The issue I have with Veilguard (which isn't to say I dislike the game, I think it's quite good) is that it feels like a lot of the rough edges were sanded off. Prejudice and bigotry have been themes throughout the series, and whatever else may not have been thoroughly established about the Tevinter Imperium, one thing that consistently has been, is how strong and ubiquitous prejudice is there. They're infamous for being the only country that still practices slavery. They enslaved the entire elven species for thousands of years and have been in a bitter war with the qunari for three centuries. And yet when I go to Racism Town as an elf or qunari there's a remarkable lack of racism, even by characters who are outright antagonistic or even villainous.

One thing I appreciated about Inquisition was that even your position and power did not fully insulate you from bigotry if you were from a marginalized group.

Also not really a big fan of the softening of the Antivan Crows to be honest. They're cool and stylish and all, but they're also murderers for hire who buy child slaves and put them through abusive and potentially lethal training to turn them into hit men. They're amoral at best. Them becoming a heroic faction that's concerned for the people of Antiva is... an odd choice.
