Love Jesse. All the way back from the very early days of cooptional. But him playing this game deserves the dislike. This is not a real dragon age game.
@@ayanleman Hi I am one of those people he's referring to. Former dragon age supernerd, turned off by the direction so I didn't purchase. However, I'm a lifelong Jesse fan and these games are *perfect* for him, so I plan on having a blast with this LP.
@ayanleman it's not for everyone but like Jesse I'm a fan of Dragon Age gave it a shot regardless of the opinions online because I go off my eyes and ears and actual consumers like steam reviews. I'm loving it its fun action game, the rpg takes a back seat but I can live with that, but personally people complaining about the writing need to replay the older games because they have som3 cringe moments. Art style could be another that turn people off but it's just a new coat of paint.
Love to see a popular content creator pick the most unpopular race and the second most unpopular faction for his character. Maybe now we will see more Lord of Fortune dwarves 😮💨
I'm so happy to see this video I'm literally tearing up. Inquisition was one of my favorite games of all time and I fell in love with it watching Jesse's playthrough. I can't wait to watch this one! ❤❤❤❤
I sort of half hope half dread the game is going to pull a Baldur's Gate 3 and suddenly change the Inquisitor into some kind of inhuman abomination, undoing all your painstaking character creation.
@@PQUNDCAKE Of course it is. I wouldn't expect Larian to try pulling the same trick twice in a row, but with DA having been in development for a decade, they could have locked in story details long ago that were too late to change just because another game did a similar thing.
@@ObakeOnna but again, it like asking for a hotdog and be annoy that the sausage is there it alway been there, why are you surprise that the hot dog have the sausage
@@Z-000R0 Huh? The sausage is the hot dog. That's specifically what hot dogs are: sausages, with or without the bun. To buy a hot dog not expecting a sausage is like getting ice cream expecting to get an empty waffle cone. What I'm saying here is your metaphor needs a bit of work.
I feel like a lot of the hate this game is getting (that isn't "wokness" related) is because they've forgotten what Dragon Age 2 was like. I understand being disappointed in the combat or art style, but for those saying this doesn't "feel" like a Dragon Age game, it does though. It feels like DA2, which honestly I really liked.
It's actually close to impossible to discuss anything (good or bad) about this game because the brain-damaged part of the internet community decided to make this their new focus, it's genuinely exhausting.
@imshail Indeed. I'm fully aware there are issues with the game, nobody is gonna say it's perfect, but being able to actually talk about those issues without someone that watched a 20 second TikTok of (potentially) out of context yelling chiming in to throw a wrench into the conversation is becoming a less common occurance. At least Jesse's community is mostly actual grown adults so it's less likely to happen here. (Cue the contrarians)
Hard disagree. I just replayed Dragon Age: 2 a few months ago and this game does not feel like that to me. For starters, in DA2 you can frequently disagree and argue with companions. In Veilguard, you don't really get that option, leaving Rook feeling toothless and unrelatable to a lot of players who would very much like to call out some companions on their behavior - Taash in particular, since they act like a rude, edgy teenager. Which hurts because I'm trans myself and I loved meeting Krem in Inquisition and I was hoping Taash would be similarly good NB rep, but they're just childishly obnoxious. DA2 also felt like it respected Origins, for the most part, while Veilguard doesn't feel like it respects the previous games - in addition to all the world state choices we should have gotten that were ignored, some choices were made that feel like an insult as a long-time fan of the franchise, like events in Southern Thedas and the post-credits stinger. That said, I think we can both agree that even if you like the game and I don't, the moronic "anti-woke" chuds can piss right off.
Let's be honest here - 99% of the 'arguments' that are brought up against this game are nonsensical strawmen. Is it flawed? For sure. I hate the jumping controls and that Jump shares a button with Interact, for instance. The voice acting can be all over the place. The facial animations are eh. But take, for example, the point that this game had forgotten its dark fantasy roots. It's bullshit. Dragon Age was never dark fantasy. It was gritty and bleak, sure. But if DA:O is dark fantasy, so is Lord of the Rings. Another example is how the game's art style apparently is inconsistent with the other games. You know, the Dragon Age games? The series that notoriously never ONCE stuck to a consistent art style, with each game looking NOTHING like the previous one? It's all lies. It's not about the game, it's crybabies throwing temper tantrums about Bioware including nonbinary characters.
@@Noki_Kelevra Let's not pretend that there aren't *also* valid criticisms of the game's writing just because a handful of morons are crying over Bioware not pandering to their bigotry. They may be the loudest (and most annoying) source of criticism, but they don't make up the majority of it, let alone 99%.
It feels like the dialogue choices were written by someone who doesn't understand that tone of voice/body language isn't a thing in text... which should be a very basic concept to understand for anyone entrusted with writing anything important...
Me thinking I was going in to romance Harding. But then Neve existed. And then I felt like Harding was different in this game compared to Inquisition. Idk.
