Tbf, he enjoyed starfield writing so everything is possible.
Where did I said I “enjoyed” Starfield writing??

I praise Bethesda for giving a way out. I don’t find it interesting, I simply say yes then move on, without having to listen to the yapping.

This means they don’t consider their writing to be essential. I think this is good design, unlike, say Witcher 3 where I had to listen to every last detail.

Hopefully its clear.

Dialogue being non-essential in an rpg is kinda of a strange praise but ok.

I think you can also just kill monsters without needing much info in the witcher game, you are not really forced to hear the yapping, you can just ignore dialogues and follow the witcher sense.

But usually people like to listen to w3 dialogues because they are not dull af like in starfield, the dialogues in w3 are the final rewards, definitely more than the gameplay itself.

Ill give it an honest look after its out in the wilds.

Its my first DA that I'm not day one on. Sorry Bioware, you are shadows of your former self and have not earned day 1 purchases from me.

Same. I imagine I’ll play it as I liked the first 3 games to varying degrees, even liked bits of Mass Effect Andromeda (character loyalty quests mainly) and I’m a sucker for game with dialogue choices etc. Also cautiously optimistic about them abandoning the open world design as the bloat there was the main downside of Inquisition for me as I liked everything else.

But still need to see reviews and impressions of story and gameplay before I think about buying at full price. Earliest I’d buy would be November 7th when I get my PS5 Pro since it has a Pro mode, so that’s a week to wait on impressions etc. If it has bugs etc., I can wait longer as I have other games I’ve been holding off on start while waiting for the Pro.

just make sure you can refund if it is bad.
If it’s that bad, definitely.

I just don’t think I can get a good read on the RPG systems in the game in under 2 hours. You need to invest serious time to judge them properly.

I played Witcher 3 recently.

There is no exit option in any dialogue. Only a way to move forward. And once you have exhausted all dialogue, it gives an option for final line and exit.

Its writing is good but I got tired of it in a while. Game just assumes I am interested in it.

Pressing a button to go forward is what i meant, you can reduce a 2 min chat into a 5 sec chat, that's enough for me.
 
Fast forward to three months from now.

Game tanks. Management blames incels/chuds/all men in general. Lay offs begin. "How dare you grave dance! People are losing their jobs!"

Best I can hope from this game is that it results in Mass Effect 5 development getting rebooted in such a way that the leads decide that the "modern audience" is not worth pursuing.

The "likes" of me? Like you know me, lol.

Oh wait, from that accusation, I can only imagine your a MAGA lolololol. Ok, my comment stands & makes sense.
Post history reveals a lot about people. I’m not a “MAGA” but thanks for further revealing what you are. I was spot on. Nice avatar btw.

IF TRUE, I am not liking what I see with some of these "early impressions".

Going by the early info way back it was known you cant control NPCs since Veilguard is basically an action game. And gameplay vids confirm it. And super colourful graphics like the boxart.

This game is dragon age only in name, I've tried to give it a chance but the trailers have been terrible and the gameplay left me limp as a noodle.

Not even remotely interested. This isn't Dragon Age. It's some other abomination of an RPG carrying the Dragon Age name.

You've heard of the Zombie Simpsons? This is Zombie Dragon Age.

But I predict the usual 'journalist' suspects will gush over the game and give it high praise for its dumbed down combat systems and reducing what Dragon Age once was down to a braindead formula to sell to 'modern audiences', while actual players will likely review it thusly:

I am somehow hyped for this. I loved previous instalments of DA, but this for some reason looks more action game focused (fighting), so will wait for some reviews and gameplay videos before jumping in.

You bet I’m wrong? You don’t sound very sure.

Anyway, I don’t comb through your actual post history. I’ve recently noticed you posting more and you tend to never post anything of value, BUT, in certain topics you give off a certain vibe. I’ll just leave it at that.

Let’s stay on topic since you wanted to engage with me specifically. Are you a big Dragon Age fan, Cornbread? Are you excited for this game in particular? If so, what are you looking forward to the most?

The part where he shows all the people who are no longer with the company (crossed off in the credits of a previous game) was very impactful. It's the best and simplest explanation for why this game is so different from previous titles.
It’s very obvious this will be very different from previous games in terms of tone and style.

Fextralife said the writing was subpar will suffer through it for the gameplay. What a glowing endorsement.

YouTube served this up to me in my recommended. The first minute or so is LOL. You think we’ll have that kind of freedom in Veilguard?

This is one of those game where I will never understand the hype. It reeks of mediocrity.
Then again, Dragon Age has never been good apart from the very first game.
