3x the budget of Baldur's Gate 3.

[The Guardian Fox]

Given that fact, would it be correct to assume this game offers even more player choice and dialogue options throughout the campaign? I love it when RPG's let you play the roles you want to play.

Hahah, guess you're asking this question because you know this game is slop and has no choice.

If you are right about this costing 3X what BG3 was then I don't know what to say. This game has no choices compared to BG3. The loot was better in BG3 the story was better. The interaction with your companions in BG3 was better. Dragon Age is like going back to the 90 of RPG's this is a big step backwards in gaming. I don't own the game on Steam I bought it on EA and have played over 30Hr I have finished the game and it was a big let down and it was very hard to finish it was boring at the end it was so much of just the same. Oh and I went in thinking this can't be as bad as they say as a lot of time people complain about things in this game and it is not as bad as they make it out to be most of the time it is just down to relay bad righting but this game oh my it was so full of it and pushed it in your face so much it was just too much. It just pushes you out of the story and what is going on. I will be avoiding EA and there games if this is the detection they are going because this is just so badly written. If you do get this game I would keep my expectations low and wait for a sale and the price is very low.

Troll figure, as usual.

At least EA didnt need to sell 30% of its owned shares to fund it...I mean, if we're going to be snarky and nasty, right?

Or putting the game as early access for 2 years at full price for that matter.

Baldur's Gate 3 cost 100 million to develop. Considering that game only took 5 years to make, we can assume Dragon Age the Veilguard cost at least double the cost of Baldur's Gate 3 since The Veilguard not only needed 10 years to make, but was restarted three times during that period. Not only did it go through three restarts, it lost lead developers and writers multiple times. That would cost more money to sign newer people on.

One is an Indie Studio. The other is a multiple billion dollar company. Lets keep is a buck.

Larian is an indie studio?

Tolkien wrote one of the best stories of all time, he lived on a modest small income.
All you need is talent and time, money can help to find more talent and reduce time but you'll saturate quickly.
You could pour a trillion USD on Bioware and this wouldn't make a difference in the outcome of this game.
Amazon demonstrated that recently with their Power-rings dumpster fire.

I'm quite convinced that you could get Dragon Age "The Veilguard" fully developed from nothing to a magnificent state in 3 years with about 5 million USD. Possibly half of that sum.
It's not about money, it's not about development time or team size.

All you need is a competent core.

BG3 back to top selling again
Meanwhile dragon age veguard released for less than a month already disappeared from the chart
Game is mega success boys, the chuds gonna be mad

Too bad most RPGs force me into the role of a nature-hating POS who's mission is basically to wipe out everything that isn't human for a goal that only benefits one species and its lookalikes.

Any Studio that is not under a Publisher is an Indie Studio.

It ist just short for: "Independant"
Has nothing to do with the Budged they have, or how Large it is.

[GM Morgan]

Even if that's true (and I don't know that it is), DA4 was cancelled and restarted 3 times in 10 years. The amount of technical debt you build up doing that is massive. Releasing this game isn't so much about making money as it is trying to recoup the losses incurred from the Anthem and Andromeda eras of leadership.

You are incorrect on that assumption, this game is a railroad where your choices barely even matter and you can't even insult or kick your companions from the party! You are stuck with whining babies the entire game! Enjoy being a babysitter!

[NeoVICT]

If this game would have the same freedom as BG3, none of the characters given to me as a choice would end up in my party, all of them would be dead in seconds.
