yesterday we were at #120 sales today at #100. It seams the Tokio showcase helps. I'd say it's more Shadows being delayed until February, but there is no way to know why.

Not great that you canโt pick the order you get the companions. All female and also mage heavy. Normally I would like a mage heavy team, but not with Veilguardโs combat. Also canโt stand Bellara. Wish I had the option to not recruit her. I liked how BG3 did it where you got most of the companions at the start, so you could take the mix of characters you liked best. That works well for BG3, since everyone fell off the same boat, so to speak. In Veilguard, I expect that we might be collecting companions from across the continent. We have to start the game somewhere, and so some will be available sooner. It's not really clear whether the order of missions will be pre-determined or player-determined. We can only guess. 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.

There is even a bit of an order, but the game doesn't force you to recruit them in order.

It might be as simple as the next month approaching. Iโm still waiting for my monthly salary to come through, so I wonโt be able to buy my copy until October 5th.

I really was waiting for this game , all the stuff showed had me hyped... until I've seen that what we can choose between the Inquisition choices is limited to only 3 options. I can get behind of Inquisition disbanded or honor guard, redeem or kill Solas ... but for my Inquisitors who romanced Cullen and Cassandra? I get the point of having the Sollavelan closure, but what if an Inquisitor who romanced someone else? We get to have a convo with Solas about it before slapping him ๐คฃ ? At this point I will wait to buy the game . The hype went down. I've seen many of the comments reflect many of my inner feelings, so I won't delve into why I am so annoyed and angry about the meager 3 choices. But... setting up who Inquisitor romanced is one of the 3 choices we got. I know. I was in a hurry, so I wasn't able to explain in detail. I am mad because we don't get to choose who drunk from the Well , who is Divine, and what about the Wardens we save or banish to Weisshaupt? Since, you know? We kinda have a Warden Origin and there's a major quest involving the Fortress? And it will be even more " awesome " if after all the havoc the venatori brought to South Thedas and Coryfeus they won't mention anything. ๐

what about the Wardens we save or banish to Weisshaupt? That one is unified in DAI ending slides, both the banished and recruit Wardens go to Weisshaupt and both ending slides mentioned rumors of issues back there.

Some people take the "only 3 choices tracked" to mean nothing of DAI (or DAO/DA2) will be mentioned in VG and it's super wierd. Those games have more static content than content with choices that can be referenced. Just like Varric always mention the Champion of Kirkwall and the event of Legacy even if you never played DA2 (or Legacy) in DAI.

We kinda have a Warden Origin and there's a major quest involving the Fortress? And it will be even more " awesome " if after all the havoc the venatori brought to South Thedas and Coryfeus they won't mention anything. ๐ Okay... why do some people act as if our choices not being referenced means not only that suddenly all our un-referenced choices are invalidated (even though Epler explained that not referencing a thing in DAVe doesn't mean that the choice from past game is now moot), but that major story beats (like beating Corypheus) will suddenly not be a thing? I don't get it. You're talking about some things that aren't in any way dependent a choice and existence of separate permutations We always beat Corypheus. We always kick Venatori out of the South. Just like we always get Varric present, regardless of our friendship status in Inquisition. Nevermind that we really don't know how this story will go - will referencing our choices even make sense? It's not just that we're now mostly roaming North of Thedas and dealing with a sudden and immediate danger to the world - 10 years have passed, and many past choices of Inquisitor, like what to do with Wardens, may have ultimately not mattered that much, as many other things probably happened in the meantime. And again - the fact that we don't get to pick choices when customizing Inquisitor doesn't necessarily mean that we can't set them up later through in-story interactions. Dunno if it will happen, but it's not a far-fetched assumption - particularly because setting them up in story means we can't spoil ourselves early. While I really like the Keep, I'm aware why it was designed the way it was: the many choices in the Keep actually helped obscure which choices would be relevant in Inquisition - since they've decided to go the offline route and not involved the Keep, it meant either making people go through setting up the ENTIRE Keep in the game, or focus on choices relevant to the story, which basically means immediate spoilers. That way we only get to quickly set up 3 choices that we already knew were going to be relevant (thanks to Trespasser and what they revealed about the Veilguard), while other minor things could potentially be set up in the story, when they actually are relevant or are to become relevant (IF they ever become relevant).
