Bioware hate is a reflex in various corners of the internet. They're too woke, or they ruined my favorite franchise, or whatever else the beef is. It's bizarre, but there's folks who get genuinely angry at others having different tastes and opinions, at a particular piece of media maybe not being for them.
Aah... is it hate or an acknowledgement that they don't like the direction the game is going? I complain that Bio nerfed the Mage. Is that hate or a legitimate expression of dislike?
The latter.

Game Informer @gameinformerDuring our trip to BioWare for the current Dragon Age: The Veilguard cover story, we spoke to the game's directors about classes, factions, how they're integrated into the narrative, and more. Here's what we learned: bit.ly/3KZkh5N

Minor spoilers about faction, otherwise sounds mostly boring safe.

I'll call it spoiler safe because there is no specific story spoilers in there, but the game has faction reputation and they explain a bit how that works which might count as spoiler for some people I guess.
And the Lords of Fortune do not have the bonus I was expecting, but confirms takedowns are a thing...also faction reputation, lol.

Interesting thing about the Lighthouse hub and to do with your rook and changing them (spoiler boxing just in case). It says the mirror of transformation can change your 'lineage' which is what they're calling races in Veilguard isn't it? You can change your race? Unless I have that wrong.

This stood out more to me If you find yourself unhappy with your lineage or your class, you can change them using the Mirror of Transformation, found in the main Veilguard hub, The Lighthouse. You can also change your Rook's visual appearance there, too.So it's not just visual anymore. You can change your race AND class. Edit: Damn you fistoffiori. You beat me by a hair (Shakes fist violently)

I think the article is pretty safe. It does offer a little insight on the factions having a role in the game beyond Rooks and the companions.
Also, it seems possible the Reaper spec might be able to dual wield weapons.

I'm surprised they're allowing that much change with the Mirror of Transformation. Doubt I'll use anything beside potential look change (would feel strange to change lineage mid-pt), but the more options the better I suppose for those who want to use them.

the game has faction reputation I wonder if that will work similar to Greedfall where you have an approval level with each faction that can increase/decrease based on your choices throughout the game

Soooo... can we have a wardrobe to switch between different clothing at our hub? Pretty please?
An extra bonus if we can have a "casual" hairstyle/makeup and once for when we are out in the field.

The idea of potential faction rep intrigues me.
The idea of being able to change race and class is weird, but as the Doom twitter account said back in the lead-up to Eternal's release, we control the buttons we press.

Yeah that´s a bit strange but no deal breaker. By the way i have a feeling that its just a Mirror of Transformation without Xenon. So i guess he and his emporium shop won´t be back. But this would also be fine. Edit: But hey finally the Mirror of Transformation is in the base game not months later in a to be fair free dlc like in DAI.

FYI there was a correction in the article.
[Editor's Note: This article previously stated players can change their physical appearance, class, lineage, and identity using the Mirror of Transformation. That is incorrect as class, lineage, and identity are locked after you first select those. The article has been updated to reflect that, and Game Informer apologizes for any confusion this mistake may have caused]
Corrected paragraph:
If you want to make changes to your character's physical appearance, you can do that with the Mirror of Transformation, found in the main Veilguard hub, The Lighthouse. However, class, lineage, and identity are locked in and cannot be changed after you select them in the game's character creator.
I'd have been surprised if they let you change lineage or class. Not sure what identity is. Could be the background?

And that's my main gripe about this mechanic including BG3. Any choice you make will get approval from one or two and disapproval from another two or three and neutral from others. From my understanding of what Corrine said, some choices presented to the protagonist will have some serious after effects with some crew members.... and done deliberately on top of that.
Look, I expect as the team leader to concentrate on mission objectives and not to also baby sit some hurt feelings from the squad. Egads, must I now also be a psychologist?

You CANNOT change class, lineage, and identity – those are locked after you select them in the character creator. Wesly LeBlanc made this correction.
EDIT: Mirror of Transformation will only allow you to change your physical appearance.

So, from what I can tell, this article really didn't add anything we didn't already know right?
I wish I could be more interested in the Warrior specs, but none of the specializations really appealed to me. Guess it's going to be mage or rogue again! If I do mage I'm thinking the elemental one, for rogue... the veil ranger sounds enticing, but I did an archer last game and want to spice it up, so I guess perhaps the saboteur could be interesting? Duelist seems pretty straight forward.
