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

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Oops, people ain't liking it. Yeah, it's going to be a fuckup again, huh

 

[whydoibother]

My flaccidity increases.

 

[Lacrymas]

Tbh, most people play Bioware games for the relationships and especially romances, so good on them for knowing their audience.

 

[Abu Antar]

Change the thread title.

 

[The Jester]

This is going to be SO FUCKING SHIT! I can't wait!

Tbh, most people play Bioware games for the relationships and especially romances, so good on them for knowing their audience.

I already saw people questioning if all 7 of the new companions going to be romanceable and if they going to "downgrade" from 8 to 4 romances lol

On the reddit people legit are arguing in favor of only having 8 skill slot.

Bioware audience is very clear.

First official 15 minute gameplay premiere on June 11
7 unique companions with "deep and compelling storylines"
New title better reflects the story's group of companions; Solas (ie. Dreadwolf) still plays a big role
Players will take on the role of an original protagonist, similar to The Warden, Hawke, and The Inquisitor
You and your companions make up the Veilguard, protecting the Veil and taking down a "new evil threat unleashed upon Thedas"
Player agency is very important, created a story where you can impact the world and companions around you
Each companion intended to represent different factions in the game; have their own arcs with "stories of love and loss, each with meaningful choices and emotional moments"
Players will visit more regions of Thedas "across a deeper variety of biomes than any Dragon Age before it"
Tease another villain beyond Solas: "I don’t want to get too deep into spoiler territory but I can say that the Dread Wolf is not the only god players need to be worried about"
Combat was a "big focus" for the team, will feature an ability wheel that you can use to pause, designed to give players more direct control over their characters
Players can bring two companions along (similar to Mass Effect)

They changed the name cause they were afraid of the DAD jokes being spread.

With modern Bioware that sounds as likely as any other reason.

 

[whydoibother]

3 player party is a big oooof for me. Tank-Healer-DPS? Would fit the pause option, if its more "strategic" than acton combat.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

"Unique" but not "new" companions. It should be ideal to have the same from before, but you could make Cassandra the new pope, so that's one off the list.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Party went from 4 to 3. massive downgrade

inb4 that GoW style leak ends up being the end product

The guy who leaked https://files.catbox.moe/ts2kmc.mp4 on 4chan also said it would be a 3 man party (player + 2 companions).

 

[Lacrymas]

Both 2 and Inquisition's systems weren't complex enough to support 4 party members anyway, might as well cut out the middleman.

 

[Fedora Master]

Oh this is gonna be real autopilot console shit button awesome stuff

 

[Tyrr]

Oh this is gonna be real autopilot console shit button awesome stuff

will feature an ability wheel

yes

 

[Lacrymas]

Oh this is gonna be real autopilot console shit button awesome stuff

Obviously.

 

[Tyranicon]

I can't wait for BG3 we have at home.

Dreadwolf is a derp character, but a 600% cooler name.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Might as well cut down to 2-man party and turn into a Sony exclusive at that point lol

 

[Alienman]

The logo looks very cartoony.

 

[Tyranicon]

The logo looks very cartoony.

It looks like it belongs on dildo packaging.

 

[Roguey]

I'm thinking that Bioware got so mad at "Dragon Age Deadname" that they decided to make it a deadname.

 

[Tyrr]

RIP

There's worse than the Darkspawn on the way.

I cannot lie - I'm definitely looking forward to what new and exciting companions they've cooked up in this modern climate.
