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

[augment]

The aliens in Mass Effect had to conform to a humanoid shape for gameplay layout reasons (needs to sit on a chair, on a vehicle, draw weapons, run along). The visual artists had to ideate within the confines of that limitation, so most of the quirks came from leg shapes and torsos. Doesn't mean they can't make a hanar playable though.

Man, who the fuck doesn't want to make Blasto a reality?

Apparently, there is a transmog function in this game that will allow you to choose to retain the appearance of the armor pieces you like while wearing pieces with superior stats.

This is a nice trait borrowed from MMORPG, as I would love to be able to keep my Hawke in his mage Champion armor appearance even as the DLC opens up better armor pieces.

It also allows you to change the underwear of your characters... not sure why this is an important trait to bring up, but I guess the developers are chasing an audience that only cares about romance and dress up. Trouble is, I don't think I want to see any of the characters in this game in their underwear...

This is the entire point of the system. Allow coomer faggots to hide clothing and play barbie dress up with 9999999 flavors of 110% period-accurate undies while hiding it behind the plausible deniability of "it's just a transmog, chud."

Listen, I love pretty armor. I love cool armor. I will take a stat hit for my aesthetic cos you can't fight crime if you don't look cute.

But I assume the underwear thing is for the inevitable cheesy sex scene where it tastefully fades to black before you wake up in your bloomers. At this point just show tits. Let my character have her tits out for fucks sake. Why did we get a nude Cullen before we could take our bras off. Morrigan ran around with her tits out, why can't we? Maybe I don't want to be androgynous or masculine or even practical.

The series became so oddly sexless despite being obsessed with sex. It's such a weird, safe, pg version of a fantasy harlequin novel.

Excooose you. She has lost her tits and covered them up further, thus finally achieving her final form of being an independent, empowered womyn that.... is she officially an elf now, as her mom is an elven goddess or something?

Becoming sexless? Bioware was always like this. The most hardcore Bioware ever got was showing some lower back, and ME1 came out the same year Witcher 1 made a CCG of all the women you banged.

Yes, Sigh.

 

[Sailor Swift]

Yes, Sigh.

...Girl.

That is the ugliest design I've ever seen, even for Bioware. She looks like some junk-ass WoW raid boss, or someone's BG3 oc. Claudia Black confirmed that she's not even returning (last I knew anyway). They can get Matt Mercer to voice the stupid fucking meme skeleton but this is what we're supposed to be okay with? This is our witch of the wilds?

I'm sad. That's sad. That made me sad.

They made her look like Flemeth which makes zero sense considering that in the first game we had to fight Morrigan's mom to save her from the fate that befalls all of Flemeth's children. Are they saying by Morrigan's new design that Flemeth managed to take over Morrigan's body?

Every RPG should have that function. It’s such a simple fix for the issue of subpar armor and weapons that you are forced to use because of higher stat numbers.

That was one of the bigger plot points from Inquisition. Late game either the player character or Morrigan have to drink from the Well of Sorrows which contains the will of Mythal (one of the old Gods/ Evanuris). Morrigan is desperate to drink it for the power up, only for Flemeth to show up and reveal that she was Mythal all along and Morrigan has unknowingly taken on the fate she was worried about in Origins. Whether they'll be an alt Morrigan based on the choice of the Inquisitor being the one to drink from the well I doubt. Guessing MorriMythal is canon now.

Show you how much I remember about Inquisition granted I only forced myself through it once and that was more than enough. Not saying that Inquisition did not have at least some decent parts, but it was nothing compared to Origins.

 

[Rick The Stick]

Imagine having the Sacred Ashes trailer's designs and not once even attempting to emulate those looks with the jump in tech. Go back and watch that trailer. Look at Morrigan in that and then look at her now. It hurts bros.

Didn't Egghead "kill" Flemeth at the end of that game, though? I suppose she could pull another contingency plan and jump into Morrigan's body, I guess.

This game can endear itself to me if it goes tranny balls to the walls and bring back the Warden and Hawke along with the Inquisitor as surprise companions mid- or late game. It'd be nice to give these protagonists some closure without going all Darth Revan, especially for the Warden.

Excooose you. She has lost her tits and covered them up further,

She hasn't "lost her tits". She still has them. But the mass is now distributed between four instead of two.

Hence why she's wearing two bras in that pic.

Looks like she's in the middle of putting something through the Eluvian mirror when he does her in. Before she reveals herself as Mythal she also takes the Old God Baby soul from Morrigan's son (unless you declined the pregnancy offer at the end of Origins, in which case the kid doesn't exist. To be honest I don't blame Bioware for not being able to keep up with all these choices.) So baldy could've been absorbing that. All this stuff was a bit of a shark jump, but they could've pulled it off if they'd gone with a non comical art style. Instead the glimpse of the two remaining Old Gods we got in the first gameplay trailer looked like a mid level Final Fantasy boss and Ivan Ooze:
