After years and years of coverage, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has sadly fallen woefully short of my expectations. Between the repetitive gameplay and low quality writing, it’s tough for me to love anything the game threw my way after 55 hours with it. It’s always been a war of attrition with this series for me, but I lost against Veilguard.

Between the “They watched Pizar over the weekend” comment and Skill up’s “Every Conversation plays out like HR is in the room” I really don’t want to play this game! DA was dark and mature RPG rated M for sexuality and language… This looks like a whimsical RPG rated E for everyone.
Passion leads to success. Success leads to money. Money leads FOR money. The valuation of these studios has to be suspect at this point… this is what happens when studios sell out, we have seen this time and time again over the years as gamers. Maybe the money guys will finally learn you can’t just buy a brand and expect it to produce art at an industrial scale…. especially when the people who were instrumental to the success of the studio were DRIVEN AWAY!
Shit on me all you want but why can’t we enjoy things for what they are? At every point during this review you go back to say hey this previous dragon age game did this and this game did not do this therefore this new game is not dragon age and therefore it is bad. An example of this is Bellara. You say she’s very Disney like and you don’t think she fits the series because she’s not like Leliana or Morrigan. I have to ask why does she need to be like those characters in order for her to fit the series? Why can’t BioWare just do something new with their characters instead making them more like Morrigan or Leliana? I like you Matty and I respect your opinion but it feels like you and many others are stuck with this idea that in order for this game to be good in needs to be exactly like the previous entries. Maybe if they did make a game exactly like Origins or DA2 they could have avoided all this drama but like you said and like many others have said this isn’t old BioWare. Old BioWare is gone and instead trying to recapture magic from a team that’s long gone they decided to do something new but despite that they’re still being criticized and judged harshly over previous titles that they so clearly did not try to replicate because they are not and never will be old BioWare. So I just have to say I think it’s unfair to review their game based on previous titles that they never worked on instead reviewing their game based on what they made.
I’ll play the game for myself and see how I feel about it, but this is disappointing to hear.
