Lol nobody cares about DA canon in 2024, not even BioWare.

What a fucking joke. How is biowaste still alive? How is this possible?

 

[Pink Eye]

How is biowaste still alive?

Someone at EA has a fetish for ugly men pretending to be women. They want that nasty ass tranny mutilated pussy so bad that they're wiling to keep the bloated corpse of Bioware going.

 

[Fargus]

They're degenerates all the same.

-"Whut do you mean we are being laid off?! Why are these bigot incels cheering?"

That moment when a tranny starts to speak in that effete yet still recognisably male voice, always gives me chills. I guess it's because of the dissonance of it all, and in part because of the visceral "give me a break, dude!" reaction it evokes in me. I just can't take them seriously unless they can actually pass as women.

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

Bioware's anti-marketing campaign continues. They've taken me from mild interest to indifference to cringe, and now to actual physical nausea. I would say "Amazing work, guys" but they'd consider that sexist.

 

[Cohesion]

To which I then posted a self pic of myself.

Where is the pic? Codex members thread?

 

[Cohesion]

Some of us have detested Bioware since Baldur's Gate in 1998.

Next game was Fallout or Gothic, right? Right?

Bunch of fucking pussies. Hiding behind their monitors in anonymity while supporting these grotesque perversions on the human body. Such cowards they are, facilitating a generation of children to fall victim to these abominable practices of chopping and skewering one's private parts; of being addicted to life changing medications that leave permanent changes on the human anatomy; of having a whole generation of depressed people who can't even identity their God given gender; on top of ruining attractive hot waifus in RPGs.

Then they get all bitchy when you challenge them on this shit. Fuck off man.

Oh man, you really threw down the gauntlet on this random Steam thread about an RPG made by a historically liberal studio that's had trans characters in their games for literally like 15 years now.

While others cowered in fear, you were brave enough to stand up and tell a bunch of random, anonymous, people on the internet to come to your gym and face you head on.
Because smaller tits in a character generator means children are having their dicks cut off....or something.

But, alas! You were cut down in your act of heroism!

However, While these steam mods may have prevailed in the battle, your brave act of martyrdom is truly the harbinger that the tide of war is turning. All the dudes on youtube and the internet have just been silently enduring the onslaught of "woke" video games for far too long. None of them have ever made literally hundreds of thousands of videos saying the same shit about how games are woke because women in them are ugly and there's black people, but now that you've finally spoken up, the path is finally cleared for all of the persecuted incels to put down their pizza rolls and make their voices heard by refusing to buy a game they were never going to buy anyway.

People will be singing songs of your brave sacrifice for years to come.

 

[Skinwalker]

This tranny "game" has become so infamous, that some of the orthobros whose content I sometimes skim are now talking about its character creator...

THE WORLDS ARE COLLIDING

 

[Narax]

Even Mass Effect had a distinct aesthetic. This series still hasn't found one.

Despite its many flaws, DA2 at least managed to nail the aesthetics in terms of the stylized armour designs, the physical appearance of the qunari, and the overall art direction. IMO had bioware continued with the DA2 art direction the series would have had some semblance of an identity.

 

[Caim]

I can't wait for the meltdowns these assholes will get when someone mods their degeneracy out of the game. I want to savor the tantrums the troons will have when someone makes such a mod.

more like

seven zippertits

lmao got em

I think this is a problem with all the steam forums. They're likely all run by trannies, especially the Owlcat forums.

True. Moderasts on Owlcunt steam forum are extremely assblasted faggots worse than CDPR jannies. I was permabanned there.

 

[Aphex81]

I think the steam mod might be one of us. Everyone defending the game is banned. They even bought the game lol

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

Talk about lazy.

Nevermind that EA even had a page you could load saves from Origins and DA2 to generate and then import a world state to Inquisition. Granted most of it were cameos, but it was cool nonetheless to see Loghain appear in Inquistion for example. They really want to erase DAO and DA2.

Found an article about it:

Dragon Age The Veilguard will not use Bioware's age-old Dragon Age Keep system to ensure that you "focus" on "decisions that matter."

(...)

