Lol da origins is the only good dragon age by true bioware. This shit right here, is the final nail in the coffin for dragon age series. Good job EA. The kiddy look, awful gameplay, woke shit...its gonna be the end of many series

 

[Gamezone]

Have to wait for user reviews for this one. Can't trust professional reviews on this woke stuff.

 

[Nickolaidas]

SH2 apparently didn't suck, despite all the haters. So hopefully this is able to replicate that.

If anything, SH2 proved that people are open-minded enough to admit they were wrong about a game.

If this game is genuinely good, people will admit they were wrong again.

 

[Roman Empire]

Looks like it's real. There is a larger cutscene making rounds on twitter that ends with this prompt. I also saw this lol

You can't tell me who I am.

 

[pudel]

if i play this game and its a big IF, i ll try to be the most far-right person i can ever be.

Good luck dude. I doubt you can playrole anything in this game.

 

[Kacho]

You won't have options to go against the things they want to push.

 

[Ronin_7]

in the character creation you have to option to have top surgery scars on your character body

let me ask you this, do you think it's OK to normalize surgery to remove little girls breasts to 'affirm' that she's a 'boy'?

Let me say i had no idea the game had that.

I thought people were saying it's woke because the Gay Dragon.

 

[Lokaum D+]

"You've chosen to discourage Taash by wearing your red maga hat."

if this game has NPC perma death like BG3, Taash ( and others ) ll not live long enough to see me using my maga hat.

 

[Luipadre]

Taash aint touching my squad thats for sure

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Going with 65 and probably around a 20% user score.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Taash aint touching my squad thats for sure

You will need her ability to traverse the map.

 

[Kacho]

GOTY incoming?

 

[Luipadre]

You will need her ability to traverse the map.

You can use companion abilities even without them being in the party.

 

[Gonzito]

Is there a lore reason why I dont feel confortable in my skin? Can you tell me who I am?

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

 

[captainnapalm]

Looks like it's real. There is a larger cutscene making rounds on twitter that ends with this prompt. I also saw this lol

I think there may be some liberal ladies or LBGTQ people on this writing staff guys. Just taking a wild guess here.

 

[Luipadre]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

Yeah that dialogue is bad but that guy is even worse

 

[Punished Miku]

I was fully expecting woke, but this is approaching lifelong insomnia.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

Besides the whole wokeness, this game has a very weird look it.

Might only be me, but it has that plastic look, like something you see on trailers of some mobile game.

 

[begotten]

GOTY incoming?

Of course he did. He doesn't put a number on games.

 

[Mister Wolf]

You can use companion abilities even without them being in the party.

I heard that too. We will see how soon that option becomes available upon initially interacting with the characters.

 

[Gonzito]

Is there an option in the game to kill your own companions? Asking for a friend

 

[SJRB]

Is there an option in the game to kill your own companions? Asking for a friend

If you misgender them 3 times in a row they'll kill themselves.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I'd say this is trash but trash has some value in being recycled.

 

[captainnapalm]

Yeah that dialogue is bad but that guy is even worse

You're the second person in this thread to misgender her dude. Are you trying to discourage Taash?

 

[AGRacing]

“Top scars shamefully hidden under clothes.
3/10 Kotaku”

 

[Fabieter]

Big off hopefully taash is ignoreable. Is definitely biowares last chance tho.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I think it is high 80s because modern reviewers will factor in the DEI efforts in the studio.

If they don't give it a 90+ it's because they're bigoted and want to genocide the gays.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Five bucks says they won't let you be an asshole to that companion.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

Amazing how some AA japanese devs can make a beautiful and well written game about diversity and tolerance and at the same time you have one of the biggest western AAA publishers delivering a piece of shit as big as this one.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

"My skin is tired."

I bet blackrock has a bigger say in the western woke push than in Japan tho.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

This game will be very entertaining, just for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Luipadre]

You're the second person in this thread to misgender her dude. Are you trying to discourage Taash?

I was talking about grummz

 

[GymWolf]

I posted this video in the Dragon Age discord and everyone attacked me as if I was a serial killer hahaha

Comparing this combat to gow combat is a sacrilege...

 

[Kotaro]

Do you think it’s ok to pretend there’s said surgery in the game?
It’s an option you can pick in the character creator. It isn’t forced on you.

Just don’t pick it and you won’t die, I promise.

The intent is clear to normalize top surgery scars amongst young people, AND THAT'S NOT OK!!

 

[Dazraell]

I think there may be some liberal ladies or LBGTQ people on this writing staff guys. Just taking a wild guess here.

I mean, when you will take a look at who is Veilguard's game director, who is a lead writer and also wrote that character, it's quite easy to assume why they threw this shit in to this game

 

[Jack Videogames]

I feel this game is going to be somewhat well reviewed. If only because it feels like it's an actual passably decent game (as opposed to Dustborn) and it's dripping wokism.

As somebody else said it would be fun to play this game as a full-on "God hates X" conservative. Unfortunately that has a prerequisite (buying the game) that I'm not willing to do.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Just don’t pick it and you won’t die, I promise.

It’s an option that specifically talks about gender reassignment surgery scars. In a fantasy game. With dragons.

 

[thegame983]

It has top surgery scars.

Of course it's going to review well.

 

[captainnapalm]

What have we seen so far - transgender stuff, multiculturalism, taking offense to micro-aggressions - it's like Tolkien is right here with us lol.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

The problem is that we never know who are "shills" and who aren't....many many channels want to stay "onside" or in the "good books" with developers and will never give honest criticism as they worry it will hurt the relationship with devs in future, so they potentially lose the chance to get shipped out to early access events or review copies of games early etc...its hard for a consumer to fully trust ANY channel or review website because of this.

When I finally squeeze in a rare moment to game after work, the absolute last thing I’m looking for is another round of the DEI discussions I’ve been nodding along to at the office all day.

Just what every gamer dreams of—diversity dialogues invading their fantasy worlds.

I was ready to give it a shot, but...yeah, hard pass. Thanks, but no thanks.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

Well that just got it another half point on metacritic, now I'm saying low 90s not high 80s. ha!

I used to join those teams meetings and just do something else while listening . . . now I quit doing that. Last one we had, there was a speaker they paid for that said mixed race couples might not make it out of restaurant public bathrooms in the south . . .

 

[StueyDuck]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

Paper thin political dissection topics... in a game with top scars...

Who would have guessed it .

But as always, we'll be the bad ones for pointing out how terrible it is.

Don't think, just consume.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

So are we expecting most of the mainstream review sites to rate this high just because they're all aligned with this western dev woke trash and want to see it succeed against the backlash?

 

[Madflavor]

Bahahahahahahaha fucking trash devs

I would say this completely 100% expected.

 

[Roman Empire]

Easily high 80s to low 90s with all aligns when reality this game smells of high 60s to 70s.
