The CC is fine to me. It's definitely nothing special but it's better than many imo. I don't even think Rook's head is too big. He looks perfectly well proportioned to me. Lucanis on the other hand has such a big head and everything about him looks cartoony stocky. Same for Bellara. I think Harding looks fine head-wise. Unsure about Neve. Haven't met the others yet.
It's just such a shame that once my pretty normal looking Rook from the CC gets the airbrush treatment in cutscenes. The skin is not very detailed. The closer the game zooms in the more you see how not great textures are.
Like most CCs a lot of the sliders do little. Or they only make your character look worse. Bethesda games have taught me not to stray from certain default sliders because they are usually the ideal proportions. Of course if you want to make a less model perfect looking character there are plenty of ways to make them uglier/more interesting.
I didn't touch 70% of the sliders. Eye shape was pretty disappointing. Other than that I was happy enough with the options given. My dude looks super buff, his arms are large. He was supposed to be an archer after all. There's definitely a lot more muscle definition than with the muscular build in Fallout 4.
So the CC is something I won't give BioWare crap for.

I also heard many people are getting the game through EA Pro Pass which as I understand is way cheaper than steam. Yes, that's how Nuhre got her copy - 20$ good for a month. So you pay for that, download and play the game then uninstall and get a refund before the month is done. She already got her copy refunded. She was streaming it dressed as a clown for the occasion and practically broke down in front of us.

While I dont think the game should get DLC for various reasons, the fact that its not getting DLC has been announced way before launch. I think ir was MrMatty that asked that of the director and the answer was a straight - no DLC, the game will come out as a full experience without plans for more. On the plus side I like how they've pivoted straight to ME5  I've heard it's a good writer heading it up and Gamble has already gone on record saying that it won't be like Veilguard in its appearance. These are good developments, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm still scared to death about it.

This is the actual first time in which a Bioware game just isn't for me (I pretend Anthem doesn't exist, it is MP after all). I'm seeing MEA as a way more attractive game than this one, flaws and all. I'm sorry but I just prefer the ME aesthetics in which women are goddesses and men are gigachads. I'm pissed that they're making me say this, but Andromeda is the better title by a country mile. Yes, Ryder is every bit as nice and agreeable as Rook, but Ryder has some moments when he can say and do some straight up renegade shit. These moments are few and far in between, but they are there. The companions are also better and at least three of them are adults. The tone is light, but not nearly as Disney as Veilguard has been. The combat is arguably the best in the franchise(I'm a mecoop guy so I'm biased here). The only really distinguishing factor in Veilguard's favor is that the end is supposedly very good. TBH, it's not Renegade shit that bothers me. I've found a lot of the Renegade stuff was little more than being a jackass, a holdover from KoToR. However, I will say that the jackass options give texture to the character in the fact that they are available and then willfully ignored. It says something about someone when they take up a Tevinter magister to slay a bunch of innocent elves for a blood magic ritual, but it also says something about another who is offered the ritual and refuses it.

There was a scene where Taash says "The Qun is not a prison, you can leave when you want." The Qun has re-education camps and magically lobotomizes you. Not anymore apparently. Too "problematic", much like the original retcon involving Krem and being a warrior that half of this forum bent itself into a pretzel trying to insist wasn't a retcon.

The writers needed another type of bad guys for the player to fight. That's the only explanation When the game was first announced i assumed we'd have some sort of TW3 situation. Trying to stop Solas whilst navigating a war zone between Tevinter and the Qunari. man, not even my best estimates of this game ever came close to that. Why in the world would your brain put TW3 and DA in the same thought?

But no DLC announcement before the game was out? Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate the "this is a full game, we won't make you pay extra for deliberately cut content" message. I approve of that. Selling Javik as DLC was an insult, shouldn't have happened. Still, why not wait and see how the game does and see if there's demand for more content? Obviously they can change their minds and do DLC after all. But I don't quite understand what's going on. Could be they want to move on to ME5 as quickly as possible? It's been a while since MEA too after all. |

The shit the Qunari and their religion are up to is the kind that would make my ultra-ruthless Warden or Shepard say "what the fuck is wrong with these people?!?" Such a disappointment that they whitewashed the Qun of all things |

It's been a while since MEA too after all. Cynically, It appears to be rather simple. They knew what they had. They knew what it was and wanted to get it out and cut their losses. No doubt they'll spin another narrative or shift entirely away from Dragon Age like an unwanted child in the coming weeks. And hey, if Veilguard turns out to be a runaway success they can revisit and explore their options. Maybe a griffon armor dlc or some other short work grift while they focus on what they'll do with Mass Effect.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a lore explanation as to why warriors seem to have magical abilities in this game? Luckily it's cool, so it's not a deal breaker, but why? Because when you push a button, something awesome has to happen

On the plus side I like how they've pivoted straight to ME5 I've heard it's a good writer heading it up and Gamble has already gone on record saying that it won't be like Veilguard in its appearance. These are good developments, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm still scared to death about it. They also said the original Veilguard trailer wasn't indicative. Why would we believe anything they say at this point?

No chance to tell Krem "You're a woman, that's fine."

That's why I think Inquisition was a teaser to a lot of the BS we are seeing now, including the lack of evil RP options, more sanitized story and retcons to push an agenda. People tried to ignore it because it had some remnants of good writing and open world back then was trendy no matter how shitty. Honestly if Inquisition just came one year after its release it would have been trashed since TW3 would have overshadowed it completely. Bioware got lucky there. Veilguard meanwhile comes out a year after BG3 which was a masterpiece so Bioware is getting trashed more even than usually.

