Sorry about that, forgot to mention it was hidden 😄 but I'm glad I could help. The game runs pretty well too (60 fps on medium settings)

@@Sword4Hire Hidden folder fiasco is not your fault. I just don’t understand Linux and trying to get better at it lol. I am pleasantly surprised how well it plays on the steam deck. Hope to see some Veilguard content in the future. Skimming through your channel now you have a lot of interesting content. Keep it up.

@@matthall5725 Thank you :)

Thank you :) It does feel a lot more immersive, Geralt's voice is also better in my opinion. That's how I imagine him sounding while reading the books

@@BB-pb3hv Just more display settings for xb series s and some bug fixes

Lol my vehicule doesn't appear. Another bug. Great

@NickCorvello Yeah, changed her character a little from origins. I don't think they thought they'd include her in the sequel when they made her character for the first game.

I heard it's fun

I remember and not saying it wasn't dark. Just appreciating some DA2 as I'm currently playing through it.

@@Sword4Hire Not saying its not a good game just not as good as Origins will ever be,

@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 Nothing can beat origins 🔥

@@Sword4Hire save perhaps Baldurs Gate 3, New Vegas, Morrowind, Oblivion, SKYRIM with all their DLC's, mods optional,

@@emixonalgaert4376 Do it. It's a whole new experience :)

@samflood5631 It shocked me. I thought Hawke was just gonna find & rescue her. Didn't expect them to do this to Hawke's mother.

@@Sword4Hire Fr, similar thing with a lot of the events in this game, on a first time blind playthrough. Game felt like a fever dream in a good way.

@@economicalgamer8187 💀

@wnekuu That's the way! Playing with the original dub is always much more immersive. I understand quite a bit of polish as I'm half polish, so it's a nice experience 😄

@@Sword4Hire I guess especially some... specific words, right? :D

Word I tried to play it again couldn't push myself it's a hassle even tho right before it I did a second playthrough of da2 and origin

It has better gameplay but the tone is absolutely a departure from Dragon Age’s dark fantasy roots.

Never said it wasn't. Love both games.

Not really, it didn't feel that personal compared to the things the Hawkes endured.

​@@craigarkensaw looks like you bad played or not played at all.

@@VITAS874 4 times, to be precise

Tak!

That shocked me when I played it earlier this year

They don't have the same VAs though?

Well I found it funny that while I was playing Origins for the first time not long ago, there were many Hawke male VA npcs around... it was weird ngl.

@AgX_28 thats what happens in games ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh god, THIS. I've tried talking to some of the newer Dragon Age fans and it seems to be full of Twitter idiots that screech about slavery the moment someone even considers the Templar/Circle position on things. As if we didn't see one poorly trained mage child nearly destroy a whole town without even knowing it was going on in the first game. Yes, the Templars can be nutjobs themselves at time. No, it isn't fair on the mages. But it also isn't fair on the random peasants that get torn to pieces by demons when some child gets possessed. There are very much two sides to this argument and both have valid points. By Inquisition the whole thing was watered down and became bland and rather one sided.

​@@PumpkinHoard. I totally agree with this.

@@PumpkinHoard I would like to remind everyone about the magic events of Redcliff that, while it happened because the boy made a pact with a demon, it happened because his father was sick. The father was sick because he was poisoned. He was poisoned by a mage that his wife (and the mother of the child) made him enter in the castle. The mother made him enter to the castle because she counted on the mage to teach the boy to hide his gift, so he could stay with her, in violation with the Chantry law, and the woman is a pious one and she was one of those who believed that mage = evil. In short, my point is all of this happened because a mother didn't want his son to be a mage and to be separated of him and that magic is not the issue, but how it is perceived.

@@PumpkinHoard I liked Inquisition but I thought reducing the mage-templar conflict to a first-act sideshow was one of its weak points. It really felt like Origins and especially DA2 had been building up to this epic war that would tear apart the continent, but it just kind of....goes away. Because you're right, both Origins and DA2 made a point of revisiting both sides of the issue again and again, and there really are no easy answers. The Circle is an imperfect and cruel system prone to abuse, but the alternative is to just leave innocent people to the mercy of a power they have no conception of and no defense against.

@@cedriclacomblez9827 I'm sorry, but you're making a VERY strong argument for the Templar case without meaning to. All you've said boils down to "It only happened because the boys father was sick and he made a pact with a demon." OK. So ANY mage child who has a sick relative or friend is extremely vulnerable to demonic manipulation and is thus dangerous. Given that this is a medieval society where healthcare is primitive and likely only available to the rich..... That a lot of dangerous kids. But in reality it's much worse than that. Any situation where a mage kid is emotionally compromised becomes massively dangerous to those around them. Kids feeling scared and isolated due to bullying? Open door for a demon. ANY external force that causes them to be afraid, anxious etc can have the same effect. The prospect of war, darkspawn, angry Qunari in the streets.... All of this leaves a child vulnerable. Seriously, how many kids in the MODERN DAY would go through childhood without some real concerns that would leave them vulnerable in such a way. Not many I'd think. But this is medieval world full of magic and demons, a world that in a couple of decades has faced the potential end of the world through darkspawn invasions, civil war, Quinari Insurrections, Mage rebellion..... It's a worrying time to be living in. And as we've established, ANYTHING that is having a serious negative effect on a childs mental state leaves them vulnerable to demons. You can't expect a CHILD to make good decisions. A mage child NEEDS to be properly instructed, otherwise they are a ticking time bomb. Now this CAN provably be done safely outside of the circle. Hawkes father did it with Bethany and Mage Hawke. Flemeth did it with Morrigan. But any kid that DOESN'T have a highly capable mage parent is a massive liability to everyone around them.

I could never side with the templar as it ended up with punishing people who were not responsible for the atrocities committed by the others.

@adamcheeseburger1369 people seem to forget how dangerous mages are. They don't deserve this fate, but when backed into a corner, they almost always CHOOSE to use blood magic. Hawke has been put into more dire situations than most mages ever have, and he still refuses to use it. They resort to blood magic because they are weak, rather than die with some semblance of dignity they choose to allow demons to control them. Is it unfortunate, yes, but compared to the destruction that unchecked mages can create, it is the lesser of two evils.

Pro templar mage hawke is like a pro Qun adaar inquisitor.

@ala1178 Not really, the inquisition is connected to a specific religion, and that puts it at odds with the Qun. Where my Hawke has never felt the need to learn or use blood magic, and he assumes most mages are that way, but over time, he finds that most mages will use blood magic if backed into a corner. After years of dealing with them, he comes to understand that the circles were made for a good reason. Despite his own apostasy he sees that his reluctance to use blood magic isn't the norm for mages and so he sides with the templars even if he doesn't really like them. Also, a mage just blew up the chantey with a bunch of civilians in it. Who do you think the common man is going to side with the Mages or the Templars?

@@flavortownfanatic7280 Excusing double standards doesn't make it any less a double standard bro. Your hawke is either tragically self loathing or an uncle tom levels of hypocrite. "a mage just blew up the chantey with a bunch of civilians in it." Doesn't excuse genocide nor collective punishment, like sebastian said the culprit is right in front of you Again a templar supporting mage hawke i like a Qun supporting adaar, like any oppressed supporting their oppressor.
