I watched Wolfheart stream the game. It looks so so. The bulk of my issues with Veilguard have nothing to do with the "culture war" stuff. As usual, people with an indefensible position latch onto the culture war in attempt to dismiss legitmate criticism.
- I don't like the combat and the stream just confirmed it.
- After watching the whole stream, the art style is still a sore point. The environments look fine. The characters don't. In fact the style of the two conflict
- The presentation, the cluttered UI, despite having a smaller party with more limited skills, the UI seems to take up more of the screen
- The dialogue was so so thus far. It could get better, could get worse. However the dialogue spoken not matching the text you choose is a common occurence.
- The claims that you really can't be mean with your party members holds true.
- The game is direct sequel to Inquistion that ignores most of it's choices
- The game apparently sidelines Solas, after such an interestng build for two boring mustache twirling villains achetypes
The game seems to be standard fare action RPG with a Dragon Age coat of paint, that wasn't color matched, thrown on top. If it weren't titled "Dragon Age". I'd likely have a more positive opinion of it.
