What were the writers thinking the audience's reaction would be?
>>741669228That's the neat part, they don't think. That is why their writing is dogshit.
Its surreal how DA was the first real woke fantasy series, but it managed to get away with it because it let the MC fulfill so many basic power fantasies like sleeping with women as a noble or stabbing people who back sass you.
imagine killing every gen x higher up and dyed hair mentally dyke/troon responsible for this
>>741669228So, that thing with horns is male trying to be female?
>>741669228They are supremely insulated, mentally dead liberal progressive urbanites who think they have the only morality and aesthetic sense worth mentioning, so their horizons are profoundly narrow and they feel no shame or inadequacy by comparison of their own creations to actually ensouled, stimulating writing. They are like the closed-minded hyper-religious retards prior centuries, in fact their mindset of moralistic progressive idealism is very similar to a popular religion.
>>741669496>Its surreal how DA was the first real woke fantasy seriesDA:O had just one faggot. And, honestly, Zevran wasn't even that offensive. But everything from the character design to the writing in DA2 took a huge dip, and, well, let's not even bring Inquisition into the picture.I would like to remind people that Inquisition flopped and Bioware lied about it, though.
>>741669629It's technically female but makes a huge stink about being a "they/them" whenever possible. You even have to sit down to dinner with her mom and get caught between an argument over pronouns.
>>741669228>a quick tenshe only does 5 though
>>741669228>devs: how can we fuck up kids so they can like our secretly placed fetishes!Something like that.
>>741669629female trying to be "non-binary"
>>741669693Herren and Waid were gay iirc. Also if you count the women then Leliana is as well.
Audience?
>>741669753>>741669853So, born female then? It looks very masculine so I thought it was male to female.
>>741669629Taash is a biological female who "identifies" as non-binary. Why? Who knows. But its not enough, as always. She wants more attention, wants others to conform to her
>>741669693I would take 10 Zevrans over the garbage of today
>>741669916Bisexual women do not count. Especially ones you can have threesomes with that include more women. I don't remember who Herren and Waid are even. How would I even know they are faggots?
>>741669228It's shameful how low this franchise fell
>>741670007Zevran was a cool faggot.
>>741669853>Theyfab trying to feel special>Mom tells them off for being a retardbased
>>741669228Probably thought they were going to make some ebin new meme everyone would do if they made the local troon upset
>>741670062What franchise? It was one game followed by 3 flops. That's not a franchise.
>>741669693Zevran you wouldn't even know is gay unless you intentionally went prying, it's not his entire character. And when he propositions you, if you say no, that's it. Modern writers don't know how to nuance anything. Everything is done in extremes or is in your face constantly.
>>741669228Wasn't this character a murderer and if I remember right rapist in the earlier games?
>>741669228They didn't make the game for an audience; they made it for themselves.
>>741669228Move on with your life, brown man
>>741670157I dont understand you dragon age retards. Every one of you says one game is the best and the rest are shit, and all of you pick a different game
>>741670542>Every one of you says one game is the best and the rest are shit, and all of you pick a different gameWell, there are those that like Origins, and those that are wrong.
>>741669228Just imagine the levels of insane needed to write that, animate and then try to sell it with a straight face
This is basically digital circus
>>741669228I had the pleasure of working with people who had the complete opposite beliefs as me for a few years. Something like this would be seen as 'noble' in their circles. A brave examination of queer behavior, etc. Hang around enough upper class yuppies for awhile and you'll see this shit as tame.
>>741669228>What were the writers thinking?They're thinking deep from their ass that lecturing gamers with woke ideologies & agendas is better than entertaining gamers.
Pretty much any genderqueer person I've ever spoken to actually doesn't want attention drawn to accidental misgendering. You just quickly correct yourself and move on. Imagine if your homie accidentally called you "she" midgame because you play Invis in Rivals, then someone else goes "uh bro?" and then the first dude just goes "shit my bad hold up I gotta do ten squats rq." Retarded devs.
>>741670208True
>>741669496But it maek my peepee hard!
>>741669228What annoys me isn't that this scene exists. They can do this shit in their own game.It's that it doesn't fit what Dragon Age set before it, and it most DEFINITELY does not fit what Isabella was like in DA2.I actually used to love Dragon Age. Do this shit in your own series.
>>741670810Every genderqueer person I'VE spoken to (irl) DOES make a big deal over misgendering, if you don't immediately correct yourself. These people are not normal or reasonable, their entire existence is in bad faith
>>741669815They identify as 10
>>741670117>mom trying to understand and be sympathetic to daughter>"No mom! You don't understand! You suck!" storms away in a fitAnd the writer honestly thought people would side with their snowflake mental illness character.
>>741669629https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDKcevMFUCo
>>741669228They expected people to start soijacking
>>741669496>erm actually all the things you loved were woke anyway but this new stuff is TOO FARRR
>>741669228>What were the writers thinking the audience's reaction would be?Yasss queen.
>>741671286The only people who'd make a big deal out of it are retarded narcissists who were retarded narcissists before they became a tranny and they probably became a tranny in the first place to feed their retarded narcissism. I'm sorry you live in a shitty city.
>>741669629No, it's a female trying to deny that gender exists.
>>741671286>Every genderqueer person I'VE spoken to (irl)?Where do you live? I've met maybe one in my entire life and I travel a lot
You know, given how the industry is crashing and burning right now. I think they thought it didn't matter, cause they probably didn't think the money was gonna run out from equity management investors. Like for real, I don't think they thought about the audience at all.
>>741669228Just "fantasy" muk, throwing everything into a melting pot (in the semitic sense) and watching it turn turd brown. Meaningless, no distinct elements, no actual culture to be seen, just gross muk.
>>741669496The original DA games took every single racial prejudice that the factions had a s justified it. Mages were dangerous demon communers, and they were. Elves were violent, racist thieves and they were. Qunari were violent Muslim analogue savages, and they were. Humans were racist ethnonationalists, and they were. Every prejudice was valid. That's based.
>>741672089....Anon... only a retarded narcissist would become a tranny in the first place. Do you hear yourself? >>741672173I live in the south, but it was a job where I worked with people from all over the country. One tranny was from Michigan, the other from Chicago. I don't know where the third one was from. I checked my boss's resume and literally all five of her references had they/them pronouns listed. It's a fucking epidemic in certain fields, it can be as bad as social media sometimes
>>741672363there were a lot of faggots though and faggot shitwhich is unbased
ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT! EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD WHO DID A TRANSPHOBIA, DROP AN GIVE ME 20 BHARVS, NOW!
>>741672447It was based at the time. Believe it or not, underaged, "based" used to mean "going against the grain". Not "I agree with this"
>>741669228They don't have standards. Well, that's not entirely true, they do have standards: anything obviously good is actually bad because it's too familiar and boring, and can not possibly be a true expression of one's individuality, but must instead be a result of conformity to The Man.
>>741669228Who is the audience for this? I don't think most people who behave or think the way these people think is a significant portion of the real, actual audience.I hate seeing this kinda shit prevalent in modern medieval fantasy, it's like you can't escape from it here on the west.
>>741669228She is writing for TESVI now :)
>>741670593If inquisition was so bad why was it the most successful?
>>741672545>20 BHARVSThat's 200 push-ups...
>>741672721YOU HEARD ME, BIGOT SCUMBAG
>>741672663yeah, that shit is cooked. microsoft should cut them loose.
>>741672663It's not surprising at all. Feels like 80% of the writers do this kinda stuff nowadays.
>>741672675>>If inquisition was so bad why was it the most successful?People keep saying that, but nobody knows how much it sold. The only person that gave a number, was a person that doesn't work at EA, and can therefore say whatever number he wants. So define success.
>>741672721>he isn't bharvmaxing for infinite gainsngmialso you're a tranny (only saying that so I can rep another Bharv)
Liberal writers lack basic concepts that all humans possess, such as spirituality, transcendence, etc.If you've ever spent time with liberals, you know that writers are reproducing, one-to-one, the tiny, limited world in which they live. It doesn't matter whether it's in a realistic or fantasy game; the characters there are clones of the liberals who are writing them, because they truly cannot conceive of other realities or other points of view.In other words, they couldn't really imagine what players would think of this scene, because they aren't able to put themselves in other people's shoes. At most, they predicted that those so-called "chuds" (evil, strange beings who hate everything just for the sake of hating), would criticize it, but without any reason other than pure hatred.
>>7416727211 Bharv, 20 Bharv, how about I do none of 'em?
>>741669228Ideological indoctrination. It's the christian rock method as adopted by west coast liberals in service of their new secular religion of diversity and representation, spread through american cultural imperialism.They've cultivated these notions in bubbles and echo chambers for all their lives, so entirely unchallenged by the realities of our world that they don't even know the evil they do.
>>741669228They probably thought that the audience would applaud and shout "Stunning and brave!"
>>741669228Ive seen this webm before, I still have no idea what the fuck it means.
>>741673742>they truly cannot conceive of other realities or other points of view.Gotta agree, it really does seem to be the case. In my experience, whenever those people write, it always end up being about them.I get that people write what they know, but they don't have to make it all about themselves. They need to think first and foremost about the world the world and setting they are writting to, the greater story.It should not be about them, their personal life dramas, their life experiences, modern problems, etc. why can't modern writers understand that?Shit sucks man.
>>741673971banality of evil do be like that
>>741673971There's a reason why it's always pitbulls who get trained to be killers and not pugs. I'm sure that without the indoctrination, some of them would be relatively normal people, but you can predict the majority of people's behaviors and beliefs by looking at their genes. They're not brainwashed, they're mutants.
>>741674028The writer who made this part of the game script was a transgender man who had made posts while the game was in development describing how he would often have fantasies of forcing people who misgender him IRL to get down on the floor and do pushups, like some sort of pathetic revenge fantasy. He seriously posted about this on twitter. Anyway, he decided to put his exact revenge fantasy into the game in a really weird and forced way and that is the origin of the "Bharv" concept of doing pushups when you misgender
>>741669963>Taash is a biological female who "identifies" as non-binary. Why? Who knows.It's because the cuck of a lead writer came out as "non-binary" at the time and tried to do what Gaider did with Dorian, except Weekes doesn't have the talent that Gaider has so Taash is a shit character with no redeeming qualities that acts like a moody teenager..
>>741674792It is funny to see the difference >dorian's father tried to brainwash him so he rightfully doesn't trust his father and doesn't want to deal with his bullshit>taash's mother legit tries to understand what's going on because it's legitimatly confusing for someone raised in the qun and taash gets mad about it and throws a fit
>>741669510This would help fix so much of the Western gaming industry
>>741669228This has to be money laundering.
>>741674882It's even stupider because apparently there is a Qun word for it, but Taash still gets upset and insist her mother use the term "nonbinary", and at that point it becomes obvious that the writer is just using the character as a soapbox.
>>741670117>>741671697https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23jqYV8FVcI
>>741669228I FEEL SO VALIDATED FOR REAL ONG DEADASS SKIBIDI
>>741674632That's weird man
>>741669228I am 10000% that someone wrote this in the hopes that it would, unironically, become a thing.
>>741669228>It worked for BG3, it'll work for us!
stunning and brave applauseveilguard was a remarkable shitshow on so many levels development wise but the silent killer was both of the two vets who wound up in charge by the end (epler and weekes) genuinely went down the insane lefty rabbit hole (weekes nonbinaried out too and it's painfully obvious taash is his angsty stand in), like without someone tardwrangling them your baby is dead in the womb when the guys in charge no longer feel comfortable depicting slavery since they're white devs while setting the game in the fucking slave run empire -to give one example of their derangement. on one level you can't blame EA for them losing their shit after inquisition, on the other hand the fact they barely paid attention or when they did gave retarded directions is why it all went wrong
>>741669228This is why you gatekeep women and fags

