, is the fact that the game seems to be too linear. As always game devs love to do 180° turns when listening to fan feedback. After how small and repetitive DA2 was they turned Inquisition into an offline-MMO and after the complaints about Inquisition they seem to be turning Veilguard into Final Fantasy 13. The sweetspot is the CRGP style of Dragon Age Origins. You have an open world map with decently sized instanced maps.
As for the combat, I'm way past that. I willing to accept it for what it is now.
Drag age:Veilscars
I have 0 interest in this game, it's turning an RPG series with some great tactical combat, with a wide variety of class abilities where you cna mix a lot of abilities for your team set up, into a simplistic action game with much less variety. It's such a dam waste. I guess not much else can be expected from the current Bioware. I don't knowwhat's wrong with Bioware. They can't seam to resist making insanely massive changes to their series combat systems with each game. Either in Dragon Age or Mass Effect, they pivoted pretty hard with each game. Personally, for both series, 1 and 3 are my favorites for combat systems. Yes, I know that Mass Effect 1 was too ambition for the time so it cut corners for its scope, Mass Effect 3 had its story issues, and Inquisition had the maps issue and a DLC ending that I didn't bother with but the combat is where those games win. Mass Effect 2 was fun but not the same level of freedom. Dragon Age's even numbered entries just seam cursed at this point. If they somehow survive this incoming flop, we may be in for a good Mass Effect game and a good Dragon Age game after each series will have put out unmitigated disasters. Assuming EA doesn't take them out back and shoot them after this game.
I absolutely despise that we only have 3 abilities active on our main character at one time. In Inquisition you had 8! That game was fun for variety but this looks like monotonous shit by comparison.. Yes, I know, Mass Effect 3 also cut down the powers to that but it's a shooter so more of an action game in combat anyway so it fits better than in a fantasy RPG.
Is he talking Biotic combos? The combo system was in ME3. In 1 the biotics were mainly just for making it so enemies could never move or to kill them with fall damage on the planets when you were outside, in ME2 they were just for either moving enemies out of cover or doing more damage against biotic barriers and some abilities of biotic and tech were good at breaking armor. Andromeda's only positive was its strange class system that took the ME3 system but let you make your protagonist into a Frankenstein's monster of a hybrid class. Depending on powers you chose you got passives from 2 of the classes at a time, depending on your mix of the 3 kinds of powers that you had but you could level any of them and combine the ones you got at will. The combat system sucked because the gun customization they added as convoluted and the worst part was the enemy design was so bad that none of it was worth it. ME3 has the best enemy design and combat, by light years.
The character design looks fine, I'll most likely get it at some point. From what I've seen so far it just doesn't look like a Dragonage game. The only way I can explain it to people is to say, _"Imagine playing Mortal Kombat, but they changed the art direction to be more like Capcom v/s Marvel or a Street Fighter game."_ I mean, it looks pretty cool, and if I'm being honest I do want to play it. Yet, it looks like it was made for another IP, like Disney or Pixar and this is a video game in that sorta world. I'm worried while I play it, that there will be some dark stuff happening or a story told but then it just won't hit me in the right way because I'm sparkling at the moment and the birds are chirping with happy songs! LOL, it just looks terribly wonderful but just not the right *feel* for this game franchise.
It's not for everyone
I hope it's good but... based on what I've seen personally, I don't know if it'll be what I'm looking for in a DA game.
Pretty much exactly how I feel.
Thanks for the balanced, unbiased and honest thoughts. Very much appreciated.
EA has a bad habit with announcement trailers being off, the announcement trailers for Battlefield V and Battlefield 2042 were also not reflective of the games themselves and completely out of touch with the tone of the games and the communities.
Man, I’m 100% with you as still not sold either
Man, I love you Ruri. Your commentary never fails to be spot on.
Go watch Wolf Video He pretty much will tell you 2 things 1, If you like Elder Ring Skip & 2, If you like CRPG's Skip. He so far Pretty honest on his Feeling for this Game.
After watching Luality's review of her preview I got a ffing migraine from all the colours and clutter on the screen. I was afraid of it and this is MY MAIN reason why I am definetely not buying it. I already didn't like several other things that didn't jive with me.
Tone, Dialogue, Combat system, Control ect.
But after last night's pain from watching just her vid, it was the last drop.
Bloom doesn't make the image look blurry or like Vaseline. Bad AA implementation does.
