I honestly see people using the character creator to make the most hilariously disgusting character possible for a joke play through. Kind of like in the old Saint's Row games.

Imagine the "love" scenes with a 100% vitriligo slider character.

You just know there will be a dozen references about how JK Rowling is a horrible person and a character that is an obvious stand in for her in the game. My God, all this cringe and we only saw the CC, imagine what is hiding in the rest of the game.

If someone doesn't make a perfect Ma'am clone to roleplay, I'm gonna be disappointed

I took at peek at the preview thread on ResetEra since this game is tailor made for them. Found infamous BioWare shill shinobi working his magic on them. This guy is married with a kid and he's talking about his 'hot viking' character. What a fucking faggot lol

Yeah but those people enjoyed the gameplay of SR2/3 and the writing wasn't millenial cringe bait every other line. I imagine someone doing the same in DA4 wouldn't have the stomach to get anywhere near finishing the game unless they were trying to get some youtube views. Case in point I don't think too many people did this for NuSaints Row.

Seeing the butthurt people crying in the comments of Youtube videos and "news" sites, that "you haven't played it yet, you have no way of knowing it's bad, you're nitpicking" gives me nostalgic memories of the Fallout 3 release. It's curious how decades pass, but people remain the same, and the arguments too.

It's going to be shit. It's obvious it's going to be shit. It's the same issue when you analyze the character and integrity of an individual. It's hard to confirm good character, but extremely easy to perceive weakness and vice. You don't need years of coexistence and a psychological report to know if someone is honest; sometimes small, trivial and subtle attitudes reveal deep characteristics of their personality. Because attitudes exist in a context. And the same goes for games.

Seeing the game's art direction is already more than enough. But if there was still any doubt - and there wasn't - the character creator shows you everything you need to know. Because frivolous and stupid things like sliders and scars are indicators not only of a good or bad editor, but of the intentions and ideas that permeate the design of the entire game. Things like that don't exist in a creative vacuum, they are reflections of the rot that stinks and pollutes every aspect of the game. Because it shows the integrity, or in this case, the lack thereof, that permeates the game's decisions.

Not that I expected anything different from Bioware, of course. I already knew this game would possibly be one of the worst ever made. I can't say I'm disappointed because I never had any expectations. But I'm curious about whether this will be as big a failure as it deserves to be. Who knows, in a world where Concord failed so miserably, maybe it's finally Bioware's turn? A man can dream.

‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ Character Creator Has Option For “Top Surgery Scars”

This is their bear sex viral marketing ploy btw.
Seems to have backfired already. People thought the Bear Sex was funny, a few /v/-tards seethed about it but most people were amused.
I've seen nothing but near universal disgust at the top surgery scars.

The bear sex would have been nothing but a giggle of the week. If it wouldn't have fit the narrative and tagline Larian had promoted all along: "Do whatever you want to. Nothing is off limits. Including this." Which also fits the D&D theme. And was also backed up by the game at least some -- and picked up and communicated by plenty normie channels. It's like this Toddster take -- except with a happy audience ending.

Plenty companies could learn from Larian how to pitch a game to an audience. Simply trying to stir up a controversy isn't one.

We have come to a point where Bioware being folded and its IP given to some soulless corporate inhouse studio of EA would probably result in better game. Heck give it to the Ubi team who made Valhalla/Origin and it will probably be a better game

That's how insanely low the bar is for Bioware

At least the shapeshifter stuff fits in the lore, unlike sex-changing surgery.

Remember, all of this started with the Hamburger Hepler.

Hepler wrote some of the best Origins quests, the dwarf origin at least.
That's their superpower. They are really good sometimes but eventually their ideology takes over and ruins the other 90% of the stuff they create.
