This trailer gave me hope that finally we will see Bioware getting the bullet.

Ive been waiting for so long for this meme to become reality.

 

[quixotic]

It’d be a mercy killing at this point.

This time it's Bioware's own fault and it's a merciful act of euthanasia.

 

[Space Satan]

at least now we have dark elves

Yes but it will still be funny.

What the FUCK

What about Dark Spawns?

I really do think there must have been a check-list. How the fuck did we end up in this timeline? How did it end up like this in only 20 years?

There is no check-list. The developers are simply willing corporate drones, and those who aren't already got fired/left a long time ago.

Jesus Christ, that's one ugly-ass tranny! Meanwhile, this is how the female qunari hero they made for the mobile game looked like:

You can feel the remants of GAAS from this art.

 

[Gargaune]

People took a closer look and it seems either their artists are shit ot it is ai generated

Wait a minute... That's not AI. That's...

Oh...

Oh, no...

 

[Wasteland]

At first I misread "Davrin" as "Darwin," which I assumed to be a clever tongue-in-cheek reference to the evolutionary rollercoaster necessary to produce a gay African elf who is also hyper-competent. Sadly, even that hilarious bright spot turned out to be a mirage. The trailer is irredeemable.

I disagree with those who compare it to Marvel. Yes, Marvel popularized the quippy-glib-ironic-Millennial-snark style on display here, but this trailer is so much worse. I think it's the cringiest trailer I've ever seen. Dreadwolf Deadname FailHard Failguard ... uh, Veilguard is now easily my most anticipated game of the year, perhaps of the decade. It will be the motherlode of schadenfreude. Nothing else comes close to the promise of this trainwreck.

This series completely abandoned its roots.

This is a DA:O trailer:

This is the top youtube comment on the DAO trailer:

Without knowing about what the calling is and what it means to a grey warden, you see the sheer numbers of those monsters and you think “there’s no way he’ll beat all of them, that’s ridiculous” but then you learn what the calling is and you realize he’s not there to beat them, he’s just there to kill as many as he can until he dies. It’s very sad, but more than a little badass.

I hadn't thought about DAO in a long time, but the commenter is right. The trailer references the honorable suicide of Wardens who've been driven insane by their own magic, a condition for which the game itself offers no pat solution, no last minute cures, no happy endings. It's difficult to fathom the difference between the culture (both broadly and at Bioware) that would proffer such an emotionally complex story beat as marketing, and whatever the fuck we have today.

I'm fucking livid, I liked this setting.

Oh, this one is easy to answer!

Mobile games have a large asian audience.

 

[Baron Tahn]

at least now we have dark elves

Hey now, hey, thats racist. We call them Elves from diverse backgrounds okay?

 

[9ted6]

GUYS HEY GUYS I THINK IT IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO REVIEW OUT STANCE ON DRAGON AGE INQUISITION AS A CLASSIC UNDEAPPRECIATED MASTERPIECE GUYS I A MSERIOUS IT ALL LOOK SO PRETTY NOW

Nope DAI is still crap.
DAO has no sequels. DAO need no "modern" sequels!

dao was not even good

It was a mediocre-at-best game with some good ideas that it utilized poorly.

This was peak and we didn't know

-hey, i think your armor requires oiling.
-what do you mean?
-when you are moving, your armor squeaks...
-huh? what are you talking about, it is not squeaking now!
-...
-ok, lets just carry on, we are almost out of this dungeon.

Even the Dragon Age 2 trailer was better, let alone Origins.

Yo Wasteland you should post more than 10x a year.

It reminds me of my attempt to use an AI to make an illustration of the characters that the players were going to use in a TTRPG session a couple of years ago... even then they had problems with the hand/weapon duo
