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

[Brap God]

Its so funny how Necromancy is such a positive thing in the Dragon Age world. makes me almost forget when i went Lich during my Pathfiner WOTR playthrough and brought TMD (Total Mortal Death) to build my skeleton army.

And I recall Cassandra mentioning her uncle was part of the Mortalitasi and she didn't really speak fondly of him or the Mortalitasi in general. Necromancy being spun as something positive seems like whitewashing in Troonguard.

Is Necromancy even a thing outside of Veilguard? Seems like something that should've popped up earlier if it's such a heckin big deal.

As per the screenshot in my last post, Mage Inquisitor can have and Dorian has the Necromancer Specialization. That's about it, from what I remember.

Still playing tranny guard. just got Taash and Emmrich. Taash makes me angry everytime she opens her mouth. Everyone more or less speak in new-speak but Taash dosent even try to pretend to be part of Thedas. every line she speaks is immersion breaking. She also such a immature bitch you cant take her seriously at all. The state of a trannies mind is truly horrifying.

Emmrichis the polite friendly grandpa. Thats it so far.

I'm replaying that right now. Probably the best necromancer game.

Oh, it's an Inquisition thing.
Origins let you summon a skelly from your enemy's remains, but it was connected to the ridiculous walking bomb spells.

Walking Bomb is a top-end Necromancer spell, so that follows. No walking skeletons, though, despite that being the literal definition of what a necromancer does.

it's literally the first spell in the line
granted, it is a pretty good one

According to this soy-bearded beta cuck of a clickbait journalist Cody Mello-Klein, it's GamerGate's fault.

I assume he means in Inquisition, it's at the bottom of the necro skill tree there.

It really says a lot about what they think of the average person's intelligence if they think gamergate is the reason and not a symptom of the problem.
I mean we all knew they hate and think everyone is dumber than them though...

Some nerd made the Nevarran Hazelnut Torte if anyone is interested.

Spoiler: recipe and instructions from tumblr

recipe is transcribed as-is from the game below, with any additions/changes we made [in brackets].

CAKE:
One and a half cups of sugar
Two cups of finely ground toasted hazelnuts
Three quarters of a cup of sifted flour
Two teaspoons of baking powder (sift into flour)
Eight eggs, whites & yolks separated
One and a quarter cups of apricot preserves
Apricot liqueur for brushing

ICING:
Eight ounces of chopped up dark chocolate
One cup of heavy cream
Pinch of salt
Two tablespoons of orange liqueur or rum or strong coffee (if wanted)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Beat egg yolks with sugar until thick and light yellow. Beat egg whites in fresh bowl. Mix ground hazelnuts into the egg yolk and sugar. [my partner also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract here.] Slowly add flour, then GENTLY!!! fold in egg whites. Butter and flour two eight-and-a-half-inch pans [we used 8 in.] Bake around an hour, 325 degrees.

Take cans from pans, cool, split in half. Brush with apricot liqueur. Warm apricot preserves, strain out skins. [partner put skins back in a pan with the apricot liqueur before brushing it on and let it warm up a bit to cook off some of the alcohol taste bc he didn’t like it lol, then he strained the skins back out again and brushed that on.] Spread preserves across cakes, then some icing, as you stack. decorate with icing and whole hazelnuts!

ICING:
Gently boil cream, then pour over chopped up chocolate. Add pinch of salt for taste. Stir, then let rest for 15-20 minutes to make sure it’s all melted. Cool completely, then whip it up and decorate the cake. Can add in coffee or liqueur (or both) to taste. Can also add in ground hazelnuts when whipping up the icing, to add texture.

other notes:

• my partner made chocolate bark for the outside of the cake. tutorial for that here! we didn’t add toppings of course, just the plain chocolate.
• we kind of just freestyled the decorating in general… we put some shucked hazelnuts in a plastic baggie and smashed them with a meat tenderizer to get the little pieces we sprinkled/dusted on most of the top, lmao. saw someone else make this cake and draw the mourn watch symbol on the top with icing which was v cute!! wish we’d had the time for that!!

While playing the game im trying to be as "mean" as possible to everyone but that dosent seem to work. Even the "mean" responses dosent come off as mean when Rook says it out loud (Wont even repeat what the text says. Typical dialog wheel choice). He just comes of as a bit of a tight ass/actual leader but that's when considering the shit that's going on.

They really didint play test this since i see no way to get everyone hardened when just completing quests with them increases your bound with them. They didn't want their OCs to get mistreated pure and simple.

If I had a friend who came to me proclaiming that he had finished a game he hated twice to prove to me how bad it was, I would not think the game was bad, but instead how pitiful my friend most felt to do something that sad.

It reminds me of the friend who you'll have an argument with and it peters out then months later they'll come up to you and be like 'hey remember when we were arguing about X? Well I just wanted you to know I found [source] and I was right.' Okay dude, you win I guess?

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

Well, i done the Origins Mage playthrought.
Had secs with Morrigan, but not done the dark ritual. Got Leliana as a lover after Morrigan's classic bitch behavior about end the relationship.
Man, the dialogue about: "I'm not give a demon-child in the world!" is so based.
I'm into Awakening with all the Arcane Warrior things from Origins. Basically +50 attack speed with daggers which gives critics between 2-3 attacks. Glorious as fuck.

>hurt everyone who loves games
these people don't like games, they literally hate it with a passion and want to destroy gaming. the projection is crazy

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

You know what i love about the dark ritual? It's how Morrigan manipulates you in a manner so specific to subdue against her.
Loghain was alive in my playthrought, so she said about being "overshadow" by him, obviously trying to force me.
Loghain for me need to pay all his crimes, so letting him doing the sacrifice was worth. And at least in death he has more respectable.

Remember that kid behind the harbor master in original baldur's gate who talked about how strange uncle sue looked? My how times have changed.

If you are going to do a gay cake in your fantasy game at least make it something that could be conceivably made without having anachronistic/exotic ingredients like coffee and chocolate.

Why do they keep calling it GamerGate 2.0. Are we expecting patch updates in the future? It also remains permanently amusing that according to journoscum GamerGate simultaneously achieved nothing and yet is to blame for everything.

There's a cottage industry of YouTubers who do nothing but historical food and they're both fascinating and delicious; perfect for a fantasy game, you would think. But then if you did think that, you'd be unfamiliar with the "Heroes' Feast" debacle of Current Year D&D from a few months ago, where there was a small uproar over an illustration in the latest Players' Handbook of Very Diverse Fantasy Characters noshing down on modern day tacos, sushi, hamburgers, Pirouette cookies, etc. etc.

One of the worst things about Veilguard is that it's only an outlier in how bad it is; not in how stupid its depiction of a fantasy world is.
