I completely agree with you! I wrote a similar post, but didn't elaborate as well as you did here. The lack of interactions, and like I pointed out, even the so-called "romance" dialogue option is very... bland, at best. I was romancing Davrin and would notice that after locking in, couldn't go talk to him, unless he had something for us to do. I found that odd, but was hoping that it was leading up to something good that I just hadn't gotten to yet... BUT, I have read that I am very, very incorrect, about expecting anything better.
Sad - Like I said in my post, I was in your corner BioWare, but you lost me and I'm changing my reviews. I might try to finish the game just out of curiosity, but I won't be doing so with much enthusiasm.
ALSO... locking up armors to the point that you can enjoy ones you want to wear until late in the game. You all are terrible.
The lock in scene was at least very sweet. Not great, but... okay.
Bellara's was hilarious. Basically went like such:
Bel (from across the room): "You sure?"
Rook: "Yup"
Bel: "Kay."
Rook: (walks away).
Oh, for real? They better restructure this team and FAST because ME5 is gonna be dead in the water.
This is really really sad.
I give up completely on this crew.
So instead, BioWare, can we romance Viago, Teia, Ashur and Tarquin? Watered down as they are, most of the factions at least have a plot.
I found the dialogue in Veilguard immature (really, really bad) and made me cringe throughout the game. However, I enjoyed the graphics, storyline and battle mechanics.
If I can't get some indication that the new Mass Effect dialogue is much better than this I'm not sure I want to even try it. This NPC dialogue experience has honestly put a damper on my enjoyment of Veilguard and the continuation of Dragon Age. I really don't want that to happen to what I've already enjoyed with Mass Effect 1,2,3 and Andremeda.
Mass Effect is developed by a different team than Dragon Age.
Yes, you are correct. But...
BioWare will need to ADVERTISE that because otherwise nobody will trust they can make a game worth buying at full price any longer.
Without patching in a few things that could "fix" the game a little bit, BioWare risks leaving their fans in permanent doubt.
If this is true then why did they say there will be no dlc so they can focus on ME4?
It is, but in my opinion, BioWare needs to quit sweeping games under the rug hoping issues with them will go away.
They swept Mass Effect Andromeda under the rug to move on to Anthem. Can even use one of the features in MEA any longer.
They swept the Anthem failure under the rug and "remastered" the ME trilogy.
They are sweeping this one under the rug to work on ME4/5, whichever you want to call it.
In my opinion, they need to make sure they fix this one where it is acceptable and loyal fans are happy, because it doesn't matter "what team" is working on a project, none of them have panned out since Inquisition - so, why would we keep paying money for sub-par work.
Fix Veilguard and then loyal fans will feel better about buying ME5 when it releases. Personally, I'll wait next time to see how it does before I buy it.
