PSA: There's a mirror in your room that lets you edit appearance after the prologue. So don't worry about getting everything perfect in character creation
@@nisse18yea they really force you to accept NB characters and don’t let you call them out on their hypocrisy and instead force you to support them when they go and verbally assault others, while forcing you to accept them
Every dragon age has had a different art style because they've all had different art directors. Just saying the art direction is the only reason you don't like the game is irrelevant.
Danny did you play the previous games? Especially Inquisition? Story follows directly after it, I’m mostly interested in the story unfolding because Inquisition was very captivating!
I loved dragon age Inquisition, the only thing I wasn't able to do was defeat any of the dragons in the game... It seems like they were just virtually invincible.
@@JesseJamison-f6iif you play as a reaver warrior or knight enchanter mage the game becomes 10x easier even on nightmare mode once you get those specializations
I can tell by most people’s comments they haven’t actually PLAYED it. Trust me just watching doesn’t show how much fun this game is. I put down Origins and the second game after twenty minutes. Playing a game is the only real way to tell if you’re going to like it. Even a lot of the honest reviewers are saying that. The real mean ones are just haters.
its middle finger for Drago Age fans not a dragon age game, its not even RPG anymore (calling it rpg is a joke at this point), poor story and that ur forced to follow a story in RPG like in typical FPS like call of duty and/or if it has illusion of choice where all choices still lead to same conclusion (then its no longer a RPG) and that's how this game is 98% choices don't really matter, or that the game treats u like a R-Tard? action alone isn't fun if that's the only positive side of a game, it mite be fun to play but for true DA fan its slap in the face, ppl who like it like it for either for action or cause it panders to their politics or ideology, and i don't give a f about politics or ideology others true fans don't like it, and u don't half to play it to know it sucks for u a true fan and u can critique, cause u can see gameplay videos and see for urself if ppl's critique is correct or not, and i have confirmed that it is, i have all the material saved in my Dragon Age The Veil Guard News and Dragon Age Veilguard Critique playlists, ofc some go in to woke to but not all if u only like it for how action backed it is/for action fine, but for DA fans action isn't enough and they dont care about IRL politics and ideologies and they will tear it apart cause of it, cause of this betrayal stuff like the Isabelle scene don't fit in to dragon age universe, it has no place in dragon age, and cyberpunk did LGBT stuff better organically, here is condescending lecture, and Isabella talks how how this would be making it about urself and yet she is making it about herself, the hypocrisy in that scene was funny😆 ESO doesn't deserve hate cause he is playing it so i hope ppl will be civil
everyone has their own choices with regards to the games that they enjoy, but knowing that you put down Origins within 20 mins of playing while really enjoying this game, tells me everything that i need to about how i will react towards this game.
Will have to watch some more gameplay before I make I final decision but atm, I don't think I'll buy the game. It's just not what I want from a DA game. To be fair, I didn't particularly like 2 and Inqusition. And I don't think you should reward EA for pulling off that stunt with the selective distribution of review codes. Bethesda did it with Starfield and CDPR with Cyberpunk. Both games weren't all that good, at least at release in the case of CP2077.
@@Azhalan sounds like you just aren’t a big fan of dragon age series then? To each their own. Don’t play it then man! Doesn’t bother any of us that want to and will play and enjoy it 🤷🏻♂️
@@ReDefinedHype you’re being purposefully disingenuous with your argument and obtuse. Clearly he is a dragon age fan or else he wouldn’t have said so, is this not obvious? Like him, the vast majority of dragon age’s fan base preferred Origins to the subsequent releases and he’s simply expressing how the series has deviated more and more from what roped people in initially. Of course, I’m doing nothing but literally repeating what was already said, but you did such a good job at pretending you didn’t read it that I had to do so. Also, if only you and the other 5% of the fanbase enjoy the game, it’s also bad news for you guys, because the company will suffer and the IP can get abandoned if the game keeps losing its core audience. Neither you or anyone for that matter will be able to enjoy it then
@@J.R.Swish1my opinion is that people who say I like dragon age but really only mean Origins are fighting shadows or complaining about things that aren't that big of a deal or overestimating for example people say inquisition gameplay was like a single player mmo while Origins a game they love is literally WoW combat auto attacks a hotbar with 100 things on it and you can make you're character glow with a bunch of buffs or how it's left it's dark fantasy roots behind because the companions in Veilguard are witty when Morrigan was the sassiest and wittiest out of everyone, also without spoiling in the beginning of Veilguard you go to a village that's fucked up beyond imagination so idk what the hell people want from dragon age
@hibarikyoya854 yeah people just arguing just to argue, origins was great but clearly they've moved on but Baldurs gate 3 is there if they want a similar playstyle because I've loved every single one of them and so far inquisition is my fave judging by the hours I've put into it. I've yet to play veilguard but once I grab it I'll be on it heavy just like the others but if you're not a fan of the rest of the series and want to complain about it there's other games in this genre that'll fit their taste.
