This is not killing a franchise. It's pissing on its grave.
Definitely. Guess we will have to hold on to the classic DA.
There was never a real franchise, it pretty much died after Origins
@@JohnWhiteHereeverything after was just fan fiction
Grave?! You think they respect it enough to bury it?
@@JohnWhiteHere Very much so, Dragon Age is just something they slap on the title since its a IP but each game seem to be its own thing, there is no real identity gameplay wise as the first game was BioWare making a "traditional" party based RPG that was what got it acclaimed withe everything after was chasing the current fad.
BioWare been dead for quite a while, I am not even blaming EA outside they supplying the rope but they didnt made the nose or put it on their neck, BioWare did it ...
Modern day Bioware would never do the City Elf origin story.
Modern Bioware will give you pronoun options, though.
Then you'll have people come out of the woodwork to say it makes perfect sense for a medieval-fantasy setting to have non-binary pronouns, that it totally isn't the developers' (or consultants) ideological beliefs bleeding into the game.
Reminder they had a blighted dwarf singing about being turned into brood mothers. They were dark and edgy, and now they're corporate and make me want to jump off a ledgy.
That was my first playthrough when it came out. I chose that female city elf origin. That story was so dark.
City elf was best background I loved it. Dirty city elf from nowhere covers city in blood of the rapist arl’s son, gets thrown to the wardens and becomes the hero.
But he was a back alley street rat like Aladdin perfect story to me. Heroes often come from the last place you expect.
@@FoxyFoxlyn To date, it is still the best presentation of a damsel in distress saving herself in a game, especially since there was no spite or aggrandizement of an entire gender inherent in the scene. The horrid fate that befell the other women, including the main character's cousin, served as a reminder of what could have happened to the protagonist had she not been given combat lessons in private by her deceased mother.
RIP dragon age: origins the last old style bioware game
Mass effect 2?
@@deathcamz389 ME 2 sucked. It was made easy and watered down so game journalists could actually play it.
@@aj.j5833 it was definitely made in the cod and gears of war generation. Also why was my original reply deleted?.
@@deathcamz389 All you had to do was upgrade weaopons, diffculty increase was just making enemies more of a bullet sponge.
@@aj.j5833 honestly the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation was overrated.
Someone defined it in the comments of the trailer as "Dragon Age: Suicide Squad".
🥈place prize
Probably closer to Dragon Age: 40% Squad
1:56 remember in inquisition, when you ending up physically going into the fade and everyone freaked out because the last time somebody did that it created the dark spawn? No? just me?
I remember it being a big deal, but didn't remember it making the dark spawn. I'll take your word for it, but damn does that make the story more interesting.
@@CZcamsChangedmyusername TL;DR A bunch of Magister Blood Mages from the Taventer broke into the Golden City. Exactly what was found there has never been stated as the only people we have words about it from is one of them and is well known to be a piece of shit and a lying bastard, but they were turned into the first Dark Spawn. Everything else from that point is history. So yeah, people freak out when you step into the Fade physically.
Even your spirit companion in that game was losing his mind and he lives there.
well it wasnt so much physically going into the fade it was attempting to breach the golden city where the maker lives and them becoming twisted monstrosities on their way back out and basically poisoning heaven in the process, hell considering the trailer shows something reaching out behind this rift jumper id be more concerned with the idea of demons gaining physical access to the real world, those buggers are bad enough when they possess people and slip through rifts having one set fully lose would be a whole story of world fuckery in itself
The entire point with the Mage Tower in DA:O too was the fact that magi are basically like psykers in 40k - if you don't train these people, they're basically gateways for demons to pass through into the material world.
Now apparently some teenager can just jump through and get caught by tentacles like some kind of comedy. "OOPS CLUMSY ME :DDDD"
You know what i find endlessly funny?
Dragon Age Origins was marketed as the dark and edgy Baldurs Gate, what not with the Manson Music and sex and all that.
Many years later Baldurs Gate 3 came out, doing far worse things when it comes to gore and sexual stuff and it didn't even try to market itself as edgy.
