i give dos2 and bg3 passes where i wouldnt give them to veilguard because at least the prior two games haven't set the precedent that its worldbuilding is very morally grey and textured — they're incredibly low stakes in comparison to what dragon age has been building up towards the better part of 20 years. not that they don't play with nuance, but they don't exactly demand the audience has an opinion on the sociopolitical conflicts that dragon age sprinkles throughout their worldbuilding, not in the same way. aka, the reasons why dragon age as a series is so beloved in the first place
also, i just really really really appreciate an rpg that doesnt force me to use dogshit dialogue wheels lol . i even think that larian's origin system is proof that dialogue wheels are earnestly detrimental to the rpg experience, EVEN in the instances where you are playing the dev's original character and not your own (because that is what Rook is).
tldr i miss dark urge badly
