Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard - coming Fall 2024

[MzperxKobuki]

The director's Twitter bio is the biggest red flag of all.

 

[Froila]

One day the Codex will be prepared to accept that Bioware has been decline since Baldur's Gate.

Back in a day it was a codexer's common opinion that BG1&2 were bad rpgs and bad games. Even not rpgs, but fancy d&d-based adventures.

Can a trailer be inbred? Because that's what it looks like - a narrow set of ideas cross bred so many times they have more teeth than brain cells.

There's a first for everything.

The Inge screenshot doesn't look bad, in fact it looks very nice as far as environment goes. The biggest issue will be the quip centric dialogue the entire game, if the leaks about the upcoming gameplay trailer, the dialogue will turn off a lot of people.

What happened to Dreadwolf? Did it transition?

dreadname

 

[negator2vc]

Anyone know the actual reason for changing the name?
Did the name gave nightmares to the devs or something?
I mean the stories behind the scenes are definitively more interesting than this crap.

Whether the old Bioware(2010 to 2017, up until ME:A) can make a good RPG is up to debate, but you can tell they are trying to make a RPG they think is good.

Now I feel like they are just forcing themself to make DA 4 a single player game because people expect them to, if they get to choose they will definately create a live service game instead.

 

[Fedora Master]

a single player game because people expect them to

And why wouldn't they? Attempting to turn the series into some sort of casual hero shooter slop is wrong-headed in the extreme.

That's my point. The devs are being extremely stupid and want to turn DA 4 into a live service game.

 

[Lacrymas]

Afaik, this is the third iteration of this game. They wanted to make it live service, but they backpedaled hard on that.

 

[Baron Tahn]

I wonder if they tried to jump on mmos with Inquisition and hired a bunch of MMO types, which resulted in that game - then they are left with a staff who might be inclined towards trying to make live service crap, which is basically what EA would most want to push...just seems like a perfect storm in hell.

I'm liking the general public response to the trailer.

And finally:

The Duality of Man.

I like how the user on the right has to emphasise it is a POSITIVE reaction to the trailer, since the majority of the response is so negative.

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm liking the response to the trailer.

nah. pigs deserved it for still expecting something after decades of eating shit.

i'm not sad, i'm happy. bioware finally delivered peak entertainment.

 

[La vie sexuelle]

The archer looks to be inspired by one of the leads in BG3.

Yeah, I guess if I stabbed myself in both eyes with a spork and then squint real hard, I can almost see it.

Are you blind? Or does everything with somewhat red hair look the same to you?

Skin color, hair color and hairstyle can be changed in BG3, so watch the shape of the head, nose and eyes.

 

[Reinhardt]

this shit is just perfect, btw

if i'd still worked on my kotc 2 module i would definitely add him as token.

 

[Lodis]

Well at least Morrigan is confirmed not to be in this garbage, can only imagine how current Bioware would treat her. Now I can just cope and pretend my experience with this franchise ended with Origins.

 

[Fedora Master]

You know it's bad when even the literally purple haired thots are "worried".

"Dragon Age Journeys" by "Monsters' Den" developer wasn't half bad too.

 

[ybfelix]

I wonder will EA finally take BioWare out the back door and put it down after this flops, or wait after new Mass Effect inevitably fails too?

 

[Naraya]

The best era of gaming is long gone and will never come back - every day just confirms that it's in a downward spiral for a long time. The quicker we deal with it, the quicker we reach serenity.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

So, what will be the new trendy combat system that Bioware would implement this time to maximize the appeal of casuals? Turn based or soulslike with infinite respawning?
