That's more of a Charlie problem than the game, tho. The game reviewed very well. And its #1 on Steam on several regions across the world. Its the best selling entry in the series.
How can a game, where the dialogue is apparently so important, do such a bad job with writing and voice acting? Look at Elden Ring, a game where a main thing about it is gameplay and they treat their lore and story is vague, mysterious, and open ended... they are miles ahead on terms of writing and voice acting. How is this a thing???
Elden Ring was worked on by GRRM. This game was worked on who clapped and cheered during every scene of Game of Thrones season 8, then posted their reactions online thinking everyone was on the same page until they updated their group think programming to what most people were saying.
This writing is abysmal...Neve is the detective and she constantly talks about investigating things, Harding talks abour scouting- Such surface level exposition. Absolutely criminal coming out of Bioware.
13:38 Minor issue but it ground my gears to fine dust; This is an automaton made of unconnected parts around a magical core, yet when the magical core dissipates the body still acts like a coherent whole despite being unconnected sheets of metal. They didn't even animate the parts falling apart its just light on = alive, light off = dead. It upsets me a little ngl. 14:14 MAJOR issue; this is forgotten lore, and the elves do not remember their history and yet these elves are aware of it all, even the fate of their gods which up until this game had been wreathed in myth legend and mystery. The elven pantheons situation being unknown to all except Solas, presumably Flemeth and the Inquisitor (thanks to speaking to Solas) yet everyone and their mother knows about it in this game for some reason.
They hand waved the elf lore by saying they found a bunch of stuff in the 10 years lead up to veilguard. Its pretty trash, would have been more interesting if the dalish flocked to the evanuris.
And the way everything seems so magical and everyone don't give a damn about it is so weird man. Is this the universe were mages were locked into towers?
I heard a line of dialogue earlier about how the Qun "take care of each other" and I just.... can't with the desecration of lore that is so established.

Go back another 10 years, 90's Disney, and could have been amazing. I'm missing some Don Karnage of Tail Spin right now, too bad he'd probably be considered a problematic stereotype.
the fact that even though theres a small floating text saying how to do a basic attack they still pop up a massive window pausing the game saying the same thing except as a giant paragraph with a preview video really says a lot about game design nowadays
And obviously it is needed since Charlie didn’t even realize why he couldn’t change the surname despite several indicators around that input box that denoted it was dictated by background choice. People don’t read. He didn’t even stop once to read a codex entry. It’s not surprising. This isn’t his style of game. That doesn’t t mean it’s bad. But plenty of people enjoy the pace and storytelling as well as the codex entries.
bc they probably got paid to make a good review by ea, its really obvious when people who gave even minor critiques of the game were denied review codes
Outerworlds was really fun. People don't like fun anymore. They want their idea of perfection. It's sad af but goofy fun is no longer allowed to be considered good. Not every movie has to be citizen kane and not every video game has to be elden ring :(
I don't understand why they made Solas a secondary antagonist when Inquisition played him up so much. Most of all, he's actually an interesting and nuanced character, as opposed to the Elven gods who end up being the main antagonists, who are literally just moustache-twirling one-dimensional Saturday morning cartoon villains. Shame because their actual character designs look cool.
@abdeaubacktayes750 Probably because he played the same game I'm playing. Idk maybe we're both wrong, maybe Solas becomes more central in the later acts, or the other two gods become interesting.
Well... That's the common factor every time a game is woke. Super onedimentional characters. Cause in the mind of woke people, it really is just good vs evil - them vs all the racists, bigots and sexists. That's why the writing sucks in both games and movies that are woke... They don't see people, they just see labels.
It reminds me of a G-rated Disney Marvel movie. Do you actually ever kill a human or elf, or are all the enemies just "magical creatures" that never bleed. I know there are cultists, but they are hooded and you cannot really tell what they are. Remember in DA:Origins and DA2 where your character would be literally covered in blood? Do they have any of that Grimdark stuff, or is this just a Disney movie?
They already killed Mass Effect before with Andromeda. How people still have any expectation for Bioware after Anthem & Andromeda is completely beyond me.
I’m surprised Charlie skipped the scarring. He completely missed the top surgery scars. Also I find it comical you can give a male top surgery scars and adjust the size of his butt and budge, but if you a female you can’t give her breasts bigger than a 32 A and a flat butt
What they did to Isabella legitimately convinced me to not even pirate the game. They disrespected the entire fanbase with this “game.” I can’t even imagine what they’ve done to fan favorites like varric or morrigan
It's insane the disparity between what reviews gave this game as score and the public score of this game. Reviews love it Actual real people and community sentiment is so sad and disappointed.
Let me be the millionth people to say it: publications and their writers have a very defined philosophical and political ideology/agenda through which they hand out ratings. This very often conflicts with what normal people like.
Kind of resembles the current political climate. It's like people see and hear one thing, but then the media tells us the opposite. Very weird time to live in.
But IGN and other citics gave it 9/10 or even 10/10. How can it be bad if it's (according to professional critics) in the same ballpark as RDR2, Elden Ring, GTAV or TW3?

