Dragon Age The Veilguard's dialogue is Discovery Kids Tier

is it really that much of a problem that she's bringing 8 books?

9 actually

9 books

This is just embarrassing, I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that is like dialogue from a cartoon for toddlers. I watch streams of super woke to have a laugh, and even Dustborn and Validate have more interpersonal conflict. Dustborn is basically a toxic relationship with your friends, and in Validate one of your dates calls you out for presenting yourself as a musician despite being a SoundCloud rapper, and you have a discussion with her because she doesn't think that all wypipo are bad (while you are self-hating half-african born in America). I think this is more than wokeness, this dialogue is the final result of the corporate sanitization we have seen in recent years

I will be a straight white male human and there is nothing you can do!

manlet

Thats just being petty at this point

So when this flops tomorrow what are the shills and troons going to push as the damage control narrative?

woke

What does that word mean?

You can't be negative to your companions. You can't scold, criticize, or insult them. You can only talk to them in a friendly, supporting and empathetic manner. In the earlier games you could really get into arguments with them. And if you made too many negative decisions they might turn on you.

I will actively antagonize this qunari troon as much as I can

Another pic. All answers are the same.

Would a children's show say this?

Is there any aspect of this game that they didn't blatantly fuck up?

There's one thing that would make this good writing. That is, if you could call her out for this shit. That would recalibrate what she's saying as something wild and it would paint her character more clearly.

Well too bad, you can only accept that she's right and that women are inferior.

the greatest thing about 2 is that there was 2 different romances for each character. to avoid you just sucking their cock and telling them everything they want to say in order to not be locked out of the romance.
well actually in 1 too you could harden or not leliana and alistair.
anyway this game is trash.

Just look it up, dunce.
Better question is why so many of you retards pretend to not know.

This trend has been happening with Bioware games for a while they simply won't let you be evil or even an asshole to people, it's gotten worse with every game since after ME3.

Why does the devil hate it when you say his name? They know that if their bullshit can be easily identified and categorized them they won’t be able to pull their bullshit. It’s the same reason why they keep changing the names of shit like ESG to DEI.

It's a form of distraction, they want you to waste your time arguing about definitions

It’s like I’m rewatching that trashy X-men Anon Babbletards were creaming themselves over. Same quality of writing

That’s one of the few objectively bad issues with the game. Outside of retard tourist shitposting. What dipshit makes and rpg and then says

but you can’t play this way

that’s not what our characters would do

That’s not how characters act in a dog either. The heck?

Fucking DESPISE this therapy speak

I hate this group of people so much.

1234758901362.png - 1629x535, 604.68K

party based rpg

literally no in group conflict bc it would be too heckin uncomfortable or something according to the writers

the absolute state

It's basically this. It's just what they used to call themselves, but mockingly. It meaning nothing just makes the mockery more poignant.

This was my main complaint about the hogwarts game.But honestly this looks even worse

Wait, so Veilguard is saying women are bad? Um based?

Thankfully I don't use reddit

rook is a manlet

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

No the implication is that being a woman is hard work because men are evil and useless.

Awake to your racial/sexual consciousness.
Same grift as gommunism where you have to awake to your class consciousness.

Yeah I remember telling Merill not to build the rape demon mirror, her yelling at me then riding my dick shortly afterwards. Being unable to do something similar when the companions are more retarded than ever sounds horrible. I will never play this game.

watch shill up review

get to the part where he starts showing clips of the chit-chat that happens while you travel

WOW UHHH CHUNGUS... 2 OF MY HECKIN GODS ARE HERE TO UHHHH END THE WORLD???? SO THAT JUST HAPPENED

close the video video

this is what happens when you let spoilt brat sheltered coastal americans who have never experienced any kind of conflict or being told no in their lives and get them to write scenarios where disagreements take place
they have no experience with this sort of thing and no idea how to handle it

wow this game might be based

You're never going to play this game,
Why do you even care?
How does this affect your life???

Uh... yikes?

Like... we respect people.... here....... in califo- Thedas?......like?

probably

the racist chud hate movement

defence for the 47th time
it's just boring at this point and they know they're lying to themselves

shut up nigger

And yet people will buy it.
If normies are so retarded that they are still buying "harvest moon" games and complaining that it's not how it used to be, then there will be the same bunch of retarded normies that buy veilguard.

but how does this affect you, personally?

Franchise and developer I used to like went down the shitter completely. Venting about it helps with the frustration.

and in Validate one of your dates calls you out for presenting yourself as a musician despite being a SoundCloud rapper, and you have a discussion with her because she doesn't think that all wypipo

You having a stroke or something, mate?

They're called zoomers, and you should indeed hate them.

literally the meme

Holy shit I was considering this game because I liked the way the action combat looked, and I thought maybe I can just avoid the transgender stuff by playing a straight normal person.

If it's possible, then please show us. Everything I've seen leads me to believe you're railroaded into dealing with a party of fags and fag-adjacents, so I'm curious if the devs will even allow you to try and steer them down the straight-and-narrow.

apparently the combat is unbelievably brainless and repetitive anyways so even if the writing shit didn't exist you still probably wouldn't have liked it

the shill up video made it sound like all the companions are mandatory and you have to do their shitty quests
it's not even like bg3 where you can ignore the ones you don't like or kill them

Oh yeah, there doesn't look like there's even a way to disagree with your party, to say nothing of dismissing them. I'm doubtful you can even de-fag their personalities.

Perfervid concern with social justice

It's proxy frustration for the fact this retarded worldview is accepted, widespread, and influencial enough to make it's way into large franchises where it can incestually legitimize itself to normies who play it

files.catbox.moe/ivszot.mp4
Who wrote this garbage?
they need to be blacklisted from the entire industry

communism or gnosticism

Preachy, immersion breaking leftist politics

its a videogame board you dumb nigger. go to /fag/ if you dont like it

It's shocking how little you're exaggerating here.

Because calling out dogshit is never a bad thing. If you don’t care then fuck off.

Probably that, I imagine it’s going to be a wave of seeing posts that makes it look like it succeeded like “HAHAHAH CHUDS LOST AGAIN” and then it will split off into copes like “no one cares/it doesn’t stop talking about it”, “it’s the pirates fault since it didn’t have denuvo”, and crying about racists.

nobody LIKES being a woman

lol, lmao

You just pulled a barve my friend. Now drop and give me 10!

Why do you even care?

because Bioware made BG2 and I would like another game like that.

implying im not snagging recs and copypastas

ISHYGDDT

you could actually be a bit of a smug cunt in the Hogwarts game. You couldn't be totally evil or anything but you could be rude or manipulative.

Where did the redditor say how old he was in that post?

It's cathartic to share this absolute nonsense. Laughter and mockery cleanses the mind of anger and lets people go on without fueling the culture war.
If professional comedians mocked this obvious bullshit more, people would get more catharsis and less anger. The tension is caused by the kind of person who pretends this isn't fucking stupid.

OP is right, anyone else saying shit about "wokeness" looks like this and is not as smart as they think they are just because they watch some grifter online and think the "radical left-wing" that only exists in universities and small online spaces is somehow more dangerous then people undermining our democracy as we speak and are the same people who think Dungeon and dragons is satanic.

Veilguard will either bomb or end up in a Starfield situation.

Anyone have that webm of Scout Harding and Necromancer arguing over books at a camp out

literally in the white house rn bro

A rare unintentional redpill.

Cultural Marxism

Real ensouled human beings take interest in the world around them. You strayed from your programming by coming here, you should go back.

And if you made too many negative decisions they might turn on you.

That sounds fun and i'll probably try them out
This game seems fun to avoid

Duncan died for this. The archdemon tried to stop this future from happening and we killed it. We're the baddies in Origins.

It means that white people are the devil.
White people bastardized it to mean anything they don't like.

Ban millennials from developing video games.

This game has no balls. Gutless fucking writing. The only difference between this and a Nick Jr. show is that this is teaching you how to be a good ally to your tranny friends instead of numbers.

There's that word again.

Please, return to form.

you won't be able to
the tranny coward devs have prolly switched any harsh dialogue with you being supportive of their cuck lifestyle

hope you're not retarded enough to actually pay for this axe-wound of a game just to own the tranny quanari

This is literally how I used to get girls, tell them what they want to hear sometimes then be honest and tell them whatever the hell you want like a chad

yes. theyre labelled top surgery scars

I can't believe how much of Anon Babble learns basic shit from infographics instead of school or reading. I wondered why I had seen this phrase so much lately.

