>>499950704> Dragon Age: The Veilguard>Yet another transgenderism simulatorWhy do you even bother posting about this game? We've already seen countless games that all take the same cookie cutter format as a Bioware game with just as much transgenderism. What's the point? Aren't you more interested in things in the world beyond just generic WRPG slop and transgenderism?
Sera best girl.
Solavellan supremacy Solavellan superiority
>>499951613Holy zazed...
How do we feel about all the drastic redesigns of the qunari?
>>499951824I cant even express how little I give a fuck. Qunari blow and always have
>>499951824Looks like the average American lad I saw when I visited
>>499951962I liked how they were presented in Origins, as just kinda typical plains barbarian folk.
>>499951450Post the true Sera, not a tarot card.
this might be a minority opinionbut they should keep the tarot cards aesthetic they used in inquisition
this might be a minority opinion but Loghain did nothing wrong
>>499951824>OriginsBarely distinguishable from humans. It's an ok look, but makes you wonder if they're even a race or just a culture. The lack of more qunari in the game also means you barely have a window through which to learn about them, so while Sten is good as a character, you're left to wonder just how much there really is to the qunari.>2Perfect, actually look great, unique, suitably alien but not so much that they don't fit in. Their role as outsiders in the city also fits that look perfectly. You truly feel like they are members of a powerful empire with a distinct culture and ruled but also a distinct race, even if they do accept others. Best qunari.>InquisitionMeh, not that fan of Bull. I mean, he's alright, I can believe he's a member of the previous race, but he's also extremely far removed from the previous ones. Works for what he is though, precisely a qunari removed from the culture for reasons, but I'm not particularly attached.>Veilguardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4-HYQrYj8&ab_channel=LewisMcgarry%2C
that is not a minority opinion
>>499953180Trueanything that gets more Ferelden dogs slaughtered is goodTFD
>>499951824It's a new game for a new era. Harding can do magic now. Qunari are just like tieflings. And Solas needs his privilege checked.
>>499950704Why did OP upload the wrong image for the thread?
>>499954325Okay, who is more hungTaash or Aveline?
>>499951704>>499951613Sisters reborn I can’t wait
>>499953668>Qunari are just like tieflings.I like how in this "new era" Bioware seems to have decided that qunari are not allowed to be a non-conventionally attractive race and instead have to use the exact same faces as humans and elves but with the horns haphazardly stapled on.
>>499954451Traash duh
Are there any romance/sex scene leaks?That's all I care about. I know the game will be shit either way.
>>499955184No
Here we goagain
Will inquisition or DAO choices matter in veilguard?I want my inquisitor to be with solas
>>499956025>inquisition choicessome of them>DAO choicesnone of them
>>499956025

Did anyone else listen to Vows and Vengance? Overall it was extremely lame. I do not recommend.
>>499950704are they ever going to acknowledge the architect?
>>499959168No.Might bring back more of the magisters though.
Cassandra looks so cute in the divine dress>>499957046I have it on my "to listen/watch" list, but I just never get around to it
>>499950704What makes The Veilguard a DA game anyway? Because it feels a bit like a Ship of Theseus franchise at this point, where everything that was present in Origins has been slowly replaced or retconned.
>>499960608It still has the fade so thats something
>>499960608You'd have to define what makes Dragon Age "Dragon Age"Darkspawn still exists, Qunari still exists, Ferelden, Orlais, Tevinter still existsSo do the Templars, mages, the Fade, elves, dwarves
>>499960608Umm... d-darkspawn?
>>499952361What's the matter? You can't stand the sight of a strong Elf woman?
>>499965461that mouth...wrapped around a FemQunari's big, throbbing dick...
>>499965461She doesn't think she's pretty and that's what makes her pretty
>>499965461Greasy goblin. I’ll never forget how mad people were when she was revealed to be a lesbian. Before the game came out.
You did pre-order it, didnt you?

This general is already dead.
>>499971610I shall cherish the 3 hours we shared
>>499972139me tooI guess I'll see you guys in /crpg/ tomorrowalways remember: TQD
>>4999716105 more days
>>499951054Where is she bros….
