Dragon Age The Veilguard Criticism Thread (formerly Skepticism Thread) [Spoilers]

I have been a big Bioware fan since KOTOR. The Mass Effect Trilogy is literally my favourite game series of all time. I also love Baldurs Gate 2, Dragon Age Origins and KOTOR. DA2 and Inquisition still had lots of good writing too despite some flaws.

Andromeda was the first game where I thought the writing was very immature and weak, like made to appeal to the tumblr crowd. Just awful but since it wasn't made by the main team I thought it was a one time thing.

But holy shit this has to be the worst written Bioware game by far if the whole game has such cringe dialogue (and according to skillup it has). The worst offender is easily Tash, I watched some of the 26 minutes video and it was atrocious. So heavy handed and preachy.

I can't believe this is the same writer who delivered on arcs like Rannoch and Trespasser and characters like Mordin and Solas. The "romantic" scene with Harding is not better,fanfiction writers could do better. The tone is so immature, just like in Andromeda. Getting rid of any player agency is horrible too, you can only be a cliche good guy kissing everyone's ass. How is this an RPG, there is no roleplaying.

Honestly I may be overdramatic but I am just shocked and have been following this forum for some time and had to register to say this. I thought people who whined about the old Bioware being dead back when ME3 or DA2 came out were being silly but I think Bioware is really dead now. For me at least. Maybe the younger generation prefers this
