I haven't pre-ordered Veilguard because I am so nervous to end up with a game I can't like. Something like they did with ME3, it only showed the first 15 to 20 minutes if that. It showed you it's combat but it more importantly it showed the beginning of the epic story.
I found DAI's story lacking from it's onset, so I am currently having trust issues.
Any thoughts?

They've learned the lesson from Andromeda, when the CC got released early. There won't be a demo for this, because even if there was, any feedback won't be incorporated at this stage in the game (if at all).
I too felt Inquisition's story was rather lacking, which is why I'd wait and maybe spoil yourself a bit by watching other playthroughs of the game to decide for yourself that way. I hate doing that, but after Inquisition and Andromeda, I can't justify spending money on this series day one. Granted, I'm more optimistic given what I've read and seen, but it's a purchase after it goes on sale for me.

It showed you it's combat but it more importantly it showed the beginning of the epic story. Have you watched any of the trailers on-line or read the Game Informer articles? Between the game play trailer, the release date trailer and associated articles, you should have sufficient information to decide if this is the game for you, at least from a story perspective. I would like more information about the factions and specialisms we can choose for our PC but that won't alter my enthusiasm for the game based off what I have seen. The only reason I haven't pre-ordered yet is that my PC isn't up to spec and I won't order until I have a replacement. I will be playing it from Day one though.

If you have doubts about the game then just wait till release? Because I highly doubt that we will get demo. Maybe they'll release the CC, but that's it.

Demos lose publishers sales, so there have to be very specific reasons to justify one and I'd be surprised if that applies to Veilguard.

It will be on ea play pro, if you want to try it without paying it full price. But it's only avaible through the ea app.

It's increasingly rare for games to have demos, so highly unlikely DAV will get one. Best to wait until after release and watch some streamers or let's players go through it and maybe wait for a seasonal sale. Black Friday and Christmas could see the price reduced somewhat.

I hate that I'm going to have to do that, I don't like waiting to get Bioware games. Always looking for ways to play my old BW games, so thankful for Steam for that reason.

You decide what your priorities are and have to find a way to be ok with them. Otherwise, no matter you do, you'll be unhappy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For me, ironically, the 10 year wait was good because it made me emotionally detached enough that I'm not bothered waiting, either for a sale or for a lot of players to futz around with it and give me a more varied idea of what the game is like. Bioware's own showcases historically never really wowed me. There still are 2 months left until release, maybe you'll find something in what they show in that time to convince you one way or the other.

If it's not then 6 months after launch. For example jedi survivor sold well and it came 1 year after it's launch on gamepass.