writing so bad it made a new slur for trannies
>>741671697It's hilarious because the mom is like, "Oh sweetie, we already have a word for this in our native language." but they are so insistent that it's not the same.
>>741677474what new slur?
>>741677302>the game didn't fail because of us, the game must have failed because [corpo nonsense about marketing, release dates, target audiences and whatever]!>Some suit who never played a single game nor cares pretends to agree and hires them
>>741669228>Isabela is the opposite of a fan favorite character>They STILL managed to ruin herHow did they do itIt takes talent to do all the wrong things
>>741669228they truly believed that the modern audience exists and they want this disgusting slop shit
>>741678046They don't care. One of the tranny writer put his entire blog in the game, for goodness sake.
>>741671697>whole schtick is being nonbinary>end of xir's story forces you to make a binary choice on being more qunari or rivaincan't make that up

>>741669228>Oh, okay.Kek. Exactly how I'd react too.
>>741669510>>741675000Killing that type of people would do alot more good than just saving the gaming industry
>>741670542I've literally never heard anyone claim any DA game other than Origins is the best. Origins is generally considered a good game. Inquisition is more polarizing, I've seen people who like it and people who hate it. I have never ever encountered anyone who said DA2 and DATV are good.
>>741678612This isn't reddit faggot. Go there if you want updoots.
>>741669228
>>741670208>And when he propositions you, if you say no, that's it.most rpg romances are like that
>>741676030BG3 doesn't really have a cutscene like that, the closest you get is a note tucked away in a hidden corner of a lategame dungeon which implies that shadowheart beat up people who misgendered her tranny friend. But it's not like its given much significance or cutscene budget.
>>741677302No matter how badly they fuck up, there will always be some nepotistic retard at another big company waiting to vouch for them
>>741672363Da2 continued it then. In fact, it was even more based because this faction that the game paints as being unjustifiably prejudiced against actually were evil blood mages conspiring with demons. It turns the whole "innocent minority" trope on its head.
>>741670542none of them were even good, the first one was the only half decent one the rest are just consolized garbage
>>741669228They definitely thought "pulling a barve" would take off, at least among lefty audiences.
>>7416812202 was better than 1. Dice roll combat is boring.
>>741681490>i don't have time to apologize so instead i'm going to drop what i'm doing and do pushupsIt doesn't even make sense.
>>741670542>>741670593>>741679291Origins is the only one with a good story, Inquisition is the only one with good gameplay and visuals.
They didn't think anything, because they thought the Blackrock money meant they could ignore audiences without consequences. I guess even Larry Fink's pockets aren't bottomless.
chudsissies, our response?
>>741669228These shitheads probably insulate themselves with narcissistic faggots JUST LIKE THESE CHARACTERS who take every opportunity to flaunt their virtue. They probably unironically talk like this in California and just assume so does everyone else in the world.
This guy self inserted him self into your video game, because his dad kept calling him a faggot.
>>741682053>Things that didn't happen for 500Probably dreamt up that story all morning while dilating.
>>741670007At the same time or one after the other?
>>741682053Do people really write this dog shit out on reddit and not get called out for it? They just take it as red that a piece of 'creative' writing is rea?
>>741682349Anon, the subreddit in the screen shot is called "socialist gaming", they're already brain dead.
>>741682512Good point
>>741669693Zevran was an excellently-written character and if you have anything negative to say about him, you yourself are a bigger faggot than Freddie Mercury.
>>741679053Yeah because GTA is well known for having never ever been played by anyone under 18 years old, even once!
>>741670683Do those people play video games?
>>741682053what a pathetic fanfiction, i wonder if it was a writer for the game
>>741677302It's because it reviewed well, which is all that matters. After that if it fails to sell, it's the fault of the publisher. No one cares about the opinion of the unwashed chud masses.
>In every other Dragon Age game you could just ignore the party members you didn't like>In Veilguard they'll show up on missions and in cutscenes when they aren't in your party>Also the good ending isn't achievable unless you do all the companion quests. >If you don't act as a therapist to Taash, enduring her bratty teenager-like attitude and contrived gender issues, then you get the bad ending (everyone dies in the bad ending)They actually hate the fact that you control the buttons you press.I don't think they considered how people would react at all. They can't do proper speculative fantasy because they see the video game medium as just another vehicle for progressive ideas. The perceived quality is irrelevant.
>>741682053One of the worst game-related fanfictions I've ever seen
>>741675595Also>Insists on snowflake gender fluidity>Insists that there can't be a Dragon King, only queens.
>>741669228a LITERAL humiliation ritual. impressive. Simply by being around a they/xim, the straightie is getting punished
>>741669945Females that fall into the tranny shit are usually unattractive or have masculine features, which causes their identity issues, that or it's because they got raped.
>>741669228>What were the writers thinkingHow can we destroy norms? How can we spread marxism? How can we force ugly women? How can we bash white men? Probably.
>>741671039I feel like going back to DA1, and apologizing to sten. He was more than just right about everything gender related.
>>741669228We need a sexual offenders list but for 2000s hack writing. I'm tired of seeing "writer" I want names, I want a digital background check and a vetting so any game they're involved in has a flag on it so innocent 40 year old autists with too much spare time on their hands like me are kept safe.
>>741682053I literally stopped gaslighting my wife, put down my 'World's Greatest Nazi' mug, stared at the screen and renounced the golden god emperor after reading this...
>>741685936A caste system makes slightly more sense when they also had a built in post-birth filter and eugenics program. Don't have to worry about hereditary shift if you literally just pick what people do post birth regardless of sire. Of course it only works because somehow the triumvirate government system of the qunari seems to be relatively free of corruption or else the breeding pens could fuck everything (heh) so it's still fantasy bullshit, but I give credit to the fact that it would work better than any real caste system that basically becomes trash two generations in.
>>741669815And they're bent-knee bitch pushups, too. Not one of their motion capture employees could do an actual pushup.
>>741682053People lying on the internet everyone clapped but nice self-admission the only person who could enjoy veilguard would have to completely turn off their brain and enjoy the pretty lights combat Shame it's not even a particularly good arcade game but still.
>>741679291I'm that mysterious person.2 > 4 > 1 > 3
>>741686623I do not consider you a person.
>>741686623You really shouldn't be proud of that.
>>741686646Um... can I get a Bharv? That wasn't very nice of you, anon.
>>741669228Their goal was nothing more than to put their dogshit message into the game for kids to see. That's it, they don't care about anything else, and they succeeded.
>>741669228>oh, trannies have it this hard? It's time to be a better man.
>>741686721yeah here's your bharv buddy>BHAAARRRRRRRRV
>>741669228Their control groups have been fat fujos from tumblr and discord trannies which moved their motherbase to twitter and the other twitter
>>741679291Well we got one apparently go talk to him, they seem fun.>>741686623I can vaguely devil's advocate for DA2 if I inhale enough paint vapours and point out I think a game that spans decades rather than all happening at once is interesting even if very poorly executed in practice. There's also the fact that people might just like a particular DA2 character enough to somehow ignore everything else. That's the best I can do though.
