I love that we have similar views on this! I’m just so excited for this game and I hate that so many people are dissing on it 😢 I cannot wait for the preorder!!! I’m ready to see a let’s play dragon age from you too ❤ I’ve been rewatching your past let’s plays and have been replaying inquisition
Pre ordering already says it all, consume their filth all you want. Lore wise it dosent look good for the game, i dont care that much about the style and its not a problem for me that they have pivotted towards Mass effect like gameplay.
A smart thing to do if you want good games again is NOT preordering anymore so they actually have to do good work in order to make money.
Its already huge red flags that they changed the game design from MMO to single player AGAIN like they did with Inqusition and the title change is also a bad sign.
This is going to be the first game I ever order a collector's edition for, I'm so excited! 10 years, I can't believe the wait is finally almost over.
@@georgeide2337 Reason the Multiplayer or well MMO version was cancelled was because EA saw the success of Jedi Survivor and bam...back to single player, so you know that's already a positive just one positive though. This game is like the Fourth version, changing the title of the game cannot be seen as a bad sign, still a name that makes sense and they can pick whichever names they want, nothing we can say there, we are not the devs after all. Now the fact this is the fourth version of their game is the one bad negative sign you can see.
Thank you, MeloveSims! The community definitely seems to be very split on the game at the moment. I try not to let anyone else's negativity impact my own personal judgement of a game I have yet to play for myself. It's for sure served me well in the past.
@@WC-PO I'll be right there with you!
Love seeing people excited 🎉
More info for those who aren't subscribed to every Dragon Age channel:
It has been confirmed with images by multiple people (including Ghil Dirthalen) that there will be lots of blood, gore, and nudity in game with the game getting an M rating. The blood was turned off for the gameplay trailer, which I personally suspect is for advertising reasons. It has also been confirmed that there will be moments as dark as Origins, but that most of these involve heavy spoilers. The emphasis is on a contrast between dark and light so as to even further accentuate the horrors we will see. Major W I think for people who do want a darker tone, it looks to be going for a balance between Inquisition and Origins which would be peak.
Thanks a lot for all of this great info, Arlaux!
Out of all the reaction videos I've seen, yours was the one I was waiting for. :)
A couple of things:
(These have been discussed on the BioWare blog so are not listed as spoilers)
1) From what I've read, your choices can carry over into the game, but only for Inquisition. As in Inquisition, Tarot cards will be used to reflect the decisions that were made. As such, the Keep/World States will not be used. My take on this is that the choices that were made in Origins and Dragon Age II now are classified as ancient history.
2) The same way you could create Hawke for his part in Inquisition's story line, you can create your Inquisitor for Veilguard's.
3) Specialization can be chosen right off the bat - you don't need to be at a specific level and/or a specific part of the story line to unlock them.
4) Each one of your companions represents one of the six factions your Rook can belong to: Shadow Dragons (Neve), Grey Wardens (Davrin), Antivan Crows (Lucanis), Lords of Fortune (Taash), Mourn Watch (Emmrich), and Veil Jumper (Bellara). As in Dragon Age II, romances are not gender-locked.
Can't wait to see your "Gay Let's Play" for this one! Have you already decided on what race/class you'll be playing...and most important, who you'll be romancing? 😏
One counterpoint:
1) It's probably less "these are ancient history" so much as "You're in a completely different side of the continent where whoever is ruling Fereldan and Orzammar is pretty much not that important and so we just decided to save ourselves the trouble and not reference it in the story."
Alistair/Anora have their own crap to deal with, same with whoever's ruling Orlais. The Free Marches are their usual mess and divided self with all the problems involved (though I imagine Viscount Varric being absent means he passed the title on). Whoever is ruling Orzammar has their own issues. The Templar/Mage issues are resolved and pretty much standardized (there's a College vs. a Circle of Magi always thanks to Trespasser, the Reborn Seekers are basically taking over most of the old Templar Order's role in a new way in most endings including the Allied Templars one, and on and on).
At this point, most of the remaining choices with ramifications can be quietly sidelined and save the devs a whole lot of time to not deal with them since we're in completely different countries now.
