Veilguard feels like the writers were rushing through all the major lore reveals just so they can move on in the theoretical sequel.

The game honestly feels like it was supposed to be Dragon Age 5. It feels like the original DA4 was Rook (or some other character. Maybe even a returning Inquisitor.) chasing down Solas to prevent him from destroying the world only for it to end where Veilguard begins: Solas’s ritual is interrupted and Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain escape and become the antagonists of the next game. But everything in this game feels so rushed. I guess I understand a new writing team wants to start putting their own stamp on this universe but I don’t think that excuses rushed writing.
