As Dragon Age: The Veilguard's bold new tone gets bashed by fans, the RPG's original co-creator explains trailers are always mismatched, "so that doesn't mean much"
Veilgꦚuard is seemingly ditching the bloodier, dark fantasy stylings of Origins

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: The Veilguard (previously known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf or Dragon Age 4) has reared it🍷s head with a new trailer after years in the murky shadows of game development, showing off a much brighter, bolder, d🌃ivisive take on the beloved dark fantasy world. But Dragon Age's original lead writer has quelled fan concerns.
David Gaider was once BioWare's lead writer on all three Dragon Age games and is often credited as the setting's main architect - though, nowadays, he can be seen directing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:musical theatre RPGs at his own studio - so, he's pretty clued into the worldꦫ of Thedas. Gaider recently took to social media to call Veilguard's boisterous personality an "interesting tone choice," while acknowledging that early trailers can of𓄧ten butt heads with the final product.

Dozens of comments under the Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailer embedded above complain about the long, long-awaited game's fancy visual flourishes and less-than-serious tone. Reminds me more of Guardians of the Galaxy's ragtag gro🧸up of carefree misfits, as opposed to Dragon Age: Origin's blood-covered, edgier party - at least at first glance.
"The art style of [Dragon 𒅌Age] trailers has never really matched the games, so that doesn't mean much," Gaider in the game's defense. "One thing the trailer left me wondering: can I... be a hero? Not sure 'this is your power fantasy' was underlined enough."
"DA fans (and anti-fans) will be 💫all over the place, I'm certain," he adds. "Nothing's worse for a fan than the initial reveal of what a game actually is, because it's simultaneously popping all those imaginary hope balloons of what the game could have been. The end of so many dreams🌄."
Whether Veilguard pops the dark fantasy bubble or goes back to the series' roots remains to be seen, but at least the 10-year wait is almost over. Dragon Age: The Veilguard i🐎s du🎐e to launch this fall with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:s🎐even companions and some returning f🌠aces too. BioWare is also airing a 15-minute walkthrou✨gh on June 11 wher✨e we'll get a clearer picture on what's up.
