the story being told in Veilguard is so painfully close to today's reality that it made me cry while fighting the two dragons on the night of Nov 5, I was feeling so hopeless before the Crows showed up to help, the news making me feel small and lost

yep. multiple times during the fever dream that was finishing VG in 5 days i felt like the devs turned directly to the camera and said "fascism is bad." "abusing people is bad." "power corrupts." - like, they could not have been any more clear if the game came with a mandatory tattoo.
it's absolutely stunning to me that "critics" actually think this is "bad" somehow. VG is a STATEMENT. DA was always an anti-authoritarian critique but this time, they skipped the unreliable narrators b/c they (correctly) assumed that large parts of the audience are too dense to get it.
I know very well some critics say that because they don't like the unified tone, they like games where they can also be mean and kick the people living on the streets of Dock Town
while other people had a lot of expectations but the dev team was on a mission to make this message very clear
the Evanuris were terrible, I don't think anyone disagrees here
they were terrible to the Titans, the Dwarves, then to their own people, then to the Magisters that tried to reach them, then to anyone on their path, even the Venarori who thought they would benefit from their power
-that's the point-
