So...
non buynary
>>735047726Never played this, but I always thought that the asian elf was hot, mainly because I have yellow and elf fever. I might one day play it because of that if I ever find it on sale for like a dollar
>>735047726There's a literally identical scene in Inquisition where you have to sit and listen to a ftm tranny womansplain and approve xer heckin validness and it never gets mentioned anywhere for some reason
>>735048805It was mocked on the RPG Codex way back in 2014, especially since the Qunari's strict caste system would be the last culture to allow it.Today, the industry has gotten so crazy that even normies are making fun of stuff like this.
>>735048805that's because most players abandoned the game in hinterlands
>wait 15 years to bring down the veil after it being blatantly teased several times>last 10 minutes of veilguard>"lol no we won't let you do that"This was far worse than Taash
>>735050673Did it at least let you break the egg?
>>735047726MEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD IS GONNA TOLL ME
>>735050960He is alive forever no matter what you chooseAlthough considering the circumstances, it may be worse than death
>>735048867>>735048867peak comedy
>>735048805Inquisition sucks. A Lefty mmo wearing Dragon Age's skin. The gameplay is a half-assed action game "held back" by the pesky obligation to imitate the other games in the series. Its half passed action and a quarter-assed crpg.It is shocking that DA:TV was even worse. Was somehow even less assed then Inquisition.
>>735047892she looked severely bogged
>>735048867Even acceptance is not enough for these ideological tyrants. Good thing these retards kill themselves so much.
>>735048867'we already have a word for that, your term is strange and confusing to me''OUR CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND LIVED EXPERIENCES DON'T MATTER, USE MY LANGUAGE CHUD'basically telling her to stop being a fucking Qunari because 'gender issues' matters more than cultural heritage in that moment.you could reframe this with any variety of brown skin and it would suddenly become incredibly politically incorrect but of course they didn't consider that, right?
>>735048867Oh? Qunari have a word for this actually, it is: >Back to the re-education camp, faggot
>>735048805Probably because that game came out forever ago. Anyone old enough to remember Hamburger Helper knows that people were making fun of this shit since its inception. No, gamers didn't suddenly "turn on woke because Drumpf told them to".
>>735048867Things like this exists yet, they have the face to play that "that's not happening" card.
>>735048867>her story is about being non-binary>literally ends with a binary choice on racial/cultural identity
>>735048867>>735047726it's been two years and we're still seething over one cutscene?
>>735051645>>735051594That's my favorite part, she even tries to understand her daughter by connecting it to an existing Qunari term and she responds with "WHY WON'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME??"
>>735051687man I remember wen we thought it wouldn't get any worse than this
>>735051832If you could send a message back to your 5 year old self, what would it be?
Is there a word for the extremely common tactic seen here >>735051765 where mockery is described as "seething"?When people watch The Room, are they "seething"? Does anyone ask "why are you still seething over The Room"? Of course not, because everyone understands that would be retarded.
was it really necessary to make all the characters gay and retarded? i feel like someone in the chain of command must have known it was a terrible idea and could have stopped it but deliberately let it happen for whatever reason.to be honest if I was an executive producer for a bunch of faglords id also encourage them to make it as gay as possible for a laugh
>>735051687Cortez in ME3 listening to an mp3 file out loud of his dying husband's last words was hilarious>DON'T MAKE ME AN ANCHOR! PROMISE ME STEVE!
>>735051915Don't lose contact with that cute tomboy who you play with all the time.
>>735047726Why did they release you from the asylum again? Budget cuts?
>>735051942The suits are paid billions to spread atrocious propaganda.
>>735051915nigger
>>735048805I never interacted with Bull and band of gay men and sent them to their deaths asap and then I killed him in the DLC
>>735051952>it's ok, dude>want me to suck your dick, commander?
>>735051952I thought he was watching a soap opera and crying over it lol. Then he was like "I'M GAY BTW" and I was like bro, you don't even have a unique character model, why would I give a fuck about your personal life?
>>735051594Where the fuck did she even get the real-world term for this shit?
>>735051687Is there actually an entire chapter of the game devoted to your crewmates reacting to the fact that you like cock if you choose to be gay?Also can you only be gay with Kaiden and Cortez, the two most boring characters in the series?
>>735051687>>735051832but did they even deliver on that? or was it another broken promise of ME3?
>>735051918gonna cry?
>>735051296Moving to action certainly fixed nothing. Origins had the best combat out of all of them. DA2's gameplay is so bad, it is downright unplayable. Inquisition was not as bad, but also very awful. veilguard was playable, but insufferably boring.
>>735052079Traynor was worse. Her story was literally just>can I use your shower?>btw you can join me if you don't have a penis ;)And then Citadel is her using your hot tub
>all this transphobiaI'm going to need everyone itt to drop and give me 20 barves NOW.
