[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

lmao like the old cartoon villains

[@Tlevids]

Kind of wild that the studio that brought us the likes of Loghain and the Arishok wrote such generic, bland antagonists for this game. The elven gods were supposed to be incredible beings, powerful enough and intelligent enough to rule over a society comprised entirely of powerful mages. But here they are foolish cartoon antagonists, just chumps with very typical evil villain motivations. Even Corypheus was a far superior antagonist to them.

[@Muircetach]

They weren't exactly rando dudes, they were pre-Veil mages that reached the full potential of magic, with mages today not even having a fraction of their power. In settings without a true god, they're so magically powerful that they might as well be gods. That's not the same as rando dudes in Europe claiming to be kings.

[@dreamingawaken6059]

Also cannot find anything redeeming in this ending. Still same bad writing, helpless attempting to farm sympathy with this 'they all dead' trope. Also, now killing everyone off they can truly forget all previous stories and do reboot they so wished

DA2 might have shit gameplay and level design, but the writing was solid, choices were accounted for and the characters were memorable. This is just Disney-level bullshit.

[@Monrhoue]

I was thinking about KOA while watching this, this would have better been served as a sequel to that rather than a Dragon Age game. I understand that it’s been a very long time, but it would have been safer to mess with a semi-dead IP rather than drag Dragon Age down with another entry that could disappoint the fans and kill the IP for good. I haven’t played Veilgaurd myself and possibly my opinions may change when I do, but there was a lot missing from this game and they needed to go do their homework before writing for DA again. The vibes from the first game just aren’t here, and it was the same feeling when I first played 2 and Inquisition. Aside from differing engines and art styles, there’s too much that they leave unspoken to switch protagonists each game and swapping out the team is bad for the same reasons. I understand they they didn’t want to tackle something like battling the Dreadwolf right when we return to Thedas, but truly this story and game needed more time

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@Monrhoue Amalur only had the edgy visuals (McFarlane worked on this game... or it was Madureira, I don't remember, but a well know comic book artist was involved) and the combat who was considered pretty solid in the early 2010s. This Dragon Age game only draw attention (for better or worse) because they promised the Bioware gimmicks... gather fancy companions to complete a over the top final mission... or the cheap switcheroo, this character was the villain all along! (KOTOR, Jade Empire and so on). If this was a Amalur sequel or a brand new IP, they would have to create something else besides the braindead (but flashy) action combat and they are clearly inept to go that far. I played DA Origins such a long time ago, I honestly don't remember much of the plot or the world itself, even less so Inquisition that almost forced me into a coma, I dropped this game early... the main appeal for most DA players, people who liked Inquisition, they are curious to see what happened to Solas and so on (by the way, Solas fits the "villain all along" trope). Have no reason to actually play Veilguard other than morbid curiosity, to witness the train wreck firsthand (after all, Jack Sparrow makes it free of charge... still, 80gb of SSD space on this thing, well...)

[@Monrhoue]

​@@RRRRRRRRR33 Todd Mcfarlane worked on Amalur, and I'm forever thankful for it because that game is absolutely beautiful. Joe Madureira worked in the first two entries of the Darksiders franchise, (if you ever played, that might be where the confusion comes from) and I do agree with them having to change the tropes in order to fir the criteria for another game set in the Amalur universe. This game just feels off to me and I can't place it just yet, but there's something other than the obvious missing

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@Monrhoue Madureira worked on Darksiders, yep. The aesthetics was one of the major selling points for both Amalur and Darksiders. This Dragon Age game really feels weird... if you play a rpg to turn your brain off (like I've seen some reactions, maybe people trying to justify their dumb purchase), kinda feels contradictory, the genre demands decent writing, it can be a simple and nostalgic game like Dragon Quest or a complex crpg like Baldur's Gate, regardless, you are going to play 50 hours or so, braindead combat alone is enough to get you hooked all this time? Have to endure horrendous "zoomer" characters trying to save the world from generic twirling mustache villains... I guess there's a audience for this kind of lowly entertainment out there, just not for me, I'm too old and grumpy for this kind of stuff