If there are whispers of the Hero of Ferelden or the Champion of Kirkwall in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, they won’t relate to your previous characters. Instead, the upcoming RPG will let you make a series of relevant world state choices in-game, abandoning Dragon Age Keep for a more streamlined experience.

I’m given a glimpse at the new system during my hands-on preview with The Veilguard in San Francisco, and while I won’t spoil it here, it’ll have some interesting implications on how the game plays out. During a creator roundtable, however, game director Corinne Bushe and creative director John Epler are asked about Bioware’s decision to remove the Dragon Age Keep functionality, and their response is certainly intriguing.

“This project has been in development for a while, so one of the things we did investigate is how far we wanted [previous game choices] to go,” Epler states. “For us, the core philosophy was that we want you to make choices that matter; choices that we can actually reflect.

“Part of going to northern Thedas is that a lot of stuff that matters tremendously if you’re in Ferelden and Orlais doesn’t matter as much in Tevinter. A great example is that The Divine is hugely important if you’re Adrastian in the south of Thedas, but they have their own Divine up in Minrathous. We really wanted to focus on decisions we knew would matter; that we knew we could do something interesting with.”

“It’s been a long time since Inquisition,” Busche adds. “Even if you’re a die-hard fan, unless you’re going to watch a YouTube replay of the [games], you may have some cobwebs on the choices you made or the implications of them. So not only did we want an in-game feature that would allow you to replicate [previous games’] choices that are contextually appropriate to [The Veilguard], but we also view it as a dual-purpose onboarding tool.

“If I’m a player that doesn’t remember, or hasn’t played, the past games, you’re going to see those choices – those beautiful tarot cards – with all the context of what they meant and why they mattered. So I view it as a beautiful onboarding tool as well.”

"Why bother with continuity for returning players when we have important things to work on, like skin diseases and mutilated tits?"

 

[Fargus]

Inquisition was released in 2014? Their old fanbase are probably considered neonazis by todays standarts so why bother indeed? Now, Larpian fagbase on the other hand *smacks lips* is ripe for the picking.

To me they officially died with ME3. Even that game had redeeming qualities unlike Inquisition and Andromeda.

Dragon Age is really influential, it is already bringing a new level of customization to other genres

I can't wait for the meltdowns these assholes will get when someone mods their degeneracy out of the game. I want to savor the tantrums the troons will have when someone makes such a mod.

I doubt it, this game won't take off to make such mods even. Baldur's Gate 3 has all the mods you desire whether you are a disgusting "white CIS" or a furry degenerate because that game is quite a decent RPG underneath. People just enjoy gameplay and mod the aesthetics to please them more. Which I personally never do, I want to experience the game in full glory and degeneration as developer intended, but I certainly appreciate all the possibilities.

DA4 on the other hand, while I haven't played it, but seeing trailers I can say that almost certainly has garbage gameplay that is a cheap imitation of popular games. Nobody wants that. Not RPGCodex, not average person that can play 10 new better games instead of this, the only people who care about such gameplay are... none. Even Biodrones are probably not talking about gameplay now. They will play their troon simulator but not for the gameplay.

Either that, or IQ100 looks way more stupid than I could ever imagine.

Bold of you to assume an average Reddit moderator is 100 IQ. People with 100 IQ have better things to do in their lives than spend afternoons censoring others.

It's a combination of bots and extremists. For years even basic conservative stances - that were the norm for most of human history out of necessity to survive - have been vilified and framed as 'Far Right'.

Leftists tend to come in one of two flavours. There's the well meaning genuinely liberal types and then there's the spiteful mutants who are true believers in what is essentially one big death cult. The former has earned the wrath of the latter, since even someone who subscribes to liberal beliefs will be exiled if they disagree on even one particular issue. As we saw with J.K Rowling.

The spiteful mutants are the sort flocking to games such as this. Nothing gets them off more than destroying something that they know used to appeal to the dreaded 'gamers' that they fear and despise so much.

Dragon Age: Origins triggered their ilk hard, as it's rooted in European fantasy aesthetics and mythology. That is, more than anything, what they despise. Just like how they plan to flood the real world with vaguely ethnic, androgynous individuals they also seek to do the same thing in fictional settings in a misguided effort to normalise it.
