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

[Mola Ram]

Why did it get an abrupt name change a year or two ago?

The name change was this year, which was as big a red flag as one can imagine.

EDIT: June 6 of this year, to be precise. During Pride Month, naturally.

In regards to the non binary they/them and trans stuff, I gotta say something I saw on Twitter: this is fantasy right? I’m pretty sure you could get away with this if you just added some language or mythology to establish how a species/race/world/culture has something that establishes how this LGBTQ setup is a thing. Instead all we get is the same exposition dump that only the most hardened of leftist and left wing culture warriors think is how humans interact.

It's gone now but LGBTQ+ tag on first place is pretty funny too. Good luck selling that trash to the wider audience.

It's literally the only tag I've added to my Steam account's "auto-hide and ignore games with these tags" feature. Automatic no buy if it has that tag. No exceptions.

Oh, you have to sacrifice either the cute dwarf waifu or the negro warden.
I wonder which one most people will pick.

I wonder if the game will keep track of that interesting statistic (and of course phone home with it without user consent or knowledge). It'd be funny if the devs come out six months from now with numbers they can lecture the racists with.

Top sellers on Steam is so bipolar. You see big releases in the top ones, but then there will also be indie shit or a anime VN that barely sold anything there too.
Wonder if its based on trend or something, so when you see explosive sales on a title it gets automatically picked.

Its because its only for that week. Its a very short term snapshot.

If nothing else comes out, and the release is somewhat noticeable, its going to place highly.

I’ll be real with you.

Gamers are retarded. You would think after assassins creed: legends of the lost dildo, black ops: part 36743 and loli pedo anime game X, they would learn to quit buying shit and slop.

But nope. Gamers will never learn. They will always buy the worst shit ever if they can slighty remember it being a thing in the early 2000’s or if it might have an anime titty in it.

Every other game in the series made a point of being a continuation of events set in motion since Origins, a game that came out in 2009 - some people have had storylines going on for almost two decades at this point. Choices that you made over the course of those games mattered to people and affected the world of the games accordingly.

But no, chuck all that shit in the bin. That doesn't matter. Got to make way for pronoun spergery and non-binary qunari.

When I saw Epler say something to the effect of “Kieran was Dave’s idea” I think it dawned on me. The people in charge weren’t the people behind origins or even inquisition. (Well some of them were).

They aren’t remotely invested in the prior games emotionally or artistically. They weren’t involved in their creation or had minor roles compared to the people who did and have left or been laid off.

So when they tell you to “let origins go” what they are saying is “I don’t care about origins why do you?”

Obviously wokeness is involved but part of it is just the falsity that any corporation can change and be the same thing. The BioWare of the 2000s and early 2010s or the late 90s is not the BioWare of today. Too many planks in the ship of Theseus have been replaced.

The way they sell it to you is “BioWare” as if this corporation is an unchanging static entity, it’s not. It’s lost most of the people that gave its borderline magical reputation. They just bank on you(the customer) not knowing that.

"No, my loyal companions, I'm the Grey Warden and it's my duty to sacrifice myself to end this hellish nightmare once and for all. And for the last time, Morrigan, no, I don't see how making an unholy demon baby is a good solution to this particular problem. Goodbye my friends, and Alistair."
Thus the Warden struck the Archdemon, and while both dissolved into legend, an unknown power granted a last gift upon the dying hero: a vision of the future he had sacrificed everything to protect:
View attachment 6579681
Superstitious folk swear that, on the gloomiest of nights, if you pay attention to the rustling of the leaves around Fort Drakon you can still hear the lasts words of the Warden:
"Oh, Fuck".

Unrealistic. Who doesn't wind up having an unholy demon baby with the hot goth gf?

 

[I See You]

I finally made an account just to ask this very important question. What do you all think is better for a mock name?

Dragon AIDS: The Troonguard, Faggot Age: The Troonguard, or maybe just mix both for: Faggot AIDS: The Troonguard?

In regards to the non binary they/them and trans stuff, I gotta say something I saw on Twitter: this is fantasy right? I’m pretty sure you could get away with this if you just added some language or mythology to establish how a species/race/world/culture has something that establishes how this LGBTQ setup is a thing.

It looks like they actually did half-assedly do that. Taash says something about the "Shadow Dragons" calling people they/thems and coming up with the term non-binary in Thedas. A better writer would have actually come up with a unique term and intricate history behind such a huge exception to biologically enforced norms though.

Unrealistic. Who doesn't wind up having an unholy demon baby with the hot goth gf?

And even that you can break the blight cicles by having the soul of a old god in a child. Better plan than the Arquitect faggot.
Well, only if that child doesn't go bonkers...


You know what? I want that baby appear and kill everyone involved in Veilguard.

The troons who made this game, had a female warden and romanced Leliana.

Don't say something you might regret.

Damn. You are right.

Lmao then this was absolutely an ass pull by bioware. The crunch in the last few weeks must be insane. It explains the dogshit original trailer.

This completely feels like they took the live service or casual components they had working and spun it into a $70 standalone game since ea would pull all funding at the end of 2024 anyway Slap some lipstick on the pig and send it out to market to say you shipped something before the shutdown happens as a hail Mary.

EA was probably tired of funding this turd of a studio after anthem. Can't blame them, buying a single player company and trying to force them to make recurring game franchises doesn't work.

I bet they lkcensd it out to larian, owlcat or some other third party aa dev and collect the cash over trying to restart an aaa IP.

Its because its only for that week. Its a very short term snapshot.

If nothing else comes out, and the release is somewhat noticeable, its going to place highly.

This is why it's always funny to see leftists screech about nebulous charts showing their turbowoke game is #1 right now on stuff like Amazon sales. When you release in a week when there's literally zero releases and the chart is based off of revenue, your only competition is the rare random indie game that came out for $10 and will need to outsell your $70 garbage game 7-to-1 to beat it on that chart.

Don't say something you might regret.

Listen to this man. I was forced to watch American Horror Story with my lady. After several seasons of wondering, "what happened to that unholy demon baby at the end of Season 1?", my question was answered and I regret it.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

I remember even playing DA2 and getting mad that I couldn’t kill Anders ASAP and even at the end, you just shank him and the game has the nerve to try to make you feel bad.

That’s why BG3 is so good. Troon elf party member? Pick that nigga up and throw him off a cliff in the first two seconds, lmao. Or on introduction, say something like “Eat my balls, tranny.” Then rip his face off for Bhaal.

Most modern RPG writers are normally such cucks. “Oh no, I have to protect my troon blue goat and can’t give the player any agency whatsoever boo hoo waaa waaah.”

The kid actually turns up in Inquisition with Morrigan, they are on the run from Morrigan's mother Flemeth, who wants to rip the soul straight out of her grandson

The dialogue in this game reads like a heavily moderated discord server for “cozy” games. I was so excited for DAV that I replayed origins, daII, and DAI to set my canonical playthrough. Now it turns out basically none of it matters and the game is going to play like I’m being lectured by some fat drunk theybie with a septum ring at an undergrad bar. I lean way further left than the majority of this site but I can’t fucking stand that wokescold shit.

One of the reviews mentioned you can “harden” the characters by pissing them off, so they fight harder and play less support. If you can tell the neopronouns that she’s a fucking retard, thus empowering her independence, that would be amazing.

One I saw Epler say something to the effect of “Kieran was Dave’s idea” I think it dawned on me. The people in charge weren’t the people behind origins or even inquisition. (Well some of them were).

So when they tell you to “let origins go” what they are saying is “I don’t care about origins why do you?”

The troons who made this game probably never even played the previous Dragon Age games.
