Just watched it. Shit looks already more exciting than anything Larian, Obsidian and Bethesdard have clumsily cobbled together with their own shitty outdated engines.

Inb4 Bear sex butthurt.
For the uninitiated newfags, the gentlemanperson on this little smiley: :d1p: is Wirdschowerdn's, or as he xir is better known Morgoth's, old avatar.

Accept it. Xir cannot help xir nature. Xir will do it.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I know it's prolly a petty complaint compared to everything else but... run the trailer one more time and focus on the music.

This must be the cheapest AI music generator on the market. The fact someone greenlighted this shows nobody really gives a fuck over there. We're gonna have fun with this boys.

Obvious critical negatory post = immediate lock.

Thinly-veiled (heh) bait = mods will allow it.

They really need to give their steam mods some media training 'cause they've been getting mogged for weeks now and it'll only get worse.

"Actually, mutilating yourself because you're mentally ill is centrist."

Morgoth is the icon of your average upper middle class retard who is so liberal they'd blow their own brains out if they thought it "owned the cons". And really, they're not so far off when you're celebrating the extinction of entire family lines just to be especially progressive. And not the extinction of the bad rightoid genetic lines, either, just your own.

You know what? I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that thing.
Are you a Biowaste employee? Or just a retard? You wouldn't be a retard for free would you? Nah, you probably are.

If DAV isn't definition of WOKE then what is? If thousands of randoms if not 100s of thousands worldwide see something and battle over it while that thing being woke is AXIOM, something that's given, and agreed upon by all war parties, then how the fuck one of Infinitron's buttbuddies from shill division keeps his face straight while claiming this isn't gayest thing ever?!?

New height for retardation.

Wirdschowerdn I hope you violently die, shiteating anti-human woke scum. In upcoming Civil Wars one of Codexers will claim your head. Darkspawn are gentlemen for brainfucked retards like you

1000 concurrent Steam players in the first 24 hours. Do you take the over or the under?
My bet is around 3000 to 4000 concurrent Steam players at start, it will also probably be top 10 on top seller list at launch.

I do think it will have a decent launch due fanboys, reddit types and few console normies that will buy anything, but the little hype the game has will evaporate completely after few weeks.

Total sales on all platforms I imagine will be about 500000 at the end of the year, at which point it will become a dead forgotten game.

And this is more "optimistic" opinion.

Hopefully the game will completely crash and burn at launch.

Even the dragons look gay.

But are they also going to be woke?
Why? You'll suck dragon cock either way. Dragon cocksucking mental midget faggot. Die scum

Share the same grave with trannies from Bioware. Your existance pollutes Earth. Cut your dick with rusty knife and jerk yourself to death while watching Veilguard release trailer. And be forgotten faster then this WOKE turd calling itself "game"

Killing Fenris and Anders was satisfying, I liked the "rival" system in Dragon Age 2, very underrated and should be used more and improved upon in party-based RPGs, my Hawke got along well with some party members, but had conflicting relationships with others, which ended up turning into bitter rivalry and hatred, culminating with the death of some of the said characters at the hands of the protagonist.

The game not only allowed you to kill the said characters, but acknowledged it and integrated it to the story-line, not a happy one by the way, as underdeveloped as it was, it was dark and bleak.

It was also hard to "game" the system, because it was slow and gradual, and your decisions and dialogue choices always displeased some of your party members.

If we can build up friendships and romance, then why not antagonism, if we have different values and opposing world views ? Having a common goal doesn't make these differences go away. It was a nice touch and a welcome break from the lovey-dovey merry band of brothers that we get as "party members" in most other RPGs.
Alpha Protocol had a better system of reputation with NPC 2 years before DA2. You get different bonuses from being liked or hated by NPC.

I'll take the over. There's still a lot of Biodrones out there that will make it at least an early success. It'll fall off quickly though.

I suppose I have to make some preparations for a proper Shadenfreude seanse. Like, a wine, some cheese or rum and cola and then savour purest woke copium and indulge myself in fine spirits spiced with reading negative ratings and observing flop in real-time. I will need someone with whom i may share my enjoyment and torrent of positive energy, born in a burning butts of DEI animals. A cat on my lap will do.
