Love you Byf, I don’t comment often, but I’ve watched your videos for a long time. I would, respectfully, implore you to not engage with Veilguard work. It’s already got massive amounts of bad publicity surrounding it for the same reasons why Sony dropped 200mil+ on Concord and it bombed. This is not the great DA of old, it’s an HR department head wearing Dragon Age as a skin suit.
@@joeycampbell940 Unfortunately this opinion has been proven true. It's not making great sales, and many pre-orders have been cancelled. It unanimously agreed on to be the most mediocre in the franchise. Now for people starting off with Veilguard is fine, but unfortunately many will be left off with wondering what happened to the series?
@@jesseritchie9282 if he stoped at saying it has bad publicity around it that'd be true. Everything else is false it's not remotely comparable to Concord, outside of one character it's not pushy or in your face about anything like Concord. Yes taash is a stupid character written by an edgy teen sped but outside of that it's typical DA of old.
there's a lot of negative comments here and honestly that's disappointing. like people will be people and are disappointed in the new game but there's no need to be so negative about it here. you're doing great byf, keep up thr amazing work of sharing stories of worlds far and wide
The new game was f’n fantastic so i dun get what their problem is, but ye no reason to be negative if ye dun like a thing like ye expected to, it happens sometimes no sense of them complaining about it on a recap video ya know?
I don't know if it's just me but at around 1:46:52 to 1:47:22 it sounds like there are two Byf's talking, to be more technical it sounds like two audio layers playing at the same time. It's a bit jarring to say the least.
IM SO HAPPY my favorite destiny lore channel made a lore video of my favorite video game series!!!!! literally the other week i was binging DA lore videos wishing there was one from you because you have such great storytelling and here it is!!!!!! so excited
Never played Dragon Age myself, but watched my step-dad play through the first three when I was a kid. This video brings back so many fond memories, especially of Origins
I played all of the DragonAge games as they came out. It's been 10 years since Inquisition, and I'm still not sure if I'll pick up this game or not due to little free time. But, watching this felt like a HUGE nostalgia trip. Familiar characters, remembering each choice I made in my campaigns, and the deep lore that the game had. Might make me pickup Veilguard and see where the story leads now. Thanks Byf for an excellent video!
@coleboozer4032 do it... it's honestly a good game. The lore fits and the story has made me want to play more. The art style took a minute to get used to, but it hasn't detracted from the overall presentation. I'd give it a solid 8. I've had more fun with his than Inquisition. And I loved DA:I but it felt like a slog to get through
I love this video for so many reason. One, its a great examination of all the lore of the games but two the love for all four games comes through. I am so glad you loved the series. It really is an amazing franchise.
@@Knight1029 Either paid for or a bot. Your entire channel is dedicated to propping up this game. Hope that check clears brother. After this disaster not many from BioWare are going to for much longer.
@@Knight1029 The sad part is. I legitimately, am not that intelligent. In fact, me being a complete idiot and still be able to see right through your page; that has no comment on this channel at all until it makes a **sponsored** video about the game you’ve been gooning over exclusively for the past few months. Likely means your ability to cover your astroturfing is worse than my critical thinking skills. With that in mind, who’s the real idiot here?
This is like a dream! So excited to see a history of my favorite series by one of the best lore content creators! I know it was sponsored, but thanks for doing it regardless, Byf!
Always happy to see a Byf lore drop, and it's a good little treat after having played Veilguard. I would recommend this game to any who enjoy DA as a franchise or just the lore.
I've been waiting on this video since you mentioned you were going to do it. I've watched more hours of your destiny videos than I've actually played destiny. I've only gotten through your intro and I'm *delighted.*
Byf!! This is some great timing, I just decided to jump into the series and start with Origins last night, so seeing this pop up in my feed was very welcome. I still wanna stay spoiler-free so I can only watch for the first hour, but I'm ready to dig into this world.
Great work here, Byf. I really enjoyed it. Much love for your new videos and direction. I will still be around starside, occasionally, and I hope to see you there too.
2:13:17 that is, without a single shred of doubt, the SHINIEST mustache I've ever seen in my whole life, good LAWD. Man looks like he's got an oil slick on his upper lip.
I had to do a double take to make sure I was seeing this right. I'm excited to send this to every friend I have that I'm dragging into this fandom, haha.
Absolutely love the video! Thank you so much, getting ready to start Veilguard soon! Also, I was wondering if it's possible to add/enable captions for this video? I rely on captions to be able to fully enjoy content like this so would be super helpful
Oh my! A super long Lore video from Lore Daddy! Yay! Also, glad to see you branching out from your comfort zone of Destiny. Though I enjoy them, i can see why most content creators have become multi-franchise players. Keep up the awesome work!
yeah, i totally don't care for some of the..."directions" gone in the story towards a certain point but i'm here for Byf telling me the story. thanks buddy, it's pretty much just like mass effect 3, andromeda or whatever number of franchises stuff that has done something people dont like. I mean, i have my personal things i dont like about bungie but destiny has a pretty awesome world with worm people, blue human like people who simp for their female warrior leader, mankind is wielding the light of its dead gods against unknown forces and boom Destiny is bungie Warhammer and we all love Mera cause shes an Ethereal.... damn it
So many negative comments up in this place. Jeez, Lore Daddy is doing ALL the lore so all of you Veilguard haters need to tone it down. Lore changes all the time in games and stories change. Especially for games that have been around as long as a game like DA. Maybe instead of all the Debbie Downer comments people could watch, listen, and comment what part or parts of this lore video met their expectations of the DA franchise. Super excited to finish this video Byf! I'm only 30 minutes in and I'm loving it! Your storytelling of lore is as always, top notch!
@@GazingTrandoshan Lmao at this mindset you're telling yourself as if people can't have negative opinions about something on their own just because YOU like it.
@@tomdelongjohns 100% all of Thedas is notorious for 1 thing throughout all the millenia of its inhabitants and that's always changing the history and its heroes and villains!
Thanks for this video. I have been watching since Destiny Taken King, and I hope your expansion into other game lore continues. Watched the whole thing.
An amazing world with amazing stories and realms to explore. It really is unfortunate that this amazing world is being killed by Bioware's terrible decision making and lack of passion
Ight Byf it's me, so you know I'm going to say something big. Keep going at it, and more importantly embrace all of the types of feedback. Ignore the positive toxicity, and the absolutely over defending. Now for my opinion. Veilguard is mediocre, and if I were to say it's the Lightfall for the Dragon Age series.

