Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

[Excidium]

Yeah the armor looked like trash except for the high level plate sets you can get. Then Dragon Age 2 came and the art went from boring to full retard

 

[markec]

I remember seeing this guy at start of DA:O and immediately facepalming. When you look how cool real medieval armors look you wonder why devs dont copy their design, seeing that copying is easier then inventing original shitty looking armors.

"It seems unproductive to you. I love all RPGs, but Dragon Age are by far my favorite because of the level of depth in relationships you can have with your companions. I loved Mass Effect, but Dragon Age was even better and I replayed it more because of that. Part of those relationships include romancing them. The sex is really not that great, it's a quick scene where you see nothing and the fanart is always much better if you're looking for straight up porn fantasies. The romances are what make it so unique, because each character falls in love differently and that is interesting and fun to explore.

Gender and sexual orientation representation is a big deal because it's so lacking in other games. It means a lot to me to get to know so many strong, diverse women in one game. Being able to play as my own gender and romance my own gender is a rare experience in games, too.

Some people need to go out and have more "real" relationship....

I'm not saying no to companions with interesting background, story, banters etc, but now Bioware's primary focus is just that and going wayyyy overboard. DA2 companions were nothing short of bunch of psychos that need to be locked up in a mental institution.

I guess since DA:I is a confirmed sodomite silmulator, discussing the finer details of in-game armor/fashion goes without saying... Has the codex always been a schizophrenic caricature of itself?

That's how you get HIV.

'sup Liberal.

'sup Liberal.

Nah(not even remotely close), just pointing out it is both stupid and gay to even bother disussing the shit that will undoutedbly be DA:I. Why waste the energy on what will be an abortion of both gameplay and RPG mechanics, when you can discuss graphical fidelity/aesthetics and immersion?

 

[xcessive303]

Nobody will buy this on PC because D:OS has exposed Bioware for storyfags they are.

 

[Zeriel]

lul, as if

Millions will buy it, and it'll make bundles of cash.

 

[Night Goat]

I'm not sure about that. Dragon Age II was widely reviled, as have the games Bioware has made since. EA's reputation has been plummeting for years. The developers seem to be focusing entirely on romance and SJW faggotry, which will put off most of their potential audience. This may be a hilarious failure.

 

[Zeriel]

Romance, SJW faggotry, action/MMO combat and shiny Frostbite 3 engine, "open world" marketing. This thing could be a total disaster zone and still sell bajillions.

 

[yes plz]

I doubt this will be anything less than a modest success. 98% of people don't give a shit one way or the other about SJW and romance bollocks; in fact, I doubt they're following BioWare's current retarded PR bullshit right now to even beware about that stuff. They'll see it described as "Like Skyrim, but with better writing!" during early reviews and previews and buy it.

DA2 wasn't that big of a failure from what I understand and it's poor word of mouth came mostly from it being incredibly rushed and having half the content of Origins, and Inquisition's 3+ year development cycle will likely stymie any similar fears for it.

 

[Zeriel]

Don't forget that consolefags are really into their "next gen" stuff. This is one of the first RPGs that is using a genuinely decent engine. It's going to do booming business.

 

[Excidium]

But it looks like fucking ass

 

[Elfberserker]

But it looks like fucking ass

Of course it does.
People do love asses after all, I am sure that there is Freudian explanation between retards and graphics that looks like asses.

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

actually it doesnt. and until Twichers 3 release it will be best looking crpg on current and last gen. There is no skyrim like game on current gen for all those retards that bought fucking Xbone

 

[Excidium]

lmao why do you lie? The graphics are shit, even on the teaser that was meant to woo everyone

Console players just have no standards

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

i dont. the art style might be silly and overall the world might look uninspired but the graphics arent shit

 

[markec]

It looks worse then Witcher 2 which was released 3 years ago.

 

[WalkinDude]

This won't be a success, half of the xbone populous most likely has felonies for assaulting and/or killing homosexuals - and the other half can afford decent lawyers - so there's no way that they'll support something like this.

 

[Excidium]

It'll probably sell enough to be profitable if only because there are too few next gen games right now

This is something that a lot of people tend to forget, imo. The SJW crowd is actually a pretty small, though vocal, minority. 99% of the people who are going to buy this game don't give a shit about social justice issues and the political sensibilities of video gaming. They want to hit things with a sword and blow things up, and they want "better writing." Since most of them are likely to be idiots anyways, the "better writing" is not a particularly tough bar to hurdle, so anything Bio delivers is likely to be glorified by the game press. Because most game journalists are colossal idiots who wouldn't know good writing if it took a shit on their lap.

 

[Decado]

Lol that video is so fucking bad.

Okay, so when you chain someone up from the ceiling to torture them, make sure you let them keep their greaves and boots on. And apparently you can choke someone in armor, even though the rim of the helmet goes down below the throat and is quite clearly protecting the carotid artery from any kind of pressure. Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with these people?

I am so disappointed also. I kept wishing that we could get eyeful of that underwear Leiliana, but ffs don't make a such wuss about it.


Well the combat indeed looks slower than DA:2, but most of all there were no waves of enemies jumping from roof.
I am positively surprised that they actually showed gameplay and stuck to explaining game, instead showing how progressive they are with relationships. Glad to see that characters aren't speaking one-liners or innuendos whole time, perhaps they won't be as extravagant as I feared.

The pause thing doesn't look too bad and you can actually see the path which your companions will take.
I still need watch again to decide how much button smashing it actually contained.
