Dragon Age: The Veilguard Xbox Showcase Trailer

I had a theory that this could be the case. If there's an actual rumor supporting that theory, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Good news for you maybe?

Every people that talked from yesterday said the tone of the game is like the previous ones, and they used Tevinter Nights as a references.

There was a leaker on reddit that talked about all companions being Marvel-esque in dialogue, but he was specifically talking about companions, not the tone of the game or the narrative (he also mentioned the quests were good narrative-wise, I believe).

I can't help but think that this teaser is just to help assuage the complaints around the trailer to help prevent the fandom spinning on that for longer than needed.

If that's the case it helped me. While we can't see much of the characters from the front or in light, this looks in line with DAI.

Yeah this looks moer in lin ewit hwha twe see in DAI

I personally theorize that yesterday’s trailer was the result of some guy in EA’s marketing department snorting a mountain of cocaine and playing Apex Legends for 72 hours. At the end, the coke fiend stood up at his desk and screamed, “THIS IS WHAT THE KIDS WANT,” and no one dared to contradict him because of the loaded gun he keeps in his drawer.

I have to wonder what people mean when they say Marvel-esque, because at this point it seems that any sort of comedic, humorous or light-hearted moments are called so. Never mind that DA was chock-full of funny quips and moments - I have no idea where this insistence of some that DA franchise has to be void of that is coming from, when some of the most memorable moments I keep seeing being brought back as highlights of DAO aren't, like, a goddamn broodmother or death of Cailan, but things like Morrigan quipping with Alistair...

I don't know if they used Marvel-like or Marvel-esque, but he post specifically mentioned Marvel as a comparison.
Granted, the same leaker also mentioned the game would still have a 4-men party, and I recall some people mentioning he didn't know some big details or moments from the previous games, so he might've not been a big fan or player of the franchise.

I honestly don't know what he meant the with the comparison, and to be frank, the games always had characters and dialogues that people could categorize as similar to Marvel dialogues, I think. The games always had a mixture of more serious dark elements, moment and tone and light-hearted, comedic ones.

In regards of the trailer specifically, I think the big issue with many is that the tone and direction lead to overshadow some moments that could be definitely categorized as darker or serious, and the way the trailer was narrated did look a bit like a developer would introduce a hero shooter game. 

Of course, the game isn't going to be one regardless of the actual quality of tone, but coupled with the name change, and the fact that the vast majority of people don't really keep up do date with every single news, I can see why people feared the game was a different one that they envisioned.

Marvel-esque humour basically equates to a steady steam of facetious quips. Not jokes, mind you - quips.

For instance, let’s say a building explodes, and the Marvel hero quips “Well, that happened!” or “Wasn’t expecting a barbecue today!” Or a bad guy appears behind the hero, and they observe, “He’s standing right behind me, isn’t it?” And when the villain says their name, the standard quip is, “What, was NAME XY taken?”

And they keep doing that throughout the movie.It isn’t wit, it’s comedy by volume.

She does become a romantic if you romance her as she by the end wants "all the strings" not just a fling.
