In🐬 terms of number 3, I'd just file that under "it's a game". Like, in most RPGs why can't you have your full party in battle? Why do you intentionally gimp yourself and dramatically reduce your chance of success?

In Origins you can only change your party by leaving camp. What are the others doing at 🍎that time? Alistair just standing there in camp while his fellow warden might be getting killed in the Deep Roads? In DA2 you have party change points around the areas but that raises another question: if they're near enough to you to swap into your party, why are they potentially just watching your active party die?

So in Veilguard they could have the𒁃 ability to switch party members whenever you like (like most JRPGs) but all that'd do is add a pointless layer of inconvenience as you have to open menus to switch Davrin in, or whatever. As Veilguard is designed at the moment, all it'd mean is you'd get to a Harding rock thing, sigh, fast travel back to a party change point, switch in Harding, then run back to the moveable rock again. I don't think that'd be fun or interesting.

>For Final Fantasy 16's to wor🙈k, you need to know a decent chunk about Final Fantasy mythology and what summons even are.

Do you? I'm not a fan of XVI but my 7 year old nephew played it and understood the story with zero JRPG experience, let alone FF experience. B🐠ut let's say you do need to have played previous games in this series with a XVI at the end of its title, and you certainly do need to have played previous games in the currently four part Dragon Age, of course you do.

But then here's a new game, a new franchise, the first game ever set in this narrative, and you don't need to have played the non-existent previous games in a non-existent series? What? Anyway, you don't have to have played any games before Origins to understand Origins. You don't need to play other games before FF1 to understand FF1. Don't get me wrong, Metaphor seems amazing from what I've sꦗeen, but this seems like an odd point.

>The first ♍reason to buy valuab💙les though, is because some of them increase some of your stats when you purchase them

Though unfortunately there seems to be a bug with this where th𓆉ese stat upgrades are not saved ac𝓡ross reloads. Try it yourself, buy one, look for it in your detailed stats (e.g. bonus damage +1%) save and reload. Now it's gone.

It's worth bearing in mind that the default approval you get per item is 3 but some items are slightly preferred and given 5 whereas the favoured items♔ give 15. The higher approval items are listed first when you go to the sell va🌺luables screen. So to be really optimal you can go to each faction and sell them the 15 and 5 approval stuff specifically. To be honest, probably not worth the time, though.

As f🐻or the US and UK price difference, US prices don't include tax. If they had 20% sales tax like we do for VAT, it'd be $840. So it's actual equivalent price of $888 isn't massively more (£37) since it's a significantly bigger market for gaming with less ☂important tariffs and red tape to get it into the country.

An🐬other way to putting it is if our price also didn't include tax, it'd be about £580.
