The new “Dragon Age": Veilguard game trailer feels like a marvel superhero movie instead of an epic. Doesn’t feel like it’s targeting adult RPG anthusiasts, seems to be made for children or teens. In comparison, look at the badass vibes and feel you get when watching the original "Dragon Age: Origins" trailer from 15 years ago, linked below. From the character, to the music, to the unapologetically brutal depiction of blood and violence. In comparison, Veilguard looks like its made for children. Children generally play free and casual games like Fortnite and Minecraft. Adult men are the ones generally spending money on premium titles. And as an adult male gamer myself, your game from 15 years ago was much more appealing. In a sense, the franchise seems to be regressing rather than maturing.

I have never played a dragon age game but I have to agree with you on the messaging. I don't know about children, but I would definitely say that is 100% teenager... screams early 00's advertising

3moThis is what they’ve done with marvel comics too - these days adults and children alike watch superhero movies which I find strange. My suggestion - make children’s games specifically for children - and games for adults separately. They’re trying to target everyone at the same time. I dunno if that’s good for the progression of the medium. Big games need more maturity these days , not less .
