Glad to see other content creators being excited at all the reveals (it's rough out there on youtube these days lol)

you give me the warden armor we all know and love, and ill be happy

I just hope they don't do the same as in ME: Andromeda. Make jokes at all times, even in serious moments "oh, we're about to fly out of the ship and die in outer space", "I know, it's super funny, right?" "yeaaaah" And something I would like is more romance options, in the style of Josephine in Inquisition, who is not a companion, but a romantic interest.

Dude people werent thinking, of course we will have less. Because the genre shift. We had a ton of fluff abilites Block Parry Dodge Flank [walk behind him] 😂😂 Slash Shield bash All these do not need to be skills for us to use them

The hardest thing to swallow is the party members reduction from 3 to 2, the inability to control them directly, and how little impact they seem to have in combat. Its like they are there just so you don't feel like playing the live service game this was supposed to be 2 years ago.

Tbf the more I’m hearing about it the more intriguing this game gets (I’ve even started a new Inquisition play through 😅 but it’s taken a back seat for FF14 DawnTrail lol 😂) and looking forward to more info (although keeping my expectations in check) Also, on the mention of the difficulty levels - I dunno why so many people are moaning about it just let players play how they want to, not everything has to be Souls-like - eg my dad is 64 and loves playing video games, he loves the stories they tell and in-depth characters but unfortunately his reactions aren’t what they used to be so he plays story mode on games - that doesn’t make him any less a gamer than the next person

watching your videos makes me more keen for this

The 3 skill slots is killing me Edit: i take it back, the 3 party members only is killing me

Im not one of the haters by any means (have loved all the DA games and looking forward to this one) however its insane how much bad press Bioware could have avoided if they had simply made a developer update video saying everything you said in your brief 30 second intro. Their whole rollout strategy has been confusing to me. Like, why not just make a lowkey vlog (like Larian did for example) explaining combat to us like this? Knowing we have not only an ultimate ability, but also item abilities and the chance to proc passives is WAY different than saying "you only have 3 abilities." Kind of a bag fumble imo.

Still fascinated at how weirdly Dragon Age has been marketed over the years

I’m stoked for this game! Thanks for all of your coverage. I’m ready to see new footage already. Hopefully next week! 🤞🏿

More excited! I’m hyped beyond hyped for Veilguard!

They talk about having belts rings and necklaces like thats a new thing? We had those in every previous DA game and most rpgs

Woah PC indeed :) Thank you for updating us! The hype is getting real...

Another great vid man. What is favorite Armor set or build from previous games?

I always do a first run on my games on the easiest setting so I can get a feel for the mechanics & just experience the story with the least amount of frustration & stress. Subsequent playthroughs I generally do on higher difficulties, but not always.

So with companion armor if they "dont exist" but are locked to them can you sell them or is it locked

I like options. I enjoy a game that I can tailor to my tastes and physical challenges.

Hi Dan, with each passing time, i am getting more hype for this game as a fan of the previous games, i have a question, Is the scale of this game will be larger than any of the previous ones?

will companions wear items and use the weapons we give them?

There are many things I have never understood with lots of opinions with customisable difficulties and options within single player games especially, if the option is there to help people who have a disability and need help, that does not affect another person's ability to play the game. Just because something is there doesn't mean you have to use it. But on the point of the game, the more I hear the more interested I do get, but until a gameplay video shows actually how you play. Eg. Will i just be mashing one button with occasional pressing for an ability or is there a little more to it, like moves that are only pulled off when holding other directions before hand etc. Then I might just hold off for now but it does seem more positive than the intial 2 trailers

I always pick hardest difficulty and usually end up imposing more handicaps. I love achievements that reward the masochistic

Great video bud, keep up the good work. Really refreshing to see someone with a balanced take on the game!

This game sounds perfect for me! Transmog, story mode, and robust character creation. Man, I may buy two copies! 😂

❤❤❤

Aw man, so we are going back to DA2 with locked armor sets for companions? Bummer, well I played with mods that unlocked the slots for the companions in DA2 so this case is nothing that modders can't fix xD Thanks for the update dude, it's nice seeing someone that is actually looking forward for the release instead of being butthurt that the franchise is exploring new ideas and expanding in new ways :)

Sorry but I still can't believe they have created this huge skill tree but only allow you to equip 3 active abilities. Killed a lot of hype for me. Idk how we go from 8 skill slots in DAI to 3. Having the ultimate slot and weapon ability ain't gonna make up for it.

Great video ! I am so exited to play The Veilguard :)

I can't wait enough for this game, I have played Inquisition and I really liked it :) hope this game will be better

I never played Dragon Age will this one be worth picking up?

