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

inb4 Loghain shows up. They seemed to determined to take a giant steamy one on the lore of this once great series. 

To be fair, if that's Meredith, I think her return already happened in some comic or whatever, which to be fair again, doesnt make it any better...

I think it can make for good conversations when it comes to the concept of, "Fate," and whether any decisions you make can go against it. I think I would have preferred more variation on the ending with DA2 more than anything though.

Shepard commit's genocide? What is this genocide you speak of?

In regard's to Anne being tortured? It was her idea and was willing to do whatever to stop Leviathan

Shoot's and kill A/K? While I'm not a fan of how it was setup, A/K refused to stand down. No matter the situation, it's up to the player to prevent that either through dialogue or an interrupt.

Sabotaging the genophage is the correct action. Why? It get's more resources to deal with the reapers. When facing Wrex, the stupid krogan uses his shotgun like he did on Virmire to get what he want's. What an idiot. The funny part is him mentioning "or do you think I'm dumb as my brother". Sorry Wrex you're the dumb one. If you had any brains at all, you would have kept that audio file in your back pocket for later. After the reapers have been defeated, you have proof Shepard didn't hold up his/her end of the deal. It would be up to the council what course of action to take.

Letting the council die is the right choice. It's also a choice I would not have Shepard be making. I would have left it up to Hackett since he see's the state of the battle. But I mostly put the blame on the commander of the destiny ship. Once the council is onboard, have the ship leave the area getting the council to safety. That didn't happen. She failed her duty.

My Shepard liked working with Cerberus. They were willing to whatever to deal with the collectors. What would the circus, I mean the Alliance, have done? Then you have King clown anderscum telling Shepard it's up to him/her to deal with the reapers. **** him. He never cared. The Alliance never cared.

Rook doesn't have any shoes to fill. Be him/herself, but at the same time don't be a lame duck like the one in MEA.

For everyone who wishes to see the final 'best moments' of the game (without doling out any money). Here played on PS5.
