Yes, all of this was confirmed lmao, it’s insane.

Every tidbit of info that comes out about this game makes it sound worse and worse.

But 90,000 lines of dialogue are just people confirming what everyone's pronouns are.

Imagine this.

* 1 line of dialog to buy a single health potion in a random shop.

This is going to be good...

I'm curious if or when the EA c-suite will wake up to realize whom and what has crept into their creative workforce.

I dont understand why they think this is something to boast about.

Quality > Quantity.

(But we can guess the quality)

Honestly sounds like they're pulling some arbitrary metric to impress and sway potential buyers. "Look how many lines we have! Amazing, right!?".

Just like when Gearbox were going off about 17.15 million "unique" weapons/guns in Borderlands 2. In reality, they inflated those numbers by including dupes with randomized stats.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

If it's anything like previous games in the series, and being more aggressive in the romance options, that means if you don't want anyone in particular to come on to you, be extremely rude and mean to them or face sexual harassment. lol

BioWare reveals why Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been in the works for a long, long time - and it sounds like the upcoming RPG is downright massive, from dialogue to voice acting.

Meanwhile…

I havnt watched any trailers but erm wtf is that? the art style is absolutely awful, maybe a game for kids who love cartoons?

 

[Dazraell]

Is this real?

Unfortunately yes. They also removed the word "race" from character creator and replaced it to "lineage" lol

 

[Humdinger]

This is a mark against the game, imo. I am so tired of overly verbose games. Haven't any of these writers read EB White's classic, Elements of Style? "Eliminate unnecessary words!" Stuffing more words into a game isn't a good thing - it's a lazy thing. It's like that old saying, "I would have written you a shorter letter, but I didn't have the time." Anyone can vomit words on to a page. Being concise takes work.

 

[MayauMiao]

[N30RYU]

I don't care about the lines of dialog... but it they chosed the protagonists from 700 characters... how bad are gonna be the rest?

 

[Metnut]

At a minimum a lot of effort has been put into this. Certainly not going to buy day 1 given previous BioWare bombs and the weird trailer, but I’d like to see how the full game turns out after reviews are out.

Ok Bioware, people like romance in games given sexy characters but marketing it like this just sounds creepy.

All romancable options are canon pansexuals

Yeah, I am not learning that shit.

I have not suffered through English classes during my school days just so that mentally ill people can decide that raping their own bodies is not enough, no, now they want to rape the English language as well.

Some of the terms have options with a /. Does that mean even they cant figure out whats what?

If some people can invent their own egotistical terms I can too.

From now on, everyone call me:

1. King
2. Master
3. Emporor
4. Boss
5. Head Honcho

and best of em all...

6. Supreme Overlord

Still pales in comparison to Dragon Quest 7.

 

[Frwrd]

Am I reading this right? Has this been posted already? Couldn't find anything on here... The launch of this game is going to be glorious, and by that I mean a whole fucking disaster... What a disgrace, too bad Bioware died ages ago.

I feel this game will be the last entry in the DA series for a bit. Ubisoft style open world, woke story-telling, EA monetization, and it's last entry really hasn't aged well. Given where it started (DA:O) and how successful BG3 was, it's a damn shame this game can't go back to its roots.

 

[digital_ghost]

10,000 different grunting sex sounds for male, female, and non binary!

jokes aside, this will probably bomb harder than anthem

It will not be an open world though

So far they said no microtransactions and game is supposed to be much more linear and won't feature open zones like Inquisition. Based on gameplay preview they shown it gave me more Final Fantasy XVI vibes. But yeah, everything else you said tracks

 

[BehemothBlade]

The Doomslayer has more personality than xem while have two lines of dialogue.
