In this video, I discuss one of my favourite video game stories of all time, Dragon Age: Origins, as well as its more controversial successors in the Dragon Age Series (You guessed it... including Veilguard). I'm a LITTLE worried about Veilguard, lol, like many others, and I try to break down why. There's a lot of red flags when it comes to EA's respect of the creative process in the making of Veilguard (until recently known as Dreadwolf), which I explain a bit in this video.
But, I can't give up hope, I just can't, because all I want is for Bioware to succeed again. I want EA to get better. And even if that's just pointless hope, STILL... ahh. Baldur's Gate 3 reminded me of the beauty of Origins and the power of good stories, and I can only hope that more publishers can see the value of a labour of care and love (even if it takes longer than they'd like).
Stories are so much more personal and important to our humanity than our culture gives them credit for, and I honestly think that's why so many people are worried about Dragon Age and Bioware in general. Would strongly recommend checking out Jonathan Gottschall's Book, "The Storytelling Animal", if you want to explore the subject of storytelling and our brains in a well-written, easily digestible book. EA should also read this book LOL. It might help them to understand that they need to let Bioware COOK instead of MICROWAVE.