Only leftists hate women

There is literally no option to even disagree with or antagonize them in any capacity. You are required to not only be their therapist but to do so in order to even finish the game. You WILL support the tranny.

are you this naive?
it implies that men put so much expectations on women to be one that its not even worth one since its like giving into the pressure and being complicit with their wrongful behavior

They are mandatory and so are their quests. The game will not let you progress the main plot until you do all of your companions quests.

Just be honest and say that you want to the game to validate your transphobia

You are very dumb

what the fuck
a fucking two minute lecture about "misgendering" bullshit. great job Mr. Busch, this just makes me hate you faggots even more.

this guy gets it, I was an "ally" through college, accepting all this stuff into my adult life before drumpf made them go into hyperdrive and now I hate them all

Why are people pretending this is anything new? Bioware has always made gay trash RPGs for faggots, and plenty of us have been telling you this since you fags where teens getting excited to play "real mature and not Japanese RPGs" like Jade Empire, KOTOR and DA:O on your Xbox. Is anyone actually dumb enough to think that the progressive fag RPG they played as a teen wasn't the same shit because even though it was pushing the envelope for progressive nonsense at the time, that they could ignore it a little easier even though it had shit like gay romance?

it's not real chud

No one buys this, faggot
Yep, they are dishonest vermin.

And here the false flagging tranny goes again. Textbook. Denigrate the greats from the past so your slop doesn't appear as trash by comparison.
No, sorry, DAO wasn't woke. A single fag and female characters don't a woke game make.

Fallout 4 gave us the absolute bare minimum of dialogue options

[Yes]

[No for now yes later]

[Yes but it will cost you double]

[Meme]

And it was STILL better than this shit.

It's attempting to depict the character as human to turn around transphobic attitudes.
Issue is, it was done so poorly and haphazardly that it probably will have the exact opposite effect and vindicate transphobia. It's downright hate speech.

Non-binary is not real so there's no way to make it come across as human. Furthermore, it has no place in any story.

Kill yourself

lol it totally does
all the narcissistic self-insert dilating in this trash game has made me hate you queers even more

True, it was fucking awful garbage and I can't believe someone would do worse than David Cage in being a hack.

Just kill yourself

Denigrate the greats

Bioware games

the greats

A single fag and female characters don't a woke game make.

Scream tranny all you want, but the games have always been trash for fags.

Having the ability to be a dick validates being kind, anon.
This is something that has been expressed in so many ways, it feels like one of those universal truths people eventually arrive at.
Having no power to be a unkind invalidates kindness. It's just being powerless at that point.

BG1 and 2 had zero gays.

These people just don't get it. It's why they want high taxes and never donate money of their own to charity.

This is exactly how I imagine these sheltered 20-something San Francisco babies behaving. I doubt it's far from reality, these people usually have arrested development and act like big kids.

I didn't use to hate them, wasn't an ally or shit but wasn't antagonistic either - "they stay out of my hair and I stay out of theirs" kinda way. Now? Now if NuHitler came along and wanted to put them into camps I'd 110% support it.

BG1 and 2 started that awful RTWP shit and BG2 is the reason we have dogshit romance in every RPG now. They weren't gay, but they weren't good games.

what you preach

but they weren't good games.

name a better CRPG than BG2.

Go woke go br-ACK

Yeah, it is. But let's not pretend that BG3 had it any better FFS. It was the same shit with cringe le-epic modern writing and still sold millions for some god-damn reason

that's just based fanservice not wokeservice

Here in Russia we have a saying: exceptions to the rules only confirm the existence of the rule. The fact that BG3 is considered a phenomenon and a unique situation only confirms the existence of the rule go woke go broke.
I think you should learn from our wisdom.

Lesbians/yuri is all fucking garbage for faggots. No, jacking off to girls fisting each other isn't the same as shitty gay romance stories in games. Stop talking like a 13 year old who just watched a Budweiser commercial.

Point to me where a character comes out about their le sexuality/gender in BG3 or similar

le desert wasteland

boring world. no party. no cool loot. No magic. shit combat even compared to BG.

I've been here since before we used to make fun of people for playing Bioware RPGs on Xbox when that whole "JRPGs suck" news cycle started happening. You got here 2012 at the absolute earliest.

world'slargestheemlet.webm

Both have shit combat, but Fallout has less of it. Fallout also has quests and quest solutions that are actually well done with multiple ways to approach things for different builds and playstyles (an important part of cRPGs). BG is very straightforward where you just pick up quests and then go around killing things and engaging with the poor combat.

There's the gay gnome that talks about having a husband. I just laughed at Larian making a gnome gay for diversity.

The writer is literally a tranny if you didn't know.

Fallout also has quests and quest solutions that are actually well done with multiple ways to approach things for different builds and playstyles (an important part of cRPGs)

Fallout has zero replayability. No idea what you're talking about. If you're not going full AGI build you're gimped hard. Sure, you can technically 'play' other builds but you're just going to torture yourself. You can replay BG 30 times and all will be different.

you can't be even slightly mean to anyone

Spectrum of woke. Never go full woke-tard.

systematically kills franchises

but how does this affect you???!

Have Shadowheart ascend as a Dark Justicar like any normal person would do

Never see the lesbians

How the fuck could any adult person be ok with this dialogue? It sounds awful to me but im in Europe so I dunno if Americans actually like this.

Fallout has zero replayability.

You need to stop talking about games you haven't played and have only read shitposts about online.

I used to enjoy this seri--

WHAT YOU ENJOYED THIS SHITTY SERIES LOL IT WAS ALWAYS SHIT WHY DO YOU CARE SERIOUSLY. IT'S JUST BARELY MORE SHIT THAN BEFORE SO YOU SHOULD STILL LIKE IT SHITHEAD

EA systematically kills entire dev studios and their franchises

hires the cheapest options

a bunch of no-talent gay retards

"HOW COULD THE GAY RETARDS DO THIS TO ME!"

Maybe the issue has something to do with EA being a fucking awful publisher to work with that only makes slop games for retards?
Dragon Age and Mass Effect died "as a franchise" literally after both of their second games, and the first ones were only good because EA didn't have any input.

If you enjoyed anything other than Dragon Age: Origins you're actually stupid and have shitty taste, I dunno what else to say anon, the other games were fucking bad and everyone should have expected that this game would be even worse because its still made by EA and their shitty fake bioware.

It impacts me because I like laughing at it.
"Inclusivity" it's fucking hilarious in the same way as making a gay black gnome character with thick red lips is funny. Thinking it's a noble thing to do makes it funnier. I'm pretty sure people in 100 years will laugh with me on this.

The people obsessed with "media literacy" have writing on the level of 90s cartoons for 8 year olds. It's almost too funny to be real.

EA made a shit game

Nobody disagrees with you on this Einstein. But Bioware are the people they put in charge to make this shit game so they share a pretty huge portion of the blame I would say. But is anyone even trying to make excuses for EA?

It's something you would see in a cartoon. The writer probably failed to make it in that department

SO YOU SHOULD STILL LIKE IT SHITHEAD

Close. You should realize that it was always shit and that Bioware has never and will never make good games.

I hate trannies. I do not accept "transitioning". Separate from this I am also capable of noticing terrible writing.

Yes the series is infinitely worse than it used to be but it was only good a really long time ago

You don't want them to make it even...worse? You are crazy who cares man it was already bad

You want it to be good...AGAIN? dude lower your fucking standards!

skull fu-liker

FUCK this stupid FUCKING game

I've played it, you damn porch monkey. Not my fault you have zero idea what you're talking about. Again, you physically cannot play Fallout with a low Agility build. The game also pushes you into specific styles. For example, you can finish the game with small guns build but it'll be horribly inefficient. There's simply a viable way to play the game and no amount of memery about a dumb protagonist is ever going to change that apart from being a dumb novelty.

"""Bioware"""" isn't real, its just a name that EA owns. This is my point, its not a "Bioware" game, its an EA game that they've slapped the name Bioware on because they bought the rights to use that name. But the dev studio called Bioware is just a bunch of random gay retards they hired for cheap to do exactly what they are told to do.

This "Bioware" has never made a good game, ever, nothing they have ever worked on was worth buying. Why would that change now?

