Developers of Dragon Age: The Veilguard anticipate mixed fan reactions

The developers of "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" expected mixed reactions from fans. Game director Corinne Busche noted that divided opinions have been common with each series entry, including the original "Dragon Age: Origins." The game received a positive critical score of 82 on Metacritic, but user reviews were significantly lower at 3.8. Creative director John Epler acknowledged that high expectations from fans, built over a decade since the last game, contributed to the polarized responses. Epler emphasized that the game aims to be true to itself rather than trying to please everyone. This approach may lead to more extreme reactions compared to a game designed to appeal to a broader audience.
