Simply Amazing
I just wanted to take a moment to express how truly amazing this game is. From start to finish, it has everything a gamer could ask for – a fantastic story that had me hooked right from the very beginning, great combat music, engaging puzzles, incredible voice acting, captivating cut scenes, and dialogue that shines, especially during the closing scenes when every character has their final say. The last few chapters were particularly enjoyable for me because, unlike most end levels where you face extremely difficult bosses, this game strikes a perfect balance between combat and storytelling. The conclusion, with the camera seamlessly swinging from one character to another without any cuts, combined with the stunning graphics and orchestral music, had my heart pounding and my hair standing on end. That, to me, is the sign of a truly compelling game. Kudos to everyone involved in making this game – I thoroughly enjoyed it. On a side note, I found two trophies to be particularly challenging. The first one is 'Enhancements,' where you have to fully level up certain armor. I was at the point of no return, having completed every side quest but still hadn't found a gold legendary primary weapon. Despite opening numerous chests and maxed-out merchants, it remained elusive. I eventually returned to the map and searched for unopened chests, finally discovering one in the Wetlands on the stairs whisp puzzle in the ruined castle. The second challenging trophy was 'Clear Minds Open Hearts.' I only realized at the point of no return that I hadn't made the right choices in the conversation during the quest 'Regrets Of The Dread Wolf,' which made my heart sink. After investing 50 hours into the game, missing out on the trophy was a major disappointment. Fortunately, I had a save point that took me back to that quest, but it only had me with 4 out of the 5 items needed to progress. The last item was locked behind blite, which required a 'Champions Of Essence' rune to access. After many more hours of gameplay, I finally found the rune I needed after defeating a boss, retrieved the final piece, and made a save before the conversation. Phew, that was frustrating. So, my advice to anyone playing this game is to ensure you make the right choices during the conversation at the end of the quest "Regrets Of The Dread Wolf." It will save you so much time. By the way, is it wrong I had a bit of a thing for Neve haha 🤣 Thanks again to everyone involved in creating this game – it's one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played 🙂👍🏆
Veilguard - Rogue - Unable to use bow
I've tried everything I can think of to use a bow...as a Rogue...but I cannot seem to figure it out. Why did they make it so complicated?! I've checked the settings, I am set to a Rogue in Controls -> Class Bindings I have hit the "X" key, which is the key bind to change to the secondary weapon...nothing happens I've left-clicked, right-clicked...nothing works. Can someone provide me exact, step-by-step instructions on how to use a bow? I am clearly not able to comprehend this incredibility difficult mechanic of the game.

[Feedback] Edit the appearance of the Inquisitor after locking in
I speed past the customisation of rook and went straight into the game without realizing the Inquisitor would make an appearance and could be edited in the customisation screen. I don't need to edit the story, just the way they look. I also wish to save appearances so I could start a new playthrough and save my rook or Inquisitors looks. That's all I ask to be able to use the mirror on the Inquisitor at least once
Please Implement the Dragon Age Keep in future games.
Greetings. As the title suggests, it would be highly appreciated if the devs would re-implement the Dragon Age Keep into a future Dragon Age game. The Veilguard felt hollow due to the lack of the Keep, and only three choices from Inquisition mattered but none from DAO and DA2. I'm sure that the devs are aware, since many players throughout social media and probably in here have already expressed their disappointment regarding this decision. Hoping for the best RegardsThe Fate of the Leaders of Thedas
Hi, everyone. Hope you’re doing well. The lack of the Dragon Age Keep (wish it was kept) made me question a myriad of things, including the fates of the characters we had met as the Grey Warden, Hawke and the Inquisitor Did we get any news regarding the fate of the leaders of Thedas in the Veilguard? And other characters we had met in the previous games? Including our former companions. Aside from Aveline and Sebastian and Sten and Marius (not a companion but was Calpernia’s former lover). I’m aware that you can get some of them killed but what exactly happened to them if you spared them? What happened to the leaders and recruits of the Inquisition, Alistair, Anora, Loghain, Fiona, Bhelen, Harrowmont, Irving, Eamon, Isolde, Connor, Teagan, Samson, Feynriel (who goes to Tevinter if you allow him), Celene, Gaspard, Briala, Abelas, Cyril, Alexius, Calpernia, and Meredith who is somehow still alive (or dead after knowing what happened to Kirkwall in the game)? And the list goes on... Regarding, Calpernia, her absence was strange since this game takes place in HER homeland of Tevinter. I can only surmise that she might’ve left the Venatori after you had exposed Corypheus’s plans to her in Inquisition. But what happened to her afterwards? I know that she almost became a companion but that’s it. So… have they all perished in the Sixth Blight or are they still alive? And most importantly, who was the Divine? Cheers
Builds... You got 'Em... I wanna steal 'Em!
