There is a lot of different things you can and cannot do that change the aspect of the game especially the last mission. The fact that choices throughout the game, choices right before that mission, and finally choices you make about who leads each part of the mission make massive changes

There is a huge grind portion of this game for materials. However, the end result, building your base is the best part. The hosts and our friends had a pretty decent base. The issue with the base, taxes. Oh and power. If you don't log in for a couple of days, the power goes out, the shields go down

For turn based games, having that kind of control makes this more action really allows you to feel that you have more control over the game rather than relying on having the "meta" stats build for the character to survive. I mean it might take a long time, but technically you could win most fights
Video Game
You also have an abundance of different guns. I think in Borderlands 1, they touted over a billion different guns. I think at this point it has to be way more than that since there is a randomly generated attributes for each gun. This does mean that the guns that you enjoy do not scale with you

The Assassin's Creed games are my favorite games other than the Mass Effect series. I have enjoyed playing all the games for what they were including this one. What hurts it is the lack of attention to detail for the story. I am very tired of not being part of the Creed for the main character.
Video Game
The characters are really well written. The benefits of single player games that told stories rather than attempted to make money. I already talked about Ashley's racist ass. There is also Garrus who is a companion in the next game and might be my favorite character.
Video Game
Most of the characters are really well done. Blackwell's story is so good, and I really like his character. He, Solas, Cassandra, and Varric are outstanding characters. The story is my favorite of the series so far. Mainly there is a constant looming threat that sets up Veilguard so well.
Video Game
I hate this story though. Verric is being interrogated and is telling the story of the Champion of Kirkwall to someone from the Chantry. That's fine. However, there are 3 acts with 3 different bad guys and the first act and third act are barely tangentially tied together.

The fighting in this game is probably the most fun I've had in a Dragon Age game, but it very quickly becomes repetitive. Not so much that you stop enjoying it, but it can be during the middle of the game. The overall story is what kept me involved even frustrated with how mission worked.
Video Game
The fighting itself has some cool moments, like when you kill a target you sometimes get these little slo-mo events or special flourishes and that is when it is fun. Otherwise, it is like playing World of Warcraft back in the day when you just hit a button and wait for the skill cooldown to finish

I originally played this when it came out in 2019 and honestly I am surprised how far I got and didn't finish it. The fact that I made it to the second to last planet and then didn't finish is the testament as to how upset I was about this game. The gameplay is fun, but ...

If it were my first playthrough of the game, this DLC would have been great additional content. However, it being a year after the initial release, it just seems phoned in. Also, the fact that it doesn't extend beyond the planet is just a waste especially since they point out that it could.
