Who names a fantasy character Bethany, my Lord!
I'd tag him with this screenshot today and reply "Possibly you hang out on Australian government handouts"

Dare I claim these days are actually past ? Mid2000s to early 2010s to be more precise.In the future, every large-budget game will feature a journalist difficulty setting.
Among other parameters, the indie market + FromSoft's autist in chief Miyazaki slew that dragon.
I know it'll wake again at some point, but the current climate, as illustrated with recent hits (Black Myth, Space Marine 2) is still geared towards challenge (whether it's properly done is another topic).

The BioWare school of YA naming conventions or the Soyerite one of autistic renamings and conlang tier posturing. Which way, RPG man?Who names a fantasy character Bethany, my Lord!
But real Soyerism has never been tried!
I agree on some parts, but come on, it'd be a very easy PR win if the managers did a PR stunt where they made the boob/ass sliders actually let players make big booba women. Or if they took off that surgery scars option that doesn't fit in a fantasy setting. Rest of the game is probably too hard to fix at this point though.

Studio closure outright is the worst possible outcome for the people cheering for it to happen. The studio disappears. People are going to apply for other jobs all over the place. If you detest something this much, you want to contain and trap that thing in the icy corporate colds of Canada forever. Not for it to be unleashed onto the world.
Just sayin'.

Actually, it reminded me a little bit of Parasite Eve 2.

Kind reminder that up until 2023 it was 6 mln copies - after that DAI was heavily discounted (~5$ on PSN and Steam) and was given away for free on Epic.
Yes, this is why I always include the time frame. After around 18 months, (edit: most AAA) games start selling at a permanently discounted price unless they are absolute hits like GTA V. And also, every Nintendo Switch game.
I still can't get over the shiny forehead design for discount tieflings.

Hey everyone!
Today, we want to share many of the Accessibility features in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Regardless of skill level or ability, we want everyone to be able to enjoy the full experience and story of our game. There are several features and settings to customize the game to meet your individual needs; so let’s dig in!
First off, let’s discuss combat and the difficulty settings. During Character Creation, players can select from one of five curated difficulty levels or create a completely customized experience:
- Storyteller
- Here for the story.
- Keeper
- A balanced combat experience that emphasizes party composition and equipment choices over reaction times.
- Adventurer
- A balanced experience that places equal emphasis on combat, party composition, and equipment choices.
- Underdog
- Here to be pushed to the limit, requiring strategic planning and tactical decisions.
- Nightmare
- Overwhelming battles that give no quarter. Requires a mastery of combat, equipment, skills, and game mechanics to survive.
- Selecting Nightmare cannot be undone without starting a new playthrough.
- Unbound
- Customize all settings.
- Settings impact numerous aspects of gameplay. If this is your first time, consider a curated preset instead.
Even after selecting a difficulty, there are more combat options available in the Settings Menu if you wish to make further adjustments. For example, you can adjust elements like parry timing, aim assist strength, or even how aggressive enemies are. See below for a full list of combat settings.
UI and HUD elements are also customizable. Many elements of the HUD can be conditionally hidden or turned off entirely. For example, you can fully hide elements like Rook’s health, the objective tracker, or the Mini Map. There are also options for the text size in the UI.
There are some accessibility aids for interface elements. For example, subtitles are fully customizable allowing you to modify things like the size, opacity, speaker names, and color. Other settings add audio aids to visual-only elements like incoming attack indicators. For anyone with vision deficiencies, there are full-screen color filters to improve visibility.
Beyond the UI and HUD, there are a few more options regarding the game’s visual effects. For anyone who deals with motion sickness, there is a Persistent Dot Option and Motion Blur can be fully turned off. The in-game Camera Shake can also be adjusted from 0-100%. Additionally, there’s an FOV slider in the graphical settings.
As discussed in the PC Features Blog, all inputs are remappable for gameplay in Dragon Age: The Veilguard on both controller and keyboard for all platforms. Input sensitivity and deadzones are also customizable with sliding scales. There are some UI interactions that require an input to be held for a short period of time, but this can be changed to tap instead. All of these options allow you to play the game in whatever way is most comfortable.
These settings and more are available in Dragon Age: The Veilguard! See a full list below to check out all of our Accessibility settings and check out our Accessibility Portal. Chat soon!

Interesting video from Mark Darrah. Looks like he´s the one keeping some common sense and sanity in the company. At least from the ones that are shown on camera.

Bioware... what a name it used to be, right? Man, back in the day, when something was 'special,' it meant you were looking at exotic landscapes, lush flora and fauna, imaginative buildings, richly atmospheric settings, environmental objects, and props, etc.
Today, if you'll pardon what’s not even that big of a hyperbole, 'special' apparently means flashy, colorful UI elements, icons, and pop-up hints constantly bombarding you every time something so much as moves.
In another time and place, I’d find myself captivated by the details of a thoughtfully designed little fantasy bookshelf like the one shown in the video of that redesigner guy.
But in this world, here, and now, after Bioware's master designer put craft into portraing the little element, trying to capture the feel of decrepitude and all, the team behind the gameplay—aka the ones responsible for keeping things trendy who act like they know very little of actual gameplay experience—have buried it under shiny clutter so that it feels an absolutely insignificant filler piece of the screen. Worse, they’ve made it seem like something I don’t even want to look at, much less wonder about, like whether it might contain a forgotten +1 skill scroll or a story-related secret, or whatever.

Too 'problematic' for current year.
If you turn this picture upside down it looks like she has an ass on her head trying to push a giant turd out.

If Darrah, who got fired from Bioware, is attempting to latch up on the "Tim Cain on Games" series, he's miserably failing. Bloke got nothing interesting to say, unlike Tim, who's a treasure of experience and stories.
