Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard - coming Fall 2024

[skaraher]

DA2 had better concept for an RPG story imo and game structure. Game got rushed in a year with shit gameplay. Waste of a good setting and a good plot idea.

The actual writing was really subpar and Qunari invasion + Mage vs Templar felt really disjointed.

Yeah execution is atrocious. But I like the concept (some rando building up a faction and climbing up the ladder within the city, influencing big events in the course of a wide period - no big save the world plot, no gods or cosmic threat), it was quite ambitious but didn't get the required dev time/resources. Not saying nu-bioware could have pulled it off but one does wonder.

 

[skaraher]

Age of Decadence and New Vegas really nailed a main plot centered around mundane faction politics and power struggle, but I find it is rather hard to successfully pull off. Not a lot of memorable RPGs with this kind of narrative.

 

[Lodis]

The most baffling thing about Inquisition is that there are real people that actually like this creature.

I don't have a primary source, but discussions on the Dragon Age wiki mention David Gaider himself admitting the ASOIAF inspiration. Of course it's not the only one. Dragon Age's elfs are inspired by the Witcher, its magic/Fade/demons by Warhammer 40k psykers/Warp (and yes, it's a ripoff, though Wh40k ripped off Dune and Moorcock, this particular take on daemon-possessing psykers etc is copied straight from it), references to LOTR are obvious, etc.

It always was a mash hup of whatever was popular among fantasy fans at the time. Only thing that was a bit original was Qunari (well the schtick of making a race of communist mage-hating folks wasn't totally new neither, but it wasn't as blatant as other references) and they did try to do something interesting with the setting in the Awakening DLC. Which is funny, cause they totally canned that storyline in latter games.

Even the gay wardens are basically witcher rip-offs btw. witcher 1 managed to have mature themes and content without having shitty art style and everything being 50 shades of brown long before faggot age was ever released.

Yeah, and it did it with shitty writing, bad voice acting, janky assed and mindlessly repetitive combat, and a bunch of fetish shit thrown in everywhere. DA:O was better than any Witcher game, though the sequels were worse.

I love the ideas that DA2 had, how they did is sadly poorly done.. But still being not the Hero to defeat the Big Bad Dragon, it's still refreshing to play as a Poor refugee (not for long but still)

The game itself has no redeeming qualities.

Nigger you are braindead every witcher games shits on your bioware slop wrting wise.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

I'd rather have a hero saves the country (the Warden was not a world mover, he's only relevant to ferelden) in a Grey, interesting setting than whatever DA2 is. Sure, in theory at the highest level it could be interesting, but not in a world that retcons everything into "the church is evil" and poor mages are persecuted. Sure, they show a bunch of fucked up mages but that's on a personal level. The retcons they made to tranquility and the like make it retarded.

Witcher 3 writing is shit

Witcher 3 writing is shit

Lol even then 10x times better than writing in faggot age.

Witcher 3 is feminist pandering as much as Inquisition is gay pandering.

 

[Orud]

Dragon Age writing is analogous to a braindead quadriplegic. Not really useful to compare something against it, since its usefulness stops at being a doorstop.

Polacks: " Witcher is so based; everything mature and virile come from the Witcher, Geralt is full of testosterones, you westerners take everything from us and only inject estrogens"

Reality:

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

They can make their shit fan art all they want, geralt was always and will always be, a mutant freak.

If he's made to look like an anime faggot it can never be him

Never tell Witcherfags about Geralt being a canonical cuck.

They just brush that part under the table and continue to defend Yennefer being a heartless whore because "muh destiny" while pretending that Geralt is some masculine gigachad when in reality he's a literal cuck.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Yeah but geralt gets the last laugh in W3, breaking her heart with no care then living it up with a hot redhead

Also who even thinks geralt was ever some gigachad except retarded witcher 3 stans

lmao @ westerners learning about twitcher and thinking potatoland is all crazy about it whereas 99%+ of Poles doesn't give a shit about it.

Which was always the case, because Sapkowski himself is a staunch feminist. He was always prochoice and pro women rights. Every book written by him (not only The Witcher series) is like that - games trimmed it a little (especially the first one), but they remained in the same line.

Still, their writing and wordlbuilding are ten times higher than anything Bioware could ever produce.

His relationship with Yennefer is pretty cucky but considering he gets more pussy than any of you bro's he also fucks a lot. Can't really call the guy a cuck tho.

Even if you ignore the gay political messages it throws at you the world is even more of a Warhammer clone than DAO was.

Yeah most fantasy writers are leftards, it's the same with A Song of Ice and Fire and feminism.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Ciri getting raped by a dyke and Geraldo getting cucked by hunchback, top tier writing by the drunk.

The games did a better job at portraying Geraldo and saved the sorry state that the last 2 books left the setting.

 

[Conan]

Seriously the books are plain bad. They have a couple of good moments which are clever but that's it. The much-touted "based on polish" myth is also a myth. The world is literally based on British mythology.