@ nah listen to the dialogue it sounds so artificial and the consistent repeating of what the plot is, it’s like an ai trying to hold a long story together. Even a human that’s terrible at their job wouldn’t keep repeating the plot over and over and over like that
Likely because that's what the writers experience in their day-to-day at the workplace. Any negativity or disagreement is highly frowned upon, so everyone pretends to be chummy and get along and always share the same opinions, so it makes sense that's how their writing ends up.
All they had to do was write a decent plot. Couldn't even do that. 1 hour in and they already assassinated the character of Solas, guy was my second favorite DA villain behind the Arishok. At least it explains why they changed the name from "Dreadwolf" to "Veilguard", it's not about Solas anymore.

Watch there be a DLC plot twist in which they actually didn't. And every step you take you hear them being surprised by this newfound information. Then at the end of it, you free the Elven Gods so that they can go back to saying it.
Because Bioware are Disney now, so none of the enemies can be too human looking. It's all a big vortex from space and robot-like enemies that don't bleed.
The biggest slap in the face over to me personally is the decision not to carry on major decisions and plot points players made that affected the story in previous games That told me these activists didn’t care about making a game out of passion for the franchise and to not even bother or care about it BioWare is dead and I hope it shuts down Long live old BioWare and the memories it created for all of us So I say this to all the captain shepherds out there, all the grey wardens! All the gamers that grew up in the golden age of video games! Find a game you love and have fun
Ok now I know its not worth it. Ironically I'd love a cartoony god-of-war style game But I do not like EA, buying games full price or being attacked by the creator of the game I'll wait till it costs as much as a sandwich
@thebro6204 yet they had no hand at Anthem, look, I HATE EA for having my favorite IPs hostage, but sometimes we have to admit the publisher isn't always the one to blame
@@EldenLord-wh4ov ea literally replaced all of the bioware vets that made these franchises. It is most certainly EAs fault. These are just EA DEI hires masquerading in a bioware skin suit. That's why there is such a stark difference in writing, tone, and game play
@@EldenLord-wh4ov They have a long and storied history of turning good studios into slop. And even if not condemed here BW has boned itself enough. I feel like I'm being pretty biofair when I give this game a bio-glare. After all the bio(er be)ware
Btw the women in this game don't die, and the guys that get introduced literally even for a second gets atomized, idk if people noticed that at all or just ignore it.
It's a bad sign when Charlie's joke character is cooler, more interesting and more attractive than the official characters. They look straight out of Concord.
The writing is wack, the combat is boring af and the story so far is pretty lackluster. I haven't been hooked unfortunately, feels very underwhelming from Bioware.
If you think the game sucks and is full of cringe then the most charitable and reasonable score would be 5, an average. 6 means not bad/good enough, which kinda contradicts your impression about the game.
I love DA. Origins is GOATed. 2 is an unremarkable, if not decent, romp through Kirkwall. Inquisition is comfort food for me. Really thought about trying this. I really did 😒
Same until I saw Isabella pull a Barve, the pirate character ironically made it such that I went from on the verge of hitting buy, to not even wanting to pirate it.
(fights a boss while having around 35% hp). "Im at low health, but im not healing like a b..." (0,3 secs later: gets hit, now down to 20% hp). "Im healing!" (a single quickheal brought him up to like 80% hp). Me: "Lmaoooo"
Its crazy how Baldurs Gate 3 was more Dragon Age than this game but then again Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were the inspiration for Dragon Age 1. So I guess it makes sense.
What are you talking about? This game is much better than inquisition it’s def the best dragon age game I’ve played I’m not going back and playing the old outdated crap games
You know what they did.. ask Don Corleone what they did to his beautiful baby boy and you’ll have the right answer. The Second game was peak Horn boy design
The only way this game can be saved is if someone makes a mod where you can be pure renegade, you can just misgender taash in every conversation making them eventually go insane.
I can't stop laughing at all these cutscenes with Pubus. You got super serious discussion topic about world ending events, then it cuts to a guy who spent the last 7 years mewing and getting hit in the face with a frying pan.
Considering most reviews are from people who played less than 30 minutes and are review bombing because it’s “woke” it’s not surprising steam is rightfully removing spam reviews.
CRT is obvious (that's when they make fun of white people and push anti-racism etc). Nextflix is full of it lol. But Queer-theory is the biggest source of gaming failure rn. I didn't completely understand what queer-theory was until recently when I read their own definition. Basically, they're actively trying to combat anything and everything that's widely considered "normal". Things like masculinity, feminity, hetero/straight couples, love within the same race, beauty standards, traditional romance, nuclear family. etc. All of that they are trying very hard to erase completely in favor of "weird stuff" and using diversity, inclusion and representation as an excuse to exclude everything that's normal. And as a natural consequence of avoiding / erasing what's normal, they also get rid of what the vast majority of people want to see. What's popular, hot and cool also takes a major hit.
No, Americans destroyed modern gaming. If they didn't turn just being human into a political thing, none of this would happen. But now suddenly everything is a *culture war*, when it's just a trans person in a game. That country is so weird.
Seems like Charlie had more fun in the character creator than the actual game itself

