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

[Butter]

I like the bruises. Will Veilguard represent relationships where either party gets a regular beating?

There would be hell to pay on the BioWare forums if they didn't include lesbian relationships.

Some more gameplay footage:

Previous part

the way the indian lady is all beat up in the thumbnail, made me think a cool feature for Dragon Age would be if you could abuse your companions if they don't perform well

And on a different note,

Of course all the proper staff jumped ship before or around Inquisition and the hackiest ones remained. This is the guy that blamed the hate for Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 on Gamergate, because who in their right mind would shit on a barely functioning game that was developed in a year and another one that ended a trilogy in the worst way possible.

So apparently the choices from prior games that carry over are just:

Talk about lazy.

I'm amazed by how Bio thinks they can have their cake and eat it with their soft reboot attempt but love of dragging back old characters. They bring back Morrigan; no flag to check if she is romanced, no flag to check if she has a kid, I thought there was supposed to be a flag for the Inquisition well thingy to handle if she may be under a geas; is that not even in the game. No flag to check if the Warden is even alive I'm guessing either so good luck for those hoping for any updates on that front. Absolute clown show to have none of the above; what's the point of even bringing back the character except to serve as a banal plot device that will further disappoint everyone involved.

Truly, having long running IPs with direct continuations is very ill-fitting for the videogame industry without a continuing strong figure at the head of it from start to finish. With the eleventh hour stingers and the Theseus ship development team effect, you end up with some tranny at the helm and this shitshow of a sequel. Would have been much better off having distinct, unconnected stories within the setting rather than this mess. This thing's been rebooted that many times there's probably no budget left for much of anything off the critical path so past games being ignored is to be expected I guess. Was never the biggest fan of the direction Laidlaw charted for the games but heck, the devil you know and all that.

Heck it's EA-owned so this franchise's destruction was inevitable anyway.

And on a different note,

4:19

After being by two minutes in all trailers together, fictional character is diagnosed with ADHD and now it's her official personality.

Some more gameplay footage:

For anyone wondering like I was: the gameplay starts at 22 minutes into the 23 minute video.

Yeah and looks like shit.

Perhaps future of Bioware is in making 3D visual novels.

Rook literally says "Whoa!" when he steps outside the first time

This dialogue is too much.

I have more temper for cringe, but I was defeated by conversation around 16:34. "Oh, people!" with voice sweeter and more infantile than any weeb game I know.

Reminds me of that cringe kitsune from WotR. Reddit character.

That character is basically this:

Yes, but tumbrl is strong Bioware, escapat Russians cannot compete:



Nenio has nice voice, even when she talks bullshit, and her bullshit is less infantile and annoying than Veilguard. I think Sendri would be a better comparison.

Here we go with the whole "but the franchise has ALWAYS been x" and the "just ignore it" arguments that paid shills love using. And yes Bioware has always been known to include faggotry in their games past BG2, but there's a threshold and at this point even your average gamer is starting to get put off by the sheer amount of pozz. And now there's some bizarre attempt to normalize top surgery scars now.

Did NWN have faggotry? Cant remember.

I think their first game with faggotry was Jade Empire

KOTOR actually with Juhani. But nobody remembers because nobody plays as female Revan.

A fun fact: Juhani is the most common Finnish male first name (very often as the second first name), many such cases (>350K). Now seeing it as a female name in the game makes it extra weird for me.

"You can play rock, paper, scissors with a skeleton! So cute!"

RPS was heavily featured in Farscape, so optimistically, maybe that's the connection. Even Origins was riddled with anachronisms and Whedonisms

To think that any ‘current year’ childish slop is an indirect byproduct of Farscape of all things is silly, but to lump it in with Whedon is fighting words.

P.S. They only did Rock Paper Scissors amongst themselves a couple times, played for foreign culture laughs, it wasn’t a running gag.

Alrighty, went to the Veilguard's Steam discussions. How much time will you give me until I'm banned by biodrone jannies?

You already are, you just don't know it yet.

This may be the only time in the year I want a roastie to be right.

What is a roastie?
