Dragon Age™: The Veilguard is a Return To Form

[fkirenicus]

Part of me still can't believe that exists...

I want to watch an entire hour long video of every cutscene done like this. Holy **** this **** is great.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

I’m skeptical on that . Trump won the 2016 election and not by a by a insignificant margin and progressivism has only gotten worse over the years.

Yes, as I said, they got too bold and pushed for change too quickly. Instead of slowly shifting the Overton window, like they've successfully done with gay marriage and interracial marriage before that, they went too hard. The mask slipped and the pendulum has started to swing backwards.

To much is focused on a top down approach from Trump. The institutions that are funding these programs need to address before any semblance of sanity returns to gaming.

Quite frankly if Trump going to tackle such tasks he needs to better job doing in legislation and not executive orders that can be rolled back in the next administration. Hopefully he learned from his previous mistakes but I remain unconvinced he will learn, hopefully I’m wrong.

Hmm. Actually, I think (both) those have been copied from earlier games. At least the last one I am quite sure you can find in Origins.

You are correct. I didn't post an example of the new writing, just a couple of entries I found amusing.

That and he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. He can focus on making the most impact this term.

I didnt take Taash on any missions besides its own, still got a Taash x Harding romance scene...sigh

if only this could have been avoided

Probably, this is the reason - progress of it's own missions. What if it completely ignored? No any kind of missions, no interaction of any kind, let her quests be forever in the journal unaccepted/unresolved.

[Unknown998]

In "Inquisition" I never saw the Dorian x Bull romance. I did both their quests but never took Dorian anywhere so that one could be skipped. I guess Bioware learned from this.....

There is a pop-up that says something along the lines of "Because of your friendship, Taash and Harding have started a relationship." So, my guess is just to avoid Traash like the plague at all times unless the game forces her upon you. There's a particular conversation in which Traash creepily says that Harding smells good and ask you for advice on what gift would be best.
All of that said, I remember somebody mentioned how the devs said that the companions can get together with or without you. So, I guess the only way to save the cute ginger shortstack from an abusive relationship with a ******** low-impulse mentally ill cow is to bite the bullet and romance the cute ginger shortstack yourself.

True, Harding is so far the only redeeming thing about veilguard. Any idea if any of the companions still try to hit on whoever you are dating?
(Neve is also fine so far, haven't heard much that was cause for audible cringing, except maybe her raspy voice and lack of tits)

Gamalytic and VGInsights have both settled on ~600k copies sold on Steam.
https://vginsights.com/game/dragon-age-the-veilguard https://gamalytic.com/game/1845910

Meaning they either haven't broke 1 million copies yet or are just a bit over it depending on how poor PS5 sales are.

[Nooneatall]

It always amazes me how selective real chads can be. They **** on this Veilguard for its wokeness. But they adore Arkane, that woke feminist propaganda with dikes licking each other.

That ain't tales of wells Fargo, hogans heroes, or mash so I haven't seen it.

I hope you guys pirated instead of giving these devs money.

IGN previously gave Veilguard a 9/10, which would imply it's one of the best games ever made.

I never could play this game again after the first time. It saps your will like few things I've ever experienced.

Yes. Neve and Lucanis start a romance if you're not romancing either of them. Multiple people that tried to romance Lucanis said that he still flirts with Neve and that he has more chemistry with her than with the player character.
Neve's character flaw is that she's boring as ****, which is exacerbated by her VA who hilariously sounds like a ******, despite being an actual woman. Physically Neve is ugly by the virtue of being a pajeeta. The hooked nose and soulless black eyes combined with weird almost green in some lighting skin color make her unattractive. She's not as repulsive to look at as Traash, but she's far from being conventionally attractive.

More people playing Project Zomboid than Veilguard on Steam right now.

It's below both Elden Ring and Cyberjunk.

They did not change that 9/10, though, and at the end the article says again: "Thankfully The Veilguard’s launch has seemingly gone well for EA and BioWare, which hopefully means Dragon Age will continue."

But for IGN it does sound as close to an apology as one can get from that "newspaper".

Well, guess they are in for a surprise when BioWare shuts down for good

Trump's interview with Joe Rogan was enlightening on this exact point. He explained how in 2016 he had to appoint a whole legion of all kinds of people. Now that he knows who will stand by him and who will try to snake him, he's more confident his orders will be obeyed, unlike how the traitorous scum outright lied to him and refused to do anything during his first term.
That and he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. He can focus on making the most impact this term.

It was a good interview overall. However his explanation on why he didn’t want to prosecute Hillary was a ******* cop-out. Having your political opponents blatantly doing illegal activities while undermining you at the same, but doing nothing about it when your in the political position to enact a proper response is baffling . It just adds credence on my skepticism on Trump abilities to make lasting policy changes.

Got a feeling he might feel different now that they actually went after him

I'm playing in German so I only know the ****** sounding voice actor from videos and from you.

Neve has a very pleasant voice in the german version. So far everyone has pretty good voices.