>>499969510Yep. Getting rooks coffee too
>>499956025The biggest red flag for me is that the answer to this question is no. They aren't doing the dragon age keep system this time, they're only asking three questions: who you banged in Inquisition, whether you disbanded the inquisition, and if you want to save or oppose Solas. And since who you banged doesn't matter, there's only really two questions that matter. This feels like such a downgrade compared to the mass effect and dragon age carryover stuff in the previous games.They said it was too much effort to make content for a dozen decisions that you made 10 years ago, so they devoted their time and resources towards in-game reactivity, to the things you do in this game. That's fishy to me, but if it's not a lie and there's actually a lot of reactivity, then we can judge it based on that like we would with any other rpg so whatever. We'll see.>>499969510The second it was available.
Is this where meet n fuck kingdom 2 is?

>>499965461Same VA as Y'shtola in FFXIV btw.
>>499950704Holy crap, /dag/ revival? Any oldies still here?
>>499951824Female qunari always looked like that tho. Here's a male one.
The first major crpg release after bg3 is going to get so much negative comparison. I just hope da4 has a reasonable amount of reactivity, choice&consequence, build diversity, fun characters, and good enough music to at least hold its own, even though I have a feeling it will be worse on all of these areas.
>>500010340It's not going to be BG3 but I don't think there is such an expectation for most. It doesn't need to live up to BG3, just its predecessor(s). Can it deliver a satisfying conclusion to Solas' story or will he be just a rushed storyline that needs to be dealt with in the last 20 minutes.is the big question for me.
>>500014071Yeah except BG3 is a piece of shit compared to any Dragon Age game
>trapped Qunariexactly what they deserve
>like cass>like solas>like varric>like dorian>like coleits not fair, parties should be six nor four
>>500020831yeah???now you get two
>>500021245>2 why
Inquisition is still as good as I remembered it to be ;-;only having 8 ability slots is ass thonow we wait for Veilguard
>>500024924As someone who enjoyed inquisition, Veilguard looks shit already. It looks like they've made andromeda with swords.
>>499956025Well, you're in luck, because the Creative Director of the game is the biggest solavellan fan, and the devs admitted they know the popularity of that ship is what carried the franchise during these long ten years. They promised "closure" and didn't even want to hint at how the reunion may go, because "it's something you must see for yourself". Which is fair - I mean, all the other romances from Inquisition got a good ending, while a Solas-romancing Lavellan only ever got the short end of the stick. It makes sense for them to acknowledge the pairing so heavily, but I'm sure the other fans who don't give a shit will riot when their Dorian or Josephine doesn't get the same amount of lines.
I heard they got rid of blood magic :(
>>500030785couldn't even use blood magic in DAIbioware went to shit over a decade ago
what the fuck went wrong sisters?
no shot veilguard is good right?
>>500032802its highly unlikely to bebut hey, random shit happens maybe against all odds and in complete opposition to how things have been presented so far it will turn out ok
>>500031707EA. They bought Bioware right at the end of Origin's dev cycle, so Origins is still mainly a Bioware game, but its also the last bioware game. EA is full of retards who think the vocal minorities are the target audience and that culture has since become engrained in Bioware too. Veilguard is even being directed by a literal troon too, so you know its gonna be full of the weirdes terminally online porn addict unironic >>>/lgbt/ tier shit ever.
>>500031707You control the buttons you press
>>500034664Each one I press just fill up my gaymeter
>>500035127It's pretty impressive that the game's AI is able to read you like that
>>500036038Im playing Veilguard, so ofc Im at least gay.
>>500025293Funny that the most loved couple is hetero…. I still have low expectations
Im buying veilguard, but it better majorly impress and invest me before that refund window is up because nowadays everything past the refund window turns to shit very very quickly.
