One thing to keep in mind is that dual booting can work to highlight what you’re missing because generally all of the games that run on Linux will run on Windows, but the reverse is not true. It becomes easy to just default to windows so you don’t have to reboot to play something that doesn’t work in Linux and that can undermine the attempt to switch the OS.
To me Veilguard felt like they wanted to make a fantasy Destiny game then changed course halfway through. The free roam zones felt like destiny areas, complete with areas where you knew something would spawn but it would be random which types of enemies it would be. Then you’d find a quest swirl or character and press x and it would dump you into a story mission.
But the movement wasn’t as fun as destiny. And I’m guessing trying to cram a fantasy rpg into areas similar to a shooter causes problems with ranged combat, which would also explain the very cramped areas you’re always doing combat in.
Every story mission was also basically a hallway with a bunch of short, dead-end detours containing 1-4 things to pick up that vary between materials, lore, or equipment. It felt like a paint by numbers rpg.
Rook was essentially Master Chief and nothing your team did mattered much except thematically. I watched them beat on weak mobs for a long time without actually killing anything.
I couldn’t always logically connect outcomes to what the game was showing me, either. Like, I lost two team members because I assigned them to do specific jobs (and the game had a pop up pointing out that this was why they died), but the loss seemed completely disconnected from the actual job. It would be like assigning Gale to break a magical ward (because the tooltips and/or dialogue suggests he can do it, and historically he’s a good it), and he does an outstanding job of it, but then some random magic mirror pops up out of nowhere and teleports in a devil to kill him and the game says, “Gale died because you assigned him to break the magical ward.” Like, what does a magic mirror popping up from nowhere have to do with me assigning him to break a ward?
Or choosing to have Halsin to lead a team to create a diversion on the other side of the island so your main team can get Astarion to assassinate Ketheric, but then when you’re face to face with Ketheric, Halsin is there for some reason and Astarion charges up from behind you (head on) and fails his stealth check due to being in front of the enemy, so Halsin starts slapping Ketheric until Ketheric turns around and kills Halsin and gives Astarion an opportunity to sneak attack from the rear.
It also had frustrating bugs sometimes. Like moving my camera to the side when I’m trying to attack something. Or deciding to fire an attack at a nearby enemy that I’m not trying to attack. Or wasting my ultimate because it vanished into the ceiling.
I think US customs said it was because he admitted to using drugs in the past and had photos of a paraphernalia on his phone. He said they ignored that stuff and focused on the photo. So it comes down to whether you think one specific customs employee could potentially see something they don’t like and choose to refuse entry for another reason or that customs is being honest and open about the reason his entry was refused and that the people making the announcement fully understand the situation (including the thoughts of the person that examined the photos).
I feel like the latter is unlikely, but I don’t have enough evidence to say either way. I don’t think drug paraphernalia in a photo or admitting past drug use are good reasons to refuse entry either.
