You have the right to be disappointed in Veilguard
You have the right to be disappointed because you have been waiting 10 years for this game and just wanted it to be faithful to what came before.
You have the right to be disappointed because the writing is an absolute downgrade from the past three entries.
You have the right to be disappointed because the devs refuse to take any kind of criticism on board.
You have the right to be disappointed because the new writers actively chose to undo the hard work their predecessors accomplished in making this series one of the most beloved of its kind.
You have the right to be disappointed because when you were ready to forgive the game's shortcomings due to its development hell, the devs just had to make those interviews and AMAs that shed some clear and unfortunate light on the truth.
You have the right to be disappointed because so much of what made Thedas what it was was brushed aside, ignored, or entirely retconned in favour of being as cozy and non-controversial as possible.
You have the right to be disappointed because criticising art does not automatically make you a hater or a grifter. It makes you someone who isn't blind to flaws. It makes you someone who can form their own opinion.
So yes, you do have the right to be disappointed in Veilguard. Because Veilguard, to me, is, unfortunately, a disappointment. No subject of hatred, no sin against mankind. Just a colossal disappointment. One that could have been averted.