Judging from how many decisions and world settings you can import form inquisition into veilguard, apparently none/incredibly little. I feel this sets a precedent for Mass Effect 5 that will make the first mass effect trilogy and andromeda truly make players feel like the games were pointless ^.^
Mass Effect 5 kind of always felt like it was gonna be a reboot of sorts after the failed Andromeda reboot. It's taking place hundreds of years after 3 if I recall, so the only choices that would matter are "is this species extinct" and "Did you romance Liara". If they import more choices it would be great, but I expected it to be like that. I would have liked a lot more choices for this game, but they had a specific story they wanted to tell (and not much time to tell it since it seemed they basically had to start from scratch 3 years ago if I recall correctly), so I kind of understand why absolutely nothing Hawke did matters to the story of this game.
@@keithshaughnessy1730 9:30 Dragon was DA:Origins the last events of DA2 was in 9:37 Dragon (think an extra year or two is the furthest the DLC go) 9:42 Dragon is DA:Inquisition base game ending 9:52 Dragon is when DA:Veilguard begin its been 22 years since the fifth blight which was largely contained to Fereldin 15 years since Hawke saved one single city (and released the BBG for Inquisition) and 10 years since the Inquisition either disbanded or was absorbed into the Chantry add on that your the furthest north we've ever been in a DA game and the furthest south we go is about the furthest north we ever went in any previous game it makes sense that only the really big choices are the ones that have any impact
A colleague of mine said the conversations were painful so he just resorted to skipping through everything, but he really enjoys the combat in it. So it's probably good enough for that. A sale purchase seems reasonable. It is supposedly a bit dumbed down compared to Origins in some regards.

You need to turn the sound effects and music up a little higher, Jesse. I think i could almost hear the characters talk for a moment there during the stabbing scene.
Oh god it's here...Been playing this myself, playing as a mage and I have to say, the gameplay and certain companions are the only things that have kept me going. The main plot is ridiculously stupid, the villains are not interesting, most companions are boring and dull at best, all the changes to the lore are baffling and make no sense to me. I will say that playing a melee mage is pretty fun though Also it wasn't just you Jesse, a lot of youtubers and influencers didn't get codes for the game. Man, I still can't get over how they destroyed Varric, he looks so ugly now. Solas is the only returning character that looks ok.
@@jedgianpaulorosario6385 Every single returning character got hit by the nerfhammer. And the blame is this new art style they used for this game. It just doesn't look good
27:11 Had a chuckle after Jesse went "nah" immediately after reading that shadow dragons oppose slavery. Are you sure you're from Ohio, not the south ?
So, I'm curious: What does everyone think about the smaller group size? I've always liked the banter between the larger groups, like in the Inquisition.
My only annoyance with it is I always liked having a Mage/Warrior/Rogue set up for companions, but since you don't need a balance for overworld stuff it's fine.
LOL, After go’ogling Simmy Krotiel’s latest I noticed it had undergone revisions to add four ins even more using accelerated growth techniques, now I feel so huge, thanks
This game's combat was okay but if you're tracking age fan it's not dragon age Kombat however the entire story is absolute trash this is the worst dragon age story yet and to have stuff shoved down your throat and no matter what you choose you being forced into good add no more blood magic because and I "evil is icky" and the fact that no matter what you choose on some of the things they forcefully change your choices to fit certain narratives that they want to push in the story so certain things are absolutely fucking pointless for you to choose yeah it was garbage I played like 8 hours of it and just refunded it
That's...not exactly true. They can't enter the fade the conventional way, AKA via dreams. But no one ever said they couldn't enter it through a portal or in this case an Eluvian
Dwarf Warden could end up in the Fade in Origins, and Varric in both DA2 and Inquisition. The only difference is that they don't have a NATURAL connection to the Fade and thus don't dream.
Buddy. Dwarf Wardens and Oghren can go into the fade in Origins/Awakening, Varric can go in DA2 and Inquisition, and a Dwarf Inquisitor can go in Inquisition. Because they're not dreaming, they're physically travelling into the Fade.
Cannot wait to watch your full playthrough of this. I stayed away from live (obviously) but now i'm 15+ hours in I'm READY baby. Edit : And then you spend the entire Character creator trying to put out the impression this game is too "Nice" and not "Male" enough.........
What the hell are you talking about? For the whole Rook customization, all the comments were obviously lighthearted jokes and when he said certain options were "too nice" it was obvious that he meant for the character he was trying to make because he said, *multiple times,* that he was trying to make his character look as tough and mean as possible. And if he complained about his Inquisitor looking too feminine (I didn't watch that whole segment because I knew he was making Nic Mage and I don't care about the process of recreating that) it was likely because he accidentally picked the feminine body type instead of the masculine one. Like, I'm sorry, but if you seriously think Jesse is some toxic masculinity bro then you clearly don't know anything about him.
@@whendarknessfalls6969so you this comment doesn't exist you didn't click on the video and you aren't watching to the point where you heard him say he purchased it with his own money 😂 dude give it up you are watching it so regardless of what you thought of the game his purchase got him a viewer 😂
Did I misinterpret this comment thinking he meant Jesse could have bought the game and called it a business expense and what he actually meant was writing the game off like Zaslav does to children's movies? I don't know what this argument is
No, once youve selected your class youre stuck in it, only able to respec into other subclasses. As for Dwarven lore, the series has always stated they can't connect to the fade so they can't be mages, which is why they are more resistant to battle magic and can handle dealing with lyrium better. One of the Inquisition DLCs had a Dwarf become blessed by a titan and gain magical powers, making them quite possibly the first Dwarven mage, though I still think Sandal has something magical about him

Looking forward to binge watching this series one day when I have the time!
