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

[Sailor Swift]

I agree, it looks terrible. But the devs said it will be teh most fun evah!!!

Because what's more fun than a preachy game about pronouns and the story of friendship starring a cast of tabletop rejects?

 

[There Is Light At The End]

I came up with silly ditty:
Qunari in Veilguard named Taash
And she has a non-binary gash

 

[Sniperwoof]

"The necromancer looks like gay Vincent Price and he has a monocle and a skeleton servant named Manfred, isn't that so quirky and silly and awesome?"

This may strike some of our viewers as harsh but I believe everyone involved in this story should die.

“The companions are intentionally instead of accidentally good this time”.

I’m sorry what? I realize you have to hype things when you’re doing marketing but shitting on prior games(that in some cases you yourself wrote) comes off as mean spirited. Who is this supposed to appeal too? Definitely not people that actually like or know the previous three games.

The most telling thing to me is they emphasize the companions so much. Not the setting and not the plot. “The companions matter, the companions are important, companions are all pansexual” on and on.

Where is the plot here? Where are the narrative stakes?

How big you can make your polycule. You fail to include all the companions in it as the fail state.

Modern BioWare really hates the idea of player agency.

In the coming months we are going to find out that everything interesting, no matter how minor, about the Dragon Age setting has been removed and now it will be more like modern retarded DND Forgotten Realms shit instead

The behind the scenes video is also one of the most blatant shill / bot campaigns I've ever seen. Same exact time as upload there are hundreds of comments with 50-100 likes (so they all appear right at the top page for anyone who watches the video later, thus making it appear as if receptions is positive.) saying shit that no human would ever actually say.

Looks like EA is pulling an Amazon with this one. Guarantee shill tubers will be up defending the game as more info comes out within the next few months.

It baffles me how much they look down on the older games. Jealousy much? Everything about the long haired tranny disgusts me. The voice, The greasy face. It just screams mental illness.

Well, according to the quoted question, Manfred apparently was already dead, and gay Vincent Price brought him back, so even death isn't enough to make us safe.

 

[lukewarm coffee]

It's over.
RIP Dragon Age

 

[Sniperwoof]

It's over.
RIP Dragon Age

We need an ultra late rating, maybe a stone tablet or something.

It's over.
RIP Dragon Age

Bruh it's been over since DA2, or Inquisition, depending on how grognard you are.

 

[Logoden]

Oh joy, the dumpsterfire it is just getting warmer and it is even gayer than before.

If EA decides to make a remake of DAO by a bunch of tranny faggs and cultural authoritarians, there are chances it will extend the Dragon Age dumpsterfire for a few years more.

Also, this is not over yet. If you are considering the serie is dead after its first entry and still see a few good things about it within its sequels, then the last chances of quenching your thirst for such RPGs are to look elsewhere or to create your own campaign yourself, in video game or on tabletop format based on what part of the lore you see fit to do so(is there a Dragon Age Trpg ?).

Do we have to throw Les Trois Mousquetaires because some of its adaptation were especially bad or ridiculous ? No, not realy. We have better chances to be served right by ourselves.

Edit : Spelling

Remaking DAO would be waay too costly for Bioware, the fans would demand it get the ME legendary treatment. That is everything is updated in terms of graphics and not a single fetch quest is left out.

I just don't see them doing that.

I could only see them entertaining the idea if Veilguard is somehow a massive success and thus EA would see the market for DA games still exists.

If I were in charge, I'd actually want to redo DA2-keep the plot but add meat to the bones. Bring back the Exalted March DLC, and add more details, maps, etc...

Origins is a period piece from the early 2000s where edgy reigned supreme and grimdark settings were considered very trendy.

The political and social climate has changed so drastically I don't think modern EA or Bioware would allow at least half of the content in the original DAO to be included in a potential remake.

Desire Demons and the Broodmother for sure would be cut.

I don't think they'd allow you to sell a child's soul to a succubus in exchange for sex either like you can do to Connor in Redcliff

God that game was fucking cool, Bioware sucks now.

 

[Ishtar]

They did remake the entire ME trilogy faithfully. The only change was the Miranda butt shots.

Origins is quite another deal though. If it was just a remastered edition, it would be easier...probably to keep all the controversial elements. (Maybe with a disclaimer or something?)

A remake is just not likely at all.

I always thought it was weird the Miranda butt shots were censored and the equally gratuitous Tali butt shots weren't.

I'm not complaining I like Xenos, still weird.

That's because removing that would actually lose way more sales.

Oh my gosh! Even more fun than the game where I pressed a button and awesome happened? Does that mean two awesomes happen for every button press?

SQUEEE!

And now I feel the idea to take a long hot shower followed by killing myself to cleanse my soul of that remark.

Don't forget that you can also intimidate it into leaving peacefully without the ass-beating it so righteously deserves. And then after it agrees to that you can pull a Darth Vader, announce you're changing the terms of your agreement, and insist that its also going to teach you blood magic if it wants to avoid a grade-A ass beating. The dialogue if you do that is fucking great. That demon gets so pissed at you but does what you want anyways since it knows its completely fucked.

 

[Ishtar]

You have to have maxed out your coercion to do that apparently?

But yeah Origins is always fun to play, product of the late 2000s that it is.
