What difficulty are you playing on? they seem so spongey

[@Holy_Crusad3r]

It’s great to see someone positive on the game and enjoying it for its gameplay. There’s been so much negativity in anything gaming lately that channels like these are a breath of fresh air. Also very nice Qunari, I didn’t like the more humanoid route they went with them being I liked the more Tauren look of the previous ones, but your character made a good impression. 🙂👍🏻

[@iamBrandonTV]

@@Holy_Crusad3r thank you!

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

So Shill channels are better? You really think channels like this would be honest if they genuinely didn't like it and risk losing early access etc?

[@Holy_Crusad3r]

@@BerryNiceToMeetYou Eh. 🤷🏻‍♂️I’m just like everyone else here and enjoying gameplay of a game I’m interested in.

[@lilpimpez]

i love that you enjoy just playing the game and not so uptight about ever single little thing like learn, play and enjoy what you have no game is going to be the same as the other which i think is the point of any game a new experiences not the same old same old.

[@CondemnedInformer]

Well, I hope you like this one causes it might be the last.

[@KayJ2012]

The one thing no one talks about in Mass effect Andromeda is that the gameplay is fantastic! Phenomenal non linear action gameplay, that's also what this game is giving. Bioware as a company has never failed me and they've definitely stepped up their game in recent gaming history. So excited!! 😁😁

[@virginiamurr3703]

Yep. Story mode for me. 🤣 It was great to watch your playthrough of this section. Thank you!

[@iamBrandonTV]

Thank you for watching!

[@catygir2957]

I love how they narrate as you go,it helps to understand what is the goal.You did some serious battling at each point of contact.That spear gives serious magic strength when you wield it.The plots are well worth the storyline and those accents are fire! Appreciate the share of this clip,cant wait to see you playing more of this game.Great job!🎯🔥🧨❤️

[@Grimjr7]

I would like to say this because a lot of people seem to have this misconception about the abilities and the amount of them that you have. You have three ability slots plus a Rune slot that can have three runes attached to it. I don't know how you do it in real time I don't even know if you can, but if you press the tactical button you can switch which of the three rooms that you want to activate in that menu effectively making that one rune ability slot three abilities. That's six abilities you have access to not including your heavy attack ability and your ultimate which is eight. And just so you guys know, eight ability slots is the maximum ability slot number for all the other dragon age games. That being said, on your skill tree you have these things called traits which act like abilities but they don't go into your ability slots. You activate them by doing button combinations, the trait itself tells you what they are. For example, the mage has an ability. I think it's called mind blast. You activate it by holding your bubble shield button and then pressing the heavy attack button which causes the bubble shield to explode knocking back enemies. It cost 50 mana to use. That trait is basically another ability. It just doesn't go on your ability bar and that's how all the traits function as extra abilities that don't use the ability slots. People also aren't realizing the fact that the ability to even make a shield on the fly is an ability in other dragon age games, but it's a basic thing you can do in this one. Like do you have access to multiple abilities like your double Dodge which is called fade. Step is an ability and Inquisition. But it's just your double Dodge input button now. Some people may not like that, but for all the people who are worried about not having access to enough abilities you definitely do. You actually have access to more abilities that you would have in any other dragon age game.

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

Illario is so obviously sketchy that I wonder if he's a total red herring.

[@1Ksheffi]

Ah hell, this is pretty much everything I would want in a fantasy RPG and I cannot wait to dive in. Thanks for the video Brandon. Subscribed.

[@iamBrandonTV]

@@1Ksheffi thank you!

[@AngelofAmbrosia]

Looking at this combat is making me hope there’s a lock on feature for the enemies. If I play mage the way you, and being pretty much ranged, I’m gonna need that ability to keep the boss on my side while sipping around.

[@ThatFont]

There is a lock on feature :)

[@aneeqrehman2528]

Thanks for this! I just wish we had more abilities and potions in combat. Combat is so hard!!

[@iamBrandonTV]

No problem! I can't wait to see what is there is to unlock. You never know.... 👀

[@ssshhauna]

I'm so excited to play through Lucanis' storyline! He's like a human puss in boots, and his little buddy is such a cool angle

[@sasmth622]

Soooo happy I found your channel! Loving the content!

