It’s tough to express how much of a bummer this whole mess has been. Veilguard is such an embarrassingly lazy, shallow experience.
Placing all of the blame on Busche isn’t fair, as she was brought in at the end of the development process, but it was her leadership that prevented the game from getting the extra time it needed.
The creative and design aspects of the game’s failure falls primarily on John Epler’s lap.
BioWare was so special for such a long time. Watching them fumble the ball directly into the deepest part of the toilet three times in a row feels completely insane.
Fuck EA forever, man.
Maybe it is, idk. Doesn’t really change the fact that the character is absolutely unlikeable. There’s also no real explanation on the “why” - it’s just a disrespectful, rude and arrogant character, and that’s how most people saw that character.
This topic would be great fot a dontnod game in the style of life is strange where the background of the character is represented appropriately so you actually have a chance to understand the character and why these negative character traits exist in the first place.
Veilguard was just the completely wrong platform for this kind of character development.
Dunno where you saw that, steamdb (https://steamdb.info/app/1845910/) has it listed on 38.99€ at a 35% discount, which is horrendous for a not even 2 month old release.
It might just be that Taash isn’t the companion for you. I did not find them unlikable, just incredibly direct.
I found an article from about 3 or 4 weeks after release, so clearly the price dripped a couple times. And agreed, it is a bad sign for sales
