Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable

His motive isn't inscrutable. It's not desirable, but it's perfectly easy to understand. He's a nostalgiafag.

And sometimes questionable? I reckon unmaking the world as is, and effectively killing off most of the population isn't "sometimes questionable", it's absolutely evil.

you have to understand,
most of the people left who are still interested in this game are obese legbeards that regularly get off to solas

Next mass shooting needs to happen @Bioware

Or sex starved obese divorcees (who were housewives during DAI and DA2).

I hope Putin starts launching the nukes soon.

 

[somerandomdude]

Is the new one going to be Drag-On Age?

 

[Naraya]

Now that I've seen this thread (worse, I posted here) - all of a sudden I feel dirty.

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of drooling 'tards! I never visit Resetera, but just scrolling past the first page revealed quite a lot. Do these excuses for human beings have any functioning brain-cells or are they a hive-mind of the OBEY CONSUME "aliens"?

Here's a bunch of choice quotes from this shining beacon of wisdom:

Nice! Love the new logo.

Where wolf?

They're continuing to refer to Solas as the "Dread Wolf" yet the title of the game is "Dreadwolf." I hope there's some kind of significance to that because the inconsistency bothers me.

ooh purple.

I mean what the actual...

 

[Sarkile]

Y'all

Every fucking time.

 

[Narax]

Should have went for red lyrium aesthetics instead of tumblr-purple, it fits the overall "bleak" theme they're trying to go for. Regardless, the game will be shit either way.

The way Cuckdex discusses games isn't much better.

Gone for, not went for.

Shot in the dark here but I think purple might be because it's set in the byzantine empire.

They don't want to be bleak. The current team already talked about how they dislike Origins' dark fantasy elements.

 

[Socur Toxanarosa]

Inquisition is the best game of the franchise by far and one of the best RPGs of all time, but i'm not sure what to expect from this one.

You romanced Dorian didn't you?

He's right though... it's twisted to call the game Dreadwolf but have the thing in the game called the Dread Wolf. Are they even thinking of dyslexics and people with learning disabilities who might get confused? It's absolutely IMPERATIVE (and so important!) that we drop a BLU-113 Super Penetrator on Bioware HQ before more people are harmed.

I'm glad though I haven't played any Dragon Age since the first one. Corporate WRPG seems like the worst type of game.

Other than a handful of devs that get you codex cool kid club points for hating, most codexers will happily slurp up this type of garbage.
Basically, if this was another company other than bioware releasing the same exact game, the thread would be booming.

We aren't getting any good romance options, are we?

ON DRAGON AGE

The Dragon Age franchise has a very special place in Corinne’s heart. In part, she says, that’s because the games are all about possibility. “In Dragon Age, you can be who you want to be, explore the possibilities and consequences of your choices, and build relationships that leave a lasting impression,” she says. “Few games give players that kind of autonomy while also weaving such a rich narrative—I think it really speaks to why our players feel so invested in this world.”

And the idea of being who you want to be carries a particularly special meaning for Corinne. “As a queer trans woman,” she says, “I have a perspective on the games that not everyone has. Dragon Age has long been a place where LGBTQIA+ folks can see people like themselves, represented respectfully. It’s inherently very queer, and it’s such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted. It’s so deeply meaningful for so many. I often get emotional when I think about what it would have meant for a younger version of myself to see someone like her in a game, and as a hero, no less. I hope we can be a safe place for our queer players to know they are not alone, that they are brilliant and worthy, that they are not only welcome but celebrated.”

They disliked the only redeeming quality of the original (which otherwise is quite the mediocre game in a vanilla fantasy setting).

I want to be a straight man with a hot girlfriend. Guess that's too weird for them to accommodate.

Summarized: "As a man who cut his dick off, Dragon Age has long been a place where straight players can pretend to be queer and/or have a cishet relationship with some fuggo and this makes me happy."

DA:O dwarves have some of the best realized dwarf lore in fantasy vidya gaming in my opinion. It's fairly laughable how interesting Orzammar and dwarven culture is compared to the elves, just as rusty_shackleford said in an earlier post.

I'd genuinely enjoy the lore of DA-game build entirely around their dwarf-take, I think

Agreed. And also it should be noted that the Dwarf noble origin was more fleshed out originally, but they ended up cutting content as to keep the various origins balanced (which is a travesty imho).
