Dragon Age: The Veilguard (October 31, 2024)

[He Who Posts Well]

Honestly, not a great showing. I’m ready to accept this game just being a solid -8 at this point

All things considered, that's really not a bad rating. I felt that was just okay. I selfishly want this game to be good so they can get the green light to make the next mass effect game.

Soooo apparently only three of your choices from the ENTIRETY OF THE SERIES THUS FAR far will be included in Veilguard

Spoiler

Who your inquisitor romanced
If you disbanded the inquisition or not
If you decided to try to redeem Solas or kill him

I've been very optimistic about this game. Still think I'm going to enjoy it, but I'll admit being deeply disappointed here.

Trying to intertwine all those choices from first 3 games would be impossible narratively. Its a decade later and a completely different location. Story not being bogged down from past games is probably for the best

Solas did nothing wrong

Solas did nothing wrong

The main character of the last game lost an arm because his plans always turn to garbage

My issue is some of those choices are relevant to Veilguard's story. Like, if you want to ignore who rules Ferelden right now or something like that, cool. That's not relevant

but, mannnnn

Spoiler: Spoilers from trailers

weisshaupt gets attacked by an archdemon in veilguard... My Inquisitor banished all the grey wardens of Orlais to Weisshaupt ... what's the point of adding that specific location just to ignore the huge decision we made regarding that location

Morrigan and the Inquisitor both return. ONE of them drank from the well of sorrows. We couldn't get some kind of acknowledgement of that?

Stuff like THAT not making the cut is what disappoints me. Now, the writers have stated that they made the creative decision to focus the story on reactivity to choices made in-game rather than across games. I understand that reasoning...but it does feel like they threw out the baby with the bath water

Can you make yourself king?

Can you make yourself king?

In the first game Origins you can

Unless youve seen the games script it kinda to early to complain about something that can easily be explained later in game

So


In game it’s 19 years after the first game

DA2 takes place over 10 years

DAI to now is 9 years

 

[TaxCollector13459]

In the first game Origins you can

I thought you were forced to make alistar king but you couldn’t make yourself king though?

 

[OneDeep]

I thought you were forced to make alistar king but you couldn’t make yourself king though?

If you have Human noble background
Don’t convince Alistar to be King
And Don’t Kill Logain
You can marry Anora to become King

 

[djthegreat88]

I thought you were forced to make alistar king but you couldn’t make yourself king though?

You have to make Anora the queen and your the king consort

 

[MidniteJay]

Solas did nothing wrong

You say that when he out here fukkin' up worse than Ted Faro? And there's a possibility he's being manipulated. "I had plans.." I don't think buddy really knows what he's doing. You gonna feel that way if you, everything you worked for, your friends and fam gotta go for his plan to work and on a maybe?

He should have killed himself or kept it moving after Corypheus got clapped.
