No, it's because some youtuber wants you to believe that.
Yes, screenshots from Dragon Age Inquisition (notice the dark).

That's Inquisition and the old Director stayed on topic of the game and didn't try to include their personal life and choices in the game.
Inquisition still maintained the political stuff from the DA Origins and DA2; Which include the Dark fantasy of the game, the genre and story.
Dark Fantasy is a genre and Veilguard seems to be astray from story or the genre from the old games. Just look at the clean shaved, smooth baby of the new Qua- sweetpoison00117 months agoSeasoned Ace
I will. tomorrow. It will be nice to see smooth faces. although I'm quite sure that can be customize and perhaps for once I get to create a good looking character without much effort. Dark Fantasy missing in a game which literally have "veil" in the name. You know "veil", that border between fade and real word, which from time to time leaks all kind of demons so the player can get rid of them...
Not much for an advice but still, you don't like a food, don't eat it but take in consideration that some people might actually enjoy it. At least taste it instead of letting some one else to tell you what to like.
It might be more about this game than you can find out from some one who's paid to say anything on youtube as long as get view-count.
Back on topic, it would be fun to drop some unicorns from fade rifts.

Sad, but it’s true! The Veilguard feels like it has strayed far from the Dragon Age legacy, leaving behind the dark fantasy roots and the deeply layered storytelling that defined the series. Where Inquisition managed to balance refinement with political intrigue and moral complexity, The Veilguard seems to have lost its way, prioritizing aesthetics over substance. The result? A game that feels more like a hollow imitation than a continuation of a beloved franchise.
Elon Musk’s words ring painfully true here:
"Diversity is important, but it can't be an end in itself. If diversity replaces competence, this can lead to mediocrity and stifle creativity."It feels as though The Veilguard tried to tick every box on a checklist but forgot to deliver on the one thing that mattered most: a game that honors its legacy and its genre.
The emphasis on surface-level inclusivity seems to have overshadowed the core tenets of the series, leading to shallow storytelling, uninspired character designs, and a game world that feels more polished than lived-in.This isn’t just about "diversity" as a concept-it’s about a loss of focus on what Dragon Age was built to be. Dark fantasy is not clean, safe, or simplified. It’s raw, morally complex, and unafraid to challenge players. When those defining traits are sacrificed, what’s left is mediocrity masquerading as progress, and fans can feel the difference. Creativity thrives when the story comes first, and it’s hard not to mourn the creativity that seems to have been stifled in favor of a more marketable but less meaningful product.