>>735051805I like it too, in the sense that it reveals how out of touch they are. They are so delusional that they think this is somehow a good way to portray their point of view.BUT I still hate it for retconing the Qunari as accepting of this insanity in any way. The Qun has strict roles for every person and they are divided along gender lines. This major retcon can barely, almost work for a woman that is a highly capable warrior, IN THEORY, but it would never, ever allow this "I'm my own special thing that doesnt exist for anyone else" shit that being non-buynary is.
>>735052175It reminds me of the "bigot sandwiches" line from TLOU2. The writers can't imagine a world outside of their bubble. The term "bigot" would mean nothing in a post-apocalypse. It only has meaning in an affluent modern society where you can (somewhat) afford to ignore your natural in-group bias. Everyone throughout history until ten minutes ago was a "bigot". It was called being normal. If society collapsed, we would return to that sort of tribalism. What these writers don't understand is that their ideology can only exist once other ideologies have built a civilization for them. "Anti-bigotry" would just make you an easy target for outsiders. You'd welcome them in and they'd kill you and rape your women. Always. Every time. Without a civilization that's already existed for centuries, you'd be wiped out in no time. >>735052296Laughing? Maybe.
>>735051765Laughing at is not the same as seething
>>735052340I could never call Origins combat good after suffering through Golems of Amgarrak on NightmareI really don't know what option they had besides going (proper) action or turn-based combat and I'm not a turn-basedfag, so I'd rather the direction they went in with Veilguard
>>735052570Laughter and weeping can sounds quite similar Anon.
>>735052536Gay acceptance in general would probably almost entirely disappear in the event a massive portion of humanity died out. "Yeah you're gay. Awesome. Now have kids fucknut."My favorite part of Bigot Sandwiches was basically Ellie saying "Fuck your apology" which is a great way of making someone doubledownWhich I guess feeds into the plot of her being unable to forgive some random woman beating her father figure to death. A character needs flaws to overcome don't they?
>>735047726So... I'm HIV positive...
>>735048805Yeah and you can kill them all on a side quest
>>735052340Origins combat was the perfect rendition of turnbased-combat for CRPG. Changing it to an action game is a crime
>all these chuds hatingThedas is the most misogynistic world ever created
>>735052509>"You haven't seen the last of me, Hawke!">is the last time Hawke ever sees herWhat did she mean by this?
Frida Kahlo delenda est
>>735052612>>I could never call Origins combat good after suffering through Golems of Amgarrak on NightmareThat's a self imposed (You) problem.
>>735052807This line was written by a man which makes it even funnier>>735052834You have to love that she is most well known for having a moustache. Over any of her paintings
>>735052509Hep ... 1 ...
>>735052909I refuse to watch this scene again, but wasn't the whole point of this that "Apologizing makes it all about you, so what you need to do is do pushups in a corner for a while"
>>735047726... I'm Hugh Mungus
>>735052909I love how they actually have her do pushups and you can tell the devs have never done a single proper pushup in their lives because the form is just plain awful
>>735052723>>735052536Everything after TLOU1 is fanfiction by Druckmann. He invented Ellie being gay in the shitty DLC and then made her entire character revolve around that. She literally give zero indication that she's gay in the entirety of the first game. Also it's hilarious that the subject of her having children is never even brought up. She's fucking immune. What if she passes that trait on to her children? What if she has sons who can sire many more children from many different wives? Isn't that worth discussing, Druckmann? But no, instead she chooses to raise MY WIFE'S SON.Also there's a part of the game where a FUCKING PREGNANT WOMAN is "cleared for active duty". Funniest shit I've seen in my life.
>>735052810>abandoned game>abandoned character>abandoned plotline
>>735052807Do you think whoever wrote that line asked any women if they like being women?
>>735052909Holy shit, I'm actually quite good at this.
>>735052958Which is retarded because it draws even more attention to the situation.
>>735053064You have to stop, nobody has ever Barved that fast!
>>735052807If you defend Neve in her argument with Taash, where Taash rudely insults her for dressing like a woman, then Neve will attack you instead
>>735052724
>>735052958The point was "apologizing makes it about you instead of the victim, so instead you should put on a big elaborate distracting performance that interrupts the conversation and requires you to give a long monologue about the backstory of your routine"it's completely nonsensical. The only reason it's in the game is because one of the writers is trans and had previously posted on twitter that heh as a fantasy of forcing anyone who misgenders him to drop and do pushups. This was literally one of the writers putting one of their punishment fantasies into the game, nothing more.
>>735053096I don't know, I think I am addicted to this. I think I can go faster.>>735053064HIYAAAAAAAAA!
>>735052958The point was that you can never apologize properly for the grave crime of accidentally misgendering someone. It will never be "enough"So you should just never apologize, or better yet, not interact with them at all
>>735053162Slow barv
>IF KAKAROT THINKS HE CAN BARVE MORE THAN THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS, HE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING>I WILL MASTER THE BARVE AND APOLOGIZE FOR ALL OF MY ACCIDENTAL TRANSPHOBIA
>>735053204I'll show you a barv! This isn't even my final form.>>735053162RAAAAAAAAAARGH!
