The Rivalry system is fantastic because you get to tell the shittiest party members exactly how shit they are until they realize that you make some strong arguments.
The idea of shifting focus from world-saving Gray Warden shit to some guy who just has to live with the choices that the actual movers and shakers make isn't a bad concept. In a lot of ways its the same idea KOTOR 2 tried to play with.
This experiment utterly failed and DAII is a bad game, but the idea itself wasn't bad.
The failure was titling it "Dragon Age ll" that implies it will carry the story beats and themes of origins, more so when they had DA:O import shit for it.

Here's your Shepard equivalent
The leaks and concept art show DA4 has you playing as a Grey Warden again, but that's the least of the game's worries. It's been stuck in dev hell for 8 years, has had its director changed four (4) times and the current one is a terminally online Twittard. As if the previous two games weren't enough, DA4 was over before it even began
da:o fricked because it was a darker setting, the soundtrack helped with that too. it was gorier and more grounded in my opinion. going from that to fricking inquisition was a flashbang. certainly hope da4 pulls through if its actually about grey wardens
more grounded in the sense of the graphical style, colour palette, music and overall art direction taken with the game. da:i in comparison is a very flashy, bright game, whereas da:o has a very muted colour palette

Don't forget that Andraste was an Old God Baby and is going to revive Dumat again like in pic related
the whole mother serial killer plot was the dumbest part of 2
like even with the final act which is where the story starts falling apart in general you can at least see where time crunch and short dev time fricked them, but there's no excuse for how they handled the serial killer
I would note you do stop the qunari and meredith, and to be fair IIRC the original plan was for hawke to be the inquisitor but the dlc for 2 with the mary sue elf was so poorly received, and rightly so, that they nixxed that idea entirely
>>is left behind in the Fade for a dude with a cool moustache
But that was Loghaine and yes I did sacrifice my young, fertile FemHawke to make sure he could suffer a few more years
>male human noble warrior >harden Alistair and Lelianna >marry Arnora, execute Alistair >recruit Loghaine >Lelianna is my mistress in the epilogue >stab Morrigan before she vanishes into the mirror >KILL DARKSPAWN
One of the only scenes in the entire game with any emotional weight or competent acting and all it took was killing off the protagonist of the 2nd game.
Though in my case I saved Loghain over Hawke, which in and of itself was so absurd it still brought down that scene for me.
>is left behind in the Fade for a dude with a cool moustache
Him having to "Leap into the Abyss" as Flemeth said he had to and fighting the nightmare is so much better than taking the easy route of saving the previous MC and sacrificing the random npc no one cares about. Also >you now remember when a pre-release trailer showed Hawke and Alistair for the first time and people recognized the former but not the latter because he looks nothing like he did in DAO
Imagine being a DAI dev hyped for fans to see the trailer but none of them realize it's Alistair showing how hard you fricked up
You know the first time I tried to romance Eveline because redhead+dumb warrior and also because she was "tehehe Hawke I only care about work but I always have time to check on you, I really care about you" and because you had a few flirts option but then I discover not only that she isn't romance but if I help her with her companion quest she will ignore all my flirts and frick a random guard in her office while I'm outside
Yeah I tend to play Origins as a Male Dwarve Noble, hawk isnt able to be remade so I just had played fem hawke then and depending on my mood of wanting to go through the slop of inquisition its either Human or Dalish Elf.
make him hate on blood magic no matter player choice and savefile import even if he romanced Merrill and is a fricking blood mage himself
Honestly, considering the trailer portrays him as only using Blood Magic as a last resort this makes sense
The trailer where he kills the Arishook was one of the best promotional video I've ever seen. It convinced me to pre-order the game despite not liking DAO due to how sluggish it felt. But it was such a lie >the staff he uses is a free DLC and not even in the game >the armor set is only available after the events of the trailer >he fights the Arishook in a room and not in front of a crow on a throne >the spell he uses to kill the Arishook isn't even in the game
What a load of crock. Never felt more lied to.
>>the spell he uses to kill the Arishook isn't even in the game
it is in the game, just not as a spell, more like an execution move or something? you can do it on those big monsters from the fade
still shit anyway
I think the lack of player agency in the story is what pissed me off the most about DA2. Like you don't always need to make your RPG protagonist the chosen one where every character sucks his/her wiener but at the same time you don't want to make them someone that is constantly strung along where every choice they make is completely invalidated by forces beyond their control. It's like BioWare tried to course correct too hard.
The quest where Meredith forces you to hunt down blood mages was where I stopped caring. There's some elven woman who's like "yeah my husband is scary AF and talked about wanting my blood". Hawke tells her that he'll protect her and to wait for him to come to her at nightfall.
What does Hawke actually do? Waits around a corner until he stabs her and she's on the floor dead lol.
I'd have been fine with DA2 using the Warden Commander from Awakening and leaving the player's fate either unheard of or ambiguous or just saying "a sacrifice was made to protect Denerim and defeat Urthemiel". Problem is EA didn't want to wait 4-5 years for another entry and they killed ME and DA in the same decade within a comparable timespan.
>this guy basically solo's the Grey Warden party + their combined armies >He's just another unnamed enemy to the Hero of Fereldan that gets beheaded/blown up in the regular timeline
I love when games do this
Did pretty fricking good honestly, it's kinda funny how he didn't actually need us at all
We aren't Hawke or the Inquisitor, eve the Human Noble is just a random guy who steps up because Alistair doesn't want to.
>Did pretty fricking good honestly, it's kinda funny how he didn't actually need us at all
He did though, considering he and the party get bodied by a mini-boss
Well, yeah, he choked in the home stretch, but for a guy who was pretty keen on dodging responsibility, clearing nine-tenths of the game with no reload is a solid effort.
>eve the Human Noble is just a random guy who steps up because Alistair doesn't want to.
If you play/interpret it a certain way, the Cousland protagonist isn't even stepping up because Alistair doesn't want to, but because the Noble himself wants revenge on Howe and everything else is just getting within sword range of the fricker.

