    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.

    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

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

      The last three bioware games or the last three mass effect games?

      Of Bioware's last three games, Andromeda sucked, Anthem was an atrocity, but Veilguard was decent, not great like classic Bioware games, but it wasn't bad, it was at least fun to play and had a decent story and characters.

      Of the last three Mass Effect games, Andromeda sucked, ME3 was great until the Horizon mission then it goes to absolute dog shit, and ME2 was great as a character driven RPG but feels a bit out of place in the franchise as a whole.

      Only in the latter case do I really see a true downward trajectory. In the former there's a tentative upward trend in the quality of Bioware's games.

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

        The game was solid from launch. When a game is an offline, single-player game, with no future content planned, and good QC from the get go, you don't need a whole lot of updates. You just need to fix the bugs that pop up when the general public with their wide variety of hardware/software configs and gameplay styles that weren't tested for get their hands on it.

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

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

                Does this really need a post? It's a single player offline RPG with confirmed no dlc and wasn't a buggy mess

                  Did Veilgaurd actually have a good story...? The videos I've seen had atrocious writing.

                    But it's kinda a non-starter in an rpg. Especially since the combat looked like a slog

                        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.

                        The combat tutorial is not great in my opinion, but once you unlock more abilities and companion synergy it is pretty fun. Being able to respec at will is really nice so you can try out a lot of different abilities.

                          This was my first DA game, and it sounds like going in blind really improved my experience. I had a blast, kinda bummed by the hate.

                            It didn't, it's extremely boring, everything is disney-ified to unbelievable level, and there is no conflict, at all. At worst someone can say something mildly hurtful (acceptable to children <10 years old) but at the end of the dialog everyone return to happiness, the villains are bad and evul, the heroes are good and heroic, there is no option to even be impolite, lol. Add to it "puzzles" that won't puzzle a kindergardener, and that's what veilguard is. I honestly don't get why they hate their players so much as to assume that they are regarded.