>>500036770I was almost certain they were gonna let you pick that you romanced Solas even if you recreate a male Lavellan. I still think they're going to do some thing with the flashbacks or memories or whatever to show Solas being gay
I'll pirate this trash if Bioware didnt chacracter assassinate Morrigan. I was looking forward to killing that egghead. A dual axe wielding Dwarf rook killing knife ear """""gods""""" could be fun.
>>500037885Yeah I was thinking about that. I’m gonna seethe if they let it happen
>>500038869Imagine if they let male Lavellan pick Solas as their romance but Dorian and Sera stayed locked to gay. I'm sure they would have done that if they wouldn't get any backlash.
>>500039450That won’t get backlash besides from the sisters. Gays have a special type of oppression. See nexus mods for gay Solas/Cullen/Alistair/Morrigan
Will there be any reactivity to this shit in veilguard?
The ONLY reason I care is for the Solavellan angle. A small part is caring if the Veil actually gets torn down which would be awesome but I'm not holding my breath. Rook seems like a faggot and I have absolutely no investment in a new protagonist or any of these boring companions, getting to know them, or what happens to them. They failed to appeal to me in any way. I hope they all die. I only care about my Inquisitor, who should have been the protagonist of this game in the first place.
>>500043431No, nothing from the keep is being used
If theres not a dwarven city and level area places whatever tf region thingy, Im gonna shit my pants
Should I play DAI because its simple to do, or try not to kms while trying to get DAO to work on my current year pc? Id much rather play O, but im not opposed to I. The whole prolog shit before the keep is a massive slog, but past that the game gets pretty fun, imhotbqhdesu
>>500044281DAO worked well for me after I installed the 4K LAA patch thing and used the Borderless Gaming app to run it as fullscreen windowed mode.
>>500044640Yeah, Im reDL it and give it a try again.
>dwarfs cant be mageswow, racist much?
>>500025250Chuditte spotted
>>500043658Nobody cares about your sissy romance homo
>>500044640>>500044281Okay, wow. It just started right up. Gonna give it a go until it becomes apparent I need to do the mem unlocker dohicky.
>>500046842Harding has magic now so
>>500047216For me the textures started flipping out on the NPCs around Ostagar but the prologue section was totally normal
>>500047419No she doesn’t retard
>>500046842dwarves aren't people, they are stones.if they were people they'd be in the chant
>>500047489Yeah, I started as a dwarf and the textures/lighting were really weird and loading the diamond quarter crashed it, but ended up getting it working real smooth(for now, but osamar has always been the worst) by downloading a 1.05 exe and running the 4gb patch on it.
I wish DAO would run on my computer, it usually crashes by lothering
best girl?
>>500054387patching the exe has fixed that for me in the past
My first playthrough I will be a mage, date Neve, and help Solas.
>>500063454Hey that was my plan too
thoughts on isabela
>>500043658>A small part is caring if the Veil actually gets torn downIt probably will, players who already finished it said not to rush when near the ending, because you can't continue playing after the story ends (the game makes an auto save that will allow you to take care of missed sidequests). It probably means the world will be radically changed.
>rookwhat a dumb nickname for a lead character
>>500071918>The Warden, later the Hero of Ferelden>Hawke, later the Champion of Kirkwall>The Herald of Andraste, later the Inquisitor>RookI really hope they get a cooler title because my god it sucks
>>500072418You always have to feel like the main character, don't you? Well this isn't the story about that. This story is about the HEROES of the VEILGUARD, not just a chosen one.
>>500067443Big boobs
>>500043658no wonder why human males rape elf women
>>500056926
>>500075268Why does a swamp witch (right) need to dress that way
>>500071918Chess piece
>>500076060Or maybe pirate talk
>>500076050My guess is because shes an unironic edgelord. Flemmeth even makes fun of her who dancing under the moonlight and doing the witch of the wilds larp. Morrigan just really romanticizes the whole witchiness of it all.
>>499950704Anders did nothing wrong
>>500043658>The ONLY reason I care is for the Solavellan angle. I guess I don't get it. Your romance happened 10 years ago. Why do you care to see it ruined in a "sequel" where you'll get a crumb of closure at best?