>>741686813I'm just very anti press-forward simulator, and I appreciate tight level design. I am open world's biggest hater. It's cool if people like it, but I don't. The worst part is when the Japs gave Skyrim 40/40 in Famitsu and every other company was like OH WE GOTTA RUIN OUR FRANCHISE IMMEDIATELY.
>>741671039Isn't the world about to end in the game? Yet they have all the time in the world to do this crap.
>>741686948If you're not in a healthy emotional state, how can you expect to save the world?>inb4 i'm a man so i'll bottle it up and take it out on my kids in 10 years
>>741686921Well, I can't fault you for recognising DA2 really uh, agreed with you about tight level design. All like 6 levels mildly swapped around, but I can see the logic and also recognise that yes, open world poorly executed is just as fucking miserable. Thanks for explaining regardless.
They thought it'd be funny and maybe it'd become a real thing. Then they saw the sales numbers.
>>741686948Player urgency dissonance is a pretty common game problem. Veilguard is fucked in so many unique ways but it hardly sticks out for failing to provide narrative explanations for dicking around as the rape demon is summoned or something.
>>741669228there were leaked emails or something which show they think rpg fans will show up regardless of what they put in the game, so they should try to court an additional audience by making it gay and retarded
Asian elf is cute.
>>741687192The in-game excuse btw if nobody has played it is that they have a month till the astrological event in which the big bad will do his ritual and become unstoppable. So they're like, well, might as well handle our personal problems first.
>>741687219They're right. You are cattle.
>>741687297except nobody bought this game and definitely not rpg fansshouldn't you be on resetera telling everyone how you epicly owned the 4chan chuds or something?
>>741669228Someone post the blog post of the Dragon Age Veilguard dev saying they can put any shit in their game because they assumed that fans will buy it anyway
>>741687262>if nobody has played it.I mean it's /v/, but also it's veilguard so yeah. That's actually a boring if servicable explanation.
>>741687373>except nobody bought this game and definitely not rpg fansI bought it. I even bought a copy of Game Informer with VG on the cover, because it was the last issue of the last circulated print gaming magazine in the US. End of an era.
>>741669228lmao barve meme was their thought processthey didnt expect chuds to laugh at it instead of with it
>>741687467so you're the cattle? ok
>>741669631>>741678612You are correct and your post is witnessed.
>>741687547I wasn't the anon who called you that. But I'll moo if you it'll make you happy.
>Maker's pantiesmost trooncel writing i ever

>>741669228They made Isabella into a milfy slutty pajeeta.
>>741669510I do, often.
>>741669228funny how I somehow thought after Inquisition and waiting all those years for a sequel they would actually drop the fucking woke since it obviously did only hurt their brand, holy shit was I wrong.
>>741669228>an Asian elf Well Herro
>>741669228>What were the writers thinking the audience's reaction would be?They weren't they're largely needy narcists, who treat a project like this to validate themselves and their movement. The giant troon is just a self-insert for the director, whom is also a troon, and they wanted to go on tv and do interviews about how liberating this is and get praise for how amazing they are and are fighters for the good fight. This is liek that Pebbletoss comic that ends with "...burgers?"They're financially removed from whether the product sells or not, so they try to maximize their benefits by promoting themselves and trying to impress their peers. Twitter addiction goes hand in hand with this.
>>741669228Deydems thick
>>741684893>the straightieBut Isabela fucks everything with a pulse.
>>741669693back then the whole homo shit was more of a novelty, it was mature and dark to put these themes in a game and did not glorify them. You could kill Zevran the moment you meet him, which I did on every playthrough.

>>741683692>then you get the bad ending (everyone dies in the bad ending)That's the good ending tho.
>>741687902The troon who directed VG did a good job tho of pulling that shit together after the absolute nightmare of development hell it was in. People over emphasize the leftie memes, but you notice that aren't that many of them? It's actually kind of a prudish game, in comparison to the rest of the series. It's internet memers who beat you over the head with it, not the game. 'course, nobody knows that on account of not having played it. Also, Taash is an autist and a bro, and aside from the theyfab nonsense she'd probably end up the favorite character of a lot of chuds.

>one of Dragon Age's biggest draws, even Bioware's main schtick, is its romances>think surely they nailed that in Veilguard>nope>companions have more chemistry and flirt with each other more than they do with you>companions are also better friends with each other than they are with Rook, you are literally just their therapistIts really fucking hilarious, my friend who played got so mad how he wanted to romance Neve, but since he had Lucanis in the party all the time too they would flirt with each other and made him feel like he's getting cucked.

>>741673469Call me Bharvin Marvin
>>741688167>no one likes it because no one played it!lol
>>741673971>all that word vomit
>>741689697I'm not saying it's the guy shitting gold onto a plate meme, but BioWare got so much better at character animations which everyone memed on them about for years, but no one knows because nobody played it. And like, the combat is fun? The levels have verticality to them, which is very cool. Ah, as a Veilguard appreciator I suffer.
Didn't the writing team or the entire dev team get fired?
>>741672642Consequences of critical theory and intersectionalism infesting liberal arts programs in every Western university. It's poison to aesthetics and art.
>>741669228They expected delight and admiration. Because that is exactly what happened a year earlier with BG3, which was precisely the same, featuring that very same Californian-millennial fantasy with the spotlight on modern 'issues' like squatter rights, migrants, and faggotry.
>>741687390That was Gaider talking about the attitude of upper management. Though I was always a little suspicious that he has tried to separate himself a bit too much. He used to do genuinely good work but he was also the prototype for the sort of obnoxious writing that has become so common these days.

>>741670542Who won WW4 in your timeline, you dimension hopping schizo?
>>741683692Overall I think after ME success BioWare started to focus too much on companions. Treating them as main feature rather than an additional content to the story.
>>741682349I remember even reddit mogged and called out this post. There was another post by that OP who tried to appear smug trying to validate that this was all real and not just a fever dream.>>741677302do you think HR actually plays games. At most they look at the resume which says 'writer on DA (Veilguard)so they google it for a second and see IGN 9/10all these companies like to fullfill gender quotas and the easiest place to staff them is hr, writing, teamlead, design
>>741673742That is mostly correct, especially the lack of ability to even comprehend other viewpoints. But, they're a kind of weird post-modernist progressive fusion, that spun out of late 70s continental philosophy. Mostly via Foucault who took over American academia. It's mostly built on a reading of Nietzsche's view that in a nihilistic universe, concepts and ideas can't exist, which they take as a carte blanche to reject and "deconstruct" every concept big or small (patriotism, whiteness, marriage, monogaphy, male, female, gender, etc). They call this social constructivism, and it's highly academic in its origins, and it attracts highly sketchy people.
>>741669496because first dragon age had actual agencyyou had no choice whether or not to sit and listen to woke tard coming out as trans
>>741676030The game I played and the game you didn't played isn't the same. Or is it? Retard.
>>741690070>nyooo BG3 was actually turbo woke and a massive victory for the people I hate Why do you culture war faggots want to lose so badly? You're just inventing things to get mad over.

