Wait I'm sorry people who have been here for like a decade straight are *not* preordering this game?
There are some folk here who have made many thousands of posts over nearly a decade about Dragon Age who have already confirmed Veilguard is a hard pass for them. We are an eclectic community and whilst i don't share their view I respect it when civilly expressed.
I did get my preorder in, because I like seeing it sitting there...

I am waiting until mid-October or so to buy the standard edition, so I know a little bit more about the story quality and 'twitchy" gameplay before I purchase. The armor and weapon cosmetic "skins" in the deluxe edition are not worth an extra $20 for me.

There's not a lot of reason for me to preorder now the industry has decided pc players can't have physical copies (not even in the collectors edition where they're sending physical objects to you anyway), not like I'm gonna miss out playing day of due to the store running out. Only reason i pre-purchased bg3 like a month before it's release is the free deluxe upgrade came with the soundtrack (and cause the many reviews and early access videos I'd watched meant i was very confident in purchasing it anyways), i do not care about cosmetic dlc.
If you can start the download a couple of days early on pre-purchase then I'll probably buy it a few days before so I can start playing right away when i wake up on Nov 1st. By then I'll have seen the pc gameplay vid and read more previews/reviews so will probably be happier with my purchase for actually knowing what I'm getting as opposed to buying it now and then being disappointed by the gameplay. I already know i want the story though.

Almost... the "release" trailer almost convinced me to preorder. I mean... a good looking Morrigan!!! Honestly. my heart skipped a beat... Yeah Cludia love your voice...Thank goodness I did not yield to that impulse..
Besides verifying the hdw specs (specifically my Bios version) I still want to:
-see mage combat
-Game saves feature ... any number of, at specific points?, before a battle?
-Crafting... DAI's was a grind for me... too many pieces...
-Inventory management
-Loot
-PC game demo with K&M
- Is there more than one solution to a problem?
- What stops level progression?
-Is this game visually forever dark?
-What's Taash real colour?
- + I want to see what fans are able to do with the CC.
The standard version of the game is fine by me. I suspect we'll see new and better skins from NexusMods "soon" after launch. They are free...

I haven't pre-ordered yet, but there's plenty of time, and I may just wait and see if any other retailers have their own in-game bonuses as Inquisition did.
elle tchi @elenatchii i will say: if you’re trying to decide if you should upgrade your system for veilguard, lookout for the PC showcase coming soon!
but fr our performance team is awesome and they’ve done the impossible making the game run on very old PCs to make it accessible
So they DID mean Personal Computer and not Player Character.
*realizes that means Rook still isn't getting any love*
Still think Rook is an awful name for a Protagonist.... as I associate rook = chess piece, which I play the game almost daily. Rook is getting no "love" 'cause it's a thing ... a non person.
Awful, terrible, *nasty* name...
Have a hard time loving a chess piece. Terrible name as I associate the name with chess.

Claudia Black SEP @theclaudiablack Tee hee. It sucks keeping secrets. Though I wasn’t lying. I honestly thought they were done with my fave mage.
I had an NDA for #Ahsoka & #Spartacus and those were really protracted secrets to keep & I never want to be the one who gaffs it. I honestly thought DA had moved on & while I didn’t want to be the bearer of sad news it felt selfishly refreshing at the time to be able to comment
…and not string people along. Then quite a bit later they reached out and I had to shut up about it. So then apparently I don’t go on sm at all 😂. It’s been what, a year? 😱
The team was so lovely to work with - we had a lot of laughs recording it. & it’s great to be asked back bc she’s such a beloved character- by us all. It also brought back memories bc my actual son voiced Kieran and I was a vry proud mama. He is off to college in a week 🥹
John Epler is Aging Dragons @eplerjc.bsky.social am I playing our game for fun on a Friday night, I certainly am
romancing my own companion to do one last check to make sure all the conditionals work
folks it is a very strange thing
Strange indeed.
Strange is seeing Lace performing gymnastic backward somersault after going toe-to-toe with an enemy. Stranger still is her and Varric's ineffective bow/Bianca "sting". Their damage to the enemy is pitiful (gameplay trailer).
I'll pay special attention to next week's Warrior showcase trailer at higher level. Maybe the companions won't be wimps anymore.

I love the fact that her son is now going to College, which emphasises how much time has passed since he voiced Kieran. Perhaps Kieran is attending the university of Orlais by now.

Good to know should I make a change of decision in game and decide to romance Bellara instead of Neve on my first run, although Lucanis is still very tempting, so it is something I shall probably have to allow to develop naturally in game when I get to know everyone better. Everything is up in the air at the moment. Thought I was going to play a Shadow Dragon initially but now I am inclining towards Veil Jumper. I'm probably going to start with a mage but am torn between Spell Blade and Evoker for my specialism. Hopefully, we shall learn a bit more about the specialisms in August and that will allow me to finalise my decision on that front.

going to be real interesting between Neve and Bellara and probably Veil Ranger but may go Saboteur. Wonder if Mark of Death will feature.

I've also discovered when checking out new gaming PCs and even some older models that still fit the minimum spec that most of them don't seem to come with disc drives anyway, so I suppose there wouldn't be much point in issuing the game on a physical disc.
