UPDATE 4pm UK: Dragon Age game director Corinne Busche has now confirmed her departure from BioWare and EA in a stateme…
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.
I agree; the game itself is very enjoyable. But DA largely felt darker than this game does. And the animations are… Unpleasantly cartoonish. Again: it’s fun. It just doesn’t fit.

I quite love the game, but it just doesn’t feel like a DA game. Feels like it was crunch-timed to death with people trying hard to save it.
