Thank you for your response (sorry for the LONG delay I am rarely here on that forum)
I agree with you to disagree. Bioware was tied to some of the most outstanding Fantasy RPG franchizes in gaming history. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 were both originally made BY Bioware, Neverwinter Nights , Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is Science Fantasy. Dragon Age Origins was an outstanding strategic descendant of that.
Dragon Age 2 had a lot of problems, but it still was a solid Dragon Age game (I am aware many OG DA fans would decapitate me for that sentence)
Dragon Age Inquisition was amazing, even if in many ways too much going into the "Fantasy Action Shooter" but the story was still deep and based on the story.
Mass Effect 1-3 is just as much a funded combination the story is complex and deep and (please don't kill me) I called it Dragon Age in Space, for a long time when I started to play Mass Effect in 2012.
Bioware was known for difficult decisions, amazing deep companions and breath taking roleplay.
THAT Bioware - I hope I am wrong but it feels like it - is no longer there. That Studio does no longer exist, something I am very sad about.
Andromeda was an absolute Train Wreck of a game.
And Veilguard ... as I said solid game - no Dragon Age.
The problem is I think EA does not understand what Dragon Age is and tries to make it a fantasy Mass Effect, except that making your comrades unkillable literally just causes me to not care about them as much.
That you could not steer your companions was already in Mass Effect something I was not a fan of. Like at all.
But I know many who like it better that way.
I agree to disagree there. People have their opinion and that is legit and okay, even if it is not mine.