Indeed funny
I remember the Warden's Calling trailer with "This Is the New Shit" blasting in the background. Edgy but soooo good.
BG3 "wait you mean squid man xxx isnt normal"
@@Thesavagesouls It perfectly set the mood.
The Overton window for degeneracy has moved quite a bit since Origins released back in 2009.
Dragon Age 1-3: The Fade cannot be easily crossed into. Even Gods need powerful magic and tools to do so.
Dragon Age 4: Here's a plucky bastard who can do it on a whim!
Why you ask?
Because..... Diversity!
The Borderlands style character intros are so dumb. "How do we make people like our game?" "Let's make it just like a dead franchise." Only the biggest brain moves here.
If i didnt know anything about dragonage i would think this is just another hero shooter with a fantasy take...
@@riptors9777 If I didn't know anything about dragonage I would think this is the woke-corrupted Dishonored 3.
This trailer is what Magisters saw in Golden City and drove them into turning into first dark spawns. Who have tought Arch demon was true hero of this story trying to protect us from abomination like this.
It's what the Wardens see in the Calling that compels them to fight to the death in the deep roads
wait Arch is a demon now?? eesh...lolz
Solas is the true hero.
Didn't they retcon that in Inquisition by specifically having the bad guy (a Darkspawn fella) say his race was always underground and found their magic underground?
Darkspawn Chronicles is the true canon now
Come on Arch, that's not the title.
It's called Diversity Age: The Wokeguard!
That's the perfect title and no doubt fitting based on the trailer and the staff at Bioware.
I thought it was Dragqueen Age: Transition.
Dragon Age: Fortnite
@@yeti112imagine we can't choose our gender in game such as male or female,instead we get trans and pronouns shoved into our face. Man can't wait for politics to be shoved into my face. Well I guess it's back to playing skyrim with mods 🤦♂️
Warden: come fellows, we slay the diversity dragon!
The Fellows: [can't decide to take the phrase literal and whip em out or what]
That trailer...
It's a Saturday morning cartoon ad.
worse....even Care Bears in the 80'd had better ads than this lol
One of the biggest problems with modern writing, which is all over this trailer as well, is the writers' refusal to take their own work seriously. They have to throw in goofiness, gags, etc, and one of the laziest ones that's been overdone to death is the "casual conversation happens while violence occurs in the background" right there in the center of this thing.
And besides the obvious, bad DEI hires for the crew, I also blame the past 20 years and how many times I saw the phrase "takes itself too seriously" presented as if it were actual criticism to dark and/or drama pieces from critics who refused to believe anything could be good without comic relief. And now writers are terrified of being labeled with it, it seems, so they make everything lighthearted and goofy.
Simple fact is when the writer themselves doesn't take their work seriously, neither will the audience. Why get invested in something that isn't invested in itself, after all?
Yup everything has to have that goofy marvel humor in it. If you can't take your game setting seriously why should I.
Truth
Well, if someone tries it, others will call him a nerd and boring-ass loser, as they won't be able to comprehend what he's talking about.
Come on Arch, it's called Suicide Veilguard : Kill the Dragon Age!
🥉 place
More like Failguard. XD
So it's name was "Taash?!" I've read it, first, as "Trash!"
Haha same here
@@dougmolnar5827 Same here.
remember when character names while sounding different still fit the world??
like just by name if you know naming conventions can tell where they came from?
Taaaaaaaaaashhh
Whew! I thought it was just me . . .
You read it right the first time.
To me, it just feels like the older Dragon Age games were going for a more dark, gritty, and "trying to prevent the end of the world" vibe.
This trailer comes across as a character introduction for an action-comedy. COMPLETELY different theme.
it just feels like generic D&D setting adventure
@MrConredsX That's exactly the problem - *everything* Is D&D now.
Worse.. it looks like an advertisement for an upcomming hero shooter...
Yep looks like the new devs didn't take the lesson from DA:2. They tried to make that an action movie with all the cheesy introductions for the cast with dumbed down mechanics instead of taking a hint from recent hits like BG3. edit : altho i hate 5e its still a bit less crap than what they're planning with this one.
