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

Why is it called pan-sexual when they are just bi-sexual?

 

[Alienman]

Uruk-khai swords doubles as can opener. Very useful!

 

[Modron]

That's the Uruk-khai sword from LOTR and it's just just as impractical.

Uruk-hai sword looks to be 40 lbs lighter and a simple to quickly mass produce cleaver.

Why is it called pan-sexual when they are just bi-sexual?

Being bisexual is probably verboten among SJWs and assorted freaks these days because it acknowledges that gender=sex and that there are only two genders, not a spectrum. Expect the b to be removed from LGBTBBQ+ within the next couple of years. I can already imagine the autistic chants of B stands for Bigotry among the screech owls.

BioWare has already revealed that every companion in Veilguard is pansexual, notably different from the community-dubbed "playersexual" approach in some games, which sees NPCs adjust romantic and sexual interests based on the player rather than their own sense of sexuality. As pansexual companions, they are attracted to people of any gender (or regardless of gender). That's a critical distinction because, in Veilguard, your companions aren't just going to vie for your affection – they might take attraction to other companions in the titular Veilguard.

Giving one companion the cold shoulder might nudge them into the warm shoulder of someone else on the team. Busche says companions can form romances with each other, although I'm unable to confirm if that means locking Rook out of forming a romance with them.

We're just a game or so away from DA being the cuck simulator its fans have been praying for.

 

[Old Hans]

Would've been smarter to bring back the rivalry system from DA2 tbqh.

Bring the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor and apply it to sex.

that would be funny. imagine you turn down sex from the randomly generated Nemesis NPC, and hours later they come back even more desperate

Yeah, they really have no fantasy. Think the dwarven stone lore and craftmanship united whith a true concept of "pansexual". Tremble, oh deep throats of the Earth... of Arda.

Yes, Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has Nudity, And I've Seen It​

https://www.gameinformer.com/exclus...-age-the-veilguard-has-nudity-and-ive-seen-it

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will feature nudity. That's something I learned firsthand while customizing my Rook within BioWare's Edmonton, Canada, office earlier this year during my cover story visit. We were customizing a feminine Rook, and while adjusting body options - read Game Informer’s in-depth feature about Veilguard’s character creator here for more details – our Rook's shirt disappeared to let us customize things like chest size.

And that's when Veilguard game director Corrine Busche smiled, likely knowing full well that nudity in the character creator means nudity elsewhere in the game, like in Veilguard's romances, something I know BioWare fans will be delighted to hear. "This is a mature RPG," she tells me.

 

[jaekl]

I'd rather have my eyes removed with a shotgun than see any of those people naked.

 

[9ted6]

So now that the elves were retconned into a slave race they're all nonwhite, but the mega strong mega important ancient elves are still white.

Pretty problematic of you Bioware.

 

[Lacrymas]

Showing explicit sex and nudity is only mature if you are 14.

It started in Inquisition, followed by Andromeda. All thanks to CD Project Red.

But with those new faces... maybe Decline ?

Each companion has access to five abilities, but you can only take three into combat.

The fuck?

More pozzed garbage, going from "playersexual" to "pansexual". So every companion is a faggot.

Despite their boasting that they've created something groundbreaking, the only difference is that now the party members can romance each other, and even that has already been done in Mass Effect 3 between Tali and Garrus.

They shouldn't use the term 'pansexual' unless these can also romance other random non-party NPCs, animals or minerals. Maybe they should stick to 'partysexual' until these characters can also romance the pet gryphons or mabari hounds.

It seems to me that those are the same, despite their boasting that they've created something groundbreaking. The only difference is that now the party members can romance each other, and even that has already been done in Mass Effect 3 between Tali and Garrus.

That has already been done in BG2 with Aerie and Haer'Dalis.

 

[processdaemon]

It's even been done already within the Dragon Age series with Isabella and Fenris in DA2 (which was only a fling but I'd still say it counts) and Iron Bull and Dorian in Inquisition.

Mature writing requires a mature author. Not purple haired millennials.

Every companion in the game has a Relationship Level related to Rook, and the choices you make (and not even specifically about the companion, but in the world in general), what you say to companions, how you help or don't help them, and more all play into it. Every time you rank up a companion's Relationship Level, you unlock a skill point to spend specifically on that companion. Though companion skill trees pale in comparison to Rook's expansive tree, which features passive abilities, combat abilities, and more, as well as paths to three unique class specializations, there's still some customization here.

Each companion has access to five abilities, but you can only take three into combat. Thus, it's important to strategize which abilities to spend a skill point on and how those abilities can synergize with your current build on the battlefield.

1) "Though companion skill trees pale in comparison to Rook's expansive tree" - so more movement towards action games. Less management for a party, companions complement spinal-oriented combat rather than allow to build comprehensive tactics.

2) "Every time you rank up a companion's Relationship Level, you unlock a skill point to spend specifically on that companion." - actually it's a good idea - connect personal influence at companions to their combat skills. But limiting it to a sex appeal is ridiculous. Would be nice to have a greater set of interactions, that require a broader managerial soft skills, but it may contradict pre-chosen CHA attribute and I have some doubts that writers of DAtV have a necessary knowledge what makes leader a leader.

I bet they delivered less than what was in Shepard x Liara sex scene.

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

deliver

Ja.

Check Cora and Ryder romance scene. It's fucking jarring how high quality the sex scene actually is compared to the rest of the scene.