I am still butthurt that Bioware ruined this franchise I liked, and it's very funny how awful it has become.

And you should realize that you need a new playbook. Too many people have gotten wise to how you people work.

guys that made the only good game left 15 years ago

every sequel since then has been slop

"um, how do you know the next one wasn't gonna be good this time???"

Why the fuck do you have any faith in studio man? When have they EVER made a good game?

Biodrone thinks this is some kind of shilling

Poor little retard. Can't get over the fact that his studio was always shit so he incoherently tries to call everyone a tranny.

yeah but no party. Party is important for me. I want my RPG to feel like i'm teaming up with a group of interesting characters to go on a large world-saving quest, exploring cool dungeons and interesting towns/cities and BG2 scratches that itch better than any other CRPG ive played. The combat is fine but then again the only CRPGs i've played where the devs actually give a shit about interesting combat encounter design is probably Larian's stuff. Turn based or RTWP aren't any inherently better or worse, you just need good encounter design that makes the player think strategically.

I have been in like 10 dragon age threads today but I haven't seen a single tranny defending the game on it's own merits. It is 100% WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE CHUD??? That's how you know the game is truly a fucking trainwreck.

Okay so EA made a really shit game.
Everyone knows it's a shit game.
Now we're just shifting blame from Bioware to EA.
What does that change? They released a shit game and everyone knows it's shit so they're going to have a laugh about it and EA will have killed off another franchise. Did anyone ever stop hating EA? Seeing as how it was voted as the worst company ever multiple years in a row. Nobody thinks highly of EA. EA put out a shit game and kills every studio they own. Everybody knows this. But the retards they hired in this particular instance are so shitty that it's funny in its own right. Those retards ultimately are responsible for releasing a shit game, and as of right now those retards work at a company called Bioware. The name really doesn't matter, but it's clear the they don't know how to make a good game if their jobs depended on it.

Who said Veilguard was going to be good?
It's just people didn't expect it to be THIS bad.

The guy you're replying to is an insane tranny that has been on Anon Babble all day screeching at anyone making fun of this game. But he totally doesn't care though.

The power of friendship was the dragon age all along.

OIP.jpg - 474x474, 23.35K

How much you wanna bet its one of the loonytroons who worked on this game? You just know they're seething right now

safe woke
you can ignore the gay characters if you want, even kill all of them if you wish

I've played it, you damn porch monkey. Not my fault you have zero idea what you're talking about.

At best you played it once with a guide that told you to max AP. You're completely full of shit pretending it has less replayability than a game where everything plays out the same every time. Combat builds only matter if the combat is actually good, which it's not. But by all means, explain how a low int run of Fallout plays the same as a regular run, or how an evil run plays the same as a regular one.

Again, you physically cannot play Fallout with a low Agility build.

I understand that you're lying to try to pretend to have a point, but you don't actually need to pump points into agility. My first run was 6 agility and that was plenty.

and no amount of memery about a dumb protagonist is ever going to change that apart from being a dumb novelty.

What a clever way to try to write off a completely unique playthrough as a novelty. And by clever I mean completely fucking retarded. You don't get to pretend it's a novelty just because you're mad it offers an actually completely different experience. And despite all that you've written, you're not talking about anything other than combat which is both of the games in question's weakest points. You're still not talking about quests and story.

The franchise was already dead, it died when EA bought Bioware, Bioware died when EA bought them as well.

My point is that you need to stop having hope that it will get better, it was all already dead the moment EA bought the rights. I have only paid attention to this game at all to try and convince zoomers to stop being tricked by the "bioware" name, because it doesn't deserve any of the respect it has. All of the respect it has is from retards not knowing that its not the same people that made Baldur's Gate 2.

No, he says the game (that he hasn't played) is totally bad. But it's ABSOLUTELY NOT because of the obviously ridiculous SJW shit that everyone can see. It's because it probably has bad combat (even though he has not played the combat).

yeah but no party. Party is important for me. I want my RPG to feel like i'm teaming up with a group of interesting characters to go on a large world-saving quest,

Then play Wasteland 2.

Turn based or RTWP aren't any inherently better or worse

There's good and bad turn based. There's never good RTWP.

It's just people didn't expect it to be THIS bad.

Its basically exactly what I expected, I'm more impressed by the art direction for the actual areas than I expected to be, and the dialogue is awkward and stupid in a dumber way than I expected, but its about as stupid and boring as I had anticipated.

I still remember pointing out that the surgery scars are a crude addition, and getting people trying to debate that in ways that completely ignored that the devs EXPLICITLY stated it was for inclusivity. It's kind of like they think you won't remember because they have issues with object permanence themselves.

Why does western development nowadays feel like Chernobyl?

Clueless upper management

Tyrannical middle management disallowing criticism

Cucked grunts

Obvious looming disaster by outside observers

This is legitimately some of the dialogue of any AAA game in a long, long looooooooooooooong time.

It means we fuckin hate niggers n jews baby!!

LEAVE BIOWARE ALONE

the rest of the dialogue is fine.

Did you watch any of the footage saar?
ALL of the dialogue sounds like it was written for a toddler and you are given no choice to disagree with the retarded shit they are saying

Actually I got it for free and I still probably won't play it

I don't care if shekelberg and jewelstein make more or less millions. I truly don't give a single fuck.

Marvel dialogue is high art these days. Get with the programming, grandpa.

Western women live life in easy mode and still call themselves oppressed.

But by all means, explain how a low int run of Fallout plays the same as a regular run, or how an evil run plays the same as a regular one.

By doing the exact same shit you would do in any other run? The dialogue being different doesnt change shit about the game.

My first run was 6 agility and that was plenty

6 agility isn't low agility, dumbass

You're still not talking about quests and story.

What do you want me to say about the story? It's weak and boring. The world created is interesting but that doesn't make up for the complete lack of... anything really. There's no interesting dialogue nor an interesting antagonist. The game is basically > go get the water chip, now go stop the master, the end. It doesn't hold a candle on BG1 and the complexity of Sarevok's character

Return to form

What the fuck I thought we were banned from posting Alphie? He was too based for this site

Why is it that Taash is somehow the root of every conflict? I haven't seen any other companion arguing or interacting. Taash and Emmrich, Taash and Neve, Taash and Harding, Taash and Lucanis.

They don't know that men are attention starved and genuinely have things harder. If you explain to women that men don't actually get a lot of attention from women the same way women get attention from men, it can take them time to understand wtf you're talking about.

watch shill up review

all of the filler traveling party dialogue is worse than Joss Whedon writing, the elf bitch literally says something like “wow so 2 of my gods are here trying to end the world, so I guess THAT’s happening now”

At least in bg3 they bicker about wanting to kill each other

Dragon Age Veilguard makes Baldur’s Gate 3 look like Hatred

Because its the only one Anon Babble shitposts about because everyone here is afraid to break script and have an original thought that doesn't meet the pre-approved Anon Babble likes and dislikes mandate.

How the fuck is Tabletop simulator pozzed???

Fucking kek.

There was some dumbass controversy a while back where they removed global chat on the main menu because some tranny got pissed that they were banned for talking about shit like "stinky boy butts" in global chat, and they claimed that they were being oppressed

why is the hideous, narcissistic tranny the root of all conflict

Accidental moment of self-awareness on the part of the writers?

By doing the exact same shit you would do in any other run?

You need to stop talking about things you don't play. You're completely making shit up now and I'm not going to argue with a retard trying to talk about games he clearly hasn't played. No, the things you do aren't the same and more changes than the dialogue. Fallout is a good game because most quests have multiple ways to complete them.

and the complexity of Sarevok's character

Oh I think I've actually been getting trolled this whole time. No one, not even the most demented biodrone cocksucker, could pretend that Sarevok was anything even approaching complex in BG1. If you'd have brought up the iron crisis being a grounded and interesting conflict you'd have had a point, but pretend Sarevok was interesting or complex? Not a chance.

why does the character with the cringiest dialogue, bizarre plotline, and ugly as sin man face keep being passed around

I dont disagree the writing is embarrassing.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING GAMEPLAY? HOW IS IT?

Blizzard have been doing this for four expansions in WoW, but the last two in particular is genuinely for ages 3+ level, it's worse than He-Man.

Faggot you have no options to question or be mean to Trash its not well written and acts an ass in most ever scene I have seen.

