I know that "access journalism" has been a popular topic of discussion lately, so I just want to share the way I view this. Sharing my honest thoughts on games is the most important thing to myself & my brand, much more important than getting special access to games & info. The way I feel is that if I want to be invited somewhere or get reviews codes etc, being known as someone who gives honest RESPECTFUL criticism should NOT prevent that from happening. If a studio can't handle that or is scared of that, then I'd say there's probably bigger issues going on with the studio & their games, and I'm fine with being excluded from that stuff. I don't cover games I am not interested in anyways. Deeper look @ the character creator - kzitem.info/news/bejne/joiNraathp55oqA

I have a theory on the art style - the environments were done when it was originally a single player at the start - then when it moved it to a live service the characters/ battle mechanics etc were designed but when Anthem flopped they panicked and just mish massed them together as they didn’t have time to remake them

This game has had so much directorial and leadership switching that I would be inclinded to think Corinne Busche might have just pulled this game together for better or for worse. She was not part of Bioware until 2019 or 2020, when undoubtedly much of the game was already done. As some staff who left Bioware said, shit rolls downhill, so it might have just been all those people who came and went that made all these divisive parts and then Corinne came and had to do something to have a game in the end. But I am sure an investigation will come out at some point. This game spent a lot of time switching sides and probably changing mechanics that there was just not worth changing everything a second or third time to please everyone.

When origins came out, one of the largest critiques was that their art design was very bland and derivative of LOTR. Darkspawn were referred to as “just orcs again” for years. It’s why there was such a massive change in DA2. I personally liked DAO’s art style, but it is obvious, as is the trend with BioWare, they tend to take criticism to heart and over correct to the detriment of their future games.

Personally I like that they are making the darkspawns less gory and grotesque. I can't take much horror and husks are what's preventing me from enjoying the mass effect games sadly for all these years. I know many people play DA for its epic storyline and good romance, and would prefer that horror elements be more restrained. This opinion is unpopular but I guess perhaps a lot of fans of this series think the same without voicing it out in the public, which may explain the art direction the devs are taking.

It's literally lore breaking. One of the most basic components of DA lore since the beginning was that mages are feared/hated because their connection to the fade gives them access to magic and makes them vulnerable to demonic possession. No reason for the prejudice if non mages had so much access to magic. And diminishes many of the mage vs Templar plot points from previous games.

The DA fan in me really wants to give this game the benefit of the doubt, but my goodness the art style and combat are really not what I would expect from the franchise. Those are 2/3 of the most interacted with elements of the game and both are lacking. Also, that mobile game/MMO UI needs to be lost in the darkest part of the fade. My god, who thought that was a good idea? I pray there are game modes that allow the player to turn all that intrusive stuff off. I am really leaning towards waiting on this game as much as I hate to say it. Maybe when it's 1/2 off on steam in a few months to a year.

The major problem with this game IMO, is that it's not a Dragon Age game. They appropriated the IP so they could make whatever they wanted and let the name carry the weight. Recently, the devs did a "Smash or Pass" type roulette with characters in the previous games and they didn't even recognize or know who Zevran was. This is especially egregious because there are parts of the game that are ENTIRELY focused on the Antivan Crows. How can they possibly not know who Zevran is? One of the greatest things about Dragon Age, was it's dark, gritty and visceral feel. That has been entirely stripped from the game and if the devs put out a video without telling you the title - you would never, in a million years have guessed that this was a Dragon Age title. It looks like a half-baked fortnite-y RPG. Also, and I'm sorry, but when the devs continuously repeat and regurgitate that all the characters are Pansexual, it kinda puts up some red-flags as to where all the focus was placed on the game. I highly, highly doubt this game will have any amount of real success, regardless of the name and while this breaks my heart to see DA done this way, there's good reason why that success will be limited.

Its very clear to me that the skeleton of this game is the same one as the live service version it used to be which is incredibly disappointing and makes this game look and feel horrendous. That being said I am actually quite excited for this game as the visual aesthetic of a game can often be modded to great effect (of course assuming this dragon age will have a similar amount of mod friendliness as the other bioware games). What can't be modded is writing and story and that is the biggest reason why Dragon Age games are great. Based on everything Ive heard thus far there doesn't seem to be any knocks against those things. So as long as there is a compelling story with characters I can fall in love with, I think this will be a game I quite enjoy.