>>735053002But she's in Veilguard? Shouldn't she be bitter and not trust anyone after what happened?
>>735053330Nice of you to think that Bioware actually accounted for the option to give her to the Qunari. The only continuity Veilguard respected was>Did you fuck Solas?And some people showing up and acting out of character.
Heh, you're going to love this.What you're seeing now is my normal state.>>735052509this is a barve>>735052909and this. this is what is known as a barve that has ascended above a barve. or, you could just call this a barve two.>>735052909>what a useless transformation, you became more transphobic, so what?hmhmhm just waitAND THIS.AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND>>735053162AAAAAAAAAA
Merrill is kawaii and I never see anyone talk about her.
>>735051915buy bitcoin early
>>735051942you misunderstand why they do this, it's partially out of spite and partially out of a deeply sincere belief on "evening the scales" by kicking into overdrive on gay faggot shit and lame faggot writing to try and oversaturate the market and 'make up' for the past millennia of human civilization that was not faggot shit
>>735053453Her storyline is the most retarded shit. >live in a world where you can talk to demons>everyone knows making deals with them is stupid as fuck and they fuck you over >she gets thrown out of her elf tribe for trying to consort with one>continues to talk to and make plans with one>betrays her village elder >gets betrayed by the demon and destroys her tribe>cries constantly about how no one understands herUsually in these games I enjoy character storyline and want to see them through. I wish I could execute marril for bring a stupid bitch
>>735047726DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL
>>735051765>you're still pointing out how ridiculous my mental illness is that's infecting every aspect of daily life?>Chuds are so fragile!Sorry we don't want to play pretend with men in dresses.
>>735053453Very cute. Plus massive honkers thanks to the 1 model they used + elves being slightly smaller then humans.
>>735048805the game was also ridiculed as cisquisition faggot
>>735047726So Carl, we need to talk about what you've been tellin' Meatwad.
>>735048867so, has anybody addressed how a medieval high-fantasy people know what binary is?
>>735047726She's beautifu- oh sorry>push up>push up>push up>push up>push upSorry guys
>>735053636yeah but wouldnt it make more sense to be a little subtle about it? like slowly boiling a frog. i think the people who love faggot shit are retarded but they cant all be that retarded, someone on the team would have had the foresight to know that too much faggot shit in your face would make people hate it even more even average golems. it feels like agiprop but maybe the simplest answer is the right one and these people really are just retarded + corporate funding
I still don't get why they had Rook as the protagonist over the Inquisitor.The solaswives would've creamed themselves over Solas invading her dreams, yelling at her, and using blood magic to make her forget that he killed Varric.
>>735047726Does this game have any legacy? It seems like it's been completely forgotten except for /v/ occasionally memeing about this scene.
>>735053957Ironically it makes perfect sense in the setting that specifically a Qunari would know about non-binary as a concept because their was a special cast type thing for them in their culture, but for some inexplicable reason the writers decided to arbitrarily insert an extremely recent modern concept into the setting and made Taash obsessed with specifically being referred to as "non-binary" and getting really mad if the actual version from her own culture is mentioned
>>735053996i think they watched too much rupaul's drag race and overestimated the demand for queer shit, the push was too aggressive and now there's pushback
>>735054116Because largely, nobody liked the Inquisitor.
>>735054118Memes mocking them are the only legacy modern slop has. You want to know what people remember from the Star Wars sequel trilogy that cost well over a billion dollars? It's this:>I bypassed the compressor!>They fly now??>REEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY>Somehow, Palpatine returned. >Rey.. Skywalker.The "fans" of this slop pretend to like it for a while, then want nobody to speak of it again. You can only keep a lie about slop being good going for so long. Eventually the spell is broken and everyone can see the emperor has no clothes.
>>735054431Even Solas didn't really like her
>>735054116Varric kicked it? Good. Fucker was overratedT. somebody who gave up after DA2
T-top the charts!
>>735054118Weisshaupt and the ending of blighted Treviso were kino and I remember them fondly, but the rest was a messI instantly checked out of Act 3 when they did the hidden Virmire choice that got my romance killed through auto dialogue I had no control over
>>735054503I also remember The Dead Speak!And that the dead did in fact speak. The dead spoke in Fortnite, which is the only place where Palpatine's message to the galaxy can be heardhttps://youtu.be/4u0ejXC7kFs?si=y-HW5LxhJ9OYsfsA&t=22
>>735052570you aren't laughing.>>735051765yes. /v/ is nothing but repeats. repeat threads, repeat replies. it's just the same thing over and over again. weg thread, same picture reply, same reply to the guy that posted it. this thread. you get the picture. it's just the same rehashed shit over and over because this place is filled with retards that can never come up with another joke so they just sit around laughing like durrhurrr memba dat time??? haha so fanny
>>735051918Nah, you're seething. The fact that you call that a "tactic" shows that you think there's an argument to be had, a fight to win, or what have you. You're not just laughing at it because you think it's silly, you're derisively mocking it because you're invested in some issue. As such, to keep it up years later, that's seething.The mucho texto from here too >>735052536 shows that it's far from just "lol this shit is ass"u fucking mad lolololol
The Joplin companions seem a lot more interesting than what we got with Veilguard.Even gender bender Imshael would've been a better way to do the trans stuff than Taash.