The combat is monotonous and boring to the point where many reviewers turned the difficulty down to easy solely bc of how health spongy the enemies are

Hmm that's weird, is as if the self insert that talks and acts exactly like the mentally ill people it's based on creates the same kind of issues in the game and in real life.

What a coincidence

So you're saying the writing is good and well done aside from the non-binary Sims 3 satan companion?
Its only shitty writing when the character that brings up gender shit is on screen and most of the time its actually pretty well done?

Man i feel bad for zoomers and trannies (same thign). Dragon age is KINO

You need to stop talking about things you don't play. You're completely making shit up now and I'm not going to argue with a retard trying to talk about games he clearly hasn't played. No, the things you do aren't the same and more changes than the dialogue. Fallout is a good game because most quests have multiple ways to complete them.

Ok... you keep repeating the same shit like a drooling idiot. Care to explain how it is different?

If you'd have brought up the iron crisis being a grounded and interesting conflict you'd have had a point, but pretend Sarevok was interesting or complex? Not a chance.

Sarevok was a masterful writing of a villain. Someone who looks like a dumb brute turned out to be all according to keikaku 200 iq anime villain who fooled everyone around him and got everyone to kill each other. His story & his fall was pretty tragic too and you could see were he was coming from despite being an unrepentant piece of shit by the end of it. It's masterful writing that few games to this day can even match, let alone surpass and reading his journal made me feel more than the entirety of the classic Fallout games did in their entirety.

There's never good RTWP.

Growlanser

OP was referencing Emmrich and Harding

>BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING GAMEPLAY? HOW IS IT?

Slop, like the rest of the game.
Were you expecting something groundbreaking? It's mediocre.

say that is like dialogue from a cartoon for toddlers

It's worse than that, it's fanfic written by a 13 years old tier.

Ok... you keep repeating the same shit like a drooling idiot

Anon, you're lying. You're such a demented shitposting faggot obsessed with arguing that you're making shit up about a game you clearly haven't played. Why would I waste time talking about the quests when you've already shown that you don't care what's actually in the game? If you're going to pretend that only dialogue is different and not the quest structures and solutions, then don't do that with someone who's actually played the games you're talking about otherwise you'll get called out.

Sarevok was a masterful writing of a villain.

At least you have a sense of humor.

like any other AAA game ever made.

OMG ITS LE FUCKEEENN GOOOD LE DODGE AND SEPLL FUCKIKNG POG

Can you type that without the autism?

They showed a gameplay trailer at summer games fest and that’s about all you need to see
The only thing they could think to do to make it look interesting was dodge spam as if it was a soulslike or something. It was some random dragon boss in the trailer and they were constantly rolling even when they were nowhere near it

Why would I waste time talking about the quests when you've already shown that you don't care what's actually in the game?

I accept your concession.

It looks an awful lot like that asscreed style combat everything has but even less inspired and with less shit to do.

I accept your concession.

Nice try, redditor. But you got called out for lying. You haven't played Fallout, and you definitely haven't done a low int run. Sarevok is a shit character and you're a fag.

Give up, you've already lost. There's no need to embarrass yourself any further.

Care to explain how it is different?

How many ways are there to beat the last boss and beat the game in Fallout? What do they involve? Now same question but for the cardboard cutout villain in BG1 you're pretending is masterfully written because you played it as a dumb kid and were impressed with all according to keikaku villains.

Give up, you've already lost.

Sorry champ, but you lost the second you tried arguing about a game you haven't played and then blatantly lying about its best feature.

This is erasing male-to-female trans feelings.

I expect games to start using "unalived" and "pdf file" as stand-ins soon

jesus christ why are things so fucking whipped nowadays, Saint's Row used to have Keith David saying "my nigga" and a fast-food franchise called Freckle Bitch's yet a modern game in that series is terrified of looking insensitive and overcompensates with slapping 'fuck' and 'shit' everywhere, these games are M-RATED you're not peddling them to children you're selling to GROWN ADULTS THAT SHOULD KNOW BETTER, fuck shareholders and anyone under 18 has no human rights, just make a game that's not trying to hold your goddamn hand and coddle you with a therapy session because you got a papercut

8564689708.png - 500x375, 347.39K

I've been thinking the same retarded way for 8 years. Now everything sucks and I have myself to blame.

Oh don't worry there's "conflicts" for everyone. Emmerich and Harding's involve bringing books for some reason. So you get to stand there and tell the 40 year old toddlers to learn to get along

>jesus christ why are things so fucking whipped nowadays

hyper political correctness is the new trendy thing among young folx. unironically insisting that women be hired on gaming environments that used to be primarily male is an issue. Gaming audiences were always primarily male, so were the developers. They catered to male tastes, everyone was happy. Then it was insisted that game development was TOO male, and it needed to stop catering to male audiences, you know the people that actually played games, and instead give them something they didnt ask for because everyone was too afraid to speak up out of fear of being labeled a heccin sexist racist straight white male!

How many ways are there to beat the last boss and beat the game in Fallout?

2. You either battle him or convince him to give up in the most mind numbingly stupid form of dialogue that doesn't make sense.

Get some fucking taste, please. If you want a 'villain is convinced to give up' Planescape Torment does it a million times better.

if you made a stink about this on xitter and called it anti-trans you could probably bait the devs into trying to apologize and removing it

No wonder why the game doesn't have something like the Keep thingy, because Origins, DA2 and the vanilla Inquisition practically never happened in Trannyguard

I can't believe how much of Anon Babble learns basic shit from infographics instead of school or reading

1. Unless you take a rhetoric class or do something that involves debate you probably aren’t going to hear much about logical fallacies in regular schooling.
2. The reason you’ve been seeing this is because underhanded retards are incapable arguing normally so they resort to logical fallacies since your average person isn’t going to know much about them and won’t have an effective means to counter them. And as it just so happens the fags that shill and play damage control for woke shit are almost always dishonest underhanded retards.

lol lmao NO

2.

Wrong. You've lost the argument. Now stop embarrassing yourself.

What does Red Rider mean?

To quote SkillUp about this game: ''Every conversation sounds like HR is in the room''

But the things they're teaching kids in school these days is complete nonsense half of the time that anyone with eyes can see something is seriously just wrong. No wonder they look for wisdom outside of the classroom when all teachers do is feed them straight bullshit.

It's genuinely some of the most awkward dialogue I've ever heard.

im a tranny and i want the game to validate my transphobia

Opportunity cost.
Dragon Age: Origins promised such enormous potential for its sequels, and while the first two underwhelmed, the foundations remained.

The opprobrium signals a lost market that Veilguard has alienated, alerting EA that they have allowed their studio to drift too far into self-absorbed leftist politics.

Veilguard is repeating the same mistake once frequently made with homosexual characters in the medium, i.e. making it the core of their identity.
The problem isn't that Taash is non-binary;
it's that they devoted so much time and attention to it.
Instead of a brief exchange to explain her preference for neutral pronouns, devoting saved time to something more broadly compelling, they decided to harangue the audience.

More egregious, however, is that they have taken a niche, topical issue and shoehorned it into a setting ill-suited for such conversations.
The term "non-binary" alone is a glaring anachronism. Veilguard is obviously not constrained by historic social evolution, but it's not a term that would organically emerge in a world fraught with eldritch gods and countless other perils more pressing than gender identity.

Leftist millennial writers are only capable of writing themselves (and strawmen, of course), because they live entirely inside their meticulously curated echo-chambers. And the media they consume is no less insipid and juvenile.

Western AAA corporate "culture" has purged talent from the industry in favor of ideaological conformity.

What's the point of having 4 dialogue options if they're all the same thing?

Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if EA decides to only make sports games and Battlefield (which might be on the chopping block) from now on. It doesn't seem like they're even interested in renewing their license with Disney for Star Wars.

How is it even remotely similar? Not only are you never forced to agree with either of the characters in that image, you can both shit on and kill both of them. You can literally kill Shadowheart and then revive her so that you can laugh at her before killing her again.

The problem isn't that Taash is non-binary; it's that they devoted so much time and attention to it.

stop saying this. Yes Taash being non-binary is absolutely a problem because it's 21st century made up garbage for attention seekers.

That is literally not what he said and you know it lmao

I believe this is what they refer to as a "trvth nvke". Expertly explained.

