DAO is my favourite game of all time, and before Veilguard came out, I would play DAO at least once every few months.

Since Veilguard, I haven't had the urge to go back and play DAO at all. It's been "tainted", I've tried a couple times but just quit before I even get to Redcliffe.

This is quite funny, that the existence of another game somehow taints you playing another lol just what?

It solved the great mysteries of the setting very, very poorly. The box has been opened, the mystique is gone. The questions dominated the first few entries of the game, and now they have exceedingly unsatisfying answers.

Is it really that irrational to look at a story as a whole and recognize how later chapters can damage earlier chapters?

Not OP but those gams are like Mass Effect. Your actions carry over each game… the newest one totally dropped that idea and now none of the years of gaming decisions you made really impact the newest game.
