Dragon Age: The Veilguard Preview - Bioware Is Back!

[@eurogamer]

Does Dragon Age: The Veilguard look like what you expected? What has surprised you about it? Let me know! I'm obsessed with the character creator already - Zoe

[@chrisbullock6477]

Please tell me either DICE has overhauled FrostBite Engine, or Bioware is using an in house tech or Unreal 4/5?

[@yallqaeda1349]

I had no expectations for this game, given everything that has happened to Bioware since Inquisition and *especially* since that baffling initial trailer. However, as long as it's proper tightly focused and not pixel hunting in the Hinterlands on a horse THAT ISN'T ACTUALLY A SPEED INCREASE, I'm willing to give it a chance.

Anti-Bioware GamersTM have always been unhinged about their games. These are the same reactionaries who bullied Jennifer Hepler, one of the founding writers of DAO (she is most known for developing the dwarves)--the game they purportedly hold sacred--about 14 years ago, causing her to quit. Not surprising post-gamergate they've spread like the social disease they are.

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Dragon Age embracing hack n slash combat was not on my bingo list, this one might actually be worth checking out Want to see if it gonna have as much freeflow combos as stuff like Atlas Fallen or Immortals Fenyx Rising, which had excellent combat for western standards The fact that it didnt chase the overdone souslike/norse god of war gameplay trend already makes it stand out to me who usually only gets japanese games since they are the few devs left that still make good hack n slash combat Still can’t believe a freaking Dragon Age game has the potential to be one of the most fun western action rpgs we gonna get in a while Like it might be this gens Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning based on the stuff I’ve seen so far

[@patrickblah]

I feel like it could be due to their most recent game being Mass effect legendary edition. They received a lot of feedback that andromeda and inquisition wasn’t paced well. Also if you like DA:O try pillars, greed fall, or BG3 they have a similar feel with varied mechanics even if they don’t hit the same boxes

[@HyouVizer]

This is the first video ive seen that shows off dwarf Rook, finally, some dwarven respect. Max glute size is really sad, thats average cake at best. Expected baker's dozen like Dragon's Dogma 2, not cupcakes.

I get the direction they are taking I almost got excited, but then she started talking about the stripping down of the inventory and such...and I'm starting to get worried it's now just been stripped down to an action game.

[@nimz8521]

Well it is basically a mobile game.

[@patrickblah]

Different strokes for different folks, in ME1 I liked the variety of weapons and armors but ME2’s reduced inventory was annoying at first but upon reflection it seemed like it was for the better (I.e less time in inventory management going from a version II to a III gun/armor that felt the same in combat to making each weapon feel unique and different). I like the cosmetic armor option since sometimes stat maxing doesn’t look as good in cutscenes 😅.

I liked the previous games in the series and I'm looking forward to this one. Looks good imo.

[@rateater1857]

IGN said the mage build played great, so it's probably just a preference thing or the way he built it.

[@DavidChong]

Oh that's unfortunate about the mage being the least fun of the classes. They were imo the more interesting choice story-wise in the previous ones.

[@redletterl78]

Just remember this is only one person’s opinion. The mage build might totally work for you and be heaps of fun!

[@zhivik]

@@redletterl78 Yep, I have seen one of the KZbinrs covering this saying exactly the opposite, that mage was their favourite class to play, so I suppose it is subjective, as well as depends on how well (or poorly) you synergise with your companions. This is actually good, various people being able to enjoy very different styles of play, suggesting the game has an actual depth regarding combat.

[@GojiraXR9]

Fextralife said the mage was great.

[@krasmasov6852]

It depends what you're into. This person didn't vibe with mage gameplay, but plenty of others did. All perspectives on it are fair. You have to think about what you personally enjoy in games and see if the mage gameplay would meld well with that. It's all up to you

[@nooneeey]

It’s just a personal opinion. In two other reviews people said mage was the most fun class for them

[@brookeboyd7095]

I have been scared to admit I am excited for this game as there’s been a lot of negativity around it. I’ve never really liked the combat systems in any of the DA games. I’ve just played them for the story and characters. So it’s nice to see a video where someone else is excited for it. I’m hoping mage feels better to play. In DA:I for me it felt like the mage build was underpowered compared to the other enemy mages and other DA games. I didn’t like that barriers decayed naturally and no healing spell. I did only one mage play through and the rest were warrior focused.

[@alexey635able]

If you tolerate gameplay in rpgs for story and characters, you are insane and need to get a therapy

[@deanospimoniful]

Zoe says, "Mass Effect 2" and suddenly, I'm interested in a game from a series I've never really gotten into.