>>741669228how /fit/ would the average anon be if they did this unironically?
>>741677302a malicious cabal set on the destruction of all things enjoyed by the average guy is simply becoming the most believable explanation at this point.
>>741693063BG3 was woke as fuck and it is the ONLY win they had in DECADE ffsWe should acknowledge it and don't let it happen againLarian must be destroyed just like CD Red with their wokepunk2077
>>741675000>>741669510cool it with the antisemitism you guys
>>741674632Misgendering someone isn't a huge deal anyway, just say sorry or something and correct yourself. I'll be damned if I start doing fucking push-ups because I misgendered someone. And having the character miagender someone and start doing it is really odd.
>>741692417Not surprising in the least
>>741669228prone bone with conquistador lady
>>741693015Yes, of course.
>>741669228>these are the people telling you touch some grassAre woketards just low IQ autists?
>>741669631Yeah, ironically them and Cletus are were similar
>>741669228>makes an error>immediate looks of condescending disgust>go beyond to apologize>still looks of condescending disgustPerfectly written - never apologize, never even accomondate.
>>741669228They thought the audience would be incredible moved because in the parasitic leftoid brain doing things like allowing Pfizer to chemically and physically castrate you is not only seen as a form of resisting capitalism on par with worshipping the negro, it's also the culmination of a grand pilgrimage that started with your fat lesbian teacher in pre school. So being a retarded dork that demands people refer to them as they is something they see as incredibly brave, powerful, evolutionary and not cringe attention seeking behavior at all
>>741669496Fuck off with this revisionist garbage, DAO was literally the most unwoke 3d game and still is.>>741669693Roman empire was also woke for having catamite slaves I guess.>>741672363Qunari weren't muslim, they were platonist, but islam was influenced by platonism as well, that's why they banned music.
>>741670208Zevran is not gay, he's a premodern sodomite, there is no mention of gay in the game because it's 20th century construct.
>>741695828Holy cope
>>741695898Shut your slut mouth before I come to fill it up.
>>741686921So you should prefer DA1 since it's not open world, and has much better level design than DA2.
>>741669228What's even more hilarious is Taash didn't even notice or seem to give a fuck. Bellara was offended for her, and seemed uncomfortable that she used the wrong pronouns. It's just stupid writing. I guess it was meant to show that Bellara is a "good friend" for feeling uncomfortable for her friend, who I guess...didn't want to show her disdain? Taash in that seem literally does not even notice or give a shit, so I don't know why the writers made such a big deal out of it. What's even worse is I tried to play this game, and it wasn't bad from a gameplay/story element, like some of the party members are fine and the combat and exploring is fun, but Taash is the worst party member and I couldn't stand her. I mean, luckily you only have to deal with her every now and again for her storyline. If you take Taash out of the game, it'd improve the game. I'm able to look past most "woke" retardness, but when it's just shoved in the player's face like this game did, then it does annoy me. Gay character in the game? Whatever. Dorian was popular and most people didn't even mind him. He was charismatic and fun. That didn't really bother me. This whole pronoun and trans journey was obnoxious and then the scene with Taash's mom and Taash coming out to her as agender or whatever was cringe. You can tell someone on the writing team was trans, and their parents disowned them or shamed them for coming out to them because they didn't understand probably. I wonder if any heterosexual people were even on the writing team, because from what I could tell it was an entirely LGBTQ+ writing team. It had to be. There was at least one trans person for sure, but probably more.
>>741691110Veilguard just throws any subtlety out of the window and puts in a whole bunch of modern terms when past games at least tried to integrate their libshit stuff into the setting. It feels like they just gave up on trying to make an interesting fantasy setting and just made it "LA with fantasy races".
>>741695749>autists are immune to propaganda.bmp Poor retards, like lambs to the slaughter.

>>741673742>have liberal friends>whenever we talk politics, it somehow loops around to RICH WHITE OLD MEN BAD>always have to explain to them that the issues they talk about are CLASS issues, not RACE issues and that there a many non-white problem players out there like Saudi oligarchs and whatever so focusing on just white men is retarded>they literally drop dead silent while their brain processes this>can't come up with any counter arguments and have to concedeFucking funny, every time. They can't even hate me for it.
>>741687219>leaked emails or something
>>741696838You might be making some progress. These kind of midnsets have been around for a bit, but social media made them all harmonize and get into group thinky simplistic solutions. The real world has nuance. Social media does not.
>>741696838Class is just distraction from race. I have infinitely more in common with a rich person of my culture than with a Nugubu of the same profession. It was always about race and commies and libs are on the same side.
This dragon age shit has always been awkward stunted jank
>>741697334Yeah maybe, they are rational people who just spent too much time in a bubble.>>741697367There are race issues out there, but the stuff they talk about is really strictly class stuff.
>>741696838They believe in the race argument that America has been putting forward for 200.You can't scream about 'NIGGERS' and how white men are superior without also having someone make the next logical connection that if white men should and do run America, the bad stuff in America is THEIR fault.Power begets responsibility, does it not?>>741697367 is a perfect example of the kind of mindset America wants to cultivate.
>>741669228they think everyone who doesn't buy into their bullshit just needs to be "educated" about it like a PBS special.these scenes are just the writers acting out their own personal social scenarios from their head.
>>741697052Was that article only last year? God damn. You can see why Miyazaki is taking over nerds with games like Elden Ring or Sekiro or Dark Souls III. These companies just assume boring white men (btw, nerd boys come in all shapes, races, and colors but they just assume nerds are white males) will show up and do as they are told because they'll eat the slop. Instead, we need to try to woo women, trans, queer, bipoc, and any other flavor. Twitter said this was a GREAT idea. >>741697367People of a similar background get along. I instantly click with "nerds" of foreign cultures, since urbanized educated pepole aren't that different, and we all consume the same media. My girlfriend grew up watching City Hunter on those cheap tv stations they have that run 80s anime on loop. Through broken english we can click on these things. One major difference is that foreign peoples tend to be more religious and socially conservative.
>>741669496>Its surreal how DA was the first real woke fantasy series,Nah. First one was Star Wars.
>>741696838>>741696838Run thought experiments like:>what if every single person outside of Africa instantly died. Africans then re-populate the world. Would this fix anything?Or:>Every single male dies, and women gain the ability to reproduce without them, thus making the population 100% female. Have they defeated the patriarchy?Your basic bitch feminist will remind you that the patriarchy isn't just control by men, women can do it too, and it's a series of nominal values and norms. ie they can fight vague abstractions for millennia. Or:>You have 100 trillion dollars to fix this problem. Can you defeat white supremacy, the patriarchy, capitaism, or any other ill lefties decry?Note: Patriarchy, capitalism, white supremacy, etc are ideals, and you can in theory fight them forever since they're vaguely defined.
>>741690070>no build varietyThat is an outright lie.The game actually captures D&D tabletop character builds better than any game since 2005.
>>741697621Or:>Imagine any large urban center in Sub-Saharan Africa. How do the police act? In all likelihood just by sheer numbers, there's probably a police officer beating the shit out of someone somewhere. But remember, white supremacy and racism supposedly lie behind American police brutality. Moving examples outside of USA shows how simplistic and silly they can get. It also shows that they may be confusing corelation with cause. ie darkies tend to be poor, thus more likely to be involved in crime, thus more likely to get the shit kicked out of them by coppers. The same dynamic plays outside of the west, but it tends to be invisible since the poors getting the shit kicked out of them are similar to everyone else. Though thirdies themselves have their insane convoluted asinine race politics.
>>741697571>nerd boys come in all shapes, races, and colorsThey genuinely don’t, but keep living in a fantasy world if you want to not believe me.
>>741697774Or think about poor little Kinshasa. No one gives a shit about it, despite it being one of the largest cities in the world. Lefties tend to be very sheltered and Africa and elsewhere tends to be vague concepts at best. They are way more likely on average to not know what the hell Kinshasa is or where it is.
>>741697621>Would this fix anything?Only so much, because western powers are still attempting to practice neo-colonialism in Africa, to the point of funding terrorist organizations, and forcing African nations it can bully to buy/sell cheap natural goods to Europe.On top of being less than 100 years out of actual colonial slavery. People's grandparents can still remember when they had to bow to pictures of the King of England, or remember the savagry of Leopold.> vaguely defined>white supremacyHas been very well defined since 1920 by W.E.B. DuBois. You just do not know because you haven't read a book, and rely on histrionic tiktok arguments that are artificially boosted by the algorithm.The same algorithm that will delete your channel if you show more than 15 videos of white people 'chimping out'. Strange, isn't it?>capitalism>vaguely definedJesus Christ, you are a zoomer, aren't you?
>>741697774>ie darkies tend to be poor, thus more likely to be involved in crime, thus more likely to get the shit kicked out of them by coppersNow the why.Your average American will say it's race or genetics, rather than Sidanious' Social Dominance Order, or the US govt admitting that decades of racist practices that destroyed black businesses and stole wealth is the reason black people as a group are so poor.America got the negroes it deserved. Shit, Moynihan and Clarke both said to the govt that if you do not uplift black people, black people would pull the nation down to their level. This is what you wanted.
>>741697913Kinshasa became such a large city fairly recently, as Africa just had a baby boom, gaining almost 500 million additional people across the continent in less than 2 generations.It's why Bill Gates is trying to fund contraception efforts in Africa; the elites fear a black tide swamping Europe, especially if they are backed by China.
>>741697506You can run your mouth all you like, your actions refute all your drivel.
>>741697621>capitalism is an idealYou might have a point that this specific niche of retards thinks of it that way, but it's actually an economic system that very much could be ended. I don't think even the most hardcore Marxist thinks of capitalism as some abstract evil and flaw in the soul to be fought for all eternity.
>>741674158>I get that people write what they know, but they don't have to make it all about themselvesI feel like it's more accurate to say people write about what they find interesting. If the only thing you find interesting is what your bubble says you should feel is interesting (progressive causes like gender and race bullshit) then it'll fail to appeal to anyone outside of that very small bubble. And you know what, that's absolutely fucking fine, you should feel free to write about shit that interests you, but you shouldn't expect it to get a huge market just because. That's not how mass media works.If you wanna become a good writer, you need to be open to new things. And I don't mean open to more kinds of oppressed minorities who struggle with raising awareness of neopronouns or renaming Father's Day, I mean you need to go out and talk to people from all walks of life and sides of the political spectrum. That's the only way you'll be able to escape your bubble and write something that interests more than just your tiny bubble. And of course most modern writers don't do this, and this is why mainstream media is by and large flopping.
>>741697052Well they are right. Even here there's retards who'll buy and play anything.
>>741698193>It's why Bill Gates is trying to fund contraception efforts in AfricaHe isn't, he's funding child-mutilation programmes in Africa, he's perpetuating Jewish lies. Ironic that Bill Gates himself had syphilis. >the elites fear a black tide swamping EuropeAfrican ferility rates are falling just like they are in other places of the world, Africa will drop below replacement ferility rates in less than 50 years, possibly sooner as recent predictions show a faster and faster drop in fertility..

