Just checking in. I'm about 52 hours in. Not sure where I am in terms of completion. I just got Taash and I hate her/it/them. I'm still having a blast though. The only real gripes I have is the elementary dialogue. It's definitely in the realm of Guardians of the Galaxy type banter and speech. It really annoys me.

I think the characters are really cool though besides Taash. Taash is clearly a character made to pander to a certain demographic. Her personality just sucks to me. Very pugnacious and forced. She a tank though.
Neve and Emmerich are the true standouts character wise.

The maps can be legit stunning. Very pretty game. I just wish the tone matched the seriousness of the story. I remember how on edge and dire Mass Effect 2 and 3 felt with the Reapers. Felt like every move I made or didn't make had consequences. Felt a sense of urgency.

Here we have resurrected gods attacking the world and nikkas is just prancing along cracking jokes like shyts all good. It's a Marvel movie.

Good game though. Bad Dragon Age game.
7/10

Damn 52 hours and just got Taash, how is that possible? I got her at 20ish. I've been actively trying to avoid her, but she had this unexpected convo with Neve in Lucanis' place that had 150% Cringe affect. I literally fukking grimaced.

And speaking of Neve, when's she gonna give up them buns? I'm 30 hours in and all this flirting without going for the kill got my char looking like a simp. And I take her on every mission I can. TF?

But the combat and overall gameplay are perfect to me. I'm loving how I gotta strategize for an area before going in, or switch up my equipment after noticing that mobs are weak to certain elements. I use Tempest for crowd control when there are too many mobs in the battle.

Well for one, I'm playing on nightmare difficulty so every boss battle is taking multiple attempts. And by multiple, I mean atleast 8+ times. Plus, I explore every nook and cranny and feast on sidequests to level up my character. I'm a level 29 now and just started to fly through some of the boss/champion battles. But I still be getting my ass kicked. Glad I was able to find a rune that gives me extra potions cause them 3 wasnt enough.

Gotcha, but hell nah. I'm playing right at the default medium level. Only died once in the 30 hours.

So I’m pretty far in the game now (level 30) and I gotta say…the complaints I’ve seen here and other places about the dialogue seem completely overblown to me. You’d think it would be on the level of Fire Emblem Engage with the discourse that has been going on. If anything, it seems reminiscent to DA2 which I was cool with.

Even the art style, which at first I was not a fan of, has begun to grow on me. Help me out brehs, what am I missing?
