Dragon Age: The Veilguard took "so long" as BioWare "wanted to make sure we got this one right" - that, and "it takes a long time to record 700 characters" and 140,000 lines

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/dr...me-to-record-700-characters-and-140000-lines/

And, according to Barlow, five years isn't that long considering the amount of work the cast had to do: "It takes a long time to record 700 characters, you know - 80,000 lines or 140,000 lines with all the Rooks. It just takes time to make good." Personally, I can't wait to hear some of these lines when The Veilguard officially releases - especially the ones voiced by Baldur's Gate 3's sex noise specialist, of course.

"It's perfectly normal for a woman to have a massive jaw that puts men's jaws to shame" -- Bioware

Even the mouth is masculine. I bet if you ran those images through a facial recognition A.I it would tell you that the person is most likely male.

The eye/brow/nose bridge region is all kinds of fucked up. It doesn't look organic, but rather "randomized" in the Oblivion potato generator way.

Modders have managed to even improve Sera. Many of the changes, such as the removal of the shine and those creases around the mouth and nose, are so intuitive that I suspect these imperfections were added deliberately. As if there's any doubt since it's now commonplace in the industry to steer away from "female objectification". They have forgotten that they're supposed to design a product that's has general appeal, instead they inject ideology into it. Visually attractive characters are just one aspect of this appeal.

Sure, you could call Sera's treatment dollification, but this modder didn't go overboard either and make her look Korean. Instead, this is probably what Sera would look like if it hadn't been for those activists working under the guise of "designer". Someone should've told them that maybe they're just not artists, like how Claire Fisher gets told in Six Feet Under. This sort of hubris thrives in their back-patting bubbles.

Bioware can't design women for shit. Look at the Mass Effects.

Before they where at least trying. Now, for the "Queerosexual Gendermancer" in charge of this game, anything that the average straight cis male abhors is "progress" and everything that he likes is "heresy", for incels and coomers.

It looks so far removed from what the Dragon Age games used to be, though each new entry has unfortunately distanced itself from the world-building, tone and aesthetics of Origins. They also seem to be doing what many other fantasy settings are doing lately and removing any meaningful grit. Blood Magic not being an option to embrace is a bizarre decision. A large part of the fun in RPG's is having the option to play around with darker powers and decisions...

For some reason they also never get the breasts right. They are always saggy or super firm even on 80 year olds, like in Dragon Age Origins.

I see some serious kinkshaming ITT. Coming from plebs.
A nice germanic manjaw is a gentelman's fetish.

Go wank yourself to death to typical germanic habsburg manjaws, you freak.
Pfah!
A boorish plebeian confuses a tasteful manjaw with a nasty underbite.
Our prestigious fetish has no connection to Habsburgs. Or their recent attempt at the assassination of Donald Trump.

The biggest tragedy of Cassandra is that the character model was fairly attractive (conventionally attractive even) in DA2, but they deliberately changed the design and uglied her up.

DAO was based. You had the option to seduce some Elf sloozy who was the girlfriend of some beta elf who did not yet even touch her, after you cum dumb her you can go back to him and say "I was just sampling the goods, no harm done" he then goes to kill himself in the forest. Damn there will never be an option like this again in any crpg.

They couldn't even lock down a decent look for the female version of the main character. The box art for a lady Shepard isn't bad at all,

But how does that look translate in-game?

The ingame version is better. Box art version is a 12 year old boy with makeup and a wig.

She had blonde hair in this trailer?

The bottom left is a E-thot's self-insert and she's famous for licking PSP.

I thought that was a stand-in for Snooki from Jersey Shore and it was a giant joke.
