Come on Asia do your thing make this game tank hard in sales, We need a new influx of non binary door dashers in the coming months :ROFLMAO:

Asia is not into Bioware titles.
If you check reviews breakdown by language on Steam you'll see that they're a very small minority compared to more modern games.

Main reason for that is that EA didn't support them.

Looking at Steam for languages supported for Dragon Age:

Dragon Age: Origins:
English
Italian
Spanish - Spain
Germany

Dragon Age 2:
English
French
Italian
German
Polish
Portuguese - Brazil
Russian

Dragon Age: Inquisition:
English
French
Italian
German
Spanish - Spain
Japanese
Polish
Portuguese - Brazil
Russian


This makes sense because 2009-2014 and a very console focused RPG franchise meant that EA really didn't care about those markets back in the day.

Writing tools
The game director itself is M to F guy who dresses in skirts, this game is littered with pro nouns and gender identity politics. I know a guy who got a code and he said that even if this BS was not there the combat will bore you to death

Ok, that paints a clearer picture to make my decision.

The sad part is this could have been so much more......... For a game named Dragon Age where we fight gods, demons , dragons the game is more focused on modern day ident pol.

Now I fear What ND and Santa Monica will dish out

It's nothing short of fantastic how these legacy access media sites keep digging themselves down to irrelevancy by trying really hard to pump up games that end up being massive failures.


Let them keep doing this shit. By the time they notice how irrelevant they've become, all the publishers and developers will have stopped giving them review codes and paid weekends to Disneyland because no one watches them and the amount of sales they generate is nearly zero.

They butchered the character like solas, rook, varic

Rook SIDELINED, backstory wasted. Just a guy in a bar, very much diminished.

Solas is SIDELINED HARD. Made into a minor character with little importance or development until suddenly important at end of game, and that ending is "Baffling" and not in a good way

Your Quinari companion in this game introduced themselves as non binary

Other major characters like Varric, turned into mere "advisors" and pushed to the back of the story.

Grey Warden Davrin, a newcomer who never finished his training, gets to influence and make important decisions for the Grey Wardens solely because he is a PoC. "Gets to decide everything"

Inquisitor and Inquisition is corrupt and may not be of any help even if you didn't disband it. Choices you made in previous series dont matter have zero influence. Its like a brand new story

It's so far removed from Origins, that it's crazy that it's in the same universe."

I’ll play it and might come away not fully hating it but for some outlets to say this is the best entry in the series when Origins is out there is bonker.

Seeing “Its worse than we thought” “the end of bioware” And then talking straight about woke, isnt gonna explain anything about the game for me.

Is the combat better than DAO?
Have they kept or improved the dialogue options etc?

Cant be worse than the last Mass Effect when it comes it polish

Oh, I thought it was a new story/ set of characters. I havent looked into the game trailers, I thought Id wait till release.
I didnt expect them to carry on character choices from previous game

The story is meh, Solas the big bad revealed at end of inquisition is quickly dismissed and 2 generic big bads are the main antagonists for the rest of the game, get a month of EA play if you are interested as this not worth a purchase at all

There is a reason they changed the name from dreadwolf to veilguard lol, Solas is relegated to a chump

Well I don't think this forum is the place for you to be discussing gameplay about this game anyways lol. It's pointless especially since you're one of the few here with good intentions when it comes to discourse... When the game is released is the only time you'll actually know.

So I'm waiting for a friend to buy it then go off his honest thoughts as he's a huge fan.

If I get some combat recommendations i might try it on EA monthly thing. I swear its like £3

I kinda need a decent story too with lots of choices. Ill have a look at story and combat reviews over the weekend, Im in no rush for it tbh, just want something with enjoyable combat in a big WRPG world

Oh wait it's gonna be on EA Play immediately upon release or sometime after? I use to be subbed but I honestly never used it, so I cancelled it

I could see this. If the combat difficulty is just scaling enemy HP pools without adding any technical challenge, then the harder difficulties are just longer encounters, not harder ones.
yeah, i did the same with some JRPG, where it feels, like enemies are just sponges without any skill required or extra mechanics adding up.
