I was soooo excited for Veilguard. Guess which game I kinda hate? 😅

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Damn.

I want to desperately enjoy The Veilguard and I still plan to buy it. I loved Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age Inquisition growing up.

Too bad only three decisions carry over from the third game...

I will never forget the intense and deep disappointment I felt after playing DA2. I hear Inquisition was better, but the entire series was dead to me from that point forward and I lost faith in direction of the series from that point.

I'm not the "stop having fun" type, but it's a bummer to hear that they never managed to bring it back to the great to the same spot that made the first game so phenomenal.

I know what you mean. I really enjoyed Inquisition, I still play it today. It's not perfect but it's great. Veilguard just feels like a bad cartoon. Example: I'm playing as a Shadow Dragon and everyone keeps explaining to me what the Shadow Dragons do. Ok, yep, read the codex, read my own intro, I got it.

It was originally supposed to be a heavily monetized live service game and they had to pivot really late in development because of backlash during playtesting. A lot of the weirdness you see like that is because they were reworking what basically amounted to a bad mmo. I hear the last few hours of the story are pretty good though.
