Dragon Age Dragon Age: The Veilguard Thread

[Xorazm]

The storyline of my next rpg will be an isekia.

It’s about time EA brought Ultima back. Or Nox.

Oh dear god no. I shudder to think what the eight virtues would be now, and how many would involve barving.

 

[Decado]

Notice how nobody is talking about Dragon Age 5. It's all about the next Mass Effect. And no DLC, which is almost unheard of for a modern, single-player game.

Kind of same thing with BG3. In the first 2 hours you get tadpoles, illithiads, githanki, demons, space ship, a dragon, druids, tieflings, evil cult etc. Modern devs just can not write a good, coherent story and believable characters. It's that simple. I mean even IWD that focused mostly on combat had much better writing and plot then nowadays garbage.

And the sad thing is that you can do that and still have a normal "character building" arc. Just pull a in media res, show all the cool shit and power you eventually get and the do the "and this is how we got there".

Unfortunately the modern audience wants the instant gratification. Especially RPGs suffer from this, as you can't have a high stakes choices & consequences without first building up the stakes. You need the foreplay. The world needs saving, but why the fuck do I want to save this world in the first place?

saving the world is the worst story you can come up with anyway

Here is a fresh hook for the modern nihilists:

You are a powerful wizard/knight/prince who gets betrayed and left for dead. You come back to exact revenge on your traitors. This conspirator group can include your fiancee/wife for extra edge potential.

The John Wick of RPGs, guaranteed to sell millions of copies and cause copious amount of butthurt.

so blood omen?

We are already living in Ultima 5 society.

They should make one that can't talk, that would be a good disability to represent

when i messed with kotc2 module creation i had an idea to make main character kinda like that nigga from shogun - basically he has no idea and honestly don't care what locals are saying so his only reactions to their actions are annoyed grunts or extreme violence.
i just don't want to be bothered to write some shitty lore.

Is it possible to kill all the companions? They seem all equally awful, that elven gook still gives chill down my spine.

It's not possible to kill anything that isn't a monster attacking you.

However if you ignore companion quests they will all die in the final 'suicide mission' and you get a bad ending.

I think it's worth it.

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

Regarding C point, I had discussion with a friend of mine, both of us are not Americans but his point is how Americans push to diversity in media are only limited to LGBTQ and nothing else, because white people can be gay so that why they will push for a lot of representation for gay people unlike pushing for other minorities, like how there very few movies/TV shows and games where the main lead is east asian, south asian or Latin amercian even though percentage wise they are bigger population compared to trasngender people.

I must have fever dreamed Black Panther one and 2 and all of the race swaps that have been happening (like the Little Mermaid).

Either that or you and your friend haven't been paying attention.

didn't even know Black Panther 2 was a thing, but you are right probably should have included black people because they are second biggest group in USA and their community is overall more active in these things but the rest is true, there a lot more gay representation than other races at least in videogames, there a lot more gay characters in video games compared to both east and south Asian combined, on reddit asian laughed that ubisoft would rather include black Samurai than to have asian male lead.

I think it's worth it.

lolwut. you have to play this shit first. NOTHING can compensate this.

 

[thesecret1]

That would be spics. Nigs are only 13%

To be fair, they already said the game wasn't going to have DLC, long time ago before the game launched.

 

[Reinhardt]

actually latinos are bigger group. that you think niggers are actually bigger group is proof propaganda works.

Yes, but Ryzer is allegedly playing Veilguard. I'm just suggesting the less terrible solution to an already shitty situation.

Most likely their sales projections were below the level of profitability, so they decided not to invest more into an expected failure.

This is already below BG3 in the Steam global top sales chart btw

Are you joking? He's gonna finish every companion side quest.

I'm sure he'll 100% Veilguard before moving to Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

There are whole thriving movie industries in many of those Asian countries. It’s partly what’s so fucking stupid when some Asian actor is promoting some project and they start going on about how growing up they never saw people like them in movies or on television. Like, if you’re an American under the age of 70, you probably grew up watching movies from Asian country. It’s like: Oh really, you grew up in the ‘90s and 2000s when Jackie Chan and Jet Li were hugely famous in America, you grew up in a time when dubbed Godzilla movies played on TV a whole fucking lot... and you expect me to believe you never say anyone that looked like you?

Because of Netflix, you’ve also got an American studio now funding projects from all over the world. Like Squid Games is technically an American studio production.

A good deal of video games are also produced by those Asian country too. I mean video games are full of Asian characters. In comparison to movies and television it’s even more a non issue since the video game industry has alway been a more international business.

Anyways, movies and shows that push LGBT stuff most likely aren’t doing it to appeal specifically to that audience, they’re more likely doing it to appeal to the larger audience of progressives who are most likely also a bunch of straight white people. It’s probably also why all that shit more often than not feels shoehorned in now as opposed to when you had movies and shows with gay characters in the ‘90s and 2000s.

BG3 is being sold at a 20% discount.
I think in order to compete EA needs to counter with a 40% discount. This may be a winning strategy. 60% would be a certain triumph.

Yeah, to think BG3 came so close to being THE 1st BARVE instead if they had kept Karlach a tranny as they oh so obviously initially meant.

 

[Joyvankek]

So. Dragon Age: online when?

They wanted to make Wokeguard a live service. But the idea was scrapped and we got well... This.

I just keep dunking on flopguard fellow chud bros!

There still was woke shit in BG3 and it also had no breast slider.
At least I could get rid off companions I didn't like, like putting a stake thru the faggot discount vampire hearth.
Nevertheless it's annoying that I had to download mods to remove alphabets from later acts, since the further you got the worse it got.
If a studio want's to include disgusting shit in their product, at least give us a switch to toggle that crap off.
Even porn game devs figured it out, and yet big dev studios can't?
Then again it wouldn't be a propaganda if it wasn't forced on us, now wouldn't it?

Where did you get the idea? Karlach look like stereotypical barbarian.