I didn't know you could make a character this cubical
The ballad of Dropkick Jesse starts now.
Lmao the dwarf run animation looks so fast compared to the Qunari ones.
Most likely because actual run speed is same for all races, but dwarves have shorter legs, so need to play animations faster.
All these years later and Jesse still thinks any other choice than the one with the heart matters
the choices with the arrows are also important ✌️ also the choices you pick at the start of some quests also changes the ambient dialog of Rook
The return... of Nic Mage 🧙♂️
Time for the flying kicking dwarf!
Gameplay starts at 51:20
Just finished this game, and the last 5 hours of the game made the 90 hours all worth it.
I just wanna know what my brain-to-mouth-to-character thing is, y'know?"
I feel that, Jesse. Both in Dragon Age and in real life sometimes 😅
Fantasy games should at least have the option of getting to live that fantasy of saying exactly what you intended to say.
@ObakeOnna Or if they wanna go for realism, they could have you make a decision and then shortly afterwards force you to question that decision 😂
I fully agree with Jesse's dialogue-wheel-rant. It's awful... just tell me what my character will actually say.
yeah and like when your making it short so it fits on screen
have the abbreviation mean the same damn thing not have a widely different tone

This game's combat was okay but if you're tracking age fan it's not dragon age Kombat however the entire story is absolute trash this is the worst dragon age story yet and to have stuff shoved down your throat and no matter what you choose you being forced into good add no more blood magic because and I "evil is icky" and the fact that no matter what you choose on some of the things they forcefully change your choices to fit certain narratives that they want to push in the story so certain things are absolutely fucking pointless for you to choose yeah it was garbage I played like 8 hours of it and just refunded it
I watched you play Inquisition, I'll watch you play this. But it saddens me that I wont be buying the game.
BUT DWARVES CANT GO INTO THE FADE!!! THEY DONT DREAM!
That's...not exactly true. They can't enter the fade the conventional way, AKA via dreams. But no one ever said they couldn't enter it through a portal or in this case an Eluvian
Dwarf Warden could end up in the Fade in Origins, and Varric in both DA2 and Inquisition.
The only difference is that they don't have a NATURAL connection to the Fade and thus don't dream.
they can go there physically it happen in inquisition, just not dreaming
Buddy. Dwarf Wardens and Oghren can go into the fade in Origins/Awakening, Varric can go in DA2 and Inquisition, and a Dwarf Inquisitor can go in Inquisition. Because they're not dreaming, they're physically travelling into the Fade.
Cannot wait to watch your full playthrough of this.
I stayed away from live (obviously) but now i'm 15+ hours in I'm READY baby.
Edit : And then you spend the entire Character creator trying to put out the impression this game is too "Nice" and not "Male" enough.........
we hear what we wanna hear i guess. that's on you.
What the hell are you talking about? For the whole Rook customization, all the comments were obviously lighthearted jokes and when he said certain options were "too nice" it was obvious that he meant for the character he was trying to make because he said, *multiple times,* that he was trying to make his character look as tough and mean as possible. And if he complained about his Inquisitor looking too feminine (I didn't watch that whole segment because I knew he was making Nic Mage and I don't care about the process of recreating that) it was likely because he accidentally picked the feminine body type instead of the masculine one.
Like, I'm sorry, but if you seriously think Jesse is some toxic masculinity bro then you clearly don't know anything about him.
What a huge waste of personal money... even though it could possibly be made a business expense and tax write off
not a waste if you are here watching the video 🤷♂️
@kevinlist3330 I'm not
@@whendarknessfalls6969so you this comment doesn't exist you didn't click on the video and you aren't watching to the point where you heard him say he purchased it with his own money 😂 dude give it up you are watching it so regardless of what you thought of the game his purchase got him a viewer 😂
you clearly don't know how either business expenses or tax write-offs work.
Did I misinterpret this comment thinking he meant Jesse could have bought the game and called it a business expense and what he actually meant was writing the game off like Zaslav does to children's movies? I don't know what this argument is
So you can never be a dwarf mage? I’m a dwarf as well and was wondering why they show us it’s locked. Can we be a dwarf mage at some point?
No, once youve selected your class youre stuck in it, only able to respec into other subclasses. As for Dwarven lore, the series has always stated they can't connect to the fade so they can't be mages, which is why they are more resistant to battle magic and can handle dealing with lyrium better. One of the Inquisition DLCs had a Dwarf become blessed by a titan and gain magical powers, making them quite possibly the first Dwarven mage, though I still think Sandal has something magical about him
Content that your at least checking it out
if this had better dialog, i might be more inclined to play it meself, but im happy to just watch someone else play
It does get better as the game goes on, but the first several hours can be of quite poor quality. If you can't "push through it", it's understandable.
