@Ravix Monk was the first class I played as in BG3. I love the vast movement and amount of actions you get in that role. Beating enemies to a pulp in single turns.
For me personally, I don't think they can top AC Odyssey. I absolutely loved it, not for being an Assassin's Creed game, but for the brilliant highs and lows adventures of Kassandra the misthios.
I'm currently playing this again as a Drow bard. The amount of race and class specific dialogue for them both is great. I love bullying goblins as a Drow.
@Ravix Aye. I've got a dog who sheds like mad so I'm dreading to see the amount of hair in there when I do open her up. The PS5 of course, not the dog.
I remember playing AC Valhalla with everything switched off on the HUD including the compass. It looked amazing but I was constantly in and out of the map button to get my bearings.
All 3 Dragon Age games so far have had some great writing and fantastic squad banter (especially DA2) so I'm hoping that Veilguard continues that trend.
I only hope that they bring back the cinematic camera for conversations and not that zoomed out view when talking to npcs like in Inquisition/Andromeda.
Totally agree. Having a voiced protagonist gives them a lot more character. It may give them fewer dialogue options but I personally prefer my (often) created characters to look and sound angry/sympathetic/witty rather than being a mute just flicking through more text responses in a menu.
I'd take the soul survivor from Fallout 4 over the courier from Fallout New Vegas any day.
I really hope that the next Dragon Quest and Persona games feature a voiced protagonist.
He had some nice touches and that 95th minute equaliser was superb but most other times he either looked knackered or was on the deck. He is a great player, though.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Opening Will Make Inquisition's Finale Look 'Like a Minor Inconvenience'
I hope this equates to more than just 'magically spawning enemy waves until the cutscene'.
Re: Ubisoft Suggests More Development Time Required for Future Assassin's Creed Games

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won't Let You Control Companion Characters
Having just finished DA Origins, this will seem frustrating in tougher encounters, especially if your Ai controlled companions are hopeless.