@@FloeticNature Baldur's Gate 3 is a MUCH better game than DA:O was. DA:O showed promise, but it was also very flawed. All DA games since then have been disappointments, until this one which is better. Also, the Qunari in DA:O are just muscular humans.
It doesn't have to cook my breakfast, it just has to entertain me. Looks pretty epic to me. Haters can carry on throwing their rattles out of their prams because the game don't fry an egg. It's just entertainment. A game. People need to get over themselves and get a life.
No don't lie about it. You can't carry over any decisions from the original game. You only carry 3 decisions from the 3rd game, none from the earlier better games.
Happy Halloween ESO-Danny 🎉🎃👻🤡 thank you for bringing us a new playthrough series, hopefully we get to see this through to its entirety.. I've been looking forward to this for months, and it's finally here! So I'm going to join you on this crazy new adventure.. and quite surprisingly Solas it's the one that's headlined in this..wow! It seems like a lot has changed.
I'll give the game a chance and play it for myself. Despite some of the controversy, I think it will be an alright game overall. Plus, I really want to romance Harding.
Personally I don’t care for turn based strategy. Took Baldurs Gate 3 off my console after the tutorial. Playing it felt like I was at work. That’s the opposite of why I play video games.
The game seems ok. The graphics are kinda underwhelming, but I’ll be watching your playthrough and keep an open mind. I think I had different hopes & expectations following Trespasser dlc.
Thanks Danny, I’ve followed you through ESO, and BG3. I loved Elden Ring but couldn’t get past a couple of late bosses. Anyway appreciate your walkthrough and your thoughts. I’ll be following your vid’s and enjoying this game. ❤ from Australia
I've been a Dragon Age fan since Dragan Age: Origins. I vaguely remember feeling similar bad vibes about Dragon Age 2, and ended up loving it. Dragon Age Inquisition ended up being my favourite. After seeing a bit of this, thanks ESO - i'm gonna give Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd a go!
40:15 no, actually Rook did, ur companion warned u about interrupting a ritual, new there is a question, what would have done more damage to the world, letting him complete the ritual or interrupting the ritual like u did, cause u can chose between the 2paths we will never know, but anything that happens on this point is on Rook
Maybe since I’m not a dragon age fan and this my first one and as long as I can create my character the way I want that’s all I care about that’s the whole point of RPGs we all choose our own hero
I will say that, beards are not something that I really care about when choosing a character, The Qunari is my favorite choice character to play as, especially playing as a rogue-stealth character. If that is an option. I like using stealth and subterfuge. But I would also enjoy the game as a mage. Most other games I would play as a warrior or a vanguard, but in this instance I would play just as I was if I was playing DA: Inquisition. With the exception of Enderal/Skyrim. I always choose magic over swords any day.
I listened to all the weirdos talking negative about a game they haven't even played yet and had my doubts... But then i played the game for 5 hours and only had to stop because it's 3 AM... It's so much fun. Even my positive review on steam got insulted by someone in the comments... I don't understand what's happening with the gaming audiences nowadays... Everyone is fueled by hate and can't accept when other people like something they don't like or vice versa
Yeah I totally agree with you aside from the Lgbt bullshit and the fact that this game looks more like overwatch then dragon age the game is really enjoyable
Thank you! There's little stuff that I don't like but that's with any game. The art direction I'm not a fan of, the Qunari looking less menacing, the Elves having normal bodies, and the darkspawn looking goofy. Besides that I'm having a blast. The games not nearly as bad as people are saying.