Feel the same as you buddy
to cartoony cool for the kids though
Because it looks bad
Yeah the over the top colour saturation and bloom/flare are some of my biggest gripes with the art style. The 'stage' is fine, the backdrops are gorgeous (in some shots), but the actual characters and spells are a hot mess during combat, and it's ALL masked by the flash and super-bright colours and flare. If you pause practically any combat shot at any point, you can see significant inconsistencies if you look PAST the flash and really look closely at the characters. Weapons disappear, characters become hollow, squash and stretch does WEIRD things, weapons and effects miss targets wildly while still "hitting", it's not great. If you pause DA:O, DA:2, DA:I, BG3 etc. at any point in combat, you can basically take a screenshot and use it as an action wallpaper. Not so much with this game. And it's bright enough that I know I'll end up with a migraine if I don't turn that crap down when I play.
I know a lot of people like it, but I HATE the combat too. I despise button combos and I would never choose to play an RPG with action combat. I honestly don't even care if it's "good", I freaking hate that style of combat. If I wanted to play mortal combat, I wouldn't be buying Dragon Age lol.
The blight is now a DEBUFF too. That really, REALLY ticks me off. It craps all over the lore, just like the retconning of blood magic, templars, and spirit healers.
And speaking of healers, if we "have healing back in the game", why are there scars and characters being bruised up for hours and unhealable?! I have absolutely no issue with mastectomy/top surgery - it's canon, and both Krem and Dorian talk about it being done routinely via a mix of blood and spirit healing magic - but if we're in TEVINTER, why can't we heal cleanly on command? Especially when one of the big selling points when the teaser drops started was "healing magic is back!!!".
I dunno, it has moments of looking absolutely beautiful, but the gaslighting, the bullying from BOTH sides, but particularly the 'community panel' bandwagon, and the retconning is turning me off the game even more than the combat changes and thinly veiled issues with the models and graphics. They've made it clear they want a "new" audience, and they might be right... I"m to damn old for this shit - especially when Owlcat and Larian exist. Having better options won't stop me from being salty about Dragon Age and the way it's been gutted/put back together wrong though. 😔
Mind boggling that Dragon Age Inquisition looked so much better
I can’t wait for this game to come out, it’s going to be fun to laugh at
The warning signs:
1.When they invite ppl to play specific polished sections of the game!
2.when IGN gets exclusive access!
3. EA has been trying to hard to please players to maximize the potential sales.
4.its a single player game, you dont need to pre-order you can wait for a review!
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way the comments on the dragon age page is positive and I'm surprised
Looks like a polished Dark Alliance 2021.
I won't even bother to try it.
The entire world seems to have a magenta color filter placed over it, and combat is so sterile; nothing's really happening in terms of enemies reacting to attacks, bleeding, getting cut apart... instead, all of it is replaced by flashing particles that clutter up the screen almost as bad as the UI. Add to that all the indicators for projectile targeting, splash zones, etc. and the entire screen is a complete mess during combat.
Every character looks smooth and doughy, especially the Qunari who have been completely obliterated after how awesome they looked in the last two games. Why do this?
The story is mostly a complete unknown, but none of the companions really stand out at all except the ones we have memories of from past games. What little dialogue has been put on display feels very zoomer, much like recent Disney Star Wars shows or the like.
Overall, there's just no way I'm touching this until it releases and is reviewed by content creators who haven't been greased up like pigs for the roast by EA. We just went through Star Wars Outlaws, where many of these same creators were gushing over how good it was in previews, only for it to release how it is. Corpos are counting on people to forget.
You can set all the ui on or off in the settings menu
YOu can, but Wolfheart and a few others have shown their own footage where they turned it all off and it was still like playing under a strobe. The bloom and flash and flare effects are still there, and because of the over the top saturation and ray tracing it reflects off every surface like a mirror ball.
The combat looks so boring to be honest. It just does not seem that interesting.... and not being able to swap to companions? I mean come on.... Just... no....
Yeah. The very last thing I want to think about when playing a mage is face-rolling button combos. Where's the immersion?!
Waiting on actual post release reviews. I wish they'd drop a demo and the character creator ahead of release like dragons dogma did. I think those 2 things would go a long way with assuaging/confirming peoples concerns.
I'm still on the fence. I'm not sure if I will pre-order, or wait for a sale. However, I am happy to see that the standard edition is only $60 USD, and the Deluxe Edition only includes cosmetics, no "pay to play" or early access garbage. I'm mostly interested in the story. That's about the only reason I play games, any more. Reminds me of the "choose your own adventure" books I read as a child.
@@CharlesBurleigh Luckily we have a online game rental site in England, called Boomerang Rentals. I have been using them since 360 days. I rent a lot of my games now, as it saves me money. I have popped it on my list.