I'm okay with a straight revenge story because it's done in a satisfying and lengthy manner. DA:O plays every old fantasy RPG pretty much completely straight anyway, down to the most ridiculously on the nose standoffish ancient elves and drunken bearded dwarves seen in years, but I like it since it does so unapologetically and without ever going, "Hey, it's just like Other Fantasy thing! Isn't that so wacky?" Man, I forgot how much I like Origins. I fricking hate what Bioware became so much, bros.
This, Human Noble is the best origin because it ties you personally to the main quest moreso than the Circle of Magi or Bhelen do in other origins. The big baddie's second in command personally slaughtered your entire family, it doesn't get more metal than that.

mage always felt kind of half-assed, the dwarves had a bunch of relevance but only at orzamaar, but yeah human noble is definitely linked the most, going from "get revenge" to "get revenge and also save the world and the 30 other things that have piled up holy frick I just want to kill this guy but there are so many other people who are also in need of stabbing"
in retrospect the origins don't really have THAT much difference for most of the game and even the flavor dialogue tends to die down in the latter half, but it's still way above and beyond what most any modern dev would do and especially once you count the hours of per-origin intro stuff that literally 80% of players probably never even see

Hell yes it does. The game's antagonist is 100% Loghain, he's the man that screws everyone up at Ostagar, gets Cailan killed, sends assassins against you the entire game and whose frick-ups you clean up throughout the entire game and every big story arc up until the Landsmeet. In comparison the Archdemon really is just "a big dragon". And Howe is Loghain's second in command and seen with him in cutscenes throughout the game like the one where they hire Zevran. Having him kill your family ties you directly to wanting Loghain's downfall much more than if you were a disconnected Grey Warden on his first day at the job. Don't be disingenuous.

Gonna replay Origins after i finally decide on how i want my Human Noble to look like(i am massively autistic)
Is the level limit high enough to support going from sword and shield into dual wield for story reasons, or do i just stick with one?
Mass Effect isn't doing much better, BioWare is a sinking ship at this point and it's a wonder how long EA will even bother using the branding after the decade of stinkers they've been dropping.
its for the best. No one can honestly be excited for Dreadwolf
gays are just anticipating a flop and the death of a studio that honestly ruined western RPGs for alot of gays.
The Inquisitor getting two completely different "cover armors" really rustled my jimmies. Then again the armor mechanics in DAI in their entirety are horrible, nevermind then the armor designs
Pic related, one on the left is from wallpapers and the game's cover. One on the right is from the E3 demo and trailers. Same thing happens with his greatsword, sometimes it looks like the Refined Greatsword sometimes like the Greatsword of the Dragon. Make up your fricking minds BioWare, it was easy as frick to equip Hawke with the Champion Robes and calling it a day.
Eh, don't see much issue in that
At least it's not Tiers, were your family blade quickly becomes worthless after getting it.