>>735048867>bread cheese, vegetablewtf....
Remember, Veilguard was supposed to be live service slopWe were robbed of another Concord
>>735055359Hey sometimes I get lazy and I just have some bread I made and a block of cheese and a vegetable so I don't die
>>735053127>30 fucking yearsi wonder how much funding this got from epstein's circle
>>735051765Did you come in here to seethe yourself instead of just scrolling by?
>>735048867sex is observed at birth not assigned, you're already being jewed if you think "gender" is "assigned"
>>735055361>ywn do the Archon's Palace raid weekly with Solas as the end boss hoping for Memento of Lavellan to drop
>>735054962It certainly seems you're not laughing at least.
>>735047892I have crippling yellow fever and have been a fan of all dragon age games (even 2). This garbage was free on psn for one of the months alittle while back. I put 40 minutes into this heap pile of trash and actually felt buyer's remorse for a game I didnt pay for
>>735054147That's only after they retconned and destroyed everything interesting about Qunari culture in Inquisition in order to accept some bonus tranny points
>>735053706>gets betrayed by the demon and destroys her tribeWrong. The elder goes to the demon and gets possessed after failing to banish it. Then the tribe tries to kill her and you for fixing it.>continues to talk to and make plans with oneThis is actually wrong too. She doesn't make deals with it. She speaks to it to learn how to fix the mirror. Merrill actually is doing this the right way and if you bring her and Anders along she will dunks on him Mage style for not understanding spirits/demons and letting himself get possessed and corrupted.
>>735053954fucking KEK
>>735053115No matter how much I already hate these people. There is always room to hate them even more.
>>735052340Which is saying a lot because DAO is shit.
>>735052536ADA Jack McCoy throws "bigot", against a black defendant who chimped out and killed his boss on Walt Street, in an 1994~ L&O episode.I will never know what " bigot" means.
>>735051765It's a funny scene, Karen.Ha. Killed the whole franchise too. Go woke, go broke.
>>735056290Shit taste. Sucks to suck.
>>735055092When you have to insist this much that it's everyone else who's mad, it might actually just be you.
>>735048867https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4I_hgC-pwM
>>735048867>the evil mom who doesn't immediately validate xir mental illness is called SatanA bit on the nose, no?
>>735055092>>735051765You're just wrong and the reason someone can write (one) paragraph on it is because there are completely logical reasons with many different examples. Your only tactic is to ridicule the act of posting because your ideology is so absurd that you can't defend it. It is no different than being a flat-earther.
>>735047726THAT just happened
>>735047726Is it true that this creature killed the franchise?
>>735051765to be fair, it is an absolutely abhorent cutscene. xenoblade japanese or tidus laugh dancing tier
>>735056784Ha. Thats crazy
>>735048867This looks like a bad tumblr made WEG, from the animation to the dialogue.
>>7350546842 more weeks!
>>735053279She's barving the entire Earth!
>>735056919It is true that her game did
>>735053453>turns into a demon because of how retarded she is Based
>>735057656reality itself if transphobic, it was about time it barved
>>735048805Inquisition at least let you get them all killed in a mission.
>>735051765>seethingWhere is the anger? We are laughing at it. Nothing wrong with that.
>>735047726would you?
>>735052998Druckman is lucky he gets credit from normies for TLoU1
>>735051918I prefer it to the "omg y do u CARE" tactic used by a person clearly emotionally invested in it.
>>735048805Inquisition was the first woke game I've played, years before I've even heard of the term. Reflecting upon it years later I've realized the term woke isn't as nebulous as people say and you can pinpoint exact design choices that go into enshittifying games in that context.
>>735052958The point is that if you work out every time you disrespect a transperxon you're guaranteed to get SWOLE.
>>735051832>man I remember wen we thought it wouldn't get any worse than thisIndeed. It was a simpler time.
>>735052530They've retconned the Qunari so many fucking times.>The Qunari are basically human followers of a really strict, conservative religion>Except, no, they're AKCHUALLY their own magical Tiefling Klingon race>And also it's not all that conservative and is actually totally cool with trans people>And also it actually is a religion and all the Tiefling Klingons aren't necessarily born into it by virtue of being a Tiefling Klingon, but also absolutely FUCK the Qun for having any beliefs at all lmao
>>735048867this feels like a MDE sketch
>>735055092If you didn't care you wouldn't reply with an essay of your own. Just be honest and say you like this shit instead of the fake nonchalant faggotry your kind always pull.
