This game will be a boring dodgeroll through marvel writing and hideous ui, and that's the best-case scenario at this point.
We need a nostalgia button. "Old" is not the same.Look at these young men.
Full of life and hopes. Dreaming about a bright future. A bright future where their will finally add top surgery scars to a character creator.
I think I prefer my interpretation of it...I think its a smoking pipe, but since this is Dragon Age, it cant just look like a normal pipe, It has to be some weirdly stupid high concept designIs that one of those mummy embalming tools she is holding? That tool that pulls the brain out of the skull through the nose?Not much longer
PIPE-DIPE WHAT SHE HAS ON HEAD?!!
A stand? Plate? Antenna?
Why does every element of this game have to be so stupid?
A one-sided horseface blinder. Latest fashion, and very practical in combat.

It's a squished academic cap, to show she smart and modern (can't have some bigoted traditional look), and put on the side to show she's quirky. Perfect fashion statement for this girlboss!I think I prefer my interpretation of it...I think its a smoking pipe, but since this is Dragon Age, it cant just look like a normal pipe, It has to be some weirdly stupid high concept designIs that one of those mummy embalming tools she is holding?

It's moving up the chart
For comparison:
Dragon Ball
Silent Hill 2
Gonna laugh my ass off is a Bloober game outsells a AAA RPG from EA.

I mean, it's an achievement to be worse than them, I guess.

They were going for a fascinator. But because they are talentless hacks, they failed so hard, it looked like it got hit by a plate so hard, it stuck.
I suppose that was the point, but it still all looks stupid. This simple thing shows how complex the aesthetics of this game are.

When it comes to hats and outfits, the entire Dragon Age series is wall to wall bad ideas, and don't even get me started on their shield designs!

Of course, especially after the first part, when first they went cartoony, then they tried to rationalize the cartoon, and now they went full cartoon.
However, I think that when it comes to games like this (I am putting aside truly historical games here), we can turn a blind eye to many things as long as we recognize the referent of the symbolic representation. Veilguard has crossed a certain line here and is part of a broader trend where designs are becoming so abstract that we have trouble comparing them to something familiar. After all, Concord messed up the design because their characters looked really weird.

We mostly just need to forget about devs that align themselves with the interests of the western world.

As a resident of the western world, I absolutely reject the idea that this agenda is in any way to our interests. It's blatantly self-destructive. The minority of people pushing it may think it is in *their* interests, but only because they expect to exploit and destroy the rest of us.
Yeap. There's a reason why these assholes have such a high suicide rate amongst themselves, which, after inflation adjustments, has gotten even higher.
The loonies can't even stand to look at themselves in the mirror without wanting to off themselves:

Someone did an analysis video on how needlessly intrusive and shitty the UI is:

The only way to debloat this game is to delete the people working on it.

Any stats for the EA Desktop client? I figure most PC pre-orders will be there.

They must feel very secure about their preorder numbers, if they double down like that
