Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Neve's talk to my Warden about not being able to sleep was pretty poignant too. That one was where I went "oh my they going all out". You can decide what it means for your Warden and I loved that. 

It's also part of her plot! Harding outright says she always tries to be nice and peppy because she feels she has to. Her final quest choice can push her in a different direction.

Yeah. I'm sure that's why she was encouraged to be so bouncy. She just overdoes it, in my opinion. I always thought her deliveries could be slightly awkward as Liara in MET, as well. That's just my opinion, though, and I don't think she's terrible.

Speaking of Liara, I couldn't help but imagine her when Harding spoke sometimes. Was kinda funny.

In that scene, certainly. I just don't think Ali Hillis is particularly great as a VA, but didn't want to be one of those rude, online critics. In my opinion, she frequently fails to give a natural delivery of her lines. She emphasizes the wrong word in a sentence, gets the speed or cadence wrong, etc... That's just my opinion.

I think Harding is well written. I think she's merely adequately acted.

Three whole entire weeks?? Come on, dude. I just finished my first playthrough late Saturday night. I have a job, so I usually get to play only a few hours a day, and I wanted to take my time with my first playthrough. It's weird as fuck of you to decide that "playing the game" for three weeks is just an excuse. People can claim as loud as they want that the spoiler-free thread exists, but if that ending had been spoiled for me, no assurances from some random forum user could have made up for it. So I largely avoided discussion threads until I was done, and even now, I'm trying to avoid being spoiled on any Solavellan-specific events, because I just started that as my second playthrough.

But also, now that I'm browsing these threads a bit, I frankly don't want to engage here all that much. While I have criticisms of the game (as I do of any game), it's a lot more fun to discuss them with people who also loved the game like I do, or who at least enjoyed it, rather than with people who have decided that the game is shit and "no one" likes it. I don't even want to risk starting a thread for a topic I'd like to discuss, because I know I'm going to get replies trying to bring down my love for the game, and I'm just not in the mood for that shit.

It's looking like I'll have an easier time avoiding the constant negativity on the Veilguard subreddit, of all places, rather than here, and that's a damn shame.

yeah made a comment on how much I was enjoying Veilguard on another Veilguard group and started fine, then like twenty laugh reacts in a row, told I didn't have standards and that VG is a kids game next to Origins...last part especially ironic. It's brutal out there.

I will say the devs seem to be pretty quiet since launch hence not a lot of fresh meat for here specifically.

Whilst I likel ywioll b edoing a lo to fthe asme stuffon PC as I did on th eXbox as m yfirs tPC playhtrough i smostl ygoing to be testing the games performance I am lookin gforward to trying differen tthings in subsequen tplaythrough's. But atm I'm jus tglad I hav ea PC capabl eo fplaying it.

I've heard that a couple of times myself.

I'm not sure it's fair to solely blame an actor, though. They're always getting their individual lines out of context. If a particular word needs to be emphasized, someone ought to tell them that.

If I were a dev I'd be pretty despondent if a game I worked on for a decade that a virtually bug-free, stable, and all-around solid release was given this shitty reception.

That being said it's probably cause they don't want to put themselves at risk. Some fucking crazy people.
