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

Are there money shots in the sex scenes?

Do you really want money shots of the characters in this?

50cal 660 grain FMJ costs about $6 dolla per shot, I'd say that is a reasonable price to make sure they don't get back up.

What a hilariously cool picture, damn. Today making a company ad like that would...well, on one hand, get an unbelievable amount of screeching from the "usual suspects", but also so many high fives from mentally healthy people.

 

[Anthedon]

If they gave up on BioWare a decade ago (or more, for those of whom DAO was “the last good game”) then they were never going to buy the game anyhow. At which point: why should Bio listen to them? “Abandon your fanbase and woo us instead!” …okay, sure Jan.

Thank you for the kudos, but I think you overestimate my influence. By all reports, the writing is stellar (which I’d expect no less from Patrick and their team). As for the rest, whether you think it’s good or not it would be no different if I was still at BioWare.

Lead writer on Baldur's Gate 2 by the way, the codex goty and #3 top RPG, also wrote KOTOR and DAO.

So what, is Monkey Island bad too now that Ron Gilbert turned out a giant faggot? Besides, Baldur's Gate was made during an era when big budget games were still being made by gamers, for gamers:

I'm tempted to tag JarlFrank for his opinion on 90s Interplay developer feet.

There's nothing strange about it. The creators of this operation have not played any of the previous parts (watching gameplay on YouTube does not count) and neither do the defenders of this game (yes, including Gaider).

 

[Lodis]

Wait so nothing from Origins carries over and there's no way to influence what your Warden did? The absolute fucking state.

How can they consider her a central character to the franchise while burying to the game she had the most presence in and turning her into a generic NPC with zero connection to Origins?

 

[Lord_Potato]

They should at least ask if Morrigan had the devil child with the Warden. The little guy appeared in DAI after all (if you didn't upload your earlier choices).

Or maybe they consider her child canonical at this point which means male Warden and his romance with Morrigan are also canonical.

 

[Frozen]

Bitch, your decisions don't matter, its BioWare.

I remember some dude playing Origins, poisoned the ashes and got chopped head animation of Lelianna wen confronting her.

He rage quits at the end of DAII when she appears lel

"The maker did not think it was my time"

 

[Larianshill]

They actually explain it away in Inquisition, and it's sort of interesting.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

They should at least ask if Morrigan had the devil child with the Warden. The little guy appeared in DAI after all (if you didn't upload your earlier choices).

The copout they went for with DAI to invalidate those choices is that if the kid has the old god soul, Flemeth takes it. So whether no child, normal child or devil child, it makes no difference. Just as the copout for DA4 in regards to the well of sorrows will probably be that with Flemeth's death it doesn't matter who drank from it - either it has no effect anymore or Morrigan (/Solas?) inherits that power hence it doesn't matter if the Inquisitor drank from it if they have no reason (/ability) to control the drinker in DA4.

 

[N'wah]

Morrigan is the only character that was there at the start that can't die at any point in the series. I'm pretty sure thats the only reason why she keeps coming back - kind of like how Liara was used in Mass Effect 3 for all the exposition because she's guaranteed to be there.

Notice how Gaider stops at DA2 and DA:O without mentioning Andromeda and Anthem flops. True BioWare fans begged them to make BG3 or another DA:O and look how Larian totally upstaged BioWare. Granted BioWare's experiments with their own franchises like Mass Effect were good enough for three games but DA turned to trash after one good game. I don't remember people on BSN wanting NWN after DA:O, Origins were considered a better game.

Ironically many of the issues with with DA4 are beause it is the _same_ Bioware slop of the last 10 or more years.

 

[Fedora Master]

So even the token voice lines they did in ME are out the window. This is just lazy. They probably couldn't handle the "problematic" decisions you could make in DAO.

 

[thesecret1]

Deciding shit went out the window with DA2 already. You can spend the whole game supporting the Templars, but you'll end up with the tamplar leader as the final boss you need to kill, and with mages being freed. The IP ended with DAO, everything after it was irredeemable garbage.

That game came out a decade ago. Do people really care at this point?

You could stab her in the gut in DAO but Bioware did the same thing to her as they did to Leliana and she survives anyway.

 

[Fargus]

I stabbed her to death with my dick

 

[Camel]

The problem is BioWare made the game with all cliches and the worst parts of their writing without the best parts. Larger-than-life characters carried them after BG2, ME2 is all about assembling a team.

The devs wanted an option when Orsino survived after Hawke siding with the mages but higher-ups changed it to have two final boss battles.

 

[La vie sexuelle]

I have a theory that Canada turns people gay when exposed for too long.

French influence surely, just look at our resident La vie sexuelle. Isn't it like half of Canada is french speaking? Gay language. Don't worry though, healthy black muslim workers, doctors, engineers are already fixing this.

Québécois are a minority in Canada. Moreover, the entire LGBT "culture", vocabulary, flags and the belief that sexuality is something different from sex and that this sexuality can be the basis of human identity - these are Anglo-Saxon inventions.

 

[Space Satan]

Wow they, like really charged their bots to post neverending praise on youtube videos. It is even worse than Assassin's Creed.

Imagine that dude shutting up Imoen forever the moment she shows up the morning after Gorion gets crit by Sarevok, never clicking on the random NPC that may have been his Minsc in Nashkel, giving Khalid&Jaheira the hard pass, finishing BG1 with a party consisting of purely evil aligned sons of 'em bitches --

and then booting up BG2.

I have hard feelings against BG2 for this very thing. From my first playthrough I had Edwin (and killed Minsc and Dynaheir), Kagain, Xzar and various other characters (depending on playthourgh) that were not considered 'valid' by BG2.