That's not correct. Some of it is cultural. Some of it is tradition. Some of us are traditionalists and it has nothing to do hate .It has to do with I believe our feelings about what an rpg should be. We are old and we played FFVI VII Tactics Grandia and Sukoiden Morrowind Oblivion Skyrim Super Marion rpg and the list goes on and on. And we never had top scars and we didn't know what a trans was when we were a teenager on to our 20s playing these games. We never had that weird awkward dialogue Isabela had with Vaash and then those pushups . We never had that. And its odd and offputting to us. So just calling it hate shows naivety and a lack of understanding on your part. As it is a reckoning is coming on this .The next few days the player counts will drop and the negative player reviews will increase dramatically and your views will be in the minority.
right only gripe i have is dialogue but after 18 hours of playing customed my combat to up everything but down the hp of enemy. I had so much fun fighting a level 25 enemy while level 14 to the point i was fighting that enemy for 7 hours straight. It felt like dark souls like. I really enjoyed it. The lore follows trespasser. etc. I am genuibely enjoying the game. I was one of those "this game will not be like the others" i honestly loved inquisitions open world map. but its like a mix of inq and da2 imho. I don't get the massive hate. sure its not the best its not the worst. Its just a game
Loving the game so far, I've played them all but this one is the best Dragon Age game. Though I liked the depth of Origins more this game is much more polished than Origins was, and this one is much better than DA2 and Inquisition.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, I did too but to me Veilguard is just ok, not bad, not great but very middle of the road. I'd likely be more disappointed if I hadn't already tempered my expectation the second I heard that only 3 choices from the other games mattered, and really it's only 2 choices unless you pick a specific very specific option for the one. It doesn't feel like Dragon Age, the new combat system feels more like Mass Effect with a Dragon Age veneer, and the writing for both story and dialogue doesn't carry the same spark as the rest of the series, it just feels overall lacking in comparison which is a shame.
I've played 7 hours and love the story so far. Skill tree a little wonky but I'll learn it. Don't know why all the hate specially from people just armchair quarterbacking lmao.
I'm 8 hours in after the choice you get when you recruit Davrin and my thoughts are what game did Matty and skill up play where they said it's not dark or choices have no impact
Well to be honest it is less dark than the first two, though inquisition already was less dark. It's just the art style though, the game has some quite dark elements.
About the only thing I can say I like about the Veilguard footage I've seen is the fantastic hair.. ooh and how Varric looks less like a cartoon, which is funny because most others look more like cartoons😕 I can't believe we waited ten years for THIS, and I thought I was upset when DA2 made my character walk like a street hooker At least I can remove it from my steam wishlist, with no regrets
I'm downloading this game as I type this. My computer has a pretty up to date graphics card, but my CPU and motherboard are a little dated. I doubt my game will look as good as what we've just seen.
This game looks epic af! Visually stunning and i quite liked the combat mechanics and the dialog system! It's been a while since i've played a dragon age game, so lore wise i am quite a bit lost maybe i'll replay the previous games to get reacquaited with the world lore
There is no past style. Every Dragon Age game has a different art style. In terms of quality, this ones the best, in terms of style Inqusition is probably the best.
@@Mythos131 after watching the full episode I’m more onboard now, the environments look cool. The characters feel a bit air brushed but that’s a personal taste.
Absolutely baffled how someone who is so positive, kind, sweet and respectful like ESODanny has viewers/commenters filled with so much hate, vitriol and toxicity. Genuine scum of the earth behaviour. I have no words. You deserve so much better, Danny
It’s not his subscribers it’s people who get the dragon age stuff on their feed. It’s okay to comment how the game is trash. None of the hate is aimed towards ESO.
Nobody has said they hate anyone. Lots of people have said they think the game looks crap which it does so stop being so melodramatic dude, nobody is attacking anyone and all opinions are valid, even the negative ones. Bet you don't see the irony at all about you whining about "Toxic behaviour" while calling people scum of the earth... 😒
No one is forcing you to be here. I personally don’t listen to the media bullshit. I play games just for the fun. If I can manage to play Hogwarts legacy which will force you to use one weapon, I believe I can play this game. This game is Hogwarts Legacy 2.0 with more weapons.
looks great and thanks for sharing.. been waiting for the release and for you to share, lol.. thanks WOW,, update,, seem some individual having issues with this game,, crashing even just trying to get it started, I don't think I should have an issue with this game being my graphic card is Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 ti super (16g) but i think I will sit back and watch the reviews for a bit. But I do like the way looks so far. thanks again for sharing
In my honest opinion, the narrator's dialogue seems weak as hell. The character customization is wild though. I will play this game, only if someone buys it for me.

I don't understand you, my friend. The day before the release, you post a devastating video in which you talk for over 30 minutes about how bad this game is. I've always believed your opinion and made a refund on Steam after purchasing it. But now you've started posting walkthrough videos. You have to decide whether the game is bad or not.
I had no intention of getting this, now I'm invested in the story lol. I've only played Dragon Age Origins, so I have no idea if they are connected or if this is a sequel or not.