I love the new combat system and skill trees! I have burnt waaaay too many hours tearing through this game. The combat is probably the second biggest reason for my hours played. So, naturally, I am a huge fan of tinkering with my builds to get every last drop of DPS, stagger, mana regen, etc... out of my characters. And they are ALL different, because we have SO MANY options from stats to build around. Like, wow! It's crazy. ***Continued below*** My Veil Jumper is actually using an alternate build in that screenshot. He is all AoE, necrotic, and damage based off of arrow count. IFYKYK... ***Continued*** Specifically, I am looking for a good Veil Ranger build for my final character. Preferably, non-necrotic... I actually want a challenge! HaHa Again, IFYKYK... Also, if you want to show off your Rook's build, in general, I love trying to read your play style through your gear. I need an excuse to put off more chores. Cheers!Hold The Line! We are On Our Own! Hahaha
Enjoy this rant I wrote after finishing breakfast. Suggested track to loop to set the mood is Meow by Lvsum. Because my voice sounds like Mark Wahlberg’s voice. See, now I ruined it… Let’s go! Before we start, I am fully aware of the elephant in the room with this game. I myself have been confused and annoyed with it at times. I am also an atonomous adult capable of hitting "skip". OKAY? DO WE UNDERSTAND? CAN WE MOVE ON? Don’t let the review bombers win! I may be responsible for this by trolling haters with PSN numbers… See the one-star review counts… Har har har If EA needs 3 million copies sold to consider Veilguard a success- erm... let's get'em there? DA:I didn't need much help to get to 12 mil in 10 years, if those numbers are to be believed, but Veilguard was expected to hit 3 mil in 3 months even with a viral campaign against it and the horror show that was development? 1.5 million is an acceptable 3 months tally in my book, but I am not a billion-dollar entertainment company that invested 100s of millions into an IP. That being said, word of mouth from fans keeping the IP alive all-over social media did help DA:I reach such a lofty number. Just like with Inquisition, I have been singing this game's praises to everyone who asks. I waded into every filthy scrum on the internet, throwing elbows and pies left and right. Even when it was seemingly fruitless, the goal was to have at least one person to “spite the ‘opps’”. I stumbled out of the melee, bruised and bloodied, only watch in utter confusion as the Bioware DA dev team turtled into a fetal position while being tucked into bed by the EA boss before he turned off the lights. Confusion led to horror as I saw “fans”, you know, short form of FANATICS, pulling an “et tu Brute?” If this game completely bombs, you may never get another Dragon Age. Some of us, who have been around since the beginning, are getting old. 30s, 40s, and even 50s, right? People will start kicking off before a new game can even enter development. Another 10-15 years is bad news. Haha Get the word out and be an ambassador if you enjoyed your experience. Take people under your wing that are curious or apprehensive about giving the game a try. Befriend and enlighten people who have had a bad experience or have been reluctant because of what haters are saying. Social media. I need not explain too much as it has already worked for DA:I. I have seen a decent amount of streams and clips from players on YouTube. Good start. No doubt while under bombardment from haters... The goal is show that there is more to the game than the elephant in the room. If I had to guess without a stopwatch, I'd say the total run time of the thorn in our collective sides actually being a thorn is 25 to 30 mins across all characters involved. A playthrough should run you 50-70ish, flying, to 100+ hours depending on the person and how invested you are. If you had a bad experience, find people who have had a good experience and inquire about what they liked and even didn’t like. Common ground is the beginning of understand you see. Rather that, than running to the first hater page you can find and drowning yourself in confirmation bias. Haha Needless to say, you will find it. “Isn’t this kind of IRONIC, considering you’re asking me to-“ SHUT UP! We are in crisis mode, Mr. Contrarian! Let me finish. Befriend someone who enjoys the game and play through a campaign in parallel. Sorry, I am full up. I have two friends with 200+ hours a piece doing share-screens on PS5 every other night. Where was I… Try a different class, sub-class, overall build, faction, race, love interest, character personality, there are three choices plus love interest, and or choices in general. Haters say choices have no impact… That is hilariously false. I have over 600 hours in this game. I will battle anyone, anywhere, any time over this. Haha. Some choices have very little impact, some make you very sad, happy, and others still will make you furious ,quick tangent, WASTING 80% OF THE GAME ON A BELLARA OR LUCANIS “SHIP”. I am on characters #4,5, and 6 out of 7. One for each love interest. I have had a blast! Is Veilguard BG3? NO! AND IT SHOULDN’T BE! GO PLAY BG3 IF YOU WANT BG3! I actually took a break from my now 2,000 hours over all characters to play Veilguard. Yeah. I did. This is a quick 80 to 100hr romp through what should be one of your favorite IPs. I don’t think I have a single playthrough under 120 hours that is through the second act of BG3. Most of that time is prepping builds, relationship management, and exploring catacombs with often underwhelming payoff. Did I mention RTS? 15 to 45 min battles… Snoozeville… It is a generational achievement, storytelling wonder, and an S rank gamer score from me, sure. Still, I call balls and strikes. At 2,000 hrs I could go on and on. Need to see what all was fixed with the latest patch. ANYWAY… Random final thought: PS5 PRO + that last patch has visuals equivalent in beauty as that of hearing my mother’s voice for the first time… Except for the armor and hair clipping in parts and places of course… It might be the most beautiful game I have seen to date on a console. For "realism" mixed with... Uh... ultra hi res Fortnite, and not the fancy artsy fartsy stuff. Flagship title well earned. Now, go forth and multip-… I mean spread the word! I will go back to fighting the good fight. I don’t want to have my mind turn to Swiss cheese before I get another game. Haha
[Feedback] Bioware missed a story opportunity (some spoilers)
My first and second playthrus done I wondered what it would be like to be a mourn watch mage meeting Lucanis for the first time. I am disappointed 😞. The whole time I felt like my Rook was the dumbest mage especially one who deals with spirits for a living. The dialogue acted like they had no idea what was going on and things Bellara were saying were things my rook should have said. But the biggest let down was when my mage couldn't see or hear Spite. Mourn watch mages should be trained to do so but nope dialogue was same as it was for other playthrus as a rogue crow and mage lord of fortune. This is the missed story opportunity. How great would it have been to be able to talk to Spite like Emmerich can? At the very least they could have added dialogue specifically for a mourn watch player.
[Discussion] Venatori camps in Arlathan Forest
After the Unwanted Guest and Blood of Arlathan Quest so have I found camps of Venatori across the forest Defeating them give exp and loot but nothing else Are they supposed to give Veil Jumper Faction strength too after defeating them or do they only give exp and loot? This is on PS5 with Patch 1.000.004