They're terrible at appealing to the general public but from 2014 to 2024 aaa stuffed their companies with these people to appeal to Jewish investment firms who only recently slowed down their handouts. And now they're stuck with them, and we're stuck with them.
>>741697367based bootlicker
>>741700389>Current birth rate average in Africa is 6.8.Your info is decades out of date, Africa's current fertility rate in 2026 is 3.9, it was 5.2 in 2000, a drop of 1.3 every 25 years or so would mean Africa would reach below replacement fertility rate sometime between 2050-2060. >Nothing in your trite infograph says 'Why' it's supposed to drop off,I think it's a valid assumption given how Africa's fertility rate has decreased in the past, and given how the rest of the world's fertility rates have also decreased. Why do you think that Africa alone will buck the decreasing fertility rate trend?
same image dump posts every time. fuck off dragonarian
>>741679696YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BUY IT ANYWAY, CHUUUUD
>>741701009>Africa's current fertility rate in 2026 is 3.9Where?Are you referring to subsaharan Africa, northern or some combination of both?>Why do you think that Africa alone will buck the decreasing fertility rate trend?All the nations that haven't had a birth rate drop off all have 1 thing in common.What is that thing?
>>741669228It's politician brainrot.If /pol/ did a game it would be the same shit but right wing.You would get to see a game that use terms like based and SJW unironically.Internet shit should stay on the internet, not contaminate games with it's shitness.
>>741693884Yeah but in bg3 you can kill every brown and faggot you see so, it was kind of based as well.
>>741701134You can kill the tranny in Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear. Yet, 'woke game'.
>>741701097>Are you referring to subsaharan Africa, northern or some combination of both?3.9 for Africa as a whole, different sources say 4.12-4.2 for sub-saharan Africa. >All the nations that haven't had a birth rate drop off all have 1 thing in common.Birth rates are decreasing everywhere, there is no nation on Earth whose birth rates today are considerably lower that they were 20 years ago.
>>741682349>and not get called out for it?uhm, that's against the rediquette, mkay
>>741701249Also the tranny at the carnival in bg3, I killed him immediately, didnt even do his quest.
>>741699443>Well they are right.Where were they for DA?
>>741701260>doesn't knowIt's alright, the 'elites' rarely are honest.Industrialization is the problem, combined with Briffault's Law.Less agrarian culture -> less need for children as a resource -> less children.

>>741701116>You would get to see a game that use terms like based and SJW unironically.kek, why would anyone need to make a "right wing" game to make fun of them, lefties and liberals already do a great fucking job of making fun of themselves for usyou can literally make liberals mad with shit like Frieren where demons are treated like demons and doesn't do the "what if they were le GOOD?" or just making a game about a straight protagonist getting married and having kids. They literally threw a sissyfit when they saw that image of Bayonetta with kids

>>741701116>>741702394I prefer picrel. But anyways, they/them are transparent.
>>741669496can a game be considered woke if you are allowed to kill or maim the characters lecturing you? I say if you are allowed to take their woke inserts and shove shit into their mouth and call out all their goals and ideals as evil, then it can not be considered to be a woke game.A woke game is like veilguard where no matter how much you will it, you will never escape from the therapy speak or the holier-than-thou virtue shit that makes no sense.
>>741702427>>741702463I mean I've seen the screenshots of the ham-fisted, cringey "I'm non-binary" shit, and haven't played Veilguard because it just seems like a steaming pile of garbage, but man, they did not go that far, did they?First they kill Mass Effect via Andromeda, then they kill Dragon Age via Veilguard.What's even left?
>>741702717>What's even left?there is plenty of culture to destroy still
>>741671589heh
It should be a crime to allow millennials and faggy gen xers to write anything

>>741695562They're worse because at least lower class religious people, no matter how stubborn, are honest about the source of their convictions. >sodomy is evil because god said soTheir position on the issue is clear and that leaves what's left of their brain to focus on other things.Meanwhile 115 IQ libtards weave elaborate rationalizations for why their beliefs are the scientifically-proven universal beliefs that everyone would arrive at if they were only smart and well-educated enough. This generates a never-ending, all-consuming spiral of cognitive dissonance and contradiction.

