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

[alyvain]

Overly flamboyant homo, big black non-human homo, tranny, troglodyke elf, emo homo, rigger, the gayest dwarf there ever was and a faggy bald elf.

wow, you remember them all!

 

[Tyranicon]

I think I have said this before, the highlight of the main villain in DAI was during the attack of the first base, his entrance was great and his voice was great, it gave me chills. Then they turned him into an A grade bitch that fails in all his plans, not once did he win against you after the attack of the first base and he was still considered a threat or something, what a fucking joke.

I especially like how he sat on his ass despite knowing where you were the entire time.

 

[toro]

^ There aren't so many homos in the game, lol. Also, is Varric the gayest dwarf ever? Why? ;d

I feel blessed not knowing who this Varric character is

 

[Lacrymas]

Varric is one of Bioware's better characters, though.

 

[Tyranicon]

Varric is one of Bioware's better characters, though.

I would say he's not horrible, but if I was going to make a character the face of the franchise, it wouldn't be a beardless dwarf.

 

[Dycedarg]

I see some people actually enjoyed Inquisition's writing, including the main villain. For me Corypheus, just like most of the game's cast, fell flat as a character. His motivation for doing what he did seemed like an afterthought, which made most of DAI's plot look an excuse for the game's underwhelming battles.

In contrast, the Baldur's Gate series had competently written antagonists. In BG2, for example, you ended up understanding why Irenicus did what he did, even though he acted like a sociopath. The same thing stands for Sarevok in BG1.

 

[Lacrymas]

DA:I is a romance visual novel with non-optional battles in between. The best option of them all, however, i.e. Varric, isn't *available*, so just burn it down.

 

[Dycedarg]

Varric is one of Bioware's better characters, though.

Are you talking about Varric in DA2 or in DAI?

 

[Lacrymas]

I haven't really played DA:I apart from a few hours when I pirated it at release, so I'm not exactly sure whether he's different. I'm more basing my opinion on DA2. I like that he's a caring person without being cynical or overly saccharine about it and can even be charming and witty when he wants to.

Comic book Varric

 

[Dycedarg]

That's fair. I think Varric's interactions with Cassandra were actually pretty good in the second game. A shame both of them suck in DAI.

 

[Lacrymas]

Oh, I actually also like Isabela, funnily enough. Half of DA2's cast was pretty solid when I think about it. The other half ...not so much.

She's also not bad. The emo elf on the other hand...

 

[Lacrymas]

Merrill, Sebastian, and Fenris were the worst, followed by Bethany and Carver (who were just boring). Everyone else is pretty good, even though Anders was retconned into a different person, but I like both his versions.

 

[vortex]

Judging the trailer DA4 won't emphasize on romances but on the world and reactivity of your character.

The big city could have tavern where you could pick up girls/NPC for smooches. Though I won't do that, I'm all for the danger and adventures.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

I just bought myself DA:I for Christmas. Wish me luck, everybody - I think six years is long enough to hold out and it is the season for forgiveness.

You are part of the problem.

"If you dislike those games,why are you bitching about it here? "

It is the fukkin' Codex. Are you fukkin' stupid?

There's nothing surprising about people who shit on games here, but when it's the vast majority of someone's output, it makes me think they're a retard and a complete black hole of a person.

Naturally, this leads to criticism of their posts and/or mockery of them as humans.

 

[DalekFlay]

Uh...

[alyvain]

you ended up understanding why Irenicus did what he did

so... why?

 

[Tyranicon]

so... why?

Emo elf things.

 

[Lacrymas]

^ clears everything right up.

 

[alyvain]

Emo elf things.

that's what I remember, yes, even though I've played BGII many times.

I'm not sure about Corypheus, but wasn't he a megalomaniac priest who wanted to reach gods, found nothing and decided to become a god himself because now the world is nothing as it used to be? How's that more vague than an elf being emo?

 

[Dycedarg]

so... why?

In Irenicus' case, the punishment he received from the elves made him unable to feel any emotion. That's why he decided to experiment on other elves: to see what they had that he was lacking. It's also why he imprisoned the nymphs, to see if they could spark any kind of reaction in himself. His ultimate solution was to rob you of your soul in other to restore his. It's also why I called him a sociopath: the curse put on him made him even less empathetic, therefore worse.

As for Corypheus, he doesn't even seem like a proper character. The point of most of his actions is only to advance Inquisition's plot, the little there is.
