In this video, I analysed my conflicted feelings about Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Despite 83 hours of entertainment, the game left me questioning its direction. It's caught between pleasing everyone and staying authentic due to its experiments, leaving me both entertained and unsatisfied. Let’s explore why this game feels like a rollercoaster of bad and good emotions and what that means for fans old and new. It's an honest conversation that will hurt many people. I'm sorry in advance.

1) This game doesn't want you to become smarter - It's not Dragon Age
2) Writers are predictable - It's not Dragon Age
3) It's a marketing shuttle, not a story to enjoy - It's not Dragon Age
