ngl i've been kinda surprised by the lack of veilguard stuff i've seen on my dash since it released - i've very thoroughly given up on it, but even ppl who seemed hyped about it have largely just... not been posting abt veilguard at all.

then i looked in the da critical tag and, uh, yeah. i can understand why. it's not an actively bad game, but it sounds to be very... shallow and mcu-ified? i'll admit i had basically given up on veilguard, but i did kinda want bioware to prove me wrong. not that i would've bought it anyway given the way they've treated their company veterans. it's just such a shame.

#weirdly though reading ppl's thoughts on veilguard makes me want to continue my da:o replaythrough even more #origins is *so* good #it may have its issues and god knows i've spoken about them #but you can see the creativity seeping out from the limitations of 2009 tech #bioware #dragon age critical #da2 did its damn best too given how quickly they had to crunch that game to release #inquisition even had its moments as much as i don't care for it #anyway. thank fuck i still have obsidian inxile larian and owlcat for great rpgs #see i want to add logic artists to that list bc i've been playing expeditions rome recently #and my god. i'd guess the budget is a bit/fair bit below owlcat's typical budget for their games #but it's still really fun and playing as a female character is a delightfully (and sometimes depressingly) impactful choice #BUT the studio got fucking dissolved by the founders so they could create a new studio focused on the goddamn blockchain #zero points for the founders all the points to the actual employees who clearly loved the setting they were working with
