Dragon Age: The Veilguard - A woke disaster? Yep!

[LovisXVI]

Those poor fuckers at EA are desperate to make this thing sell.

Not hard enough if they're making Morrigan flatter than a pancake.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

The one clear shot of the troon qunari in the trailer has her face mostly covered in shadows. That's hilarious -- even EA knows how hideous and off-putting that character looks.

Given Morrigan's wardrobe update, I wonder if they're trying to make her into the new Flemeth.

Definitely. The headpiece is very similar to both Flemeth's headpiece and the stylized depictions of Mythal, and the shoulder pieces are reminiscent of the glimpse we have in the gameplay trailer of Elgar'nan. I would guess that Flemeth successfully transferred the essence of Mythal to her before Solas ganked her.

Man, I wish I still cared.

 

[Rick The Stick]

Morrigan without The Warden yet again. And on top of that, they busted her up even more than Inquisition. Why bros?

 

[NPZCC]

I'd wager the very first trailer they put out, the one that everyone hated, ends up being the most accurate representation of the final game.

New trailer

It's not even out and it still looks dated and crude. It's got all the """next gen""" shit that gives it muh realism (and a 10000GB install), but the scuffed animations make everything look out of place and unnatural. Not to mention, makes it look utterly indistinguishable from the dozens of other AA/AAA wokeslop games that have come out, and probably plays utterly indistinguishably too, because its not even an RPG it's just the usual hack-and-slash action game with a skill tree we've seen for years now.
Literally nothing in that trailer says Dragon Age and if it weren't for the returning characters (just fucking stop with this shit already) and the literal exact same high dragon model from Inquisition, you could easily say this was any other game.

The other thing I noticed is the baby Griffon, which is definitely just pandering to women and redditors.
"OMG A HECKIN QUIRKY CUTERINO ANIMAL COMPANION WHO IS BAD ASS AND FIGHTS!!".

PLEASE just put the series down.

Why is she wearing two bras with an additional bra over her bellybutton?

She also grew two to three jaw sizes since her Origin days.

She accidentally magically merged with something that has a larger number of nipples, as well as nipple distribution similar to that of a dog.

2 bras when there's nothing to cover. It's a twink body.

She will come out as "Non-Binary".

Why does Rook have the skintone of a poojeet or a camel fucker?

The HoF is never coming back. Because they’d have to do something like six or seven character animations with different voice actors.

(actually like 12 animations give there are six origins and they can be male or female).

Tevinter is India and Africa now. Some time after Inquisition the guy who made Dorian said he was supposed to be Indian/Middle-Eastern (despite being pretty white in game). So I guess they ran with that, maybe also in the extraneous media like the books or the TTRPG.

 

[Male Idiot]

So Tevinter is India, why do they use blood magic and not poo magic? I bet it would be easy to recolour the fx....

 

[Ishtar]

Tevinter ideally should be Byzantine or Greek/Italianish. Given its a pastiche of the eastern Roman Empire.

I expect Tevinters in the game will be ethnically mixed to the point you can’t even discern what they code for.

Is this because Dorian's voice actor is South Asian by heritage? Are they that fucking shallow?

Why bros?

The warden could be any kind of character and has no voice. An actual RPG protagonist would take a ton of work to put in the game and not have it feel at odds with someone's very specific playthrough. I consider it a blessing, personally.

Morrigan, I could have sworn they said she wouldn't be in this, so I guess someone at EA saw the misfire and demanded more fan service.

I'd wager the very first trailer they put out, the one that everyone hated, ends up being the most accurate representation of the final game.

There is no removing the homosexual elements or sandpapering off all the Marvel whedon quips at this stage of development. Their only move is to try and highlight a couple of the more action focused or darker points of the game and hope people don't pay attention to the rest before the game comes out.

They also haven't shown the quirky fat Asian elf Veil Hunter or whatever girl in the marketing and the troonari barely gets a glance.

Tevinter ideally should be Byzantine or Greek/Italianish. Given its a pastiche of the eastern Roman Empire.

They won't even have a historical backdrop for their visual design. For some reason, Tevinter is a violet Cyberpunk sprawl. Imagine going to Tevinter in Dragon Age Origins and seeing giant magitech robots and neon lights everywhere. It makes no fucking sense.

Magic is now just colourful neon lights and an excuse to make a sci-fi setting with ugly androgynous clothing. It's no coincidence that all of those things are loved by trannies and that the director is a hideous troon.

 

[Ishtar]

Claudia Black(Morrigan’s VA) said she wasn’t coming back but that was in 2022. So either she was lying under NDA or she got brought in relatively late.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Morrigan has a bit role in the game. Maybe tying off the old god baby plot or something to do with Flemeth.

But yeah the trailer feels desperate.

 

[Rick The Stick]

It just tickles me how hard these people fucked themselves almost immediately after Origins.

Have they announced any DLC? EA usually shove that in your face near launch so you pick up the ultimate edition. If no DLC this game is being shipped just to be scuttled.

Watch the $99 ultimate edition give access to an uglier alternate Morrigan, the "idiot retard's box of crap that'll be obsolete after one hour of playtime", a 30 minute xp booster, and a set of neon purple weapon skins.

Nothing official, but it's been rumored that Solas's story will (again) be wrapped up in DLC. Also, the game's setup -- only having two of the elven gods as antagonists when there are at least five more trapped in whatever prison Solas built for them, plus the Forgotten Ones if they want to do something with them -- makes the path of future DLC pretty easy to predict.

Note that it was only after Andromeda flopped that the quarian ark DLC (something made very obvious in the game's storyline) was shitcanned.