@@wtfisthisnonsense Yeah I love dnd but im getting sick of this shit tbh
This is the franchise that once had Morrigan, Alistair AND Leliana.
don't forget Isabela
Seriously? Your missing Oghren and our Mabari pet!???
Sten, my guy. "You are a woman(??????)"
How dare you disrespect the Sten of the Beresaad...
@@scottybreuer I know we just might as well go through the entire cast because they were all so good.
"Explosion"
DA:O - Bought it, loved it
DA2 - Bought it, hated it
DA:I - Pirated, noticed and hated
DA:V - Won't even bother pirating, IP is dead to me
It's so weird. It's almost like people WANT to buy good products and DON'T want to buy bad ones. Almost like there's some sort of correlation between them or something.
I Actually like dragon age 2 I didn't think it was nowhere near as good as origins, but I thought it was okay but it felt more like an dlc expansion of origins and not a sequel, but Inquisition was trash though the only good part of that game was maybe the dragons fight, but the series died the moment they move the story and main protagonist away from the grey wardens .
Same except I didn't even bother after DA2. I saw the turds smeared on the wall and decided not to buy DA3 after watching reviews. It's sad because DA1 is so good, it's begging for a proper series like BG. But no. We can't get that we have to get whatever this nonsense is supposed to be.
Loved Origins, Got bored with 2, Enjoyed 3 for a while but got bored, Veilguard doesn't looks like it would be an Overwatch clone, but I wanna see the gameplay footage before I truly say no.
@@rdf4315 You get a bad taste in your mouth when you realize that the Dragon Age series was designed as a beta-test/proof of concept for each Mass Effect that was coming out.
Use Dragon Age to test with a smaller budget.
Apply lessens to Mass Effect.
Repeat, twice.
It was a novel idea.
Dragon age: I was a slog to play. Was less repetitive than DA:2 but the levels were massive for no reason and the horse was next to useless with all the obstacles and it was clunky to ride.
"in the Grimdarkness of the Dragon age, we have whacky adventures"
Dragon Age Origins is my favorite game of all time 😔
One of the trailers has "Thirty Seconds to Mars song This Is War". The song came out in promotion of the game before it even came out on album. Thats how good DA origins is as a game.
All I know is that trailer has the same energy as that Godforsaken Saints Row trailer that maimed Volition...
hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin for Bioware
I'm actually grateful when companies put a transformer in charge of a project - it communicates clearly and loudly that the product isn't for me, and I need waste no more time or attention assessing if I should buy it. Thanks, Corporate!
Is this what Duncan and our Grey Warden died for?
Dunno about you but my Grey warden took the bang bus named morrigan out of town to survive
@riptors9777 Classic Dragon Age. Sacrifice the soul of your firstborn to survive.
@@riptors9777 Bang bus ? Rotfl...
Dragon Age died that moment they didn't let my character see his grown son/daughter he had with Morrigan.
I made that deal to save everyone by sacrificing my first born and where the Fuck is he? Nowhere!
The DLC where you catch up to Morrigan left me with less closure than the normal ending where she just fucking vanished somehow.
Witch-Hunt DLC? Where you can literally leave with Morrigan?
Yeah it died the moment they moved away from Gray wardens, blights and Arch demons, and started focusing on boring ass politics and chantry s***, and Elvin gods that nobody gives a s*** about, how about give us our gray Warden Commander, and let us lead a army of gray wardens on the back of griffins into the deep roads to end the blight once and for all how hard is that .
@@rdf4315 in ine of the DLCs, that is done by politics: the archtect is used for that end, since he is awakening every darkspawn and keep them aeay from the archdemons 🦉
It died when they wrote a character to specifically argue with you over the fact that Krem is a female woman.
This will be the final nail in the coffin for Bioware, and all we have to do is nothing. 😂
That nail has already been hammered. BioWare is already buried. Inquisition was trash, Andromeda was trash, and Anthem didn't even get it off the ground. BioWare is long gone
EA will continue to parade the corpse around for a few years Weekend at Bernies style....ad that's kinda what's going on now...this is the corpse being paraded around!