I can't wait until we get to the 2-minute mandatory class in how to apologize correctly for mis-pronouncing a gender... I am sorry ESO, appreciate your take on the game, but BioWare has gone full BioWoke and it destroys the series...
How does that affect ur day? Ur life? There's TONS of video games with characters that are nothing like me... Do I cry? No... I either play the game or I don't... Y'all are going around on TH-cam looking up videos for a game you hate just to leave a comment... If you don't see how incredibly stupid that is, I don't know what to tell you
Yes, it looks like a action game of some sort but my word I have not seen, heard or felt anything Dragon Age-ee what so ever so far. I think they should have called this something else. Being named as a DA game is very confusing.
The fact they have been working on it for many years and it has changed direction at least 4-5 times all points to a financial disaster in the making, it has cost well in excess of 200million they claim.

I listened to all the weirdos talking negative about a game they haven't even played yet and had my doubts... But then i played the game for 5 hours and only had to stop because it's 3 AM... It's so much fun. Even my positive review on steam got insulted by someone in the comments... I don't understand what's happening with the gaming audiences nowadays... Everyone is fueled by hate and can't accept when other people like something they don't like or vice versa
Yeah I totally agree with you aside from the Lgbt bullshit and the fact that this game looks more like overwatch then dragon age the game is really enjoyable
Thank you! There's little stuff that I don't like but that's with any game. The art direction I'm not a fan of, the Qunari looking less menacing, the Elves having normal bodies, and the darkspawn looking goofy. Besides that I'm having a blast. The games not nearly as bad as people are saying.
That's not correct. Some of it is cultural. Some of it is tradition. Some of us are traditionalists and it has nothing to do hate .It has to do with I believe our feelings about what an rpg should be. We are old and we played FFVI VII Tactics Grandia and Sukoiden Morrowind Oblivion Skyrim Super Marion rpg and the list goes on and on. And we never had top scars and we didn't know what a trans was when we were a teenager on to our 20s playing these games. We never had that weird awkward dialogue Isabela had with Vaash and then those pushups . We never had that. And its odd and offputting to us. So just calling it hate shows naivety and a lack of understanding on your part. As it is a reckoning is coming on this .The next few days the player counts will drop and the negative player reviews will increase dramatically and your views will be in the minority.
@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc not everyone is the same. Maybe it's not hate for you, but for many others it is.
right only gripe i have is dialogue but after 18 hours of playing customed my combat to up everything but down the hp of enemy. I had so much fun fighting a level 25 enemy while level 14 to the point i was fighting that enemy for 7 hours straight. It felt like dark souls like. I really enjoyed it. The lore follows trespasser. etc. I am genuibely enjoying the game. I was one of those "this game will not be like the others" i honestly loved inquisitions open world map. but its like a mix of inq and da2 imho. I don't get the massive hate. sure its not the best its not the worst. Its just a game
hard pass.
Okay … gonna be your fault your missing out . Bye bye bandwagon loser
@@BrooklynBornn what is he missing out on when the story isn't as compelling as the other titles. DAO is 4 dallors on sale, this game is 70
damn this game looks so fantastic on PC compared to PS5 wtf I wish I never watched this gameplay footage lol
dang Danny that hair! because you are worth it
Loving the game so far, I've played them all but this one is the best Dragon Age game. Though I liked the depth of Origins more this game is much more polished than Origins was, and this one is much better than DA2 and Inquisition.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, I did too but to me Veilguard is just ok, not bad, not great but very middle of the road. I'd likely be more disappointed if I hadn't already tempered my expectation the second I heard that only 3 choices from the other games mattered, and really it's only 2 choices unless you pick a specific very specific option for the one. It doesn't feel like Dragon Age, the new combat system feels more like Mass Effect with a Dragon Age veneer, and the writing for both story and dialogue doesn't carry the same spark as the rest of the series, it just feels overall lacking in comparison which is a shame.
You gave up after Part 1 and not only do I not blame you, it's better for everyone that you aren't subject to such cruel and unusual punishment.
I've played 7 hours and love the story so far. Skill tree a little wonky but I'll learn it. Don't know why all the hate specially from people just armchair quarterbacking lmao.
I'm 8 hours in after the choice you get when you recruit Davrin and my thoughts are what game did Matty and skill up play where they said it's not dark or choices have no impact
@@hibarikyoya854Sounds like an idiot. Harding going full Sauron that first time was intense.
