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

[Third World Aristocrat]

Isabela, I don't know what kind of blood magic you've done from Origins to DA2, but you should do it again.

 

[gay]

Ironically, with the fact some eluvian can give you magic AIDS(aka the Blight), there is a good chance Rook is just fucked after using this mirror.

oh, so the game is just a really gay version of TF2's Expiration Date SFM?

 

[Edict of Expulsion]

This is so heartbreakingly horrible, I almost can't believe it's real. […]

My beloved franchise. RIP

It will do better than Concord or Dustborn but I don't expect it to sell well

Even though they’re so maligned as GamerGate chuds, gamers will never stop shocking me at how willing they are to purchase personally insulting slop. Even in this thread there are people who are planning on purchasing the new DA, even in spite of how awful it is and how much hatred it exudes for normal males and females.

I get not being able to easily drop something like DA. I played hundreds and hundreds of hours in Origins—every single origin, the DLC, even the stuff that came along with owning Mass Effect 2. But at a certain point you just have to accept that the people making and publishing these games are pond scum who dream of normal people like you and me being killed because we think stuffing trannies into kids games is distasteful. If gamers could just stop preordering and playing slop, the industry would be in a far better state.

Oh well. Back to Dwarf Fortress.

Mortisimal absolutely sold out.

I can't believe he is that spineless after all. You know when shill up says the design is bad, he shows it with samples right? That bridge puzzle was really retarded, you just have to pick an artifact which is 5m away from you and press the switch. I see it and I get it.

Meanwhile from watching previous Morti videos, you know he likes games with complex mechanics like Pathfinder, where you can pour through in detail and craft your builds. But Matty shows that the combat mechanics is shallow as a puddle. He says that as long as you keep on levelling and stacking your skills, eventually you can bypass any mechanics. Heavy armour needs heavy attacks to break the barrier? No worries, just swing your light attacks as usual that will pierce through the barrier etc. Meanwhile you can't brute force your fights like that in Pathfinder.

The stories is Pathfinder is also full of conflicts and evil stuffs, you can literally change some companions into a totally different state with different treatments. So how can such shallow stories and mechanics like Veilguard be the game of the year?

What a sell out.

I dont mind having gay or lesbian characters in a game when they are done right and are included organically. But the fact that they went so hard into this faggy shit in a fantasy setting that wouldnt know what transgerderism or other faggy terms is, blows my mind. How can they have "scars" when magic exist. Dorian might have been a fag but atleast imo he was made just right, not too much gay, but not too one dimensional. I hope who ever green lit this abomination gets fired and the writers who massacred our beloved franchise live forever so they can suffer forever.

Selling out implies change, but he's consistent. He always could enjoy any type of awful soyslop.

Back in my day, we just called them attention whores.

In my experience. it's either that or they're what we would have called Tomboys/butchy lesbians or a combination of that.

I'll be honest, the Inquisition cliffhangers got me seriously invested in the next installment, and I was maintaining a flicker of optimism long past the point where it made any sense to do so. But once clips of Veilguard started appearing and it became clear that the resolution of those questions -- even if interesting or skillfully written -- was a distant secondary concern to pushing a hideous agenda, I was off the train. It doesn't matter what the Black City is, what the Evanuris really were, or how the Old Gods of Tevinter link up with the elves. It doesn't matter where the Blight or the Qunari came from. It doesn't matter what happens to Urthemiel's soul. It's just an unfinished story, manhandled and violated by vandals who are permanently obsessed with their own genitals and insist you be obsessed along with them. There are other stories out there, and I won't be wasting another dime on this one.

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

So what happens to Solas? That's the only thing i care to know about at this point

He becomes the new ultra-tranny god of the Elven pantheon, represented by a statue with zippertits, a stinkditch and a rotdog, and a syringe in they/them ass, surrounded with vials of DIY Troonshine.

It's mostly women that don't wanna be called dykes, had some form of childhood trauma/neglect, AND browsed social media and forum sites that other girls like them created.
It's a made up thing that they can feel special and can create their own expectations of what it means. They don't feel like they are what a woman (or a man) should be so they choose to be something that most people have no idea what it is so they have no expectations for.

