#like idk if i compare this to owlcat also very aptly playing into the appeal of interesting companions w their games

Everything I've seen regarding The Veilguard constantly reminds me of like... shallow Hollywood movies. If that makes sense. The dialogue is Cool and Tough and Quirky, the action are snazzy, the stakes are Big and we're the super heroes

no you are 100% right... also uhm i dont want to be mean but it seems to me that bioware actually tactfully realized that their target audience is like 50% ppl who want to be a cool action hero in a video game and dont rly gaf abt the story and 50% ppl who want cool one-liners they can screenshots or make gifs about and then an unknown % of those two groups just really only want to look at their dolls in awe and talk abt how cool and pretty they are and maybe make them kiss some attractive companion....

and im not saying wanting to do any of those things is bad bc it isnt. as long as you are having fun w whatever all power to you BUT like... is this game even an rpg... like idgaf abt this game feeling like a dragon age game at the end of the day bc i dont rly like dragon age and i dont have like a deep connection with the setting or stories (to this franchise is just too centrist and gritty for grittiness' sake... also im having a hard time scavanging the fun out of these stories amidst the weird stuff, the racism and lesbophobia but ik a lot of people CAN do it, and once again, thats not a bad thing.)

but yeah my first impression is just... this game is weird and not for me but i also want to dig deeper...
