Maybe if they pushed it back they could have made it a bit better. But between the personal insertions, political messages and the unfortane social injustices nonsense, a game that was supposed to be escap♉ism from reality only became an extension of it.

I know EA pushed to just have it rele📖ased as soon as possible so that their greedy hands could get more money. I hope they felt the sting when their actions slapped them in the face after the game failed and instead of raking in profit they lost a lot more than what people assume. EA is where games go to die now.

Your comment is a whole lot of words that just say you're ok with mediocrity. The defense that "oh its not skyriওm so stop comparing it" tells us you really missed the mark on the whole debate about the subpar game that was ♛released.

People are not saying the game should play exactly as skyrim. They are comparing mechanics of games made 10 to 15 yrs ago having bett💫er immersion than a game that literally came out how long ago? Games shouldn't be regressing in quality... they should be learning from other games that became great and build off their success. The gaming industry has unfortunateꦍly taken a very nasty downward spiral.

So your straw grasping is just that, and the fact you just lump everyones genuine criticism as the who🅺le dumb "chud" insult just amazes me. Like many of you absolutely don't act like adults and you get offended when anyone has REAL criticism. Every game that has come out that flopped has cycled the same behaviors from the same groups.

There is a reason skyrim has been released how many times and still has 3x the active players than avowed ever had... even with skyrim being so old it still beats the pants off avowed. You'd think maybe skyrim had a working formula and maybe other studios could have taken insp𒁏iration from it.

And yes we as consumers are 100% allowed to make comparisons to games we enjoyed/enjoy... that's how you know if a game sucks or not. If you enjoyed it then say so and move on without invalidating the genuine crit𓆉icism that's ꦦout there. We are just tired of mediocrity. You should aim for the stars not the porch.

The Ceo isn't responsible, nor is it the hugher ups. They only care about numbers and order those running the studio to make things happen. They just call meetings and ask if the studio is meeting deadlines and goals. Veilgaurds failure was 100% corrinne busche and the activists that controlled the work environment. As verified current employees have leaked, the work environment is stifling with many getting cut down from the pol🌜itically charged activists running the show. So it was 100% the employees that sabotaged the IP.

The studio has changed hands a couple times and lost much of its talent due to these changes. The studio then funneled in an activist director that then hired like mind🧜ed people to help support the message and not the gamers.

The highers up have really zero calls on what the writers do... its why they hire directors for studios to pass or deny creative processes The suits don't care... they ca🐼re about profits. When the writers and directors failed to produce a 🍸good game they were punished for it... by being removed, forced out or fired.

The suits don't over see anything BUT the♊ financial gain or lack there of. Corrinne buche is who destroyed the dragon age veilgaurd by self injecting themselves into the game and peppering in identity politics in a very messy way to check off DEI checklist as per sweet baby inc consultations♑.

They turned a fantasy game into a political chess piece. We didn't want modern agendas in a fantasy game and well... the st🦩udio was punished for it for making it such.

Unfortunately bioware has lost the majority of their talent and those still there have already expressed how bad the working environment is that I highly doubt they will stick around. Veilgard being unsuccessful (we know they lost a lot of money on it) will snowball along with the talent issue and EA will most likely dissolve bioware if mass effect becomes a failure (if not sooner). The massive hits agaisnt them from mass effect 3, Andromeda, anthem and now veilguard.. it doesn't loo🌟k good for them.

It's a bit misleading phrasing it "bioware broke highest concurrent players on steam" when of course it would be seeing bioware hasn't been ꦆon steam for how long? Other than maybe ME remaster? There were less known and almost unknown IPs that did 3x the player counts on steam which is embarrassing for a title such as dragon age. They should have pushed out the release, worked harder on the story, actually took time to.. know what.. that wouldn't have mattered. The character writer for Joshaphine also wrote emmerich.. and you can tell between the characters they were heavily throttled when writing Emmerich. But even that they made probably the better character amongst them all. But you definitely could tell someone else was calling the shots on what would be acceptable for release and now they quit. Bioware has driven off most of their team...Topped with the hostile work environment... bioware is done.

One shoved political agendas down your throat with 🐬massive hits regarding immersion by using modern terms and issues🌺... while the other had some it wasn't anything near veilguard, it wasn't invasive and it had an actual well written story, characters and gave freedom to actually roleplay... where as veilguard told you how to think, act and play while telling you'll like it or else...

It would have been more immersion if they worked Taash the same way they worked Krem. Designed a qun word that symbolized what non binary is and incorporate it into taash's storyline with their identiy discovery peaking when they develop the new word in the qunari language. Not only would that create a unique aspect of the character🍸 arc but also have the wa🔜y for possible future characters while maintaining the world building and lore. Rook could still give input and direction and would have provided more character depth overall. It could have inflections from both cultures to show a merging to further elaborate on identity.

And you clearly have zero reading comprehension. Every comment except one, states they didn't have a problem with the character but with how badly the character was written and how horribly they inserted the character into the very rushed storyline and world. The way you had to comment is exactly why some people are so disingenuous toward trans and non binary as you are the literal embodiment of the "woke culture" that many are tired of hearing. I would highly suggest walking back, take a moment to reevaluate your minds⛎et and next time read beyond the first few words before you run your social justice fingers over the keyboard/screen...

I have to agree. Did a new recent playthrough and took him along instead of s💎hadowheart. His banter with the other team mates is quite good as his storyline. Was🎉 a shame he didn't have as much screentime as the others.

Have to say this is one of the better articles ꦦwritten about this game. The issues are presented well with zero pandering of any type and not even hint of the political connotations found in other articles. Did good job highlighting a flaw in the lore and story which is the main problem I have with veilgaurd. There are just do many inconsistencies and total blatant disregard for the lore that makes it painful to want to play it.