You're joking, right? That's three armor sets total for the entire game. Even Origins had at least three unique models for every class of armor and the only restriction between armor classes was your strength so there was even more variety.
I've always liked this battle-mage Hawke. You magical powers in the lore comes form your connection to the fade, or whatever, right? So it doesn't mean you'll be more powerful if you read books, so there's no reason for most mages to be scrawny. A brawny fighter who just happens to have raw talent is a nice change of pace.

That’s not what happened, she was reflecting on how she was worried about losing you and remember that a dude she was with over twenty years ago just died. Don’t start trying to turn it into cuck shit.
I remember the few minutes I touch the game before unistalling it I was doing some dumb mission were I had to secure resources and it was horrible because it felt like a mmorpg quest from SWTOR or WOW
>Actually believing that Bioware writing is playing 4D chess with a side troony, when in fact it was completely 100% spoken in earnest, because that was the intent of the writers
Was it though? Sten makes fun of Leliana in DAO for fighting like the men do. There's definitely an argument to be made that Iron Bull is just lying to Kremla (which the game makes abundantly clear multiple times that he is a liar)
I still can't believe that DAI was going to let the Inquisitor frick a demon posing as Leliana and it got pulled because female writers thought it was "rapey"
Fact is, that other anon has a point. Iron Bull is definitely not meant to be trustworthy. It's just funny to see him saying that shit when we've had multiple characters debunk what he says

Far from it, the game is absolutely as liberal as you'd expect from late-aughts media. But it also made it clear that under the Qun, women don't fight, and part of Sten's unfamiliarity with non-qunari arises from the fact that he's hanging out with women who do.

Point to the important troony NPC you're told about in DAO then, or the companion whose backstory is "daddy doesn't love me because I suck wiener :("
This anime and the fan response to it proved that Bioware will never do anything interesting with slavery as a topic
The villain was done so dirty for the grave crime of being born to someone who has slaves. Even though he helped MC escape after she killed his mother and tries to bring MC's brother back to life
Meanwhile the b***h MC was dating that literally betrays her and tries to sell her into slavery is somehow meant to be sympathetic
It's not my fault that BioWare decided to make the mouthpiece for their newer, friendlier qunari lore a fundamentally dishonest person with strong political and strategic motivations for turning disaffected locals into foreign assets.
I thought a spy is supposed to blend in and pose as someone he's not instead of getting angry and seethe at me if I disagree with him? Because that's what happens in regards to the qunari troony.
Iron Bull's role was to draw focus to him so that everything else gets ignored. He tells you that he and the Qunari are being up front and trusting and are willing to share information, but none of that ends up being true.

But you could spam abilities in Andromeda. In fact, Andromeda had the most ability spam with certain builds out of all the Mass Effects.
No. That doesn't make any sense. The ability swap had a cooldown because you were changing your whole build/class. That's not the same as using an ability.
You are also conflating two sentences together.

i was really hoping BG3 would usher in a return to isometric gameplay with dragon age reprising it's place in the genre but i guess not, what a shame
As someone who has trudged through the most recent media pertaining to DA leading up to Dreadwolf it’s clear that there are SOME writers there who are still somewhat competent, however a lot of the stories they tell get bogged down by their LGBT pandering/progressive shit.
Tevinter Nights in particular is a mixed bag of genuinely cool, grimdark stories that feel straight out of Origins like Horrors of Hormak where some homosexual Warden’s boyfriend is killed and his upper body is sliced off and put on top of a giant tainted centipede, forcing the warden to kill him. But then you get other shitty stories where you have a literal non-binary troony skipping through Tevinter in order to find a tentacle monster while being aided by Dorian and his troony friend.
I can’t wait to see the chaos that will ensue when Dreadwolf comes out.
Patrick Weekes, supposedly the most competent writer AND the most senior pre-Microsoft survivor, is a they/them non-binary with blue hair, which they only discovered about two years ago after living as a middle aged married white man for 40 years
Lol I remember how every time there was a patch for MEA that there would be a line like >Conversation with Hainly Abrams has been changed

Holy shit I’ve never met someone else that’s actually read the side shit before? I stopped at magekiller just as the Breach opened. I planned on getting through Inquisition again before continuing but couldn’t.

