Summary

BioWare dropped a new Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailer last night ahead of tomorrow's gameplay reveal.
However, it's not going down well. At the time of writing, it already has over 120,000 dislikes.
Many are upset with the tone, art style, quippy dialogue, and use of pop music.

BioWare finally gave us a new look at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard last night with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a CGI trailer ahead of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tomorrow's gameplay reveal. But fans aren't completely sold on the sequel, with the trailer reaching a staggering 120,000 dislikes (according to the YouTube extension) as many decry its tone and aesthetic.

"If I didn't know it was Dragon Age I would've thought it's something like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch or Fortnite," one fan wrote on , garnering over 4,000 upvotes. "I'm gonna wait for the gameplay reveal until I make up my mind but I'm extremely disappointed".

It seemed a little cheesy for sure. To an outsider⛦, iꦫt seems super generic, to a fan, it looks like everything stagnated after the end of DAI.

"It's focusing on light-hearted comedy for a game that's set up to be about an apocalyptic end to the world," another Reddit user commented. "The end of Inquisition had a few core members of that organisation talking sadly about what would have to be done to stop Solas [...] Then the trailer for the sequel comes out and it's, 'Oh hey look, we're being funny with a brightly coloured art style".

Dragon Age Fans Aren't Happy With All The Quipping

One of the big complaints with the trailer is the quippy dialogue, which🔯 immediately drew c🔯omparisons to the MCU and its Joss Whedon brand of humour.

"I am so fu--ing tired of that dialogue style throughout fiction," one fan commented. "It was nice watching Dune to have a sci-fi fantasy blockbuster that WASN'T a god damned quip fest. The Marvel style is extremely played out".

It's giving 'B-tier Marvel movie that won't stop quipping' vibes.

"Dragon Age has always had its quips, banter, and funny moments, but it always felt well-placed and appropriate, as an aside to a setting that's been a bit grimdark and overall has taken itself relatively seriously," another said. "This gives off completely opposite vibes."

"The tone 🥃is so jarring and over the top goofy," one fan add𒅌ed. "Feels like some shi--y Netflix/Marvel movie vibe".

Perhaps tomorrow's in-game footage will sway the community, but right now, one look at Twitter, the subreddit, and the trailer itself, and you'll see a torrent of backlash taking hold.