>>735058210I would barf
>>735052909
>>735053957Binary just means relating to two, hence binary code referring to 2 values. The word was not invented for computers, it comes from latin.
>>735058210
>>735055092>Nah y-Stopped reading there. Your premise is false, so there’s no need to read whatever reasons you came up with. Sorry ;)
>>735054962We are laughing, you’re upset about it. This will be your life.
>>735058717It's an overly-academic sounding term that was popularized in colleges and the over-educated bohemians surrounding college communities. The same people who cooked up the term "polyamorous."Taash is supposed to have heard the term "non-binary" from a bunch of uneducated tribals.
>>735055092>y-you can’t just write that many words about how shit our game is!!Turns out I can. And I’m laughing all the while.
Why weren't you nerds there when they needed you?
>>735059084I was in my cave, doing nothing.
>>735059084So they wanted mindless consoomers who would eat whatever slop they were given?
>>735052271That specific post is fake, sadly, but Hamburger Helper was no better in reality.
>>735058210I think I would actually rather get eaten alive by a darkspawn. I'd still feel less violated by the end of it.
>>735059084>>735059249Tons of people in the media think this way.They basically think of fandoms as serfs that have to serve you and buy all your products so long as you hold their IP, which frees you up to try to appeal to a wider audience. This is the major reason why all the "fantasy boom" shows were the way that they were.
>>735059292Id rather become a darkspawn. Iv'e seen the Golden City. The throne of The Maker is empty.
>>735051915>>735053491
>>735059460>Meanwhile the makerI sure hope nobody visited me during my bathroom break
>>735058210Oh yeah, baby!What possessed the devs to make them think that anyone would actually want to romance this thing?
>>735047726I got this game for free and I still could barely play it. It should be a fucking crime what they did. Like forget about Taash and all the non-binary shit. That was hardly the fucking issue. Imagine playing as the permanent third wheel to the story. None of the companions have any rapport with your character, none. Every romance is better, without you. They don't flirt or talk to you like a friend. They talk to you like a therapist or tampon. I shut the game off when I walked in to two of the companions happily getting along and then getting all awkward and bland when my character walked in. Mind you, nobody knows each other any more than the main protag, so it makes no fucking sense for you to be the odd one out. Oh and don't forget if you let your allies die by not finishing their slog personal quests, you auto get the BAD END and the game chastises you.Fuck the writers man. Only good part of the game is the end where Inquisitor hitches it with Solas.
>>735059845You're not meant to romance any of the companions.
>>735060160You're not?
>>735059845The alphabet abominations who make these games are all massive incels who can only woo each other, if even that. They have no fucking CLUE what normal people find sexy.
>>735060231No. All of them are coded to have a default romance with another companion with perfect chemistry. Your character is the cringe self insert.
>>735060309I'm going to correct you there, because there was nothing good about the writing in this game that would suggest that something like "perfect chemistry" was even a possibility, but yes it generally feels like the player character was an afterthought.
>>735048867I hope this is as bad as it'll ever get, I think it is but it's so bad it beggars belief. The best possible thing Bioware could do at this moment for themselves, their customers, and the industry, is publicly disown Veilguard.
>>735051915Tell your Dad to see a doc
>>735053279Lost
>>735055964>She speaks to it to learn how to fix the mirror.i.e. getting information from a demon and letting yourself be fucked over>involving a demon with your tribe at all i.e. destroying her tribe
>>735051765>stop talking about the funniest fucking shit retarded leftists and corporations ever madeNo.
>>735061808If the keeper just stayed out of it, nothing would have happened. They were meant to leave and it is why they banished Merill in the first place, so they can just leave. The keeper is at fault for that
>>735058350I like doing this to people to jokingly justify shit like murder or rape>how does this even affect you>just let people do what they want bro ughhhh
>>735060110Emmrich is the best romance by far and doesn't have that issue because his other romance is with Strife (who he never interacts with if you romance Emmrich yourself)One thing I've noticed though is that ALL of the romances put Rook in a non-masculine or outright feminine role in the relationship. You can see it with >>735058210Veilguard is the game that convinced me making all LI's bisexual isn't the answer because of things like this. Solas's romance works because they know the Inquisitor is a female elf and can write accordingly
>>735062043>Emmrich is the best romance by far and doesn't have that issue because his other romance is with StrifeAnd Emmrich looks and sounds like a massive faggot thanks to their disney pixar tier choice in style. You can't win in that game.
>>735062043>ALL of the romances put Rook in a non-masculine or outright feminine role in the relationshipThe writers can't think outside of their own box.

>>735061974The demon would have used the restored eluvian to escape and possess Merrill. It wanted its freedom, there was no way it would just help Merrill without a high chance of it escaping (the only thing it wants)
>>735048867I, too, like to be locked in a thousand-yard stare out into space as someone serves me a plate of food, only to suddenly break out into an acknowledging smile several seconds too late.
>>735051952>STEEEEEVE!>I'm alright.>you sure?
