idgaf about the items, insane OST like these are worth supporting

Dragon Age: Veilguard made by the same studio that had created superb RPG in the past called Bioware is a beautiful role-playing game with a well-written and exciting story and distinguishable and complex characters set in a world that feels connected and immersive. It has challenging puzzles and combat requiring a tactical approach, exploiting enemy weaknesses as well as keeping your companions alive in order for you to succeed. The environment is sublime and the VFX pimped to the maximum. The performance stable and smooth on the high default preset for me. (i7-12700K, 8 gb RTX 2060 super)

-10/10

The last 1/3 of the "story" is pretty rushed and inconsistent;plot/leads stop abruptly with no conclusion, but the gameplay is fantastic and prolly its selling point. The combat, the pawns, travelling, exploring and collecting are fun. A pity that DD 1 has had insanely cool magic with no equal pretty much, while in DD2 they rather made a bazillion steps back..
The amount of content compared to its predecessor make DD2 seem as though a demo version. Somehow you can still manage to get >300 hours of joy out of it so..
Worth it.

Game breaking bugs, spaghetti code, a lot of items and abilities don't work. In 6 months when they fixed their FR game again it will be an amazing 40k cRPG but until then thumbs down

spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine
shrieking skulls will shock your soul, seal your doom tonight

Solid game like their previous Divinity releases, but feels more like a Divinity 3 with dnd setting.

I wish PB's rpg would feature character customization or optional female protagonists but their games are amazing nonetheless.

was worth it alone for the silly romance and dialogues

Owlcat has bloody fantastic OST, I love WotR's OST. It's easily at the top for me, along with the music of the LotR and Star Wars movies.
The game is insanely epic like certain events and such. Heavy emphasis on RP, lots of opportunities and freedom with distinct paths and choices that carry actual consequences and are reflected in a couple of different ways. Ranges from inconsequential fluff to things interacting with gameplay mechanics, contradictions and conflicts that go beyond "Jane Doe disliked that", tragedy that isn't purged from your memory after 5 minutes and pure evil.
I like the might and magic style army battles and the diplomacy edicts thingies.
It's a very minor thing but I enjoy how they always make the path you take change the atmosphere and details of the main hub. It's the small unnecessary things like this.
Most of the typical aspects of the genre are well-made like writing comparable to normal fantasy novels, environment and atmosphere, tough combat (Core difficulty for example) that primarily requires you to figure out builds and the numbers.
Not everything and everyone has a voice-over, but when there is one, it's very good and okay at worst.

too few updates for the mess it is. could be such an amazing game like mordheim is..
