Why Veilguard looks like Disney game?
Why EA took the Dark Fantasy touch of the game, and turned into a princess game? Dragon Age was never meant to be a fairytale game, it has all the aspects of the Dark medieval times, why the hell the...

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
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.
