The Good and Woke of Dragon Age: The Veilguard!
-----------------------------------------------



Hey Everyone! Let’s Dive into Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

Today, we’re gearing up to explore the enchanting world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard! But before we jump in, I must give you a heads-up: spoiler discussions will be lurking later on! Don’t worry, I’ll give you another warning before we go there. For now, let’s kick things off with a spoiler-free discussion!

The Heart of the Game: Gameplay!
First things first: let’s talk about the most crucial element of any game—the gameplay! This time around, the gameplay is built on a completely different set of core pillars compared to previous Dragon Age titles. Instead of the traditional tactical approach, the game opts for an action-packed, flashy style reminiscent of modern hits like God of War and Assassin’s Creed.

The combat is incredibly smooth, delivering that sweet impact you crave, and let me tell you, it’s a ton of fun! BUT—there’s a catch!

A Word of Caution: Difficulty Levels
Here’s the deal: to truly enjoy the combat mechanics, you’ll want to play on the easier difficulties. Why? Because as you progress, enemies become incredibly spongy, which can really dampen the excitement on higher difficulty levels. Trust me on this one—stick to the lower difficulties, and you’ll be thanking me later! 🙏

Unleash Your Potential!
But wait, there’s more! In addition to swinging and throwing your weapons, you gain access to special abilities from both you and your companions, allowing for some seriously devastating combos and that extra sweet damage!

The skill menu is packed with numerous stat increases and some visually stunning abilities, making it a rewarding experience to unlock and enhance your skills. Overall, it’s shaping up to be pretty fantastic!

Diving into the Story of Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Spoiler-Free!)

Now, let’s take a moment to explore the story—and let me tell you, it’s definitely worth your time! Don’t get me wrong; it may not reach the iconic heights of Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II, and it certainly isn’t as dark and brutal as its predecessors. However, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad story at all!

Think of it like an Avengers or a classic Marvel movie—it’s all about enjoying the ride! Immerse yourself in the vibrant world that Bioware has meticulously crafted, and you might just stumble upon surprises that even you didn’t see coming!

So buckle up and get ready for an adventure that promises to be both engaging and entertaining. There’s a lot to discover, and trust me, it’s going to be a thrilling journey!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Discovering the Stunning World of Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

Let’s dive into the world—and wow, just wow! The visuals are absolutely breathtaking, packed with intricate details and countless secrets waiting to be uncovered! From special chests to hidden boss fights, there’s no shortage of surprises around every corner.

You’ll find yourself completely immersed in the stunning landscapes that Bioware has crafted. Honestly, I sometimes lose track of time just wandering through the enchanting forests because they are simply gorgeous!

I’m giving a 10 out of 10 for world design—it’s just that phenomenal! Like, seriously... damn!

Level Design: Fun with a Twist!
Now, let’s talk about the level design—it’s a blast overall! However, there’s one little hiccup that raises an eyebrow: Who in their right mind thought, “This is a great idea!”?

While the game throws some puzzles your way to keep things interesting, it sometimes feels like they were designed by a toddler with crayons. I mean, come on! Picking up a shiny ball from one spot and placing it in a socket across the room isn’t exactly brain-bending!

And just a heads-up: the puzzles don’t get any more complex; they just seem to stretch on longer for the same simple tasks. It can really make you feel a bit, well... less than clever at times!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Exploring the Character Creator: Unleash Your Imagination!

Wow, let’s talk about the Character Creator! I can’t help but feel positively thrilled about it! 🎉 You have the power to create whoever you want—the possibilities are practically endless!

Tons of Options: The customization is incredibly open, allowing you to craft a character that truly reflects your vision.

Edit Anytime: And here’s the best part—you can edit everything, even while you’re in the middle of the game! If something doesn’t sit right with you, just change it on the fly!
This level of flexibility means your character can evolve just like your adventure! So, dive in and let your creativity run wild!

The Journey Through Dragon Age: The Veilguard—Length and Technical Brilliance!
When we dive into the length of this incredible game, let me tell you—it’s definitely worth your time! ⏳ Completing everything, from side missions to collectibles, took me a whopping 69 hours—and yes, I’m chuckling because that’s just too perfect!

Minor Spoiler Discussion: A Big Problem with The Veilguard!

Alright, folks, let's dive into a fiery topic that’s been burning in my mind! I have one HUGE issue with The Veilguard, and it revolves around a character named Taash (or whatever they call them). Now, before you jump to conclusions about me, let me clarify: I have NO problem with non-binary characters. My concern lies in how and where this is presented!

Having elements like this thrown into the mix outside of a character creator in a Dragon Age game feels utterly out of place! This has never been a discussion point before, so suddenly acting like it's always been part of the lore? Absolutely not!

And can we talk about how this is being shoved down our throats? It feels like a prank or a tasteless joke—especially since Taash is probably the most unlikable character I’ve encountered in the series!

Honestly, Dragon Age: The Veilguard could have soared to a 9 if it weren’t for this character! It would have sold better and avoided the backlash it’s facing right now.

I mean, I couldn’t help but laugh when their mother got hit in the face with a rock! Talk about a memorable moment!
