I'm still not used to hearing "begs" for Bags.

someone mocking or critisizing your dialect would be like complaining about water to be wet XD

You're doing great :) I did notice you were working on it in this video. I noticed the Gale pronunciation in the BG3 videos, but I just figured you've got an accent, so I hope you're not beating yourself up about it at all since we all have accents.

Dont change how you speak... Its nice to hear different accents.

"Where are you?"

I really miss that version of the Dream Visitor.

@@ShigadyShigadyShwey Same, hope mods get to ressurect it.

Same. With so many options it's gonna take me forever to make my first character

Knowing how they deal with imports (steam version of DAI being broken because of keep), i hope not

​@@xy-te9dbthe Keep isn't going to be a thing so as long as it's in game it won't break anything

If their editor is as powerful as they claim, it would be a ridiculous marketing decision not to.

@Sierraone1 that depends. Frostbite is hard to make characters that don't look a bit off and people are waiting to claim the game is "woke trash". But as long as they do actually make it possible to create a wide range of characters and not just more "realistic" characters like MEA did I think it's a good idea to release it early

Tyrion Lannister, a character from the popular TV series "Game of Thrones" based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels by George R.R. Martin, said this quote in the series. The quote reflects a powerful message about self-awareness, self-acceptance, and resilience. When Tyrion says, "Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not," he is emphasizing the importance of understanding and embracing one's own identity, flaws, and strengths. By acknowledging who you are and being true to yourself, you are less vulnerable to the judgments and criticisms of others. "Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you" suggests that by owning your identity and being confident in who you are, you can protect yourself from the negative opinions and attacks of others. Instead of allowing others to use your vulnerabilities against you, you can turn your uniqueness into a source of strength and resilience. For a KZfaq streamer this seems like great words of advice.

Hey I appreciate that. I want to achieve a more universally accepted accepted accent though. It will make my videos easier to understand for a wider audience. My live streams on the other hand the accent comes back out :-D

well said +1

What accent? Where is he from?

​@jimmym3352 same question, very curious he is purposely using an NA accent

sweet!

No dragon age game has 100% reflected its trailer not a single one just wait for the game to make a decision honestly

because bioware cant make trailers lmao all of them were pretty off mark

Why you ask ? Cos you are still clinging for hope where there is none, mediocre game at best. Everything screams that even this screenshots hehhe

Solas isn't going to be the main antagonist, so that's already a major blow for me.

@@Violesadawhy? He wasn’t previously, people’s expectations never cease to amaze

@@Violesada Why did he kill Flemeth at the end of the last game? SO many questions.

I enjoyed the end of DAI and Trespasser, I found it take some good story risks. If they stick with that thinking, I think the story can be really good. But, I have a lot of concerns. Then of course there is the gameplay angle, I dislike the continued actionization of the combat... if the story's good I won't mind anywhere near as much, but it's still saddening to me, because a game with a great story, good graphics, and that level of tactical gameplay (especially with the zany things you can do with magic) I haven't really seen since DA:O!

@@Sidblue1983 It's been some time but I believe (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY FOR ANYONE READING ALONG) Flemeth is an incarnation or an avatar of Mythal, so I would guess by killing Flemeth using the method he did, he is opening up Mythal's spirit, potentially sending it back to the Fade as part of his machinations. If I had to guess, Solas's plan to bring down the Veil also probably includes resurrecting Mythal, since he seems to love her or have strong feelings for her (her death/murder is what set him on his Fen'harel crusade according to him). I could even see Flemeth in the material plane as some sort of.... phylactery is the wrong word, but sort of a storage jar for Mythal's power until the next part of the plan was ready. Solas seems HUGE on long plots.

