Dragon Age: The Veilguard keeps winning me over.

More news from Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I'm finding myself surprised how the excitement is slowly creeping up on me, I might even play on this on day one.

Awesome video. I agree completely. We need more customization and modular difficulty

[@TemplarDudeLT]

Don't care about the difficulty sliders since I'll be playing how I want it, but imo a game without difficulty is not a game.
That's what makes the traditional games (hide and seek, catch, floor is lava, ...) fun, it scales with the opposing player/circumstances, making a harmless challenge to overcome - a game.
Try to remember your childhood, what core thing all your made-up games had in common.
You might say that you're in just for the story, but so am I.

Each of the previous Dragon Age games for my first playthrough I had the game on the story-mode/easiest difficulty setting so that I can enjoy the story and get used to the gameplay (especially useful for DA2 and DAI as the gameplay style changed from the previous game in the series). Every replay of the game trying the different classes, or making different choices, I play on the balanced difficulty setting. Having a single player role-playing game where you can tweak the difficulty to suit your own needs/preference for the game play just makes sense to me.
Given how much the gameplay I've seen for Veilguard looks like Mass Effect, I might actually start on balanced, and switch to unbound if I need to tweak anything down until I get used to the game.

I like it also :) I don't know why people are complaining, this looks amazing

Yeah I agree people need to get their head checked if they are against other people's genders or sexuality lol. Nobody cares if you play a transgender character or if an NPC is homosexual or transgender or whatever. The blacklash from the DA:V trailer comes for a variety of reasons.
The trailer looks like it is a cookie cutter marvel inspired formula, which many dislike due to how marvel is slowly ruining cinema. You should watch the marvelization of cinema and the effects it has upon the film industry, truly a sad sight to behold. The earlier Dragon Age games from 1-2 was heavily tolkien inspired from Lord of the Rings. Just watch the trailers of DA:O and you will get a feel of what the game aspired to be. The game was intended to be this dark fantasy brutalistic style compared to this new comedy light hearted slop of a veilguard. You have hundreds of original fans who liked the ORIGINAL creative vision of the game, which now this creative vision has drastically changed. Of course you will have many different opinions about the new trailer. It's like you are replacing the original fans that made you who you are in order to appease to the general masses (which marvel cinema does). Whenever you appeal to the general masses, you will lose your core vision. This is what transpired similarly to Starfield, the characters are bland and safe and there is nothing that stands out because the company is focused on appealing to the masses in order to maximize profit. Ironically, this is what causes most triple A studios to collapse on itself. When a gaming company looks to profit off the masses instead of focusing on their target audience that got them popular in the first place, they lose their original audience and end up going bankrupt because the masses eat up their slop and in turn make the game bad. Because the creative vision is sacrificed for money. Hence we are now in a similar position with Dragon Age Veilguard. They got popular from 1-2, lost their popularity in Mass effect andromeda and anthem and dragon age inquisition. Now they are nailing the hammer to their coffin with Veilguard.
Another point is that nobody cares of your gender or sexuality. The problem is when you have gaming companies with shareholders like blackrock who want to shove their politics down your throat. They want to show you what their company values are and they use video games as a medium to send you that message.That is why you see many AAA games failing very bad now and why there are so many devs in these AAA industries being laid off. People are no longer taking this shit. Nobody cared about the gay couple in the last of us tv show because it was genuine love and it was not cringe politics shoved down your throat by the actors acting as a medium for some shitty politics.. Neither did anyone care about the romances in Baldur's Gate 3 because the writing was good, BG3 was focused on giving a good story rather than being committed to forcing gamers to eat up their politics. THIS is why there is backlash on DA:V, because Bioware has lost its reputation and trust for good writing and making good games. Then after almost a DECADE of working on DA:V, they make this slop of a trailer?? It looks like a joke because it is a joke.
I play video games to enjoy good writing, I want to have the big plots and character drama with flawed characters to understand what message a game tries to tell me. It is sort of like reading a book where you try to understand what message a writer tries to tell you. Most of these AAA games is "White man bad, gay queer furry good." And this is all to get some insert of a companies policies and values about what they want their image to be percieved as. DEI is a cancer to gaming because it is disingenous. Look at Amazing Spider Man game man, they removed the LGBTQ logos in the game to be able to sell it in Saudia Arabia, it goes to tell you how much these companies really give a fk about inclucivity. It's just politics and I am sick and tired of it in my games. I will never purchase these type of games, I will only buy games with good writing and characters with development and depth.

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.😑
