Dragon Age The Veilguard Reaction | Trailer & Gameplay

[@SaintMarianne]

So cool to hear there’s a huge Dragon Age fan in the room aha. Some of my favourite games of all time too!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Really hope this one delivers 🤞🏻

[@petrusgoes6108]

Yea after all these years it’s really fun seeing all these “sleeper” dragon age fans kinda wake up and get excited for the veil guard after so long! If you are interested in some lore videos, then GhilDirthalen is your gal, her KZbin videos are super helpful and to the point. If you guys are interested on lore videos that could help you better prepare for The Veilguard, then I reccomend her video on Solas, the elven gods, Mythal, and the Inquistor/Herald of anadraste. Hope it helps!

[@petrusgoes6108]

Also, I’m pretty sure the title of the elven gods is the “evanuris” so if you can’t find a video titled the elven gods, then search up the Evanuris

[@petrusgoes6108]

Thirdly, I would also add lore video the Morrigan from Origins just because she’s so badass, if Ken played origins then I have no doubts he liked her :)

[@BlackBurrito9073]

I would also recommend the videos of the channel Lore University, although his Dragon Age videos are much more extensive and broad when it comes to the lore. Still…. Very much worth to check out.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks so much for the channel recommendation 😀

[@WynneL]

Important Goose is also very good, and I like The Kingdom but his pronunciations are off.

[@BloodsireArchitectGM]

hear me out, Replay the games but with Bethany making the story choices since she has not played a Dragon Age game before, would take awhile to get through but ide watch that.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

That might be the way to go! Plus I’ve never played the dlc. I played these games where GameStop had a policy of taking returns within 7 days so I’d play a game, beat it and return it 😂

[@BloodsireArchitectGM]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames literally me as well xD, Ive played the games years ago and had no dlc but only about a year ish ago replayed them with the dlc. had alot of fun with em. Hope you both do too!

[@kylenirs3181]

There are so many people, mostly origin fans, hated on this game but I just want to let you know that I, as a inquisition fan, very excited for the game da games, and with all the information, I very much like it so far. It’s been 6-7 years for me of waiting.

[@chocopuddingcup83]

I'm excited, too! Too many people on the hate train, nowadays. They can never be satisfied.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Inquisition wasn’t my favorite but I still enjoyed it. Some aspects of this don’t love but still want to play it 😅🙂

[@ringofbrass]

You should def replay Inquisition (and trespasser dlc) before this one comes out so she can be up to date!(and romance Solas, the 'villain' in the trailer. its not only a great story it gives you a lot of context for him. but then also react to the version of scenes with very low approval/friendship with Solas. there is a bonus version of a trespasser scene if you have low approval + punched him in the main game, its hilarious!) Love that egg(solas, bald head nerd) he is extremely nuanced! i think she will really enjoy his story if yall dove into it. Love the positivity, yall are always great to tune into with for a reaction. :) (i tried to be spoiler light since one of yall has not played them, bonus of Solas romance is that it is a 'chaste' romance so you won't have to edit/censor naughty scenes.)

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Never played the dlc of any of the games. So that would be first time for both of us 🙂

[@ringofbrass]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the dlc for inquisition are all good but Trespasser is extremely important and more of an epilogue/bonus ending.

[@flatstheflounder338]

Ahhh DA:O enthusiast, a fellow Grey Warden, I see! ⚔️🍻

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😜

[@WC-PO]

Oooh, this is such a unique opportunity to have a Dragon Age first-timer do a blind playthrough of the games! I'd give an arm and a leg to be able to play Dragon Age for the first time all over again. Especially without having to wait 2-10 years between games!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah Bethany playing for the first time would give me an excuse to replay it 🙂

[@WC-PO]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If she does play them, make sure she doesn't play a mage in DA2 so she can have Bethany in the party! Bethany > Carver anyway.

Welcome to the community! 🥳🥳🤗

[@anthonyworstell3768]

Once we gather up the crew, we’re going after the Dread Wolf!

[@RujinFujin]

You can't control your companions anymore. You can only occasionally use abilities that the companions have. If you have played Mass Effect, the system is like that. Hard to say whether this will be a good change or not.

[@SwobyJ]

While I agree with your sentiment, most would say you 'controlled' (commanded) your companions in Mass Effect, as you could tell them where to move and when to activate chosen abilities. We have yet to see if Veilguard has options to not just move companions, but set them in offensive/defensive/etc states. If that sort of tactical choice still exists, with encounters that encourage it, you're 'only' losing direct instead of indirect control. You still get them to do the things you want them to do, but the focus is clearly shifted to the PC.

[@ultimatedespairgamer6722]

As someone who never controlled companions anyway this is fine lol for me

[@RujinFujin]

@@ultimatedespairgamer6722 thats why my comment is towards the Reactor who did control his party.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the heads up. I like the control and more tactical approach. Sure it took me 5 hours for every battle but it was fun haha. Haven’t played Mass Effect so don’t know how I will like the change 🤔

[@YoungMrBlue]

Honestly I think this change along with the ability slots was because they ran out of button inputs on consoles

[@TheMediaQueer]

I'm so excited. I loved Inquisition so I'm happy to see us continuing on from there like this.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎🤘

[@Vikings__prod]

You guys should react to the Texas chainsaw kills! They are brutal

No 😯

Hello! I want to offer you to watch the trailers for the game Stalker 2. My most anticipated game of this year! Made in Ukraine, and I am also from Ukraine) Peace to you and thank you for reactions. 1) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Come to Me Trailer 2) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Strider Trailer 3) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - The Time of Opportunities Trailer

[@Adanu191]

It looks decent enough for an action RPG. The problem is, DA was never an action RPG game, and they're trying to pull a suikoden 4/fallout 3.

