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

[Old Hans]

So we learned that this game is a JRPG aimed at the young adult audience and is as plain as a blank canvas.

that is an insult to jrpgs. Dragon Quest 1 has more adult story than this garbage

It also says somewhere that no companions can die before the end.

Part of what makes this so popcorn-worthy is that, if the game releases and Skillup is vindicated (Jason Shrier giving tentative confirmation) then it'll prove something we've long suspected - the reviewers across the board make a habit of playing through a game on the easiest difficulty to bumrush the game and get a story out.

Morty does 100% achievement runs. If there is an achievement for beating the game on hard, then he has done so.
But yes, I do suspect, and even expect, that rushing to finish the game involves playing it on the easiest difficulty. How would it not?
Years ago there was some review commenting on actual game mechanics, like invisible barriers or whatever, that only work that way on easy. And then the reviewer complained about the bad ending, but the game only ends that way on easy mode. On every other mode, you get a different, cooler ending. When the developer said as much on Twitter, they redacted the review text, but kept the score low, despite deleting the given reasons for why it is low. A screenshot of this review was reposted often during Gamer Gate, someone might have it.

Hasn't he been caught using cheats to give himself all achievements on steam. Like he had 100% on a game (games?) where 100% was impossible due to a bug. What are the odds he even played more than an hour of this slop?

RE: Why bear sex is ok/liked by people in BG3 even though it's bestiality - the moral problem with having sex with animals is because they can't consent. The bear in BG3, being a druid who is shapeshifted, can and has given consent beforehand. There is also the sanitary problem of having sex with animals, but I don't know how that applies to druids and their forms.

More salient: Bestiality suggests a grotesque soul/mental illness. You're not supposed to be sexually attracted to animals. Even if the animals were perfectly capable of consent an there were no risks regarding hygiene/disease, it would still spell the death of civilization if this were permitted on a wide scale.

"It's just a joke bro."

Our civilization is dying being killed, and the bread and circus we're being fed is rubbing our noses in it. I'm not laughing.

Let's say it one more time.
Bear sex in BG3 was marketing trick so good, everyone is still talking about it.
Hell, people will talk about it for few years.
It was disgusting. But core memory unlocked.

which is silly. according to my PEW research, half the fun of rpgs is getting companions killed before the end

 

[Swen]

They also see it as a joke. The same as Larian did. For me it seems like a parody of Bioware style alien-romances.

Friendly reminder that Aracanum also did it as a joke:

Larian was also smart enough to use it as marketing material.

you can always tell an eastern european was playing a game when you see the "activate windows" message

Don't make excuses for people promoting bestiality. You need to do more reading. This was covered in depth. Many articles, many forums posts, were quite pleased with that being included in the game. It was not a laughing matter for all for them. It was progress for zoophiliacs. There isn't that many letters left to add to the alphabet weirdos. They have more flags planned. Making excuses as "oh it was just marketing" is extraordinarily ignorant and actually quite telling.

Sort of like this post.

So this Taash character
-Is ugly as fuck
-Annoying as fuck
-Talks like she’s from California
-Acts super masculine and aggressive
-Entire character arc revolves around pronouns
-Other characters do nothing but suck her off
-Brings back a legacy character just so they can apologize for misgendering
-Player character is forced to treat her with kid gloves and literally can’t say a single mean thing when talking to her
-Can’t get rid of her or kill her

Congratulations BioWare you’ve probably created one of the worst companions ever put in a video game. Even surpassing that mentally retarded elf dyke from Inquisition.

 

[Pink Eye]

Great fucking writing, real good shit.

Where's the fucking justice man. Iron Tower is about to be closed down, meanwhile this shit with its 100 million+ dollar budget is allowed to fart itself onto the market.

 

[GaelicVigil]

True, but you need to add a little context to that statement. The "LGBTQ "represent about 15 people vs the 940,294,993 who see that tag as an absolute abomination.

Gaymers are gayer than the general population, and even in the general population, among moneyhavers productbuyers, the most frequent emotion it elicits is nihilism. Actively hating gays is only a majority view in cultures too poor to buy a big game on release anyways.
Honestly LGBT support and LGBT hate are probably equal forces in rich markets, and both are overshadowed by people who don't care and want you to shut up already.

Ah so that explains why Concord only had a total of 697 concurrent players at its peak and was shut down a few weeks after launch.

Guess that huge population of rich Gaymers missed the boat on this amazing faggotry-infested clusterfuck they would have loved so much.

No, this game is a pure, unadulterated western niggertranny circus aimed at Reddit trannies. Jap games still have women in them.

It's not what you do. It's who you know. The Bioware management is probably in deep with marketers and so on.

All the niggers, the trannynegro clown char creator, the ugly women, muh refugees, all the retarded awful writing and so on was all just jokes! Haha, so funny game!

We've talked about that before. Online multiplayer shooters and RPGs have very different target audiences. If Concord was a dating simulator RPG, it wouldn't have flopped nearly as badly. Tomorrow, we will see if Veilguard flops or not. I'm still of the opinion that it will do okay.

Surpassing is too weak a word. That elf had a character arc of "peasant bandit realizes fairy tales are real".
+you can explicitly tell her to fuck off

Her whole lesbian arc was in the line "We both like women" and occasionally hitting on some females. This taash shit is incomparable.

Ok. Here's my next question.

Taash is Rook's girlfiend, I mean boyfiend.
I don't know anymore.
