I do believe it's important to note that the libtards are already starting to demoralize themselves with their own failures, reagrdless of how "big" a game company is.

Here is the full article if anyone is curious: https://www.thegamer.com/video-game-dev ... -industry/

Which is both funny and ironic since their goal was always to demoralize us. lmfao
libtards are convinced (non-gacha/non-mobile) games make significantly more money than they actually do.
There are even some gacha games who seem more successful than they actually are. They might bring in a lot of money, but the amount of recurring ad cost required is insane.

I think that, in the weird event that this game becomes commercially successful, the only thing that will happen is that it will encourage normal people to make mods that fix it in order to spite the libtards, just like how the commercial success of BG3 eventually led to the creation of No Alphabets since I doubt that it would have the traction it has now if not for how popular BG3 became.
Like Starfield, there is no way to mod this game to fix it.
The rot is all the way through.
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

I've never seen a mod that fixes a game which is fundamentally not fun to begin with. The closest would be something like Enderal, but that's just a new game in the same engine.

[edit]

Actually, Gothic 3 might come close. But it took them releasing the source code of the game to a motivated community.

globalism has gotten to the point where it's impossible for agenda products to flop because they just print out more money to promote them and normie cattle whose lives revolve around video game as a primary hobby will always get the game so they aren't the odd one out of their discord friend group
Suicide Squad, Avengers, that Isekai game about a sheboon - all of them flopped spectacularly.
I think you're being blackpilled. Whether that's just sad or a deliberate demoralization tactic remains to be seen, mr. Schizoid1488, if that even is your real name.

Ded gaem.

It's modern year BioWare. Does anyone have faith in this studio? They're catering super hard to their dating sim fanbase because they know everyone else has given up on them.

In case anyone is insane enough to still hold out hope for this mess: the game forces you to change up your party regularly in some fashion.

Bioware apparently noticed that people stick with the same two or three characters throughout the game and ignore the rest. Since these ******** ***** feel the need to control the way you play the game, Failguard will force you to include characters you're ignoring.

You will include the obnoxious diversity hires in your party and like them **** it!

I lack words to express what I mean, but can everyone else see that face they make/the facial structure similarity with all these "allies"? They look the same in every media and have that same "low brows, set eyes, resting ***** face expression" that seems to be made to have them look at you (and the enemy) in a certain way. I would say judgmental, but that is not quite it, it feels more like a poor attempt at making something heroic and impactful but that lacks real sentiment and just holds negativity. Women also at times, especially in live media, have an obnoxious smirk and a bit of a duck-face.
- Here to show my support for normal gaming.

Thank you for existing! :bounce:

Depends on what exactly you mean by based, but I think anything that affirms monarchy, hierarchy, religion, traditional Christian morals, and cultural and ethnic unity would be well received. If you mean 'gas the ***** ******** now', it would certainly have an enthusiastic demographic, but I doubt the normalfags would be into it, except, perhaps, ironically.

I liked when Final Fantasy VI did this. If it is for "plot point" or diversity reasons it will suck. If it is for gameplay reasons, such as encounters that are more interesting due to unconventional party make up, then it's a good design choice. I fully expect it will be the former reason, but mixing up the party composition is not inherently bad.

They probably just don't want you to miss out on any of their witty dialogue. Seems like a symptom of the nudev ideal that the player must experience everything in a single playthrough.

I agree in principle but with the way Bioware worded and justified their decision they won't use these restrictions for plot reasons. Do you know how I know this? Outside of the fact that the lead is a ****** of course.

The very first Dragon Age already had sections with character select forcing. Most notably the section in Fort Drakon where you rescue yourself and Alistair if you got captured. They'd hardly need to announce something that's already been part of the game series since the beginning.

Edit: Jesus Christ the person interviewed was literally the diversity hire lead.

No minorities. No women in armour. Maybe something like the human elf ******** of the alessian slave revolt in TES lore as the backdrop.

Make a sane game with sane people that you hired because of their credentials.

Write a normal 7/10 plot about adventuring in a medieval fantasy world.

Make attractive characters, not ugly abominations.

Have a decent art style that doesn't look like an incest child between Valorant and Fortnite.

That's it. I've just given you the magic formula to making a best-selling RPG.

There's an active BioWare psyop to get the Straight White Male Gamer ™® to lust after brown women. There's a reason why they made Isabela so much hotter compared to Merrill, Josephine compared to manjaw cavewoman Cassandra, and now Neve compared to the stocky fat dwarf femcel. TOTAL WHITE WOMAN DEATH is BioWare approved.
