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

[Sargon's wife's son]

Yeah I'm sure the kunari who created people like Sten who literally question if you're a female warrior why you are fighting women belong in the kitchen

Though in Pathfinder you can also just make more PCs to bring instead of story companions if you truly hate them all (or need to min max)

I love Owlcat games because if you don't like a companion you can just murder them. I've killed Nenio in every game that I played right off the bat except for my Swarm playthrough. She's an immensely annoying character to me, but her existence doesn't ruin the game at all because she always ends up rotting in a Kenabres alley. Letting players make choices means that everyone can feel satisfied at the end of the day, it reduces friction within the player base. I don't spend a lot of time engaging in Nenio hate and ranting about her on fandom forums because I've only just had to put up with her bullshit in my last playthrough, and any of that annoyance is tempered by my plan to eventually become an apocalyptic bug monster.

When I finally do a lawful good playthrough I will probably use that mod that makes everyone white and hetero so it feels more believable to me.

A guide to the ending is now available. I see people on Twitter grousing that you have to save certain companions to get the best ending, but to me the real eyebrow-raiser is that this is literally the Mass Effect 2 suicide mission with the numbers filed off.

That is just fucking ridiculous. At least the companions in ME2 were people I wanted to save. I wanted the tranny to die!

Hahaha Spaceman Spiff has weighed in:

faggots had a week ahead to drum interest for this shit and all they managed was to get worthless 10/10 from the videogame press lmao

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

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

Yeah, i just remember that.
In that case, hopefully this game doesn't touch Kieran.

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.

That would require imagination and trying to work it creatively into the setting. Thats clearly not why leftists are working on this game.

But then again, even when a character is genderless, usually when they are a robot or some genderless creature, they are usually called by the pronouns that suit their voice. An example is Legion from Mass Effect, he is a Geth that is part of the Geth collective, thus not only he is a genderless being but he is technically many. With that said, Legion is usually referred by male gender pronouns given the fact he is voiced by a man.

I dont know, its easier for the audience to keep track of stuff like that and you dont want your story's lore to feel more like homework than it needs to be.

This isnt fantasy, its basically modern stage play that needs to be suited for modern audiences. True fantasy is what it is, without having to bend to the needs and preferences of the culture it was written.

You are trying to write a timeless setting with concepts that are dated on the crib.

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.

No offense but writing was on the wall that this was going to be garbage, if you got excited for it, the disappointment is really on you.

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).

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.

The earlier people understand that its not the company that makes these games but dev teams, the better.

Your game is the byproduct of the combined effort of many writers and game designers with a vision and passion. But then the game is over and altho you may still get a sequel or two with the same team, chances are, members are going to start leaving for greener pastures (or just retiring altogether).

Sure, the company may carry onwards the policies that they established to the new devs but you are really counting that the new guys have the talent and passion that equals that of those that came before them. But something you need to understand, all Im sharing is the best case scenario, what is more likely to happen is less talented folks come along and the higher ups, as short sighted as they usually are, will not give a shit to maintain quality and even actively hire people who are worse at what they do but hey, they fit into the changing cultural woke times so worth it, right?

Brands dont make games, people make games.

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

Fuck the ending. If I hate play it the tranny is dying, regardless of the consequences. Someone needs to make a mod where you can piss on their NB corpse. It's too bad Niggolas had to die, I'd much rather shove the tranny into the endless maw of hell. Shows you how they feel about racial minorities in comparison to the special genders.

 

[bort420]

Yeah I'm sure the kunari who created people like Sten who literally question if you're a female warrior why you are fighting women belong in the kitchen

This is so woke it turned around into being right wing: the qunari have no female warriors ergo any female wanting to be a warrior must be male. The qunari are thus the wokest society and are now cool and good for allowing trans people. Also they aren't totalitarian anymore apparently you can just fuck off and not be hunted as an apostate?

There's a comic where they show that qunari will magically lobotomize prisoners of war who resist conversion. They actually had the ottoman vibe like they were supposed to with janissaries and everything.

Now they are parroting 1:1 the "Iran is better than the us for trans women" line since they let you transition (just ignore that homosexuals are offered the choice of death or forced transition)

Retard logic. Absolutely bonkers to think this accurately reflects reality

 

[Mukhrani]

Are you expecting consistancy from these people? This is the same race that would find the concept of a woman warrior so vexing that they'd think you were lying about being a woman, much less the concept of non-binary identification. I know it's been harped on a lot already, but it's insane they chose the Qunari, of all races, to have this character, not even a Tal-Vashoth!

It's not insane if you think like a shitlib. They have a huge amount of cognitive dissonance in their worldview because they're all-in on the queer shit and on mass immigration from Islamic shitholes. They reconcile this in their head by pretending that planting a bunch of surly Muslims in Antwerp will cause them to gradually morph into this gay- and women-friendly soy-ummah - that they will keep the exotic veneer of Islamic culture while ideologically conforming 100% to shitlib ideology. Taash is this archetype writ large: she's their retarded idealized second-gen Muslim immigrant who becomes a theybie and has to bring her backwards (but diverse and wholesome!) parents around to the truth and goodness of bad dragon dildoes and baby drag hour. This whole game is them projecting their retarded political ideals wholesale onto what was once a vibrant and interesting fantasy world.

When they say "return to form" they mean the lack of form in the torrent of diarrhea they have let lose on the IP that was Dragon Age.

I don’t keep up with gaming news - I just knew it was finally coming

 

[Forgotten Beast]

When they say "return to form" they mean the lack of form in the torrent of diarrhea they have let lose on the IP that was Dragon Age.

I think it's short for "return to forming a line at the unemployment office".

 

[BlankSpaceBaby]

When they say "return to form" they mean the lack of form in the torrent of diarrhea they have let lose on the IP that was Dragon Age.

The only acceptable answer in this context is: "return to form" = detransition. Which, sadly, will never happen, as these big corporations double down on their failures all the time until they finally get sold out to the Chinese or Arab.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

I was so excited for DAV

LMAO why?

 

[CoolDudeXD]

So excited for Jersh to stream this

 

[Coo Coo Bird]

Imagine what Tarsh is like in different languages.

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.

>have dialogue praising multicultural society
>make the game impossible to understand for those stupid foreigners who can't speak english
Classic.

We need to go back in this thread and find the funniest predictions that are coming true. Here's one of mine from June, when they revealed the name change, but I'm betting there are much better ones from much longer ago:

I'm expecting most of these characters to range from bland to offensive disasters.

 

[FatalTater]

Tony Down Under is doing a playthrough of Dragon Age The Veilguard.
The animation is annoying me.

 

[I_am_that_I_am]

Hearing a fucking Qunari shout "I'm Non-Binary" was really the last bit I needed to finally tell myself this series is dead and will never come back.

Imagine Sten from DAO or the Arishok from DA2. The mystique and alien nature of the Qun and Qunari. Now the Qunari are fucking reduced to some bitch screaming about being a they to her mother.

 

[VasonJoorhees]

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.
