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

[Ishtar]

I have the strong suspicion this game was basically rebooted twice, and that anything remotely approaching redeemable about this game(whether it be Solas’ dialogue or some of the lore bits or anything else-and that isn’t saying much) is an artifact of an earlier version, that is probably between 2015-2017.

Lore drop. This is...mostly fine, except for making the old gods stuff less impactful.

The elves waged war on the titans, to acquire lyrium, the Blight itself was imprisoned in the golden city(Corypheus said it was already corrupted when they got there), Solas imprisoned the Evanuris, and used their life essences to hold the veil in place-Solas' fear with the wardens was once, the last of them died, the Veil would come down.

(The titans also being made humanoidish is stupid but w/e).

Basically...the elves ruined everything.

I dont feel so bad about elves being slaves anymore.

This game gave me nightmares where I played it. And nightmares of writing it all down so I didn't forget, but I dreamed that too so I totally forgot most of it.

Now why am I sharing this useless info? Because even in my nightmares, it was a better game. Why? No Traaash, no pronouns. Just every companion was black lol, and the big bad guy was the white male Warden as some undead boss. And if you didn't prevent your companions from being triggered they would slowly become diverse undead.

So why did he think tearing the veil down was a good idea?

God, I am glad I accepted DA's death after Inquisition. Must be hard to swallow to see it raped this way while still caring.

Spoiler: Current Metacritic score

Still at Mostly Positive.

Basically...the elves ruined everything.

still very stupid
i already had enough reasons to want TED in origins

Why did you feel bad at all? They were an immortal race of innately magical beings.
And somehow still fucking lost to normie ass humans.
Clearly, we are the master race and they are an inferior bug people who are best off as our servants and slaves.

So why did he think tearing the veil down was a good idea?

The Illusive Man, Joker (And the rest of the Normandy's interactable crew), Kaiden, Miranda, Admiral Hackett, Jack, Zaeed, Fade aka Harken, Officer Bailey, etcetera. I could keep going but that'd be autistic, and I'm already sorry for displaying a bunch of it here already.

I did already say it wasn't really strictly enforced. Take it up with Drew Karpyshyn though who wrote it into the setting.

Lore added by novels should never be listened to when it comes to lore that contradicts what we see in-game. A lot of the time the people who write that shit are bigger spergs than the people who write stuff for the game itself. Example: Sam Maggs and Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, when she made the female love interest to the game's protag an aggressive lesbian. Fortunately it's rendered moot by the next game in the series when they get together. Similar to how the supposed ethnic homogeneity of humanity (Which isn't at all demonstrated or on display in-game in any capacity) is rendered an even greater impossibility by the sequel to ME1. I'd argue it wasn't even a thing in-game.

Decided to redo my gigachad king run.
i got the dragonbone cleaver as a reward for witch's hunt so i decided to run with it

i like axes better than swords so i already love it more than starfang
On another note, I got this conversation

jesus christ, wynne, you are always either a complete bitch or a nurturing grandmother

 

[Megatardingo]

I really don't know what happened. Even in Dragon Age Inquisition, there are nuances and pacing in the main story mission to show that the writers and designers know what they are doing.

 

[Miller]

I didn't know Thinking Ape had a gaming channel.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

 

[western gamedevs are fags]

Can someone post the tranny spergout that happens when some of the characters are having dinner? I remember seeing a Seinfeld version of it too!

 

[God of Nothing]

I didn't know that. Interesting.

It came as a complete surprise since I never heard him shill it. Same voice, same style of thumbnails, and even the same "by the gods" lines. It's either him or someone exactly like him.

This?

Edit: No, obviously it isn't what you asked for, but it's somewhat related

i hated her, the only good thing about sera was that every time you interacted with her the option to just kick her out is always available in the first dialogue menu

I still can't believe how Sera exists when Cole exists too, which is a much better character.

 

[Brap God]

This isn't reflected by ingame models but IIRC the codex (or some other source like a book or dev posts on forums) said that nearly every human was some flavor of Caucasian/Asian mutt by the time ME1 takes place. I also recall that Anderson being black was considered rare, which I think came from one of the books written by Karpyshyn.

These bits of lore were dropped in the sequels.

That's probably moreso Karpyshyn jerking off to his dream of globohomo-ism than anything worthwhile and shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

[Ishtar]

So why did he think tearing the veil down was a good idea?

He was going to transfer the Evanuris to another prison, via magic which required a very delicate set of rituals to do properly. I think?

 

[Firemalzahn]

I like how they were trying to be GOW in combat without understanding gow combat

It's not that, but the Seinfeld sting is the same as the one in the video you posted. And the lesbian tranny that's despicted in the thumbnail is the one that's having a spergout about muh gender or something with her mother during dinner.