I think the final nail in the coffin will be Mass effect 4 if that fails that will be it for BioWare.
You say that but these films seem to struggle on somehow, with much smaller sales , I don't understand it
Dragon age 2 is aging better then expected cause of how bad everything after it has been.
Go back and realize that whas the seed bed for this modern trash
@@sparxskywriter2589 It was the beginning of the end. especially since they changed the design of the dark spawn.
Dragon age 2 was never really that bad it was more of an expansion than a sequel, i think it was made in less than a year it would have been interesting to see how it would have turned out if they had four or five years to work on it, the game play is not good, but the story is not bad though, and it would have been even better if they allowed hawk to become a gray Warden.
I agree. Dragon Age 2 really wasn't that bad. And definitely not "shit". It had its problems. But it was still a Dragon Age. The second and last.
Yeah ya'll can quit it with this BS, no one is ever going to follow your lead of thinking old garbage suddenly becomes not garbage when something else gets piled on top of it. DA2 was the Suicide Squad of its day and for all the same reasons: horrifically cringe and unlikeable characters that are front and center all the time, eye-bleeding visual design all over the place, and braindead, repetitive combat that overstays its welcome after 30mins.
We would never be here if not for millions of people with abyssal standards like yours. Stop it.
Dragon age then: "We are going to go against the grain, we wil most likely die, it wil be pointless, but we must do it, else evil wil end everything!"
Dragon age now: "Oih you wana go on adventure!!? thee hee!!! there wil be buterflies and icecream, and we wil all be sooooo special!!! who's a good xer/xi/xim!!? Yess xou are!"
As the old saying goes, you either die a hero or live long enough to become BioWare.
could be worse
they could be EA
Dragon Age: Origins was an absolute masterpiece.
Dragon Age 2 was actually still pretty great. The scope was far smaller, but the tone was still suitably grim with a tight narrative and some of the best character writing in the series. It was heavily marred by its production limitations and the direction the team was pushed in to increase accessibility, though. There's no way around that.
Inquisition was simultaneously a return to form and a departure from tone. We were back to globe-trotting, world-shaking escapades, but the edge was dulled and the actual game design was even weaker than DA2. It was not until Tresspasser- a considerably more "Dragon Age" chunk of game that I really came around on it, and, even then it remains a distant third.
Veilbreaker... King Cailin did not die for this...
I agree with you! Origins is by far the best in the series and I have many fond memories of it! DA2 was not as good as Origins but still good in it's own right! Inquisition was...meh! Just okay. Not as good as the previous two but not a complete dumpster fire!
And then along came "Veilguard"...🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
All I can say is RIP Dragon Age! It's been fun while it lasted! 🥺
I remember dragon age 2 showcase where they specifically showed off female hawke's walking animation, which involved strong hip-sway. They specifically said "Hawke's walk could melt butter"
How far we've fallen.
A keen eye would notice it checks all the DEI boxes.
From a dark and gritty fantasy setting to a sunday morning high fantasy cartoon
Is there any video game company/franchise/etc that hasn’t been tainted by the Chaos cult of woke?
If there is, they must be kept secret and safe.
For the corruptors lust for the innocent.
only the east is still safe for now
No, b/c game development requires a huge capital expense, and if the developers refuse wokeness, their access to that capital is cut off.
@@the.dandy.man2 lol nope. Localizers have been ruining those for years now and eastern devs are very susceptible for listening to western criticisms from journo's/western adjacent developers. Especially major ones like capcom and koei tecmo. (Capcom leaks looks like your typical western dev DEI statements and Koei Tecmo stopped selling the DoA spin off games even though those sold really well in the West)
The Japanese or Koreans?
"Only the stick..."

It's says a lot when the only game I saw that people were looking forward to was a remaster of a 2 decade old game, while modern slop is getting downvoted to oblivion
Seeing asian and african elves just shows how little they care about biology and making a believable world. I have never, ever seen any such elves in the past on Thedas and no, they can't be mixed because they would be human instead.
The elves were just that, elves. Caucasian with pointed ears. Now they added two races to them as well for the sake of pleasing disgusting Blackrock.
