Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[Camel]

Two people mentioned how it was strange that a Veilguard troon cared more about transitioning and pronouns than a world-ending threat and a war. That's actually par for the course and realistic for the troons. For example, the Ukrainian male troons want to escape the war and a supply of hormones when their country is fighting the existential war against Russia.

Not buying or playing this but I read the spoilers and to say this is a “return to form” for BioWare should be grounds for execution. Holy fuck is everything in DAV revealed as “the elves did it”?

Spoiler

The Black City, the central mystery of the setting? Merely the prison Solas created for the elf gods and the Blight.
The Blight itself? Created by the elf gods after they tranquilized the Titans from the cut off dreams of the Titans.
The Old Gods? FUCKING ELVES AGAIN! Revealed as Horcruxes for the elf gods.
Also Elves are actually spirits taken mortal form!
Andraste was a Mythal host like Flemeth, there is no Maker.

Guess they realized this might be their last game because wtf would they even do with DA5 given they answered all of the major mysteries of the setting in the gayest way possible.

So people in DA:O being racist against elves were right all along?

Yeah that’s the hilarious bit. All the hatred against elves is justified, they are literally to blame for all the bad stuff that’s happened. Troonguard’s main message is “around elves, watch yourselves”.

They learned from Andromeda, which everyone hated.

Now you can't hate on this game without also hating all the extra diversity.

Pretty standard playbook moves from AAA. We've been seeing this for years, but Purpleguard is such a stinker even it's hardcore defender fanbase is abandoning it. Just look at reddit.

That's an eye-opener. What if that was the reason why EA went "make it as inclusive as you want"? It won't turn shit into gold, but may protect a game from some losses when the leftoids include it as a part of their culture war.

Is that why they made all the elves look like this:

We're literally seeing this play out in real time on the internet.

This is tribalism, the game.

Oh wow. They just killed every mystery left in the setting with the same answer.

You could also just lock this thread, you know. Not retardo, just lock it.

Alien: Isolation really is mediocre tho.

 

[damager]

Or we could have never split them. Just change the title.

Somobdy got a bad type of forum OCD or why this splitting and fusing of threads?

Standard practice on the 'dex.

So they nuked the setting of the previous games and either ruined or excluded legacy characters only to go “yeah we’re done here time to move on to mass effect”?

That’s not even incompetence it outright maliciousness.

you realized the nuke was set in DA2 and launched in DA:I, right? Veilguard is just fucking a corpse at this point

 

[Child of Malkav]

Uh, is it just me or he kinda looks like Pompi?

 

[Taxnomore]

Elves being responsible for everything wrong with the world means they're white guys right ?

 

[Lagole Gon]

In their defence, at least they waited 4 games to ruin the setting completely.

Pillars of Banality pornographically flayed off any mystery and mysticism from the setting in the first game!

 

[Lamiosa]

Well....

UUUUUUUUHHHHHH

 

[Konjad]

Standard autism on the 'dex*

It's the only branching decision this game will ever get.
