“I wish we could have done this for Kirkwall.”
“Overall, I’d say this made for a better introduction than thereveal trailer.
“We see some story, and tone-wise it feels a lot darker and more Dragon Age.
Which is great.”
Gaider had particular praise for The Veilguard’s atmospheric-looking opening location, the dark and magic-infused city of Minrathous.
“The environments look amazing, full stop,” he wrote.
“To see the sprawl of Minrathous - wow.
I wish we could have done this for Kirkwall or even Val Royeaux.
Utterly gorgeous, sells the breadth and tone, such great work.”
“Combat is more action-y, without any tactical elements, but it seems fine.
Style is not much different than, say, DA2’s combat,” he noted.
“I had to laugh when I saw the return of the DA2 dialogue icons.
Will ‘Purple Rook’ be a thing?
Let’s hope so!”
I’m just eager to see where this goes.
To the folks at Bio: great job. "
