    All of the characters look like they came straight outta Shrek 2.

      No it doesn’t.

      It’s worse. It looks like a mobile game with fanfiction quality writing.

    BG3 exec-bro played it well with the words.

    truly knows what it wants to be could mean different things depends on how you spin it.

    Am I the only person who saw that dragon fight trailer or something?

    The build up promised a cinematic confrontation of soldiers being thrown around and powerful siege engines to the backdrop of a ruined tower in some rolling hillside. Then it cut to a huge, grey, flat nowhere location where the player and two uninteresting specks of companion characters repeatedly hit it with christmas tree lights until it had a stoke and died.

      Maybe Dragon Age wants to be a game about shooting Christmas lights at bullet Christmas light sponges?

    A lot people are liking it because the people who didn’t during the early preview didn’t receive their early access copies.

      I’ve only seen Skill-Up review but it looks like this guy assumes BioWare is toast and won’t be sending many early copies in the future. I’m confused at who’s the target audience of this game. Is it the League of Legenda crowd? It kinda looks like Arcane now that I think about it. Low hardware requirements also suggest it’s aimed at younger players but I can’t reconcile it with how dorky it is.

        Just guessing, but maybe a 6.4 / 10 customer score. More copies sold than Concord, but not enough to go net positive. It looks polished so I doubt it’ll be overwhelmingly negative, but it just won’t be that interesting to gamers so most will probably just not buy it.

        It’ll probably be review bombed in both directions.

          I’m feeling a mixed reception obviously. Probably more review bombing in the negative direction by the Gamer™ crowd perceiving it as woke.

    Dragon Age want from a RPG to an action game with some light RPG elements. So they want to be shit. Okay got it.

    Do we have to humanize and anthropomorphize everything? We have ship girls. Gun girls. All kinds of girls. Do we really need sentient video games as “waifu’s” and “husbando’s”? Also side note. Is animal crossing a guy? And does he know what he wants? I assume based on the pronoun of “it” that dragon age veilguard is probably nonbinary.

        It’s all insultingly preachy and puerile, apart from taking me right out of the setting. GTA didn’t make me a serial killer, this whiny shit won’t make anyone a decent person.