I thought the reason dialogue wouldn't match word for word with the option because they couldn't fit the whole sentence on the wheel so they would shorten it. Why is the option actually longer than what is said?

Button and something awesome has to happen

Button

Awesome

Finally together in Dragon Age 2

woke but good

Huh?

how's the gameplay? i played an older one, it's obvious these games are cheesed out

Spectrum of woke. Never go full woketard.

The vocals were censored but the dev team didn't get the memo.

How the fuck do you go from the tone in DA:Origins to Veilguard? This shit shouldn't be possible. The whole point of the series originally was supposed to this gritty, realistic dark fantasy realm to separate itself from the tone of high fantasy. Now it's just super gay fantasy.

Enemies are damage sponges and all do the same 3 super telegraphed attacks.

Nothing to write home about, but not as terrible as the writing which is impossible to ignore.

Mage went from being the best most powerful class in every game to the shittiest one apparently

It's incredible that they are managing to alienate everyone. I've been lurking all over the place and even Tumblr and Resetera have criticism.
If people can overlook one thing, like the art style and the lack of import choices, they are annoyed by the inability to disagree with a companion. If they can overlook the Taash conversation, they still get annoyed that the only disagreements between companions is over banal shit. Non binaries complain that Taash flat out saying "I'm non binary " is too heavy handed. I think the game will sell okay to begin with , it'll be interesting how long it's tail lasts

Then whats his fucking point? All of the writing is fucking bad why single out that I can't be a dickhead to the stupid non binary character as if thats gonna make me go "WHAT?? WELL I WAS GOING TO BUY THE GAME FOR THAT BUT THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW!"

It's a watered-down GoWR coupled with a skill system that you would expect from a mobile gacha game.

the trans character has the maturity of a teenage progressive on twitter and requires the entire world to bend to the whims of whatever it's pronoun is or whatever gender it's feeling like and it can't even decide their own stance on things, somehow being pro-and-anti religion at the same time and is ranting about hilariously unimportant politics 24/7

Bioware wrote the trans stereotype as perfectly as the black stereotype in ME2.

The biggest criticism I have is the blatancy in attempting to call it a dragon age game while discarding the spirit of a Dragon Age game. It's pretense, it's a sham, it's misrepresentation, it's misleading people. There is just no honesty in calling it a Dragon Age game. Inquisition did that, too, but not this hard and this blatantly.

It's pretense, it's a sham, it's misrepresentation, it's misleading people.

Sorta like calling the dev studio "bioware"

Steven Universe would

Damn it's almost like it's a shit game across the board. But reviewers game it 9s and 10s...very strange.

waste

Heh, it's downright fraud on some level. That's why I'm confused by people parading the sales numbers. You're parading a successful scam. It's a Trojan Horse.

Might be one of the most obnoxious things i have ever seen in game

It originally meant that you are aware of the mistreatment of minorities (just blacks) like 200 hundred years ago.

Not it's just an excuse s

"Return to form"

This dialogue “choice” is literally in order. 1, 2, 3, and 4. It just makes a sentence

What? You can't be mean in the game? Sucks to be you I guess.

maxresdefault.jpg - 1280x720, 62.25K

FO4 has more role-playing options then Dragon Age

Impressive

You can romance everyone and when you pick one nobody mentions it again, you can't even get jealousy

Honestly, the overall structure of romance is one of the weaker aspects of the game. The writing of the romance is occasionally good, but the overarching monotony of rejecting everyone is fucking bad.

Definitely a return to form for the lying, fraudulent, BOUGHT OUT HACKS ALTERNATIVELY KNOWN AS GAME JOURNOS

At the very least I don't want that, punish me for it or whatever, but at least let me engage with the NB bullshit, have something to actually say about it, don't just shove words in my characters mouth to force me to be a good little affirming bitch boy.

Let me guess the writer is a women?

Absolutely 100% true. Mulan is cool. Eowyn in LotR is cool.
A woman wanting to be a man or a man wanting to be a woman for some reason can be a cool story.
Modern trans culture is incredibly self-indulgent in comparison. This is another highlighting of it.

and neither of those things are the same as someone being "nonbinary" and using "they/them pronouns"

We're witnessing the definitive end of leftist art. Their worldview has been pushed to such a point and the stakes have gotten so high for them that all they can do now is preach and moralize—they can't afford to leave any room for dissent and transgression. Their ideology is now that of some sort of HR department, kindergarten, retirement home hybrid.

No, worse: non-binary.

This is something I recognized a while ago when I hear their critique of art.
They can't see the soul in old high art so they call it soulless. They can't see the spirit so they call it bland. They can't see the statement every single stroke of paint and shape tells so they call it hollow. It's their interpretation that's devoid of meaning. It's a skill issue on their part.

there isn't actually a "lean" to it, its used on both sides for whatever they want.

The old devs are long gone. Their visions have been completely changed to fit a modern audience's taste under HR's supervision

...Dear God.

erveryone memes mage as being the best in spite of only one tree being useful

warrior has two useful and one OP, two more useable trees than Mage

"NERF THE GROUP THAT'S BEING GENOCIDED DUE TO THEIR STRENGTH"

fucking hate devs that don't play their own games

What sales numbers? Nobody has any real numbers right now, anon.

Actually kinda like the chud mother’s design.

in most game history ive never heard of a universe were the mage is so bad that warrior trumps it

because I played the first one and it seems horrible to me that each sequel is objectively worse than the previous one.

11 hours until it releases

Enemies are all huge damage sponges to the point where a lot of reviewers switched to easy just for some relief, but that point got completely lost because they all ignored it to give it 9 out of 10 scores
Both of the jewtubers that gave it bad scores mentioned it as well as several of the big outlet positive reviews, Shill Up said he wished he had switched to easy 10 hours prior bc it would have saved time

true

EA should have mercy killed Bioware a decade ago. Letting it live on like this is far more monstrous.

THIS IS A RETURN TO FORM YOU FUCKING BIGOT

you mash a single button and animations are desynced garbage

Right you are, but there's still people doing it. There's crazy people of all colors, I guess. It's pre-orders (scam) of a scam.
What I'm pointing out is that only EA and associates win if it's doing well. That's a fucking strange boat to find yourself on unless you're paid by EA.

read one of the big journoscum reviews for lels

the writing fucking sucks

BUT IT’S A HECKIN RETURN TO FORM CHUDS

who do they think they’re fooling when writing/characters was the selling point for good bioware games
That was the huge complaint about andromeda was that the gunplay was the best part but the writing, characters, and world-building was terrible

terminally online Twitter trannies somehow got hired to write a script for a video game

video game has traditionally had lots of conversations

the terminally online Twitter trannies have never had a conversation in real life before

they craft their "dialogue" in ways that would prevent anyone from conceivably getting triggered by anything

the result is conversations that no one would ever actually have

the only examples they have to pull from are childhood memories from when their parents didn't hate them

it doesn't really , I just brush through for comedic relief.

fuckin Gilgamesh had

weakling in need of care > incredible beast of a being

shit exists for a reason, that's not even touching how shitty it feels to find out you're dragging dead weight gameplay-wise

YOU GUYS ARE GETTING MAD ABOUT A GIRLY GAME FOR GIRLS

PLAYING VEILGUARD WILL LITERALLY GIVE YOU COOTIES

this rats can only hijack IPs as anything they create instantly drops to the shitter like concord

he's going to buy and play it just to see if reviews are right

complains how shitty game is it afterwards and how he was tricked

This is probably the most woke game that has ever been released. It literally has trannies and you're only allowed to be positive affirmative of it while being HECKIN WHOLESOME CHUNGUS

People are talking about it because woke shit just gets forced harder and harder and ignoring it doesn't make it go away

I’m very confused why the shills for this game are acting like it’s a wukong/bg3 tier owned moment because it’s like #4 or whatever on the sales charts
Reeks of desperation honestly

Based radfem blowing her cover to clap back at a coomer moid. TFV

erm polyamory is ok you chud

I might have played this game if it was more like Origins
I mean I knew it wouldn't happen after Inquisition, but I'm still kinda sad that this seems to be far worse than a game that was already dogshit

I was never going to bc regardless of the woke shit dragon age has always been kinda meh

It is embarrassing but the trannies will defend it because “you aren’t criticizing it for the right reasons”. At least you can get catharsis knowing these braindead writers went into $200,000 of debt in order to get their degrees in gay feminist literature

If you're still buying or caring about Bioware games in 2024 you got to be a loser.

dex.jpg - 1470x1080, 398.97K

And the dialog sounds like they're talking to an 8 year old. It's so goddamn embarrassing.

after this fiasco they will try to convince you that ai is better (it is compared to this shit)

they made the game as ugly as they possibly could on purpose

they took inspiration from Tony Stark for character interactions and dialogue

they made the gameplay as unfun and derivative from an RPG as possible

they added peak modernity trans and faggot shit to it

they expect you to guzzle it up and hate you for thinking otherwise

I…I just want to play a good fantasy game man.

