It's not that different from Inquisition, where we start with 3 companions (enough to fill the initial party): Cassandra, Varric and Solas. The rest we roam around Ferelden and Orlais to collect, a bit farther in the story. DA2 too: Aveline/Varric/Sibling, then you get quest (except for Isabela) to recruit the rest in Act 1. There is even a bit of an order, but the game doesn't force you to recruit them in order. Inquisition had one of each class for starting companions. For DA2 the starting companions filled out the classes as well. In Veilguard there is no starting warrior companion. All the companions are ranged. In the early mage combat video some of the comments were that Rook not being able to stay at range was partly due to companion choice. Although, it may be that companions matter so little in Veilguard’s combat that companion class is unimportant.

Or, given that it's a tutorial level, the encounters we go through are specifically crafted to not overwhelm anyone, regardless of party composition.

Yeah I generally hav efound Bioware's opening levels fairl ystraightforward. The onl yissu etha tcaused me any issues and still occasionall ydoes is Andromeda as I still ocasionall yge tone of those Kett wraiths catch me by surprise on the opening level and kill me. I did have issues too when I firs tplayed Eden Prime in ME1 looking for those bombs but now I know where they are it's no longer a problem. I don' t think we start out wi thanything outside our basic combat kit in Veilguard at least not until we'v elevelled up as I thin k it's said the abilit ywheel is locked until you do .The yonl yhad it unlocked fo rthe demo with 1 power to show us how you selec tabilities in the initia lgameplay trailer.

Yes, it doesn't matter it has stopped the fall of pre-order numbers. That is importent. And maybe it was both. It might be as simple as the next month approaching. I’m still waiting for my monthly salary to come through, so I won’t be able to buy my copy until October 5th. I have had to wait till 26.09.2024. I have get my pre-order now.

I'm here just trying to remember where there were seagulls in Jaws of Hakkon I'm sure there were seagulls if Epler says there were, I just can't recall them. The divide between creators and consumers huh? They put a lot of thoughts into the craft that we don't acknowledge or even notice. Then you'd have some people complaining they didn't enjoy it even before they play the game..

I think everyone start with one active unlocked, the main core class one in the middle: - for Warrior that's the "sparta kick" - for Rogue that's the "blade spark" - for Mage that's the "fan fire blade" spell

John Epler is eternally tired @eplerjc.bsky.social general heads up, if the podcast and the game contradict each other’s lore, the game wins
the writers did an excellent job on vows and vengeance but they aren’t lore experts, and on the bw side we were focused on finishing the game so we may have missed a couple of things

I'm not thrilled by the decision, trying to depersonalize violence tends to drive me up a wall. We do see unmasked Qunari in one of those screenshots (talking to whoever they're apprehending), however depersonalization is a thing in Qunari culture. It's why they don't have proper names.
