Thats some terrible voice acting. Talk about recording it into a laptop mic and sending the studio the file over MS Teams.

I think it's going to be middling, and this has nothing to do with it being woke or DEI or whatever. It just looks like a tired, generic shell of other action rpgs.

The vocal fry is probably the least distracting thing in that clip and I hate vocal fry.
“I get that” *Taash approves*
This game is going to be legendary.

Feels like a 6/10 game that will get an 8/10 average from critics for reasons other than gaming.
Art directions looks completely off for a DA game, Character creator is a jwoke, Combat looks mediocre with cellphone tier animations. I have low expectations for a good story and writing as well. Overall the game looks like a step down from previous DA games. This is all from the trailers i saw, there was some cool stuff in the trailers as well, but looking a Bioware track record in recent years, i dont see this game being actually good.

The deep lolz
Because of everything around this game, this person's impression is irrelevant.
"awful" or "meh" isn't some deep thing for me to see as this valid critique. I need a bit more.
I mean, cause it sounds like what Dragon Age already sounds like lol, shit even I'm more interested in the context of this game after seeing that clip, look man...I don't think you get that you not liking something and showing it, may not get the result you think. Thats like me showing a scene I hate in that Space Marine 2 game and be like "wow, look at how dumb that fire fight is Kacho, shit he is BLIND FIRING, how can see his target, wow did they not even use real military typ-"
(Kacho off to buy Space Marine 2 after seeing the scene) lol
I think some of you get waaaaaaay too much into this and just seem to assume that everyone agrees with you.
Saying something is bad doesn't automatically mean everyone will heard in like sheep man, you think its bad, thats ok.
That doesn't mean what you are showing will result in all tha see it not buying the game, its not like the game will get zero sales or something lol How do you know the person you are showing it doesn't care and is now invested in the story scene he just saw? lol
This doesn't even sound all that different then the last Dragon Age
I'm not saying this is GOTY, shit this is not even a day 1 for me, but I don't know if some on here not liking it, is enough to have everyone just fall in line, people disliked the last Dragon Age, yet many of us on here enjoyed it.
How do we know that won't be the case here?
Even if you believe the voice acting or other elements are bad, its feasible the fans of this IP may not even care. I buy many games where I understand what it looks like or sounds like isn't some GOTG type thing, yet still enjoy em, so i don't know if showing that scene will have the desired effect.
This isn't a AC Unity clip or a Witcher 3 clip of someone flying i the air or T-Poses or missing faces etc That at least has a some great substance to it and makes sense to react to this way, the scene you showed wasn't a massive red flag type thing for me..

You claim other people "get way too much into this" while you're the one who combs threads looking for things you disagree with so you can type novels in response.
Like I've said before, learn to be more concise in your posts. Your novels aren't worth the time and effort when you're always looking to argue. You're very childish and predicable.

Apart from the wokeness and some bad character designs, I think this game will be fun. The combat looks a lot better everytime I see it.
Overall, I think it'll be a fun package that perhaps won't appeal to old Dragon Age fans as much, but will appeal to the current crop of gamers. 80-84.

This is the sort of writing I was afraid of.
Oh well… at least I still have Avowed to look forward to.
Writers need to understand, good quality writing is timeless. I can still read a good novel from 1960s and have a great time. It doesn’t need to evolve this much.

Is it possible to play range combat? Spells, Arrows and such. Im about hack and slashed out. Don't want to touch another melee weapon for the rest of the year.

Are we allowed to talk like that here? I only ask because I am new here, and on the other site I've frequented over the years I was just moderated for calling the three biggest DEI games this year DEI games. :/

Call it what you want, and call it out if you don't like it - you're allowed to have an actual discussion here.

I think you're safe with voicing your displeasure. Trolling, system warring, or resorting to attacking other members is when people usually get in trouble.

I am no mod, so I can't comment on what we can and can't do here.
All I'd say, from a user's perspective, is that this is no purple forum
The mods here are mostly fair and encourage healthy discussions and opposing arguments - as long as folks don't cross a line or get personal with another member here. At least that has been my understanding and interpretation. You'll have a much better time here

No they really weren’t. The difference in media reaction to The Veilguard is pretty obvious to people tracking it. I’ll check back in tomorrow AM when the Open Critic score is 85+

thats nice, but I talk on lots of threads lol
I mean you are too into this to believe simply showing that clip means someone or all will agree.
Maybe, maybe not...
You spent more time crying about that I posted that then even talking about the fucking topic... So you know, on the actual fucking topic of what you are talking about originally, I don't see much here and need a bit more context. I can't just go based on "awful"..thats not really doing anything to give me an honest impression, i mean your post literally has zero relevance to the actual thread, its just crying that I replied to you, but shit, you wonder why some of us may not take what is being stated seriously when the bias you have with this fucking game is this extreme?

Who knows, this looks like what old Dragon Age fans was into anyway lol
So its hard to tell.
I don't know if it will be something like 80-84 though, i'll be surprised if its that high, current Bioware has not been knocking em out the park like that for me to feel this one will be it.
We'll see.

Dragon Age 2 was murder on my thumb back in the day. I do still want them all on ps5 though. Just give us some QOL for the first 3. Origins strengths were in its writing.

lol I completely forgot about Dragon Age 2, that was a once over for me, but I recall the wild mashing lol I think to them they thought going a more hack and slash action route was key to success, but its like...if you don't do that well, you really help no one.
So I love the story and gameplay in Origins, I like Inquisition more overall and 2...........no comment lol
Up there imho with one of the worst sequels, right next to DMC2.

Why are the characters talking like they are in present day California?
Expecting a low 80s for this one. Its gay and modern journos will eat it up.

Just like GOW Ragnarock, they writing and way the characters talk appears more akin to a US College campus rather than a fantasy world.

And still an 85?
Something doesn’t add up.
Anything better than BG2/ DAO is automatic 10/10.

I expect around 80-84. Western leftist reviewers will want this to succeed and overrate it.
But, I kinda hope it is good because FPP/TPP RPGs are my favourite genre.

Dude learn to edit your posts. You cook so many word salads you could give Kamala run for her money. You made me alergic to Venom Snake.

You forgot the story.
Also no one here should realistically be expecting DAO/BG2 combat, because looking at any snippet of the action in every single preview, it looked like a Mass Effect game in both combat and speed.
