When did they change the name from DA4 to Dread wolf and now to this?
Because everyone is scrambling, no one knows what to do, and the game has probably had the entire plot rearranged multiple times.
I'm just stating the facts.

Can't wait to see the 2016 Trump-esque figure and GamerGate references tbh
This thing is going to be like a time capsule of libtard culture references

Soyllennials have slowly become the thing they always complained about. Out of touch boomers with no clue what's going on.

I really do hate most in my age group, but then again I hate most people anyway. It's like most people aren't even aware of the reality in front of them when they're out in public walking around.

Protected his account after the trailer backlash. This tells me that nobody that worked on this project has faith in it. This game is DOA and I wonder if it will finally dawn on the few remaining Bioware fans that this company is now dead and will probably be shuttered 6 months to a year after this games release.

It's just their usual reaction. Now they can deflect all criticism with the trailer claiming that the game is perfect and toxic gamers are only hating because he is larping as a woman.

Thanks to EA for crawling back to Steam. Now at least we get to see those sweet launch week numbers.

"le bear sex" isn't even on the same level, it's one cringe scene from a well executed game. This is an unmitigated disaster, and nothing can be done to stop it at this point, all you can do is watch.

You can also kill every NPC involved in the bear ******* if you want. Bioware is going to force you to put up with their ******** ****** ******* and you're going to have to like it.

I'd consider it it wasn't for DA2.
If this wasn't in development for a decade they definitely would have gone with a new mass effect instead of a new DA, nobody wants to play DA2 to get a save to import to DA4. ME doesn't have anything even close to how bad DA2 is.

LOL! By the way, Twitter is full of cope right now from Bioware fans saying we should reserve judgement for the gameplay trailer. As if that will save this game.

Save importing, what? Inquisition did away with importing. You had to use a site to manually select your choices from Origins and II.

You can import them to Keep then to Inquisition

and I assume you're going to say it doesn't' have that — it did have that, they removed it.

Why do I have a feeling that the romances in this game are going to make the romances in Baldur's Gate 3 look like Shakespeare. I mean seriously. None of the horny women who play these games for the cringe romances are going to want to romance any of the companions in this game. Given that the games lead director is a ****** I have a sneaking suspicion that the romance scenes in this game are going to make the bear sex scene in BG3 look tame in comparison.

Not me. I was considering of writing something for KA:KT (as a good game) and Sovereign Syndicate (as a bad game).

I have no wish to pay for this steaming pile of ****. :yuck:

Is this what millennial city life is like? A group of people with nothing in common, most of them looking like they don't want to be there, sitting around a table with people they don't like? Why would you put yourself through this? Why is the diversity round table being pushed in media?

I will probably play it, if my mid-range by today's standards PC can handle what is most likely the most unoptimized pile of **** with 350gb of uncompressed .wav audio files and 8K textures.
I have sunk too much hours into the series to not at least check out how this **** show is gonna end.

****, remember how comfy DAO was? Ferelden was full of white folks and you could instantly spot foreigners by their darker skin and funny accents. Not a single chinkoid in sight.
Even DA2 had distinct ethnic groups: the Free Marcher locals all had more tanned skin and red-brown hair, the Fereldans were paler and their hair was black (which included the Fereldan elven clan), the Antivans and Rivainis were dark skinned and obviously foreign. Not a single chinkoid in sight.

But ******* Inquisition dialed the diversity up to 11. There were suddenly the darkest nigs everywhere, established regional demographics be damned. **** the lore, Ferelden and Orlais now look like California. Still, the uppity sheboon mage companion was at least covered by the flimsiest excuse of her being a transfer to Orlais from a northern (which is closer to equator in Dragon Age, so it's warmer) Free Marcher city-state. But the plot important high-ranked Templar son of a Fereldan noble looked like blackest ****** gorilla ****** I have ever seen. The game even has a mixed-raced woman in it, and she does look mixed-raced: lighter skin than her father and whiter facial features. But they just made the son of a ******* Fereldan lord (which would look as white as the medieval English) look like a first generation Somali immigrant.
Image
And that's just on the issue of race. There is so much faggotry (the Tevinter homo, the Qunari spy, the revolting elven **** with droopy tits), and modern writing (the Qunari spy and his pooner lieutenant, and most of all the revolting elven **** with droopy tits). But still, not a single chinkoid in sight.

Now we have not only blacks everywhere, but we've black AND asian elves. Which makes absolutely no ******* sense, given how the established elven genetics work. I ******* hope to God there are modding tools for this game, because I will ******* learn modding just to fix this deliberate disgusting change.

All of that said, I will only play it if I can pirate it. I'm never giving money to BioWare again.

Loved Origins. Knew the series would turn to complete **** as soon as it was revealed that DA2 would take place entirely inside one city. Yet this far exceeds what my expectations were for how bad it could get. This cast of "characters" looks about as dysgenic as a reddit meetup.

Brutally unappealing. Not a single character I would want to look at let alone deal with hearing dialog from. They needed an Astarion type character if they wanted any hope of salvaging this.

not necessarily related to Dragon Age but I just wanted to interject that I really hate the "muh BIG CITY" obsession in some parts of the RPG world.

i find that crpgs with muh big city are usually dragged down by it, not elevated, and even when it's done well it's still not a net positive. Sucks out all the sense of adventure and exploration, plus introduces countless trudging through the same areas and foments talking with NPCs. In fact I'm certain that's why a certain sect of rpg "fans" love muh big city design so much, endless dialog trees and running around doing errands for people.

(and, all that aside, the dungeon possibilities when you're dealing with muh big city are quite limited. Sewer, etc.)

Most recently BG3 fell victim to muh big city with Act 3 being absolutely execrable. MUH BIG CITY MUH BIG CITY MUH BIG CITY **** OFF

I'll qualify this by saying I loathe "muh big city" as the climax to a RPG or JRPG. It can be well-used as a starting or middle act, but these games need to close with a series of increasingly interesting/oppressive locations. Putting a big city at the end (aka Divinity 2/BG3) kills all plot momentum and sense of adventure.

Baldur's Gate (original) left the city to the last act. It was fine then, really.

Yes, I sympathize with this sentiment. For me "hate" is maybe too strong of a word, perhaps... scorn? :scratch:

Anyways,

Dislikes are at 194k. :lol:

Why are mentally ill personas being gifted with positions where they can do irreparable damage to the company?

It seems to me that the quantities of ESG money being given for indoctrination of goyim far surpasses the need of the company to actually turn a profit with game sales.
