Dragon Age™: The Veilguard is a Return To Form

Wow. The beaches were long since stormed and the invaders already purged the government and installed their puppets there.
He's way behind.

[Acrux]

Well, yes. Purposefully so. He's tried to be a normie for a while.

Grill the enemy or be meat for the grill yourself.

Unironically, a libtard sees anyone saying "games should be escapism and have nothing to do with politics" and said libtard automatically labels this someone a chud.

Just look at Dustborn, the "bad guys" are the ones who literally say such things aloud.

[rusty_shackleford]

I think you have to understand his position. He's right that australia has strict 'hate speech' laws. People there face fines or can possibly go to prison for things like misgendering.

Here's DSP's take on The Veilguard's infamous scenes and Isabella's character changing from the original games. Is this take any good, or just deeply flawed?

He's right. You basically aren't allowed to be mean or rude to so-called "marginalized" people in these games. Another example is Outerworlds, which leads to a hilarious situation because you can't insult the lesbians — the writer stated, and I quote, "I didn't want to make a homophobia simulator."
BUT
The characters are killable, because tim gayn mandated everyone be killable. So you can take your lesbo companion to her lesbo lover, and kill her lover in front of her.

It's actually a really good, evenhanded rundown of all the issues in such a small scene. It goes heavily into the narcissism of ********/libtards and the assumptions they make. Worth watching.
Also, libtards in his chat melting down for most of it.

Going to loosely be like Vergil here for a sec, but why do so many youtubers look like ******* ****? I say this as a guy that looks like ****. But I see this pasty, green-overalls looking **** and I get massive rage and want to destroy civilization/myself all in one go.

I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate your 2 hour breakdown of this reviewer's poor taste and how he missed all this blatant wokeness that was in his face. I don't know how anyone has the power to stomach 2 hours of this, much less praise it. I'm just grateful I have enough brainpower not to be a normie who mindlessly consumes products simply because they are new.

Thank you! The point was that the game is dogshit, even without "noticing" all the woke garbage, the game on its own is just terrible. And the 2 first hours have very little actual gameplay, but the writing itself already sets the stage of the quality you are expecting. I find it extremely hard to believe anyone with an actual independent thought could stomach the first 2 hours and think that this game is actually "fun" and "worth your money and time", unless it was just a grift/shill for money. If the sentiment is truly genuine, then... I just don't know how that can be true.

Looks like I wasn't off by much with my prediction that it won't get "much over 100k" concurrent players as it peaked at 89k, hopefully Troonguard has sold as **** enough for EA to shitcan the whole studio finally.

This is clear evidence we are witnessing China's Cultural Revolution 2.0: these bastards want to redefine and reshape language and use it as a political tool/sledgehammer to remove any opposition. No wonder they are unable to define "woman".
For languages that depend on masculins an feminins (for example, romanic languages such as French and Italian) this is an all-out assault on the very core of their language - and hence, culture.

[The_Mask]

I'm never gonna play this game. lol

[Boontaker]

I'm never gonna play this game. lol

I think the mod projects for BG3 are nearly finalized. Can play that instead

[fkirenicus]

Yes, and I'm dyslexic (and French), so for me these fake words are a real nightmare. I've put an insane amount of time and effort to being able to write properly in French. And these freaks don't care if their stupid language harms us dyslexics. I even had one of them tell me that we were too much of a minority and therefore not important enough... The answer I was given was: “then you can spend another ten years learning our imaginary words, just so you don't hurt our feelings”.

Well, we have been "obliged" to accept these fake words, and I actually risk losing my job if I don't use them. Fortunately, as of yet I haven't had to.
But it is a real threat to basic principles of both romanic and germanic languages, and it is simply revolting that those who really should flag the danger of this - our educational institutions - in fact quite often are those who push this agenda.
We are going from enlightenment to a "how I feel matters more than simple facts in the universe" kind of thinking. Heck, simple biological truths (such as male and female chromosomes) are now "hate speech".
And this is being applauded by UNIVERSITIES - how did we get here??

As my country is in a suicidal speed run, this is perhaps one of the only good things it has done: l'Académie française has declared that this imaginary language is not legitimate, and that we cannot therefore be forced to use it (at least not by law).

We take our victories where we can...

74% positive now, was nearly 80% at one point.

I feel sorry for the guy sitting between them. He probably doesn't even want to be there

are you not clear on what "[Back]" means?

[Nooneatall]

Don't save scum away from this convo, you better be ***** or restart the ******* game from the start.

The game must be played the way it was intended... no go romance that ****** elf!

This is in game, in character? I just woke up from a nap but none of the words are working together for me and I can't comprehend anything being said. Not a joke, it actually hurts trying to read this. Cannot tell if this is something Taash wrote down or a writer's notes on writing ****** characters.

From what I can tell, it's written in the perspective of the character.
At first I thought it was writer's notes too.

Some level of autism is expected when it comes to people who identify as *****, but whoever wrote that is deeply in mentally ******** territory and should not be able to legally consent to sex. I've seen more coherent notes written by CWC in prison.

I completely agree. This reads more like a behind-the-scenes director's notes where they outline a character's traits while keeping them vague in order to allow changes later on if necessary. Even after looking at this dialogue as a conversation between 2 people, it still makes no sense whatsoever.

[rusty_shackleford]

taash is possibly the worst companion in any RPG ever

"heh, ate the food she likes? Better get on your hands and knees to apologize because she's NON BINARY!!!"

She's only made worse by the fact that the developers wrote every scene to cater to her and **** on everyone else while they worship her

I think it's meant to be her notes she wrote for herself, like a therapy thing?

I feel a very physical revulsion when I watch these, or whenever I see how these scum characterise/ write dialogue. Genuine distress.
