DAV Critic

So first of all this is my feeling for the game and what i think about it after completing my first adventure playthough and best ending which took me roughly 76 hours, 96 if we count my other playthough starts , i dont mind hearing yours but lets try to avoid harassment and hate boning. But let get to it:

First thing first, I love the Lore god i love it, while when compared to other games of the franchise it lacking it still amazing drop of info, and love it all the more, with expanding on the knowledge that been left in the dark for so long. i think that is one of the major thing they did right.

now on to the good, Great, bad, and Ugly.

the good in my opinion, is the Combat the the world design, it feel like a Mix of Origins World design with DA2 and DAI Combat system with a more refine aspect. i think this was a good thing cause what made Origins so amazing was that each area had so many hidden areas and unlock to achieve and had to be returned to, DAV reimagine that and brought it back with alot more verticality and exploration. While the Combat system is smooth and the tactics give plays a easier time for the high pace combat, on NiM i can say it helps alot half the time.

the Great... The Story, "alot" feel the story is lacking and it may be, but i can honestly say that it equal to Origins to a degree, baring that it be at least on the level of inquisition, i mean seriously this story is great the cutscene the build up the endings, the interactivity is just top notch. and while the choice making is lacking in it cause and effects it still pretty good and near the level origins but feels still there.

THE BAD: World connecting and Choices god this is something i very much dislike, the thing that made the DA franchise so great was how each choice we made in the precious installment had a cause and effect in the world of the next game, Warden kill or spare loghain decides on the warden we meet, or how the fade choice is effected between champion and Warden, or how the Choice that the champion decide to support in DA2 or their Class of being a mage or warrior. i mean seriously this interconnectivity between game made it amazing including the relationship, how in DAI the choices of DAO show up in DAI like romance partner and more!!!

But in DAV that choice and world connecting has been all but removed on the highest level of degree, Morrigan no longer has her child is that how it happen between the Grey warden in the DAO DLCs and DAI main story, and is instead someone who drank the water of Mythal and more. all are previous choice meant nothing in DAV and the world we built was removed!!! which put a huge damper to many including myself.

THE UGLY!!!! the Thing that made Dragon Age, what it is. the Dark Gritty Nightmarish World, it showed us the aspect of both a Dark and light life of a Fantasy world with darkness and hero's, it didnt hide it nature it showed us the darker side of nature and humanity ambitions and greed. it felt right and realistic to degree, and that what made it good, cause we made choices and decision that affect the world and made us and are avatar feel real. None of that seem to be real in DAV, it feel that to much of the politic state of the world we live in is affecting the game design, and more.

a little extra Will call this the Worst. is the nudity and Sexual Preference choices, DA franchise has always stated it openness of the sexuality of thedas i mean every franchise has had a edition of lore tidbit of it in a book somewhere or another, But this went a little overboard, due to the Woke Culture when i heard taash say non Binary i seriously did a double take, WTF So your telling me that DA has advanced education system that is on level with are society, they have algebra and Trig, and more!!! Seriously this is a Fantasy WORLD it HIGH FICTION!!! if a gaming company has to be affected by something like this they need to look at themselves agian and ignore that, their a reason BG3 did so well cause they didnt care about no i identify as a Apache helicopter BS. if a person who needs to identify has a issue with the game they can go make their own.

i guess my last thing is the nudity it not big but still, there really was no point with the level nudity in the game, if it was on the level of BG3 i say yeah your right to implement it but for what in the game honestly yeah no it not at that level of requirement. if you make a future game with the same level as BG3 which i believe the DA Franchise could be if EA was willing to commit to it. I think you should consider that as honestly we live ina  different world then what we used to live in when DA first started and gamer dont really care. Only those looking for drama care. and you can just ignore them and not response to them which will make them mad but they will give up sooner or later.
