Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

[Cool name]

There's porn for women. Copy that. Dragon Age: Origins did.

Dragon Age Origins is way too faggy to ever satisfy that crowd. One of the thingies that will never stop to entertain me about so-called 'pr0n for girlz' is that few of those who do talk about it do have the slightest idea of how deeply disturbed, if not downright sociopathic, that bleep can be. The 'for doodz' variety does tend to be downright naive and innocent in comparison to some of the bleep on the other side.

You're black, you belong in a field picking cotton.

Way to sabotage your own point there.

3rd-wave femisnism is ok. 2nd-wave - absolutely retarted.

What I've turned this thread into:

So much fun.

 

[Necroscope]

So much fun.

Looks like someone 'shopped those words on the shirt. That must have been one deeply upset manbaby.

Emotional anger clouding reasonable analysis is certainly not inconsequential to evaluating one's logic.

It is when the person experiencing emotional anger is not the one performing reasonable analysis.

I think this says a lot about the mentality people in North America have towards sex. In some parts of the world, people don't take sex completely seriously and can look at sexual content without being aroused. Meanwhile it seems like Americans have this weird thing where everything sexual becomes some kind of messed up voyeuristic peep show designed to get you off, but don't tell anyone because then they'll think you're weird and unwholesome! Lighten up.

Americans are obsessed with sex but also have this stupid cultural need to think it's dirty, naughty and forbidden to enjoy for women. Most of our sitcoms emphasize how much wives hate sex, there's an intense need for female media personalities to maintain an image of chastity... yet at the same time there is also pressure to always look sexy and act like you're ready to go.

It's downright schizophrenic honestly, and really weird. Drives me nuts.

PORN!

I suppose you can defend the Witcher 2 scenes on the basis of fitting in with the mood and atmosphere of the game/setting and because it sometimes depicts characterization.

You can also defend them on basis of being compatible with the tone and atmosphere of the source material.

Fuck, I SO want an RPG with 80's swords and sorcery aesthetics now.

Skyrim?

Jesus fucking christ, and here I thought creationists abused the term "theory".

You're a man, you can't be a feminist.

I'm being oppressed here, it seems.

There's porn for women. Copy that. Dragon Age: Origins did.

Roguey, why are you so bent on trying to convince us that that women are nearly a separate species of retarded, weak, weak willed subhuman beings?

This shit won't fly. Apart from small bunch of troglodytes who are already deeply convinced of that, no one will buy it.


DarkUnderlord
I hereby nominate Roguey for "evil patriarchy agent" tag or something along those lines, the same way nomask got branded as "zionist agent" for peddling his nazi shit.

Unfortunately it came from my 4chan folder. I was about to post a regular reply, but seeing how pitiful your attempt to save face is - probably due to the lack of further eloquence (read: wikipedia links and Josh Sawyer's quotes) - I decited to just post the pic in order to express my disgust.

 

[DraQ]

All right if one absolutely must have one, it must a) be absolutely relevant and b) not repel women.

b) What does "not repel women" mean? Are you asserting that women are a hivemind?

It's like not insulting Religion of Peace.

You're a man, you can't be a feminist.

You're a woman, you belong in the kitchen.

You're black, you belong in a field picking cotton.

You're old, you belong in a grave.

What a progressive attitude from such an enlightened individual as yourself.

So is your argument basically "games shouldn't have sex scenes because those resources could be better spent elsewhere"? Please, explain why that is the case. Why is sex not important but X or Y story elements or events are instead? Does this come down to the fact that you think sex in media is inherently voyeuristic or pornographic, or is it because nobody has simply been able to implement it very well yet?

In particular why are random acts of violence more relevant than sex?

 

[sea]

In this thread, a butthurt moron with idiotic arguments that make no sense gets called out for being full of shit, pretends to be trolling all along.

 

[SuicideBunny]

i'm tempted to split all this into gd or retardo, where it rightfully belongs...

 

[Roguey]

But I love the ambiguity.

So how about that Dragon Age III, eh? Surely something's happening with that.

Comics

• Most of the comics feature huge foreshadowing
• Expect content to be at least touched on in DA3 and future titles

Insights into DA3

• Good mages will be present in DA3
• At least ONE mage isn’t crazy (supposedly not talking about protagonist)

Frostbite Engine

• Integrating conversations and armor customizations were hefty problems
• System has been modified to allow designers to use freely
• BW loves fans who engage in modding, but…
• Modding in Frostbite will be difficult. If a toolset can be done, they’ll approach it (though rumors of toolset for Frostbite engine already floating)

Notable Facts

• Mike Laidlaw, Creative Director (DA3): Merrill fixing the mirror was a ‘bad call’
• Fan asked about Sebastian; devs extremely tight-lipped on his involvement
• How do you like winged quadripeds with swords? Cause Frostbite doesn’t like them.

Foreshadowing in the comics hopefully means the trans mage is in.

Previous Bioware games subject to overwriting - “I am angry!” transitions

Understatement.

I love this kind of music in trailers.

*snirk*

Now we just wait for some CDPR fanoboys to throw the first stone. The butthurt will flow.

first trailer.

Completely failed to evoke any kind of reaction from my part beyond indifference.

 

[Malpercio]

I'm hyped as FUCK!

Well, not for the game, i really don't care much for it and they showed nothing, bit if DA2 and ME3 are of any indication, the fandom/people reactions to it will plenty of fun.

 

[bonescraper]

The moment i saw the gay dwarf i lost all interest. This thread belongs to retardoland.

 

[bloodlover]

In b4 OMFG DIS GAME SUX EVEN THOUGH IT HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET and the crowd of bitches throwing dirt around.

 

[Borelli]

"Will you fight the darkness or lead it"
Black vs white moral choices confirmed.

In b4 OMFG DIS GAME SUX EVEN THOUGH IT HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET and the crowd of bitches throwing dirt around.

It's a bioware game, I'd be surprised if it didn't suck.

 

[Kukulkan]

If you have a studio with a prior history of releasing numerous shit games and all information about this game demonstrates it will share many of the features that made those games shitty but with even more dumbed down mechanics I think it's fair to say the game will be shit.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Meh, old Morrigan was better looking. Game delayed to fall 2014 from 2013 btw

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Will be fun seeing Bioware make an open-world game.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Will be fun seeing Bioware make an open-world game.

In b4 Roguey posting links to prove it won't be open-world.

Extremely generic. Looks like its continuing the story line of DAO2. Good graphics.