You've become the last/only reviewer i still trust in regards to rpgs. I need people who can separate the game from everything surrounding it. Im not a fan of the appeals to the modern audience, which never shows up, but i can live with it, as long as there is a fundamentally good game beneath the surface. This looked off to me from the get go. The art style is horrendous, the demonstration was all hallways with bad fps. The qunari look like a love story fanfic version made up by a 13 year old girl. Doubling down on becoming an action rpg franchise is also something i disliked. But again, if the game has more to offer than my bad first impression i could deal with it, but it doesnt seem to have what im looking for: depth.

Seems like a preference honestly. I am the complete opposite where i respected the design of the older DAs but I personally have always liked this art style and games and have wondered why it isn't used more often. Also I wasn't really the biggest fan of combat like in inquisition. I feel this suits me much more. I don't mind not controlling my party as I always prefer to role play as my character only. And even then from what I have seen through different previews this system isn't as barebones as it seems to me. Even he said he didn't test out combos and synergues enough whereas others who did have had pretty good impressions from it. I leave much more excited for this game. I really feel that a lot of people are just hating on the game for the sake of hating it now. Every revealed so far has only cleared the skepticisms people had. Yet they continue to belittle those points and comtinue to stick with their own propoganda for hating this game. This isn't what gaming fandom should be like. We need to identify games that actually have potential and give them support to guide the AAA devs better. If you just hate on everything they make it will never fix it.

The factions also look pretty lackluster (gray wardens aside). Solus/Fade was never interesting to me either so Inquisition was pretty weak imo (besides just making the Qunari look silly with the skin over the bottom of the horns switch from 2) this looks like it’ll be worse. Number of customizations is awesome.

Anything short of that will be seen as a flop, and from what we're seeing, it isn't going to be a hit out of the park. And when it does, EA either axes them, or does a significant downsize of them.

Thank you for sharing your honest and objective thoughts! If there were any hope for me to get back into beloved Thedas, it’s now completely gone; BioWare outdid themselves in disappointing me. Baldur’s Gate 3 taught me how important gameplay is, and The Veilguard has nothing to offer me in that regard. While I love the world-building and story of the franchise, having read all the novels and the anthology, it’s not worth it in this case. To be honest, I don’t even find the continuation of the story compelling-especially considering some very questionable plot decisions.

I'm the old crotchety Boomer who this game is not for. I love classic crpg and loved Dragon Age Origins because of that. It was a really good take on the crpg genre while modernising it and adding some more real-time action-oriented features. But from there the franchise changed, Inquisition wanted to be an MMO more than I wanted to be a good game. Some of the story was still good and I enjoyed hearing about that story from other people's perspectives. But I could not bring myself to slog through the time missions daily Quest and reprise that that game demanded. And Vail guard has stepped even farther away from those crpg roots into a full over-the-shoulder action Rpg. And a change in genre for games is not uncommon but in the case of Dragon Age in particular a lot of the reason I fell in love with the game and the IP is no longer there. I will most likely still consume the story for the game through other people's playthroughs and consumption of media around the game. But personally the game does not interest me and I will not be buying it

Second, I love progress and seing games be inclusive for people and give them access to playing self inserts other than pcs who look like every game protag from the 90s. Additional optiond harm exactly 0 people. Third, and far less important or necessary is to spite the anti-woke crowd. Watching grown adults with 0 emotional regulation or critical thinking skills rage weep and boycot games for simply having the option to make your fantasy character go by she, or they, have purple hair instead of another dime-a-dozen him hero, is hilarious and always enough to have me drop some cash on.

