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

Oh, it's going down.

I'm not very well versed in Dragon Age lore, who would you even ask to cut your tits off in a pseudo-safe way? Some blood mages? Some regular mage to teleport your tits off so he has something to fondle at night?

 

[Haba]

Oh, it's going down.

I don't even.

Fuck it.

Let's just start killing them. Today.

You can play as Frankenstein's monster???

This thing is gonna get mixed reviews at launch, all the usual suspects are going to cry about "review bombing," and the steam forums will be a warzone.
Oh, and IGN will give it a 9/10.

Obviously I haven't played the game yet, but having seen 3 videos with their own gameplay footage and commentary, I think it looks on par with Inquisition.
The same quality of visuals, animation, lighting, etc, compared to the state of the industry at the time; the same glossy toy-like characters (apperantly its on purpose); the same gameplay space between a third person RPG and an action game; the same loop of fighting an encounter with all available resources, then getting it all back after its over, and having a talk with the involved NPCs, move to the next area for the next encounter. It also has a hub fortress to go back to and talk to people about recent story developments.
Inquisition had very talmudic crafting, which becomes mandatory to grow in power after midgame, hopefully that's not in this time.

I recently tried to replay Inquisition, and quit probably halfway through. The same happened when I tried Fallout 4 after that. Veilguard seems to be a game on par with these, in most ways. So not bad, just.... meh.

Ok but how moist are the characters' faces? I won't accept a sequel with less skin moistness. They need to at least look like they were dipped in a vat of canola oil if I were to take this game seriously as a sequel to dragon age Inquisition

It’s so important that players feel they can be represented and feel pride in that representation as they go through the creation process

Friendly reminder that Patrick Weekes is the lead writer.

He went from generic nerd (see subject A)

To modern audience caricature (see subject B)

Imagine my surprise when I discovered he had his name changed to Trick Weekes.

Hope that helps.

That's pure, distilled soy...worthy of a purestrain bioware

Here's the loon in charge. Also, it looks like a dumpster fire.

That's an elf, the bulge is as big as it's going to get.

 

[Tyrr]

They have a vitiligo slider

 

[deuxhero]

Will they finally shut down Bioware after this fails?

 

[Morgoth]

You can play as Frankenstein's monster???

Better even, you can play as yourself!

 

[Rahdulan]

I warned myself Bioware would get the wrong idea on what they had to one-up Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 with. It surprises me there's no schlong size given they're going for M rating.