Oh boy oh boy, I wonder if each Faction will have cool armors and weapons after completing Faction specific Quests. I can't wait to see how my Elven Warden, Dwarven Crow, Human Shadow Dragon and Qunari Fortune Lord will look once they have the best armor and wielding the best weapons in this game. And it's a good thing that Veilguard will have the Transmog system since I loved that system in both Hogwarts Legacy, Fenyx Immortal Rising and Rise of the Ronin.

Fashionguard is the true endgame

Apparently they toned down the itens you can equip party members with not being able to put helmets or belts...I just hope they at leats maintain DAI mechanics of modify certain armor with different pieces for arms and legs.

Btw you're my favorite DA KZfaqr

I'm pretty excited for this game and will be super bummed if it can't run on my laptop... Anywho, there's so much from these trailers that seem promising, and the transmog options and other QoL things are great additions. That being said, while I don't think it's necessary to have an absurd amount of skills in combat, 3 (standard) skills seems very low. FFXIV has managed to make a controller set up that can handle 32 skills. Of course, it isn't quick action combat, but surely they could have figured out, maybe, 6 skills? For Warrior and Rogue classes this may be fine, but I have to imagine as a Mage with SO MANY different types of magic, selecting only 3 will feel very limiting. You may basically have to choose 1 element and specialize in it. I'm still gonna play the game though regardless (again, if my laptop can handle it...).

So full on GaaS looter hack n slash combat as I thought, that's a bummer.

Guessing "OhNoItsAlexx" never heard of kid aggro? Wife aggro?

I think Rook's belt is going to function similarly to BD-1's stim slot. Also, Bioware has historically had difficulty trophies which are completed at the end of the game's end point, so the fact that they have a variety of options is completely normal for them.

Msi mass effect pc you made is insane Dan! Love it! I’m glad they have transmog but here’s hoping that they will have some appealing outfits to wear for both your character and more so your companions. I won’t hold my breath, but hopefully their use of safe will only go so far😉🤷‍♂️ Also, I laughed out loud when you made the reference to the alanah bad take on kids being a disability. 🤦‍♂️ ( I’m gonna venture to say that that kid is screwed if they have a parent like that) But to that point I personally do not like the idea of the approach with the difficulty modifying here. Obviously, you can have some levels of difficulty, but ultimately you want your game experience to have its core identity. Whether that’s for you or not is the consumers responsibility to decide, but the game/experience should be authentically what that experience is meant to be. If I can go into an experience and modify countless details of health pools and weapon damage and counter windows and hit boxes and aggressiveness, etc., etc., etc. that just makes it come across a little more disingenuous to me. It’s like taking the experience, but then handicapping it and binding their feet or tying their arms behind their back or blindfolding them. It’s no longer an authentic experience at that point. But to each their own… I would just prefer BioWare to approach their creative project with the desire to immerse the player in realizing the potential of their creative art, as opposed to disingenuous pandering or editing the experience for people pleasing. As we all know, when you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one. And your devaluing your gaming experience by approaching it simply as a tool for making money But whatever, that’s just my two cents as it relates to myself on that . Great update, thanks bro

That's really good news ! That means the impact of gear and weapons will be massive and could make or break your build.

Nightmare in DAI is easier than DAO.

Good one Dantics! Thanks for the info! The negative report: 1. DA:O had the best character creator of all time because you could scan a photo to make your character look like that. Not in game, but with a separate downloadable programme that was supported by the devs. 2. More action based than previous games is not a positive. Hopping on the soulslike trend? 3. Skill combos tied to your companions seems overly complicated. 4. Transmog and items in general seems that the devs are having balancing problems or is a preparation for an in game cosmetics store. 5. Difficulty settings too seems to complicated. What's wrong with Story mode, Normal and Death march? More options is not necessarily a good thing and if they detract from core game mechanics and is taking resources from focusing on the game itself (Yeah, I know, undefined) then it's definitely bad.

Using a Potion is NOT a skill. Weapons having on hit effects is NOT a skill. Ultimate skills are rarely used. The game remains at 3 Skills only.

Hats off to Gameinformer magazine l had game informer magazine for years it is one the best video game magazine out there they have very extensive and jam info on many games and l am not surprised that they had a very good and very in-depth article on Dragon Age The Veilguard the reason l don’t have Game informer magazine anymore is because l am so use to getting all my video game news from the video games channels on my phone but Gameinformer is still a good video game magazine also thanks Dantics for your very informative and in-depth news on the game your the best when it comes to Dragon Age news

Hyyyyype.

are we a grey warden?