The inquisitor is a separate character you have to customize, so not the same protagonist

@@xy-te9db the DAI storyline you’ve formed will be more intimitaly connected in game with Veilguard (not via Keep) and the same VO etc will be available, will see but you Will be able to run something close to your inqy

@@Ragnarok6664 not at all what i said. You talked about continuation as if you could actually advance the inquisitor s storyline directly, but they are just a side character

I never answer to KZfaq videos, but this comment was too accurate to ignore

Fortune 4chan

I think they said no blood magic due to story stuff

@@Akeyins understandable; a shame though, considering Tevinter mages love it about as much as they do necromancy lol

There will be no Blood Magic available to Rook, for "very strong story reasons", as the devs said.

There’s no berserker there’s no Templar there’s no blood mage there are so many classes that they are not in this game guardian spirit warrior so many classes instead they decided to make up their own imaginary classes I’m kind of disappointed about that I mean, seriously you have reaper slayer, which in my opinion, probably the exact same thing or like the same thing but you have no Templar class you have berserker class. Those two classes are huge and age. You have blood mage. Huge again now there are other classes that have huge classes. Also I just never played the rogue so I don’t have them off the top of my head and I’ve only played a little bit and I know there’s an arcane warrior. Blood. Mage spirit mage. Elemental list there was a necromancer class in inquisition etc.😊

And what’s up with the backgrounds like again there are so many backgrounds and instead of going by the organization you could choose a background from they just throw in things have never heard of that sound kind of lame and honestly like Vale jumpers at all these weird background guild things when you have already established Backgrounds throughout all the games you could choose like the chantry kingdom of Phone the teventer magistrate the circle s orlais dalish elf’s qun and all the other kingdoms are nations or other factions that are a part of dragon age instead of using them in the history they want to create their own history in their own guilds. It has an identity crisis. It looks too much like fortnight. The skills from what I can tell her all over the place. The enemies don’t look like anything ever ever seen before. I cannot even relate them to anything really I’m very concerned about the accuracy or saying true that the dragon age franchise and the franchise not being hijacked and made into a whole different franchise or game

I agree that really sucks

Yep, same here! SUPER underrated. Hopefully this game can keep up with DA2's character writing...

I'm looking forward to the open world. ❤️❤️😊😊

Wardens vs The Blight will always reign supreme.

i mean, the blight is sourced from said wizards

I do miss some of the simplicity of it, but even from the first game, in which the very first time I played was as a Dalish elf, the story of the mirrors, the veil, etc all interested me. So I don't mind as much, but, I will say the absolute sidelining of the Blight storyline in 2 and DAI was a bit... weird? The Grey Wardens were even kind of treated as stooges in DAI, when part of the whole plot in DAO was "If the Orlesian wardens were here it'd be ok, but they're not, so it aaaaall falls to you, good luck!". Turns out the Orlesian Wardens would've probably been more hindrance than help, lol.

I'd wonder if the formula would get stale if every game was only surrounding the blight. Doesn't give you much opportunity to explore the world without areas being desolate.

the blight is everywhere…not sure how you missed that from the article. It talked about basically a double blight spreading from those escaped gods.

100% it will be worse then what ME:A was to Mass Effect franchise. Andromeda had good combat, good overall world visuals/style (from day 1 of releasing any info on them). The problems were with story and character personalities (and their looks). From what we see: 1) Veilguards combat is cut-down worse version of Inquisition - smaller party size (less fun to have with team comps and experiencing game with interesting companions; even in game like BG3 one of the top mods is to increase party size), less active/usable skills (Inquisition had 8, which was way less then Origin, while Veilguard has 3??? ....3??????? ); 2) Visuals are horrific. Everything has horrible purple tint, everything has neon filter stuck to them, everything looks like it got fortnite style treatment (both characters and enemies); The characters look like they came from some looter shooter or BR style (fortnite, overwatch) game (look at that at foto 00:11 ... smells like checkbox list and not organic, normal story with companions you happen to recruit ... that qunari though ... wtf). 3) Story is not really know yet, but i have my doubts seeing the rise of forced ideology in these old major corporations. 4) Pronouns? As in sick/twisted ideas for sick people? Really? Just had to put them in here? Whats next? One of the companions will be queer pansexual with they/them pronouns and will check your privileges?

