#But maybe I expected too much after 10 years of brainrotting over inquisition

[kurosmind]

Some veilguard thoughts so far

I'm enjoying the game greatly from a gameplay standpoint (even though I made it harder on myself by playing warrior...) though... The writing style isn't doing it for me at all.

Mostly I miss the protagonist weight that you had in Inquisition, Origins and even in da2 (hawke is kind of weird in that regard because no matter how you do it, Hawke is Hawke, you're playing the story of this guy so they're the protagonist). These games all had reasons why you can not avoid the role you are given, and it's definitely not a role that some - virtually - random guy gives you.

I just don't buy the premise that "you're in charge because Varric needed a guy". And you can't say no because... You're - by default - a goody two shoes hero. Idk if feels lazy to me and has me struggling to connect to the Rook.