In your opinion Dragonage V. Is or are a great game?

Knowing this is the last thing the original BioWare did before NeoBioWare seized control is a good enough reason to get this game, also to see how the Solas saga ends. Everything after may not hold a candle to all that came before, this is controlled by the MTV of gaming called EA after all.

I think it’s crazy that people were making wild assumptions about the depth of the combat based on the level one character in the tutorial. All they showed us was the potential in the reveal. And it was totally possible to see that potential depth in the combat mechanics from the game play reveal. I’m not sure why people were being deliberately obtuse about it. The combat looked like an upgrade on Inquisition to me. I like that the magic classes appear to be very different from each other. I usually play rogue but I might try something else….maybe. This channel is one of the few being reasonable and I’m loving it. Thank you!

I just can't get past it, they show us basically nothing and talk about what the game has, and show us none of it... Is that not weird, remember the last bioware game anthem... I do, seems odd they are hiding it.

1 question how much is SBI inc. involved into this?

this game is gonna be peak

I still don't understand why a certain subgroup of gamers think easier difficuties are a problem. Why does it matter what someone else selecte in their single player game? It doesn't affect you. I, for one, appreciate customizable difficulties. I won't be using the no death option, but I certainly don't begrudge those who do.

I'm not really sure what it is about this game, maybe the trailer felt too on rails and linear. And I get thats just showing an opening scene and the world could open up. But something seems off about this game. Really hope I'm wrong, but I have little to no hype.

Dragon Age: an experimental game since its conception that changes with every new title Dragon Age "fans": complain that it isn't the Dragon Age they knew (they are forced to say it every time it comes out) Joking (somewhat) aside, this is really nice! I always enjoyed that companions in 2 had their own styles. Also, bless transmog, I've always hated being stuck with shitty looking armor with good stats. The accessibility options are amazing, though! Will definitely help when I want to play through the game the 100th time just for the story

I'll live my 2 cents here. In DAO and DAI(haven't played 2 yet) there were certain class armour restrictions or armour stat restrictions so that ain't anything new to DA If you wanted to equip a mage with warrior armour and weapons in DAO you would have to be an Arcane Warrior. I'm not a fan of where the game is going, gameplay wise, but there are certain things that they brought from the old games

All that matters to me is that I get that grey warden armor from the concept art 🤤. This is all I care about

So glad to find someone actually reporting fun stuff about the game, ive been a fan of dragon age since i was a wee little one 😂, i absolutely cant wait to play it, theres so much negativity about a game that hasnt even shown that much off yet, i feel like people are just jumping on the hate train for views, i for one, will 100 percent be preording the game!!

Couldn't think i could be less excited for this game. But they found a way. They dumbed the game down more than da2 did. They aren't even making this game for da fans.

plz have sexy armors 🙏

480 super gross get a 4090

Really not a fan of class restricted armor, I don’t think that was so important to have; if you don’t want your mage to wear heavy armor because you think its immersion breaking - just don’t equip it. Especially in a game where the developers have already made each amor fit each class/body type, they did all the work and then just restricted you from using it. Thankfully that should mean it will be that much easier for modders to fix this soon upon game release, I can already see myself getting this on PC instead of PS5 just for the basic mod fixes alone

When people say the olf ganes gas so much what i Rember was yiu get a ability tagt was supposed to ve something yiu xan do as ability luke block that an ability So is dash So is.perry So is dodge role So is rage build up yes that was an actual ability you had ti slot So is back stao And so much more they romved do much fluff

We're getting closer and closer to everyone backtracking and claiming they always thought the game was going to be amazing and that the trailer was awesome. I for one ACTUALLY never had doubts and loved everything they showed us. The trailer was campy, but Dragon Age has ALWAYS been campy. Somehow people have chosen to ignore that fact and pretend they've made a sudden, drastic shift in style. I wasn't expecting them to go this far into the action genre, but it looks really good and in-depth and i cannot wait to get my hands on it!

Oh hey i called this exactly, the armor system is just the bad armor system from 2! Everybody hated it then but now it’s sparklier! 🎉🎉

It's weird to hear some hypesters screaming 'is it even an rpg?!' And there's other vids already inspiring builds.

Finally. Someone whose giving Dragon Age a chance instead of "The game is bad or the colors are too much." All I got from the KZfaq feeds are only negative and barely any positivity about DAV.

Wow, mobile phone gam e in 2024 are looking lit!

I dont like the companion focus they are promoting for me it sounds like bad writing ... i prefered when it was about Solas at first then companions second ...
