Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gameplay Reveal Disappoints Fans
Five minutes before the gameplay reveal for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there was still hope that it would be a game to love. Despite the challenges faced by BioWare, including internal reboots, layoffs, and a name change, fans were eagerly anticipating the reveal. However, after seeing 20 minutes of action combat and theatrical cutscenes, it became clear that the game may not be what fans were hoping for.
One fan, Joshua Wolens, described the game as becoming more like a Mass Effect game rather than the Dragon Age experience fans were expecting. The disappointment was palpable, especially when compared to the successful modern take on RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3.
The gameplay reveal left fans feeling that The Veilguard is less of an RPG than ever before, lacking the depth and character development that made the series so beloved. While there may still be hope for the game to deliver on its promise of political intrigue and compelling characters, many fans are left feeling disappointed by the direction BioWare has taken with the franchise.
Ultimately, it may be time for fans to let go of their attachment to the Dragon Age series and explore other RPG options like Baldur’s Gate 3, which has successfully captured the essence of a modern RPG while staying true to its roots.