They ruined the Darkspawn as well, something i never went over. I am done. If they love Blackrock so much and DEI they should rely on their employess to buy their games because as hell no Dragon Age fan would after the shitshow they just pulled.
That made me throw up as well.
Not Dark Elves, not Drown elves, but Ethiopian Elves and the Quanari!!!! Their not black or brown either. They range from Grey to a greyish blue hue in skin tone.
Ah, Broodmothers! Modern games really do need more Broodmothers in them.
They are afraid of puting Desire demons showing a little skin let along use Broodmothers. Modern games are made by children for children.
I have always wanted more darker themes in games. I love broodmothers. It was dark and sexual, it made me really worried for my female PC if she got caught becuase i knew what would happen to her.
But the modern games would melt down for having something sexual and dark in it... even though it's rated M for mature. "YOU GOT TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN" that is playing this rated M game.
They just need to do away with rated M at this point and only go up to T because there isn't really any mature content anymore in games.
@@Shadowhunterbg I agree.We would not see desire demons or brood mothers in this game.
And that creepy nursery rhyme from Hespith accompanying you when you approach the lair... damn. Good times.
I can clearly remember the first Dragon Age. It was big. It was anticipated. It was able to build its own unique feeling. The presented world was interesting. I remember going through a number of prologues, trying different combinations of races, classes, genders and selectable backgrounds, only to then ponder which will be the most optimal stat-wise. Then... Each location was special, each companion was unique and memorable...
And then the setting was being slowly obliterated by the following installments... The rAiNbOw replaced seriousness with checkmarks, uniqueness with homogenization...
R.I.P (*)
From "Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant" to this abomination
I feel defiled.
SILVER LINING: Bioware won't get the opportunity to screw up ME4 if they get closed.
Edit: Just saw the gameplay trailer and its not nearly as cringey as the reveal trailer portrays the game. We may not be in for The Suicide Squad of Dragon age.
Several years ago they stated that they're going to celebrate diversity.
I respect their bold commitment to failure and will applaud them in their pursuit of it.
Never forget Loghain Mac Tir, protector of Ferelden
Always recruit Loghain
And killer of Grey Wardens. Your loyalties will be remembered when our order recruits enough assassins...
@@jabiraidanto be fair. They were French.
Loghain is right it try to protect us from evil people who wants turn us in thier play things@@jabiraidan
Loghain is the most backstabbing mf to have ever existed.
It took two seconds to smell DEI/ ESG all over it
*_From gritty Grimdark in DA Origins to Gearbox-style, Post-Modern Derpery._*
*_I left this violated franchise for the Darkspawn ever since Inquisition, especially after what they did to the Qunari._*
as someone who has 800hours in Origins 90 in DA2 ( we dont talk about that one) and 1265 hours in the 3rd one i can say i loved that series but having read the recent book with the addition of prounoun wardens in the 3rd or 4th Blight (book Last flight) i must say it feels like seeing your old house that you grew up in being turned into a drug denn.
My poor griffins subjected to woke slop.
DA:O still has the best plot of most fantasy games. Sweet and simple, you save the world from evil, but the background, the lore, the politics and the world-building was all splendid
They keep trying to make people like Woke. People keep saying: We don't want it.
Dragon Age: the DEIguard, death of a studio
Arch: "I think I played through it 4 times?"
Me: "...I played as a Warrior more than 4 times."
This will be Bioware's "Suicide Squad" game. Rocksteady is on the way out the door with a merciful bullet to the head, and if the budget for Veilguard is sufficiently large... WHEN it flops (not if) they will finally get put down too.
It's wild to me that they can't see it.
RIP Bioware, one of the greatest dev teams in the industry....over a decade ago. The last good game they did was ME3 and even that had the ending debacle.
Man I'm still angry over that
They at least *did* change it.
One of the first instances of a company responding to their customers in order to make them happy.
@@TheMaleRei Honestly at the very least they should have had an ending slide for Shepherd with his/her love interest having the happy ending they deserved, also me personally I wish they would have cut out the Synthesis ending altogether.