I watched recap videos like this before I started playing Veilguard! This one is a bit late, but definitely among the best, if not the best! To the editors: the sound is a bit messed up around 1:47:00.
awesome i needed a new lore compilation video to listen to, should of just ignored veilguard the story from that is just going to be discarded like how they discarded all the previous lore established from origins to inquisition
When Corypheus opened the rift at the original location, why didn't he just go ahead and walk through it? Was it necessary for him to challenge the inquisition to one last battle? Am I missing something?
would love if we could get a sequel version or something containing some of the clarification provided by veilguard, if you are planning on playing through it and willing to do such a thing that is
What retcons cause there really isnt any besides Solas not being the one to kill the titans? Like explain cause its more revelations based on DAI and following up on that, retcon isnt revealed information btw when the prior info didnt exsist , a retcon is if the sky was blue in a prior game and then the next they establish its always been yellow
there are no retcons in veilguard! as one of the folks who helped do the lore curation for this video, nothing we discovered in veilguard contradicted anything we'd known prior!
@@thelizardwizard1113 it literally doesn't. i'm on my third playthrough and it's tonally consistent with origins/da2, the lore is consistent with everything we'd learned so far, it's a rock-solid game and expands upon the universe wonderfully.
@@tomdelongjohns Respectfully, I am sure you did everything you could possibly do as research for the series but as someone who has loved this series and its lore for years, I cannot agree with this take. The writing of Veilguard may not have retconned anything outright in an effort to respect worldstate choices but it certainly sanitized the world and, by extension, the tone. The big plot points were there, sure, but the little nuanced things becoming shadows of their former dark fantasy barbarity (like the Antivan Crows who are known as brutally efficient assassins who buy slave children and torture and train them from a young age (but we just don't talk about that anymore I guess) as an example OR the complete and utter removal of broodmothers, the most horrifying and consequential realization as a child-bearing dwarf or grey warden. Where did they go??) is a little.... not great I would say? That combined with a protagonist who's only voice is "accepting and supportive" in an RPG of all places is frustrating and I understand why people are upset. I think the game is fine if I look at it as an outsider. As someone who has stewed in the lore for years and years though, its disappointing and falls flat. I'm not great at putting thoughts to paper so I just want to iterate that I'm not trying to come off aggressive or anything. I think it's healthy to be able to critique the game's pitfalls while praising the things it did right. There's plenty I enjoyed about the game but the writing and tone itself left a lot to be desired and I think we should be honest about it to Bioware so they have a chance to learn. Lord knows their whole writing team has been cycled out multiple times through multiple layoffs.
I've been obsessed with Dragon Age and replaying all the games/on my second run of Veilguard. My favorite destiny lore master covering my new obsession? How did I get so lucky?
I started my Dragon Age journey with a lore video about Ferelden and playing Inquisition, and I'm loving Veilguard. It's so cool to see another lore TH-camr exploring Thedas!
Veilguard was my first dragon age game and I'm still confused as hell. Are the archdemons the old gods or are they high dragons bound to the old gods? How would the evanuris escape the fade to wake up as a dragon?
@@joshbeverly short version. Archdemons are old gods bound to evanuris. The evanuris do not leave the fade to wake them. The darkspawn are who wake the sleeping old gods.
@@TheArdorous Why are there only two evanuris left to escape the fade in Veilguard if killing the archdemons during previous blights didn't kill the other gods as well?
TH-cam seemed to not post my comment. So I'm not typing all that again. So I'll brief it this time and hope it shows back up. The other evanuris are either mind broken or dead because the soul of their old gods were destroyed by a grey warden during their respective blights. They may be alive or not. But they are not functional and are certainly trapped if their body still exists. Elganar and ghilinain bypass this rule by being free and able to use the blight themselves.
Reading the comments sections making me realize im in the wrong crowd. Like damn I didn’t know people actually liked veilguard? Not bashing the previous games but veilguard? To each their own i guess