It's going to be Gen Z design by committee trash. The writing is so SO bad from what was shown. Straight out of some of the later seasons of Big Bang theory. I'm surprised the game doesn't have a laught track. Then there's the visual design choices... Ooof, mobile game much? Finally, there's the combat. Looks floaty, much more like witcher than GoW 2018, combo prompts, absolute trash. I can't, for the life of me, understand the positive sentiment on this other than EA spent a lot of money to fly people to California for this preview...
PS: The difference in reception to this and Forspoken is baffling. They are cut from the same cloth except Forspoken innovated on combat...
Dragon Age Transguard. Chestslider 100% is A cup. Because bigger boobs are bad!!!! Again I cannot play what I like!
"I mean, I've jeard spme rumours about DA:V, but it can't be that bad, right. Let's watch some combat..."
Main character jumps 10 feet into the air.
"... and like that you lost me."
The game looks like a bad imitation of dragon age to me. The enemy redesigns are turbo shit
Fr. Like I remember seeing the darkspawn horde at oatagar and I could feel the tension and the sheer hopelessness of fighting them when they charged. And don’t forget the brood mother. (Not from awakening). When the one dwarven woman told the story on what it did to them was chilling.
Im interested but im waiting for a full reviews
Is that the same dwarf from the previous games? He was one of my least favorite characters and of course he's the mascot at this point lol.
Yeah I have always hated that Dward from the first moment i saw him i have hated him ;D
I like Varric, but I don't love him. He's kind of wearing out his welcome for me.
Yeah his attitude arc type I just hate
This might fall under the same case as TLOU2, where technically the game is great but the direction, along with all the emphasis of inclusivity and representation can leave the fans divided, and any discussion will always lead up to the negatives and how "woke" it is.
The more "woke" points game has, the more story might suffer, as in inserting current day politics into fantasy world, which is immersion breaking.
Origins was BLOOD, blood everywhere even in the cutscenes WHY space marine 2 selling? cos of BLOOD.
Here you have shadow sludge instead of red blood.
Just picture Skyrim in your head. Now picture Elders Scrolls 6 looking nice and clean like this game. This is exactly how I feel about Veilguard. There is no grit anymore. Its too cartoonish. Could be a good game but if it looks like a cartoon I'm not playing and I think alot of 40+ year olds feel the same.
I remember begging my brother to buy DA I for me, and i was so happy,... but also remember finishing the game with a sour taste.... and now this 10 years later.... oh boy, better play DA 1 & 2 again.
After multiple reviews, I almost bought it. The issue is I can play / enjoy a game when everything feels off. Maybe it is pretty good, but I shouldn't have to force myself to tolerate a art style for 50/60 hours that simply breaks al immersion or enjoyable escapism.
Why is it so hard to find a decent RPG with a dark and gritty tone now?
A live service ‘retooling’ pretending to be an action game pretending to be an RPG.
It’s a bit of a slap in the face of RPG’s as a genre. It even still plays like a live service, with Mission Launch screens instead of doors.
crazy visual even 15 years ago visual games still better than this omg
They put so much work on the hair, gloating about it, when the rest of the game looks "blah." That tells me all I need to know. Plus it's EA. Screw them.
I understand that UA-camrs/Reviewers want to not say anything negative about the Pronounces and Top Surgery Scars because it's a touchy subject. However as someone who genuinely has nothing against that sort of thing, i just wanna say that there has to be a fine balance and a certain finesse to these things beeing implemented into video games. Especially having to keep in mind the setting of the game and overall tone, my main issue with how it is handled inside this game is mostly because of it beeing a fantasy game. It's hard for me to think in a world where magic exists would also be a world where top scars would be a thing. Besides that i also just dont appreciate how the character creator obviously steers people into making a certain type of character (slim,petite, none exaggerated body parts.)
I also just overall dont like the aesthetic of the game either, nor do i think the gameplay has anything worthwhile to it, just seems like a pretty boring smash button and press evade when prompted to combat.
Your assuming everyone has access to magic or knows someone who is capable of healing scars which I'm pretty sure isn't the case
This is exactly my issue with it. They loudly and proudly said "healing magic is back in the game" then proceeded to remove blood magic and spirit healing alltogether... the two types of magic that *canonically* form the basis for reassignment surgery... and then ALSO have a choice between two female characters getting unavoidably beat up for a whole act. In a world where there's HEALING MAGIC!! And HEALTH POTS!! WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!