[@iamBrandonTV]

Thank youuuuuuuu! More is coming!

[@linajonas4757]

First off, it’s good to see and hear your honest positivity, to see this excitement from someone who actually got the chance to experience the game. The mage combat does look fun, but I’m also really curious for the rogue archer class (which I almost always pick 😂) I admit I did skip forward a bit here and there to avoid seeing too much of the dialogue (looking forward to experiencing that when the game comes out SO much ❤) but I just love the look of the lighthouse. Can’t wait to explore that place and all the other beautiful areas when diving into the story. Thanks for the sneak peek, and would love to see more (even if I might sometimes just peek through my fingers 😅) Have a great day!

[@Vrkator]

Illario sounds really slimey :D It reminds me of Zevran before he catched some feeling for warden :D

[@banjomir519]

What difficulty did you play on, @iamBrandon?

[@LadyRav3nGaming]

I can't watch this as I'm trying to stay away from anything that might be spoilery but I want to send my support to you! We fellow DATV content creators need more support now than ever, especially with all the negativity surrounding this game. I do love your excitement though, It truly brings me joy to know I'm not alone. 😊

[@Ariescz]

Question, if you can or are allowed to answer it - can companions get KO'd in combat? Like in Mass Effect? Or are they immortal? I thought i saw them flashing red in this segment, which i assume was health warning, but they did not go down.

[@iamBrandonTV]

That is a good question. I don't believe I experienced anyone getting completely KO-ed. But if someone else knows, I'll let them answer!

[@karandullet380]

Man the game looks good i just wish the lack of world state option stuff is just developers way of keeping people off their back for spoilers and if its true then maybe we'll have option in dialouge to choose what past the returning chatatchers had

[@hloupy]

Is it just me or does illario dellamorte have the same voice actor as Zevran from origins?

[@AulisVaara]

The devs don't even know who Zevran is, so doubtful. Probably just someone who sounds like him.

[@hloupy]

@AulisVaara truee I kinda listened more and was like ehh maybe not

​@@AulisVaarait wasn't the devs, it was an interviewer and Voice Actress Ashley Barlow. Do your research.

@@CondemnedInformer lol. “The main character talks to much” okay 🤣😂

[@CondemnedInformer]

@@iamBrandonTV I'm just saying, they are talking without saying anything. And seem to be talking about everything. We took a step, talk, we turned a corner, talk. Think about what I said and look back over it. It's millennial writing. Pointless.

[@iamBrandonTV]

@@CondemnedInformer I guess you like your characters to sit in silence. To each their own 🧍🏽‍♂️

[@CondemnedInformer]

@@iamBrandonTV Not complete silence. When you have a look at what your character was 'saying' in Origins, they were just filled with info, you companions or other NPCs would fill the void.

27:38 hand texture is super bad

[@banjomir519]

Yes, I noticed that too. Hand textures for everyone looks really terrible. It seems like one of the most tricky things to get looking good in games. Hands always look wrong, but this is REALLY bad.

[@iamBrandonTV]

It was literally a demo being played here RELAX!

[@iamBrandonTV]

@@banjomir519 Cool story bro, this is a demo of the game AS i said in my previous video. This is not the final version of the game.

[@alainakiele108]

@@iamBrandonTV I am calm I’m going to buy the game and play the hell out of it but you have to admit that was pretty bad

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

It's out of focus to mimic a real camera lens. If you want to see actual bad hand textures check out DA2 (I love that game but lordy)

[@cjcarn5509]

Life bars are bigger than the creatures you are attacking, it's looks like you are attacking the life bar more than the creature. Too much UI nonsense. Another show of how it's designed by people that don't play RPG. also looks like friendlyfire is not a thing, because you melted Lucanis with that special lazer beam. The entire UI, better have a size adjuster because it's taking up more the screen than the GAME, ok it's not but seriously how big do you need a UI to be and how much Clutter is enough. The spell wheel, doesn't even need most of what it's showing. And it's again another oversized UI component. GOD, Devs who signed off or designed this are truly blind & deaf How did you not die, you had no life, and somehow recovered without a potion. That demon summon was far to quick it was basically instant & why would he not be attacking you while the demon is attacking. & what is the point of summoning or manifesting clones that get one shot and they die. So much is wrong with this game

[@ConnorLonergan]

On the not dying Veilguard has a no death mode so that was in all likelyhood turned on and the UI features and such are customizable but the demo particapents didn't have the time or ability to go through those for thier sakes

[@sonnenblumefrau2048]

You can turn off UI hun.

