Dragon Age™: The Veilguard is a Return To Form

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

***** looked like E=MC Vagina.

It's interesting that Dragon Age didn't look gay as hell until after Gayder left.

girldwarfboss looks the nicest/prettiest of the bunch. and that says something because midgets are creepy to me, both irl and in vgames.

And I thought karlach was the ugliest most generic safe horny character design imaginable

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.

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

Anyways,

Dislikes are at 194k.

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.

I'm starting to think these ******** are truly dangerous. Imagine the man willing to go this far just for an easier path in life. Killing children would be nothing to such a creature.

Okay, I can't ******* take this anymore. There's nothing I find more insulting than black and asian elves. Sticking some pointy ears on your character doesn't grant him elven grace if he has unappealing negroid or mongoloid facial features.
Elves are supposed to look white, with sharp narrow faces and very distinct facial features. Asian faces are too round and flat. Black faces are to wide and puffy. There's not a single black or asian elf that doesn't look like a poorly made cosplay. The fact that negro elves have ******* fades makes this even more aggravating. It's like that one video of sheboons "improving" ballet by shaking their blubbery asses. They're either too stupid to get the entire point of the thing (grace and sophisticated beauty) or intentionally ruining it. And I'm not sure which is worse.

The black elves and black dwarves will never not be funny to me. ******* Marxists and libshits can not grasp why black elves and black dwarves do not work. I can write a novels worth of reasons why but I'll keep it short and simple. The reason why they do not work is because they are not human. Elves and dwarves are suppose to be different from humans. Their skin tones, ethnicities, culture and language are suppose to be alien compared to humans. By making black elves and black dwarves you take away the uniqueness of them and make them just another group of humans. I am so sick and tired of this constant push for "representation" everywhere. It doesn't work and it doesn't draw in a minority audience. If anything it makes them less likely to want to see or play something as nobody likes being pander to.

Because the CEO gets a fat paycheck and severance package, having raised the quarterly profits. What he doesn't tell the investors is that he has done so by acquiescing to ESG demands and permanently damaging the company by poisoning the IPs and lacing the workforce with religious zealots and mentally ill child groomers.

The CEO doesn't really care, though, since he'll be long gone by the time the ticking timebomb he created goes off, and his future prospects are tied to his willingness to display piety towards the cult (whether he is a true believer is irrelevant) anyway.

tl;dr - It's ****. It's always ****. It's always been ****. It will always be ****.

I'm starting to think these ******** are truly dangerous.

All the cases of child grooming, rape and murder didn't clue you into the fact that these autogynephiles should be institutionalized and, preferably, shot in the head?

They are the modern equivalent of eunuchs - despised by the general population, with the knowledge that the current power structure is the only reason they're not rounded up and massacred, thus ensuing their total loyalty.

Agreed, but you are missing a fundamental point regarding black skin: in humans, that is a trait developed to protect from the strong sun in Africa where we evolved; as humans moved further north, this protection was not needed and was also actually counterproductive with the shorter days and sun required for vitamin D production, so our skin became lighter - the downside of course being an increased sensitivity to sunburn for example.

Now, take that information and apply it to dwarves, living underground... If anything, they should have even fairer skintones than most humans, barring any magical/divine intervention, like in the case of duergar. Black elves don't make sense either, unless we are talking about elves actually living on hot plains, but we aren't, are we?

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.

I think the guy with the staff in the middle looks alright. The only good one of the bunch.

I hope he is an old mage with a nasal voice that takes no **** from anyone and ****-talks everyone, especially the diversity-and-inclusion "companions", though I know he's probably not and, if he is, he will be made to be weak and the butt of every joke, or emasculated (made "safe") and left in the side-lines of the whole rest of the story after an interesting start, if he even gets that, much like how I feel they emasculated and made Astarion "safe" in Baldur's Gate 3.
I hope they make "heartwrenching" choices to betray your "companions" or make NPCs killable like in Baldur's Gate 3 so, at the very least, there will be a way to clean this game from the inside, yet I doubt it will be the case as the developers said they were too "uncomfortable" or something to do a dark fantasy game.

My condolences to logincrash if you will indeed review this I can barely stand to look at that "Qunari".

[Roguey]

They've said every companion is romanceable and playersexual so that old guy is an aging queen. The Ian McKellen of the group.