Why?!.jpg - 295x449, 21.98K

That actually does surprise me. I can't believe they even contrived her parents to be there in an action scene. I guess I can believe it now that I think about it, yet somehow I thought they wouldn't use this cliche too.

I could stomach 2 minutes then I had to close the video. I sincerely hopes this flop so another disaster like this can't be made again

I need them to lose a lot of money but not enough to cancel mass effect 4 just enough that they are forced to fire the diversity hires and get back to actually fucking making games for people who play games

You can’t make this shit up

IMG_6091.jpg - 1162x774, 135.83K

It's so weird that they use this hands-on-hips thing so often and for so many characters. They look like little kids to me.

MC tries to discipline Taash for getting out of line with Neve.

Neve: "Relax, Rook. I'm a big girl."

Something simple as that just reeks of tumblr cunt writing.

You see the large woman loudly explaining to her family the righteousness and truth of her new nonbinary identity? Then you see how everyone immediately closes in for a hug and validates the new nonsense identity that nobody can define? That's it, right there.

I know what I have to do! I'm pulling a Barve!

I know people that will play this and not find anything wrong with it.

deranged

Mass effect 4 has absolutely 0% chance to be good at this rate. They would need to fire everyone and rehire retired devs

At least in inquisition, you find out about the tranny in one exchange and almost immediately were able to send the entire squad in a suicide mission in retaliation. That's what they get for hiring one (1) troon.

Well after this one it should be enough to kill off the franchise.

TROONS

SHALL

NOT PASS

Why do you even care?

How does this affect your life???

I could have had a good game for a change

You're never going to play this game

and I would have played it

Apparently they've stripped out even more RPG mechanics and you can't make complex choices for companions beyond a simple upgrade tree or switch to them in combat.

I can't believe I recognize you based on you reaction gif. use other things, man

That's right chuddus. Apologizing for misgendering is never enough. You need to punish yourself physically!

What the fuck

So when do we end the assault of copyright against shared human culture? It has to be stopped sometime right? The Mouse can't truly be all powerful.

There has to be a difference between copying a work in its entirety and writing your own kind of sequel in a shared universe. Is not wanting a 3rd party sequel really really about copyright or is it actually a trademark issue that's been successfully disguised?

postmodern intersectional jihad

Role playing game

The only role Rook has is to support these cunts at every point

Why?

God. I feel awful for him. The fact that his mental illness caused him to hack his perfectly healthy genitals off is disturbing. And he's one of the writers for this abominable game.
He has the eyes of a dead man.

Who cares. On a long enough timeline gender changes will be normal

and yet I choose to believe

Use Him.jpg - 3840x2160, 3.68M

this game is unironically the litmus test for the AAA shills, 3 months ago they successfully enough drones with stellar reviews to make Starfield a commercial succes, but that comes at a price, will the same retards that got scam into buying Starfield buy Dragon Age?

Find out in 10 hours

Dragon age is leagues better than Starfield

"why don't they just learn this in school"

school teaches you to cut off your genitals and hate your white skin

okay schlomo

opposite, one is bland and boring the other is offensively bad

It certainly used to be.

Nah kinofield was great, it has to be appreciated like launch no mans sky.

who cares

Anybody with the basic sense to know that we don't perform "gender changes" we just perform destructive cosmetic surgery. Maybe in the future we'll have the magic nanotech to arbitrarily change sex, but right now we have butchery.

same, this is so silly, what's there to talk?, just bite the bullet and endure you horned bitch. you live in a fantasy world where somehow women have similar stats to men for some reason, what else you want?

Veilguard isn't

willful retard at this point. a spiteful troon. do not mourn for this creature.

I do this all the time
me in the picture

the reaction images and hyperbolics about his emotions screams zoomie, it's how they communicate to one another on twitter.

Fucking this. He does not have a vagina. He has a seeping open wound so he can play pretend and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

russian spaz has an entire copypasta list of meaningless bullshit

Anon, you're supposed to see it as a low IQ hostile power trying to manipulate you with culture war faggotry, not treat it as if a human being is having a discussion with you.

It looks funny.

I wondered why I had seen this phrase so much lately

because they site is flooded with jewish bots like (You)

Oh yeah you recognize me anon? Go ahead, say my name

Vileguard somehow has infinitely worse writing than even Shartfield, which is an accomplishment.

they lost the fifa license

Didn't realize this but honestly true.
I've been shitposting this game off and on for awhile now and I've yet to see one person who claims to like it reference one positive attribute about it.
Deep down even they know it's shit lol.

Really joggin the fuckin noggin.

how EA makes money now? they lost FIFA
Sony gone retarded and lsot like 500m on concord
how long will it last before somebody has a bright idea this shit doesn't sell?

I regreted every second of Andromeda and still finished it. I can't do it again bros...
I don't care about the shitty bald elf anymore. I'll imagine the Inquisitor used his unending faith on Andraste to kill Solas and every elf converted to the true faith. The end.

Yup, soon we'll have the technology to completely change sweat glands, bone size/density, muscle size/density, organ size/density, sweat hormones, skin texture, hair follicles, shoulder/hip widths and, most importantly, brain sizes/structure for a brand new gender!
I hope your kind dies off before any more butchery is committed on children.

I regreted every second of Andromeda

I liked the views and the combat, dialogue was meh and story lacked grit
DAA looks like 3 tier below Andromeda though, reminds me of WD Legion and Saints Row
what happened to QA culture?

funny how soviets invented sex change, it was the long game, america will fall because of it.

Solas was never all that great of a character anyway.
He was simply the shiniest turd in the Inquistor's chamber pot alongside Varric.
He get's all the rep he does simply because the bar under the ground for good Dragon Age companions.
Once again, Origins is the only game in this series to deliver on yet another front.

probably fired any QA people who raised any issues for being racist / sexist / transphobic

Bait, but I'll try my hand because I'm a little bored.
"Woke" can be defined as: A frivolous and aggressive push for radical political and social change in favor of non-white, disabled, non-male (read: female, feminist men, and other groups of deluded individuals with a desire to stand out by saying they're some third, hidden option), and politically-left-identifying groups made under the mask of a push for "inclusivity" and "representation" for these groups. To describe something as "woke" is to accuse it of possessing qualities in favor of the previously-described subversion, usually through changes meant to offend or displease people outside of the aforementioned groups (typically boiling down to heterosexual, able-bodied Caucasian men). Things which can be described as "woke" often also possess themes of anti-beauty and anti-family, making claims that beauty standards are unhealthy and that a functional traditional family dynamic is wrong and unstable.
To call DA:V woke is to call its creators out for pushing gender politics and into the setting with the grace and subtlety of a sledgehammer being pushed through a window, for including real-world races as variants of fantasy races and species for the sole purpose of diluting the presence of Caucasian characters under the guise of "inclusivity", and and for blowing off the series' original fanbase to instead cater to people who have little-to-no interest in playing video games at all, but who instead possess a desire as strong as the developers' for a greater presence of "woke" qualities in the world.
In short: To call something woke is to call it unsubtly subversive and to point out its blatant aggression towards men, white people, straight people, and anyone remotely wealthy or financially well-off.

Spoilers been out for months retard, they retconned the game now solas is gone after the prologue and it's the equivalent to Johnny Silverhand and you can only talk to him on the hub.

what's the full dialogue? is there omeone who uts this thing in its place for saying that? is there an option for the player? actions have consequences you now

this is not funny, faggot, it's fucking terrible, BILLIONS MUST DIE (unironically)

You know, the advertising worked. I think I'm going to They're still charging $30 for DA:Origins, and it's $17 for just the base game on a cd key reseller site, unfucking real
don't tell me you thought this was going to be about buying the new one

solas was also shit without the DLC, if not for tresspasser nobody would even remember DAI was a thing

actually, fuck me for hoping DAA would be on Trespasser level, that was the hope for the game
now I'm upset about this whole thing.