>>741703309i mean, plenty? they have essentially infinite money because the economy is just a hallucination everyone agreed to share, we're still getting "womyn stronk" games nowadays but that might be because the development began like 5 years agoso, they'll continue trying because there is no reason not to
>>741701116>SJW unironicallyWhy would SJW ever need to be used ironically?They literally exist. They've always been the front lines of the culture war. I've met some. They are explicitly trained activists who seek out positions in cultural institutions in order to promote specific narratives. They will usually believe some BS about "helping marginalized groups" but the language is all just obfuscation for intersectional feminism AKA western marxism AKA scapegoat straight white men for everything to gain political power via the maoist red/black playbook.(An SJW who reads this will almost certainly report it to the mods for being frank)

>>741697678How does it feel to be the first person to actually read that image?
>>741703690bioware was so infested with those things that the studio was basically hollowed out after this game failed miserably.
>>741696838Even>Old men... are the future!Makes more sense than old women being the "future" look at new GoW, it's not even a child/youngling that replaces Kratos it's an old feminist roastie lmao! They are pushing the "the future is female" to such an extent it might be considered accelerationism.
>>741703847Lol why does anyone hire them? Can't be their skills when the writing is like in this game
>>741703950Because they’re not hired for their skills, they are hired for their allegiance to the ideology.
>>741702717Yes they did all the while EA execs were breathing on their necks to ensure that they make a "safe" selling products. So you have to imagine that too, the execs told them that no they cannot make a multiplayer game because it's not safe, make a single player like the first 3 entries, but all this gay shit to those exec slavers is totally "safe" (((financially))).
>>741669228There was no audience.They got a lot of sales from idiots like leftists that buy games for the sole reason of "owning da chuds" and right wing grifters for their youtube channel.Doesn't matter cause the government paid for the salaries of the CEOs and put their message across that tranny games aren't going away. Quit the hobby and go die for Israel.
>>741704047Well that ideology is already dying. They can't keep losing money forever, not even Blackrock can take the damage over time. All we need to do is not buy their slop
>>741698304To be anti white is to be human, to be pro white is to be anti human.What you call anti whiteness is the practical application of justice.
>>741697367You literally have no understanding of a in group and rich people would have you and your entire family butchered for your organs without blinking.That's not even getting into the 50% of your fellow whites that want you exterminated as a matter of sanity. Your focus on race will literally end with you being tortured to death by people you delude yourself into thinking are part of your in group.
>>741704226they can absolutely keep losing money until the money printer makes your currency worthless and the parasite moves on
>>741701116This.See cringe shit like Pokemon clover.
It's a westranny social sim, so given the target audience, they have no reason to not think it would sell. People just lost interest in the IP after 10 years on the ice.
>>741703015> This generates a never-ending, all-consuming spiral of cognitive dissonance and contradiction.Only if you deny reality instead of looking at the facts.
>>741669228>no time for big drawn out apologies>but time enough to do ten push-ups (slowly) while telling the story of a guy you knew who started a tradition of doing ten push-ups (slowly) instead of saying a quick "sorry" and moving onSten would kill all of you in a blind rage
>>741704226>Well that ideology is already dyingIt's more popular than ever now that the right wing basically discredited itself.
>>741686623Extremely embarrassing.
Fantasy is a inherently shit genre. Society as a whole is slowly starting to realize that. Shit like this a last desperate gambit to try and make fantasy palatable to the mainstream before it vanishes forever, relegated almost entirely to romantasy books for horny women and Isekai trash.
>>741704565>it's real because I want toThat's called the sin of pride and it has come to define your entire being.

>>741697954>People's grandparents can still remember when they had to bow to pictures of the King of England, or remember the savagry of LeopoldLeopold II died in 1909, if your grandparents remember his reign, they'd be AT LEAST 117 years old. How many congolese live to be over 100?
>>741669228>*clap clap clap clap* "so progressive!"
>>7417047791: Bible is fake. 2: It's laughable for you to discredit pride when unearned pride is the entire basis of your ideology
>>741704868NTA, but learn to read. He's pointing out that Leopold 2 was known as a insane butcher even after he died. Much like most people in 1860 would still know about Napoleon.
>>741695562Cletus is aware that he has no idea about any of them communist countries like France and Berlin. Those people think that they are enlightened.
>>741669228LOL!
>>741669228>not a whole lot of time for big aapologies>so we do ten push ups>misgendering requires a huge apologyThink of how swole you'd be for doing 10 reps every time you misgendered someone
>>741669510if only
>>741705000I can read fine, the implication of that wording is that these people remember the savagery of Leopold firsthand. Do not blame me for misleading sentences, I shall have none of it.

>>741681608>Inquisition is the only one with good gameplay and visuals.Singleplayer mmorpg gameplay is fun to you?
>>741670542dragon age 2 is the best and the rest are shit
>>741705201>The implicationNo? The implication is mostly that time has largely caused people to forgot how psychotically brutal and pointlessly evil white colonialism is. Hitler was unironically the greatest gift to white society because by killing him they could pretend they had redeemed themselves despite acting like him about 40 years ago.
>>741704564Excuse me, Stern would instead talk about how his brutal collectivist caste based society is very welcoming to transitioning and how they have a special term for those people. Maybe replay Dragon Age Inquisition, before you spread misinformation.
>>741705302well they did butcher the setting as the games went on, change a thing there, retcon a thing here, I mean when was the last time they mentioned broodmothers?
>>741705302No.

>>741697909NTA, but they absolutely do wtf are you talking about?
>>741705189>>741704872i find them fascinating to look athow could you look at an actual woman, a pretty one even and think "yeah, I can totally pull that off!"
>>741704950Your ideology is fake and everything you believe in has been a spectacular failure. Hope you enjoyed the obama years because that was the liberal dipshit peak and its never coming back lmao. Everyone hates you.
>>741669228I love how Isabelle says that people make it about themselves when they apologize, which is bad. But then she apologizes and makes it about herself, putting on a show for everyone.

>>741704950The Bible was written in Greek, translated in English, you do not know, or feign to not know, what the word pride in this context means, the sin of pride, it means to think that you can decide reality, like how homosexuals pretend that sex can occur even if the opposite sexes are not involved.
>>741707763>purple lighting in everythingdid they all hold a meeting somewhere and decided that is the only lighting they would use?
>>741704868fuck off, Chud
>non-binaryfucking meme. Every single "non-binary" person I've ever had the displeasure of coming across has been biologically female, ergo it's solely for attention, like all things with women.
>>741708198I've met a few dudes who went by that, but it was always to game the system to get better treatment or to get hired for something.
>>741708057at the rothschild-hosted cannibal paedophile parties yes they had slides saying shit like "all western games both 'indie' and AAA+ will have forced purple gay colors"theyre pure evil
Apart from the hideous xir and the cringe dialogue slapping some elven ears on a Chinese woman also gave me second hand embarrassment
>>741708198OK Cupid released some data once that showed that 80% of women identified as bisexual or similar, but only 5% ever matched with women. For men, being a fag is the worst thing there is; but for women, it's hip and cool. Until they get their first boyfriend who presses the reset button in her cervix, that is.
>>741707225I love how this is basically a caveman writing notes, but it happens to be worried about being seen as a woman.
>>741708198it's just women whose personalities are based around hating having to shave their legs.
>>741708476>slapping some elven ears on a Chinese womanThat's how leftists treat elves. Elves are just humans with ears. Anyone can be an elf and so you have people pulled from a New York bus stop appearing as elves in big budget media
>why aren't gamers buying new games?
>>741708745you think that is bad? they had multiracial tribals in inquisition. how the fuck does that work?
>>741708745desu both the Witcher and Dragon Age tried to subvert elves from Tolkien's idealised high elves but they were still white. Making them brown is a step too far
>>741669228For someone who actually liked Isabela as a character, this is painful to watch.
>>741708745Ultimately, the mockery of modern day elves in current fantasy media is because they are seen as analogues to Europeans. Subconsciously they take Tolkien's interpretation of the Elves as being the highborn, almost spiritual essence of what it is to be Northern European, and reject that utterly as they find it problematic that one race could be considered "higher" than the others.Consider why Elves are shown as haughty and arrogant, often to their detriment in modern Media when in Tolkien's work they are ethereal, heroic, courageous and intelligent. This, ultimately, stems from the preconception Americans have that white people must not be seen as superior, so even their fantasy analogues must be made to appear just like the other races so as to combat the idea of superiority they misinterpreted; the irony being Tolkien never intended for Elves to be analogous to the British, or rather Anglo-Saxons, they're essentially lesser Angels. Spirits more rooted in the Catholic subversion of native Pagan myth, than any sort of racial treatise. But you can't expect these people to actually have any media literacy.
>>741707769>it means to think that you can decide reality,That is you.
>>741669631You were correct up until the religion seetherald, athecucks are the primary phenomenon for this nonsense.
>>741706983>Is fakeNo? What the fuck does that even mean? >and everything you believe in has been a spectacular failure.Like? >Hope you enjoyed the obama years because that was the liberal dipshit peak and its never coming back lmao.Obama years are a rejection of what I believe in. >Everyone hates you.If every American right winger was slowly tortured to death by having their flesh cut apart, piece by piece. The entire world would cheer.
>>741709189Witcher Elves are literal nazis down to having SS divisions as their right wing death squads. Turning them into niggers is particularly bizarre
>>741707225good lord, imagine putting this stuff in a video game
>>741669693Zevran’s bi so technically he’s only fifty percent faggot but I get your point

