Dragon Age: The Veilguard appears to receive its final update

That was.... fast? The game hasn't been out that long, has it?

Released october 31 S: Hasn't been long at all

The game was really solid right from launch, so I guess it's not lacking any updates. Bummer that it's perceived as such a failure.

[olap@lemmy.world]

I'm just starting my first playthrough. First hour introduction was solid

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

The one thing it can't be criticised for as I understand it is polish. I've heard many complaints about almost everything else, but as far as technical matters it seems to have shipped very well optimised and largely bug free - a welcome change from what we've grown accustomed to.

Shame about the actual you know, game.

[righthandofikaros@lemmy.world]

It amazes me that the developers and executives really thought they were cooking with this one.

[nesc@lemmy.cafe]

It works great, no questions there. Just not a good game.

[anakin78z@lemmy.world]

I, for one, loved it. That may not be true for a lot of people, but I'm glad the game was made.

[hal_5700x@sh.itjust.works]

RIP the Dragon Age series.

[acosmichippo@lemmy.world]

eh it'll be back. they are doing another mass effect after Andromeda.

[hal_5700x@sh.itjust.works]

Mass Effect 5 is going to suck. See the pattern, their last three games sucked.

[acosmichippo@lemmy.world]

yet they still keep making them.

[moonlightfox@lemmy.world]

Yeah, this is quite surprising really. This was a big expensive title and not even 6 months have passed.

[jtskywalker@lemm.ee]

I love the combat system and I think the more action oriented combat is a good change for the system. The story feels much less open world and really heavy on the cutscenes, but it really is more of an action rpg so that's fine.

I really do think it falls short in the character interactions and dialogue. It feels like you are locked in to playing a really nice character, which I usually do anyway, but it feels pretty campy and limited compared to how varied the old games could be depending on your options.

It does have one of the best character creation processes I've ever used.

It's definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, and it's a good game, just kinda cheesy which is wildly different from previous DA games. But BG3 exists if you want to play a mean or evil character in a fantasy rpg

[anakin78z@lemmy.world]

Yes, the combat is awesome.
I just played Origins, and sure, there were a lot of opportunities for my character to be a dick, but I really wonder how many people choose those options. I didn't.
I liked how close you could get to the companions in Veilguard. It felt much more impactful in the end game.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

Hoping Exodus is good though

[bread@feddit.nl]

Until they reach a threshold of consecutive disappointing results, and EA lays off the entire studio.

[dudedudenson@lemmings.world]

Honestly I loved that series growing up so mutch I sure hope they go back to the mass effect 3 formula for the next one.

I rather doubt they will but the hope's there

[isomorph@feddit.org]

I had to stop playing specifically because of the combat. Felt like a cheap mobile game. Didn't even make it far enough to experience the character interactions.

[jtskywalker@lemm.ee]

I usually played the non-nonsense serious type of good guy that you don't get in veilguard but yeah. I haven't finished it so I'm looking forward to that. I'm only like 15 hours in but I'm split between that, BG3, and Skald Against the black priory, which is a fantastic old school style rpg. I picked up all of those in December on the steam sale
