At a glance the production values are there. Will that be enough to pull in the normies?
If this game is a success we will have another decade of decline for the RPG genre, as we already had in the '00s.

It will inevitably sell during the weekend, maybe for some days in the following week too. But there is just so many wrong things in this game, even for casual people, to sell well. Word of mouth will hurt this game instead of elevating it now that EA cant take down videos and images around social media claiming copyright infringement. I cant think of many people that would be ok with a lot of psychotic modern day aspects of this game.

I'm very into cock and ball torture
By the way, did anyone check out the kind of books these lead writers have written?

You know, reading the official Dragon Age Discord I can't tell whether this is a troll post or not…. But the hearts would suggest not :P

Final boss + bad ending

That's actually a very cool ending, and Solas' character seems faithful to what we've seen before. Love that oath of loyalty at the start, and the honest "sorry for this final betrayal" at the end.
Very impressed with this video, much higher quality than the other clips I've seen of the game.

Even critical reviews have said that the ending is pretty good. Problem is the 50 some odd hours between you and it.

Don't even start with the relativism you fuckers

It would have to outperform Baldur's Gate 3, which seems impossible given the reviews and clips we've seen of the party HQ therapy sessions.
BG3 will set the trend of MASSIVE FUCKING INCLINE for the RPG genre, as Swen personally pulls the entire industry by its hair forward into the future. Turn based combat! Talmudic dice rolls for a damage rider which evokes a damage rider which evokes a damage rider 4+2+4+3+2+5+2 damage done! Is it correct or bugged? Nobody is intelligent enough to compute it and tell! Shadowheart type companion in every game! Light BDSM lesbian sex on a stone slab in Act I of every game! Cock sliders in character creation! Its not beastiality if its a shapeshifted druid! You can kill almost all NPCs and proceed with the plot! The bag that creates mold in the bag that doubles weight in the bag that does necrotic damage, fill it all with barrels and throw it at enemies! Fifty "Can you beat this game as a cat?" type videos, each with a million views!
This is the future of RPGs, not Veilguard's console gamepad action combat. Bioware's next game, if they are allowed to make another big RPG, will be like that.

A game set in Telvinter could be really great. Imagine the conflict between Zealot Chantry VS a Pagan Misantropic Magocracy. Sadly will be Forspoken tier shit. You can't even use blood magic in this shit game. They replaced it with the worst necromancy in any game.
