Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[Raghar]

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”.

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

Wasn't one of defining skin characteristic of elves that they didn't need to use skin melanin to protect themselves from sun?

Frankly wasn't most of stuff Chantry said in DA:O implied to be total bullshit of morons that are scared about mages?

Seeing lesbos fuck is more straight than seeing straight couple fuck?

Obviously. As a man when you see two women, then you have 100% more to look at than when you have a man and a woman. It only gets better if you can actively participate. I presume it is the same thing with women watching gay porn.

I'm not going to argue this. I think it's funny but I do believe it breeds more degeneracy.
What I know from women that read yaoi is that they self insert as one of the men. There is always the guy that takes it after all.
Do you self insert yourself as one of the lesbians?

"...at some point if you're sufficiently different than the IP that you're using, not only are you gaining no benefit from the IP, you're actually getting detriment, because what you're going to do is bring in nobody. If you make a Star Wars game that is set in a magical world of talking ponies, you are not gaining the benefit of your Star Wars IP, and you are radicalizing the existing Star Wars community against your property."

This is a former Bioware executive producer who worked on Dragon Age: Origins, and recently returned as a consultant.

They have no excuses. They should have fully anticipated all the hate they're getting now.

The main outlier was everything related to the Temple of sacred ashes.

Even if you could dismiss the guardian as a spirit larping, the ashes were legit. Good enough even to retcon leliana's death if you killed her.
So if Andraste was a vessel for elf god rather then a saint, then it implies you can grind Flemeth or Solas bodies into powder to turn it into miracle medicine.

It's hitlerious how this game has a literal spirit world that tons of people can visit (sometimes physically), and yet the existence of an afterlife is still never confirmed and made less and less plausible with each entry.

Any time they want to do "here's a ghost of this person who died" they explain it away as a "spirit" that came to impersonate that person, and not their actual soul. The spirit Popess in Cisquisition was a spirit who for no reason whatsoever assumed the exact personality and appearance of the dead Popess, Cole is a spirit who assumed the likeness of the real Cole who died long ago in a templar prison, now Turdguard has an illusory Varrick.

They want to have their ghosts and eat their atheism too. Exact same bullshit as AI replacements of dead people in sci fi settins. Worst of both worlds. Can't let people who passed away rest in peace, and can't let them be real after death either. I hate these woke turds so much. Would it kill you to just say "yes, people who die have souls that survive the death of the body, and sometimes their souls stay behind in the spirit world until they fulfill their purpose"? No, coz you gotta make sure everything is kosher with atheistards and materialfags.

At least they didn't go with "the Maker is just Elgarnan and now you must kill him". I think.

DA:O had a maybe yes, maybe no setup with the game leaning towards to yes due to the existence of the Sacred Ashes, the guardian spirit, and a few other details.

Every game since of course has done it's best to say "no" but if you got no from Origins, then you weren't paying attention.

 

[kapisi]

OK, real talk.

Is this the first (only?) fantasy game with no greatswords?

This should be obvious to all but the most severely retarded. You don't need consultants to tell you that. They knew what they were doing and did it purposefully.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Lately I've been following several Veilguard threads on ResetEra with morbid curiosity, to see how it finally dawns on them that the game fails. My newest finding:

The user reviews on Steam have surprised me. I expected them to go up with time (as there was a review bombing during the game's release), but they are going down.

How bizarre!

 

[Lagole Gon]

Clearly, Bioware took inspiration from Planet Escape: Tournament and subverted our expectations by not including greatswords.

 

[Pathfinder: WoTR]

Yikes, Agathoth from age of decadence really let himself go

 

[Warrax]

This should be obvious to all but the most severely retarded. You don't need consultants to tell you that. They knew what they were doing and did it purposefully.

Darrah says in the comments that EA has always pressured Bioware to make Dragon Age more "mainstream". It may be they were forced to marvelize the game a bit, but they didn't have to go full-retard.

Is EA in the room with us right now?

 

[Crispy]

Depressing, certainly, but once in a while you do find a little nugget of wisdom on the Steam forums:

 

[kigmathelm]

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?

Is that Biowares version of Nazis were right?

 

[AwesomeButton]

Seeing a lot of dudes create women characters. Do guys normally do this in RPGs and romance the men?

Noooo don't start it! It's even worse than the 'what is an rpg' discussion!

I stepped in the shit and didn't realize it. My bad.

I just don't understand the logic. You either romance dudes (you're a faggot) or you romance other women (you approve faggotry). It's a lose lose choice IMO.

Or we prefer to watch a woman's behind on our screen instead of a man's. I do at least.

Also, do you mean to tell me that you care about romancing characters in RPGs?

 

[Lord_Potato]

Me: I don't care about representation in rpgs. I can play any type of character (sex, skin color etc) as long as it's fun.

The usual retard brigade: No no you need to play as a white dude everytime or you're gay!!!!!!!11111

It seems for some of you it really matters a lot to see yourself in the game. Exactly like for trans people

You should see what they are doing to Castlevania.

 

[Cael]

I still hate baldurs gate 3 just as much as I did when I first heard about it and saw the cast of homos and uggos and no matter how bad it gets, I pledge to keep hating it with all of the strength I have in my heart for the rest of my life.

Son, you're gonna have a heartattack with DAV, then...

 

[Haba]

Why not both?

Think about it. You get to watch a woman's behind (in totally straight way!) AND
you still get to fuck hot bitches!

Doubleplusgood! Dickgirls for everybody!

Apparently once a quarter at Bioware there's a mandatory EA Town Hall that everyone has to attend, where they listen to some middle-aged lady lecture about checking privilege and DEI.

 

[Xorazm]

I don't want to spoil it. You have to see it for yourself. Timestamped for your convenience.

It's been days - days - that we've been mining this game for cringe. Eventually you think the well is dry but this thing goes all the way down to bedrock.

Depressing, certainly, but once in a while you do find a little nugget of wisdom on the Steam forums:

Still skirting the issue, which is that there is no such thing as transgenderism.

First, your perception of yourself, even if i were to actually believe you are a man trapped in a woman's body, which in most cases i don't (and i would consider it abnormal even if it was true), is not reality. Thus the first fallacy is this idea that your subjectivity defines objective reality in some way. "I feel" is not a conclusive argument for what is or isn't. The fact you "feel" that you are a cat doesn't mean that you actually are a cat and i don't want any of that shit to be normalized in society.

Second, modern science is not anywhere near advanced enough to actually alter the physical sex of a person. Surgery doesn't turn you into the opposite sex, it just makes you into a mutilated freak and i'm under no obligation to accept this transhumanist shit.

It would be one thing if we lived in a world of magic where you could turn into the opposite sex by casting a spell, but we don't. This is all the more evil considering they want to subject children to this insanity.

So for me this trans crap being accepted by society is the highest form of Orwellian, dystopian evil you can think of, and while i generally tend to hate the sin and not the sinner, if you are at all trying to normalize this shit yes, i'm actually gonna hate you as well. You are fostering evil on society, am i supposed to look at that with sympathy and understanding?

It would be one thing if you were just doing your thing and merely ask not to be bothered, but that isn't what's actually happening, is it? You are trying to force your deviated world view on society and that makes you an enemy in my view.