This fits with the one female friend I had that went "NB". She had severe childhood sexual trauma at the hands of an older brother (so incest child sex trauma, the nastiest of all traumas). I think she did it to escape her "femaleness" because she felt it was the essence of why she was attacked. It was a coping mechanism. This was just he tip of the iceberg in her continuing journey of severe mental illness, but she cut me off for never demonstrating any acceptance of "NB"s even though she also used to laugh at them with me. Now I was the enemy, a chud!

Oh, and fuuuuuuck whoever decided this pile of confused firebreathing shit hooks up with Lace Harding if you don't romance either of them. Just when I thought I couldn't loathe this any more than I do

Wait, WTF happens?

Eluvians have been able to transmit the blight since the first game. It's in the Dalish origin.

Yes, Duh. I completely forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me, I'm a retard.

 

[Merton J. Dingle]

So basically, this game is more evidence that HRT is the crack cocaine of the nerd community? Seems to be the case with nearly every major release.

 

[Mola Ram]

Wait, WTF happens?

Remember how in DA2 and DAI some of your party members would hook up (mostly in banter) if they went unromanced? Isabela/Fenris, Iron Bull/Dorian, Sera/Dagna, and Blackwall/Josephine? Well, now it will happen between multiple party members and apparently it's much more fleshed out. Taash will hook up with Harding: watch the last few minutes of the uploaded video.

 

[Overly Serious]

It's starting to sound that people wont be able to blame the failure of this game on it being Woke, due it it being so bad in every other way as well.

I mean for what it's worth English isn't supposed to have a singular They as such, either. It has it but it's for unknowns. Like "someone broke into my house. They stole the television." If you know the sex of the person you're supposed to use the pronouns of the appropriate gender.

There's a YouTuber I watched and he always uses singular They, always. It's very weird and obvious. Everyone else at his table is using he and she normally and he keeps forcing They in it. It's confusing, too. I keep wondering who he's talking about. To the point that I stopped watching the channel.

Eh, you can just read spoilers here and hopefully that will deal with any lingering curiosity without you having to waste 80 hours of your life to find out "oh, the bargeman is the Maker" or something.

not sure if this was posted before (or if this is the copyright struck video from last page, i got this from /v/) but here's Isabela repenting for misgendering Taash.
View attachment 6577969

In all my sperging out about demons and tieflings, I can't believe I missed this. This is fucking unhinged.

"It's not enough to apologise when you misgender someone, no, because that's just something you're saying so you can move on and get it over with. No, I want you to participate in a literal humiliation ritual, because if I could force you to drop and give me twenty like a fucking drill sergeant every time you called me 'he' instead of 'they', I 100% would."



Was writing a god not enough for you? Fuck off, Patrick Weekes, you actual fucking psychopath narcissist beardy-weirdy cunt.

I'm the sort of person who avoids spoilers like the plague (I went into Mass Effect not knowing what the Reapers were and I didn't play it until 2012), and I'm already scouring the internet for any spoilers I can find. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the storyline posted here, because I have no desire to suffer through 50 hours of this trash to mine for gold nuggets and I certainly have no intention of paying for it. I want to see BioWare gone.

Good, one nail more in the coffin.
This newspeak will never be accepted and dates every endeavor as a "what were we thinking, oh it's one of those..."

Even though they’re so maligned as GamerGate chuds, gamers will never stop shocking me at how willing they are to purchase personally insulting slop.

Nah, we are currently in the hype cycle.
Dead Space Remake, Final Fantasy Rebirth and Starfield got the same treatment. Astroturfed hype only to be forgotten two weeks later and the publisher announcing that sale expectation weren't met, which mostly translates to not returning a profit.

We probably won't get abysmal steam player counts as with Concord or Dustborn, the Dragon Age Ip is still too strong for that, but those only reveal if something bombed at release, not if it was a success in the long run.

Updated my community happenings post to include this. This is the worst case of translation and butchering of a language that I have ever seen in my life! German is not the only language that may have that problem. Spanish doesn't have any form of they/them pronouns either, they use el/ellos (He/Them), ella/ellas (She/Them). The pronouns used to describe a group of people are gendered. I have seen some people trying to incorporate "elle/ellx" (Hi/Hx or Shi/Shx). It sounds as retarded as you think it does in normal conversation.

Totally the same. Avoid spoilers at all costs and yet here I am seeking them out as an inoculation against a game I know will be bad but which I'm curious about.

I absolutely get it.