4:47 charlie’s character was so cursed, so horrendous, it caused the space-time continuum to recoil and spawn a rift from fortnite
Hey, Charlie, did you know the Elven Gods escaped from their prison?
Watch there be a DLC plot twist in which they actually didn't. And every step you take you hear them being surprised by this newfound information. Then at the end of it, you free the Elven Gods so that they can go back to saying it.
Don't spoil it for him. Sheesh. He was just beginning to pick up the subtle clues in the dialog as well.
Everything else I expected but why the Darkspawn design?? Why does every game after Origins keep downgrading the Darkspawn?!
Because Bioware are Disney now, so none of the enemies can be too human looking. It's all a big vortex from space and robot-like enemies that don't bleed.
The only one that looked better to me after Origins was aspects of the Ogre’s in the second game
The biggest slap in the face over to me personally is the decision not to carry on major decisions and plot points players made that affected the story in previous games
That told me these activists didn’t care about making a game out of passion for the franchise and to not even bother or care about it
BioWare is dead and I hope it shuts down
Long live old BioWare and the memories it created for all of us
So I say this to all the captain shepherds out there, all the grey wardens! All the gamers that grew up in the golden age of video games!
Find a game you love and have fun

You need to do a Barve now for making fun of that brilliantly written scene you bigot
1 hour? you misremembering something. it definitely was infinity and half long.
If you get the side view, you'll see that the butt slider is USELESS. It goes from literally no gluteus muscles to small.
Seeing old beloved characters from previous Dragon Age games forced to be a part of this abomination of a game upsets me as a Dragon Age fan.
Ok now I know its not worth it.
Ironically I'd love a cartoony god-of-war style game
But I do not like EA, buying games full price or being attacked by the creator of the game
I'll wait till it costs as much as a sandwich
This was made by Bioware though
@@EldenLord-wh4ovbioware is owned by EA. Everyone that made the games we love haven't been at bioware for years
@thebro6204 yet they had no hand at Anthem, look, I HATE EA for having my favorite IPs hostage, but sometimes we have to admit the publisher isn't always the one to blame
@@EldenLord-wh4ov ea literally replaced all of the bioware vets that made these franchises. It is most certainly EAs fault. These are just EA DEI hires masquerading in a bioware skin suit. That's why there is such a stark difference in writing, tone, and game play
@@EldenLord-wh4ov They have a long and storied history of turning good studios into slop. And even if not condemed here BW has boned itself enough.
I feel like I'm being pretty biofair when I give this game a bio-glare.

Btw the women in this game don't die, and the guys that get introduced literally even for a second gets atomized, idk if people noticed that at all or just ignore it.
@@Jumblion Didn't ask my content is better"

what the fuck that's cooked lmao
Seriously? That's so weird...
I wonder why
Charlie’s character in every RPG looks like an inbred version of Giga Chad meme
Gigacest.
It's a bad sign when Charlie's joke character is cooler, more interesting and more attractive than the official characters. They look straight out of Concord.
I identify as non-buynary
The writing is wack, the combat is boring af and the story so far is pretty lackluster. I haven't been hooked unfortunately, feels very underwhelming from Bioware.
The bioware you know has been gone for years
You’re wack just stop playing games if you don’t like this
Some people lowered the difficulty on purpose so they could be done quicker with the game. That's a big red flag
I was bored watching Charlie play it. I assume he played on normal. Some of the enemies were so spongy even then.