>it was gorier and more grounded in my opinion.
Which part? The Immortal Dragon god or the werewolf forest?
more grounded in the sense of the graphical style, colour palette, music and overall art direction taken with the game. da:i in comparison is a very flashy, bright game, whereas da:o has a very muted colour palette
The only aspect of the visuals I don’t care for is the armour, a lot of them look terrible

Here's your Shepard equivalent
The leaks and concept art show DA4 has you playing as a Grey Warden again, but that's the least of the game's worries. It's been stuck in dev hell for 8 years, has had its director changed four (4) times and the current one is a terminally online Twittard. As if the previous two games weren't enough, DA4 was over before it even began
Also if you romance Isabella he's canonically a cuck, she was lying when she said she would stop being a bawd
>Grey Warden
No, it doesn't.
Anon...
>Inquisition sees the Grey Wardens retreating to Weisshaupt Fortress in order to regroup and plan their next move
>pic related shows DA4 concept art with a Grey Warden front and center
>leaked gameplay shows the MC wearing Grey Warden armor and walking around Weisshaupt Fortress as a dungeon
The Inquisitor also wears Grey Warden armor. Also, that art style isn't in line with all the other concept art.
The inquisitor's armor is actually called inquisitor armor tho
>that art style isn't in line with all the other concept art
What are you even talking about. Also it's one thing to be able to equip Warden armor in-game, it's another to be represented in pre-release concept art and leaked internal gameplay with it
>What are you even talking about.
You can't tell how the image is drawn differently from all the other concept art? The one with the Warden looks more like a style they would use for a comic book.
You still haven't explained how that somehow doesn't make it an official BioWare pic representing Dreadwolf, and how it affects elements like pic related
>You still haven't explained how something that looks different than all the artwork done by the art team for the dread wolf storyboard phase makes it unrelated
I mean, just think a little. Also, the Hero of Ferelden would either be referred to as that or Warden Commander. Grey Warden is someone like Blackwall.
>no explanation
>the Hero of Ferelden would either be referred to as that or Warden Commander
Anon what the hell makes you think we were talking about the Hero of Ferelden at any point?
I hate the DA2 design for darkspawn hurlocks so fricking much
The rumour is Dreadwolfs human protagonists are going to be an Avvar Slave and a Tevinter Noble Magister, and that the Augur of Mystery Magister Sidereal was actually an Avvar too
Don't forget that Andraste was an Old God Baby and is going to revive Dumat again like in pic related
the whole mother serial killer plot was the dumbest part of 2
like even with the final act which is where the story starts falling apart in general you can at least see where time crunch and short dev time fricked them, but there's no excuse for how they handled the serial killer
I would note you do stop the qunari and meredith, and to be fair IIRC the original plan was for hawke to be the inquisitor but the dlc for 2 with the mary sue elf was so poorly received, and rightly so, that they nixxed that idea entirely
>you do stop the qunari
Too late, when the damage is already done
>and meredith
>he doesn't know
>somehow Meredith returned
god that's moronic
>god that's moronic
Sir, this is a Dragon Age thread
Of course it's moronic.
I know, I dropped this franchise after Inquisition like the turd it was. I'm just surprised just how much more moronic it became since then.
>>is left behind in the Fade for a dude with a cool moustache
But that was Loghaine and yes I did sacrifice my young, fertile FemHawke to make sure he could suffer a few more years
>his Loghain survived the Landsmeet
Yup

