DA fans, what do you think so far of the game?

It was a critic of BioWare tendency of diluting RPG aspect of their game to become mere RPG elements.

DAI is a great (RPG) game, for most people that never/barely play RPG which make me sad because they're trying to appeal more and more to this subset of the audience, this bad precedent dating back from Mass Effect/KOTOR success.

The point from my argument was by appealing to an abstract ideas of an audience they think that will like their game, Veilguard becomes dull and bland, because it doesn't know what it want to be.

A great narrative game? The narrative is tied to RPG system which they're keep diluting since DAO. A great RPG? They have not been making one since DAO/DA2 for the sake of narrative.

It's an uroboros type of problem.

A great narratively driven game means we are trading a good DM for a good story teller, except that this storyteller success depends solely to their ability to write an engaging story which seems not to be the case with DAV. Players are restricted to access/do stuff that will break the narrative.

A good DM may not necessarily posses the skill to craft a great narrative but because this DM is good at his job crafting RPG experience, the player can make something fun out of it regardless, and craft a version of narrative by themselves.

Sorry if this sounds like a rambling.

The point is that Veilguard is only decent at things but not great. And we expected it to be able to turn water into wine.
