Depends entirely on how confident Bioware are of the game. The previews were already pretty showing, I don't think I've heard of many previews where you get to play for a whole 6 hours. I've heard similar (regarding previews length and sentiments). We'll see. Speaking of previews and revealing more than people should - apparently, despite NDA, there’s a massive spoiler floating around Twitter. I have no clue what’s this about, but apparently the spoiler is contained in save file name from the preview, so anyone who wants to avoid it must steer clear from anything that looks like a save list on purple background.

Curious when they'll start sending review codes out. My gut says long review window. Early review embargo. We'll see soon enough.

It's very early to be gold. DAI went gold at Oct. 31st, 18 days before launch. It used to be games went gold a month before release because that was the timeframe to print the disks.

Premieres in 3 days? I assume he knew it’d be announced within that time, so he set it to premiere with a ‘worst case’ scenario in mind. It was also uploaded (for members?) 3 days ago.

No, not that one. The one with the save file names.

Here you go: Thank you!
Attack movement are quite a lot. This is first time I see Rook use this attack. I assume this is charge attack for orb.
Also Mind blast is technigue that I still don't saw anyone use. If you guy found one, please let me know.
Only from the Skill Tree previews:

About the CC: From Bio's marketing language I expected more.
Currently not a fan. Video below shows the CC. Sliders are moved back and forth to show the char model change shape. Not happy with the default char model and the very limited body morphs. SO far I have no clue how to make a young athletic looking Q protagonist. Content creator here believe we will bang on Baldy's couch.....
Time stamps: Q forehead - 0:0:33 Q body - 0:3:50 KB&M - 0:7:18 Broken nose - 00:20:13 Body art - 00:36:05
[/spoiler] [/div]
EDIT: Too bad there isn't a preview mode before saving

Not to rain on anyone's parade but I very much doubt we'll ever get the character creator standalone. The only reason we got one with DAO was because Bioware owned the Eclipse engine. Now so many little bits of game engines are licensed out for stuff like hair or lighting that it's probably not possible to get permission for that to be released in that manner, or worth Bioware's time unfortunately.

Frostbite belongs entirely to EA. Hair technology, AFAIK, belongs to them too. Maybe it's more a matter of work being put into making separate CC work with the game.

I could be wrong on this, so disclaimer.
I think what ends up happening is bits of tech are licensed from more specialist sources that focus on different areas, hair or lighting being the examples, and added onto the tech inside Frostbite for an individual game. What tech and how it's used is up to each games developers on what they think looks good or adds to ease of overall game development.

But even if we assume that, Veilguard CC isn't a separate game, even if we got access to CC earlier than Oct 31st.

They've said before that there is a way to save your created characters to use later. Have we seen that system in work yet? Do we know if you have to start the game and view the first cutscene before your character is saved, or is there a "save character" button before you load into the game proper?

Do we know if you have to start the game and view the first cutscene before your character is saved, or is there a "save character" button before you load into the game proper? I wouldn't be surprised if there was autosave feature right after we leave CC. Anyway, I actually did see the import feature in CC in one of the videos from preview (no idea which vid it was tho, there were so many I watched lately) - the preview came with several premade characters with which those invited to the event played later sections of the game, and a window opened that allowed those in CC to import everything about that premade character, including class and background they picked. So, I assume that this is how we'd import characters from pre-launch CC: it will create a save that we can import the data from once we're loaded into CC in full game. That is, if we'd gain access to CC before launch. I really wouldn't be surprised if most of the issues with releasing it didn't stem from anything related to licensing, but the effort needed in order to separate CC from the base game, and then make it all work.