And as a personal grip, I feel like it's extremely tokenistic to put this ONE type of scarring into its own menu when there's literally a "scars" slider/menu. If we're including and normalising, put if in the damn scars menu so it's not a token statement.
Would it not be better to have Maeveris - a canon proud trans character - just living her best life? Or a trans character just being effing happy? It's already (supposed to be) a dark fantasy game, why are we inserting real world stress into it? Honestly, BG3 did this better. An unassuming choice for genitals, voice, and pronouns that you can ignore if you don't want to think about it, and actual dialogue changes if you DO choose to have those options turned on. Magic is actually magic, so you ROLE PLAY any surgery/real world angst like it's (gasp) a role playing game.
And yeah, I won't get started on that ass slider. It's a bit of a joke, and even SWTOR did it better.
Im going to wait for it to be on sale for $10.
Afraid to ask what they mean with "top scars"
But I'm assuming they mean *transition scars?
Like scars you get when they cut off your canceres boobs..
Yup you're spot on.
@@MrOrzekeroof
@@LovelessGentleman oh no boohoo trans people exist
it's so stupid
I had almost the same experience as you with the DA series :) I really loved Origins, 2 was ok-ish, and for Inquisition, at the very moment when I took control of my character, clicked on my mouse and my character did an attack animation, I closed the game and uninstalled it right there.
when they add top surgery scars in a fkin FANTASY GAME it says enough about their priorities and what the story is going to be like
Top surgery? Like transformers have?
@@LovelessGentleman it's trans stuff...body chop chop
Eh, the top surgery is cannon. Krem and Dorian talk about it... BUT... they removed blood and spirit magic, which is how it's canonically supposed to be performed. A VERY cynical part of me wonders if that's why they took those kinds of magic out of the game. No canon blood magic flesh crafting and scar free spirit healing, and presto, a "canon reason for scars". Course it also gives them an excuse for having a girl all beat up for Act 1 when there's supposed to be "a return of healing magic" to the game so there's that... Gotta pull those heartstrings or something, because "choices matter".
Hmmm, as you said, we shall see. Im not sold as of today
I love the Dragon Age franchise so much, I'm a little hesitant on this game right now but we'll see. I mean that mage characters sideways graduation cap looks ridiculous 🙄
If you look closer, it's not even a graduation cap, duh
This doesn’t look like dragon age at all.
Why is it that the people that always talk about how this game or that game really need to be open world cause of this and that but if the game did release as an open world game it always the same people that wanted open world that are the first to complain about the busy work that are always shoved into every open world game.
You can have your own boba surgery scars for $60 (on discount btw).
The micro-aggression, condensending behaviour from activist fans of the franchise is very arrogant and vocal. Many of them are eager to insult, silence, or deter some old fans from expressing opinions, especially regarding traditionally feminine and sexy female characters. Almost as if they are corporate EA agents trying to incite rage and absorb Bioware fully.
Any game that put "top scars" in the character creator tells you everything you need to know about the politics. Easy pass.
oh please do enlighten me, what exactly does having top scars in the game say about it's politics.
@@baileyharris7613it’s a fantasy game with magic, why the f&@k would you need surgery
I’ll wait…
The Qunari look ridiculous
Just can get with the art style is incredibly Fortnite like and the dialogue is dreadful not the voice actors but the writing it just doesn't feel like it belongs in the Dragon age universe.
Feels too modern.
Wait a min is he saying that combo BS is from them 2 fail games DAM!!!!!! Bioware had no faith in DA at all to standout!!!! With that said EA should have the axe ready for Bioware.
For me it just looks like I'm not the target audience. Young adult females probably are. I'm ok with this never was a fan of series, Origins was ok and thats kinda it.
Fantasy Mass Effect is not great, and never was.
I quit Inquisition because it was just a singleplayer MMO-like designed to WASTE your TIME.
Yea they made this more linear so everything can be hand crafted and not like inquisition.
oh you actually convinced me to buy lmao. At least what you said are fair sentiments from collated experiences of content creators.
I got strong shill vibes from all the previews. Everything points to this game bombing big time.
The companion combat combos reminds me of the combat system from Xenoblade games, which I'm very much up for. But does it suit for Dragon Age? Maybe not.
But that fast paced combat system with the dodge spamming just doesn't suit for Dragon Age game in my opinion.
There's also something in the art style that doesn't appeal to me, maybe it's because its so colorful or the amount of particle effects. I don't know.
The next big flop
Cus it looks like a joke. This vid should be 5 seconds long.
Dont give money to ppl who despise you
Big pass for now 😢
