Only a couple of hours before the embargo lifts. I definitely want to see the scores but it probably won't sway me from purchasing it. Who is taking time off of work to get some extra playtime in? Not gonna lie, I did save a couple of days of PTO once I found out the release date

Not gonna lie, I did save a couple of days of PTO once I found out the release date I will have 10 days straight for just Veilguard. I can take more if I feel like it. But I suspect 10 days should be enough to do a full playthrough and maybe even start a second one.

I hate modding on my phone. I seem to have unstickied this thread. I’ll fix it when I get home or another mod will. Whoopsy. [edit] Aargh. It’s up the top now. It’s like being in Fort Drakon in my small clothes. I want all my equipment back !! [edit} Ah, that's better...

Looking at content of reviews and not score has always been my motto. 8/10? It doesn't tell me anything useful, because it's impossible to know what reviewer's idea of 8/10 even is. A few years ago, one game I was looking at had a reviewer wrote a very positive review with zero negatives in it (not even things he didn't like about it or bugs) and then he put a 7/10 on it. Like, what? One of the reasons I do not read ANY reviews since 2016 onward and to be honest I did not much read them before that either ... I rather try the game by myself and come to conclusion. This whole review thing is now a time for me, especially all the metacritic stuff etc.

I already pre-ordered Veilguard, so I don't care about reviews for this one.

I think - for BioWare - so long as the game is an 80+ overall, that's probably a solid win for them. Of course, they'll want more, but I still believe 8/10 games are still good games overall. Only a few hours now, so we'll see. A good deal of truth here. A 7.9 is a world of difference from an 8.0 bizarrely. It may also polarise. I could see 10’s and 6’s. Yeah, I've mentioned this before, but I definitely do feel as though the art direction will be one of the more (if not THE most) polarizing aspect of this game. Subsequent to that will likely be a cessation of some of the deeper RPG mechanics (i.e. Party Control, limited to 2 companions, 3 dedicated skills, lack of keep choices, etc).

Oh I know there are bugs best wishes: QA I definitely anticipate a lot of balance changes. Hopefully, there's not banter bugs. Maybe they might tune up some of the facial animations, since that is something that I do think is a bit subpar in some of the interactions I've seen. I think would could be an interesting play for BioWare, as a free option, is if they included a multitude of new options in the character creator (periodically). Whether its new hairstyles, new skin texture features (ex. scars, tattoos, blemishes, etc), or even allowing for more distinct proportion, it could be a content delivery style unique to them that would continue to have fans making (and sharing) new characters. It could also be buttressed with new Transmog items. I don't think they would have to necessarily be loot drops in the world or stores. It could just be cosmetic-only items.

The only real worry I have is how the Inquisitor's presence is gonna actually be handled. I went from "10 years of opinionated but trying to keep my expectations in check" to "hopeful" to "not hopeful" to "bemused and confused about whether to be hopeful or not" over the course of this 2 months of marketing ramp up. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy most of the rest of the game, but if I'm gonna complain about anything, Inquisitor has a high potential to be on the list. I hope not, though. This^ 10 years of too much thinking and wondering. I expect to enjoy the game but the Inquisitor's story completion(especially Lavellan) will determine my feelings overall.

They already made some tweaks to CC, so I hope that they will provide free updates to it after the release. I also think that they really should add toggle to notifications that you get when after you make certain decisions/pick dialogue options. Personally, I don't care about it, but I can see it being annoying for a lot of people.

I hope you all don't forget that a low score doesn't equal you're not going to love the game.
I happen to love DA2 and MEA more than the other mainline titles. Some of my other favourites are the Thief reboot, XCOM The Bureau, FF8, etc all of which arguably the least popular entries in their series. But they all just have these things about them that clicked for me and just like that, outweigh all the factual, objective flaws which were universally lamented.
It's intriguing to track this for that championship excitement and/or pass the time, but please don't do this to yourself and silently assume should the game not get rated 10/10, that there's anything lost for you. Or you could only enjoy this with gritted teeth. You'll still get a whole new story with a bunch of chatty, sexy fantasy people, and we're all here to filet every plot apart together to our heart's content in here. You know that's what's gonna happen. We like games for the weirdest reasons because it's emotional art and there's nothing gained with pessimism just to conform to an internet opinion. It might still be exactly what you waited to love for 10 years despite a 60% or whatever.
Sorry for the paragon interrupt
I should go.

These games are equivalents to my books/TV shows/etc. and how I wind down. Enjoying a good story and good gameplay with some witty banter sounds like a pleasurable way to spend my (very limited) downtime.

Why anyone cares what some rando on the internet puts on some arbitrary score card will forever be a mystery to me. I don't know what scores Inquisition got, and it doesn't matter. As far as I'm concerned, that game is beyond scores. It transcends them. It gave me so many hours of enjoyment, there is no score high enough. With any luck, Veilguard will be at least half that good.

I hope the aggregated score of professional reviewers is good enough for EA not to shut down Bioware and to get them to keep making DA and ME games. I don't care about their content. I don't care about regular user reviews, either, except that I hope the anti-woke bs ones and the "Why isn't this like Origins" ones don't affect the above. The only review content I'm actually interested in spending any time reading or listening to are from Kala, Caitie, Ashe, and that whole fan council circle because they're lore, story, and character nerds like us.

What really surprised me and what i also really liked is that Dantics said: "The romance fell asexual." Keep in mind he speaks to his audience, so no real asexual but maybe weak enough for people that don't like seeing to much.
