Actually, the characters are not that bad, Bellara surprised me, I liked her a lot, and I thought she was going to be annoying. But at the same time, I think the characters are overall mid, and they didn't live up to the hype that the developers were marketing them. They were marketed as the best characters never seen in Dragon Age, and to be honest, they aren't. Personally I liked them more than Inquisition' characters, but definitely not more than Origins and DA2's.

Felt like there should've been more scenes, but I feel like that for all the romances so far. It was such a nice romance though, theres a ton of chemistry here. Felt like more effort was put into this one than all three of the female romances 💀 8.5/10.

(to me) it feels like due to his writer not being complete dogshit and unlike many others at new bioware understanding how to use dialogue and scenes that it all flows naturally instead of the awkward pauses where two puppets stare at each other "romantically" before one of these robots remembers to recite the next badly written line to progress the scene. Hence the effort being put in Emmrich's romance is... simply that it feels normal from its progression/flow instead of awkward and stilted. And hat is why it sticks out like a sour thumb compared to the others. Or rather... the other romances does compared to this one 💀

@Bloomingtide Kudos to Sylvia Feketekuty for that (if I'm not mistaken) who also wrote Josephine. Josephine's romance was always one of my favorites in Inquisition! Trick Weekes was the one who wrote Tash and Solas was his character though so wirh Solavellan hell being one of his finest work, how does their romance go?

Hate the way they write Rook during romances. Acts more like an unconfident teenager which makes it hard to immerse yourself if youre roleplaying as someone more confident in themselves. They feel a lot like Ryder from Mass Effect and I wasnt crazy about Ryder.

So if we take for example Cullen and count only romance scenes and no additional talking, it would be around 23 minutes, here all of these romances are even shorter…honestly it’s not bad, it’s pretty good but could use at least one or two addictional scenes. Just A BIT longer, to get hooked a bit better. These cuts and developping problems really are visable.

Okay... this is the first romance in Veilguard where i did not cringe at the dialogue or the flow of it. It feels the most natural of all veilguard romances in progression and narrative-wise. Helps that Emmrich's character is older and thus has less dogshit "i could go for a pumpkin spice latte" anachronistic quippy dialogue, I guess. Delighted to see that not all writers at new bioware are incompetent as hell though, but nowadays this is a very low bar to cross 💀

I thought you could make an older character with the creator this time? Do you know if there's any way to get an acknowledgment that you aren't playing a young character? Cute romance. Sad to hear all of them are apparently so short... do we know how much companion banter there is supplementing things? Are there any?
@mlj3347Күн бұрын
The game overall feels short, but I like what’s there. I have to remember the studio is much smaller than when we got previous BioWare romances, and it’s a very different type of game than the previous ones. I found myself missing a lot more of the romance content in this game so it did feel a little short.

Feels very akin to how ME:A was, especially with rook being so awkward and the tone being so quippy and forced cheery/too modern. Emmerich is here one of the better written romances but that is not saying much regarding the overall lack of quality and nuance to find in veilguards writing 🥴
