Text reads: "Spotlight - Cover Story - Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It's been ten years since the last full-fledged game in the franchise, but BioWare is finally ready to pull back the curtain on what's next for the fantasy world of Thedas. We visited the studio, spoke to the game's creators, and discovered what's changed in the highly anticipated new installment."

mass effect: andromeda was not a bad game and i will DIE on this hill.

it was doomed from the start because of the original ME trilogy. like, how the fuck can you follow up on that? three games where we become attached to these beloved characters. more time to build up and flesh out a story (reaper story kinda sucks though not gonna lie) and ryder just had no chance when they're put up against shepard. ryder was an inexperienced kid who was barred from the alliance due to the AI research alec was doing, and then was thrust into a role of leadership with zero training. of course they're going to struggle and flounder, and OF COURSE they're going to try to be as diplomatic as possible. who wants to start a war immediately upon arriving in a new galaxy and your people are dying? they're not a 'goody-goody two-shoes,' they're just a kid trying to salvage this disaster they were thrust into after the loss of their father.

SAM gets a lot of flack too, just because he isn't EDI. i find SAM to be really charming and adorable. he's almost childlike in his evolution as he grows with ryder and their experiences together. i loved their bond.

yes, the game launched badly with glitches. yes, the facial animations can be goofy as hell (i personally adore it, they make me laugh) and yes, some of the writing is questionable. but it really wasn't the shitshow people make it out to be.

also the combat is hands down some of the best in the franchise, and even in the genre in general.

Mass Effect: Andromeda, Scott and Jaal meeting his mother and family

Scott/Jaal is my final romantic playthrough, then Scott and Sara and I will have romanced everybody! Since I started with Sara/Jaal, it feels fitting to end with Jaal.

I love these scenes, with Jaal's true mother totally embarrassing him by singing his virtues, Jaal's siblings and cousins calling out as he brings Scott in (some of them just casual "Hey, Human" and some clearly ribbing Jaal "You bringing someone special to meet us?" "Gonna give your friend some real food?") then Jaal shyly showing Scott things in his room from when he was a child.

Jaal is such a gentle romance! I wish the Ryder twins could go through these scenes in their casual clothes since I inevitably have them in tanky armor with bulky shoulder/chest pieces that get in the way a bit. 😖😜

Still can't edit videos, so this is the raw footage but I tried to start and end the recording as cleanly as possible. I'm just glad to at least be able to capture again!

Anyway, since it's been so long since I've seen Jaal's romance scenes, I was all "D'awwww" and wanted to share. 🤗💖