I feel awful for him

don't

On a long enough timeline

maybe in 1 thousand years

allowed to feel things

so they hired babyinc

Good fucking GOD.
This is beyond anything I ever fucking imagined, holy shit. This is a fucking parody game, it has to be.

nobody rebukes that line, the whole scene is about coddling the tranny while she throws a fit

I haven't seen a single tranny defending the game on it's own merits

seems to run free of bugs
no, I'm not a tranny, I denounce the talmud

I thought you were going to have something like COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM spoilered.

game director is a tranny. that unironic kind.
imagine the faces of all the programmers who painstakingly optimized this shit? technologically game is great.

i just don't understand why transgenders and their issues are a huge talking point in this medieval high fantasy game,i reeeeally don't get it

these remind me of customer service training videos

smooth aids

no, thanks

What's the current word for this faggotry? Is it back to woke? Euphemism treadmill has went from SJW, woke, DEI, ESG, and probably at least two other terms I'm forgetting.

they wrote a realistic tranny

dilate

I am gonna play this game, for free. Or watch my friend do so, for free. And its gonna be a glorious weekend.

I think we are at plain "retarded" at this stage.

It’s called fleshcrafting

Go back. And then post spoilers.

It's because the tranny writers are massive narcissists and have to make everything about them.

I don't love that your companions don't have health bars

Everybody knows what woke is, you people just pretend you don't because you can't help but be disingenuous faggots everytime you make an appearance.

Woke - The ceaseless push to insert social progressive idpol (via plot, characters, etc) into media to function as agitprop.
In a broader sense it can also simply be used to label one whose beliefs align with the social progressive platform.

There easy, now fuck off and quit wasting everyones time.

I don't know, I wish I could feel that genuinely excited for a game like that again

yeah... (((soviets))). picrel is the pioneer of tranny butchery, btw. the first patient for tranny butchery is also kosher.
thought you should know.

Not suprising. Anything but a full throttle approval of their way of life is an attack on them

this dialogue seems written by someone really autistic

Okay Taash's personal quest is about gender, good news, recruit her and then never speak to her again

Also way to make her 2 dimensional

Origins is also shit and not worth playing so it doesn't make much difference.

You can't, even the sarcastic option from DA2 is gone. All you can do is being fake and give false praise and lie.

i will play this for free and laugh

fleshcrafting: an alchemical art invented by a demon lord

a Anon Babble game has made the connection between flesh mortification and trannyism before most people caught on

why the fuck didn't we listen?!

You can't not do "her" quest, lol. It's required to finish the game.

Is she 12?

help I can't manage my emotions

Feels like HR is in the room

I can't even think of a game off the cuff where companion quests are necessary to finish the main plot.

You just know they knew that anybody who got suckered into buying this thing would try to skip the fag shit so they made it mandatory lol.

there is a vast world of difference in the portrayal of androgyny in classical art and antiquity, the "I'm a man/woman" we have now is entirely self-indulgent and almost flippant as a result of complacent and apathetic first-world societies with a lack of serious, threatening issues that aren't entirely self-inflicted

I think he means games like Baldurs Gate 1+2, and he is wrong because Icewind Dale is kino.

Has it Concorded yet? I'm bored.

in 12 hours.

Will they finally kill Bioware or will they waste another 150m on new ME and then kill it?

Sounds shitty but I don't give a single fuck about Solas, honestly.

Dragon age is leagues better than Starfield

It certainly used to be.

This means that Dragon Age 1 and 2 are infinitely better then Starfield. I don't consider DATV a dragon age game and its so obvious to me that I mistakenly didn't clarify that.
I'm not really sure what your reply meant. But now that I think about it, It kind of seems like you think I like Inquisition and that is pissing me off actually. Fuck you faggot.

Yeah, it sounds incredibly autistic. It's really fucking weird.

Uhhh you like something I don't like???? I don't understand. This doesn't make any sense. You're wrong.

It reads like the writers have only ever interacted with therapists and their echo chamber of other mentally ill freaks their entire life.

Fuck you and your shitty marketing psyops.

It's the word your leftist friends made up to describe themselves until normal people saw how fucking repulsive they are so now they have to pretend they don't know what it means.

They don't have a real animation team anymore, they're making due with old animations from older games

proceeds to shit on his whole point by posting here

How many people bought Concord and Dustborn due to the whole internet laughing at them? 5 people?

All publicity is good publi--

Oops.

The stiffness of the animations and the AI tier voice acting makes this look super unfinished.

uhh...what are you doing?

Pulling a 'barv

Oh.

I couldn't pick a threat to tack this onto so this one is fine

Why are so many mainstream videogames so fucking flat and toothless now? All dialogue is boring and dull, no one is ever allowed to be mean, nothing bad can ever happen, and god forbid you feel a negative emotion at any point even if it's to make the payoff better later down the line. Even children like a little bit of edge, so you can't even say videogames are for kids now.

A good example is that garbage last FFXIV expansion. That game had, up to that point, put a lot of effort into themes of grim realities of war; mass rape of invaded towns and women sold as pleasure women, ex-soldiers suicide bombing relief efforts as a final act of defiance, being forced to kill someone who is morally right but who's interest are against yours, your character getting framed for murder and the world turning against you, etc. Then Dawntrail comes out and literally everything is solved with a hug, and the most negative it dares to get is "well we have to kill all these clones of real people but don't worry they're not REAL people so you don't have to feel bad!". There's even a point where you go to the "dangerous and lawless" wild west, only to find cowboys duel with rubber bullets so no one gets hurt.

Why is everything so infantalized and boring now?

But the journos told me these leaks aren't real

some people mess up and make it all about themselves

literally talks about herself and her culture for two minutes after misgendering someone else

Consciously adding faggotry and other useless shit that only tumblr/twitter faggots care about.

oi we do a baaaa've when we misgender it

where's the dialogue option to tell them that's retarded?

Could not watch the whole thing, reaks of California writing

It's not even faggot shit or anything that's really disgusting about it, there are plenty of gay artists who made gay art that was excellent in the past, these new gays are just aesthetically warped and disgusting, they are mutated biologically or psychologically in some way that is affecting the part of the brain that judges aesthetics, which should be the same in everyone, so that things that should give them a reaction similar to looking at a rotting corpse instead seem beautiful to them.

Does the game even have a single speech option where you disagree with a companion?

slaanesh did this
its why they love purple so much

so what's the deal with non-binary anyway?

I'm not a man or a woman

how?

because I'm not

why?

just because

what's being gained here

they are not wrong

I like that soft purple color and the fags ruined it, lt's a pretty, soft color that looks like one of the main colors pure LSD crystal makes you see and was used in raves and stuff for years before due to this, now it is the color of corporate slop.

Cheap way to get attention from everyone without having to commit to taking a bunch of body altering drugs and mangling your genitals.

>I will be a straight white male human and there is nothing you can do!

>manlet

Thats just being petty at this point

Actually brilliant to surprise you with this once the game has started and you're less likely to restart. If they revealed the manletry in character creation you might change it then, but this way they've id'ed you as a MAGA rat and are forcing you to live through hours of humiliation.

Its the zeitgeist of 2020s. Like being hippie in the 60s, punk in the 80s, gangsta in the 90s and emo in the 00s.

As this anon described the greater implication is that large sums of finite resources are being spent by publishers to make games that fail to meet industry expectations for quality while using DEI to deflect criticism for their shit storytelling and buggy gameplay. Alternatively, if it's successful despite those flaws, then other developers and publishers could seek to emulate those same lazy development practices into future releases, and then it becomes a race to the bottom. It's disingenuous to pretend that releases like this don't reflect or impact the greater direction of the industry and the implications that has for other titles.

it means having strong views on gender roles in a society and not wanting to comply with either. Rather than rethinking the gender roles they want to be unique.

I.e. they could say

Men can wear whatever clothing they want

they say

Men should wear men's clothing but I want to wear women's clothing

is it really that much of a problem that she's bringing 8 books?

9 actually

9 books

That dialogue isn't even that bad. Calm the fuck down.