[@beaucole446]

every single dragon age doesn't have friendly fire by default... most of the UI is customizable. Also this was a playtest demo. Chill wait for the game to actually come out and reviews are made.

[@cjcarn5509]

@@beaucole446 Tell me you have not played Dragon Age Origins without telling me. Wait, for what? Disappointment to be a matter of fact that I can point to, I think I can already see that without the game release date considering how much damage control they have been doing. & all the lying shills repeating the same lines, & their focus is on the most basic or mindless zealot stuff mental diarrhea crap they stew in. They only thing they had going for them was story and it's looks like they fucked up too. Superficial people can only make superficial products. It's why the world does not hire liars & people that have no spine & low intellect in serious professions. Because if you fuck up people die. But oh gaming industry now does, is like Hollywood, too much bloated fat. They have enough padding for deep dropoffs, but that's getting old fast. anyway, I'm bored of this pointless point in time, trying to open a person eyes to more than their own lies to feed themselves comfort food. Enjoy your spiral

[@cjcarn5509]

@@ConnorLonergan What's the point of playing if there is no challenge? People really suck at life, if you can't even challenge yourself in a game , just go for walk and don't come back. What do you mean not enough time, how much time does it take to change a button in a menu? Why would it even be the default? That's even worse. Quitters before they even started. Why would a person choose to be a game tester or reviewer if they can't even take a death? So many question I'll expect can't be answered? not that I care to hear the excuses they come up with. There are always people looking for the easy wheelchair lane of cope, just to keep those training wheels on like they trying to get back to the place were they where sucking on their mothers tit or to some vision of some degenerate fantasy they live in. anyway, thanks for your insight it did explain why the player didn't croak, even if it still looks & plays like a pathetically weak poorly aged retarded duck with one leg and one wing. Carry on... Keep the challenge alive, strive for excellence not mediocrity

[@banjomir519]

I love this game, but it has to be said, that Qunari Antaam designs are just TERRIBLE! Seriously, BioWare, WTF!

[@banjomir519]

@MaiitsohZ What, you didn't understand my sentence? Sorry, can't help you with that.

[@Thoridin58]

For those that play on PC I am sure the modding community will find a way to fix that and more. I use a mod on Origins that makes Sten look like a Qunari from 2/3 and another for his armor.

[@beaucole446]

Its honestly not that bad but keep in mind that all of the people who played only 30min to customize their characters. IDK about you but it takes at least 2 hours to make a halfway decent qunari in DAI (without mods) and this one still looks better than most of them. Also you are not Antaam you are Tal-Vashoth.

[@Reimateri]

It seems to me a mistake that the Inquisitor is not the protagonist. It was the Inquisitor who had to exterminate the damn Fen'Harel. "Rook" seems to me such a... generic name 😫, but… I hope the story is worth it and I can travel all over Tevinter.

[@sofajockeyUK]

Each game has a new protagonist, but it's good to see the Inquisitor back.

[@OccultEclipse]

People also said “Hawke” and the “Inquisitor” sound generic, and that it would be a mistake not to continue with the warden/Hawke, yet they were clearly proven wrong.

[@Reimateri]

@@OccultEclipse Well, that's what I say, I hope the game is good and the DA saga is still active.

[@Thoridin58]

Remember that when the Inquisitor returned to the Grand Conclave they said that their adventuring days were over. That set up the introduction of a new protagonist.

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

I love all my DA protagonists but I do not want any of them to turn into Shepard. New DA, new hero ftw.
