A Nuanced Critique of Veilguard

"Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Fine and Here's Why" could have been the title but I didn't want to steal from hbomberguy of all people. Anyway here's my attempt at being fair and nuanced about a highly divisive game that's ultimately mostly just mid, and I'm sure I'll get plenty of polite, measured comments. I had wanted to be onto Avowed by now but, uh, as you can tell by the runtime this kind of got away from me. It was fun to make but I'm not sure how much I'll want to do this "go through the whole work mostly chronologically" format again. Maybe for something I feel less "relevancy" pressure to get done quickly.
