Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Do your party members never die? This was not a good change. Revive should exist along with death.

Are you kidding me?? This game is off the hook!

No, I think it goes with the general design philosophy of simplifying some things to make it more action-oriented in battle. The only deaths are story related.

According to EA press release, this game and FIFA under performed, dragging EA sales down and making their stock drop 17%. 1.5 million people played Veilguard, they expected 3 million players.

Also the game director, Corrinne Busche no longer works for Bioware or EA. Some say she was fired, some say resigned, either way she is gone.

Yeah, I just don't think they ever recovered from the negativity of the first reveal. The art style bothered people and that was before they "dumbed down' the game. I really enjoyed the game but also had no connection to the prior games in the series. Gamers are pretty stubborn a lot of the time, so if they felt it changed too much, usually they react negatively to that.

I didn’t play the new one but really liked the original. Did not like inquisition at all and didn’t play much of 2.

My thought is if you are going to make the game so different why not just make a new IP. This isn’t just related to Vellguard.

It seems like they wanted to use the name to get sales but it’s so different lost a lot of the original fans that made it popular.

I’ll try it once it hits PS Plus but inquisition made me have no interest for this one. Personally I thought the previews looked cool but it didn’t feel/look like Dragon Age

Exactly. I played this one and refunded it. DA: Origins was a masterpiece, DA2 was ok, the rest are a complete joke. It's not only the complete turn of the gameplay, the writing also is horrendous.
Who knows, I hope a studio like Larian acquires the IP and revives it but I guess this will never happen. Maybe in 2045.
