*Dragon Age: The Veilguard *is going to be divisive. It already is. When you’ve spent ten years waiting for something with an idea of what it would be in your head, if it’s not that thing, you’re bound to be disappointed. But ultimately, *The Veilguard *is not trying to accomplish the same things *Baldur’s Gate 3 *did. Its focus on action-based systems means we’re probably not going to get the highly reactive, Dungeons & Dragons-esque spells and problem-solving mechanics. But it does mean we’re going to get what looks like a frenetic action RPG that continues the story we’ve been waiting a decade for. That might not be what you wanted from Dragon Age, but that other game exists.
Baldurs Gate 3 did not copy the Dragon Age formula, Dragon Age did not create it in the first place.
DAO presented a very specific iteration of the cRPG formula, and that iteration is the closest I’ve seen to BG3.
I’m not criticizing BG3. I think it’s awesome that Larian structured the game so much around the same skeletal structure as DAO.
Oh I understand now, thanks for clarifying.
