Thanks a lot Ashe. Your video made me cry. 😭

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

💝

myiedei.bsky.social•180 days ago

i've watched it and would like to thank you for it and also... for the (visual) taash bits. it has helped to quench my anxiety to play the game in 3 days🥹💖

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

Oooh enjoy Taash! Hope you enjoy the game 💛

myiedei.bsky.social•180 days ago

thank you so much!! your video really tells me that i might enjoy it more than i was expecting to🫶

nomore3.bsky.social•180 days ago

Ashe was this a fast or slow playthur ?

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

I know Act 1 well so I ran through that quickly, but took my time the rest of it

casiogreg.bsky.social•155 days ago

Sounds like a 8-5 Monday thru Friday. Only 80.8 hours? Seems like Inquisition is longer

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•154 days ago

I played Act 1 several times before my official review as part of the Council, so it’d be longer for a regular player.

wickeditalian.bsky.social•167 days ago

I watched this today & had a lot of the same feelings as you. I started Dragon Age 4 yrs ago in Nov and the impact still hits me the same. I cried while watching & I agree with you; this was bittersweet & I too, am beside myself. I absolutely love the Veilguard, for its faults & victories.

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•167 days ago

🫂 it really hits home when this game finished up, way too many emotions. And thank you for watching and sharing in this 🥹

dukat.bsky.social•180 days ago

I'll listen to the video later this evening, but 81ish hours seems kinda low for a Dragon Age game, except for maybe DA2.

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

Before this playthrough, I've done Act 1 twice through before so I knew how to do it fast. Other people would likely take longer

dukat.bsky.social•180 days ago

So roughly 90-100 hours, far more normal for a Dragon Age game. That's good to hear. Your videos have been instrumental about making me feel better on buying it. (wont pre-order, got burned on Star Wars: Outlaws)

brandnewiain.bsky.social•180 days ago

So I don't mean this as an attack on you or anything, we all have our preferences etc but I feel like 70-80 hours seems like a lot? As in without having seen any of the game I would start to worry about the tightness of the story. It looks good to me and I have preordered, but just my opinion

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

Oh no you're good! I actually think this game is much tighter and controlled than past games. You're not fiddling around with a ton of useless side quests either

brandnewiain.bsky.social•180 days ago

Honestly that sounds great. I've taken some time off work so I feel like I'm very much at risk of just rushing through the entire game without sleeping the first time through :D I've also been excited for this game since the map was stabbed in...2015? So I'm likely to be a mess once I complete it :D

ssv-simon.bsky.social•180 days ago

Hey Ashe,

I've watched your video & I have three words for you!!!!

'Beautiful'

And

'Thank you!!' 💜

muirnara.bsky.social•166 days ago

Ashe, OMG I FOUND you!! Gonna watch RN and super excited for the one you just announced!!

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•166 days ago

Hiii! And please keep your expectations low for the next one, I feel I may anger a lot of people out of nowhere 😂

muirnara.bsky.social•166 days ago

Awwwwww, it's okay, no worries. I think it's important to criticize this game (Even though I loved it) but without fuelling a certain...crowd? The extremes are SO OFF THE CHARTS atm...idk, I just want a little bit of love to counter all the review bombing etc? Hope that makes sense.

clubneon.com•132 days ago

I started to watch this video when you uploaded it, but even without spoilers I thought it was telling me too much. I finally finished the game today (saw your "name" in the credits), and then your video too. It was a nice cap on things. I'm going to miss Thedas, after having spent 120+ hours there.

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•131 days ago

Grats on finishing the game! Yeah, it really is a kind of crazy feeling with it being done. Still feels unreal

blackwallmancer.bsky.social•180 days ago

Thank you <3

jonjonjon.bsky.social•180 days ago

I think that's how much time I spent in the Hinterlands!

