Dragon Age: The Veilguard
It's not that bad. Taash's cringy scenes are like 0.3% of the whole game and lasts for a few minutes. Then it's over and you have an okay game.

It's garbage. They took a dark gritty rpg and turned it into a disney friend simulator.

while DA:O was the only one that was a real RPG, the next 2 games at least pretended like they were RPGs. this one is a mainline entry in the series that does away with the pretense entirely. it's a testament to how little bioware understands their IP and audience. nobody plays bioware games for flashy, "press button to win" combat. nobody plays dragon age games for light-hearted, "everyone gets along and nothing bad ever happens" narrative
i miss old ME1-era bioware, bros...

Its lame, cringe, and the boss design is boring. So what else does it have to offer? The movesets/combat is otherwise average. The only reason to play it is if you have a compulsion to play every DA game, playing for lolz or if youre actually wokefag tastelet who enjoys this shit.

Yes, it was in fact dark and gritty, you retard. That was like the entire selling point of DA:O, it was D&D elves, wizards, dragons and shit, but rated M for mature.

Not really DAO has wizards and magic and adventure. Game of Thrones is just alternative history pretending to be fantasy

I pirated it on release, sunk maybe 30 hours in and never finished it. I felt it was was a solid 7/10 as a game brought down to a 4/10 because of the cringe dialogue written by and for millennial Disney adults. It really does mentally exhaust you and severely detracts from the experience.

The best way I can describe it is a bunch of mid 30s redditors in role-playing a DND campaign, where maybe only a third of the dialogue makes sense for the character and the rest is just normal them.

DAO is just muddy. That's it. It's modern mud filter on generic fantasy.

just barely, they're hardly an important part of the story. 99% of it is medieval politics ripping off the Wars of The Roses from 15th century England. Show me where in Game of Thrones you see warlocks murdering goblins with fireballs or adventurers exploring dungeons and fighting undead. Dragon Age Origins has far more in common with D&D than anything written by RR Martin

You can decapitate enemies and the father human noble origin drowning in pool of his blood is pretty brutal.
There is no stark line of good vs evil, your companions are Sten and Morrigan and doing "evil" stuff is one of the strengths of the game

There are more things to criticize like models being off (heads larger for everyone), pretty environments but with no exploration, meh OST etc, but you could argue Tash is worse than these

Magic is the sole reason they won in the show and magic and magic users are even more pertinent in the books. Did you forget when Melisandre kicked off the Clash of Kings with a fucking apparition assassin, the multiple death defying revivals, and ignited an entire armies weapons with fire?

and? literally multiple beheadings in Lord of the Rings movies/shows.

There very clearly IS a line of good vs evil. The darkspawn and demons are very clearly the evil force ALL game. Sten and Morrigan also become cucks in your hands after a few campfire-mash-x-through-cringe-dialogue.

mostly true, but some encounters can be hard. arcane horrors can stun lock you and kill you without you making any moves. just don't minmax and get into autism.

>Tame violence
Yeah watching your entire family get butchered in the Human noble origin is tame. Or your betrothed in the city elf origin getting kidnapped and raped by humans. Lets not forget all the people you can murder in game. So tame.
>Basically no moral dilemmas
There are.
You can choose whether to start making the dwarf golems again, which is taking their souls and trapping them inside constructs. It helps agaisnt fighting darkspawn but you are literally sacrificing people to make them.
You can also choose to butcher the entire mages circle to end the crisis with the demons taking over their bodies. Killing them ensures that the threat is over but keeping them alive runs the risk that they will fuck up again.
When you help choose the next ruler of the dwarfs, you can pick a guy who is genuinely a douche nozzle but is best for the continued survival of the dwarfs becasue he is willing to make drastic changes, or you can pick the traditionalist who will keep the same flawed polices going that have been causing the dwarven kingdom to decline. The traditionalist is the "nice guy" but is really the worst choice for their race as a whole.
There are so fucking many that I honestly can't be bothered writing it all. Look it up since I know you never played the game.
>Stark line of good vs evil
Not always and that really has nothing to do with something being dark and gritty or not. You are one of those people who thinks that "dark and gritty" means that everything has to be retarded grim derp. I am guessing you are some warhammer faggot.
Anyway, the archdemon and darkspawn are evil. But there are characters like Logain are more morally gray.

>Basically zero swearing
KEK yes because swearing makes something dark and gritty. You are a childish moron.

Basically, you are a retard that has probably never played the game.