>EA gets bought by sandjeets shortly after this
Give it to me straight, how likely is it that we get a DA5? I love this series and don't want it to be over :(
>>735053279This is the absolute dumbest shit, so why is it so fucking funny?
>>735048805Yeah but you could at least tell Crem that she's fucking weird. With Traash you are railroaded into supporting her.
>>735063547As far as I understand, no. The series is truly dead now. I want the last two games to be completely retconned anyway
>>735063214>yfw Dragon Age: Dreadwolf gets announced at TGA this year and it's a whole as retcon of Veilguard.
>>735051915dump everything into gold
>Establish the lore around the Blight in the first game >Introduce Blighted Lyrium in the second>Partial Elf Lore dive in the third with the introduction of the titans in the DLC>Piss it all away and make it so Elves were originally spirits and that they caused the Blight>Also, accidentally reveal that everything that happened was actually a long running keikaku of some mystery niggas because one of your dev monkeys fucked up and replaced a scene early on with the secret ending and they never fixed it, instead they just changed the dialogue in the early version
>>735051915>Winning Lotto numbers>Invest in Bitcoin early
>>735047726The only Dragon Age game is Origins + Awakening.
>>735051915"When mom starts talking about moving away, remind her that it's a bad idea for these reasons *gives myself a list* now study and understand these things so that you can explain everything properly"
>>735052536>If society collapsed, we would return to that sort of tribalism.Literally happening in real-time now. As you say, the first group to completely abandon their "bigotry" simply gets overrun by those who don't. Wait 500 years for some kind of civilized, egalitarian society to emerge again, then rinse and repeat.
>>735048867the jews who did this and sank this franchise and game dev are now doing it to some other future game.
Just restart Dragon Age from scratch. The lore is so utterly shit and any attempts to remedy it only worsens the shittening. A stinking shit pile that absorbs anything into shit.
>>735054116development hell and shifting game design 3 times>>735054118an excellent example to point to of game development where almost everything that could go wrong went wrong>>735056919realistically it would've been the final game anyway unless they left thedas. but yes
>>735062043>Veilguard is the game that convinced me making all LI's bisexual isn't the answer because of things like this.that's not really fairVeilguard had both of its big heads Weekes and Epler go off the SJW looney bin deep end and I mean it without a hint of humor, like Weekes nonbinaried out and has since said he felt uncomfortably writing about slavery as a white guy. and their team was so incompetent Bioware had to parachute in people from the Mass Effect side to finish the game (the ending is basically just ME2s suicide mission)
>>735063737>>735063929>>735064452The lore was much more interesting before the reveals from Inquisition onwards. Solas is where it really jumped the shark (although I hate the titans shit as well)The mystery was the appeal
>>735064634I legitimately wished Dragon Age just remained as as edgy as it was like it was a RPG based on the Book of Vile Darkness. That's it. That would've been their untouchable niche. And each game would just be another Dragon Age occurring in time intervals rather than whatever the fuck this shit is with Solas.
>>735064634All lore is better, when there is mystery. It engages your imagination and makes the universe seem much larger. Sadly, modern writers don't understand that.
>>735064634Totally agree. Never directly pin down the creation myths. Only ever hint that any one of them may be real to some extent.
>>735048867>"THEN SAY IT BETTER"tiresome
>>735064919It'd be so much easier for the writers to incorporate big decisions if they just spaced the games out more. Allow the political changes time to air out and stabilize instead of being forced to ignore most choices in order to consolidate the story for the next game.
>>735064919Maybe a weird thing to focus on, but the Fade became so boring after DAO and was one of the clearest indications that they had lost their edge. It doesn't feel otherworldly or unsettling at all in the sequels.
>>735060250Nearly all these woke games are written by married Gen Xers though?
Why did they retcon Andraste being Dumat?!!!
>>735051957Fucking this. Why are we so stupid, man
>>735065048Yes, that's my point. This is how Elder Scrolls does it and everyone likes it since it can also allow the game writers some freedom and leeway into connecting the previous game to the next.
>>735047726>>735048867>>735051765
>>735066260I miss the old Bioware facebook communities and the BSN
>>735058497snape works at blizzard?
>>735064634>The mystery was the appealOh wow it's the same as Mass EffectMaybe Bioware has always been shit after ME1 and DAO
>>735053957I wouldn't sweat over the language itself so much. There's so many linguistical tidbits you'd have to consider if you really wanted something rooted in medieval times. For example, nobody should realistically use the idiom "let's get down to business" until at least 17th century. But nobody complained when Disney made ancient Chinamen sing about it.
>>735066802That's not just bioware, it's modern writing in general. You can see the same happening in Warcraft universe. Finishing Uldaman was an insane experience. You find out about Titans, shaping of Azeroth, and the evolution of dwarves from earthen. Later the quest sends you to entrance to Uldum, you see the gates, which you can't enter, and your imagination is running wild.Now you're on fist name basis with the titans, the naaru, the void lords, and every other cosmic being.