@joeycampbell940 ......
Starting to think Destiny 2 was the only thing holding Byf back from becoming Hermaeus Mora
INDEED
Why
Been asking for years for Byf to cover Elder Scrolls lore. I would die (not really but still)
Destiny 2 was the only thing holding back Hermaeus Mora* Byf is just his human alias.
Seeing as most of his non destiny stuff gets fuck all views unless it's the flavor of the month game I disagree but glaze away

I watched recap videos like this before I started playing Veilguard! This one is a bit late, but definitely among the best, if not the best!
To the editors: the sound is a bit messed up around 1:47:00.

What's Veilguard? Never heard of it. Is that a community mod or fanfiction?
Shame Bioware stopped the series at Dragon Age: Inquisition.
lol nerd
When Corypheus opened the rift at the original location, why didn't he just go ahead and walk through it? Was it necessary for him to challenge the inquisition to one last battle? Am I missing something?
At 1:47:00 the audio doubles up

Byf needs more respect
would love if we could get a sequel version or something containing some of the clarification provided by veilguard, if you are planning on playing through it and willing to do such a thing that is

Byf id highly recommend a different thumbnail... I didn't know this was you at first and almost skipped it 😮
As always.....good shit Byf. Dragon Age has always been one of my favorites. You nailed this one. Enjoy your break from nerd creations.
I WISH youd play elden ring
FFXIV is the one I want him on.
@Wiles731 that's a good one, too!!
Veilguard ia amazing after a few hours so far. Playing it on Geforce Now
Is it your first one?
Comment for the algorithm!
We can just pretend Veilguard was a bad fanfic XD
You... didn't play it, did you? If you didn't play it, you can't speak on it.
@@SevenVT12 oh no, I played it. I 100% completed it. I even made sure Taash died in my playthrough (LOL). And I still call the game trash
great story. loved Dragon Age. shame it ended with Veilguard being so awful.
