For Halloween, a new opus of this 15-year-old license is released. A manager of the renowned Baldur's Gate 3 secretly tested it and he says: it's “brilliant”! The game in question even has a good chance of competing for the title of “Best Role-playing Game of the Year” for the Game Awards.
This Halloween, we celebrate monsters! And you're going to have to complete a lot of them in Bioware's latest game: Dragon Age: The Veilguard. If you want to get an idea before buying it, know that we tested it before giving it a very good 17/20. A publications manager at Larian, the Baldur's Gate 3 studio, also tried the experiment, and he spoke on X.

Age of Dragons
It was as a good fan of the Bioware license that Michael Douce from Larian secretly played The Veilguard and he explains why he thinks it is “the first Dragon Age that knows what it wants to be”. By comparing it to an addictive Netflix series that we would binge-watch, he highlights its strengths of the software:
An honestly brilliant combat system (for me, it's a mix between Xenoblade and Hogwart who is a genius with a big brain). He knows when to exploit narrative moments and he knows when to let you frolic around with your team.
A technical quality achieved in particular thanks to the great attention to detail of the developers who say they have spent 500,000 hours testing the game on all platforms. It's an understatement to say that public expectations are high after Dragon Age Inquisition (2014), which has a press score of 85 on Metacritic and which was even voted Game of the Year at the 2014 Game Awards.
A problematic opinion?
In response to Michael Douce's tweet, Internet users accuse him of not being frank. In essence, he is accused of not telling the truth so as not to “hurt someone else's feelings” and that his expression on The Veilguard is “disrespectful to Baldur's Gate 3”. Another says Larian's manager has unpopular opinions, as he believes Star Wars Outlaws deserves the Game of the Year award. To respond to these criticisms, Michael Douce recalls that “everyone is different” and that the two productions of Bioware and Larian are “two things that are not at war”.
