As someone who has played all the DA games multiple times, I love what I'm seeing in the art, the combat revamp and companions. Can't wait to play all 3 mage specs. Also, nice coverage 👍
I love that you're pushing positivity here! This is going to be my first Dragon Age so I'm excited about it. Not sure if I'll be lost since I'm coming in so late but hopefully there's a way they'll catch me up to the story and world. I can't wait because the combat looks really fun!
I just watched a great, 2-hr, documentary on the history of Thedas before the games. I have played the games many times, but I still learned quite a few things I didn't know watching it. Highly recommended: th-cam.com/video/ruOxjGqT7IA/w-d-xo.html
It was good to hear you thoughts Thistle! I'm with you on all the nastiness that's surrounded this game, I just don't have the time for it. It'd be one thing if it was constructive but so often it's not. I exclusively create and play women characters, I'd never dream of complaining that the game allows people to play as a man. Especially when that option doesn't take anything away from me. I have the option to play as I like, there's no reason for me to get upset that others also have that choice. I don't understand why some people are so offended by choices that they don't have to interact with. I like the more stylized visuals too, I don't really like when games look super realistic. It's amazing what some games can achieve, some games look more like movies! But I prefer video games that look like video games. I hadn't thought about the repercussions for how the Andrastian faith could be impacted by the lore reveals! You make a good point, I hope the game goes into that. I'm so hyped for all the companions but I've got to admit. I'm a tad... feral for Lucanis. I saw some of his scenes and... I want. I want so much! With Solas, I have just one hope. I really hope there's a reunion scene for Lavellan and a romanced Solas and I want it to destroy me emotionally. Just rip out my heart and crush it. Bioware's recent history hasn't been great, they really need a win with Veilguard. Personally, I'm looking forward to it! But I can see why some people would be more sceptical or cautious. Really the only thing I've found disappointing so far is which of the past choices that carry over into Veilguard. But aside from that, I'm just looking forward to returning to Thedas!
The Qunari are humans/elves with horns now. What if you have valid criticism? In a fantasy MEDIEVAL game surgery scars just don't belong there, it makes sense in Mass Effect or Cyberpunk not in Dragon Age.
I have to disagree. considering transgender people are a part of DA cannon and the majority of people are anti magic, there is plenty of precedent for gender affirming care in DA.
The Qunari all looked the same in DA2 because Bioware only had 1 year to make the game. Thats why there were only like 2 dungeons, all houses had the same layout and all races had 1 bodytype.
@@designlover945 lol I know. Still it’s a gripe I have with the game, but I know why it is the way it is. I wish DA2 had more time to develop, but I still love the game
@@ThistleLP Since DA2s companions are soo good, I´m really sad the the game is not really finished. I wish it would get a remaster or something like that 😥
@@designlover945 oh same! I’d love it if they did a legends edition for the DA series like they did with Mass Effect. I love Origins but it’s pretty clunky

I discovered DA with Inquisition, which I have played multiple times. I’m very much looking forward to diving back into Thedas.
"This is a positive space for positive and constructive discussion" yea that's gonna earn a follow from me lol

@@ThistleLP Yeah, especially the gameplay and the long sections where everyone uses mods to skip them XD