Last good game was ME 1.
@@aj.j5833 Agree to disagree, ME2 is a much more fun experience than 1.
I genuinely read Taash’s name as “Trash” thinking the Qnari had thrown them away or something. I also thought the name was appropriate for the whole game.
To be honest, I liked DA2; it wasn't perfect, certainly had its flaws (particularly the combat and repetitive maps), but I appreciated the core story and how it unfolded over time. Sadly it never really got a sequel; Inquisition simply wasn't a Dragon Age game, I don't think, and by then the Golden Age of Bioware had long since ended. And on top of that Inquisition was the first major instance of Bioware bending its lore over backwards and breaking its back to accommodate what is now in vogue these days.
DA2 was my favourite of the whole three. I kind of cut it some slack with it's various misfires, it at least felt like they were trying something new in a way I don't think they had since Jade Empire. I think it's actually aged better than DA:O, largely because it has far less blatant filler.
yep DA:O was basically a selfcontained game with little room for a sequel so DA2 felt like a setup for a bigger series of games (at least 1 or 2 more) by fleshing out the lore a bit (especieally of the chantry and the mages) and introducing and setting off the big conflict between those 2 but it never got any real follow up which is a real shame because i would have loved a game all about that war (and being able to actually make choices to influence it DA:O style) but instead we got inquisition
Westwood was shut down but these clowns are still making trash, consequence free.
"Consequence free"
And that's the fucking problem.
Well, if this trailer did one thing, its that it sold a bunch of Dragon Age: Origins copies on steam.
GoG is better.
This looks like Borderlands trailer.
Veilguard sounds so dumb compared to Dreadwolf. I imagine two blokes with toy swords standing in front of a silk curtain.
They call it veilguard.. and one of your companions is someone that jumps through the veil for a hobby...
"it can't be that bad." It's that bad.
It can't be that bad, because it can always be worse!
It was a Dark Fantasy, now they have made a Disney Princess movie.. DEI, ESG and companies like SBI have killed all art and entertainment in the west.
It was bland slop that you've become so accustomed to, because it's gone downhill even more since then.
I wouldn't go that far indies and double AA can still bring out bangers
Arch... You are correct. The game director proclaims himself to be a "queerosexual gendermancer", that the game is going to be "inherently queer".
I have been a massive Dragon Age fan for years. It was one of my first big fantasy RPGs and I fell in love with the world and this series is so important to me. I know the series itself has had its ups and downs but I still stuck with it. I am explaining this to show how important it is that I will not be picking up this game. Hell, I haven't even watched the trailer to this. I have banished this game so far in the back of my mind I do not want to even acknowledge its existence. I have been dreading this game since it's announcement and figure this is going to murder the franchise the way Mass Effect: Andromeda did. I didn't buy Andromeda, I didn't buy Anthem, and I certainly won't be buying this turd. Bioware is a shell of its former self and I want that studio to close down for good. At this point it would be an act of mercy.
Only the first game in series was any good just like only first Mass Effect was good and fun. Seems once they get people hooked they try to go for "wider" audicance, water down game play to make it more "accesible" ...
Look at my avatar. Look at it. I love Dragon Age. Whatever this is, it's dead to me.

Drag On Age: Desecration of the Origin
Dragqueen Age... the Manjaw
Time to take Bioware behind the shed and finally put it out of its misery.
I am so old I can remember when Bioware made good games.
'Magekiller'. Templar. You mean, TEMPLAR BioWare. They're the Grey Knights from 40k. Same concept, because it's really cool.
Honestly I think it may be a good idea to consider the playthrough where the Grey Warden sacrifices himself being canon along with Hawke doing the same in Inquisition, neither of those two deserve to suffer in a world such as this and frankly it’s convinced me that Solas did nothing wrong.
The magisters entered the Golden City in an attempt to stop this from happening.
Its Saints Row Remake all over again
2:58 That looks less like freckles & more like a skin disease.
She looks like Fiona from Shrek
Black elves will never not look silly.
