Good! I've always immensely enjoyed the voice acting in DA games, so getting more of that makes me happy :)

I'm glad Bioware still has voiced custom protagonists, when the consensus in the industry seems to be silent is better for roleplay (and obviously budget plays a big part).

Fingers crossed for DA2 personality system to make a comeback !

Yeah this was so weird.

I also didn't enjoy the instances in Origins where Dwarves would somehow not know about Dwarf culture.

Quantity =/= Quality

I remember the same thing about Mass Effect Andromeda, they said something along the lines of "more dialogue than the last 3 games combined" but it didn't help that game at all and it gave us lines like "my face is tired"

Mass Effect Andromeda was doomed from the very start, people leaving like flies and quiting and red flags throught the entire production up until the very end and stiull is a failure unlees you look at it as its own game and including it was an entir new studio opend for Andromeda with people with no experience about Mass Effect. Which we havent seen in veilguard where it have only been positivity

So to put i bluntly Andromeda became garbagde with red flag from very start of production to the very end. Veilguard had only one ♥♥♥♥♥ trailer due to bad comunication with EA and Bioware

Does this factor in each "Rook" voice or does one divide the number of "Rook" voices into that total?

Maybe try reading the article. There might be answers within.

Nice =)

I like that idea that the voice actors have been working with their characters for such a long time. Then they would have gotten time to really get to know their characters.

Thank you for linking it.

If you were following the production of Dreadwolf for a five years you'd knew the red flags.
1. The development hell.
2. The game name change few month before the release like Anthem
3. Writers layoffs.
4. Art style changes

Miracle can happen like it was with the Star wars the fallen order where from dev hell and struggle they managed to release a great game. But it's a tiny chance.

Yeah. No amount of paid marketing will rewrite history. They are all acting like the development was "smooth", but we know the truth. Seems that this articles are for Bioware themselves, not even they are believing their own product.

What do you expect them to say?
"Sorry guys we know we laid off a bunch of people and we couldn't really decide on what we wanted this game to be for the longest time and also we scrapped everything and started over a couple times but it's still a good game, promise"

This is good news. I hope this game turns out to be as good as Greedfall from a true RPG point of view.

I find the banter to be a little bit too slow in DA:I. I like it a lot, banter is great. It just feels like my party is too quiet. Hope that they will be a little bit more talkative in Veilguard. It seems promising that there is a good amount of recorded material.
