The Start of My Dwarven Journey | Dragon Age: The Veilguard PT 1

[@efrenarevalo2025]

Guys, you hate the game and not the channel FFS. Don't spam dislikes just because Jesse plays this.

[@chris6567]

Hopefully he finishes the game this time. I have not forgiven him for abandoning his DA:I run! I was so invested.

[@bazsato6323]

Also love that Jessie, like me, has played through inquisition and then still asked what the mirror did 😂😂

[@writershard5065]

Tbf, we've had Eluvians talked about since Dragon Age Origins' DLC :V Though they only get named in 2.

[@mara_jade021]

​@@writershard5065 Wrong! If you play game as a dalish elf you can have the origin when you're afflicted by a direct eluvian arifact corrupted

[@brittanygilbert7843]

the hair in this game really does look amazing. i swear, whoever made them must've spent some time in the sims modding community rofl

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

Aw yeah, the Drop kicking dwarf's story is here

[@hoabinh555]

Wow, an HOUR in character creation? Jesse must have been in a hurry. 😀

[@RainbowQueen23]

Can't wait for another 100+ episode playlist to help me fall asleep to let's go! :D

[@User5770]

Its rare to get both the hero we need and the hero we deserve, but Brock Rockhard is the complete package.

[@Caprineki]

I'm so happy to see this video I'm literally tearing up. Inquisition was one of my favorite games of all time and I fell in love with it watching Jesse's playthrough. I can't wait to watch this one! ❤❤❤❤

[@sojinnn]

The return... of Nic Mage 🧙‍♂️

[@boo5860]

Despite everything i love this game

[@thelaughingrouge]

The ballad of Dropkick Jesse starts now.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Regardless of the divisive reception, I hope you enjoy the game.

[@ayanleman]

Is it even divisive? On the steam reviews where you have to actually *buy* the game the reception is generally pretty positive

[@Ashurman666]

@@ayanleman It's very divisive, yeah. Thing is, the people against the game aren't going to buy it so you won't see their reviews on Steam

[@ayanleman]

​@@Ashurman666 ah i was thinking of reception in terms of "played the game, didn't like it" not "didn't even want to play it"

[@austin.....]

@@ayanleman Hi I am one of those people he's referring to. Former dragon age supernerd, turned off by the direction so I didn't purchase. However, I'm a lifelong Jesse fan and these games are *perfect* for him, so I plan on having a blast with this LP.

[@kevinlist3330]

​@ayanleman it's not for everyone but like Jesse I'm a fan of Dragon Age gave it a shot regardless of the opinions online because I go off my eyes and ears and actual consumers like steam reviews. I'm loving it its fun action game, the rpg takes a back seat but I can live with that, but personally people complaining about the writing need to replay the older games because they have som3 cringe moments. Art style could be another that turn people off but it's just a new coat of paint.

[@RPGgems]

I made the same mistake when creating my female Inquisitor 😂

[@DarthFurball]

YES!! Physics ram is back

[@AbadonXXX]

Long live nic mage!

[@IcyDragonPolaris]

In which Jesse almost gets catfished by a character creation menu

[@ckn3481]

Time for the flying kicking dwarf!

[@Theguyoverthere603]

Lmao the dwarf run animation looks so fast compared to the Qunari ones.

[@omnighast2054]

jesse went with the farquaad hair lol

[@DrAustinSauce]

I just wanna know what my brain-to-mouth-to-character thing is, y'know?" I feel that, Jesse. Both in Dragon Age and in real life sometimes 😅

[@bazsato6323]

Thanks jessie, half of the first episode is charater creation 😂😂😂😂 love it cant wait for more ❤

[@Gotenks0002]

So....Jesse x Alex fusion? 😮

[@Incompetent_Hero]

Dragon Kick: the Heelguard

[@doogiehowser8187]

You need to turn the sound effects and music up a little higher, Jesse. I think i could almost hear the characters talk for a moment there during the stabbing scene.

[@caioyuri1735]

just smooch neve

[@BuckyDK]

Gameplay starts at 51:20

[@karmsander]

I was definitely not going to play this game, but watching JC play this? Fck yeah!

[@DemonFireRain]

this game has a lot going against it for me personally, but combat looks fun dammit. Might wait for a sale.

[@CottidaeSEA]

A colleague of mine said the conversations were painful so he just resorted to skipping through everything, but he really enjoys the combat in it. So it's probably good enough for that. A sale purchase seems reasonable. It is supposedly a bit dumbed down compared to Origins in some regards.

[@magikonkuiz]

@@CottidaeSEA I really can't find a reason to play this if the writing and conversations are bad. That's very sad to hear.