>>735064987>>735065002You can answer the mystery but only at the finale. When you have pinned down "this is going to be the last game", that was the only time we should've learned what the Black City was.The blinding incompetence to open the mystery box without fanfare and dump it on the floor was probably the worst aspect to Veilguard.
>>735067782>Now you're on fist name basis with the titans, the naaru, the void lords, and every other cosmic being.thats because the lowest common denominator, overlapping with the self inserters, always want to know everythingback then a lot of people loved the Leviatahn dlc because it explained the reapers' origin
>>735067782Why did we attack Uldaman anyway? It really bothers me when I think about it, were we the bad guys?
>>735068003>back then a lot of people loved the Leviatahn dlc because it explained the reapers' originThat's what this Anon said >>735067843It's the last game of the trilogy, the Reaper arc is being resolved. Giving some more information about them is fine, though that information was of questionable quality.>>735068034Just exploring. Never know what you will find in ancient ruins.
>>735048805the scene wasn't as cringe as this one, but yes it was mocked, you don't know it because you weren't here
>>735067782Everything in sci-fi or fantasy inevitably and regardless of time or audience, turns into capeshit. Even capeshit itself has to amplify the stakes to keep people mildly interested.
>>735048867Not only this is dumb as hell but the game just looks ugly, I would never play anything like that.
>>735047726Imagine tanking your multi million dollar franchise for this disgusting fag.
>>735068867it turns to capeshit because they can't let go of the characters, they have to present new challenges for the cast to defeat and there's no tension if the challenges are easier than prior challenges so it has to constantly ramp upit also doesn't help that they have like 1000 people write the stories over decades so they're schizophrenic and inconsistent on topto write good you need 1 writer and he has to be willing to move on with new characters and new stories when the old characters have finished having theirs told
>>735060160>>735060309You're right the only romance designated for the PC was Bellara(Merrill 2.0)All the others yeah they are romances but they are really not meant for you
>>735047726Look at this fucking thing
>>735051765We're looking back and laughing. Just as future historians will look back on the tranny mental epidemic of 2010-2025 with confusion and disgust.
>>735058210Knee it in the balls?Yes
>>735047763Fippy
>>735047726I almost understand why they/thems cling to Kris from Deltarune so viciously, considering this wildebeest with the personality of an angry petulent 14 year old is their only other nonbinary video game rep
>>735051765You lost, tranny.
>>735053396Honestly, missed opportunity that anon didn't lead in with this. Maybe next barv.
>>735052998>cleared for active dutylegitimately the only reason this happened was so ellie can be SUPER DUPER OMG SHES SO EVIL because she kills her later despite her pregnancy. tlou 2 fucking sucks lmao

>>735055092>>735054962Lmao you got raped.

>>735071086>Also once you notice that every character has the head-to-body proportions of Destiny, you can’t unsee it.That's an intentional artistic choice. It's a retarded choice, but they purposely made their art style look cartoony
>>735071553It was already the case in Andromeda and to a lesser extent Inquisition
>>735071592Andromeda had obvious technical problems with modelling and animating the faces though, which is the only thing anyone playing the game will noticeIn Failguard they started with an intentional art style that looks like shit, because the DEI hires liked it I guess
>>735048867The icing on the cake is the walk animation, honestly.
>>735048867>I'm non-binary >Awkward moment of silence for a few seconds >What does that mean? >Laugh track Comedy gold.
>>735051915You have schizoid PD and will never fit in, go to a GP, go to a psychiatrist, and get on disability pension immediately once you are 16. Yes you are the only relatively normal person among your immediate family. Stay away from your mother and younger brother, they are both schizophrenics with BPD. Your dad means will but he will always be an incompetent ragetard. Get screened for ADHD ASAP. The world is going to get a lot worse because normalfags are retarded.
>>735048867Dragon Age was always political, you snowflakes need to go back to Origins and replay the tower area.
>>735051765fuck off to reddit you tranny freak

>>735048867This is so out of place in a video game it’s just hilariousAssuming our timeline doesn’t get worse this will be remembered as a time of true bizzaro
>>735072531What made it political?
>>735047726It should go on the Mount Rushmore of the Death of AAA games, along with Bazz.
>>735051915this>>735053491also to not get that loan and help my mom. she has no idea what she is doing.
>>735048867Isn't there like a dragon trying to destroy the world or like a hord of undead abominations trying to kill everyone? Do we really have the time to have awkward gender reveal dinner?
What in the world made all the most sex-obsessed neurodivergent freaks flock to the WRPG genre?
Two threads about this trash makes me think it is a distraction from steam charts being banned
>>735048867Compare this to a random cutscene from E33, what a complete embarrassment . E33 had bad lip syncing here and there but holy fuck did they absolute mog these triple AAA studios.
>>735048867I mean, is this not accurate? Do that you want seriously, but why is the constant attention seeking narcissistic persecution complex so common? The even hit the nail on the head in a video game, and its serious.
