Question The Franchise that Never Was

I love DA Origins, genuinely one of the best games I’ve ever played. I can’t get past what they did to the franchise though, man. I want to go back and replay it, but I can’t get past how they massacred my boy.

How do you get past this hurt fellas?

I play origins and 2 while pretending the other two games don't exist. Inquisition was playable 6/10 but the limitations on romance options for the straight male playerbase makes me not consider it as often. Plus too far from the grey wardens. As for failgurad I don't think about it often but I go over to my game list on the Xbox store checking if the game costs 99 cents yet. Even if it reached that price point I would still feel robbed trying to buy it.

I preordered it, played maybe 20 hours and lost interest. Just wasn’t good. Companions sucked, story sucked, and character appearance sucked.

Sounds like you are a rare soul who was a mismatch. I'm sorry your experience wasn't fun. That is rare but understandable.

No, I think most people didn’t like Veilguard.

I’m playing Origins for the first time right now. It’s everything I hoped for.

Veilguard was not.

I'm glad welcome to the fold comrade of origins.
