      Now one big question is whenever you switch weapons do you get a new set of hotkeyed abilities specific to said weapon? That would at least make up for some of the lack of ability accessibility

    • @soliderack
      @soliderack Місяць тому +1

      And is it fair to say that there is a range of build diversity?, when you consider the fact were limited to 4 ability hotkeys.. like we inadvertently have a "diverse range" of build diversity simply due to the restrictions around available hotkeyed abilities. Where as in Inquisition we had twice the amount of hotkeys as well as control of companions which in itself allowed you to experience multiple classes and builds not to mention the customization went way farther in Inquisition similar to what we had in DA:Origins. Full equipment options for everyone where here in DA:Vielgaurd we essentially have what we saw In DA:2 with very limited equipment options for companions yet here its limited on the player character as well...

      Same. At first I just thought it looked like Inquisition (which does look cartoony. I don't care what anyone says to further their agenda against this game. Inquisition was cartoony). That said I don't particularly like this art style as I always prefer more realistic stuff but it does look a lot like Kingdom of Amalur which I didn't mind to be fair so if I can play that and Fable then I can play this even though I'd much prefer it was more akin to The Witcher in style like Origins but all the DA games have been Pixar games since then so it is what it is I suppose

      I played a very limited portion of the game. I expect an RPG to expand systems and complexity as you play more and more, so I would not expect to know everything about combat so early on. Early game combat was fun, remains to be seen how that works as you progress. Story is sort of the opposite it was weak but I hope it gets better as usually intros can be awkward.

    See the problem is for me a longtime DA fan, is this game should have come out like 4 or 5 years ago.
    It’s been 10 years since inquisition and I’ve sadly lost interest but not only that, this game feels way too familiar or boring. The basic 3 classes, shallow dialogue options, the combat, art direction. Everything.
    After 10 years of playing amazing RPGs like Witcher 3, elden ring, Baldurs gate, disco Elysian, all with way more player freedom and expression. This feels like a game that should have come out in the mid to late 2010s but is a few years too late to care

      I don't understand that criticism. The combat is closer to the Witcher 3 and Elden ring focusing on parrying and dodging. We don't know if the dialogue is shallow. Most CC praised it's Dialog.
      BG sacrificed it's player voice and also is a system that doesn't work in story focused cinematic games.

If Veilguard does indeed play similar to the original ME series and Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, then it will definitely feel dated when directly compared to BG3, Witcher 3, etc.

      Indeed, if a DA game is set in Tevinter I want the opportunity to play a corrupt, immoral blood magister, they being a common part of the lore. It would be an interesting way of getting to better understand the lore of Tevinter, and what led to such a corrupt system to develop, and drove and encouraged people to embrace it. But BioWare have continually removed and limited choice in this regard, forcing us along narrower moral pathways and removing most dark, evil, or self-serving choices.

Yes, it was much better than DA2 aka "Haven't I been to that cave already?", but exploration and side quest were soooo dull for the most part. Anyway, what I'm saying is, I'll go into this with an open mind and without any expectations of it being anything like DA:O, apart from the setting. It looks like a somewhat fun ARPG though.

    I have to say, when I saw the initial trailer, I hated it. The more I see of gameplay and the CC, I like the hair physics, but still hate it. I just don't understand why they made it so cartoony. And while there may be some "darker" sections to the game at some point, I cannot get past the character and monster designs, and that is everything to me in a dark fantasy game. You cannot make me engage and fully believe in a world where the demons look like they came from Looney Toons. The disconnect for me is very real. I was there for DA:O when it first came out and played that game SO much. I had a character for every backstory, every race...trying things out. It was so fun. This....ugh. I will try it, maybe (and that's a hard maybe). But I don't foresee myself running out to do a preorder or buying day one. Morrigan was one of my favorite characters in DA:O and when I saw what they did to her in Veilguard....completely laughable. I cannot take her seriously. And as everyone and their brother has said about the Qunari - WTF?! You cannot tell me that is a final design. And I know it is...but....come the f*** on. How. Why. I really wanted to love the game. I patiently waited for 10 years to get....a Temu mobile app version of DA.

    Honestly? I WANT to be excited... but all the fan BS, the retconning, the gaslighting from both sides of the bioware cult wars, the facerolling button combos, the unnecessary fanning of 'woke hatred' by the devs and designers, the plot holes and the overly flashy/bright/bloomy/flairey animation, the utterly laughable qunari (JFC the qunari...) ridiculous and poorly explained enemy skins and sloppy combat physics are making it really difficult to maintain enthusiasm. I'm getting burned out on the game before it's even released and I was already extremely skeptical.
    I DO love the backdrop artwork, it's pretty. I like Tevinter, it's the only place the neon hypersaturated colours make sense. I like *some* of the more Origins compliant lore that's been buillt into the game.
    I'll never forgive the healing and blood magic and the Blight being a freaking debuff. I'll never want to play the combat parts of the game, because they ruined the role playing immersion for mages which is the only class I play.
    I dunno, I'm almost more excited to watch someone else's Lets Play, so I never have to deal with the combat and I don't need to get invested in the story too heavily. I don't want to feel that crushing disappointment when I see inaccuracies compared to the Original games.

