I’m definitely not one of those GamerGate dorks. DA:V was a 100% day one but for me, as someone who enjoyed DA:I. However, after seeing some gameplay and dialogue, I lost interest. It looks and sounds like a Disney game. I understand if EA was moving toward capturing a segment of younger gamers with this entry in the series, but it didn’t seem like it was for me. I still plan to try it, but only once it’s on sale for significantly less than retail price.

Yeah unfortunately it seems like EA is still operating under the directive of "We want the Call of Duty/Fortnite audience," and DA:V is a game made to appeal to that audience. I'll never understand why they spend so much time and money to acquire incredible studios like Bioware and Visceral just to tell them "Actually those incredibly good games you made were stupid, you should make games like this."
