Dragon Age: The Veilguard for both. I didn't think I would like it all that much. I don't even remember why I bought it. But I ended up loving it so much 😍

Get some good squish growing. We had one fantastic year of zucchini, yellow, butternut, and acorn squash, but every year since has been a fail. Hoping to recapture the magic.

Playing Sea of Stars with my 2 kids. We're having a lot of fun with it so far.

Amazing! I can't believe I've never seen The Green Slime. Tom Servo was silver 🤯

Playing Solasta. Our D&D group had fallen apart, and we just didn't seem to be able to get a new game together. Solasta scratched that D&D itch like no game before it has. My wife got really into it, too, so we ended up adventuring for hundreds of hours together.

Playing through the entire Dragon Age series, then Pillars of Eternity and Sea of Stars.

I've done a bit of streaming from my PC to my deck, and I get occasional but noticeable stutter, which I don't understand, because I can stream Xbox game pass perfectly. 🤔

Dragon Age: Origins. Playing on the Deck, and it's taken a while to get used to the remapped PC controls. The game definitely feels 15 years old. Still, the story and characters are good.

I see some similarities to newer games like BG3, like the idea of the camp, and having a large number of companions to switch between. I actually didn't like this in BG3. I think the Lighthouse setup in Veilguard, while mechanically similar, felt, and fit into the story, much better.

This is my last one, too. First time playing it, about 30 hours in now. Planning to play through all the older DA games before doing another playthrough of Veilguard.

Oh, I didn't even realize it's already out!

I just played Dragon Age Veilguard, and I'm now playing Dragon Age Origins, which was released 15 years ago. The difference in graphics and animation are startling. And it has a big effect on my enjoyment of the game. Origins is considered by many to be the best in the series, and I can see that they poured a ton into story options and such. But it doesn't feel nearly as good as playing Veilguard.

Amazing graphics might not make or break a game, but the minimum level of what's acceptable is always rising. Couple that with higher resolutions and other hardware advances, and art budgets are going to keep going up.

Dragon Age Origins. It's definitely a bit rough to play on steam deck without proper controller support, but after playing Veilguard, I want to see what I've been missing these last 15 years.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard | 9/10 I loved this game so much. It literally made me cry at one point. The story and characters were phenomenal.

Super Mario Wonder | 7/10 fun with the family.

Solasta | 9/10 Finished yet another playthrough with my wife. It's the best D&D video game.

I just started Inquisition. I'm looking forward to learning more about the characters that appear in the Veilguard.

Well, it crashed on launch, for one. I saw there's a '4GB' fix, but that doesn't let me launch from steam, and I wanted to stream to the steam deck, where I do almost all my gaming these days.

I really loved Veilguard, but I've definitely seen people who played Origins complain about it. I thought the characters, story, and combat were fantastic though.

I just finished The Veilguard at 68 hours. I loved it, but haven't played Origins. I bought it, but refunded after I saw how buggy and unsupported it is on new hardware these days. Maybe they'll have a remaster some day, since everyone seemed to love it.

I wouldn't be concerned. We get jumbo eggs from time to time.

Hah, I actually just busted out pen and paper for Dragon Age Veilguard, although it was to compare companion stats, and nothing to do with the story.

This actually sounds like depression. Being unable to find joy, and then unsuccessfully searching for it in places where you used to find it. I would consider talking to a professional if you can.

Or try Dragon Age Veilguard.

So, is this actually going to be enforced? I'm seeing non stop political posts, and it's making me hate this community
