PC gamer: Is this the end of Dragon Age?

Technically and gameplay-wise Bioware is fine. It's just the writing of dialogue, lore, etc. that has gone down to a deep abyss.

So far I don't see any signs of that being fixed and since games by 'former X devs' near-universally disappoint I'm inclined to say both ME4 and Exodus will probably be at Andromeda levels of quality if that.

Technically there was not much in the way of progression between Inquisition and Veilguard... Not one that implies a 10 year gap.
I would even argue in some instances, the characters in Inquisition looked better.

Likely that is partly due to the re-use of the Frostbite engine which is starting to feel dated at this point... And some artistic choices.

But to veilguards credit, that hair was absolutely incredible.

Yeah I agree. But I would just want some changes made that would modernise it a wee bit and add in some extra content, small stuff, nothing majour. Bring it up to a level where it feels as good as people remember in their minds, cause it HAS aged. 

Having replayed it just before Veilguard dropped, I think the combat has aged really well and doesn't need any "modernization".
I honestly like being forced to fire up my second braincell and think and plan what I am doing.

I get Dragon Age 2, Inquisition and Veilguard wanted real-time mechanics, but maybe that could have been a new franchise instead?

Planescape is so outdated though, it's like advising a Diablo 4 newbie who now loves CRPGs to go back and play Diablo 1 over Path of Excile which is a pretty lack luster game if we're being honest. 

Planescape hold up much better than diablo I, imo.
But I see your point... you have to install mods to get it to run high resolutions ect ect.
Out of the box, there can be issues just getting it to run, its that old.
However gameplay wise, there no issues with it.

They remastered planescape torment which alleviates many of those issues.
