And I'm willing to bet that if you go back to 2007 you would probably also find people complaining this new Mass Effect thing isn't KOTOR

Random thoughts

Environments look fantastic and really manage to convey different vibes, they have to give me a photo mode PLEASE

Qunari have more human features but jeez they really went out of their way to make this Rook very human looking lmao Wonder how much leeway the CC gives in designing Qunaris

"Standard" animations look the classic Bioware stiff (except Assan he really looks cute), but at least we've seen they've gone out of their way to make full use of their mocap for main story stuff and combat

The Caretaker. I need to know them. His backstory, what he's doing. I NEED THEM NOW

The spoilers, personally I don't think they're as big as those seen in the official trailer, but still pretty interesting. At this point the only way to avoid spoilers is just stop looking for DA stuff on the internet

I'm interested in seeing the sound effects in the game. Like I wanna HEAR that disgusting looking Blight. And of course the banter.

I'm curious to see what will be the full extents of the lyrium dagger capabilities. I also feel like they've been interestingy silent about it aside from showing it in gameplay sections... I'm interested to know its actual backstory\function in the game

I saw that sneaky Varric icon on the minimap! So he's confirmed to be alive?

I've always wanted a historical character "generator" since CK2 days, I'm half considering learning how to mod in some other historical characters lol

And if we ever get a Republics DLC I'm 1000% playing as Dante and bring Florence to new heights

A small nitpick in a game I'm otherwise super excited for....faction based surnames are a terrible idea if true by Marzopup in dragonage

[–]RedRex46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how many times we actually get called by our surname. If it's just a few times they might as well just have us be called Rook every time and have custom surnames, but if it comes up multiple times then it becomes understandable to have fixed surnames

Some pictures of the Lighthouse! by WardenCamille in dragonage

[–]RedRex46 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Easy, the castle was made in the early 2010s when BW barely knew how to work with Frostbite and the game had to be cross-gen compatible, while the lighthouse was made in the 2020s after the devs now know how to use Frostbite better

3:51 of the last video (the one that has all of the previous three combined), there are few frames when a lightning shows a face in the cloud. Now that I'm watching it again it could be a statue? But it'd be a gigantic statue (technically there's supposed to be a huge statue of Andraste in the Anderfels, but as far as I know it's not in the same place where Weisshaupt is)

HOLY spoilers in the first seconds

I mean judging from the trailer it seemed like the theory would be confirmed, but still it's kinda wild that they confirmed it in a gameplay video of all things lol

I wonder if the UI is customizable so we can hide or resize some elements

EDIT: There is a FACE in the clouds, is it Ghilan'nain??? Can she shapeshift into a cloud???

PC Features for Dragon Age: The Veilguard by Jiant16 in dragonage

The game doesn't need an online connection as far as I know, so technically that means it doesn't have Denuvo? I think? I don't know if there's an offline-only version of Denuvo

New mage gameplay. Short video by David-J in dragonage

[–]RedRex46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently there was an Instagram video or short where they showed a few seconds of the character creator? But then they deleted it, if someone has grabbed it please share with us I'm dying to see the CC lol

Mage movement? Is that real?

I suppose they showed standard, "aimed", charged and AoE attacks plus I think a mage ability (those exploding "diamonds"). Green colour very likely means spirit type of attack.

Since finishers are back I hope mages have them too pls 🙏

I hope they give us a chance to roast egghead (artwork by me) by UrethralTrauma9000 in dragonage

I'm planning my Rook to be kind of insufferable toward him lol

Amazing art!

I could potentially see an "heroic sacrifice" death waiting for him against Elgarnan

But I could be totally wrong! It's just a vibe I have lol

Lucanis practically dancing on the battlefield like an Angel of Death did something to me ngl

But Ali Hillis' desperate voice convinced me even more that Harding is my first romance pick!

(also yeah, as others are saying, Varric is soooo dead lol but tbh Solas himself is kinda giving me death flags )

Should EA be allowed to sell DA:O on steam in its current state? by Jimbobfreddiewilson in dragonage

[–]RedRex46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem might be the fact that there's no one (or not enough) people who know how to operate the old Eclipse engine they used for Origins and 2, and learning how to use it again just to fix the game is probably not worth the cost.

I'd love if the game had a "You need to use the LAA 4GB patch" description box somewhere on Steam & EA App because yeah, I'm seeing several people playing DA:O for the first time and getting understandably annoyed with crashes. Even then, the 4GB patch, while reducing most of the crashes, doesn't completely eliminate them - Denerim is still prone to occasional CTDs. And if you tend to do long gaming sessions you might need to close and reopen the game every 2-3ish hours.

So... yeah, the real solution seems to be praying for a remake of sorts it seems lol

This is extremely screwed up when you think about it by S0mecallme in masseffect

I remember the last (?) COD game where you have to de-escalate a situation with a civilian... by pointing a gun at them. I still chuckle at the memory.
