Dragon Age™: The Veilguard

💩

My starting point to this series was Dragon Age Inquisition, I did not play 1 and 2. Therefore, the first time I played this game with an EA store subscription, I lacked a lot of context for the history of the game. The first time I played the game, I played it donning figurative eyewear made of extreme criticism as I expected a lot from this game, fair to say I did not like it and had to stop halfway into it. Then I bought it on steam for a discounted price and watched some history into the world since the other entries were fairly outdated. The game offers 3 starting classes, a sword and board knight, a rogue and a mage. It is really important that you actually like the class you play, for me it got really boring playing a knight. Second time around, a rogue worked for me. There are 3 specializations within the classes too and they are quite varied, allowing you access to a decently sized skill tree. The graphics and the artwork are significantly different from the previous entries, it appears less mature and the it fails to capture the great evils that plague this world, it feels like they aimed in the middle of something safe and then also gruesome, which looked like a little weird mix. That said, the visuals are great, the game is really smooth and I did not come across any bugs in my playthrough. Though, it failed to deliver on the ambience I expected, it is decent enough. The character customization was excellent. Although, the basic character presets might look cartoonish without any customization, you can give your character a grim and mature look through adjusting the various sliders quite a bit. The story lacks a bit in the early stages of the game. Character interactions seems a bit forced and your decisions will feel like they lack certain impact. However, as the game carries forward, they correct this part by introducing impactful consequences to your actions. They are not many but it is significant enough to let you know that your decision does carry weight and they will weigh on you. It doesn't do a great job of tying past game content or the history of the world, it could have been better but I still liked the amount of history that it does introduce and the amount of stuff you can read on the codex. If you stick with it, it gets better in the last half of the game and it becomes a great ride with your companions. Most of the companions in this game is quite new to you and there is no prior history of them. Therefore, it gets a bit difficult to relate with them, feel compassion for them or even deal with them. The only familiar face is Harding and it was only because I played DAI. The best part of the game was the combat and how smooth it was. Throughout the game, it didn't feel repetitive or feel frustrating (if you play on the hardest difficulty enemies do feel like sponges especially if you are under leveled for fights). You can make builds around different items you come across and combat is kept fresh that way. TLDR: Not a GOTY contender but definitely recommended to get on sale!

Hat Spaß gemacht und war die ganze Zeit motivierend. Leider keine open world. Ach ja, die Quests zur Personenfindung bei Taash war gut. Sie ist jetzt binär, aber das gendern war unerträglich. Macht die Sprache kaputt. Zerstört mit seinen hen's, Behütere und anderen Wortfindungen die Immersion.

As a fan of Dragon Age: Origins, I really enjoyed Dragon Age: The Veilguard. 1. The story was excellent and kept me engaged throughout the game. 2. The companions were interesting, but the interactions with them didn't fully work for me. The game doesn't really allow the player to be harsh or confrontational. If I want to tell someone off, the game should let me do that instead of constantly softening the dialogue. Dragon Age: Origins is a great example of this, where you could argue with companions and even dislike them, which made the world and characters feel more alive. I would also remove the dialogue hint icons and let players interpret their choices on their own. 3. I liked the level design, but I wasn't a fan of the overall visual style. The game looked too bright, friendly, and somewhat cartoonish. Dragon Age is a dark fantasy setting, and I think the visuals should reflect that more consistently. 4. I really enjoyed the combat, especially playing as a mage. However, I would redesign the progression system by focusing more on active abilities and fewer passive bonuses. I would also increase the number of abilities available during combat. Instead of being limited to only a few skills, I would prefer having access to more abilities through hotkeys, similar to older RPGs. 5. Solas was one of the highlights of the game for me. Learning about his past, his motivations, his struggles, and the consequences of his actions was genuinely fascinating. 6. The game's performance was excellent. I experienced no noticeable technical issues or slowdowns while playing on an NVIDIA RTX 3060. I honestly don't understand all the hate this game receives. In my opinion, it's a very good game and far more enjoyable than Dragon Age II and Inquisition. If the developers had embraced a darker visual style, it would have been even better. That said, when compared to Dragon Age: Origins, most of the companions in Veilguard fall short in terms of depth, complexity, and overall memorability. I would definitely recommend the game. I spent 52 hours with it and don't regret a single one. If Dragon Age 5 ever happens, I hope it embraces a darker tone in its visuals, dialogue, and player choices.

Amo esta Saga de Video Juegos, pero como me arrepiento de gastarme lo que valia cuando salio esto, no me termine el juego, mi mente no dio para eso, porque no me gusto nada, las animaciones, el arte de los personajes, la manera de moverse por el mapa, la jugabilidad, nada, espero que a alguien le sirva de algo, a mi me gusta la saga, pero para mi la experiencia no es agradable

Just felt like such a let down after Inquisition. Did NOT live up to the hype.

This is a game for children unlike the predecessors. Couldn't get over the dialogue. Do not buy even on discount.

hikayenin yarısına geldim ve bu oyun dragon age değil. Kendi başına oyun olarak bakıldığı zaman 5/10 meh yani ne çok iyi ne çok kötü ama dragon age olarak bakıldığı zaman kesinlikle 1/10 denebilecek bir oyun. İlk olarak karakterlerin önceki 3 oyun kadar bir derinliği olduğunu düşünmüyorum ki diğer 3 oyunun hikayeleri de bence daha güzel işlenmişti ki bu kadar güzel bir konuyu batırmaları yazık olmuş çok güzel bir hikaye olabilirdi. VE EN ÖNEMLİ KISIM BU SERİNİN TERİMLERİ EVRENE DAHİL BİLGİLER NEREDE OĞLUM 10 SAATTİR OYNUYORUM O KADAR BASIC Kİ HER ŞEY ESKİ OYUNLARDA ANLAMAZ "NE DİYOR BUNLAR AQ" DER GİDER CODEX OKURDUK. Oynanışa değinmek istemiyorum zaten oynanışın değişeceği söyleniyordu ama gerek yoktu sırf ea multiplayera daha rahat döndürsün de insanları daha rahat sömürsün diye büyük ihtimalle bu karar alındı sonra sanırım o plan da patladı ve b*k gibi aksiyon bir süre sonra sıkıyor her karakterin neden 5 skilli var ve bu 5 skillden 3ünü seçebiliyor aq originste uzatırdık slotu koy istediğini aq ve şuana kadar her oyunda o kadar güzel skill seçenekleri vardı ki burada sadece pasif seçiyon saçmalığa bak zaten zorluk aşırı saçma önceki oyunlarda easy'e alsan bile taktiksiz gelişi güzel oynayamazdın kolayı bile zorlardı bunda o kadar basitleştirmişler ki önceki oyunlarla alakası yok zorluktan anladıkları tek şey aynı anda 3 kalkanlı 3 4 düşmanı üstüne atmak yanında küçük düşmanlarla. hikayenin basitleşmesi ve yumuşaması da zaten büyük ihtimalle ea yüzünden oldu daha çok insana satmak aman kimseyi rahatsız etmeyelim düşüncesiyle hareket edildiği çok belli evrenin bütün karanlıklığı politkliği silinmiş. ea gibi bir parazitin sırf daha fazla para için Origins gibi bir oyunu çıkarmış Bioware'i nasıl mundar ettiğinin en büyük kanıtıdır bu oyun. Eğer seriyi daha erken oynamış olsaydım da 4. oyun için 10 yıl bekleseydim ve sonuç bu olsaydı ea'yi imha ederdim.
