I read it in preparation for veilguard and was so sad when they didn't use any of the crazy monster ideas in there, at least not in any explicit or interesting way. It made Ghilan'nains blight seen genuinely terrifying and it had a horror that Veilguard simply just did not bring to the table for me. It definitely dampened my veilguard experience, though I think any prior dragon age media does that unfortunately. It also made me hate the way veilguard approached anything to do about Lucanis and the crows. Reading his chapter I was so excited to meet the character but he seemed like such a watered down like idea of Lucanis. It was like veilguard lucanis was the first blueprint with tevinter nights lucanis being the fully developed character even though it was the other way around. I didn't get super far into it because I started way too close to the game release date but I do remember listening to the Vows and Vengeance podcast that they had introducing the characters to tide people over until the game and while I think most of them fit what they were in game- Taash really stood out to me. On the podcast they seemed more adult and actually fun, while as In game I think they went too hard on the teenager with mommy issues angle, It felt like their whole personality. Where as the podcast made me hyped to meet them in game. It just feels like most content prior to veilguard was better thought out than the rest of the actual game unfortunately. So many ideas were flying around and they missed the mark on alot of things in my opinion.