Kys
My best friends were Barkspawn and Sten in that order.
>is left behind in the Fade for a dude with a cool moustache
based
the scene with varrick afterwards is pure kino
frick varrick by the way
One of the only scenes in the entire game with any emotional weight or competent acting and all it took was killing off the protagonist of the 2nd game.
Though in my case I saved Loghain over Hawke, which in and of itself was so absurd it still brought down that scene for me.
The only good thing I will ever have to say about DAI is that you can give Loghain a proper end with that quest. Using Hawke is just edgy.
Loghain ending up acting Commander of the Orlesian Grey Wardens is a funny turn of events
Oh and I also enjoyed killing off Bull's troon squad of literal whos
>is left behind in the Fade for a dude with a cool moustache
Him having to "Leap into the Abyss" as Flemeth said he had to and fighting the nightmare is so much better than taking the easy route of saving the previous MC and sacrificing the random npc no one cares about. Also
>you now remember when a pre-release trailer showed Hawke and Alistair for the first time and people recognized the former but not the latter because he looks nothing like he did in DAO
Imagine being a DAI dev hyped for fans to see the trailer but none of them realize it's Alistair showing how hard you fricked up
You know the first time I tried to romance Eveline because redhead+dumb warrior and also because she was "tehehe Hawke I only care about work but I always have time to check on you, I really care about you" and because you had a few flirts option but then I discover not only that she isn't romance but if I help her with her companion quest she will ignore all my flirts and frick a random guard in her office while I'm outside
I left hawke in the fade cause dragon mom told me that was her fate at the start of DA2
>her
fem Hawke is so fricking hot, I wish I could make Bethany look like this and have incest sex with her
I, on the other hand, wish to be her, like a fricking troon
Yeah I tend to play Origins as a Male Dwarve Noble, hawk isnt able to be remade so I just had played fem hawke then and depending on my mood of wanting to go through the slop of inquisition its either Human or Dalish Elf.
make him hate on blood magic no matter player choice and savefile import even if he romanced Merrill and is a fricking blood mage himself
Honestly, considering the trailer portrays him as only using Blood Magic as a last resort this makes sense
The trailer where he kills the Arishook was one of the best promotional video I've ever seen. It convinced me to pre-order the game despite not liking DAO due to how sluggish it felt. But it was such a lie
>the staff he uses is a free DLC and not even in the game
>the armor set is only available after the events of the trailer
>he fights the Arishook in a room and not in front of a crow on a throne
>the spell he uses to kill the Arishook isn't even in the game
What a load of crock. Never felt more lied to.
>>the spell he uses to kill the Arishook isn't even in the game
it is in the game, just not as a spell, more like an execution move or something? you can do it on those big monsters from the fade
still shit anyway
Yeah it's Crushing Prison, and the animation can happen as a 'kill move' if you do it to a big enemy when they're low on health
>>the spell he uses to kill the Arishook isn't even in the game
It was. Crushing Prison
I think the lack of player agency in the story is what pissed me off the most about DA2. Like you don't always need to make your RPG protagonist the chosen one where every character sucks his/her wiener but at the same time you don't want to make them someone that is constantly strung along where every choice they make is completely invalidated by forces beyond their control. It's like BioWare tried to course correct too hard.
The quest where Meredith forces you to hunt down blood mages was where I stopped caring. There's some elven woman who's like "yeah my husband is scary AF and talked about wanting my blood". Hawke tells her that he'll protect her and to wait for him to come to her at nightfall.
What does Hawke actually do? Waits around a corner until he stabs her and she's on the floor dead lol.
Leaving this gay behind for a literal who in Inquisition was worth the pirate
I'd have been fine with DA2 using the Warden Commander from Awakening and leaving the player's fate either unheard of or ambiguous or just saying "a sacrifice was made to protect Denerim and defeat Urthemiel". Problem is EA didn't want to wait 4-5 years for another entry and they killed ME and DA in the same decade within a comparable timespan.
The only correct choice.
>this guy basically solo's the Grey Warden party + their combined armies
>He's just another unnamed enemy to the Hero of Fereldan that gets beheaded/blown up in the regular timeline
I love when games do this
I totally forgot about that expansion, but now I remember it being pretty damn neat.
How did Alistair do, anons?
>Barkspawn is canon
Is pic related the first time the name was used? This comic is from November 2009 while the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC came out May 2010
Did pretty fricking good honestly, it's kinda funny how he didn't actually need us at all
We aren't Hawke or the Inquisitor, eve the Human Noble is just a random guy who steps up because Alistair doesn't want to.
>Did pretty fricking good honestly, it's kinda funny how he didn't actually need us at all
He did though, considering he and the party get bodied by a mini-boss
Well, yeah, he choked in the home stretch, but for a guy who was pretty keen on dodging responsibility, clearing nine-tenths of the game with no reload is a solid effort.
>eve the Human Noble is just a random guy who steps up because Alistair doesn't want to.
If you play/interpret it a certain way, the Cousland protagonist isn't even stepping up because Alistair doesn't want to, but because the Noble himself wants revenge on Howe and everything else is just getting within sword range of the fricker.
Eh, I prefer "that damn Cousland smile" to the straight revenge story.
>Eh, I prefer "that damn Cousland smile" to the straight revenge story.
The what now?
I'm okay with a straight revenge story because it's done in a satisfying and lengthy manner. DA:O plays every old fantasy RPG pretty much completely straight anyway, down to the most ridiculously on the nose standoffish ancient elves and drunken bearded dwarves seen in years, but I like it since it does so unapologetically and without ever going, "Hey, it's just like Other Fantasy thing! Isn't that so wacky?" Man, I forgot how much I like Origins. I fricking hate what Bioware became so much, bros.
This, Human Noble is the best origin because it ties you personally to the main quest moreso than the Circle of Magi or Bhelen do in other origins. The big baddie's second in command personally slaughtered your entire family, it doesn't get more metal than that.
mage always felt kind of half-assed, the dwarves had a bunch of relevance but only at orzamaar, but yeah human noble is definitely linked the most, going from "get revenge" to "get revenge and also save the world and the 30 other things that have piled up holy frick I just want to kill this guy but there are so many other people who are also in need of stabbing"
in retrospect the origins don't really have THAT much difference for most of the game and even the flavor dialogue tends to die down in the latter half, but it's still way above and beyond what most any modern dev would do and especially once you count the hours of per-origin intro stuff that literally 80% of players probably never even see
>ties you personally to the main quest
no it's doesn't, Howe is just a minor antagonist in Ferelden. The plot is about darkspawn.
>no it's doesn't
Hell yes it does. The game's antagonist is 100% Loghain, he's the man that screws everyone up at Ostagar, gets Cailan killed, sends assassins against you the entire game and whose frick-ups you clean up throughout the entire game and every big story arc up until the Landsmeet. In comparison the Archdemon really is just "a big dragon". And Howe is Loghain's second in command and seen with him in cutscenes throughout the game like the one where they hire Zevran. Having him kill your family ties you directly to wanting Loghain's downfall much more than if you were a disconnected Grey Warden on his first day at the job. Don't be disingenuous.
Human Mage canonically makes you related to the Hawke family.
Incredibly based of Alistair except ruling with Anora.
>ywn let Isolde point a knife at you while having animeZevran in your party
Playing as Alistair would have been pretty kino