@@AmbroReality Er...buddy are you ok?

@@Conantuts-uk6mt Nop :) Just saying the reality of the game. What? Did that hurt your feelings? :D

It is. Don't worry. I was hoping they added it to the game as well.

Enchantment!!!

Enchantment!!

I say bring on the angst and the multiple playthroughs to try and not get anyone killed the next time lol

A previous game conflict stays at that previous game. DA games never are direct sequels, but instead inherit the world state from your past playthroughs. Solas will probably be a very big character still, but we'll need to deal with the two Evanuris before having to deal with him. I really hoje we get the chance to dissuade him from continuing his plan. Solas is a very complex and interesting character, that would be wasted if over simplified as only a villain.

@@GabrielPassarelliG If the Inquisitor couldn't I don't see why Rook could dissuade him. Solas at this point doesn't even see people as people they're lesser and not worth considering. Things could certainly change over whatever ends up happening in Veilguard perhaps all the senseless death being his fault and that fact eating at him causes him to change? He's certainly complex but I don't think that would be wasted if he stayed an antagonist/ villain what he's doing isn't that dissimilar to what Anders did in DA2, doing whatever it takes to change the world and damn all the consequences. Personally though I think he's stuck in the past and is pining for what was and needs to wake up and realize he can't go back in time, he can only move forward. If this was about ending the slavery of Elves I'd have a different opinion of him and would actually be tempted to join him but it isn't.

@@CrazyxEnigma At the time, the Inquisitor was almost dying from the mark spread, and Solas was free. Now, Solas is locked in the Fade, and apparently his only connection is Rook. We'll also dig a lot deeper on new lore that could help him understand.

What do you mean the Mage-Templar conflict ended before DAI even began? We literally go to the hinterlands and see the chaos of their war first hand as they’re killing each other and everyone else, did you even play the game???

@@AgiBunny They're bandits who ditched what was left of their leadership to go killing whomever they wanted, I even checked the codex entries on the fanwiki to make sure I was remembering correctly and I was. The war ended when most of the leadership of both factions died when the Conclave blew up and instead of tackling that as the main conflict of the game like I was expecting instead we pivot over to the world ending threat of the Breach and later stopping Corypheus.

Solas IS going to tear down the Veil. He said so in Trespasser and he repeated it in the gameplay. He first needed to make sure the last two gods were imprisoned... my bet is he will try to trick Rook and the last bit of the game will be confronting him.

My bet on why he didn't ask for help is pride. I mean, considering his status, of course he'd think he's better than everyone else and can do it better by himself. And maybe he thought romanced inquisitor would be a distraction or would try to convince him not to do it

Solas have always been reluctant to get romantically involved in DA:I. He have accostumed being alone and he says frequently how he finds it strange not being alone, if he gets close to the Inquisitor. Also, there are theories where he would be trying to resurrect Mythal, and that he was in love with her before she was killed by the Evanuris. Maybe trying to undo his doing to help the elves, who have been turned to slaves no matter what, makes him betray you.

I think inquisition was good for being mostly open world. God of War linear map sections were not fun to me.

@@mattmaas5790 I meant God of War Ragnarok with the ‘open areas’ to explore

Cheers

The DD2 thing is horrid and was never a part of DA games. Also, this game will be fully offline, even the worldstate building. So I could bet they would still allow for multiple saves. I don't know if there will be quick save/load, but that is something they always featured in their previous offline games.

Yup I was actually just assuming that in the video. Double blight sounds crazy!

@@WolfheartFPS yeah it has been a long standing fan theory. The other theory is the Flemeth/Mythal will be the final boss in game 5 as DA is a confirmed Saga.

@@WolfheartFPS also I recommend reading Tevinter Nights

Reading it now ​@@lunabloodstone

I'm still not convinced. The best RPGs to me let you pick what happens and where you go, a la Witcher 3 and skyrim. Linear missions sounds cringe

@@mattmaas5790I’m sorry but I gotta disagree with you there. The Witcher 3s biggest con is the fact that’s it’s a huge open world that has thousands of randomly generated encounters for the sake of it. It doesn’t make the game fun it simply makes it bloated, BioWare does better with a linear design as seen with Origins as everything is handcrafted and not built like a chore.