>>500076060no shitits still a shit moniker
to be fair to morrigans terrible taste shes probably bored shitless being alone with her mother in the wilds
>>500076954I like it, chess is nice
>>500071918Chess dude
Did Morrigan and Flemeth ever.. you know...
Has the dialogue in veilguard been leaked yet?Is it good?
>>500077701It's funny. I kind of want to repost stuff I found on /v/, which would be relevant to your question, but it's so cringy it would feels like shitposting.
>>500077847I'm expecting it to be generic marvel tier writing, but I hold some hope that bioware isn't all that bad...
>>500077701https://files.catbox.moe/ttxre2.mp4
>>500078132jesus christ what did they do to the qunari
>>500078307I don’t know but they are hideous

>>500078132wow that was not anywhere near as bad as I had expected with all I've read about itseems kinda nice if you can actually influence your companions viewpoints and whatnot

>>500081581NEVE CHADS WE WINNING THIS
>>500076849I really can't think of anything they could do that would "ruin" it in any way that matters. I want to see the conclusion of an unfinished story idk what's hard to get about that.
>>500082540cute lavellan

how comfy is the lighthouse going to be?
>>499982069>>499983084Do not listen to him. We must make the Tevinter Imperium great again and ensure a future for the Altus.
>>499950704Ok I've a lore theory: the Archdemons and the Evanuris are very closely related. In Veilguard, only 2 elven gods break free - Ghilan'nain and Elgar nan. The remaining 5 of the pantheon are missing and we don't know why. Now hear me out, how many archdemons have the wardens killed so far? 5! And how many archdemons are still left? 2! I bet Ghilanain and Elgarnan are going to use the remaining 2 archdemons - Lusacan and Razikale - for something sinister. Maybe their soul is partially trapped in these dragons and there objective would to be search and unite with them to fully awaken their power? And Rook's objective would be to stop them? We'll see. I'm 100% sure we're gonna get the answer to what the blight actually is, and how the archdemons and elven gods are truely related.
>>499951613Sorry, my Lavellan is a dirty race traitor for Cullen
>>500094218god that's fucking hot
>>500094539I make it sound cruder than it is, but I just thought it's a good romance with a good payoff in Trespasser. Also considering that Lavellan can call Solas 'hahren' (elder) feels to me that he fulfills more of a mentor role. Especially a mage Lavellan.
Blood Magic users are all racists, so they are no welcome apparently
>Your advisor is an apostate?>Over my dead body!I dont remember her auto aggroing bcuz morrigan before. Guess Im team templar now
>hitting page 9 a mere day after the first threadLIVE
>>500104242we are dead as fuckliterally only hope is veilguard reignites interest after 10 years
Not really liking this 2 handed warrior in DAO. Might reroll to dw rogue or mage.
>>500106496Has 2H warrior been fun in literally any of the games
>>500106668I rolled it cuz its the one Im least familiar with having never used it myself or sten really. I like the crazy backstabbing dmg with rogue, but playing a mage is a lotta fun in DAO.
>3. I killed an arl's son for raping my friend.Backstories are cool.
when are the veilguard sex scenes getting leaked?
To what exent does no blood magic affect the Mage Question? Without maleficar, does the title of "apostale mage" still hold enough weight?
>>5001195034 or 5 days
>>500119626You've been the victim of misinformation, probably on purpose. They are not removing blood mages, and maleficar stiff exist as a problem in the world. What the developers actually said is that blood magic will not be part of Rook's personal backstory, meaning you can't play as one in this game. Very different things.>>500081581It's too early to vote. We haven't even met the companions yet. What if the person that you think is physically attractive in the current promo pictures turns out to be super cringe once they talk in game?What if best girl is a side npc who we haven't seen yet and is not part of the poll?
>>499951824Maybe the dedicated Dragon Age thread can finally tell me why so many people hate Iron Bull?
>>500121961They hate him cause he broke Origins qun lore with his trans buddy. Maybe cause he’s super gay too. I hate him cause he’s an ugly bara, and the marketing for Inquisition focused hard on him yet he never stood out to me for the companions.