[nyxnyx]

every companion is romanceable and playersexual.

the game is obviously little more than a dating sim right now with pretty much everything else taking a backseat, and it's more likely than not a last-minute change spurred by BG3's success - because 'horny companions throwing themselves at the player' is the only lesson some developers have learned from BG3.

I mean, fuckin DA:I had race-specific romance choices.

[fkirenicus]

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

Yes, but if one looks at files (file names) it seems that the latest parts of the game actually may have been created first. For example, area files in the city are called e.g., "ar0xxx.are", while areas earlier in gameplay - but likely later in development - might be called "ar26xx.are" (if memory serves that would be Candlekeep).
I think that may be because of the fact that the city chapters and end game probably was written first, and they needed to be good (which they were, mostly). And they did not know how many areas they would need from the beginning.

Dragon Age: Fortnite

Dragon Age: Dreadful

Dragon Age: Failguard

Any other contenders?

I like that they tried to one-up Halsin's duck whittling thing by having their Black Warden both whittling inside at the strategy meeting table and sitting in a chair he whittled

Gameplay premiere in 7 minutes, gamers!

[Xenich]

Player sexual = character is gay.

Gays and straights are not the same. Either you are gay, or you are not. There is no maybe, sometimes, etc...

All dialogue has to be tailored for a gay character to allow gay progression. A straight character will not have this, will not open to this possibility, will not even entertain it with the same sex and so dialogue will always be as it appears.

This is why every straight player can fall into a "gay trap", because the writer tailors the dialogue to allow for gay influence. A straight player may not think "paying a compliment" or showing male comradery is a path to romance, but a gay player would see this, and since the writers are mostly ****/****** and pro this thinking, all dialogue has the possibility to open into a *** possibility.

The reality is that romance options are for ****, made for ****, tailored by **** to promote *** idealism.

[rusty_shackleford]

"playersexual" means it was written by a woman, because women don't have the concept of sexuality like men do
hth

[TheEmptyRoad]

As one last teaser before the gameplay reveal, they showcased a .gif of a Pride Demon in the new style, saying that the veil is weakening again and these are a powerful enemy you'll face (for those who don't know, this is an enemy type we have fought before) and now, I **** you not, the chat is being spammed with Gay and ***** Pride Flags and shits spouting PRIDE AGE and DRAGON AGE PRIDE. Like...holy **** man, you see a Pride Demon, a literal embodiment of the sin of pride that even this 'diverse' setting has as an obvious and uncompromising ENEMY and think OMG REPRESENTAYSHUN!

**** sake, can I play a Chantry Zealot again? I want to be able to kick out party members I can't stand and kill Demons and Ancient Elven Mages LARPing as Pagan Gods.

Can't we just kill off the main cast like we could with the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2?

[Xenich]

Console trash.

[rusty_shackleford]

Time to ****** of 0, white woman with a black child a minute in, @orinEsque cameo, dragon age 2 dialogue wheel
seems to have taken every bad design choice from RPGs over the past 10 years


bioware left a billion dollar bill sitting on the ground to make this, and larian picked it up.

Eugh, that was so bad.

[rusty_shackleford]

all they did was walk through a hall

the highlight of the video was varric telling the player they put up a barrier to stop them, so the player just walks up to it and hits the barrier causing it to fall apart.

[Oyster Sauce]

[rusty_shackleford]

also I'm guessing it won't even have classes because the main character seemed to be capable of doing everything, is this just an action game with lite RPG elements?
combat looked like AA Spiders jank, very floaty

Don't want to confuse the ******* and ******, you know that simple concepts are difficult for them. All they need is a kill button, a pointer, and lots of gay/animal sex scenes and this game is perfect!

[TheEmptyRoad]

Meh, it was about what I expected. Very Andromeda-y in terms of combat, which is neither a surprise nor particularly bad for me. I'm one of those crazy fucks who actually liked Andromeda's combat.

Player is a "Rogue" so I think it'll keep the Warrior / Rogue / Mage archetypes for what it's worth.
This game looks slightly better than DA:I but just barely..

A lot of biodrones in the chat whining about how awful and negative the community is. Many of them actually have Dragon Age themed names and avatars.. are these people real? Do people unironically like Dragon Age enough to base their online personality around it??? Sad.

How was it like Andromeda?
Andromeda was just frostbite shooty-pooty combat.