>>741669693>Zevranand you can kill him immediately
>>741705771You are woke
>what were the activists thinking the chud's reaction would be?
>>741672721ngmi
>>741710602I mean, nobody is denying chuds need to suffer. I just wish they would drop the pretense and just make a game about genociding chuds instead of weird fantasy games.
>>741677302Ingroup bias is so much more important to them than any actual skillset. It's why these companies are getting shut down left and right.
>>741683665>the people we paid to say it was good said it was good, but that didn't translate into sales
>>741682349You just described 80% of content on Reddit. The other 20% is porn.
>>741710878>that ign review that ended with "if this is the last dragon age we get, then at least it ended on a high note"kind of gave the game away on how shit he knew it was.
these people spend all smelling their own farts
>>741709564you're too sensitive. christianity generally being good for society doesn't change the fact that people do use it to blind themselves, and that poster was clearly pointing out that godless atheists end up doing the same thing they accuse fanatical christians of doing, making everything worse because you have the same lunacy without any of the beneficial community building that christianity provides
>>741710814I'm sorry right wingers have no in group bias but "The person I work with doesn't want to kill his colleagues" is kind of important, yeah.
>>741711408>christianity generally being good for societyBasically just Catholicism, frankly. It still outlived it's usefulness, but at least it kept a relative peace in Europe that was violently broken when it declined.
>>741710808they wouldn't get public funding though.
>>741682053im sure this person convinced himself this happened
>>741669496>hurrdurrr it was always wokeGod i hate you gaslighting faggots. No, faggots existing and faggots being always right and correct by just by being faggots are two completely different things.
>>741684384The sheer hypocrisy is what always gets me with libtards, and that is one prime example of it. Her whole character is about accepting whatever bullshit she decided while shitting and dismissing everyone else at every turn
>>741669228something like this
>>741711946trash is an odd character, she is shown as unapproachable in her virtue as there is always someone in her scenes to affirm her identity and ideals. She is also a cunt to treats other people's interest and identities as less than her own.she is a self insert who is a horrible cunt, who is treated with kid gloves and always protected by the writing.
>>741704508>Only if you deny reality instead of looking at the facts.That's the liberal's official sport.
>>741711747He's 100% correct, DA has always been a queer RPG series. Origins was just a fantastic RPG and the queerness wasn't in your face or over the top so no one had an issue with it. Then the games started getting worse. And then the faggotry got ramped up to the point where it was obnoxious. So now it's a dead series.
>>741672663TES VI is not even real anymore.
>>741704508facts are racist and sexist, you fucking chud
>>741712725I think the turning point occurs in DA2 and with Anders specifically. When Anders was introduced in Awakening, you enter a room where he's just finishing off some Darkspawn, turns around, sees you and goes "I didn't do it" despite it being impossible for you not to have seen him at it. This is how his character is established, it's quick, effective.In DA2 he's introduced by having him solicit gay sex from you and instantly disapproves if you don't say yes.
>>741712725For sure, im sure your buttbuddies on discord will believe you
>>741710523nope Witcher is nothing at all like other games listed there, in fact it's a direct antithesis. Witcher is firmly an edgelord mudcore, so Polish standard, and not marvelslop quipfaggotry like the rest of that picture.
>>741698086Cry about it. Competition is everywhere, even between siblings from the same family. If you bring nothing of value then no one will value you. Black people have music and sports, and that's it.
>>741669631>in fact their mindset of moralistic progressive idealism is very similar to a popular religion.Woke is factually a religion.This is well recognized all across the board, even on "their" side.
>>741712293Right leaning centrists, at least.
>>741714727>Cry about itNTA, but I would rather genocide your people and help myself to as much of your wealth as possible beforehand.
>>741669228They didn't care about the audience. They only cared about making they game they wanted. Mass Effect is going to flop and I won't be surprised Bioware gets shutdown for good after.
>>741714750Anti woke is a religion.Woke is common sense.
>>741715817I don't think anyone will be surprised. It would be wild if they somehow made a good game though. I know the odds are like 1000/1 but I still think that would be dope. Maybe they'll purge the entire studio and shoe string budget it. Make a real CRPG instead of a gloried movie.
>>741711581It should, frankly. Murdering subhumans should be acceptable. You could make a game about torturing chuds to death and it would still be acceptable and popular.
>>741704226The left vs right bullshit brigade won't end until jewish occupation of our governments ends.MONEY IS FAKE, THEY HAVE INFINITE MONEY. Voting with out wallets does nothing.
>>741691110>"I got pissy because he said he still wanted grandkids"Which is how most of European nobility used to approach homosexuality among their sons/heirs:>Sure go ahead and fuck your boys, just make sure to marry the girl I point at and sire legitimate heirs.
>>741716350Human occupation of your government will never end.
>>741679291Dragon Age II has the most interesting premise - living within a single city for years and seeing how it changes and how various storylines interconnect and pay off + the best roster of companions + rivalry/loyalty system + the dialogue wheel was much more advanced than in any other game, including the Mass Effect series and Inquisition, and included interaction that never made it anywhere else, like bribery or unique story decisions being locked behind which personality is your main one + the fact that which personality you get changes your regular conversations + that it gets harder and harder to switch personalities as the game goes alone, signifying Hawke settling into his role.
>>741714506wouldn't you fucking lose consciousness? I never got this, in movies people seemingly bleed for hours. In RL you see people lose a ton of blood and die in seconds. the fuck is going here
>>741716687They impaled you on your anus in such a way as to avoid damaging your organs.
>>741669228BARVE BOYKUNG FU POKECHU
>>741716781That's not how bleeding works dude
>>741669228They simply did everything in such a hyperbolic way that any normal person would be disgusted, and such games would fail. Because I can't imagine anyone actually doing all this with a straight face.
>>741715884Oh look, opposite day again?
>>741717451Nope.Woke is ultimately just being pro human. If you are a human, it's common sense to be pro human.
>>741712265i think it’s just progressive stack nonsense, she’s always permitted to shit on white males but her victimhood quotient is pretty high so nobody can shit on her
>>741715884>entropic marxist dogshit reliant on secular fanaticism is common sense
>>741716865That's how impaling worked.
>>741669228Shit is insane man
>>741669228How many Bharvs can anons pull?
didn't even allow us to get rid of party members we didn't care for, though I'm sure they did that because taash would end up like pic related 90% or more of the time.
>>741720575You can't even be rude to them. All lines to them are meant to be friendly and supportive.
its interesting how BG3 has largely slipped past zoomer's "millenialslop" memesWhen the character writing is almost as bad as this game's.>>741711747nah, DA:O was them trying to be subtle about it so it got a pass in a time when every game wasn't like that. but its the same thing.
>>741669228WHAT HAPPENED TO ISABELLA'S TITS?!
>>741715884>Woke is common sense.To a retard completely disconnected from reality, sure.
>>741720745if there’s hot women people will ignore the judaism, problem is they deleted the hot women
>>741722621BG3 has no hot women though
What's the big deal with the "Pulling a Bharv" scene?I just don't get the big deal. Say you think the scene is cringe. Fine, that's your right. You're allowed to have an opinion. And your reasons for not liking the scene are your own.But I don't get why it's such a big deal. Say it's a bad scene. Okay, so what? It's like a four minute scene involving a faction that's barely in the game! Beyond that, the scene has very little relevance besides giving the Lords of Fortune a small quirk. Why make such a mountain over a molehill?With Mass Effect 3's original ending, I understood why people were making such a big deal. That made sense. This doesn't. Does anyone have an answer? Like, really. I just don't get it.
>>741670542It’s pretty easy to figure out. Find the only one that came out before Bioware went to shit and that’s the answer.
>>741689631I’m afraid I kekd
>>741672721"Drop and give me 2 bharvs" doesnt have the same ring to it
>>741716539>"human"That's a great joke.
>>741707225Fucking christ what a disaster of a game this is
>>741707225haha
>>741723471It's mostly the ridiculousness of someone from such a fantasy setting feeling bad about "misgendering" a they/them - a concept which shouldn't even exist in that fantasy setting to be gin with. Like what explanation could there possibly be for modern, progressive language to show up in the Dragon Age world?
>>741710808As a chud I'd rather play a game like this than any tranny coded game
