At some point you gotta forget what a YouTuber from the early 2010s said about a video game and just try the game out for yourself and see what you think.

I think some of #DragonAgeTheVeilguard players might have missed this, but the Disapproval system isn’t about your Rook. It’s about the companions and their emotional states. (A mini 🧵)

Canonically all my Rooks are silly little guys that got caught up in world ending events so I’d say my Warden Rook might have like a poster of the HoF on his walls and definitely thinks Hawke is cool af from Varrics stories but would be bored to tears thinking about Inky (too serious and political)
Hi friends!! I have another #RQotD for you all today.

How does your Rook feel about the previous heroes of Thedas? (HoF, Hawke, Inquisitor)

QRP or reply with your answer!

John has the kind of humility and integrity that you don't always see in project leadership, and I value it. A lot. He and Corinne both care deeply about this game and franchise, and it genuinely confuses me how anyone can't see that - whether you disagree with character interpretations or not.

Didn’t think subtext needed elaboration, but sure:

Constructive criticism is OKAY.

I’ve repeatedly said Veilguard is not a perfect game. It’s fine to have discussions about its (lack of) effectiveness or what have you.

What I am talking about here is HARASSMENT.

Thanks 🙏🏼

I'm proud to have worked with John Epler for well over a decade. Collaborating with him on the narrative of Veilguard was one of the highlights of my career. All the narrative folks worked together as a team to make our story, and John helped create some of my favorite moments. ❤️

The aggressive grifters and bots leading up to release was one thing. This is a whole other mess.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, and both have spikes.

I really feel for the devs cause for the last decade, DATV went through 9 circles of hell. They fought internally for this game to come out as it did. No multiplayer, no not-to-be-mentioned BS, and as many inclusions as possible.

And yet still, they get ripped on and harassed to shit

I love BioWare and I have found most of it's fans to be very sweet but the tiny minority of fanatics that have decided they are the gatekeepers of lore and the true "meaning" or whatever that is just annoy most of us and now you've driven off a developer. Can you funsucks just go away? #Dragonage

Hey Blue Sky, what if we didn't--hear me out--harass the people who make the stories we love and force them to delete their social media accounts?

Exactly!!!! And I know people go all “toxic positivity”. Blah blah blah. But honestly I don’t care. Capitalism screws us all over, collectively. I will always extend grace to fellow workers who are trying to do their jobs amidst a system that legit tries its best to hate on the workforce

Like!!! They fought tooth and nail to try and get us this game. With all the mishaps. With the way the industry has been spiraling for decades. With everything that EA pressured them with like the live service. They fought, pled their case and STILL Gamers™️ are talking shit 🤦🏾‍♀️

Seriously, this feels like an out-of-body experience: Did we play the same game, fam?
The vitriol is abhorrent. The need for people to touch grass is critical.
Finally saw some of the tweets about the AMA & all I can think is… do people have zero idea how writer’s’ rooms work?Are they unaware that whenever you’re creating a project with multiple writers,everyone fights for their choices so there’s a variety of options reflective of fans varied interests??

So much of game criticism right now is about some level of realism or coherence within a fantasy world when none of that matters. You used to play Chrono Trigger and you’d run into a talking frog and it wouldn’t be a thing, he’d just be a frog who talked in Medieval English. You’d go ok and have fun
