Dragon Age The Joyguard (formerly Hype Train) [Spoilers]

 If you believe you're going to play more than once, flip a coin at which one to start with first.

Fully agree on that. I, for one, am actually fine with this. I didn't like Inquisition telling me that my Warden Aeducan ended up being mostly separated from her love (Leliana) for upwards of ten years because Leliana decided that working for the Divine was more important. I'm fine with Bioware letting me dictate my OCs' world states as much as I want to after the game is over. Are the codexes and cameos fun? Yes, they are. But how many player canon world states had to be converted into headcanons after DAI because of what the writers had to do to make Hawke and Alistair's appearances more than just a flyby 'hey hello goodbye' appearance (ie, meaningful to the plot)? I'm in the vast minority, I know, but I like what Bioware is doing in this case.

Yes, I know fic exists. But I'll be honest, I wish I didn't need one for my Warden and Leliana to have a happily ever after together for an additional 10 years.

On th eEA app on PC it's listed as being 100gb. A tleast that's what it said when I preordered it.

Yeah been getting ridiculous. There are those who are saying it is proff the devs dont care about fans or story or worse it is a literal  fuck you to fans by devs. God sakes, I get it it is dissapointing and I agree but christ people get so melodramatic.

Admittedly I might have missed it (which is why I'm posting here) but haven't seen any Mark of Death or equivalents in the Rogue kit. Would be really disappointing if it wasn't in Veilguard.

Culture war stuff. It's best to avoid it.

Dwarf!

So we can have above 10% of players who play them!



I actually wonder how tall you can make a Dwarf. I might make the smallest possible thought.

I'm definitely playing a Dwarf for my second playthrough! 

Recent interview with Corinne mentioned Veilguard playtests were at 12%, but I somehow doubt it's going to be that high for the release. Mage is too popular and Dwarf can't be mage.

But I'm going to make a Mourn Watch Dwarf Warrior as my first character.

 There's still comments that said that it looks like a mobile game. I'm sitting laughing and wondering if these guys even played a mobile game before lol. 

My Aeducan was a two-handed warrior, very business-like and occasionally brusque when getting things done, and was completely and thoroughly Done with Doing Things by the end of the Blight. I pictured her and Leliana traveling for pleasure following the Blight with an occasional shopping trip for shoes for Leliana and hair ribbons for my Aeducan (she loved when Leliana played with her hair), so I was very sad to hear they'd been separated in the years after the Blight. In my head, she was very aware that she had a time limit on her life, and would have spent as much time with Leliana as she could manage. While I could see her going in search of a cure for the Calling, it wouldn't set well with her to be separated for that long from Leliana, especially for politics because...well. 'politics' is a bad word to her after Bhelen and the Landsmeet.
