The Dragon Age: Inquisition Thread

[HammyTheFat]

I've always naturally assumed that DAI was developed as an MMO and then get retrofitted into single-player like Lords of the Amalur, but when I stated this in this very thread years ago, some people (I think Rougay) gave me shit for it, and posted "proofs" that this wasn't really the case.

I'm still mystified to this very day.

It's always been funny to me that amalur has a better gameplay loop and quests than inquisition despite one of them not even being designed as a single player rpg.

I highly doubt DAI was intended to be a MMO at any point. Keep in mind that their star wars MMO was released three years before inquisiton.

The gayme keeps shitting out these "special requsitions" that I never asked for, and gives me unbelievably hideous weapons and armor that I just sell immediately. The latest "pearl" was a ginormous red lyrium staff (I thought that stuff is extremely toxic and dangeous?) and swords.

The hideousness of dragon fag cisquisition is not limited to goblin faces and retarded nobles' outfits.

Shut the fuck up

Don't worry, I'm already at the part where you go to investigate the Grey Wardens' disappearance with Hawke and Kain Logaine, I'm very close to the end!

They were right. There was a call mid development to make the game cross-gen rather than Xbone/PS4 only, a substantial amount of content and mechanics were cut and hastily replaced with the "Collect 10 bear asses" MMO filler we ended up with.
There's still some pre-release footage out there you can watch:

What does this mean? I'm not well-versed in consoletard.

The game would work on different consoles across generations, for instance, being able to play it on PS3 and 4 or PS4 and 5. There's extra development required, and the results aren't always ideal. Bloodborne runs like shit in the PS5 iirc.

I still remember when they were talking about how Inqusition would have detailed ship sailing mechanics and naval combat.

That video makes me a bit sad, I vaguely remember it from the time, and having a sense of anticipation

Ok, so the heart dialogue option is the romance option. I hadn't realized that, thinking it was just a "friendly" reaction, and have apparently been romancing everyone in the Inquisition. One of them came after me with explanations.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Oh no what a fate, to be chased by people wielding explanations.

 

[Skinwalker]

* demanding explanations.

Anyway, why is everyone romanceable? Is every character omnisexual? Even Cullen? Even Cassandra, even though I am male?!

 

[Just Locus]

Everyone in fantasy games are horny, to be fair

DAI infamously included straight romance options. Cass is straight, for instance. Cullen will only romance humans.

Don't worry, they won't get mad at you. They're all playersexual and polygamous because that's hecking hecktacular like the awesome button.

They're actually not all playersexual and the fact Cassandra's straight actually pissed off a lot of DAI's fanbase, because in their minds DA is supposed to be the most woke and mostly gay sex positive fantasy setting to ever exist next to BG3.

 

[Poseidon00]

DAI insulted the players with their romance options by making all of them butt fucking ugly and half of them gay. Cassandra? Sarah? Really? Vivienne was the only semi interesting one of the lot and was, of course, not available.

 

[Skinwalker]

I don't even know who is Cass or Sarah, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Just say Cassandra stop idk why the fsggots say "Cass".

They also ruined that character making her look like am ugly dyke with the ugliest voice/accent I've ever heard. It's a shame because she was one of the only companions in all of DA:I who actually fit the setting a bit (ignoring the stupid smut story lover thing).

Meanwhile the girl options were big dick gigachads, dreamy elf twinks and prince charmings, so pretty much all preferences covered
Also, friendly reminder that the notorious sodomite David GAYder called people who demanded a romance with the dwarf scout sexual deviants

 

[Skinwalker]

Oh, Cassandra is neither lesbian nor playersexual, and if I was a degenerate who picks female protagonists, she wouldn't be into "me"?

I'm getting severe cognitive dissonance from this game. They design a character to look and act like the most obvious dyke this side of the Netherlands, but then make her heterosexual. Then they take Cullen, who is the only seemingly-normal White guy apart from Blackwall (who I hope isn't romanceable), and make him gay/playersexual.

And I'm not even going to begin guessing about Iron Bullshit (I remember seeing a "heart" option at some point in his dialogue, and I didn't pick it solely because I detest the Qunari and want them wiped off the face of Thedas, it didn't even occur to me that he is romanceable by anyone, let alone by a male human mage).

Iron Bull is literally only there for the coal burners who want to fuck a beast.

They also needed to add some progressive, tranny tolerating guy into the militant Islam religion of Thedas.

P. sure Cullen is a ladies' man only. Likewise with Niggerwall

What? Cullen romances only women(human or Elven).

I think our bro here accidentally rolled a female elf thinking it's a dude.

She actually had a good design in DA2. She wasn't cutesy and looked like a fighter should, but she wasn't gigachad man-faced either.

 

[Skinwalker]

I'm pretty sure I saw a "heart" dialogue option with Cullen at Haven! And I am male!!

That's there to troll the faggots.
