Looks great. Feeling pretty good about my pre-order.
I also have a deep love for this IP. I may have completed Origins more than any other game (except maybe Skyrim and XCom).
I hardly ever pre-order anything, but felt like I needed to put my money where my mouth is to help this franchise survive.

Well, this sure sounds very good. I donât ever preorder games, so I wonât now either but this might be a day one buy for me.
The devs said that even though itâs not open world, there will be areas that are a lot larger than the more linear areas. Did you encounter any of these?

Good preview as always Jesse.
In general, I watched IGNâs preview from last week as well as todayâs previews from JorRaptor, Mr. Matty Plays, SkillUp and obviously XboxEra. All of them were mostly positive especially in the two areas I care about - gameplay/combat and story/characters. I know a lot of people donât like the art style/visuals of the game but itâs definitely resonating with me and the setup/structure is similar to God of War where itâs region/area based as opposed to open world and has a lot of secrets and hidden mini-bosses to find when exploring. Sounds great, looks great and if the combat system plays as great as every preview I have watched thus far said it does, then Dragon Age The Veilguard could end up being my game of the year. Best of all, I already had my four day weekend off from work request approved so day freaking one for me. Will watch a few more previews from others later today but as of right now, im definitely hyped!!!

Not feeling the character backstory options. Theyâre all just different flavors of âselfless hero who defies authority to save innocents.â If you want to role play as a selfish jerk or a law-and-order hardass you kinda⌠just canât. 
Even Shepard was able to be a ruthless S.O.B. who sacrificed people for the greater good, if you wanted to be.

I didnât go through all of them as I didnât want to lose time playing in our limited window. Iâll be curious just how big of a dickhead you can be in the game. I had some real âeat shit, prickâ style choices that were fun to choose.

Crazy weird that western idea of inclusivity is by making everything safer and blander. You canât even be a blood mage anymore. Some women online complained about no longer being able to create their body type in editor. Possibly the meanest you could be will be some âHogwartâs Legacyâ level mean dialogue option.
âwestern inclusivityâ is dozens of nations with highly varying thoughts and ideas. Itâs not one big bucket that everyone in game dev pulls from.

OK. Whole bunch of devs from US and Canada and Japan, by proxy of localizers, believe they get to sell more games by removing more content from it.
Evil, pure evil.
the heck are you talking about? we donât know what the evil playthrough of this game is going to be like yet, I had some pretty dirtbag choices I made during the preview event

Good to hear. I want the boy scout choices and I want the âF you, I got mineâ choices too. 
Pretty certain that the damage numbers can be turned off but im afraid that youâre stuck with the color purple.
