BG3 impact on the new dragon age

what would be different about dragon age veilguard if baldur's gate didn't get so popular?
i'm pretty certain they had to make a bunch of changes the moment BG3 got that GOTY.

DA4 has been in development for many years, by the time BG3 came out the game probably was quite close to or at the post production stage. Bioware probably couldn't make much changes even if they want to.

Had to go even further with the degeneracy to compete.

They didn't have time for any significant changes. Moreover, it's clear they hate RPGs, so gameplay-wise it most likely took nothing, BG3 was already Bioware-like in dialogs and cutscenes, and finally, in degeneration they didn't have to take anything because Bioware always was leading in such, so even player-sexuality was thought by them first, they just didn't finish the game yet.

If you're "pretty certain" that's true then maybe you should answer your own question by listing these supposed changes.

Thinking that modern Bioware can look at the competition and adapt, lmao.

Visually and gameplay-wise Veilguard doesn't seem to resemble BG3 in any shape or form. They are as different as two party based rpgs in fantasy setfing can be. So I don't really see those changes.

As for companion-relations and romances, they were first introduced by Bioware games, so its Larian that took the inspiration.

Again Bioware already had it, so its no inspiration.

With dicks and vags? Because if not, Witcher was first

Not much. DA4 seems to be more of a DA rehash of ME2 with the writing of MEA.

BG3 had bobs and vegane (and dicks), so yes.

 

[Takamori]

Honestly nothing? Bioware is a husk of a company with mentally ill retards as staff.
You can throw millions and millions of USD, nothing good will come out of it.
They will try to copycat BG3 in the wrong aspects of it.

I think at the very least BG3 inspired the heightened level of degeneracy in DA:V. Let's not forget that BG3 was in Early Access since a good while ago, when DA:I would've been still in active development.

 

[Tyranicon]

BioWare looking at a product that beats theirs in every way imaginable.

"Let's make ours 1000% more purple. That'll make us competitive."

It's only gonna impact it in terms of the wokeness let's get real. BG3's popularity hinges on things that have zero to do with the woke shit but the usual suspects are so obsessed in trying to prove that wokeness can sell that they misinterpreted WHY the game was so successful to begin with and they gonna found out how mistaken they were when this Dragon Age shit flops.

Absolutely fucking nothing. Every non-combat related complaint that Codexers have against BG3 applied to Bioware's previous titles as well.

Did you mean to say DA:V? BG3 entered Early Access in 2020, while Inquisition came out in 2014. In any case, only Act 1 was available at that time and most of the degenerate shit in BG3 is found in later parts of the game.

Yes I meant V. Slop blends together.

They would have tone down degeneracy a bit.

Only thing they saw in popularity of BG3 was "hey we can get away with even more degeneracy then before!".

i'm certain that BG3 had an impact, if not, then there wouldn't be all of that preventive cope in the media, i'm just wondering on the specifics

You're assuming that devs and journalists are on the same team.
Protip: Journalists live in a parallel reality that has nothing to do with actual gamers, videogames, or devs.

So basically, the publisher is doing damage control even before release. They know their game has no chance of standing up to BG3.

where do you think that marketing money goes to? it's like half the cost of development usually
