Dragon Age: The Veilguard (October 31, 2024)

[MidniteJay]

I just need them to honor these from DAI:

-Empress Celene and Briala reconiled
-Sided w/ Mages and Free'd them (?)
-Iron Bull alive and loyal (?)
-Morrigan drank from the Well
-Leliana (softened!) as Divine
-Inquisitor romanced Cassandra
-Cullen off that lyrium crack
-Hawke survived fade/Stroud in the bushes (?)
-Didn't help southern Wardens rebuild (?)
-Spread the truth about Ameridan (?)
-Inquisition disbanded

Damn 2 out of 11. First news where I felt like they shytted on me.

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

huh, damn.

A reference or a cameo is not going to kill anybody

You have Morrigan in this game but no reference to Kieran or the Well of Sorrows? Asinine

Again... a reference or a cameo is not going to kill anybody. If they didn't waste the first years trying to make Dreadwolf some type of live service mmo bullshyt money printer they wouldn't have had to make so many drastic changes to a tried and true formula cutting corners

That’s what Dragon Age Keep was for

It kept track of everybody’s World States all they had to do was incorporate that & build around it

 

[Killer Instinct]

I've played all three DA's up to this point and don't remember a damn thing about the story. Like, I'n reading posts in here lamenting past decisions & hopeful cameos confused as hell. I just remember my breh knocking down Morrigan who was a witch and potentially creating some sort of God baby. I think I recall a preview stating that there was something unique Bioware does with the opening as it pertains to the previous games, so I'm sure some things can be followed up on.

yeah and that's why i said two decades. ME is only between 2007 and 2012 for 1-3.

There's so much DA will be from 2009 - 2024. I don't think people even realize how much content and work goes into certain dropped/unsalvageable narrative threads that get a 'cameo'.

Like DA got so complicated, that Leliana can technically be a spirit the same as Cole because players could've killed her back in DA:O lol. Like if you peel the layers back, you're looking a potential demon as Divine.

Some hard resets are gonna have to happen when each game is its own branching path, but not even the best writers in fiction can stay aligned over 10+ years. Things like Meta Gear Solid are straight nonsense and folks will straight up tell you its part of the charm lol

true, thats why dedicated dlc runs/consistent updates is important if the branching route is what you take imo
you can add what you remember as you go lol.
Might as well, since it takes so long between games