[@AztecUnshaven]

​@@CottidaeSEAPeople seem to forget though that EVERY Dragon Age game is dumbed down compared to Origins. Origins was incredible and a true love letter to Baldur's Gate 2.

[@nightfrost1891]

@@CottidaeSEA dude how would he know all the convos are painful if he doesn't listen to all of them? of course there can be some cringe dialogue, dragon age has always had that nothing drastically different alistari talks about swooping, saying he'll name his child 'the grumpy one' after mage, sten goes on about cookies, 'poopie' is literally a term used in da2, sera in general is kind of cringe like let's not re-write history it's always had serious and not so serious moments some of the stuff is really great, solas' stuff esp. bellara seems a bit of a certain cringe archetype at first but i did her first quest and now she's my favorite character and it hit HARD most people are just not giving it a change and that tracks if the person thought some was so decided to skip it all in a ROLEPLAYING game

[@CottidaeSEA]

@nightfrost1891 Reading comprehension is not your thing? I said he tried listening to the conversations before giving up on them.

[@snelhestarna]

Pausing at 9:08, Yeah i mean you don't want to have your character ending up like that npc in Cyberpunk 2077...

[@IceNInja42]

Dwarf Warrior gang

[@coryj_vt]

Anyone else getting a Davis vibe from his characters face?

[@drakhoon]

Judging from how many decisions and world settings you can import form inquisition into veilguard, apparently none/incredibly little. I feel this sets a precedent for Mass Effect 5 that will make the first mass effect trilogy and andromeda truly make players feel like the games were pointless ^.^

[@Ashurman666]

Oh god it's here...Been playing this myself, playing as a mage and I have to say, the gameplay and certain companions are the only things that have kept me going. The main plot is ridiculously stupid, the villains are not interesting, most companions are boring and dull at best, all the changes to the lore are baffling and make no sense to me. I will say that playing a melee mage is pretty fun though Also it wasn't just you Jesse, a lot of youtubers and influencers didn't get codes for the game. Man, I still can't get over how they destroyed Varric, he looks so ugly now. Solas is the only returning character that looks ok.

[@Fanthomas1742]

[@calcifermoonblood3341]

BUT DWARVES CANT GO INTO THE FADE!!! THEY DONT DREAM!

[@Ashurman666]

That's...not exactly true. They can't enter the fade the conventional way, AKA via dreams. But no one ever said they couldn't enter it through a portal or in this case an Eluvian

[@Deuzen_FIN]

Dwarf Warden could end up in the Fade in Origins, and Varric in both DA2 and Inquisition. The only difference is that they don't have a NATURAL connection to the Fade and thus don't dream.

[@nightfrost1891]

they can go there physically it happen in inquisition, just not dreaming

[@the.vampire.cosplayer]

Just what I need today ♡ just Jessie making a round drawf with a trap stamp

[@SirKiwiKat]

Bro, Jesse just insulted my hairstyle, wtf?? Still love you tho!

[@zombie0ate0my0brains]

Where is Skyrim?

[@Zeroninja-j5c]

lol Jesse bucks.

[@Seb_Falkor]

Oh man. I know JC is a story > gameplay guy so this is gonna be tons of fun to watch

[@sadbear101]

So, I'm curious: What does everyone think about the smaller group size? I've always liked the banter between the larger groups, like in the Inquisition.

[@joaocreature]

I've found it fine. The maps aren't as big as inquisition so you get more opportunities to run with different squads and hear all their banter.

[@nightfrost1891]

i mean, if you like mass effect it's the same size

[@MaisieSqueak]

Cannot wait to watch your full playthrough of this. I stayed away from live (obviously) but now i'm 15+ hours in I'm READY baby. Edit : And then you spend the entire Character creator trying to put out the impression this game is too "Nice" and not "Male" enough.........

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

we hear what we wanna hear i guess. that's on you.

[@CrypidLore]

I watched you play Inquisition, I'll watch you play this. But it saddens me that I wont be buying the game.

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

What a huge waste of personal money... even though it could possibly be made a business expense and tax write off

[@kevinlist3330]

not a waste if you are here watching the video 🤷‍♂️

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

@kevinlist3330 I'm not

[@kevinlist3330]

​@@whendarknessfalls6969so you this comment doesn't exist you didn't click on the video and you aren't watching to the point where you heard him say he purchased it with his own money 😂 dude give it up you are watching it so regardless of what you thought of the game his purchase got him a viewer 😂

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

you clearly don't know how either business expenses or tax write-offs work.

[@Sniperbear13]

if this had better dialog, i might be more inclined to play it meself, but im happy to just watch someone else play
