I found this video. And now I'm thinking.

1. Either the reviewer is dumb as a brick and don't know story of previous games. (And don't have clue about what is real RPG.)
2. Or game is dumb as a brick.
3. Or both.

Well, we would see how combat would look like, but they are still using that retarded attribute system they used in PoE.

Mortismal was shilling for Veilguard and calling it his GOTY when the game came out.

geez.. as bad as DA:V, I thought it would be bad but not that bad.

Reviewer is a bible basher so have to take his opinions with a grain of salt. Seems really bad though if he's to be believed.

He says nothing of substance other than superficial character analysis on some male and female characters on the basis of whether they are sufficiently cool or uncool. Like the idea that in avowed how colonists are evil men from evil colonist faction but the character he gives as an example of supposed cool female character that is meant to show favoritism towards women is a cool character despite being from the evil colonist white people faction. Similarly the fishtits companion is meant to be a counter-part to white people but he is from the aggressive colonial empire himself and is a mercenary who got disillusioned with war. Meanwhile game actually having reactivity to your race or cultural background being sold as a bad thing. One has to fail a lot of comprehension and critical thinking to fall for this video or otherwise be completely zealously devoted to cause of seeing man hatred everywhere and that's only for the stuff in this video he actually talked about.

I love your optimism. Nah, what I heard sounded pretty fucking awful even taking into account the bias. Both male companions being closet gays? All the female characters being massive girlboss types? Come on man.

Colonialism being presented as one of the worst things ever is a terribly boring and predictable trope that guts any meaningful world-building. Practically every society, fictional or otherwise, at one point expanded its influence through conquest. It's not a big deal, though it has become a convenient tool for the dysgenic dregs of society to use it as an 'allegory' to bash European and American history.

The abundance of 'strong women in traditionally male roles' is also terribly trite, especially with the male characters reduced to the 'gay best friend' or 'incompetent buffoon' tropes.

Though none of this should be at all surprising due to a combination of the company's recent games combined with the nutty statements put out there by the unhinged art developer.

Hi.

well
Well
WELL

gosh. Here you are. Right up RPGCodex back alley. This has HEAVY SPOILERS.




Let's get it all out.

Thanks,

What strikes me the most about this, much more than the utterly predictable woke man-hating and turning women into breastless pseudo-trannies is THAT art style. You know the one... oversaturated colors, cartoonish, pastels as the main palette, and something that would be aimed squarely at kids or tweens.

This is a VERY noticeable trend. You saw it in Outer Worlds, you saw it big time in Failguard, and you see it in nearly all woke goyslop that was shat out in the past few years. (Dustborn, Flintlock, etc.) This tracks side by side with the absolute infantilization of gay-mers. Woke Gen Z faggots mainlining soy simply cannot fathom gritty realistic looking graphics. Look at the games in the 2010s with a very realistic aesthetic, often very bloody. That is why something like Space Marine 2 stands out and towers above the competition because it looks SO different, whereas in times passed during the Gears of War era, the Dark Souls 1 era, it would have been unremarkable.

TL;DR- They are mental midgets and emotional retards so the gaymes must cater to this entirely. 20 year olds going on 10 basically mentally, physically, and emotionally. So everything needs to look like a child focused Nintendo Switch game.