It's bad when the enemies from a fifteen-year-old predecessor look more detailed and realistic than those in a modern game. As for the combat, the more said the worse, and the more I have to say. I'm an old-school RPG fan, and the whole button-mashing combat style leaves me cold. I'll be 61 by the time it releases, and I physically can't time things like a "perfect block." So naturally, that kind of thing is wasted on me. The other problem I have with the combat is all the combat UI stuff you were taking issue with: This is a game where speed and reflexes matter for combat--and they are filling the screen with tons of unnecessary visual effects that are guaranteed to tank frame rates on the kind of low and mid-tier systems RPG fans often own. In many ways this feels like AD&D 2e compared to 1e. The edition where all the grit and adult content was taken out to placate people who were never going to play it anyway. Add in the whole linear mission-based story style and it turns into exactly what I don't want from an RPG. I got into Bioware with Baldur's Gate (the original) and one of the best parts of that game was the ability to open up new parts of the map and find cool stuff that's not on any direct path. That's not here, and it kills replayability. No one is going to be playing this ten and twenty years from now like a Bethesda game because there just isn't going to be enough there to do it.

With each new version it seems they get farther and farther away from what made the Original a classic.

This game has a pretty chaotic development time apparently. I don't think Corinne Busch was a good choice. Why ? - environment art on the Tiger Woods franchise. I knew nothing-literally nothing-about golf, but I’ll tell you, from my first taste of being part of a game team, I knew I’d never do anything else. I absolutely fell in love with game design. - moved over to Maxis’ The Sims™ franchise to work as a systems designer. She remained at Maxis for almost a decade, but when the opportunity to move over to BioWare arose, she jumped at the chance. She lacks experience for such an important project as Dragon Age. I know i'm rude... Maybe i'm wrong.

I am ok with the character models. They are not the best but they don't repulse me. The style I really hate is what WOW does. I might be the only person in the world that never played WOW for even a moment because of that cartoony look they chose.

Just watched another vid showing off the CC (something i was 100% obsessed with in DA:I) and I felt/feel, nothing. It still just screams 'mobile game looking characters' to me.. I cant seem to get excited at all.. which is sad to think i wasted so many years, waiting excitedly and all. Solas owned my heart back then in DA:I but now he feels and looks so unfamiliar.. i dont even care . Harding is literally a different character. Going from hard sturdy woman to wa--bank material for the dudes.. ectect. None of them look or feel like hardened , worn out adults going through life and death adventures. Now they look like they have makeup artists offscreen, touching up their foundation and eyeliner every few mins.

Man it looks like a mobile game. I am feeling the loss of my favorite franchise right now. I really hope it delivers.

My biggest problem with the art direction is that it doesn't feel cohesive? Like there's this weird smear effect on some characters (that doesn't look good) that isn't there on others. Solas looks great in the cutscene he shares with the created character, yet the created character's face stands out super poorly. The monster redesigns are also so bad, it feels like fable knockoff instead of DA. Feels a bit like a Disney/MCU reboot of the darker more gothic franchise. I want to love it so bad because I love Dragon Age, but there are times where I look at it and just feel confused?

It is disheartening to see the game 'cartoonized' but I am holding hope they captured the essence of the story still. Looks to be a lot of hand holding built in. Sad as I am to say it, I will probably wait to buy this despite my love of its predecessors. Don't understand why they ever had to shift from Origins.

I almost 100% with you with everything. Game looks mid. The artstyle and strong bloom, plastic sims 4/fortnite characters. The bad contrasted lighting. The strong fakeish neon colors.

The animation and character design is over smoothen to the point of cartoonish imo. It’s my biggest pain point for this game besides the combat. I think I’m going to wait a bit before purchasing the game. Imo inquisition has a good balance between open world and story driven rpg, they just need to build on this concept but they went with online life service for a while which derailed the development of the game… I can see some of the leftover decisions in the gane still

The fact that these dwarven outfits looks like they aren't fitted but expanded instead. Causing clipping where there shouldn't be and weirdly proportioned accessories. edit: this quest marker jumping into my view the whole time very quickly became an annoyance :((

Dragon Age has never been turn based heck Bioware has never made a turn based game. If you mean pausing the game you can still do that with the ability wheel just like in Mass Effect.

Great video my man! You brought up several points that i've personally been a little miffed about & it's interesting that you actually confirmed some of these. Still looking forward to the game tho but I appreciate your candor! 👊
