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

I'd love to see Bioware make a game where every companion is a LGBT character, the shitshow will be glorious and probably more fun to watch than playing the game.

People always say Bioware is going to make it, but they never do, and they always tries to pander to the "straight white guy" instead of going full SJW.

There was 1 straight female romance option in DA:I out of 8.

There was 1 straight female romance option, but also 1 lesbian, 1 bi female, 1 bi male, 1 gay male. Every sexuality has only one character, except straight male, which get 3 for some reason.

 

[Reinhardt]

If you play a straight male you get 5 different character to romance, others has only 3.

And ALL these characters are ugly abominations.

 

[Quillon]

I'm confused, who are the 5 straight female romance options in MEA? There was the white hair one and the turian maybe and?

I remember Cassandra and that accountant as straight options in DAI, who is the third?

And what does it have to do with "straight white male" and not just "straight male"?

There was 1 straight female for males to romance in DA:I.
One.
The other one was a bisexual.

It is always entertaining to see faggots trying to write a believable male-female interaction. Or describe the feeling of man's love to woman. Like a blind person issued with the task to write about red elephant.

 

[Yosharian]

If you're a straight male, you have the following options:

• Cassandra Pentaghast: a humorless religious zealot with a lesbian haircut and a masculine face, which was much changed from the face she had in DA2 which was quite feminine
  
• Josephine Montilyet: an uppity diplomat with perhaps the ugliest face a female romance option has ever had in a Bioware game; also she refuses to have sex with you, and sits like a man

If you're a straight female, you have the following options:

• Blackwall: a stoic, traditionally-masculine warrior
• Cullen Rutherford: a charismatic, traditionally-masculine warrior
• Solas: a mysterious, handsome elf mage (handsome for an elf, anyway)

I think it's obvious what agendas are at play here, but I'll let a random forum-goer speak instead:

I personally thought Josephine's romance was refreshing for this specific reason. Sex scenes and the overt sexualised fanservice in Mass Effect had a way of making me feeling slightly uncomfortable having said that it's a personal thing and I'm glad BioWare are being diverse with not only romance it seems but the complexity of their characters and putting consideration into how their romance would play out.

Well said, retarded forum-goer, well said.

If you feel tempted to argue DA:I was anything other than naked radical feminist agenda at work, you could be functionally retarded.

 

[Yosharian]

As for Andromeda, the female character redesigns are evidence enough of the same agenda at play, regardless of how assymetric the sex scenes were in terms of content.

Dragon Age 2 was the bold endeavour to set new standarts for cringe levels.

You really think her romance is better in female-female version?

I have no idea, I just posted it because it's one of the worst pieces of romance dialogue I've ever had to listen to.

Mary Kirby, who wrote this dialogue, possesses a degree in Creative Writing from the Erie campus of Penn State University.

 

[AwesomeButton]

they always tries to pander to the "straight white guy"

In Andromeda there was like one straight human female. UGLY straight human female. And shitstorm already was glorious because apparently her haircut only allowed for dykes.
Sorry, fucking retarded looking tentacled abominations and furries is zoophilia. There is nothing "straight" about it.

In Andromeda the straight male romance cut scene was better made than any other cut scenes in the whole game.

If you play a straight male you get 5 different character to romance, others has only 3.

Bioware are very SJW, but they still want to attract the "straight white guy" players because they know that's the majority of the market.

The moment you start taking into account romance options when thinking how to attract players, your game is definitely not worth playing.

 

[sullynathan]

Josephine was definitely the best looking female in da.

Everyone walks like a man because of animations.

Compared to who, Bull? Josephine is a fucking dog.

And I'm fully aware of the reason for the shitty sitting animations. Funny how it wasn't a priority to put in feminine animations, isn't it?

A reminder for those who successfully expunged this monstrosity from their memories, or never had the misfortune of playing this piece of shit game:

 

[sullynathan]

Every other female in the game.

Bioware has been doing that since Mass Effect, you can find general walking animations reused by both genders all the way back in KOTOR and Jade Empire iirc.

 

[Reinhardt]

When all women you see everyday are either trannies or fatties on mobility scooters how would you know how women walk?

 

[luj1]

Romances are pure undiluted decline.

 

[Terra]

Bioware are very SJW, but they still want to attract the "straight white guy" players because they know that's the majority of the market.

See, normally with a business you'd think this would be a fairly solid argument to make, but I actually genuinely do think some of the decision makers at BioWare have taken leave of their senses and believe their own bullshit about who makes up the majority of their market. As described above, the one "straight" option for males was bull-dyked-up since the the previous game and given a disfiguring scar for good measure. The fact that in their next game, ME:A, the straight option was once again a dyke with a buzzcut (with actual dykes wondering wtf was going on and complaining) speaks for itself.

 

[Nihiliste]

BioWare introducing romances to BG2 was like the pandora’s box of eternal decline. Sealed the doom of the company by attracting the worst fanbase of all time.

 

[Jeru]

Bioware are very SJW, but they still want to attract the "straight white guy" players because they know that's the majority of the market.

No. But let's assume for argument sake that they are actually trying to attract such clients - then it seems that they're horribly failing.

Cassandra Pentaghast: a humorless religious zealot with a lesbian haircut and a masculine face, which was much changed from the face she had in DA2 which was quite feminine

Cassandra in DAI was designed specifically to not be attractive

[MajorMace]

She's very well designed then.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I've been watching the "Wha happun?" lists on these companies. Good fucking god EA, bioware and more.... holy fuck! Big companies are just fucking crazy. Soooooo DA3? Meh!

 

[Dodo1610]

I am convinced that Inquisitor was written for a female protagonist the same way Hawke story makes more sense as a man. Even the Inquisitor on the cover looks like more feminine to me. So I would 't be surprised if the standard Inquisitor in DA4 will a woman.
Edit just checked the standard Inquisitor in Dragon Age Keep is already a female human

to support this, when I began the game, female gender was automatically picked