@@cxMiquella lol

@@mattmaas5790 Eh I'm seconding Miq on this, one of the major problems in most rpgs nowadays is pacing and one of the number one things that messes up pacing is open worlds and besides different linear and big levels has kind of been Bioware's style for the past 17 years at this point and big open worlds kind of mess with the pacing of how they tend to write. I think Andromeda and Anthem should speak for themselves in that regard and Skyrim is possibly the worst example you can bring up (game which is popular yet VERY badly designed).

@@Conantuts-uk6mt it's wild how kids just say whatever will justify the lack of good RPGs sonys influence has brought.

Which is weird when a tabletop rpg game(Baldur's Gate 3) just did so well.

Games take years to make, this would have been years in development by the time BG3 came out.

@@tofastninj9747 It is a matter of taste. ^^ I hate this BG3 system. Like...I hate it so much. lol The tactical combat in DAI I rarely used. So that's not a problem for me. I don't like it when people compare DA with BG3. In my opinion, DA is superior, with a very vast universe and well-developed characters. If you're a fan of BG3, I'm not looking for a fight. lol It's just my opinion. (and other people I know.)

@@julianakarina1951 I mostly agree with you for what concerns lore and world building because even if imo every DA has become worse also in that regard, I still think they are more interesting than a bog-standard Forgotten Realms story. But we are speaking of a videogame we have to actively play, unlike with other media, and from that point of view (game's mechanics) it's already something I don't like and no amount of good writing/lore will save it, because if all I want is "just" that I can read a novel/comic.

I’m with you 100%. I’m so burnt out on action RPGs and loved the tactical combat and swapping in the first three games- it was so fundamental to the gameplay it seems odd they dropped it.

I think that's fair to do Don. Hopefully I can start the lore series soon and bring us all the way to launch

Agreed, I can't believe after how the dialogue wheel flopped in Andromeda, they are still using it. Having only three ways to respond to dialogue can get quite predictable after a while, and it also limits how the player can interact with the game. Honestly, even most visual novels have a better dialogue system than the dreaded wheel they've got.

Yes

Thanks Lada

The lore is intact. We literally start the game with Solas trying to fulfill what he said would be done, but doing the entire game around this would be so predictable. Glad it'll be something new.

It wasn't combat that made DAO so popular

i remember how even in 2009 people hated DAO combat (myself included and i love turn base games)

I normally hate action combat but the way it's described in the article makes it sound like it could be really fun and interesting

DA4 is continuing DA3, not DA1.

Origins combat isn't especially deep either lol. I am playing the game right now. The game is great because of the writing, characters, and lore.

Good idea Ron! Yup I hope to start the series sometime soon.

Unfortunately I think they already confirmed there's no Keep but they brought back the cards to tell of our previous choices

@@mega2009man ah damn that sucks to hear but I can understand why they pulled it out with the amount of variety the Keep has

​@@mega2009man not gonna lie that was very stupid of them.

Same but I ain’t paying for this dragon age andromeda looking thing 🤷‍♀️

They got rid of the keep so people wouldn't have to make a separate account on an external website and also so they can play completely offline. I'd say that's a fair trade tbh, but it depends on how extensive it is in game

Thanks Grimm. Definitely waiting for some more info on these loadouts and what they encompass. Personally I'm not a fan of the cartoony look of the demons / some dark spawn, but I'm trying to let it go lol

@@WolfheartFPS understood, I feel that. It’s strange going from a desire demon that literally has the appearance of a succubus/desire or a pride demon that’s all Roided up n power lookin….. And now they either look cartoony or their spirits . 🤨 Was wondering if you were having a hard time accepting that as well . Anywho 👊💪🏻

The people that make game trailers are not the same people that develop the games, the exact same thing happened with Avowed, where even the dev team was unhappy about how the first gameplay trailer was presented.

