DA:I did a tone-shift from dark fantasy towards high fantasy. Personally I prefer hf to df, but I can see that it is a different vibe. This? This did a tone shift from hf to Guardians of the Galaxy. And I don't think this tone can deliver on what they set up with the Dreadwolf at the end of Trespasser
DAO is my favorite game of all time. Seeing the series get progressively worse (I hated the switch to High Fantasy, and this looks even worse) is really disheartening.
I just don't understand, why even make a fucking Dragon Age game if you're going to completely change the tone? (It's a rhetorical question, the answer is obviously that they're trying to cash-in on the brand recognition).
Based and level-headed-pilled
(I’m sorry for my shitpost comment but I mean it)
Thanks for the explanation. Had the same feeling but couldn't describe it. They definitely took the high fantasy route and even 'cartoonize' it further, which is kind of what DA is not about.
