Have you seen this yet?

Whatever this ... thing... is, it isn't dark fantasy.

Go fuck yourself Fedoratard for being such a biowhore fangirl.

The Fade will be dark fantasy in DA4, always was, but it's not only thing in it.

How is the Fade dark fantasy? ... it's the most generic fantasy part of the whole setting.

Warp could be grimdark like it was in Warhammer 40k but we never experienced true danger of warp/Fade in DA universe. Bioware probably came closest to showing how bad the Fade could be in DA:O in the Mage Tower quest while DA2 was a clown show in how it portrayed the mages.

Stop unironically posting about playing this abominable game.

This is a threat.

New page, new reminder

Also, the fact that Patrick Weekes is the lead writer for Dragon Age — a man who was Gaider's main disciple and who looks like this:

my eyes are bleeding

It doesn't bode well. This is the guy who wrote the trans bitch in DAI.

Disgusting sycophant.

He also posts shit like this about grognards and traditional RPG fans:



But I'm sure his next game will be fantastic.

"(they/them) sodomy flag"
"Pronouns" and a sodomy flag surely convinced me that the next DA would be a great game indeed.

It's going to be a fantastic vehicle for third tier Edmonton creative artists to virtue signal.

If they manage to hide a game in there somewhere, they'll outperform my expectations.

Imagine having like, a topic like "intersectional feminism" in your twitter (professional?) bio. Like not even a title, like "intersectional feminist". Just a subject. Like my name is John Epler, I am a narrative director for Bioware's Teh Dead Wolf Rises, intersectional feminism, and I identify as a man. I am also a leftist. The intersectional feminism doesn't even make sense. Like if your bio contained "intertestamental deuterocanical period". Like, I don't understand what is being conveyed here. "I do not identify as an intersectional feminist, I am intersectional feminism. I am the conceit of the idea." I am sure women are cool beans with this guy identifying as the whole of the topic.

Anyway, these are the people who write 'narrative'-based RPGs. People who can't even convey an idea properly in a twitter bio.

I get it now, it's all that feminism intersecting your bio.

My pelvis identifies as an intersection for feminism.

I'm actually hyped for DA4. I have a good feeling about it.

Have you seen this yet?

You are quite the optimist if Bioware's vision for the game doesn't make you lose hope.

Those gay hats. DA concept art is literally Tumblr art style.

The Executive Producer of Inquisition just dropped a video about it.

 

[Tom Selleck]

An hour and a half? Just timestamp me the part where he regrets making all the women ugly as shit in it.

 

[Atlantico]

I watched the entire thing, it's interesting for those of us who have played DAI.

It doesn't go into design or story at all, clearly not his department.

The Executive Producer of Inquisition just dropped a video about it.

Darrah's example of the executives asking the "no" questions: "Can I ride a dragon in this game?"
My example of a "yes" question: "Can I ride the Bull?"

 

[Sabotin]

Watched the video more or less.
Is it normal in game development to get deep into it before it's even decided what and how everything should be? For example it's said that horses were added later. Wouldn't the area designers need to know that before?
Also I find it funny they went to beg for an extra year to make the game bigger, and then it turns out it would've been better with a lot of the fat cut out...

 

[gurugeorge]

It sounds from the subtext in the early part that they had to waste a lot of time coping with passive-aggressive foot-draggers in the team - he actually sounds quite bitter about it, like he wanted to say to some people, "Shit or get off the pot."

Toss-up of course whether the foot-draggers were ultimately right or wrong, who knows.

 

[AwesomeButton]

This video proves so many worst assumptions to be true that it's hilarious. "How to make a shit AAA game: designing by comittee, phoning in features (the mounts, the useless fortress), hacking together some kind of story, lying to financial backers, and lying to players". Although he manages to explain their reasoning, that's what their development process amounts to.

It sounds to me there wasn't a single aspect of this game that anyone had a unique and defined vision about. "Marrying Skyrim to Dragon Age Origins" is not a vision, as he himself states.

We are left with the question how much of our money, time or energy is a product with this quality (and an entertainment product at that) really worth.
