Art Style Change

[Toasty]

Anybody else feel like they messed with the art style and UI so much that It feels like a mobile game?

As to art style, that’s a preference thing. As to UI, I will say that good design often scales.

I appreciate a clean, contextual UI with easy-to-identify information, and which doesn’t feel like it is taking you completely out of the game.

Having abilities on a centered wheel, instead of bottom bar, for example, minimizes pause time and eye fatigue.

And having companions move and react within menus makes those menus feel less divorced from the main gaming experience.

Generally anybody who says this has never seen what the best graphics on mobile look like.

The UI, well i need to play it before i can tell if i like it or not.

As for the art style, playing Inquisition for 10 years now with almost 4000 hours. Veilguard is not my taste, far from it. Had hoped and i must say that was what i had in my mind for 10 years, for a more realistic style. An almost ,'I can feel the skin realistic kind of game'. I am not 18 anymore for a long time. I had hoped for an more adult art theme...

happy to know that mod makers will make this DA more mature then it is now

The art style is not like a mobile game. i have seen all the reveals and game play and the characters look so good. I have seen mobile games and to compare this game to that is just absurd. The art style is somewhat stylized but is very nice graphically. The game looks gorgeous. It certainly looks way better than Inquisition did.

As far as the UI, the devs have stated that some things can be turned off so I think they are making it to where you can change certain UI things to show or not to. Like the damage and health bar I would imagine you could turn those off as developer mentioned in one play they turned off their own health bar, and the arrows that show where damage is coming from they said those can be turned off as well. They also have stated there is gore and blood that can be turned on or off. In many of the videos of game play shown the blood is likely off so the videos do not get age restricted on youtube. It seems customizable from what devs have said but we will see just how customizable the UI is on release.

lol which mobo game did u play

Don't get me wrong, the Scenery is amazing looking based off of what we were shown. However with the character and Armor design, something just felt off when watching the Progression Deep Dive.

I guess I'm just Used to the series going towards a realistic character design in the previous games.

Corypheus wearing High Heels makes me happy because of how fast he can actually sprint at you with them on. I was laughing when that happened. Usually he floats around but that one cutscene where he runs... Amazing.

I never Noticed that lol

Are you a woman or someone that prefers feminine characters?

It’s a popular niche , just not amongst those who liked the dark gritty and powerful looking characters of Dragon Age Origins/DAI etc

It’s ok to have different tastes, but pretty characters and a Disney aesthetic for the design of the game just isn’t appealing to fans of dragon age. Like they had characters like that in all of the games…now every character looks feminine and weak.

to me it's irrelevant since it has no impact on story-telling, rpg elements or gameplay. if this artstyle helps them cater to a wider demographic which in turn will help them fund, develop more ambitious projects, then I see no reason to criticize the devs.

Well I haven't seen a femboy character yet. But I thought people liked feminine female characters because games have been making female characters look more like men lately so isn't that a good thing?

Maybe Yo”rr is experiencing some complicated feelings when he looks at Lucanis’ cheekbones, and doesn’t know how to express those feelings other than by lashing out.
