I hope it does worse than Concord.

This is what will bankrupt Bioware.

NGL, Skill up review went into hate category instead of criticism.

I have ignored it in my subconscious.

Still not day 1.

Will have to surprise by user feedback to get this in launch window.

Actually this would mean the Person is saved. Because in ancient roman colosseum culture the thump was presenting the sword. Putting it down would mean to sheat it so the person would be spared. The thumps up would mean he would be killed. During transportation in modern culture this was somehow falsely transported

Well I'm old but not ancient so thumbs down still means: Nope. Dislike. Denied. Not approved. Not interested. Kill it with fire. Etc.

But I haven't played any other Dragon Age either. Plus this is apparently super woke and woke is only a word I see on the internet, I see nothing of that in my real world bubble, I'm just not the target audience here.

Waiting for sale, never enjoyed any of the DA games, will try this but if there's a demo it will be good to test it.

Zero hype, don't like anything I've seen from it so far.

To those planning on buying the game, I wish you good luck and hope you make it through this sort of garbage relatively unscathed.

As for myself, I cannot imagine a more miserable way to spend my time. Hard pass.

They can go fuck themselves with that writing and voice acting.

Was going to at least try it on EA Play Pro but I'm not touching it.

Will be waiting to see how it's received in the wild, but I have to say… not looking good.

And I'm bummed about that. Dragon Age Origins is a great game… none of the sequels ever got close to that

What's with that phrase "maker's panties" ??

I'm guessing that's meant to be an expression analogous to old phrases like "God's wounds" etc (later contracted to "swounds"), but for this fantasy universe? What a weird choice, out of place even if you had world building around a female-god religion. I'm just going to guess that their deity here is some kind of nonbinary or transvestite fetish thing as well.

WAIT - okay I just went down the rabbit hole figuring this one out. They're 100% trans-ing the religion of the game.

In prior games, there was a religion of the "Maker" who is the creator god and male, and then there is Andraste, the woman who was his wife.

The Maker (also referred to as "The Maker of the World" and "The Wellspring of All") is the deity worshipped by the Chantry. He is referred to as a male, and the prophetess Andraste, who inspired the foundation of the Chantry, is considered to be His wife. While the Chantry believes that the Maker is all-powerful and created all things, they also believe that He has turned away from them. The Chantry believes this to be because of the faults of His creations. He will not answer prayers, grant wishes or do anything of the sort until humanity proves itself worthy of His attention again. As such, Andrastian religion in Thedas can be described as deistic in that the creator deity does not communicate with the created world.

And in prior games, there was an actual exclamation phrase used similarly to here, except it was "Andraste's granny panties!"

So what they've done is to swap it up and refer to the Maker (male creator god)'s panties instead. It's absolutely an attempt to subtly trans even the religion of the game world.

Origins was super dark, they toned down the themes with DA2 but Veilguard is a completely 180.

Spoiler: Origins Spoilers

There's a whole questline where you find out Darkspawn reproduce by abducting and raping human women.

In another quest you can sell your elf sister to get gangraped by human nobles.

Dragon Age Origins was just so well put together. I preferred it to Baldur's Gate at the time. The story was so grim in places. Awesome game.
