The thing I find most grating about the ending is every companion does their voice over. Rather than it being strictly text based or one character narrating(like Varric, Morrigan, or Duncan).

They really really want you to be attached to this cast. At everything else’s expense.

Those ending slides feel terribly uncomplete. As expected, it is lame.

I guess Morgan drop off our son at a bus stop to free herself from the "burden" of motherhood


Fuck these faggots


And as for the number of people playing I'm not too worried. Knowing EAs expectations they'll kill it like Dead Space Remake


I can't see it getting the numbers armored core did

Eh…I’m not entirely so sure.


Seems like the final bosses of the fifth game will be the forgotten ones, (the other “evil evil”) part of the elven pantheon.

With the archdemons and old gods just being their proxies.

The secret ending implies the entire series has been their long standing plot…to destroy the world somehow? Probably.

Now that I think of it, it does line up and there are some hints that there was some other force influencing things.

Not that I’m praising the game but it seems whatever series Bible exists-they are still loosely following it.

If this really was Bioware's big plan for the series then all it reveals is they were complete pathetic hacks all along.

It mostly depends on how well this one sells, of course. BioWare has been on the bubble since Andromeda. ME Legendary bought them some grace, though how much remains to be seen.

But it also depends on whether they can successfully put anything together in a reasonable period of time. They're not Rockstar or Bethesda, and I just can't see another 10 year development cycle being tolerated. Even Bethesda is catching some heat for their long dev times, and it remains to be seen whether GTA 6 will suffer thanks to its own interminable development. (Spoiler: It won't, because GTA fans are the most uncritical, undemanding bunch of consoomers outside of sports franchise fans.)

Funnily enough, Kieran would be an adult by the time of Veilguard anyway.

But from the looks of it. It’s not actually a soft reboot. Or maybe it is? I’m confused.

Clearly they aren’t blowing up the setting entirely. In fact the status quo is mostly the same-veil is stable, Tevinter still exists, but the Qunari have been driven from Rivain?

No mention on what happens in the south. No mention of the executors. Not even really anything on Tevinter itself beyond Minthrathous(they do know Tevinter is more than Minthrathous right?)

New Vegas did that too, it is not a bad concept.

Considering it took them 10 years to make and release this game there is no way they will profit or even recoup their losses. The game won't flop as much as Concord, but there is no way it does well enough for another financial injection... Right?

Basically the forgotten ones were influencing events and the arch demons are basically HP horcruxes.

So Solas’ fear that if the archdemons were killed pre emptively seems to have been followed up on.

Beyond that? That’s it really. The blight is just them wanting to destroy the world/humanity.

It’s honestly underwhelming.

From what it looks like. This game actually changes the setting less than even DA2 did.

Here's the real ending, which -- surprise, surprise! -- reveals the true villains have yet to be confronted, and they've been pulling strings forever (including, it's implied, Loghain all the way back at the battle of Ostagar, not to mention the freaking Tevinter magisters who invaded the Golden City). Any guesses who these dorks might be?

Bolded text to highlight something I'm unhappy to hear about. Loghain's behavior at the battle of Ostagar was already explained in the "Stolen Throne" book. One of the few game series I have liked enough to buy the novels for. Those books actually gave me an appreciation for Loghain, and it clearly spells out why he left the battle. He didn't want to repeat a mistake he made in the past, if I recall correctly, he even promised Maric he wouldn't repeat that same mistake.
This would just be another thing they are seemingly retconning in the new dragon age canon.


Now I understand what it's like to be a star wars or star trek fan.

Where are you getting that it was the Forgotten Ones?
 
Ok, so Starfail (aka Starfield) hit ~270k on its release day for concurrent users. I'm betting that Dragon Troon: Failguard isn't going to get anywhere near that number.