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

hope you have fun in the crossroads then, it's hinterlands on steroids 😂

sleepisfort.bsky.social•179 days ago

May I just say you are not the only one who really really likes your Rook 😍 Watched your vid last night, and the way you piped in with some overtired thoughts and sketched out what the series and getting to experience this meant to you was wonderful. You speak for many of us, we have been waiting

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•179 days ago

Thank you!! 🥹

daneplaysrpg.bsky.social•179 days ago

Well said 🙏🏼🙏🏼

lizzysizzy.bsky.social•179 days ago

I cannot wait to customize my Rook! The hair is just gorgeous!🤩🤩

bookishmeow.bsky.social•180 days ago

Ahhhh this game is gonna wreck me, isn't it?

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

Ok, I couldn't wait, I watched it and it makes me so happy! ❤️ Some of my friends reviewed it & they also love it. It's so great for me to see all the people around me love Veilguard, especially since I know we have similar likes/dislikes. Thursday can't come soon enough.

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy it too, it really is great 😭

leupagus.bsky.social•180 days ago

Can you point me to the positive reviews from your friends? A LOT of the youtube videos I've seen are from people determined to hate it and I've been getting discouraged

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

I can, but they are in German 😅 I will share the links with you either way, maybe you can make sth of it with Google Translate. GamePro gave it a 92/100, my friends are editors & it was 5 people playing it, contributing to the review :) https://www.gamepro.de/artikel/dragon-age-the-veilguard-review,3421823.html

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

Honestly, if you're unsure about the game I recommend you check out some positive & some negative videos/review - personally, I'm biased bc I love the franchise, but if you want like videos from fans who love DA, go with Ashe, Kala and so on. I'll post some links :)

leupagus.bsky.social•180 days ago

Oh no I'm 100% buying and playing this game and probably weeping through the next weekend; I just want to avoid all the shitty "DRAGON AGE AND BIOWARE ARE WOKE GARBAGE BLARGH PRONOUNS BLERBLORP TOP SURGERY SCARS? GROSS AND WEIRD YARGLE FARGLE" videos that keep popping up. Thanks for the recs though!

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

I just realized I shared Ashe's video in a thread about her... Video 🤣🤣🤣

leupagus.bsky.social•180 days ago

Hahaha listen, I appreciate this and tbh I need to rewatch Ashe's video anyway!

Thanks again, seriously this was so nice of you.

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

Also, the people making the videos, not my friends. I meant my friends when I was referring to the German article :D, just in case.

Here's another review which is positive with some criticism

https://youtu.be/oA0rdiN0J7U?si=Hl4o5VaiLiUTmvPU

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

Also love her <3 she gave thoughts about story (no spoilers) less about gameplay

https://youtu.be/rcTvs_Wg1kk?si=u_GRDzN9_0Cm99tN

jannlee360.bsky.social•180 days ago

Will watch it after I've played myself. Looking forward to it! <3

toodotnil.bsky.social•180 days ago

This was absolutely wonderful, thank you for this.

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

thank you for watching!!

4isdaname.bsky.social•180 days ago

For what it's worth, thank you for making that video, Ashe!! I'm more excited to play this game and see it for myself. Sorry I didn't comment on the video; I didn't want to get spoiled since peeps out there trying to ruin stuff for others, lol! TY again and have a good Monday/rest of your week!!

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

thank you! i totally understand, this is literally the best time to tune out since there are some bad actors out there. i've been doing my best to control the bad spoiler people in my comments but they're out there haha. have a great monday and week to you, too!!!

daneplaysrpg.bsky.social•180 days ago

I’ll watch tonight , can’t wait Ashe 🫶🏼

madeupofstars.bsky.social•180 days ago

Very random question! Are there more bard songs???? The bard songs from Inquisition were weirdly one of my favorite parts of the game. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

ladyinsanity.bsky.social•180 days ago

I don't recall hearing any new ones, but there are some of DAI's in the game!

madeupofstars.bsky.social•180 days ago

Great! That's all I needed, sometimes I just stop and listen to bards 😭❤️❤️
