I think we need less people speculating what's in people's pants and more people speculating what an alien species's sweat smells and tastes like. Hopefully, we will find an answer in the next ME game.
I also find it wholesome that Tali's fans are being called Clan Zorah.

If he wants to call bigots 'tourists' (though that seems fair) then that's his opinion not BioWare's. And so it starts already.

I thought Gaider was too young to be an angry old man? Maybe if Bio keeps the looks of a recurring char from game to game, negative criticism might be avoided?
Changing the game engine may prevent the artist from re-creating the char's face but still, look at Cass from DA2 and DAI. Take Leliana. In DAI she looks 3d. Somebody took their time with her. Not so with Cass.... compare the latter side by side from DA2 next to DAI. Also, the cinematic chars looks better then the game char.
Bottom line, a lack of consistency invites neg. crit.
As to DG's comment, I'd much prefer for him to address why the same game chars look different or why some look better than others... and by that I mean "cartoonish" vs "human" like. ... intentional vs technical....

Gaider wrote wonderfully bitchy characters that I loved dearly. It didn't come out of nowhere. But hey he did manage one day to piss off Tumblr and was ran out of there. He likes to interact with the fanbase, and I think he enjoys arguing. I'd rather have a Gaider than bland PR talk. He wrote Morrigan. I worship him.
Now there is a char that I really enjoy. Oh, her famous witty repartee against Alistair, from a Witch of the Wilds.... DG's creativity at its best.

As I said in another thread when this topic was discussed, it's not Bioware's fault or responsibility to control Gaider or the way he expresses himself...and I don't personally think Gaider would restrain himself even if asked. I wouldn't personally go the way he did, anyway.
I think in regards of the topic he was talking about, people are free to criticize Bioware in regards of their characters' design, but he is right in regards of this criticism being recurring, at least for Dragon Age.
Female characters and romances have been heavily criticized (often in the same, if not worse, way people are criticizing Gaider) both in DA2 and DAI, with some similar talking points across the three games.
Again, I don't think people shouldn't be free to criticize if they don't like the design, and some could very well like former characters and not the ones in Veilguard, but the discourse about Veilguard being a unique, single case due to Bioware's new trend is honestly weird, given that most longtime fan would be well aware about the past criticism.

The thing is... it's not unique. Not anymore. Twitter is full of ragebaiters and very toxic people - usually overlapping with ones raging about Veilguard - arguing that any woman that doesn't look like porn star or isn't yassified looks like a man. A 19-year-old rape victim from recent Silent Hill remake. Lara Croft from new cartoon. Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. Etc, etc. At this point it's a plague.

Yes, long time fans are aware. Aware that Bio does not give a rat's arse about what their fans like or dislike. ... "artistic integrity" and all that.
Success with DA4 means a DA5 and a ME5.... and that's what I want to see.

He broke the - 'stop calling for the Quarian Ark DLC, it's not happening guys' in 2017. And of course the Kotaku expose on the state of BioWare making Anthem in 2019. Sections of BSN weren't very impressed and pushed back and I think he pushed back too. Spoke to him a few times around then, seemed civil and decent.

Can i ask you about the picture in your signature? Who is it between Eivor and Aloy? Agent 47 from Hitman series?

Made sense to share for me since he broke the news on EAs plan to make DA4 a multi-player game like anthem (and a few other DA4 development articles). He broke the - 'stop calling for the Quarian Ark DLC, it's not happening guys' in 2017. And of course the Kotaku expose on the state of BioWare making Anthem in 2019. Sections of BSN weren't very impressed and pushed back and I think he pushed back too. Spoke to him a few times around then, seemed civil and decent. Yea hhe mad e an enem yo fsome of us back then presonall yI tr yno tt oge tto oinvolved in discussoins on him these days.

I thought Gaider was too young to be an angry old man? Maybe if Bio keeps the looks of a recurring char from game to game, negative criticism might be avoided?
Changing the game engine may prevent the artist from re-creating the char's face but still, look at Cass from DA2 and DAI. Take Leliana. In DAI she looks 3d. Somebody took their time with her. Not so with Cass.... compare the latter side by side from DA2 next to DAI. Also, the cinematic chars looks better then the game char.
Bottom line, a lack of consistency invites neg. crit.
As to DG's comment, I'd much prefer for him to address why the same game chars look different or why some look better than others... and by that I mean "cartoonish" vs "human" like. ... intentional vs technical....
now assuming your argument is more then just aestics then this kind of thing does tend to happen. In games or movies you aren't always going to have universal standards in looks when it comes to this sort of thing. Secondary characters aren't going to look the same, even the same character isn't going to look the same during every scene either owing to resource management or different scenes calling for different looks. If the argument is just about aestics like different people have different looks and people even look different as they age. But for me Cassandra is way prettier then Leliana and Veilguard's cast is the most aestically pleasing that they have done.

When he put out the articles back in the day i was upset at him cause i was so steadfast in my belief that such a version of dragon age couldn't possibly be in development.
And then years later it's been confirmed by devs that it was a thing, so now I'm more open minded to hearing what he has to say