[@callumdrew]

Take it with a pinch of salt, games pundits tend to be hyperbolic and bioware have had a very mediocre streak of games since ME3. The team at bioware haven't had any radical restructuring and are still under EA's thumb so there's really nothing to indicate there gonna drop a banger. People really need to temper there expectations with this one.

[@KaraKRoom]

Totally worth getting into tbh, just as well written as Mass Effect imo Mass effect has better gameplay overall though so I'm defo looking forward to Veilguard

[@TheRadioSquare]

They don't say it's as good as mass effect, they say it's as streamlined as mass effect.

[@Rikard_A]

Mass Effect lost the plot with the second game. Visually and mechanically it's better except the games internal consitences with weapons.

[@matthieuwilliams7043]

Yeah. ME2 was great. I recommend playing through only the story of ME1 first so as not to ruin anything for yourself and understanding the stakes the series presents to the player. It’s an incredibly underrated game, but ME2 is the best is the game of the series. ME1 = the best story ME2 = the best game ME3 = the best combat (warning: temper expectations on the ending and you should be fine)

[@MetalGamer666]

I see the design team are fans of Saints Row: The Third, with its purple neon lights all over the menus and UI. I feel like it fit better with a game like Saints Row: The Third, personally, and not so much with a fantasy game, but... hey!

[@redrave404]

If I'm being very generous to the creators; the Tervinter Imperium (the setting of this game) is heavily based on the Byzantine Empire, and purple was considered the most valuable color (due to the difficulty in producing the dye), so was used almost exclusively for imperial regalia and symbols.

[@MetalGamer666]

@@redrave404 I still prefer to have menus that have design cues that match the type of game more. Like in the old Baldur's Gate games you had menus with materials like stone and wood, because it was a medieval-like world. Neon purple fits more with a cyberpunk setting or something, I think.

[@banjomir519]

All the flash, all the glow, purple everywhere, immortal companions, companions that do no damage and are just there to babysit. This on top of a bunch of other criticisms, I dunno about this one. From what I've seen the companions do useless damage when they are fighting on their own, they are simply there because of previous games and to "assist" Rook with the pause interface. There's are reasons you cannot control them, they are weak and invincible.

DAO had it right the first time the story was solid, its world was immersive, its characters were memorable, the atmosphere was great, a modern successor to games like Baldurs Gate and a beloved classic that will go down as one of the greatest rpgs of all time, unlike its sequels .

[@nightcatarts]

No, it's true. The first game was great & very well received, but then they started listening to trends & focus grouping and those people said turn-based tactical stuff would not sell (that's the actual lie), so they made it increasingly actiony.

How can you say 'Dragon Age is back' when The Veilguard completely changes the tone, visual style, and gameplay? This isn't bringing back what fans loved-it's a reimagining. If you enjoy it, that's fair, but don't pretend it's the same experience as before. It's misleading to claim something is 'back' when it hardly resembles what made it iconic in the first place Changing the combat from a tactical, party-based system (like Baldur's Gate 2 in Origins) to something closer to God of War or Trials of Mana is a complete shift. The high fantasy visuals-with their polished, colorful look, and lack of blood, grit, or dark fantasy elements-don't feel true to what Dragon Age was. Even the Qunari look like pretty boys now! Plus, removing party control and focusing on a single character is another blow to the series' identity. How can Dragon Age be 'back' when it seems like a totally different game?

[@MetalGamer666]

It would be more appropriate to say something like: "Dragon Age is the new God of War"

[@gabrigamer00skyrim]

Totally different game compared to what? DA 1, 2 or inquisition? Because they're all bloody different from each other. The series always had an identity crisis, your comment makes no sense at all

[@TheRadioSquare]

​@@gabrigamer00skyrimIdentity crisis is when a CRPG game iterates on gameplay but stays a CRPG. Confidence is when said CRPG abandons everything it was known for to be a mid action game.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

@@gabrigamer00skyrim I get where you're coming from, but the first game in the series, Dragon Age: Origins, is widely considered the gold standard for Dragon Age by both critics and fans, and it established the core lore, tone, and gameplay that defined the franchise. Origins fans are still the majority among the Dragon Age fanbase, and its tactical, party-based combat and dark fantasy world are what many people fell in love with. We also know this fanbase is large because of the support behind Baldur's Gate 3 as well. While Inquisition has its fans, it was a polarizing entry that already started to move away from what made Origins special, which is why it had a mixed reception among longtime fans. What frustrates me about The Veilguard is that it's moving even further away from the consistent identity that Origins and DA2 had. It's not just another evolution like Inquisition-it's a complete departure in terms of gameplay, visual style, and tone. The user scores on Metacritic make it pretty clear too-Origins is not just the highest-rated by critics but also by the player base. If you're going to build a new Dragon Age, it makes sense to listen to that feedback. Inquisition may have been praised by critics, but the user score is much lower, showing that long-time fans didn’t connect with it as much. Origins's 8.4 user score compared to Inquisition’s 6.1 really shows where the majority of the fanbase stands. So when I say it doesn't feel like Dragon Age is 'back,' I'm talking about it straying from the foundation that made the series iconic. Changing the core gameplay and aesthetic that defined the first game doesn’t feel like a continuation of the franchise.

