Jez @jezcordenwe all agree it's called Dragon Age: Veilguard, right? not "The" Veilguard. Lol... I've already forgotten the " The". Every time I see DATV, I'm confused. Like... wot? Dragon Age TV???

I see two of these have already made it over from the discord but
Q: "Will Dragon Age: The Veilguard fill us in on the events and information of the books and comics that are relevant to the game? (Figured I'd ask again since it's been a day)"
Bioware_Corinne: "When relevant to the story, the right amount of information is given. There are also some references. If you want to go deep, I'd still pick up the books and comics as they are wonderful. We are not assuming you've read them though." __
Q: "do we have any information on difficulty? easy normal hard nightmare? is there additional difficulty ie trials? trial rewards?"
Bioware_Corinne: "5 difficulty presets + the ability to make a custom difficulty preset, adjusting things like timing and damage. Everyone should be able to find an experience that suits them."
Q: "My only concern about this is reducing XP for doing that. I know MLB the show does it if you adjust settings.
Hoping Bioware doesn't"
Bioware_Corinne: "Difficulty selection or modification does not affect XP or Progression rates. We just want you to play in the best, most comfortable, way you select for yourself."

For me it's DAV that's the problem, i read it as dragon age five every time. Probably would even if dragon age II hadn't already used Roman numerals.

Might have to adapt that one. DAV makes me think of 'five' so that would divide it well enough.

There's a 4K version of the gameplay video up now. Don't ask when it happened! I just hope I haven't been oblivious to it the whole time I've been taking screenshots...

why do you tempt me to rewatch it for the 3rd time... You've only watched it twice? *sits in the double digits* I am shocked that you have watched it that many times honestly. Think I am up to eleven times on the trailer they did before hand. And I'm not counting all the reaction vids I have watched watching the demo. That is probably well into the double digits now... And this is why I hate watching things because just realized this would be my fourth time.

You've only watched it twice? *sits in the double digits* Amateur. You guys are making me question my DA fan commitment. Next thing you'll know we're going to be comparing Inquisition play times and I will discover I have been extremly lacking. Though it is quite surprising and even a little bit weirdly shameful to me I don't think I've done a full DAI playthrough since like 2018 apparently? OK that did not sound right so I did double check and I guess it was 2020 afterall, that sounds a lot more likely and reasonable.

It could handle BG3 pretty well, so I'm hoping it's going to handle DAVe...

As for the Forbidden Ones - we're told there's 4 of them, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Cekorax from Tevinter Nights is one too? So it may as well be that we'll defeat them all, and then - suddenly - there's more! By pure coincidence I was just re-reading Luck in the Gardens an hour ago!
Given that 'Cekorax' is a name given to the creature by the Minrathous locals, not what it calls itself, it's completely possible that it IS the Formless One. It's an amorphous blob, after all! In which case Hollix, Dorian and Mae better not have stolen my kill .

There's a 4K version of the gameplay video up now. Maker, look at that rain . I need the PC specs and also my tax return money so I can get on with my new build. Definitely getting a new monitor, too.
Also: happy 1300 pages, everyone! Onwards to 1500 and beyond!

It's DAVe people, DAVe!!!! Also, I replayed the part where you meet Dorian in Redcliff for In Hushed Whisper and what he says there makes me think something after Inquisition/Trespasser tried to do some time magic in Arlathan forest and screwed up... This game info is all over the place. I've been wondering what the resource for Warrior was and it's called Rage. I found it in an article I haven't seen before while trying to find another article I read last week. Rogue momentum: build via attacking, dodging, parrying and lose some when hit. Warrior rage: build more slowly, but they don't lose any on hit. Another article I saw mentioned that Rogue had the resource that built the fastest of the 3. Link?
The Rogue resource build fastest I don't remember where it's from.

Link? The Rogue resource build fastest I don't remember where it's from. Thanks! There is also a unique flourish to combat that makes it distinct. Rogues (the Rook of our demo) use Momentum, which relies on landing hits without taking any, aided by bigger and faster dodges. Warriors use Rage, which raises through active involvement in battle, meaning landing or parrying attacks, and Mages use Mana, which we didn’t get to see - but given Mages have always used Mana I assume that’s a more standard cooldown system for spells. There are a few tidbits in this one too... www.techradar.com/gaming/dragon-age-the-veilguard-preview-sgfHowever, there are some particularly neat examples in combat where your player’s move set can enable them to perfectly parry a projectile or deploy a special ability to rush through multiple enemies. These help string together swift attacks that can have you deleting enemies in a flash. Your playable character will have an energy bar of some type - linked to the class; mana for mages, rage for warriors, momentum for rogues - which helps govern your use of skills. This not only adds an extra layer of strategy in terms of being selective with how you spend it, but also a tactical awareness of how best to build it back up again by attacking enemies safely and effectively. You’ll need to be selective and tactical when enemies get larger and more dangerous as they might have more than just a health bar. Some foes will have ‘ guard’ and some will have ‘ armor’ - and some elite baddies will have both. These can be ground down with regular attacks but you’re far better off picking the right tool for the right job; r anged attacks for barrier and heavy attacks for armor.

Trying to catch up with some of the more recent news. Has it been confirmed that it was only 2 that were let loose or were they all set free?