With nudity in the game it will get a M rating so officially they can't be targeting teenagers. But the gameplay/combat looks so simplified it's difficult to believe they've had anything else in mind than console players, which in general tends to be younger.

Its targeted towards manchildren who enjoy goofy and dumb writing and who can goon over the companions.

It's like the started making hogwarts but baldurs gate 3 sold so well they pivoted halfway thru to baldurs gate maturity.

There are a ton of theories going into this, mainly because there is SO much that Solas knows that the world doesn't. And the things like the Blight might be different to him than to the world.

@@Ashbrash1998 Right, I think he's going to be redeemed by caving and just telling Varric and Cassandra and inki what's really happening because no one listens to him until the last second 😭

Check the chapter markers. Thanks!

Nope considering we are in a different continent (Tevinter) that has been set up since DA:O where Mages rule and the Templars do not do the same role as the do in Ferelden

nothing that will let you play as the patriarchy. your only choices are gay and even more gay.

@@christianmoore8898 Ye, but the only difference is that they switched* their role (Blood Mages rule as Magisters/Magisterium and Templars " look on the other side " but still represent the only thing able to fight heretics/possessed mage' and demons. They can even fight the dark spawns( but not as effective as the Wardens for obvs reasons)

I believe they are moving away from the mage templar conflict, it was resolved in Inquisition and the post game credits have the new divine either reestablishing the circles of magi and the templars with new reforms or abolishing them all together in favor of new institutions. As for warrior specializations, its being left out in favor of Champion, Slayer, and Reaper, so any anti mage abilities will probably be in Slayer.

@@onyxelite0188 The templars of Tevinter are really different than those from other places. First: the Imperial Chantry is different, and ruled by male mages. Second: the Templars don't have magical powers, they just use, under very strict permissions for special cases, anti-magic enchanted weapons. So in Tevinter not only there is no mage/templar conflict, but in fact the mages rule over almost powerless templars.

Steam. EA App is relatively new and still has a lot of issues coming up. Also, the customer support is awful.

@@goldenlining does it also redirect you to the ea app like other DA games?

EA app sucks but if you do steam you will use the EA app anyways

Yeah, that’s a bizarre choice.

I mean theoretically the Shadow Dragon background could work for that

Yeah, I hate the mechanical/steampunk vibe, doesn’t feel like DA at all.

I think they may be reusing visual assets or at least designs from their cancelled "live service" Dragon Age game. Like how Inquisition obviously used some assets from the cancelled Dragon Age MMORPG, the first 1-2 huge maps for example.

I hate the design of the veil jumper in general. Her face looks deformed.

far as I can see, it's an relic weapon used by certain dalish sentinels. There was some concept art a while back of 2 of them using it to form a magic shield against some projectiles.

Tarrot cards in charactrer creation but it will not be using the Keep

Thanks Shadow as always

Thanks for watching

You should take a look at the skill trees they showed. There's about as many options per class as there was in inquisition, but it seems like a lot will be passives and specializations

@@Akeyins There definitely isn't as many options for mages, that's for sure. In Origins, mages had access to about 60, SIXTY different ACTIVE spells. The vast majority of the mage tree was active/sustained spells, and they only had like 2-3 passives, which allowed for SO MUCH versatility and tactical thinking. Now it's gonna be about 3 spells with some passives, looking to hit some combos. Don't get me wrong that can be fun in it's own way, but it's not nearly the same or even similar

@@magatmilan8925 well it wouldn't make sense for a more action-focused combat system to have that many options. Doesn't mean there isn't strategy involved, it just means you have to plan your abilities and party members more carefully (which tbh requires more planning ahead than just having everything at your disposal at once)

@@Akeyins It requires you to know what is coming and change things until it works as opposed to figuring it on on the fly.

@@buddylord3020 or just understanding your different companions abilities and figuring out how to combo with them. I imagine that'll matter more than knowing what's coming up
