Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

Now I wonder, should I download 86 FREAKING GB

No. Don't do it. The game will offend your sensibilities. Just enjoy the memes and laugh at the game. Don't touch this garbage. Play anything else but this.

The thing the game does where it does pop-ups to inform you of things, it's REALLY insulting. Varric got hurt doing his plan thing, and I just talked to him and the game did a pop-up to tell me that Varric feels bad because his plan didn't work. Gee thanks so much for telling me that, heaven forbid I actually listen to what he's saying and maybe I dunno try to interpret human emotions for myself

Believe it or not, you can disable this shit in the options. It's under HINTS. If you're there, disable quest markers and any other "helpful" shit.

So many of the 'recommend' reviews on Steam are something like:
"Yeah this game does have problems X,Y,Z and I didn't like A,B,C, and yeah the writing is bad and juvenile but it's a good game, really! Maybe not a good Dragon Age game but it's good, sort of! If you're not me you will enjoy it, probably!"

Yeah this seems to be common. Most people who like the older entries in the series are more forgiving than the dex, so you get a lot reviews like: "Yeah it's not for me anymore, but the arpg combat is serviceable and my kid would probably like it so I guess"

Now I wonder, should I download 86 FREAKING GB, or should I watch it and hear words "clitoris" and hid potion into his ass? It also brighten the day by screaming "DIALOGUE WHEEL IS TRASH" (and has been trash for 20 years they are using it)

Why not play something good instead? I'm replaying Baldur's Gate.

I wanted to play something new, otherwise I'd be replaying ELEX. It was German jank, but it was nice German jank.

Play Drova

I disabled quest markers already but they still appear. I also disabled hints and tutorials

I might try restarting

 

[Dark Souls II]

70k in the game right now.

I'm sure it'll surpass the janky Dark Souls 2, lol.

Gayguard will never touch the perfection that was DS2

Please, let us be civilized here, and not compare the Troonguard to Dark Souls II. It is like comparing Marvel to Tarkovsky, Taylor Swift to Anton Bruckner. It is unsightly.

I'm pretty sure I just got the injured Varric part and I didn't get any stupid memos but then again I am so zoned out playing this my brain might have just ignored it.

No, Im disappointed, just when I bought, installed and started the game it crashed and got this message.

Left the message on the Steam forum, waiting for help.

The game looks interesting, gonna wait for a response before refunding.

This thread is approaching 600 pages while more and more codexers play it.

Bioware just refuse to learn from their mistakes. They are still overusing these dialogue wheels where you get one type of response for every single dialogue choice. So you get a witty response, an aggressive response, etc... In every fucking dialogue.

I just stopped reading the dialogues honestly and pick aggressive each time because all the other responses are lame as fuck

Which is another issue, how badly they are written, but that's another matter

Varric got hurt doing his plan thing, and I just talked to him and the game did a pop-up to tell me that Varric feels bad because his plan didn't work.

Do you know why Varric is upset?
