Just occurred to me that criticisms of Dragon Age Veilguard are a lot like criticisms that Baldur's Gate 3 received when it was revealed (but before early access). Too bright and cheery, graphics too cartoony, combat too different compared to the previous games. I know it doesn't mean that Veilguard will be GOTY or anythiing :D more like... I just really want to play it for myself and see.

I was apprehensive about BG3, but still bought it when it went into early access. But I've been apathetic about Veilguard, and what little I've heard through osmosis (that it's now God of War meets Dragon Age for instance) has largely turned me off. I think the main difference is that I had come to trust Larian by the time BG3 was announced so even if it wasn't like the originals I still thought it'd be a good game. I don't have the same faith in BioWare.

I've put in over 170 hours into BG3 and still can't get past Act 1, I just keep walking away because the world and style just doesn't grab me.

I'm going to try again this weekend but man I wish I loved the game as much as I'm supposed to.

You're not "supposed" to enjoy things just because other people do. Just drop it.
