I disagree actually. The gameplay was pretty darn good for Veilguard. If it had one creative vision start to finish we’d be talking about it totally differently.

If the story and characters weren’t a mess… Too many cooks and changing priorities from boardroom nonsense.

See you've just proved my point. You see, people don't play Bioware games for the gameplay. They played it for the writings, characters, and story.

Veilguard is the proof of them failing to do what they do best. It'a rough, I love bioware, but veilguard ain't it.

None of that proves the game would have been bad without EA meddling which was your thesis

Bioware botched both Anthem and Andromeda when EA was hands off. Anthem being so dogshit actively made EA change the course again.

Theres no reason to believe Bioware wouldve even made it good to begin with. They hadnt release a decent game since 2017 by that point.
