I say this as someone with no major love of BioWare. I’ve been cringing at their writing for half my life.
They’ve always been great at moments, one-liners, and at least a few characters per game. This is still true as of Veilguard.
“Bad writing” is a cowardly way of masking “Waaah DEI.”

I would play Veilguard but character proportions give me uncanny valley that I cannot shake.
I will admit I’m surprised to see this because from all of the clips I’ve seen the writing *seemed* pretty bad. I really hope I end up thinking it’s fun like you did.
It kind of reminds me of the writing in midnight sun
like command and conquer. :B
Like a lot of writing in the industry, it unravels upon closer scrutiny.
Which, like, 20 years ago I can understand, nowadays we've largely moved on
These guys are pizza cutters: all edge, no point. They confuse "grim" with "good writing".
ME2 is one of my favorite games ever. The final mission in that game alone is amazing. But the whole game is comprised of moments, great moments, but not a cohesive narrative all the way through.
not that 2 was the epitome of literature but it was at least enjoyable, i don't think I've enjoyed a single bioware story since
granted i haven't played any veilguard yet. but having listened to cohh's talk about the writing doesn't have me hopeful
But yeah the original Mass Effect trilogy is just one massive plot hole.