@@jord839 Agreed. A lot of it was centralized to Ferelden and the Free Marches. I had asked elsewhere how the mage/templar conflict might have affected Tevinter, and the majority of responses I received were 'not much' since magic is the cornerstone to everything there.
I was thinking more along the timeline. Approximately 22 years have passed between the start of Dragon Age: Origins and the start of Veilguard. With the Grey Wardens as one of the factions your Rook can choose as a background, I'm hoping that the Hero of Ferelden's quest to find a cure for The Calling will be addressed.
Thank you, @TarotMage! I discuss the race/class/romances I am thinking about in Part 2!!
@@TarotMage I would absolutely love to hear anything about the Hero of Ferelden! Even if it's just a side mention from Davrin!
This was so much fun and I look forward to discussing more DA:Veilguard with y'all! ❤
Hope we get to do this again soon, my friend!
@@angelarts Yes!
I think the combat looks fantastic. The combat has been different in every DA game, so I'm not sure why people are complaining, unless that they just want an updated DA Origins, which I think is the case.
Alex, for a lack of a better word, people for whatever the reason are STILL dickmatized by DA Origins and are upset that this 2024 game is not a 2009 game which is insane to me. I do not and will not understand why these so called "fans" of a "beloved franchise" as they like to put it continue to not acknowledge that with EVERY DA iteration, it changes!
This trailer was awesome. So excited for the story in this game. I can't wait.
I do remember a while ago I said i was concerned about this game because so many people from the previous games were leaving the studio but after the gameplay reveal I don't have any concerns anymore honestly
YEEEEAAAAH we back! 🎉
Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!
Hey Hark, will you be having an open mic discussion about The Veilguard in the future?
Excellent question! I am definitely hoping to! Stay tuned!
''Solas looks hot,but still Solas you bastard'' yup that sums it up hahah
I definitely am looking forward to seeing how an Inquisitor who romanced Solas impacts his storyline!
I truly loved this review!! A total different energy to what other UA-camrs are emitting. I'm really excited about this game... I just want to see some mage gameplay and pray to God there's a knight enchanter-ish specialization... That was my favorite play style. ♥️😍
Thank you, Daniel! I really loved the Knight-Enchanter from Inquisition, but am for sure excited for new Specializations in this game! Would be neat if there were specializations that were tied to the 6 factions again.
The trailer had me nervous of the theme of the game, I didn't see a lot of that 'Dark fantasy' from past games. but after watching the game play, and just seeing the environment and the vibes it was giving off it's put to rest a lot of my concerns. there are still a few things that im not 100% sold on artistically. However, seeing the game play sold me enough to pick up the game and give it a go.
Curious to see how you end up ultimately feeling about it, Kevin!
Oh look it’s my two favorite people , MICHA (sorry if I missed spelled it.) I can not wait til the game comes out it looks good.
Hello Terri!!! No worries about my name and it's so good to read your words. We are in the same boat my friend, Fall can't get here fast enough. 💕
I think my concerns are mostly down to the in-game ten year time skip. It makes the inquisition look a little incompetent. I also think the decision to completely drop the keep is concerning because it feels like previous games don’t matter as much and nor do those characters or the relationships. I *am* excited but there is some lingering fears that the Thedas I built will be retconned. The game looks beautiful though and that musical score is outstanding. I also like the look of the combat it looks really fun. Just trying to be positive and remember they can’t make the game that is in my head lol!
In character creation for Veilguard we'll be able to pick the world saves we want from previous games so don't worry about that. As for the fear...well it's inevitable, Biowares headcanon is Alistair as sole ruler after all, its shown in their novels and comic books I believe so nothing we can do there.
Hi, Jennifer! Long time no see!!
@@angelarts You know when Dragon Age content pops up there's only one place I want to be.
The keep was dropped for many many reasons. Honestly? It was a buggy mess, that kept crashing and the site kept going down.
Could you imagine starting up veilguard, and you can't start because there's too many people in the keep?
Personally, I'm glad this game has a built in DA keep. It also means it will be a bit less buggy, and doesn't have to rely of third parties, and this also means you don't need an Internet connection.
