We learned surprisingly alot from EDGE's latest issue. Here's hoping we get some new footage soon!

Everyone cites the Hinterlands as the thing they don't like. I believe that the empty desert area was far worse. I can't remember what it's called. But, it was so big that you had to use a mount to get around. And, of course, it was mostly empty.
I don't mind them modeling this marble elephant after the Mass Effect games. That should mean less filler.
But, the idea that you can essentially "bump into" a companion you're currently not using is very interesting.

I thought I was the only one never happy with the way my character looks. I don't know how many hours I have wasted on that. 😅

[SpellboundTutor]

It definitely gives me relief that this is a purely single-player game without shoveled-in live service content. So glad that era of games seems to be sunsetting.

Everything I'm hearing in this reporting makes me think about the Star Wars: Jedi games that EA put out not too long ago. Which is good, because those were solid gameplay experiences!

[joshjeggs]

I remember doin everything in the hinterlands and thinking that the game was like 80% done when I got through the gate.

[beguzxy]

I cant wait to see the character creator. I hope they show it soon.

[keepittoyourshelf]

I am mourning the loss of the tactical camera.

[tmadlegionsoul]

My favorite Dragon Age is still the first one. I, by far, spent the most time in that game out of the series. I really like the RPG elements of the game.

[Tony-Down-Under]

Well hopefully we can look back on these days and say "wow we were worried about this amazing game" instead of "the warning signs were there whatelse can you say but told you so."

[ivanradstrom]

Keeping the more tactical combat would have been nice for many reasons but honestly the combat was never what made me fall in love with the franchise. It has always been the world, story and characters for me and let's be honest every single installment of DA has had a very different combat system and feel to it, same with the crafted world tbh. My hope is that Veilguards focus on story really shows and as long as the combat is somewhat tactical and not just buttonmashing I'm satisfied.

[LionfTheDesert]

Why don’t they just say some of these design choices such as no tactical camera, 2 party members that you do not control, are lessons they are taking from the very popular Mass Effect series. I think fans might respond differently if it was messaged that way.

[Shadowband]

Exploring could be so much better if it wasn't for the fact that they give you things that require you to have parkour skills to get, but don't give you the skill to do it . Andromeda was the only game with boost packs that actually worked proper . I know it's not the best game, but it does have the best mobility spaceship and best ground vehicle of any space game .

[sang]

Glad to hear they are focusing on their strengths and sticking to solo player RPGs. I've got to say I'm eager to see more videos displaying the features, but character creator has me most intrigued. I'm guessing maybe within a week or so we should get something from them, hopefully.

[CullenPC]

Ahh too many hours spent in CC's. I remember DA2, got them exactly as I wanted them, as soon as the character spoke in the first scene, I restarted the game and I'm sure many others did the same thing. I'm looking forward to the new CC suite, can't wait to get stuck in and spend an entire day playing with it before I even touch the gameplay.

[vVRichardVv]

1:45 That is not why he did it. At all.

[jonathanpatze]

I don't know a lot here screamed Mass Effect to me and would probably have been good news for the upcoming ME game. Therefore we have to see how it plays out. Still the name Dragon Age invocates just a different set of things (setting, gameplay) to me. Especially in a time when one of the biggest games BG3 is kinda old school, a somewhat more back to the roots but modernized Dragon Age would have been cool.

[KellyKMc]

Inquisition has dozens of indoor battles. I would say it has just about as many as outdoor battles.

[Hexenkind]

Very much anticipating the release date reveal this month.

[Frankie-fc]

DA:2 Will always have my heart.
Rogue Hawke Female is ( for me ) an icon.
DA:I was grinding much, 😓. I’m looking forward to buying this new DA. Seriously I’m a dragon age fanatic.
DA-Origin’s.
⚔️❤️DA2❤️⚔️
DA:I.
Now looking for story telling Role playing called what?
DA: Veilguard.☑️.
Edit: Mostly I enjoyed the flow technique of rogue double dagger. I loved the story.
Funny thing is that it was so op, they nerft it. I love reading ppl’s likes and point of view. I enjoy games, takes me away from stress…✌🏼

[prozac]

cant wait im aching for a new story RPG goddamn
