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

Awakenings turned the Big Mom into a goth spider chick, though

I believe "The Mother" was a female human before turning, while the ones you previously see were female dwarfs, thus the bodyshapes.

 

[Space Satan]

Given how all dragon age setting is HEAVYLY based on R. Jordan's The Wheel of Time there were darkspawn chaff, who multiplied naturally and they had sadistic darkspawn officers\commanders - Myrdraals, who had a special love for raping women and that every women got mad from that experience due to taint and Myrdraals being "out of phase" with reality.

conveniently, she's the only human mother you meet in the games... there's the thing about darkspawn having different body sizes due to their "origin", but i dunno, it's still kinda cheap to make her the "hot" looking one.

The DA setting was based on Tolkien(obviously) and GRRM's ASOIAF with some Warhammer40k sprinkled in. The darkspawn are orcs, DA:O world was brutal and had politics, scheming and backstabbing in abundance like the GoT. The Fade is the Warp with demons possessing mages(psykers), magic is extremely dangerous and highly controlled, the Grey Wardens look a bit like the Grey Knights. The current DA setting is god knows what.

You basically:

 

[mediocrepoet]

How did we go from this over the top edgy concept art

A broodmother is a giant, tentacled, and sessile ghoul capable of spawning vast numbers of darkspawn in a manner reminiscent of an insect queen.

“First day, they come and catch everyone. Second day, they beat us and eat some for meat. Third day, the men are all gnawed on again. Fourth day, we wait and fear for our fate. Fifth day, they return and it's another girl's turn. Sixth day, her screams we hear in our dreams. Seventh day, she grew as in her mouth they spew. Eighth day, we hated as she is violated. Ninth day, she grins and devours her kin. Now she does feast, as she's become the beast. Now you lay and wait, for their screams will haunt you in your dreams. ” ―Hespith's poem, describing how broodmothers are created

Did they ever say how long Hepler had to sit in makeup for this?

Awakening was last time when we saw interesting and palatable companions in the DA franchise except Justice.

WoT: Darkspawn made with the Taint; any magic is feared because mages will turn mad; one of the main antagonists that will be recruited later is called Loghain; mages feared "Stilling" more than death - exactly the same as Tranquility in effect; all magic users are sent to a tower to be taought, separated from their families; Harrowing ritual that is required for all mages; massive overseas empire that invadint the mainland and that leashes magic-users to be pet-like living weapons.

and then it all degrades into wank material for weirdos. uncanny.

Deep Roads were part of the Dwarven Empire, they connected Dwarven settlements and got shut down once Dark Spawn infested the damn thing.

Only very few are granted access to it, most of them being dwarfs, mainly Legion of the Dead members, so it sort of makes sense that you don't stumble on more of those.

yeah but at this point lore doesn't matter anymore

 

[Skinwalker]

You're kind of pushing it here, the WoT Logain was not much of an antagonist to any of the main characters, and gets castrated prior to the start of the series iirc.

 

[Myobi]

Yeah, because they dumped the dark in dark fantasy out of the window trying to appeal to the masses by turning the damn thing into a "diverse" family friendly Disney styled fantasy action game...

But that is irrelevant to the point, human monstrosity's are hotter because humans in general are slimmer and better looking than the chubby ass dwarfs that are far more common around the deep roads.

 

[Kleptocratic debt serf]

I see enough fugly chicks at work, I don't need them in my games, thanks.

Hey, fugly chicks need the d too... take one for the team!

Back to the video, what the fuck is that (not watching it)? Did Biowhore produce some kind of animation/cartoon or is it fan made shit?

 

[Skinwalker]

Is there any gameplay footage of this?

 

[Aarwolf]

How did we go from this over the top edgy concept art:

to this:

Soy? StarBucks? Trans?

Vox Machina happened

 

[processdaemon]

Is there any gameplay footage of this?

Supposedly this is a leak from earlier this year, but even if it was who knows what panicked last minute changes they're trying to make since the success of BG3.

Looks pro-trans and set for failure as fuck.

 

[Space Satan]

That early leak showed everyone how decision making is done in BioWare today.
EA CEO 1: Hey, ratings show that some game called Dark Soulful is popular among teens these days.
EA CEO 2: Yeah, I saw that too in paper game journal, they say rolling and hard bosses are cool and progressive nowdays.
EA CEO 1: Indeed, hey, BioWare, make Dreadwolf like that.
BioWare: W...What? But we already had a roadmap and...
EA CEO 2: Oh, and make it multiplayer-centered!
EA CEO 1: ...like, Fortnitesque looter-shooter!
BioWare: But we can't make it in time...
EA CEO 2: Yeah, make protagonist's party full of diverse lgbt minorities and strong lesbian women

I liked the banter between Velanna and Anders. Some spicy stuff.
Pretty cool companions, all things considered.

 

[La vie sexuelle]

I like that we don't have any news, even though the date has been set for 2024, which starts next month.

Even indie games are announced more than twelve months in advance.

Dragon Age Inquisition alpha build footage looked decent, but the full release had quite a few missing features.

It had to be made all over again because of the change from the mmo style to a single player rpg. The same is going to happen to DAD, going from God of War-style action game to a BG3-lite rpg.