I've seen some atrocious, pandering, aesthetically vulgar and offputting trailers in my day, particularly in recent years, but this is beyond a doubt the worst trailer in living memory, extra disgusting if you remember the hype when Dragon Age: Origins was first announced. This looks like a Chinese mobile game ripoff, not a Dragon Age sequel.
The dwarf lady looks like she's got some weird skin disease.
But Arch hit the nail on the head with Dragon Age: Origins, you are the hero true and you do save the world. For the moment. but there are still hordes of Darkspawn waiting in the dwarven mines. And while I liked 2 (especially after installing mods to make the female characters more attractive) it was not a "true" Dragon Age game imo. As for Inquisition I got as far as the character creator before quitting (I thankfully had gotten it for free) because I couldn't make a good looking female character.
I'm done with Dragon Age, I'll go back and replay Origins every so often but I'm content to forget about the series for the most part now.
BioWare was the first developer that really broke my spirit. I thought they could do no wrong after KoToR and MassEffect two of my all timers…. And then andromeda and anthem…. Now I expect everything to be shit until proven otherwise.
Man Jaw industrial complex has ramped production.
In Western games is a must
Dragon Age: Dreadwoke - Bioware Magic
That trailer made DA2 look like a 10/10 game
I wouldn't mind Origin redone in the new graphics, though I dread what they might do to Leliana and Morrigan...
"Dragon Age: The Gendermancer"
Dragon Age : The Diversity Guard.....
Trailer makes more sense for Modern D&D than it does Dragon Age.
Now I'm imagining an edit where WOTC and D&D branding gets added to the video and the game is called Dungeons & Dragons: The Veilguard or something like that.
And I STILL don't know what happened to my bloody sword after the first game expansion.
I was so surprised to see the big badass fighter who kills dragons was an ugly sheman it was so unique and inspiring
Everything is a marvel movie now for some reason, maybe the younger generations who's working on this doesn't watch anything other than marvel movies.
They have no experience with anything outside of screens
A lot of the games coming out recently were developed during coof lockdowns with esg money.
This is the dark age of gaming.

I feel like I’m part of some apocalypse movie, going around smothering my favorite franchises with a pillow in their sleep so they don’t have to live through the terrible world, that they will forever be happy in a memory of happier times
What do you expected? Inquisition was the "One more ride with the gang." finale. And that one was already meh
(and that is from someone who loved DA2)
DA: Origins had a long and troubled develpment. And was kinda looking outdated when it came out. Ironically the graphics and artstyle have aged better than other contemporary games. But back in 2009 DA: Origins looked kinda outdated. But it didn't matter because its characters, story and atmosphere was timeless. Not to mention the game and it's gameplay being the spiritual successor to games like Baldurs gate and CRPG's for the 7th gen era. Which in itself was novel and a breath of fresh air for the time.
This is the complete opposite. It's neither timeless or a breath of fresh air. DA is dead and the signs were already there with Dragon Age 2.
It's like watching a loved one on life support.
More like exhumed to say hello one more time
Dragon Age then: Let's have good darkspawn, but they still spread plague even though they are trying to be good.
Dragon Age now: Let's giggle, goof off, and kid around with our cast of woke characters. And let's black swap the elves.
Black elves, how you know it's going to be woke.
If that's a Kunari I'm a fucking Keebler Elf. 🤬
Devs: Reeeee don't compare our game to BG3. Players: I will compare the shit out of it with BG3.
Marketing team: You know what dragon age players want?
CEO: A return to the original formula?
Marketing team: No borderlands!
CEO:….That… is… Genius!!! Get the this they/them a promotion!!!
Joker: You don’t get what you f’n deserve. *quietly weeps into hands*
"I... I do not remember your love, Ellesime. I have tried to. I tried recreating it, to spark it anew but it is gone. A hollow, dead thing. For years I clung to the memory of it, then the memory of the memory and then nothing. The Seldarine took that away from me too! I look upon you and feel nothing. I remember nothing but you turning your back for me alongside the others. Once my thirst for power was everything, now I hunger only for revenge... AND I. WILL. HAVE IT!" ~Jon Irenicus - Baldur's Gate 2
