It felt like a whole lesson in morals, rather than a being a dark, fun RPG. Also that everyone were supposed to be friends and love each other, together with some of the cringiest dialogue I've ever seen in a fantasy RPG.
Only reason I'm mad though is because now Bioware will never have the chance to kick out the trash and redeem themselves. Quality-wise, they haven't made a good game since Mass Effect 2, maaaaaybe Mass Effect 3.
Veilguard is both better than its reputation and not good enough to defend very rigorously. Combat has its moments and I liked the environments. On the other hand, the writing is really bad, a lot of the previous lore was glossed over (where are all the slaves in Tevinter?) the dialogue choices are super limited, and the best parts were basically ripped from ME2.
It's a 7/10: no regrets playing it, didn't hate it, not likely to ever play it again.
Yes its better than the hate it got. Its not that much better to make it worth defending. People act like it was a 1/10 when its like 5. No reason to defend a game you wouldn't recommend to your friends.

Not even sure what they wanted with Veilguard.