>>741724532It's factual. Any issue anti semites claim to have with jews is actually them hating humans.
>>741669228>"Audience? But I liked it when I wrote it."
>>741725306>Like what explanation could there possibly be for modern, progressive language to show up in the Dragon Age world?Why do they all speak english by that logic?
>>741669228kek, imagine that you get your crew to get killed by the enemy and then... what?, ''sorry lads, let me do a Bharv, there, we're good, wait oh, yeah, you're dead''.
>>741669496>because it let the MC fulfill so many basic power fantasies99% of fantasy series have elements that /v/ would call "woke" because it's a meaningless word at this point, they just ignore it when the series otherwise has elements that they like that distract them from realizing the rest of what's going on
>>741717585this. and to be truly pro human, you need to be anti subhuman. nigger
>>741725519Don't be retarded, that's not the same thing and you know it. Translating so the audience can understand is different than injecting ideology.
>>741725519>Why do they all speak english by that logic?Why are you making such a disingenuous argument, by that logic?Do you think game devs casually develop new languages so that they can give actors words they have no idea what they mean? However, the idea that you would have "lesbians" in another world, or Sapphic, is ridiculous. Because Lesbians were indigenous women of the island of Lesbos that practiced same sex copulation, and Sapphic because of the poet Sappho. Even if there was a Sappho poet in Dragon Age, the idea that she would be practice lesbianism is an absurd stretch of the logic required. The idea that some mentally ill Qunari would come up with "non-binary" is about as likely and breaks in-world consistency. Even in DA:I, Dorian doesn't call himself Gay, but rather someone that appreciated the company of men. Or something to that extent, I forget the exact wording. Because there is no reason why they would use that word. Also, if some fantasy land's political and economic ideology like communism, it is unlikely they would call it communism. It is fine and dandy for your tabletop session with your friends, but not for a product addressing the masses in such a way.
>>741725453More comedic gold. Got another one, Schlomo?
>>741726184Exactly. And it's not like they couldn't have made a story where Taash wants to break cultural gender norms that made sense in the world they had built. It's the fact that she specifically decided that she doesn't have a gender and uses terms like "non-binary" that don't fit the setting.
>>741669496Everything has always been woke. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which everything has always been woke.
>>741725610Ok retard lmao
>>741727220Holy kek
>>741727325Schizo?
>>741727461Illiterate
>>741704346Jesus you people are unreal
>>741720745>its interesting how BG3 has largely slipped past When a game sells a lot, propaganda is "optional" / you can ignore the content that bothers you / there is no propaganda / well yeah, it has propaganda but it was forced by the publisher.
>>741727745Im only a low level chud but it was impossible not to notice how BG3 reserved like 90% of its LGBT pandering until the latter half of act 2, well after any journos and most casual players would ever reach to comment on.
>>741669853>female trying to be "non-binary"Does the story explain what she'd gain by that?
>>741718546>secular fanaticism
>>741727745Poor Swen. He didn’t learn that women are disappointing until his 50s.
>>741679291I cant judge them on a linear scale, they are too different in that regard: DA:O is super dark egdy fantasy marrying LotR and Game of Thrones, feels like the Bioware BG3 we didnt get. DA2 is fantasy ME2 where companions carry the game and the combat feels closer to something like Diablo without ever needing pause, noone ever copied the friend/rival system. DAI is like an offline mmo, the bane of that game was EA just saying "Skyrim" when Mark Darrah protested filling the game with (shit) sidequests. DAV is weird, has the same armor system and battle companions like ME3, graphics are pretty and Im liking the combat as 2H warrior, maybe because DAI dropped the ball there, Marvel quips grates a bit, but then I remember Bioware has always done characters and stories good, never plots.
>>741727325Trvke
>>741669496Classic leftist tactic. Just misunderstand the term and act like it is as vague as possible rendering conversation impossible.
>>741696325Kiseki did the same thing but it worked out OKfucking magic apple store
>>741727962>like 90% of its LGBT pandering until the latter half of act 2, well after any journos and most casual players would ever reach to comment on.But of course! The famous anti-lgbt journalists! Let me guess, they didn't praise and promote the game all the time because of the LGBT content, no no no, they praised it because those expert journalists enjoyed its deep gameplay and sophisticated writing!
>>741671039To be fair, Isabella in DA2 is absolutely nothing like she was in DA:O. So that's just par for the course.
>>741723471It's interesting seeing the modern response to the bullshit Vanguard pulls now that we're several years into being forced to deal with pronouns gender identity and garbage like that every single day.Maybe you don't realize this but two years ago the notion of any videogame, much less an established series like Dragon Age, having a five minute long cutscene in which a character uses the incorrect pronouns for another character and in response forces themselves to do push-ups (and has an pre-established term for the concept) was fucking wild and despite all of that, to this day I'm certain I still haven't experienced anything in a game as dissonant as the shit this game pulls.
>>741681608Inquisition gameplay is dogshit. They tried to make it action gameplay to attract "the wider audience" but were still obligated to connect it to the actual series in some way making a half assed version of both. Visuals are crap too. Maybe you can say a vista looked almost as good but every armor and character is a downgrade looks wise.
>>741669228They thought that you wouldn't know until you'd already bought the game and/or that you'd just tolerate it because they're Bioware and this is Dragon Age.They definitely blame social media and the youtubers who covered it for letting people know that it exists instead of themselves for making it. That's how their minds work. These people need to be aggressively removed from positions of influence.
>>741727621Don't respond to the bot
>>741669496The most 'woke' DAO ever got was having a gay in it
>>741669496Same with BG3, you have a invincible marry Sue lesbian angel with a hot female priestess. The game gets away with it because you can sell her out to a incel wizard who traps forever
>>741706243delusional they're the equivalent to evangelization christians and muslims that deny basic understanding like evolution on how the world works
>>741679291Mortismal hated DA:O and considers Inquisition and Veilguard the best.
>>741730763That was pretty woke for 2009 standards. Even ME2 didn't have same sex romance options. All of the dark woke shit only started accelerating with OWS in 2011.
>>741731370That's because Mortismal is a retard
>>741696095The issue with DA:O is that like half the levels are "That level".
>>741716659This is kinda selling me on it. I've only played DA:O once on hard as a dalish elf rogue and liked it a lot. Will I like DA 2?
>>741690070Glad to see someone else pointing out how BG3 treats the previous canon like dogshit. That infuriated me.
>>741731930DA2 combat sucks. Its dumbed down bullshit.
>>741669228> puffy nipsI have literally no idea what this game is or anything about it but I've seen this webm a few times and thinking back on the games I've played (particularly the fantasy games), I've noticed that extremely decorative clothing and armors, and accessories, are extremely overrepresented in these kinds of games. Yeah, yeah; it's fantasy and all that but I find my immersion autistically broken by all the loose and dangling shit on these kinds of costumes. It's just not pratical at all. Like, if you were wearing that shit you'd just take it off whenever you could because it would be too inconvenient and bulky. Like in full cosplay shit all day every day. Let alone when fighting someone
>>741731930It's also the only RPG I can recall where the MC's family plays a hugely important role in the story instead of being absent/dead within 5 minutes of the game's start.
>>741669228I want to fuck every single thing in that scene.
>>741695991It is extreme cope when Bioware was literally the only RPG dev at the vanguard and helm of homolust in vidya starting from Jade EmpireYou could count in 2 fingers the high budget RPGs that let you be a homo back in the day and guess what, both were from Bioware
fuck all leftist devs, glad the market won't accept their propaganda and they're getting laid off.
>>741732950that's 90% of devs btw
>>741716182is that was true why has the market decided no one wants to buy leftist games.
>>741729398Snapped that cunt.
>>741669228have you noticed how leftists only like referencing 2023's Baldurs Gate 3 all the time and rarely mention Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 as their woke win game? It's because they'll have to defend Vavra (jewish) and the "save the jews" main mission in the game.They don't like doing that because they've already cornered themselves with Palestine. So back to BG3. They'll still be pointing to BG3 as their woke-win game in 2030.
>>741729398>SEX SEX>PENIS>SEX>BEAR SEX>UNDERWEAR>PENIS BALLS COCK>SEXwhy are leftists such giga-coomers?
>>741734336>horny for me (gay) but not for thee (straight)
