Finally, who cares about gameplay or other features, this is what It needed to sell millions of copies.
God I hate this kind of argument. “Your stupid little game is about wizards and dragons and stuff, that means we should have free rein to inject modern identity politics or anything else we want, what do you care, it’s fantasy!!”No it's not, and you are doing a diservice to the writters that actually care about the worlds they build when saying stuff like that.
If you must just get a used copy. You get to play the game you want without funding it and the insane people that made it.Thanks for the heads up. I was considering buying it but it will need very good impressions here on GAF for me to buy now, since it is aimed at queer audiences.
I thought you were kidding but nope, you’re right:
Developer Story: Corinne Busche
Our latest edition of Developer Stories shows how a career path can take you to different places but still lead you right where you belong. Today the spotlight is on Game Director Corinne Busche wh…blog.bioware.com
And the idea of being who you want to be carries a particularly special meaning for Corinne. “As a queer trans woman,” she says, “I have a perspective on the games that not everyone has. Dragon Age has long been a place where LGBTQIA+ folks can see people like themselves, represented respectfully. It’s inherently very queer, and it’s such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted. It’s so deeply meaningful for so many. I often get emotional when I think about what it would have meant for a younger version of myself to see someone like her in a game, and as a hero, no less. I hope we can be a safe place for our queer players to know they are not alone, that they are brilliant and worthy, that they are not only welcome but celebrated.”
well done. it's all in the details...Apparently he has 15 years of industry experience.

Alright, i didn't watched the timestamp before replying... i did now.
Jesus B. Christ... what the hell.
"His place in the world and who he is..."
W-what is this shit? Who ARE these "people"?!
I’m not buying it.Dragon Age went from a Dark fantasy Lord of the Rings to basically LGBTQI+ Dungeons & Dragons. It's insane how different the first game is from Veilguard. Will i buy it? Yes. Will i like it? Probably not.
Yeah, I'm of two minds on this subject. I am sick of the way a lot of devs talk online, their purple haired pics with their black trans lives matter line in their bios, none of that really matters in gaming. RGP's have had same sex romance options in them for a long time and rightfully so, these are games for everyone and romancing people is generally optional.thinking a little about it, I don't see this as that big a deal even if it is true. they're not pushing it as some front and center selling point or that you HAVE to use that companion or what not. it's just there, that's all. I think we can accept at least that much. it's when they're forcing us to accept these sorta things without other choices that I'll be against it. thou I've never played any of the other games in the series, so I can't speak for the fans, of course.
as the world economic forum'd say, 'in the future, you will own nothing'. well, other than your gender, it'd appear. i'm thinking it's sorta their consolation prize to the younger generation?...That being said I don't believe "non binary" is a real thing anyway, nobody wakes up and says "I feel like a man/woman" they feel like themselves as an individual who happens to be either a man or a woman. This whole "I don't feel like either thing" is just a way for boring people to try to make themselves interesting and sadly to people of a certain age group it seems to work.
Nerf N-Strike Elite!? Wow! That's really close to Super Mario Galaxy.Apparently he has 15 years of industry experience.

FtfyDragon age died with DA2.
Don't forget the exquisitely delightful Alyssa mercante.We really need to hold some sort of Gaming LOLcow of the Year tournament. This year's lineup has quite a lot of strong contenders: Ubisoft, Concord/Firewalk Studios, Dustborn, Sweet Baby Inc, Rebekah Valentine (Black Myth Wukong hitpieces), the Genshin Impact "boycott", and DA: Veilguard.

Why do I need to know that my companion is non-binary?
Holy shit, she was the level designer of surf 'n' turf elite on wii?!Apparently he has 15 years of industry experience.

A bit more. His linkedin shows a few PS2/Xbox 360 era Tiger Woods games under his belt.Apparently he has 15 years of industry experience.

Regardless of the “woke” stuff, I don’t think Bioware has long to live at this point.Godspeed, Bioware. Not long now until you’re of put out of your misery.
I tell ya…I’ve hit a low point this year as well. Everything seems to be a slogThis hobby is trash. I’m over it.
People seem pretty confident this will flop. I wouldn’t be so sure, Dragon Age has good sized following. I think Inquisition was BioWare’s highest selling game.
That fanbase u speak of, are ppl like myself who loved DA:I and played/enjoyed whole 120h of it back at launch, and lemme tell u something- we are absolutely disgusted with how new DA is shaping up to be, our hard earned money will stay in our wallets, there are plenty promising games out there that will apreciate our support insteadDragon Age has a fan base to speak of, thirsty for a return to glory. I doubt it fails like Concord, which had zero fanbase. The game may sell okay, but it may not be enough for the company to keep BioWare alive. I hope I am wrong and it is received well. But honestly, Baldurs Gate 3 kind of set a new bar for these types of games.
Agreed. Easy for me to make a decision lion whether to buy this shit or not. I have plenty to keep me occupied and will gladly skip this bullshit.Dragon age veilguard will become the second biggest flop after concord.
Go ahead. Roll the dice. Idk how many times these retards want to test the waters with gamers and their fucking stupid ass woke agenda nonsense in games.
How many of them actually “pretend” so they can easily land a job at those companies?Corinne Busche (@corinne_at_last) on Threads
