Baldurs gate 3 ruined it for the large AAA developers/publishers. People are now excepting good games like that.
Look. I don’t care about the political content in a game as long as the game is good!
The issue is, these large game companies have been trying to change the mindset of gamers to accept games with less content because at the end of the day the only thing these companies want is to sell horse armour.
If they just released what people were expecting (and wanting): Dreadwolf, a true Dragon Age sequel - then it would’ve sold by the figurative truckload and they’d be riding the money boat right now.
But no. The reality-disconnected decision makers decreed that it had to be ultra sanitised, corporate, Disney-esque slop. Not an awful game, sure, but absolutely not a Dragon Age game.
You should play the original if you can, it really is the best Dragon Age game. Steam has a guide to get it up and running on modern machines.
Also, were you able to follow the story of Veilguard? I haven’t played it yet (and honestly I might never) but I got the impression that it was pretty tied to the story of Inquisition.
Yeah ngl, I don’t really care for the more Elvish focus that Inquisition (and now I guess Veilguard) has. The best part of DA was always the mix of all the lores clashing.
I have been talking a lot with a friend of mine about DAV and Dreadwolf.
I really think that even if they released the Dreadwolf, the version from the artbook, they probably won’t made a profit, the game could sell well like Inquisition but not like a Cyberpunk/The Witcher 3/BG3 and for the amount of time and resource they used sales like inquisition is not enough. They blew their chances with the 10 years of delays, the IP was not in a good place.
Only a miracle, a game on the same level as BG3 for Bioware to make a profit again.
They could just update rosters and wouldn’t even need a new game. It’s pointless now that graphics and gameplay are not enhanced enough to justify a new $60 game