Dragon age 4 gameplay looks amazing and badass too💚💚
Happy you think so too, Jenna!
player characters keep interrupting rituals
and i think rook just made things worse and the evanuris are free
i always thought solas would take a magneto (from x-men) type role and it's looking like that's what's going to happen
How's this for irony - we have to work with Solas in order to return the Evanuris to the Fade. O_O
I love your Magneto parallel! Also, so great to see you again, Nightfrost!
As a veteran of DA:O ad lover of their tactical playstyle, by now I just hope that the melee close combat can be done with auto targetting. Inquisition was only fun for me as a mage as it did't have that sadly. Sadly, with every installment the series became more and more alien to me playstyle - wise.
Hey, Callindor! Thanks a lot for commenting! Always great to see you!
They really messed up with the first trailer, it rubbed everyone the wrong way, and now they have a huge hill to climb to gain back any semblance of goodwill. I think this gameplay reveal would have been received a lot more positive if they had not released a tone deaf trailer that nobody liked just 2 days before.
There are things to question in this gameplay, it's not perfect, not even close, but it feels like a lot of people are just throwing the entire game under buss without giving it a fair shake.
Personally I will not buy this game day 1, those days are long gone, but this gameplay reveal at least showed me the game is worth keeping an eye on, if it seems people are liking it when it releases I'll buy it after a short while, if not, well then I won't.
I appreciate you at least keeping an eye on it and waiting to see! Hope it ends up being an easy decision one way or another!
@@angelarts Your channel is one of the ones I will be looking at to make my final decision when the time comes, no pressure! :)
missed you Angelarts
Miss you too, Tiffany! Welcome back!
I was always curious about Tevinter but I have to say I was a bit surprised by the city. It almost looks steampunk with the floating buildings and dictatorial orders over a loudspeaker. Not necessarily a bad thing but I get why Dorian was so let down by the wilderness and rustic appeal of the hinterlands and Red Cliff haha
And why so many people from Tevinter like to call outsiders "barbarians" and the like.
Everyone just has to understand that this series has had a bunch of pitfalls, and they survived all the way up to this point. I was hoping For a evolved Inquisition gameplay But I understand the need for getting as many people involved With the gameplay For the sake of continuing the story and the series as a whole.😑
What kind of "evolved Inquisition gameplay" have you been hoping for?
@angelarts I truly thought Bioware would have adopted something close to what final fantasy rebirth came up with? Inquisition's tactical cam was the closest thing to what final fantasy is doing. I was hoping they'd improve upon the cam. Other than that I'm loving everything I see. Except EXCEPT not being able to switch my characters?! 🤯 Especially when they look more unique and specialized than ever! I don't know What they're thinking on that decision😮💨🤢
This gameplay reminds me of God of War
Is it co-op?????
no it's 100% a single player game
@@hnt8461 are you serious ?
@@bigdogang yes it's a single player game no Dragon Age game has ever been co-op
@@hnt8461 I’m sure there was me an my friend used to play together
@@hnt8461 dragon age inquisition a four player co-op multiplayer
I'm hopeful yet doubtful because of all the behind-the-scenes stuff and the loss of vital Dragon Age staff during development. Apparently, this game also suffered from a change in game design from MMO to single-player RPG like Inquisition did. There are already a decent amount of lore problems appearing just from the footage/trailers alone.
Wont be preordering as i dont trust game studios anymore but if the reviews are good from DA fans im giving it a shot.
What lore problems have you been noticing? I'd personally be very surprised if there are any lore issues that wont be resolved in story since BioWare legit worked with a dozen or so lore youtubers and those Dragon Age lore experts are no joke
@arlaux yea those lore youtubers have been singing the praises of the writing albeit they can't talk about any of the specifics so I definitely don't think that'll be much of an issue here... their reviews and analysis of what they got to experience is actually what made me more excited than I already was
@@arlaux It's probably worth adding that the Creative lead, John Epler, has been with the studio for 17 years and the lead writer Patrick Weekes has been there longer. They also brought Darrah (one of the originals) back as a consultant. So, there is still depth to the dev team.
This is so full circle for me Angelarts your channel is what got me into to dragon age over a decade ago and it changed my life 🤎
Awwwww, you are too sweet! Welcome back, 33Simmer!