A 6/10 is the most charitable I can be for the cringe I just witnessed. That’s the best I can do.
After everything I've seen the most I'd go is a 5
@@thebro6204in today's standard, journalist can't even give a rating below 5 so it's considered a 0/5.
If you think the game sucks and is full of cringe then the most charitable and reasonable score would be 5, an average. 6 means not bad/good enough, which kinda contradicts your impression about the game.
@@buggart I'd have to start digging with a shovel to reach modern gaming journalists standards
I'd give it a 5, but the price drops it down to 4.
Why the f*** do they keep changing the demons!?!? In Origins they were unique and scary now they’re just kiddie grim reapers
I love DA. Origins is GOATed. 2 is an unremarkable, if not decent, romp through Kirkwall. Inquisition is comfort food for me.
Really thought about trying this. I really did 😒
Same. 😕
Yeah idk how many times I’ve played origins
Bruh, I feel you. I made it a point to replay the whole trilogy in preparation and now.....😔 well at least I have the memories....
Maybe its a hot take, but inquisition was ubisoft-ified slop too.
Same until I saw Isabella pull a Barve, the pirate character ironically made it such that I went from on the verge of hitting buy, to not even wanting to pirate it.
Someone pointed out that the UI and character/gear menu looks like a ripoff of Hogwarts Legacy and I can’t unsee it
(fights a boss while having around 35% hp).
"Im at low health, but im not healing like a b..."
(0,3 secs later: gets hit, now down to 20% hp).
"Im healing!" (a single quickheal brought him up to like 80% hp).

"Lmaoooo"

damn.. the enemies cant even harm your teammates.
Dialogue that sounds like it's fresh off a mandatory HR sexual harassment training video.
It should.. it’s a mature game and we deserve to have both half’s of the video at the minimum instead of just the HR approved shit
I forgot. Have the elven gods been released? And are they or are they not blighting the land?
You'll just have to keep playing the game to find out.
They escaped yes.
an rpg where your choice doesnt even matter, wow
(26:08) In case you missed it, their gods have escaped. I love Charlie's "this must be how Dormammu felt" comment. 🤣
1:29 successfully made an inbred character 😂
What I imagine handsome squidward looks like.
Yeehaw, he's just a good Ole boy!
Don’t know why this game even has dialogue choices when it doesn’t change a thing.
Its crazy how Baldurs Gate 3 was more Dragon Age than this game but then again Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were the inspiration for Dragon Age 1. So I guess it makes sense.
I havent heard anything good about this game yet, from anyone.
Just access shill journalists I think. Actual authentic gamers aren't so hot on it.
Been Watching Asmondgold live today, he's enjoying it overall.
Mortismal gaming called it his game of the year and the best Dragon Age game ever made. Then I saw footage and ended my subscription to his channel.
@@ArturoGonzalez-st7xjanti woke cornball it’s a video game

What are you talking about? This game is much better than inquisition it’s def the best dragon age game I’ve played I’m not going back and playing the old outdated crap games
@@dimes305 Infinitely worse writing than Inquisition, definitely better combat/gameplay.
Not being able to be evil in a choice based bioware game is a crime.
Charlie saving me money, what a swell fella. This looks like generic garb.
How did we get here from origins? This is just sad
what did they do to the quanari
is that how the default they look now
You know what they did.. ask Don Corleone what they did to his beautiful baby boy and you’ll have the right answer. The Second game was peak Horn boy design
Pubus is giving Edward Norton in Fight Club.
The only way this game can be saved is if someone makes a mod where you can be pure renegade, you can just misgender taash in every conversation making them eventually go insane.
I can't stop laughing at all these cutscenes with Pubus. You got super serious discussion topic about world ending events, then it cuts to a guy who spent the last 7 years mewing and getting hit in the face with a frying pan.

Normally a game iterating its villains over and over indicates the writers didn't actually do anything to showcase the evil
Why does Rook sound like Captain N: the game master?

Politics and gender discussions have absolutely destroyed modern gaming. Its not even a conspiracy anymore. Its just in your face
CRT is obvious (that's when they make fun of white people and push anti-racism etc). Nextflix is full of it lol. But Queer-theory is the biggest source of gaming failure rn.
I didn't completely understand what queer-theory was until recently when I read their own definition. Basically, they're actively trying to combat anything and everything that's widely considered "normal". Things like masculinity, feminity, hetero/straight couples, love within the same race, beauty standards, traditional romance, nuclear family. etc. All of that they are trying very hard to erase completely in favor of "weird stuff" and using diversity, inclusion and representation as an excuse to exclude everything that's normal.
And as a natural consequence of avoiding / erasing what's normal, they also get rid of what the vast majority of people want to see. What's popular, hot and cool also takes a major hit.
No, Americans destroyed modern gaming. If they didn't turn just being human into a political thing, none of this would happen. But now suddenly everything is a *culture war*, when it's just a trans person in a game. That country is so weird.
Doesn’t seem like gender inclusion is really the downfall of the game, more like everything else they put in it
