Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is now Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Change can be scary, let me see if I can explain why this is a good thing. This is a brave and bold move that shows the team's willingness to do what it takes.

It only left you completley exposed if you...weren't playing the game right? Like for me there is such a thing as cover, movement, and also strategically setting up and utilizing your profiles in such a way where you don't have to switch them out in the middle of a fight. The only time I really felt 'completley exposed' was when I accidentally had to switch up in the middle of a fight, or it wasn't quite working for me and had to run away from a Fiend for a bit and...either died or almost died. But that was more my oopsie. 

That being said we don't know if things might've changed or not in terms of what you have mentioned. I didn't mind it TOO much and understood all their reasonings behind doing so but the aforementioned Hogwarts Legacy had no cool down time when you had to switch and its possible such things have been brought over here. 

For what it’s worth. Someone somewhere (I think I heard it in the Jackdaw stream) mentioned being able to customize the parry/dodge/whatever mechanic if you are not that used to this sort of game. However, I do not know to what extent.

I am not down on the ME style combat and largely cause it makes so much sense to streamline both series with a smaller development staff. If this system is implemented in DAVe really well it can easily be transferred over to ME 5 without too much fuss and bother and that should cut down some development time for the next ME game.

Who doesn't love a little necromancy in the bedroom?

Honestly if the plan was always to present Fen'Harel as an indept clown in the opening sequences i'm amazed the Dreadwolf name ever came to pass.

...didn't he sort of hint that there weren't companions in the original iteration?

Gotta admit, it's been a while since I've gotten an old-fashioned "git gud" response from here.

Can't write "necromancer" without "romancer".

I hate the fact that this got a chuckle out of me 

Who doesn´t want have Sex with a character who is inspired or even modeled after Vincent Price?
I really really don´t know this but i wouldn´t be surprised at all if there is erotic fan fiction or even porn of Scooby Doos Vincent van Ghoul.

I absolutely loath parry, so yeah will likely be the first time since I was a completely new player since I played on storymode.
