With all the news coming out the past couple days about The Veilguard, I'm starting to piece together a suspicion that Bioware is picking things back up where they last had decent ideas: early to mid 2010s.
I think Veilguard will feel like a stuck-in-time successor to Inquisition, stale by that period's standards and grossly outdated by today's, especially in the wake of Larian's enormous success reinvigorating the kind of game Bioware has forgotten how to make.
I've been a fan of Dragon Age since Origins and this game looks like another step towards the kind of simplified gameplay that every game has made. It's disappointing that the series has gone from an RPG to a generic 3rd person action adventure game, but given the gradual evolution of the other games it's not really surprising.
Such a nice way to sum it up. You would think that the success of Baldur's Gate 3 would show publishers that there is a (large) market for actual RPGs, but that's maybe too much to hope for.
