Another thing: I absolutely ******* despise magic as technology. The materialist maggots who wrote this game have reduced everything to some kind of science yet unknown, replete with mechanization, computation and industry, where magical energy is basically just ******* electricity. You spend half the game picking up "power crystals" to place in receptacles so you can lower the ******* forcefield that's keeping you from advancing down the next leg of the corridor.

It's like they're adverse to anything being genuinely cool, mystical or mysterious. No, it all has to be something the autistic ***** elf can "fix" or engineer somehow.
Personally, I don't think that the concept of combining magic and science in a fantasy setting - somethin that is called "Aetherpunk" I think - is inherently bad, is just hasn't really been done properly yet by anyone who genuinely likes the concept and wants to put actual effort into it.

By the way you describe things, this game simply uses magi-tech as a skinsuit for "fantasy scifi" which I agree that sounds incredibly dumb and uninspired.

Glad the tag "LGBT" is still there in the game description.
Of course the tag is still there, EA/Bioware would rather have a gigaflop in their hands than lose their "ally status". lol

I hate this game.
Did a quest for the cripple mage. The baddies at the end of the quest were a blond blue-eyed mage and his rich dad. Oh, and a high ranking Templar. While the cripple mage and her sheboon friend were correct from the get go.
The ***** elf makes me want to kill myself. It's like somebody took every single quirky nerdy stereotype and mashed it into a shovel-faced knife-ear.
Tried out every class. Surprisingly, the warrior is the least **** out of the three. The rogue has to be in melee constantly which, considering how awful the melee combat feedback is, sucks ****. The warrior can just throw his shield around a la Captain America. So, I am playing a blond blue eyed no-nonsense Grey Warden to counterbalance all the ******** faggy ********* everywhere.

How is the Rook voice actor? Varric and Solas seem to have good voice acting seeing as they seem to be professionals and not some weird people.
I'm playing with a Bri'ish male VA. He's alright. Sounds like a drooling ****** at times, but that just might be the writing.

Nah, there were plenty of bugs in there. I played it on release and it was everything from crashes, to audio issues, to graphics bugging out, to AI ******** itself. No idea if it even fixed by now.

It comes from an expression that Tolkien wrote on his books describing how Evil is unable to create new original things like Good can, thus Evil can only obtain things by corrupting what Good has created.

Number of support requests per day still increasing.
Selection_015.webp
The big peak is monkegame if you wanted a comparison to return requests for one of the best selling games on steam. This is abnormal.


Not going to jump to any conclusions, but that would be a significant chunk of total copies sold being refunded if it's due to veilguard.

There's no such thing as 'marginalizing'. You're marginalized for a reason: either your beliefs/actions repulse the majority, or the majority just don't share them. According to the principles of democracy, the majority rules and the minority should listen to them. Not the opposite. It's not rocket science.
"Muh Sexism", which is just woke morons crying about stuff like guys being attracted to hot girls or criticizing women for acting immorally, is completely normal. And we shouldn't do anything about it.
Woke stuff ain't normal at all. The reality is that the world, the developers, and regular folks don't owe a dam thing to wokies. The sooner they catch on to that, the better it will be for them. Because their ridiculous arrogance is going to run into a far more real and tangible reaction from the majority that they just ain't prepared to handle.

That’s a good question.Mainly because I want to see the conclusion of this series since it’s clearly going to be the last one.

Yeah, I am more apt to believe those are somewhat accurate. Especially for a game where it would hate itself if it could see itself in the mirror.

I agree. I love this setting/lore; I've played DA:O/DA:A since 2009, and had hoped for a more dignified end to this than NonbinaryGuard has turned out to be.
Well, Origins is still more than playable.

Steam reviews are more trustworthy than a review site that doesn't have any sort of purchase/playtime verification.
77k people played it on Steam day 1, and even more people are playing it today. The ******* who bought this game obviously don't hate it.

I've never wanted a game to fail so bad so Bioware will finally go. I just want games to be good again and stop worrying upsetting little snowflakes that are offended by everything. Some of the best moments in games have been those that upset you. Creating complelling stories need drama. I have several friends that are hot and that's just how they were born but they are the bad girls now. The hypocrisy by moronic woke and DEI idiots is disgusting. They are just as evil as those they condemn. Idiots who don't even like the game are buying it so they can feel special.

There are a lot of soyboys with a weird consumerist mindset. This is expected from people who buy a separate proprietary device from corpos just for gaming. And usually, console players are less media and tech literate than PC players. But the numbers from X-boxtards were still surprising. 31% positive? Are you serious?

That particular post is a copy-paste that clown users use to jester-farm Steam reactions.

I know because both Black Myth Wukong and Space Marine II had similar posts in their respective Steam forums, and I mean truly 100% identical as in the very same word-for-word. The only difference is the username.