Children unable to articulate properly using the lingo of the era. You'll often see them say that they don't feel like one or the other, but this is self contradictory because if it were an actual phenomenon, they wouldn't know what feeling like one or the other is to begin with. This is why most of them are fucking teenagers in their self actualisation phase, but we've got jewish psychologists running around trying to get people into plastic surgery or on medication to turn a buck.

enbies are just quirky little attention whores who dont suffer from dysphoria, but want people to pay attention to their big coming out event, where nothing changes. They dont change how they speak, dress, or act. They just continue being the person they always were.

they believe it gives them power, like worshipping satan

All of that is based, though. Any company/game that tries this shit should be poisoned by it and fucking die like Concord now that normalfags are finally wising up. The upcoming AAA collapse can't come soon enough.

That dialogue is the absolute extreme of the party conflict that happens in the entire game which is the fucking problem

I thought they teased polygamic relationship. It's the old "choose one" kind of deal?

wouldn't be very shocking for LGBTQP+ to be aimed at kids

being a unique snowflake. remember when "snowflake" was used like this, i.e. correctly?

Eowyn in LotR is cool.

A woman wanting to be a man or a man wanting to be a woman for some reason can be a cool story.

and in the end eowyn embraces her femininity and marries faramir, which is why it's a good story
but you will never see that in western media again

if you guys think all the pronoun bullshit is bad in english, you haven't heard about the german localization of this game kek

What do you mean isn't even that bad? Adult characters trying to save the world are arguing because one of them is bringing to many books to a camping trip

read all that in Professor's voice

It was something else. Thanks anon.

Are you fucking serious? What? Was it cringe when Leliana talked about how cute nugs were in Orzammar? I'm not even kidding here. I don't fucking see what point you're trying to make.

I don't speak nazi

Origins is fun I went around blasting everyone with lightning

So? It's not like every rpg party needs to be at each other's throats. You can tell stories about a group of friends too you know. I'm not even defending this game. I think it'll be shit. But some of this criticism is just asinine.

What would you say is the mental maturity of someone arguing because someone else is bringing too many books to a camping trip? Give me a number

What the fuck are you talking about you weirdo? It's a completely innocuous topic of discussion. Are you autistic?

Yes but the ragtag band of lovealot carebears fighting through a completely nonthreatening world to defeat a simplistic evil isn't a compelling fucking story. There is *no* conflict.

The world is ending and you're interceding in the most childish and pointless not-even-an argument imaginable. Your companions act like early teenagers.

Yeah you are either doing damage control or are surrounded by man children irl. I have no interest in roleplaying as a tard wrangler

There are a shit ton of assumptions in that statement. None of which have anything to do with the original point of criticism. Which is that the dialogue is cringe.

remember that video that came out of a video game makers conference talking about how player choice "violated" the will of the character being played? and how game studios should be careful with the choice granted to the players so they don't victimize the character?

I think this game is where those whackos ended up.

Where do you think you are? People argue about stupid shit all the time. You're literally doing that right now.

I have no interest in roleplaying as a tard wrangler

Seemingly cause you're already playing the part of the tard.

I forgot about it but the spanish translation uses neutral gender dialogue like Spiderman 2

as opposed to validate your mental illness?

Where do you think you are? People argue about stupid shit all the time. You're literally doing that right now.

what a retarded fucking argument
you are insanely stupid
dialogue in a fantasy game should not play out like a series of reddit posts

I knew that was the natural conclusion of "the character didn't consent to be sexy"

Dialogue should always move the story forward or tell something relevant, it should be meaningful. Like I expected something more interesting, one character is a necromancer, the other is a dwarf with no access to the fade. You think the guy who literally summons demons from the fade to puppet dead bodies for him would raise some issues with your teammates, but nope, they are angry because he is taking 9 books with him in some journey.

Does no one care that mages are constantly under the risk of demon possession anymore? Are blood mages even a thing those days?

I don't know man, maybe we are just seeing the 5% shitty dialogue, and the remaining 95% is well written. But when you have fantasy characters talking about being non-binary in a goddamn fantasy world that just survived two apocalypses back to back, it gives me the feeling of the writers caring more about political stuff than actually caring about writing a good story.

Dialogue in a game should not reflect real life

Ok

It's used on both sides, sure, but one side uses it with a positive connotation, and the other uses it with a negative connotation. It's possible for the right to use it in a positive way, but even then, they're using it ironically as if to lampshade a joke.

Ignore the troll

in the german language there is no equivalent to the singular version of "they". so instead of "they" have to come up with so called neo-pronouns for the whole localization of the game.
the game is literally full of xe/xim/xir as pronouns but just many different flavours of it. in the picture "de" "hen" "hem" are these neo-pronouns which most ordinary people dont even know about. apparently the whole game is completly gendered using these in the german localization. this shit is completly immersion breaking.

Dialogue should always move the story forward or tell something relevant, it should be meaningful

Ideally, sure. I'm not even saying the game has good writing. I'm just pointing out that that specific interaction isn't a good example either which way.

where do you think you are

In a place where the world isn't ending outside my window.

We're not heroes saving the world, we come here to waste our time

Someone disagrees with me? They must be a troll!

Or maybe you're acting like a histrionic bitch.

Reddit isn't real life
it would be shit if the characters communicated using Anon Babble memes, too

Do you think soldiers in war never say or do stupid shit? It's not like you stop being human just cause you have an important job.

Someone made a video of all the Cringe interactions with the "Trash" character, but EA took it down via Copyright strike: youtube.com/watch?v=CYzTNy1y7KU

Definitely don't look at or share any of these ahead of their Big Game Launch tomorrow, EA wouldn't want that.

Anon soldiers on the frontlines probably aren't planning camping trips and throwing fits because their fellow soldier is bringing *too many books*

Now it's just super gay fantasy.

apparently every romanceable companion is explicitly pansexual, not even playersexual, just to be more inclusive
combined with that misgendering webm and the fact that you can't even be rude to any of your companions and this game feels like a big gay hugbox that wants gays/trannies to be as placated as possible

It's funny, why does it have to affect me personally? Does people mocking this game affect you personally? I feel like that should be something for you to work on, as opposed to demanding other people behave in a way you find acceptable. Unless you are shitposting in which case: why are you such a faggot?

Do you have any idea how many pics there are of WW2 soldiers doing stupid shit?

I imagine that garbage kills future sales from normie fans. Not that Bioware has a future anyway

The infantilization, distraction and exhaustion of the public through dark twists on Noble Truths. This presents itself as irrational censorship and prioritization of a diseased logic over beauty and prosperity.

I've surgically removed by genitals so that I can claim a permanent gooch wound is a vagina and take a photo of my stubble

Cat Screaming.jpg - 890x839, 68.26K

Yes, they weren't literally on the battlefield, in the trenches, having petty arguments about fucking books for their camping trip and needing to be talked to like toddlers.

Uh... Based?!!!
Welcome to the winning team, Taash

Hen gibt hens Bestes und hat mit vielen Veränderungen zu kämpfen - und hen hilft, wo hen kann.

Hen will niemanden belästigen aber könntet Ihr hen auf der Durchreises besuchen und nach hem sehen?

What in the shitting fuck is this abomination?
'hen' is somehow simulteneously a replacement for 'er' and 'ihn', but then 'hens' is supposed to be a replacement for 'sein' and 'hem' is replacing 'ihm'?

I hope Bioware and whatever localization team looked at their gender pronoun bollocks and agreed to do this get hit with a class-action lawsuit for driving down IQs globally by making this shit.

americans (EA) have unlocked a whole new level of wokeness, it's disgusting. it almost feels like the game was completely written by google AI lmao

tells her mom she's non-binary

"huh, are you aqun-athlok? sounds like what you are saying"

"WTF NO WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY FOR ME

her mom was pretty accepting desu, what a fucking bitch

it unironically is better than 80% of human professional writers and 99% of vidya writers. hollywood is already using it and game devs as well but nobody will talk about it publically because the fear from backlash is real. you'd be surprised how good a jailbreaked AI can perform with good prompting. it still can't write whole books but you could technically use it to turn average writer into a 21st century shakespeare.

don't put down 90s cartoons like that. They were written very smartly so kids and adults could enjoy them. They either learned more serious, like this
youtube.com/watch?v=_V5139qnQpk
or had "over the head jokes" that parents would get and kids wouldn't but would still find silly (Freakazoid, Tiny Tunes)
