Part 2/11:
From the very outset, Dragon Age: The Veil Guard faced skepticism. Trailers and early impressions hinted that the game would diverge significantly from traditional Dragon Age themes, emphasizing progressive storytelling and "woke" narratives. Many fans felt that the trailer’s tone didn’t reflect their expectations for the franchise, which historically balanced fantasy storytelling with nuanced characters and moral ambiguity.
Despite this, mainstream media outlets like IGN championed the game, giving it high ratings—some as high as 9/10—fueling anticipation among gamers. However, once players got their hands on the game, the reception was markedly different. Frustrated fans voiced concerns about the game's narrative choices, character interactions, and overall tone.
