I suppose now all we need is an update on the CC. Last we heard it was TBD, yes? Surely they must know by now if it's something they can do. Even if it's no. I can handle a no. At least it's an answer. Yeah, it was still TBD. I still have my fingers crossed they can make this happen. Even if it landed just a few days before launch. Agreed! These are pretty much the two main conditions I need confirmation on before I pre-order: early access CC and download. If it's one or the other, then that's a no-go mostly because the armor sets that come with look pretty mid. Blood Dragon armor unoriginal as hell, and I only like Rook's warrior helmet for the deluxe edition.

It would be nice to spend the time waiting for release recreating the Wardens and Hawke so I can jump right into creating Rook and recreating the Inquisitors. We could all spend time showing our rooks off till launch. People could post creation codes and pics on social media. Really it’s a bit of a marketing no brainer with how detailed the thing is. If they weren’t considering it before we asked, I’d be surprised. Are you trying to manifest something Hrungr ? I.. I don’t…. Why does that image exist? D: And why do you have it on hand? XD

...we can look forward to ME5. Though, the EXODUS ( made by ME vets) game characters far outstrip ME and DA4 ones in terms of looks. EXODUS chars are the ones I originally expected to see in DA4, given today's graphic capabilities. - - - -
Now, when will the Metacritic reviews come out? User reviews, however, is more important to me. I think it's some years now since BioWare announced that Mass Effect 5 would be on Unreal 5. I'm unsure what engine Exodus utilises. I would also be unsurprised if this was Frostbite's last Dragon Age game. The multiple re-starts wouldn't have helped. As for metacritic user scores, I totally expect aggressive review bombing because of 'woke DEI garbage' type reasons, so I'm not convinced that such ratings will be accurate or rational.

Game engine for EXODUS is UE5. As to "garbage" reasons, I agree with you, though in DA4 gender = woman or gender = man is plain silly. There is no reason for Bio to invent their own language. .... My grammar teacher would have a fit. Bio inclusivity mantra is half ass as the CC restricts physical body attributes. You want inclusivity? Then give me beautiful / handsome Elven / human faces and the body slider to have a wider range. That is inclusivity. Some of the best Qunari can be seen in the concept art.
As to FB, my thoughts are that EA bows to investor needs which is profits and ever increasing company share value. So Min. cost and Max profit is key. They already started by splitting the Sports franchise from their other Games with their accounting method. What is interesting is Bio's decision (with EA approval, I'm sure) to use the Unreal Engine for ME5. Perhaps the reasons are twofold. Graphics and modding capabilities... the latter extends the life of the game and its appeal = free advertising.
We can ignore the values from the Metacritic User scores from the" DEI column". That leaves the real user scores. Though, BIO/EA took a chance with their half ass inclusivity method. Total inclusivity would mitigate the negative, imo.

Well, Bio/EA were aware of this possibility. Bio figured their game will far outpace the expected bombing of idiots. However, game review websites aren't truly objective either, imo.
I'll go on record that the Metacritic score will be 7.0 - 7.5. Anything below that is very troublesome for Bio.

Somewhat cartoonist looking character aside, Veilguard looks like the first time they've really mastered the engine. With that in mind it seems a bit strange to throw it out for Unreal at this point.

I am happy they are not using Frostbite for the next Mass Effect and hope they don’t use it for the next Dragon Age.
Frostbite might now be able to do more realistic hair, but the faces also need to look good, not just the hair.

I do kind of feel that at this point the DA team has put so much work into creating and improving their tools and learning the ins and outs of Frostbite (I think DAtV's graphical gorgeousness [spare me the art design commentary... that's a deliberate creative choice], environmental scale, and gameplay snappiness and smoothness is proof positive that they have), that sticking with it instead of undergoing yet another engine reset and learning curve process is the way to go. But who knows what the devs in the trenches really feel. I imagine some want to stick with it, and others don't. The issues BW had with it at first are now legendary, but I wonder what the general consensus is NOW. *not so subtly puts out the Luke signal*