Can’t find the Japanese dub anywhere
The Inquisitor is a Marcher though.
Gonna replay Origins after i finally decide on how i want my Human Noble to look like(i am massively autistic)
Is the level limit high enough to support going from sword and shield into dual wield for story reasons, or do i just stick with one?
>how i want my Human Noble to look like
Make him look like the official BioWare dude from the trailers (the in-game trailers not the CG ones)
That's just goth Alistair
More than one person in Ferelden is allowed to have the "John McNormie" hairstyle
Not in the same group of friends
Sounds like a (You) issue
>canon Warden and Hawke look like chads
>canon Inquisitor looks like an Oblivion character
I won’t defend them but I enjoy 2 and Inquisition despite being far worse than Origins
I can meet you halfway in that DA2 can be amusing if you play it as a real butthole.
Inquisition I cannot defend even a little bit.
I’m in the same boat
Commander of the Grey, but only Cousland or Aeducan. Otherwise, Aggro Hawke.
DA:O was the only game in the series worth playing and even then it was mediocre.
Best class for Inquisition?
Uninstall Wizard
quality joke
kudos, anon
>DAO, DA2 and DAI all came out in five years
>it's been ten years since Inquisition and Dreadwolf is nowhere near release
Yeah, making games these days seems like a disaster.
Mass Effect isn't doing much better, BioWare is a sinking ship at this point and it's a wonder how long EA will even bother using the branding after the decade of stinkers they've been dropping.
its for the best. No one can honestly be excited for Dreadwolf
gays are just anticipating a flop and the death of a studio that honestly ruined western RPGs for alot of gays.
I find Origins a slog tbhqwty. Only found Ozarmar and Tower fun.
The Inquisitor getting two completely different "cover armors" really rustled my jimmies. Then again the armor mechanics in DAI in their entirety are horrible, nevermind then the armor designs
WhTs the other one?
What*
Pic related, one on the left is from wallpapers and the game's cover. One on the right is from the E3 demo and trailers. Same thing happens with his greatsword, sometimes it looks like the Refined Greatsword sometimes like the Greatsword of the Dragon. Make up your fricking minds BioWare, it was easy as frick to equip Hawke with the Champion Robes and calling it a day.
>champion robes
Looked up since i never played 2
Holy shit the mage version is so much better than the other 2 it's unreal
What do you mean, you don't like Korean MMO armor designs?
You know what's REALLY funny? There is literally only three armor sets total for each class, one for each act, if you don't own any of the DLC.
Eh, don't see much issue in that
At least it's not Tiers, were your family blade quickly becomes worthless after getting it.
You're joking, right? That's three armor sets total for the entire game. Even Origins had at least three unique models for every class of armor and the only restriction between armor classes was your strength so there was even more variety.
Pity you have to more than 2/3rds of the game without it
*to go more than
I've always liked this battle-mage Hawke. You magical powers in the lore comes form your connection to the fade, or whatever, right? So it doesn't mean you'll be more powerful if you read books, so there's no reason for most mages to be scrawny. A brawny fighter who just happens to have raw talent is a nice change of pace.
It also makes Carver even sadder
>big brother has both talent in magic AND physical strength
>big bro got all the ladies in lothering after his dick, including my crush
>he even steals the cute and quirky elf girl i was hitting on
Suddenly his standoffish and b***hy attitude makes sense
you forgot that I also stole his twin sister first time
he doesn’t know that
He's tsundere for Garrett
That checks out for Carver - guy's role is all about being the middest fricking middle child in all of Thedas, and either dying or learning to deal.
Uh, mages have a connection to the fade yes, but iirc their power comes from the fact that their bodies naturally produce lyrium. And in fact consuming lyrium potions are also how templars use their anti-magic
Two things: I WANT TO FRICK MEREDITH AND FRICK ANDERS, I HATE THAT LITTLE b***h