Why is it so PG? Wtf happened to the dark and gritty world building😮💨
Ok so you haven't played it?
Well to be honest it is less dark than the first two, though inquisition already was less dark. It's just the art style though, the game has some quite dark elements.
About the only thing I can say I like about the Veilguard footage I've seen is the fantastic hair.. ooh and how Varric looks less like a cartoon, which is funny because most others look more like cartoons😕
I can't believe we waited ten years for THIS, and I thought I was upset when DA2 made my character walk like a street hooker
At least I can remove it from my steam wishlist, with no regrets
Definitely my favorite person to watch play throughs with
It’s good that Elves don’t have beard options in DA. I don’t like games that have beard options for Elves. Elves are not supposed to have beards.
I'm downloading this game as I type this. My computer has a pretty up to date graphics card, but my CPU and motherboard are a little dated. I doubt my game will look as good as what we've just seen.
Don't even know what to say. This is just disappointing.
Now I want to play this game just because of the hair. 😮
Same XD
This game looks epic af! Visually stunning and i quite liked the combat mechanics and the dialog system! It's been a while since i've played a dragon age game, so lore wise i am quite a bit lost maybe i'll replay the previous games to get reacquaited with the world lore
Didn’t realize Danny is 6’5 haha damn😂
This looks like more like kingdoms of Amalur. It’s a huge shift from the past style not sure I can adapt
There is no past style. Every Dragon Age game has a different art style. In terms of quality, this ones the best, in terms of style Inqusition is probably the best.
Also Bioware is completely different. So judge the game on its current merits not past merits.
It looks 10x better
@@jacksonmullen2218 lol ok mate
@@Mythos131 after watching the full episode I’m more onboard now, the environments look cool. The characters feel a bit air brushed but that’s a personal taste.
I'm 8 hours in and loving it. Sure I could be picky about some things but overall it's a wonderful game. Thank you for just playing the game.
Absolutely baffled how someone who is so positive, kind, sweet and respectful like ESODanny has viewers/commenters filled with so much hate, vitriol and toxicity. Genuine scum of the earth behaviour. I have no words. You deserve so much better, Danny
Skill up and MrMatty has has brought so much negatively, Starfield is bad, Starwars Outlaws is bad and now this.
I'm literally crying.This hate has gone too far. Bioware and EA don't deserve this, I know their not perfect, but give them a chance. ❤
Calling people "scum of the earth" isn't exactly positive, kind, sweet and respectful.
It’s not his subscribers it’s people who get the dragon age stuff on their feed. It’s okay to comment how the game is trash. None of the hate is aimed towards ESO.
Nobody has said they hate anyone. Lots of people have said they think the game looks crap which it does so stop being so melodramatic dude, nobody is attacking anyone and all opinions are valid, even the negative ones. Bet you don't see the irony at all about you whining about "Toxic behaviour" while calling people scum of the earth... 😒
one hell of a start to a game .....WOW!
I love your videos but this one is a hard pass for me.
No one is forcing you to be here. I personally don’t listen to the media bullshit. I play games just for the fun. If I can manage to play Hogwarts legacy which will force you to use one weapon, I believe I can play this game. This game is Hogwarts Legacy 2.0 with more weapons.
So far I'm diggin it. Looking forward to another video 👍
why's varric look like ulfric stormcloak
looks great and thanks for sharing.. been waiting for the release and for you to share, lol.. thanks WOW,, update,, seem some individual having issues with this game,, crashing even just trying to get it started, I don't think I should have an issue with this game being my graphic card is Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 ti super (16g) but i think I will sit back and watch the reviews for a bit. But I do like the way looks so far. thanks again for sharing
Most issues stemed from the shader cache folder, delete everything inside and you should be all good. Its a weird quirk but that usually fixes it.
@@etherealblacketernal2889 Thanks, $80 for the game bit steep at the moment. I am 71yrs old and still love playing these games. thanks for the update.
Honestly the bugs have been minimal. It really was polished on release.
Can you do a long form stream playthrough?
I meant varric 😂
I really don't know why they went for this art style. I'm so disappointed in everything I'm seeing of this game.
Dragon Age 2 was worse in art style
Dei causing this game to D I E
In my honest opinion, the narrator's dialogue seems weak as hell. The character customization is wild though. I will play this game, only if someone buys it for me.
You’ve never played before. Varric is the narrator. This is third appearance as an npc in the series.
@briangraham6843 doesn't change the fact that the narration is weak ASF
Is this game worth buying? Because I really like baldur’s gate 3 after I play it.