[@InqusitorAdaar]

If you think Dragon Age was never an ARPG then you haven´t played the games at all. Yes DAO has been more strategic but DA2 and DAI have been full on ARPG. They only put in the tactic mode in DAI because of the Origin fanbase

[@Adanu191]

@@InqusitorAdaar I've played the games. DA2 went a bit more aRPG, but it was mainly a tactical party based RPG. If you think otherwise, you were playing it stupidly.

[@dediualex3554]

Hey Guys! The new smt game just released! It’s called shin megami tensei 5 vengeance, it’s by the same creators as persona, maybe some trailer reactions?

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Seconded

[@abbyleemillpurr6883]

Hype!!

[@definitelynotacringelord1719]

Hey there, ve'been watching you for quiet a while. Great video as usual! Also, i've seen a video that lasts almost 2 hours(!!) about lore of Dragon Age world before games, figured it would be awesome if you could react to it one day. Btw it's by Wizards and Wariors channel.

[@LightShadowOnyx]

yeah you can no longer control your companions and the gameplay is less tactical it is more similar to mass effect

[@sofajockeyUK]

The change is unsurprising. The majority of Inquisition players used the tactical camera only occasionally or not at all.

[@neotailz]

I'm kinda bouncing between excitement and disappointment, lol. The first trailer was way too lax and jokey for me, and the visuals looked really cartoony. Gameplay trailer was a lot better, but I'm not happy about the gameplay changes. I found Inquisition's combat to be a welcome departure from the Origins/DA2 combat, despite needing tuning. Veilguard simplifying that even further is a negative in my book. All in all I remain skeptical, but optimistic.

[@jimharrison2513]

I'm a huge Dragon Age fan and when I first saw the reveal trailer my heart dropped. The tone just isn't right. Thankfully the gameplay looks a lot better. I'll just have to see when the game comes out.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

Literally every cinematic trailer in the dragon age franchise has been like this, people don’t like it either for the tone or the music choice but always forget that they are simply a presentation.

[@ArunachalboyYes]

❤ no more 😂

[@MrMeddyman]

A lot of skepticism around this one especially given the behind the scenes development troubles that mean that work on this game was rebooted once or more times AND the fact that overtime the Dragon Age IP has become pretty unrecognizable. I was a huge Origins + Awakening fan and it's been ten years since Inquisition and I just don't know. Though I'd def be down to watch a replay of the series for Bethany's eyes, Origins is an all time classic, DA 2 had some sketchy decisions but excellent art direction and tried to do something fresh by not telling a sweeping epic and instead having you play as a refugee slowly building your legend in a more grounded setting (all the props for that, despite the issues the game had) and Inquisition was a vibe, not my favorite but not bad. Just feel the IP has lost itself overtime is all.

[@michaelrodriguez4135]

Pls more dead by daylight

[@digitalcabbage910]

I may by it on sale but I'm definitely not impressed. Dragon Age:Origins was the best game in the series that has been n a steady decline ever since.

[@haidonhargraves7660]

Decline? Soz but DA:O has aged like milk and even when it came out it was very meh, DA:I is by far the best in the series in my opinion. I've played and beat them all and I'm extremely excited for DA:TV, action RPGs are far superior to tactical RPGs in every way

[@digitalcabbage910]

@haidonhargraves7660 you are definitely in the vast minority with that assessment. At this point Bioware isn't even the same company it was when they made masterpieces like DA:O and the Mass Effect series.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

@@digitalcabbage910well… I’m not gonna say that ARPGs are better than CRPGs or vice versa…. But what I will say is that the Dragon Age series has always gone in the direction of becoming a ARPG. We all love Origins… but we have to accept that it’s gameplay was a transition rather than the “true essence of the Saga” like so many people like to say.

[@sofajockeyUK]

@@digitalcabbage910 There are writers from Origins and Mass Effect working on Veilguard, so continuity remains.

[@Hito343]

This one was hard to watch. From Dragon Age to Disney Age. Probably biggest disappointment of the showcase.

[@SeanSteinke]

The first trailer here had me worried. The gameplay and the news that came out from SGF made me more excited though. And people, that I follow, played it at SGF said it was one of the best demos at SGF.

[@BBS-dl1lt]

Not sure what you’re talking about. Looks like dragon age to me. Looks like a better graphics version of inquisition.

[@ThatDeadGuy234]

I feel like this criticism was also levied around Inquisition's launch as well. I just don't see it.

[@Horymysl]

@@BBS-dl1lt Exactly, people just complain. Maybe they are not really Dragon Age fans, if they are not excited for the new game.

[@ultimatedespairgamer6722]

@@Horymyslto be fair I don’t think that complaints necessarily mean ppl aren’t a fan of a thing, however in dragon ages case I think your right, it seems to be 90% anti woke ppl who’ve never cared about dragon age until they could grift for outrage views, 5% ppl who just want origins again and wouldn’t be happy with anything else, and maybe 5% legit honest criticism

[@pence089]

Well, this has nothing to do with dragon age. They literally took the last remains of this franchise and butchered it before our eyes.

[@jaysalmon3259]

I will wait and see more before saying definitively, (haha) but so far I'm actually pretty unhappy with what I've seen so far. Looks like a fortnight game rather than dragon age. way too cartoony. This looks like a marvel movie with stupid jokes and flashy teamups. Gameplay doesn't look great either, not a fan of the demons new looks... in short I'm really hoping they something up their sleeves we haven't seen yet. I would love to be wrong but so far I am sad panda.

[@niteshadowx2394]

The new dragon age looks like crap