It's just his autism. Just ignore it.
>Brutal, what's her answer?
She sounds upset and says something like yes of course it would never be possible
Then she walks off and probably cries herself to sleep LOL
>this is not real, right? It's just a meme out of context or something? Tell me it's not real
It's not real, I lied
What actually happens is that you have sex with her and then she immediately tells you afterwards about her ex that she had sex with in the past

Oh hey I was doing that quest today, i was laughing because it was exactly as you say most of the decisions don't matter because they end up with the same outcome
>only for her to scream her ex's name out loud during sex
That’s not what happened, she was reflecting on how she was worried about losing you and remember that a dude she was with over twenty years ago just died. Don’t start trying to turn it into cuck shit.
That's a man
You guys need help if you see a woman and think about dicks.
>You guys need help if you see a woman that looks like a middle aged man

>Got duped into supporting the qunari by a guy whose job is to lie to people
>Actually believing that Bioware writing is playing 4D chess with a side troony, when in fact it was completely 100% spoken in earnest, because that was the intent of the writers
Was it though? Sten makes fun of Leliana in DAO for fighting like the men do. There's definitely an argument to be made that Iron Bull is just lying to Kremla (which the game makes abundantly clear multiple times that he is a liar)
>Expecting Bioware to adhere to their own lore
>Expecting them to not make everything a platform for their own agenda
I still can't believe that DAI was going to let the Inquisitor frick a demon posing as Leliana and it got pulled because female writers thought it was "rapey"
Fact is, that other anon has a point. Iron Bull is definitely not meant to be trustworthy. It's just funny to see him saying that shit when we've had multiple characters debunk what he says
>Sten makes fun of Leliana in DAO
>in DAO
Yeah that's what we call a retcon
Kek you guys are pretending DAO was some right wing artistry. It wasn't, I remember Bioware at the time was shoving the gay sex scenes in everyone's faces
Can't wait for pic related to be in Dreadwolf then
we went from this to the troony squad in inquisition
Far from it, the game is absolutely as liberal as you'd expect from late-aughts media. But it also made it clear that under the Qun, women don't fight, and part of Sten's unfamiliarity with non-qunari arises from the fact that he's hanging out with women who do.
Point to the important troony NPC you're told about in DAO then, or the companion whose backstory is "daddy doesn't love me because I suck wiener :("
This anime and the fan response to it proved that Bioware will never do anything interesting with slavery as a topic
The villain was done so dirty for the grave crime of being born to someone who has slaves. Even though he helped MC escape after she killed his mother and tries to bring MC's brother back to life
Meanwhile the b***h MC was dating that literally betrays her and tries to sell her into slavery is somehow meant to be sympathetic
It's not my fault that BioWare decided to make the mouthpiece for their newer, friendlier qunari lore a fundamentally dishonest person with strong political and strategic motivations for turning disaffected locals into foreign assets.
This, and they’re not gonna walk it back (even if they somehow wanted to, which they don’t) because of trans-erasure or some other shit
I thought a spy is supposed to blend in and pose as someone he's not instead of getting angry and seethe at me if I disagree with him? Because that's what happens in regards to the qunari troony.
Iron Bull's role was to draw focus to him so that everything else gets ignored. He tells you that he and the Qunari are being up front and trusting and are willing to share information, but none of that ends up being true.

