i finished veilguard yesterday and i think ultimately i dont really know how to feel about it bcs on the one hand it has some pretty strong character writing and rook is my baby. on the other hand almost everything about how bioware decided to handle the world state both regarding previous decisions and the game's epilogue irritates me to no end in its laziness and outright disregard if not contempt for its own world

i also have a specific issue with the ending(s) where like. i dont think it was necessarily poorly written but it felt insanely abrupt compared to the literal tens of hours of build-up to that point (or for solavellans, 10 years nshgjdsk). in bioware's other games the finale is a long, drawn-out conclusion that ESPECIALLY for veilguard should feel like the grand culmination of everything you've worked towards but everything happens so fast once you actually get there that by the time the epilogue started rolling i just had a headache