As someone who never played BG3 due to the lore changes, I respectfully disagree. I don't think BG3 coming out sank Veilguard. I think Veilguard would've failed if BG3 didn't exist.

These are good developments, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm still scared to death about it. Another rumour (please take this with a heavy dose of salt), Mike Gamble seems to be the last bastion of based decisions at Bioware. As in he is reportly trying to keep all the "nonsense" out of the next Mass Effect and is focused on delivering good story and overall good game without wasting time and resources on the stuff that Veilguard has been catering to. Its EA/Bioware, so always expect a degree of it either way. But lets cross fingers that after this crash and burn EA will let him cook properly and without interference. Unfortunately, even if rumour is true, Gamble has an uphill battle as Bioware seems to be shock full of people who only care about self inserts and making sure everyone knows who they identify as sexually. (As Cassandra would put it: Urgh) So yeah. I expect Mass Effect is going to be another trainwreck, but at least Ill be here to watch it still. Who knows, 4th time is the charm maybe? *inhales hopium It seems they are trying to tie in Andromeda to the Milky Way somehow? I hope they dont. Just leave the Initiave 600 years in the future and forget about them. Trying to tie all in will just make things messier and constrict whatever story they have in the works for the Milky Way.

And according to what i've seen of the endings (dont worry i wont spoil anything) it does seem like a contained story with a proper ending. Andromeda on the other hand, had a DLC planned even before launch. There is still one Ark missing in the base game. The Quarian Ark was supposed to be the DLC and it actually felt like an interesting story since you get that criptic message at the end of game. A shame EA put the game on ice. I actually believe that if they were given time to relase DLCs and improve the whole experience, the end result would have been much better than what we got. Andromeda is a subpar game, but considering it was put together in 18months, i wonder what it could have been given the proper time to cook. And i do remember having a lot of fun with the combat in that game, plus it looked gorgeous. And Drack. I liked Drack quite a lot. Older version of Wrex. Peebee and Liam tho, wish i could just send them on a treasure hunt to the escape pod and press the red button.

Report from the trenches: - I've now, unfortunately, met the Southern Califorgnaga Nerdy-but-Quirky stand-in. I think I'll just call her 'Gnagna' from now on; - I keep forgetting their ME inspired wheel thingy (TAB) in combat, so when the Ogre cornered me at the end of the Arlathan segment, I almost croaked; - We're back at the Jumpers' camp, where everybody repeats incessantly the exposition blurbs of everybody else... Christ this will become tiresome fast... (If Weekes used to be a competent writer, under other people's direction, he's definitely not cut out to lead a writing crew if this pre-masticated stuff is all they can manage); - I find I can't take this only in small doses; that's how I'll be able to plow through it; - Here's another picture to illustrate what the re-shader does. Notice how most of the glow is gone from around the menu choices. It makes the whole experience less nausea inducing. And yes Kappa, the regular lighting really does increase the Pixar/Disney effect on characters.  |

Come on man, you know thats asking for too much. We cant go back to the MW, because they adamantly refuse to address The Problem. So the game has to take place IN Andromeda. The premise of the game will be The Initiative built a Mass Relay that connects back to the MW (insert magical technobabble explanation that sets the Lore on fire like the "Geth Telescope") But due to some contrived reason, for the duration of the game, it won't work after Liara uses it to arrive in Andromeda to see how progress is going. If Mike proves me wrong and we actually go back to the MW? I literally will not have the words to describe my shock and amazement.

Andromeda is a subpar game, but considering it was put together in 18months, i wonder what it could have been given the proper time to cook. And i do remember having a lot of fun with the combat in that game, plus it looked gorgeous. And Drack. I liked Drack quite a lot. Older version of Wrex. Peebee and Liam tho, wish i could just send them on a treasure hunt to the escape pod and press the red button. They had 8 years. They wasted 6 and half of them trying to make No Man's Sky, something I would have never played to begin with.

I’m loving this game so far. HOWEVER. I have one big gripe. The exploration. It’s a slog. It’s monotonous. It’s not fun and feels very outdated! Other than that, I’m having a blast.

Exodus better be good. It looks awesome but I really hope I won't be disappointed It all looked amazing but there is no visible movement there. Hopefully, they did not simply run out of moneys and stopped working. Yeah unless i missed something we didn't even see any gameplay yet IMO, they might consider going at least somewhat into Warframe-esque direction. Anything less might be insufficient. It is a big pants to fill but maybe doable with a competent team. Warframe spoiled a lot of sci-fi fans with its responsiveness, immersion, lore, and parkour systems to the point of the whole sci-fi space shooter genre gradually disappearing except the Star Wars branch of course, and that group is slowly but steadily degrading into some ridiculous nonsense. |

That's why I think Inquisition was a teaser to a lot of the BS we are seeing now, including the lack of evil RP options, more sanitized story and retcons to push an agenda. People tried to ignore it because it had some remnants of good writing and open world back then was trendy no matter how shitty. Honestly if Inquisition just came one year after its release it would have been trashed since TW3 would have overshadowed it completely. Bioware got lucky there. Veilguard meanwhile comes out a year after BG3 which was a masterpiece so Bioware is getting trashed more even than usually. As someone who never played BG3 due to the lore changes, I respectfully disagree. I don't think BG3 coming out sank Veilguard. I think Veilguard would've failed if BG3 didn't exist. I think the Veilguard is not good and I don't think it deserves to succeed, but it seems too early to say it failed. |
