Dragon Age: Veilguard |OT| 'Oof': A non-buynary return to form

John Marston

GAF's very own treasure goblin
Do you HAVE to keep that character in your party?
When choosing your party for a mission just leave her out.
You can also ignore her optional conversations at the Lighthouse.

I'm still early game with the 1st two recruited companions though.

Not sure if there are "forced" instances where Taash is in your face 😊

About 20 hours in, this is a bad game that I'm enjoying a lot. Absolutely wild.

If anyone wants companion recommendations, Davrin and Neve are well written and interesting characters. Haven't recruited the necromancer yet but the others are pretty insufferable to me.

This, the game has flaws but im completely hooked on it and i feel guilty for it?
Davrin, Neve, Emmrich the Necro and Lucanis the rogue are great. Bellara is "ok" but just a bit too...chirpy? Harding and Traash can get fucked. Terribly written.

I'm also about 20 hours in.
Kinda regret getting it on EA play pro instead of buying outright. Will play through it once and get it again when on sale to try other classes probably.
Last part of the first act was pretty awesome.
If I had criticisms for this game is that they could have made the cities feel more alive and enemy/boss variety is quite lacking. Minor issues for the most part.

People in this game really love to call everyone a god even if they are not actual gods uh? It's a bit confusing:lollipop_grinning_sweat:

Solas is the god of trickery etc. But then they say it's just a powerful ancient elven wizard...so no god like zeus or thor.

The 2 new big baddies are supposed to be gods but then they say they are just ancient tyrants that were worshipped like gods...but again, not actual gods.


Maybe my concept of god is different from these people :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

tbf there was an early conversation that addressed this. Rook was basically "we'll save the philosophical conversation about what a god is for later, call them what you want and let's move on"

They are more ancient elves who were or managed to become so powerful that in time they were revered as gods.
Signs of the actual God or Maker as they call him are pretty thin or even if he actually exists, as he may yet be just another powerful being.

At least this is my understanding of it short version.

But there is no philosophical discussion to have really, a god is a god, a tyrant is a tyrant and a wizard is a wizard.

Fighting 2 elf gods should be a whole order of magnitude harder than just beating 2 tyrants, they are not similar things that pose the same level of challenge, they are not interchangeable like a lion and a tiger that pose a similar level of threat, that's why i was confused, these people consider mages, tyrants and gods as the same thing vut i know they are not the same thing at all :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

Have you solved? I turned it off but the hard lock on is still dogshit terrible and lose the target every 3 sec.
I switched to the warrior class because i thought being closer to the enemy could have helped but no, even in melee distance the lock on does the fuck it wants...

Negative not yet, that above fix didnt work for me either.

Im going to mess with it more when I get home from work.

I dont know why, but I didnt really notice it too much at first but now its starting to become a huge pain in the ass. Maybe because Im starting to encounter larger groups of enemies that are more mobile and the fight is moving around a lot more.

I was fighting a boss last night and I swear the lock on was breaking every 2 seconds it was driving me insane.

I'm more surprised that no one is talking about this, it doesn't feel like a random bug but more how the game is coded, and it's very annoying.

Playing on PC (4070ti/5800x3d) and the game is great. Yeah story and acting ain't the best but it's fine. 23 hours in and barely any cringe dei shit. Graphically the game is pretty amazing and it runs so well.

But I'm loving the combat. It really a is top tier action game.Im playing a rogue and so many options in combat. I'm now experimenting with different parties and you can tailor your party members skill tree quit a lot to.

But yeah loving it, it's probably my favorite game since God of war. Some of the champions are bastards lol.

I am really really enjoying the game, I'm barely progressing through the main story as theres so much stuff to find and explore in the main zones and crossroads.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's rare to see a big release like this that launched without any technical issues. Even the PC version is free from Unreal Engine shader comp type issues.