>>735048867This whole pronoun nonsense is so fucking pretentious it’s so gross
>>735069289what about Dante from the hit indie game Limbus Company
>>735075675you're seriously going to tell me Verso and Esquie talking about "wee" and "woo" is a better scene than Taash coming out of the closet as non-binary to their judgmental family
>>735075562Romance and companions. I’m a big fan of JRPGs, and for example I love Fire Emblem as a series but I played FE6 then DA2 back to back and I always felt the companions in DA2 were trash but I ended up really liking them again (except Anders) when my FE6 squad didn’t really have much to say at all. WRPGs do have the best companions (historically), which is attractive to a lot of people, then we end up with them twisting to appeal to these people which ruins them for everyone else.
>>735075808That's not a cutscene, just regular dialogue. I'm also talking more about animation. It's also better anyway, Esquie is a massive carebear that was made by a child.
>>735052998>She literally give zero indication that she's gay in the entirety of the first game. She actively lusts after men on a porn magazine in the car in the first game, but (((Druckmann))) the literal brain-damaged israeli chose to ignore/retcon that.
>>735075808I mean, yes, managing to make the wee and woo talk not embarassing to an adult takes skill.Hell, writing esquie competently takes skill, because he could have gone hard into big chungus territory,.
>>735047726Be quiet and humble when a non-buy-nary speaks.

>>735051915buy bitcoin
>>735075808Yes? Obviously? Esquie is a giant old child who makes good points, Taash is a giant child who throws fits and refuses to understand basic concepts.
>>735052536TLOU is weird because writers forget that people born AFTER post-apocalypse are busy with lots of shit, where gays and generations tags "boomers, millenials", cant exist anymore
>>735052509I know I'll get shit on for this but I like this concept on its own. It's shittily implemented as a wish fulfillment for the blue hairs, of people deadnaming, misgendering etc and then punishing themselves, but I like the idea of having it be a sort of go to apology to get past the problem so they can focus on more important issues.
>>735078286Or you can just be adults and not cry how you need an apology
/v/, why did you kill the last great WRPG franchise?
>>735078410Because of the DA2 combat demo. That made me wary enough that I pirated the game even though I loved DA:OHaven't given Bioware any money since

>>735064608It's impressive how much people like Gaider and Weekes can go from passionate gamedev putting in quality work, to tumblr authoritarians that can't help but write Temu-Whedon caricatures.
>>735076476>My mother was a hateful bitch that held grudges for decades and she tried to turn me into just like hersameeven after being divorced and remarrying she would endlessly bitch about my father who is a cool guy and a good person even if he's kind of financially illiterate.last year she tried to lock me in her basement, stole my phone and car keys, and wanted have me "committed" like it's the '60s so to get out of her house i RKO'd her husband and socked her in the face twice, prolly broke her jaw. i won't see her again until the funeral, probably, but it'll be another decade or two.stupid bitch. should have hit her twice more.

>>735082679>the worth of a person is defined by money!Go back to work, golem.
>>735053002Every single new Dragon Age game retcons the previous one almost entirely. It's hilarious how they can't keep at least *a little* bit of continuity. Mass Effect did a much better job at that. All things considered.

>>735050960>>735051134He gets shivved right at the end with the cherenkov's plot knife or if the inquisitor fucked him you can have an ending where they self-annihilate to escape the shitty franchise or something. I'm vague on the details but not making up its existence, and I'm still better informed than the people who fucking made this game. I wish we didn't focus on this bait shit and actually just collected the names of people involved and actively campaigned to have them begging on the street instead of working again. It's always the big evil companies that get the focus but every "writer" deserves a turn in the hague.
>>735087057The entire writing team was let go a year before release. The ones that stayed were either relocated to work on annual Battlefield releases until EA fires them, and Weekes is still unemployed. Jay Watamaniuk, I think, is the only person from the team that landed on his feet, not even Lukas Kristjanson.
>>735087221Yeah man the problem with the writing is that it was rushed, if only they had kept all those writers from Inquisition, the game would've been amazing!
>>735048805For some reason people now call Cisquisition good here. It just shows that this board is full of fucking newfags.
>>735087528I'm saying that nobody is currently working successfully as a writer anymore. Nobody is hiring them, and nobody is letting them write. Jay Watamaniuk is working for Sucker Punch now, if I recall, another pozed studio, nowadays. Was it Sucker Punch? Who are the guys making the "Ghost of" games? That's where he's working at, I think.

>>735089281the truth never gets replies. The narrative must come first.
The dialogue and cutscenes in Veilguard are so bad it borders on being unnerving.It feels like a really bad skit from a sensitivity training seminar, the writing staff at Bioware genuinely believe this is what normal human interaction is like and that blows my mind.
>>735091052Thats not the truth. It's just bullshit. Its the classic woke tactic of pretending to misunderstand terms and broadening their definition to include everything.