Rest in Pepperonis.
Basically, Andromeda with Swords.
>You cannot spam abilities. You dont have many abilities.
>Leaker described the combat as close to God of War, Mass Effect Andromeda, Witcher 3. “If ME:A was meelee instead of ranged”.
But you could spam abilities in Andromeda. In fact, Andromeda had the most ability spam with certain builds out of all the Mass Effects.
I'm assuming he is refering to the power wheel cooldown mechanic, of Andromeda. Where you can't swap abilities, and it puts them in a cooldown.
No. That doesn't make any sense. The ability swap had a cooldown because you were changing your whole build/class. That's not the same as using an ability.
You are also conflating two sentences together.
The abilities thing is one sentence, the combat is another.
The frick are you talking about? The abilities usage is part of the combat. You don't use abilities in Dragon Age for any other reason then combat. This isn't a Larian game where you can dick around towns.
>The frick are you talking about? The abilities usage is part of the combat.
There's more to combat than spamming abilities.
I guess I'd expect you to know that, if you had played any games in your life.
The leak said you can't spam abilities, like in Mass Effect Andromeda. You, in fact, can spam abilities all day in Mass Effect Andromeda. It's the "leaker" who has not played any games in their life. To me, the "leak" just sounds some someone trying to get ecred on an anonymous chinese imageboard.
>The leak said you can't spam abilities, like in Mass Effect Andromeda
That's not what it said.
It said you can't spam abilities, and that you have few of them.
It said the combat felt a lot like Andromeda.
It didn't say you can't spam abilities in Andromeda.
It said you can't read, though.
>"If ME:A was melee"
>"character writing and dialogue felt 'Marvel-esque' and quippy"
>" 'The game will be divisive' "
Can't wait for the game to be so bad (especially now that people will compare it with BG3) it'll make Inquisition look like Planescape Torment
>Character writing and dialogue felt “Marvel-esque”, very quippy.
You know Bioware are going the way of Larian now
Inquisition had them shoehorn open world and dragon battles because of Skyrim and breasts and cloth physics because of Witcher
Reactive moronic canadians
writing and dialogue felt “Marvel-esque”, very quippy.
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH I HATE MODERN WRITERS SO FRICKING MUCH
I wouldn't trust any leaks. DA4 has been restarted twice due to EA shenanigans and there's no telling which version its coming from.
Allegedly, this is the last build, that is as of 2023, and too late to restart yet again. Everyone is saying the game is coming out late 2024
i was really hoping BG3 would usher in a return to isometric gameplay with dragon age reprising it's place in the genre but i guess not, what a shame
It came out too late for EA to start trying to chase that trend
I have no expectation of Dreadwolf being good. I am just going to play it in case Merrill shows up in it
She'll probably show up as Solas' concubine if you helped her restore the mirror
You can actually fix the mirror? I just killed the keeper and the rest of the elfs
Those bygone generic male protags.
Do breast implants exist in Thedas?
As someone who has trudged through the most recent media pertaining to DA leading up to Dreadwolf it’s clear that there are SOME writers there who are still somewhat competent, however a lot of the stories they tell get bogged down by their LGBT pandering/progressive shit.
Tevinter Nights in particular is a mixed bag of genuinely cool, grimdark stories that feel straight out of Origins like Horrors of Hormak where some homosexual Warden’s boyfriend is killed and his upper body is sliced off and put on top of a giant tainted centipede, forcing the warden to kill him. But then you get other shitty stories where you have a literal non-binary troony skipping through Tevinter in order to find a tentacle monster while being aided by Dorian and his troony friend.
I can’t wait to see the chaos that will ensue when Dreadwolf comes out.
Patrick Weekes, supposedly the most competent writer AND the most senior pre-Microsoft survivor, is a they/them non-binary with blue hair, which they only discovered about two years ago after living as a middle aged married white man for 40 years
He’s single handedly responsible for shitting on most post David Gaider content since Gaider’s departure.
I tought Gaider himself did that
Lol I remember how every time there was a patch for MEA that there would be a line like
>Conversation with Hainly Abrams has been changed
without fail
Like it was someone's full time job to fix any possible complaint with the trans character
Oh hey, it's Aragorn on the left!
Holy shit I’ve never met someone else that’s actually read the side shit before? I stopped at magekiller just as the Breach opened. I planned on getting through Inquisition again before continuing but couldn’t.
Weekes is a homosexual (not actually gay funnily enough) he’s the one responsible for making Celene gay and turning what could have been an interesting civil war/rebellion story that delve into the politics of Orlais and how the Game worked into moronic elven victim and lovers quarrel shit.
I have the base game for Dragon Age Inquisition, should I buy the DLC too? Is it any good?
If you like the base game, the DLC are all pretty good. If you haven't tried the base game first, give it a try before committing.
This will be the tranniest, shittiest game ever, they learned nothing from the Andromeda shitshow
Can’t wait for this series to get ran through by big bull trannies too just like all the mid 2010’s vidya game series have been recently then gears of war too ooh kotor bioshock should be lame and gay too
Hero of Ferelden, others are b***hes.
