That's good but again it's 2021 bioware..

 

[ADL]

It was "planned" to be multiplayer or they were developing it as a GaaS title for the past couple years? I thought this was well into development meaning this is a complete design pivot. Not that it needed to be said, but it's gonna be a mess.

And as such we can expect more single player MMO tier gameplay akin to DAI.

 

[Riddler]

Seems to me that there has been the usual BioWare development hell.

Restarted development, leads coming and going, now this "pivot"... Not exactly smooth sailing towards some grand vision.

 

[Terra]

How many times has this game flip-flopped between live service and something else now. Gonna be another mess that's crudely massaged into MMO-like shite just like DAI was. Prepare your herb-gathering baskets now, gentlexirs, there's so much quality questin' to do in this "single player rpg"!

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Haven't played Andromeda and I'm probably going to skip this as well. I heavily doubt that current year BioWare could do justice to Tevinter, slaver societies being problematic and all.

This shit will never work unless designed as a SP game from the get go. Same shit with Amalur and others..once you make a game with MMO grindan in mind, you can't just disable it and somehow the rest of the game will be SP.

I remember playing Origins and thinking how dope it'd be to see Tevinter...

[Alienman]

Please let games as a service die.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

IIRC Tevinter is supposed to be a very powerful fascist-like state run by "magisters" (mages). They also shun homosexuality and degeneracy in general...

Rest assured that woke Biotrash is going to retcon that.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Either that or not let you side with the Tevinter authorities since from Bioware's perspective clearly nobody would be interested in roleplaying that way.

 

[Nephilim]

It seems Anthem really had a purpose after all. Bioware has pissed away so much EA money with games like ME:Andromeda and Anthem. I'm surprised they still keep that studio open.
Most studios in EA's graveyard have been sacrificed for less.

Some Dragon Age cosplay.

They will be the main protagonist,you will be siding with the muslim generates that have orgies.

I usually dislike cosplay, but that's actually really good tbh. She obviously put a ton of effort in.

 

[fantadomat]

a ton of effort

Yeahhh sure,a lot of effort.

Yeahhh sure,a lot of effort.

Was expecting some barechested photos as well in your original post. Oh well.

You have no idea. Russian girls make some crazy cosplay stuff. Russian gaming media publish it regularly. This one is from this article. Photos don't need translation. It's Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, TLOU.

Remember how you could give Fenris over to slavers in DA2? And now that we're actually in Tevinter they won't let us make decisions like that.

Or imagine them letting you side with a character as deplorable as Branka was in DAO.

Oh yeah man she uh... put in... lots of uhghghhh... lot of effort... yeah I... I like effort.

Fuck you talking about commie boy? Branka was based and redpilled.

I had a friend who worked at EA. He discussed with the guy behind Dungeon Keeper: the mobile garbage game, and the guy told him they should just push the limit (of the mik-o-meter), because this IP was so strong. It turned out pretty well indeed....
A few years later, he was trying to convince the guy in charge of Star Wars Battlefront 2 that paywalling Darth Vader was a big No, but the guy wouldn't listen, which led us to the lootbox disaster.

Bottom line is that it is not only the top management who is at fault at EA. Many of the product managers seem to be into abusing their fanbase...
That said, it works similarly in most big companies that reached the "bureaucratic stage". Upper management is so craven that it will say yes to any unreasonable demand from the top management, regardless of the long term damage for the company, or sometimes, even the feasability of the demand.

Ahhh it is only natural,corporation do tend to fall apart after a few cycles of management changes. They become very rigid and stagnate because the top guys get there not because passion or skills but because of greed and ass slurping.

And to think they fired Mike Laidlaw and canned his game a couple years ago in favor of a live service game... only to make a complete reversal again?

EA needs to pull the plug on itself already.