This one isn’t turn based.
if u only care about action then yes,
its middle finger for Drago Age fans not a dragon age game, its not even RPG anymore (calling it rpg is a joke at this point), poor story and that ur forced to follow a story in RPG like in typical FPS like call of duty and/or if it has illusion of choice where all choices still lead to same conclusion (then its no longer a RPG) and that's how this game is 98% choices don't really matter, or that the game treats u like a R-Tard? action alone isn't fun if that's the only positive side of a game, it mite be fun to play but for true DA fan its slap in the face, ppl who like it like it for either for action or cause it panders to their politics or ideology, and i don't give a f about politics or ideology others true fans don't like it, and u don't half to play it to know it sucks for u a true fan and u can critique, cause u can see gameplay videos and see for urself if ppl's critique is correct or not, and i have confirmed that it is, i have all the material saved in my Dragon Age The Veil Guard News and Dragon Age Veilguard Critique playlists, ofc some go in to woke to but not all
if u only like it for how action backed it is/for action fine, but for DA fans action isn't enough and they dont care about IRL politics and ideologies and they will tear it apart cause of it, cause of this betrayal
stuff like the Isabelle scene don't fit in to dragon age universe, it has no place in dragon age, and cyberpunk did LGBT stuff better organically, here is condescending lecture, and Isabella talks how how this would be making it about urself and yet she is making it about herself, the hypocrisy in that scene was funny😆
The haters don’t like the fact that it isn’t exactly the game they wanted. Take it as its own thing.
@@briangraham6843 critique isn't hate, way to dismiss critique 😆, but as i said if ur not DA fan/u like it for action then its fine
I don't understand you, my friend. The day before the release, you post a devastating video in which you talk for over 30 minutes about how bad this game is. I've always believed your opinion and made a refund on Steam after purchasing it. But now you've started posting walkthrough videos. You have to decide whether the game is bad or not.
Yo the comments lol
Battle mage? Bet
Im loving it so far.
Wow, this game really sucks.
Another bandwagon bandit. *slow clap*
😂 NO!
Not as much as your demeanor.
@@keithbk you're in the wrong place for that, buck-o. This game does not suck as much as your attitude sucks.
No, that's just you
That was a freaking awesome prologue!!!!!!
Awesome chapter of a great franchise. Thank you for sharing.
who are going to romance
Torn between Harding and Bellara. Getting to my decision point.
Artistic decisions apart, the graphics are amazing!!
Looks decent actually.
So many people said this game is horrible but I am waiting on your honest opinion on the game
Looks like Guardian of Galaxy game
Sounds like a huge compliment then.
@ESO choose one: Skyrim, Souls, Witcher3, Dragons Dogma, Dragon Age
lol Danny casually handing out wrecks
I had no intention of getting this, now I'm invested in the story lol. I've only played Dragon Age Origins, so I have no idea if they are connected or if this is a sequel or not.
Same world but really far removed
It is a direct sequel to Inquisition and it's Trespasser DLC.
my 2nd play of Inquisition was when I decided Harding is a babe. Total Babe.
I agree. Weirdly enough Bellara is starting to grow on me too.
The game is very odd I enjoy the combat and art style but man some of the diolouge is so bad however I am enjoying it and plan on finishing it
The game super good
I can't wait until we get to the 2-minute mandatory class in how to apologize correctly for mis-pronouncing a gender... I am sorry ESO, appreciate your take on the game, but BioWare has gone full BioWoke and it destroys the series...
I saw that. It’s so cringe and woke.
How does that affect ur day? Ur life? There's TONS of video games with characters that are nothing like me... Do I cry? No... I either play the game or I don't... Y'all are going around on TH-cam looking up videos for a game you hate just to leave a comment... If you don't see how incredibly stupid that is, I don't know what to tell you
@@cruzanassassinshut up MEG
@@cruzanassassin The fact that youre dismissing his concern and the effect it has on him already tells me alot.
i dont agree nor disagree with this, but yall throw around the term “woke” without even knowing what it really means
Yes, it looks like a action game of some sort but my word I have not seen, heard or felt anything Dragon Age-ee what so ever so far. I think they should have called this something else. Being named as a DA game is very confusing.
The fact they have been working on it for many years and it has changed direction at least 4-5 times all points to a financial disaster in the making, it has cost well in excess of 200million they claim.
Necks are nonexistent 😂
Try playing a dwarf.
Do not buy this game...this is a Humiliation Ritual and a Mental Struggle Session combined into one...