    I dunno, I love Origins and I really have come to enjoy II, and Inquisition despite its flaws I think is a decent game. But this one, I'm just not feeling it. I like the fact that it's more mission-based. I miss the the RTWP gameplay, but the combat looks fun for what it is. But after playing BG3 and other CRPG, this game just feels too basic.

      At this point I feel like people need to seriously stop viewing games as a continuity and assess games as their own thing. It's almost like every sequel these days gets a bad rep before it even gets a chance to shine just because it is different from it's predecessors it would be one thing if people actually played the fucking game and said it was bad but there are so many nay-sayers that have no experience with the game simply because it doesn't confrom to what ever preconceived notions they have of what the new Dragon Age game should be.
      What happened to people letting a games reception speak for itself instead of tearing any non-masterpeice or controversial game down before it even has an opportunity to be objectively judged or appreciated.
      A good example of this bullshit is @scraggiies reply, someone who doesn't know a damn thing about the game mentioning BS they don't know about, people's main issue with this game is the combat taking a different direction, and the character visuals but yet someho this manifests in his/her eyes as Woke because reasons. For one it is literally mentioned in this video that characters aren't "player" sexual and have their own preferences and romance history that makes sense and that they will reject advances based of this, also it's not like there is anything about the game we have seen that is intentionally trying to appeal to any minority, or diversity community to any degree so how he came to the conclusion that the game is "woke slop" is beyond my admittedly limited human capacity to understand. The ONLY thing that could be used to support that argument is the art change but even that doesn't make any fucking sense as an art style can't be "Woke", an art style is an art style, it's not as if the art style is even objectively bad, it's just different and less gritty than before, so how that translates to DEI or Woke complaint's is beyond me.
      I swear people just want reasons to complain, personally I don't believe that everyone should like a game, but I do believe that people should try or give a game a chance before they have a static opinion, instead of hating like they know anything about the game when all they have is a third party information they can't even confirm.

    I played Origins multiple times when it came out and loved it. I never got around to DA2 and didn't play Inquisition at launch... installed it a few years later and didn't get into it. If this turns out to be great, I'll certainly give it a try. I'd like more review in the future on the game's art direction - the graphics and animations look dated/low-rez. There are great games without cutting edge graphics (Hades), but they often cost less and I suspect this will be a full price game.

    My biggest worry is the narrative. So far, it seems Marvel-ized, which will turn anyone with any enjoyment of quality writing and serious moments away. I will only consider purchasing Veilguard if the narrative isn't Marvel-tier.

    I found the characters in Inquisition to be very bland overall, and although I beat the game twice, I never really felt that invested in the story. This looks to be more of the same but worse. I hate the art style, and nobody can gaslight me that some of the decisions weren't made to push an agenda. Even when I see somebody praising it, I am just unconvinced that it's worth the money. Even if the combat is great, I don't want to stare at ugly weirdness for hours; video games are visual media and I'm not going to apologize for caring about aesthetics.

    Combat looks brain dead, no sense of skill or tactic and no player agency. World looks bland and uninspired. Art style is goofy and trying to hard to look like fortnite. That fact that they acknowledge how important the charcaters and world is to the franchise, then also make the decision have them play less of a role is mind boggling. This will be a typical case of diluting a tried and true formula, making unnecessary changes and opening up the game to those who dont care and wont play. A clear case of abandoning the core audience and ignoring things they want in a new game from a beloved franchise.

    Fantastic video! I am pretty excited for the game. While I don't exactly agree with the decision to change the way combat works in a DA game to look and behave more like ME, I do think it will make the combat portions of the game more entertaining overall. CRPG combats can become a slog after a while I find. I hope the dialogue gets better, but I will say that many of the best CRPGs these days don't use a voice protagonist because it allows for much wider variation in the dialogue and choices. Thanks for the post! I'm looking forward to see how the game shakes out.

      I predict this game will get at least a 7, probably 8.5. It looks like Mass Effect 2 tbh. People won't care about the lack of dark fantasy, and the monster designs, as long as the gameplay is solid and the story telling is good. It has all the hallmarks that Mass Effect 2 does.. Which is a shame cause to me personally Mass Effect 2 is the worst Mass Effect game, despite still being one of the best games of all time.