[@kiwimjm3881]

So then don’t play it? That is literally an option.

of course everyone likes so it must of been payed for

[@ervus3289]

then dont watch reviews if you dont trust them.

The core combat looks fun, even if this is no longer a traditional cRPG. I'm still not a fan of all that cheerful art design.

"It doesn't even feel like an RPG anymore!" Swen Vincke likes this.

No, Bioware is NOT back. As a huge Dragon Age fan, I don't know what the heII this game is, but it is NOT Dragon Age. The character creator is an absolutely JOKE! The game play looks silly and uninteresting. I have no doubt the story is going to be just as awful. This game is a HARD PASS for me.

[@krasmasov6852]

Only a true bot could say that the character creator is a joke

[@ABQSentinel]

@@krasmasov6852 This coming from an account with a generic name, that is only a couple of years old, and has nothing in the way of content. Nice try. Go back to your echo chamber--it's filled with bots and people with serious mental disorders. You fit in perfectly.

[@MA-sr5vv]

Some challenges left distribution of potions and spirit healers, mages with just three spells mages are like bag of tricks but in this mainly fighting like an agile rogue, how often character has to do evading and parrying fighting like a bat man seems tedious in this very long story either way I would think writing might save this like usual

[@Scarygomez]

This games going to be a flop. I wish it want but it will be.

[@Abimin100]

that's wishful thinking.

[@stefan9inter]

Not feeling like rpg is an absolute horrific regression. no one should be happy for this...

[@DennisKent]

It kind of sounds like you're in denial and trying to convince yourself the game has improved upon past systems by saying mechanics have been "streamlined" when actually it takes away a ton of freedom. With the game already looking incredibly linear with no open areas to explore, the last thing they should have done is dumb down the loot system. Having various outfits with different looks and effects to switch between whenever we want is a huge part of the fun in RPGs. Don't take away my inventory "clutter". It's precious :/

[@Andrew-it7fb]

The gameplay looks like a mobile game.

[@Abimin100]

what mobile game looks like that?, I'm in need of one rn

[@krasmasov6852]

What mobile games are you playing?

[@Andrew-it7fb]

I don't remember the names of every crappy mobile game I've ever played.

[@ferrykeizer4911]

What kinda mobile phone you got that could run this? A tiny spaceship?

[@definitelynotadam]

Darkspawn look weak, especially their faces look comical. They are supposed to be frightening and brutal looking. Similar applies to Qunari, their faces look too human and too smooth.

[@iamcsxii4043]

How do the darkspawn look “comical”? Have you seen their OG designs in DaO? 💀 sounds like you just finding reasons to hate my guy

Back to what? making trash games?

[@fs5866]

This will be the death of Bioware, studio will be disbanded after this release, their last 2 releases were massive flops and this one will be their biggest flop yet, if EA can do one good thing in their miserable existance is pull the plug out of this abominable studio that's on life support.

[@terrywelsh6144]

Do not sit there and tell me that this new dragon age it's just like Mass effect 2 Gwen insulting me that's pathetic you might as well call it what it is it's another BioWare flop

EDIT: wow, ca't express anything other than hype and praise can you without petty, childish passive aggressive replies, uh? the internet never changes. Y'all if you like it fine, but don't try to defend it or attack me, for not being as hyped as you. yeesh I hate the art style, I hate the neon pink and greens, I hate that I can smell the Solas stuff will be sidelined, I don't like the look of the party members or how try-hard cool they are, I don't like the UI/HUD, battle system looks weak, party members seem pointless, the list goes on... I'll pass. Dragon Age Inq was disapointment enough, tbh. Its like, there's so much love for the series but its riddled with issues and no game is ever that great. Its like we fall in love with the idea of these games, but the games themselves have no end of gripes.

I'm there with you, it sucks people still get suckered in by the flash and manufactured hype. Current Bioware has deffo not earned this level of trust, lotta fools gonna be disappointed when it's just the same rote shit with GOW lite combat.

Bioware died a long time ago. Most of the original devs are gone. Veilguard looks like Fortnite clone with stupid millenial dialogues, combat is laughably worse without any blood, even romances are stupidly nonbinary. Baldurs Gate 3 is more Dragon Age, than Veilguard is.
