>The main story plot is that the whole fucking world is ending and, indeed, by the end of the game the whole setting has been nuked
>The quests are shit like "help your teammate have an argument at the dinner table with her mom over gender identity"
The weird, rounded Disney presentation where no one is mean and nothing truly bad happens ever contrasted with what I assume was what the game was originally supposed to be about before it got absolutely butchered is a wild fucking ride. The truly tragic thing about Veilguard is that you can see the faintest glimmer of the original, dark Dragon Age setting under all the corporate Barney the Queer BIPOC Dinosaur bullshit.

It was the first fantasy video game I can think of that went the full Disney-fication. You can't be mean, much less evil. Everyone talks like HR is in the room. They talk to the player like they think you're a fucking idiot. All the things that were dark and edgy about the setting get sanded down and rounded off. The gameplay is full particle effect ninja power action-ified bullshit and difficulty just makes enemies ridiculous damage sponges.
The icing on the cake is that you're eventually forced to take in Taash, the most annoying character in the game who is a Qunari, but also she doesn't follow the Qun, but also she wears Qunari religious clothing, but that's because she wears whatever she wants, you don't get to tell her who she is. Not only is she ugly, but she has big, thick, goofy black eyebrows even though her hair is white, like one of the designers was deliberately making fun of her. Her personal quest is about helping her with her fucking gender identity between her explaining to you that dragons have queens, not kings and include helping her have an argument at the dinner table with her mom over said gender identity.
