We need a new gameplay video, this time showing different parts / acts, to give players a better sense of the game, unlike the last one - which was likely an unplanned panicked response / damage control following the disastrous trailer-companion reveal. So they chose the Minrathous portion, which is probably more dark and gritty than say, Arlathan Forest - to counter the so-called “Fortnite” impression that the trailer left, in like, a big way. We should be seeing more about Rook, the companions, locations, gameplay details, more ability reveals, armors/looks, the character creator, the lighthouse… at this point. Marketing until launch is crucial, and after a couple missteps, they need to get this train back on track. Show us what you’ve got, and make it good! Can’t afford another Andromeda or Anthem, and this slow-drip method isn’t helping, IMHO. Help us help you, BioWer! 🤷♀️ I disagree with the damage control part. Twitter and other responses were damage control. But the gameplay trailer really looks like it was their plan. As for why i think they wanted to much in one video. They wanted to show combat, dialoge and consequeces of CC without spoilering more of the late game. So they show the start of the game. I think it would have been better, if they would have make more different videos. one for combat, one for dialoge and one for faction differences. That also would have gave them more things to show in july.
I find it very hard to believe the gameplay reveal was supposed to drop as soon as it did, literally like the next day after the trailer. And showing the part that it did... it was fortuitous, to say the least. It was like "no no no, look, we can be dark, it's still Dragon Age!" - because the reaction was so bad and so immediate. Could I be wrong? Sure. They would have benefited more from showing different parts of the game, with Rook at different stages of level progression (+ different classes) to encompass it a bit more. It was 20 minutes of the same thing, gameplay-wise, with a lvl.1 Rook. But perhaps they were wary and more self-conscious of what to show and when. I don't blame them. And look, ultimately, I want BW to succeed and knock it out of the park with Veilguard. But we're living in times where you either love or hate something, and once enough people decide this isn't good - without having ever played it, and that spreads like wildfire, t's over. Playing it smart is actually a good thing, who would have thunk?

Can’t afford another Andromeda or Anthem, and this slow-drip method isn’t helping, IMHO. Help us help you, BioWer! 🤷♀️ Not damage control when they announced said gameplay demo at the very end of the trailer and given these things it was probably in the works for months. And honestly does anyone who compare it to Fortnite actually bothered to post examples? Only people I see bothering to do their research are the ones defending the game and pointing out its pretty much always looked like this. I mean I kind of am curious but I am also loathe to do so because I am sure I will die by cringe. And so what? You want them to show off everything all at once until they have nothing to show until the game is coming in October/ maybe November? So they have to then give off more stuff that won't be beneficial to us? They have shown off the game. They are showing off the game. They will show off the game. And really we tend to get a lot of mraketing closer to release with many games as review embargoes lift and we start seeing people play the game on YouTube/ Switch. Which is pretty much where people will go and what people will remember most and be the most beneficial to them in the long run. Currated trailers don't tell us about the game, gameplay does. People tend to conflate and label "Fortnite" onto anything that's stylized or cartoon-y and upbeat, not a generalization I necessarily agree with - but it was the perception.

I think the yneed t osho wu smag ean dwarrio rgamepla yalon wit hsom eo fthe CC .If I we re them I' dtake a couple of sidequests and show maybe a female mage Rook completing one or somethin gthat and the CC i sprobably all we need now alongside a date What we need now is a mage rook on higher level in an dark area on high difficulty and the CC as demo. They should only show combat to not spoil anything. I disagree with the sidequest. Their are some DA fans that needs a clear position where the game stands.

Could I be wrong? Sure. After andromeda and anthemen they know they needed to show more than a short trailer. Because people will not trost them. So yes i think they have planed the gameplay trailer at the point they have show it.

Could I be wrong? Sure. Considering that gameplay reveal was a shorter version of what was to journalists, i doubt that it was just damage control. However, originally the reveal was even shorter, likely ending when we meat Solas. So maybe showeing more was due to damage control.

Kind of a weird place to be in but last weekend I watched the movie Midway...the original one. And the scene where Admiral Nimitz is looking down on the map studying where the scout planes are going and he says something along the lines of 'we should know today'. Just keep on waiting for them to drop that roadmap.

So Foleys coffers are a lot emptier cause I pre-ordered the Rooks coffers and Deluxe edition. . Some hemming and hawing but honestly with entertainment sometimes you aren't just buying the new thing but also the trust and how much you owe from the last thing. And Inquisition was certainly worth the price. Still though hope I do enjoy it cause the pressure is on but hopefully the wife won't complain when I make multiple playthroughs.

The items from Rook's Coffer look really good. I'd love a poster version of that map.
