Honestly these posts reminding me why I quit DA social media. Imagine waiting a decade only to complain about a trailer's tone.
Not gonna let sad people affect my perspective of the game. Learned the lesson from MEA.

Trailers being stylistically different from the game is par for the course. Why are people suddenly treating this as some kind of fumble. WoW and D4 released trailers that look nothing like the game and nobody has said anything lmao For pretty much all the games I play, the tone of the trailer is the tone of the game. Dont remember DAO featuring heavy metal action packed sequences.

Seems like everyone who has played or seen gameplay is painting a completely different picture of the game than what we saw today. Why does BioWare's marketing have to be this way? Trailers being stylistically different from the game is par for the course. Why are people suddenly treating this as some kind of fumble. WoW and D4 released trailers that look nothing like the game and nobody has said anything lmao

Dragon Age @dragonageEven a broken world can be beautiful - welcome to Minrathous. Enjoy this sneak peek at an in-game environment you'll see much more of in the #DragonAge: The Veilguard Gameplay Reveal on June 11! Join the YouTube Premiere chat tomorrow where we'll be sharing a few special surprises ahead of the trailer! This tweet seems like Damage Control, though. I wonder if the reception today will impact what we'll witness in june 11th. *damage* lol... not knocking your post but just like other games the Bioware antifans latch on to something and go to town. Guess the trailer graphics this time. Wonder what thing in the gameplay trailer will make their faces even more tired.

I wouldn't be so sure gay men have more restrictive standards. I still remember the debates about DAI's female companions... or female characters in games in general. Oh, you better believe that gay men are as serious and strict about what they fancy as straight men! Though, I feel like in most cases, if you just give gay dudes a hunk with some big big muscles, you'll be good. But the same goes to straight men, give the women some big tits with an hourglass figure and that's good enough LMAO. Of course, this is just a generalization before anyone gets massively butthurt please I'm just joking! For the most part... Just google "gay lesbian yaoi chart" and you'll see that you're 100% correct lmao

The ears looked a bit goofy lmao. Also an elf so probably skinny regardless of strength. Dont like Lucaris's facial/hair style. Also looks scrawny. Bots complaining about art and here I am whining about how hot the guys are 😭 Queer/KISA fandom 0. Death by Snu Snu fandom 2 (Karlach/Lae'zel). The dude has serious pecs in some of the art they've been dropping. Aw yea.

It's too early really for me to say who I'll like; with DAI I thought I'd end up with Cullen, and in BG3 I was convinced I'd get with Wyll but Gale surprised me! Spontaneously I'm a little bit more interested in Lucanis than Davrin, and after them it's Harding followed by Bellaria and Neve. Emmerich is a bit too... crazy scientist looking for my taste. Taash looks too much of a hardass, but maybe looks are deceiving. Haha it's definitely too early and these are just the CGI models. They'll look different in game. Just having a laugh. Maybe Dav and Luc will surprise me. The necromancer isn't gonna do it for me for sure lmao.

Lmaoooo, honestly at this point it seems gay men have much more restrictive standards than straight men when it comes to video game pixels I've seen this with my own circle of gay friends as well! I'm more concerned whether any of the male romances feel like they were written with men in mind, since we are going back to all bi route. And yes, I can generally tell who the target demographic is. Gays love their bara men and we don't have much of them in video game media. The guys definitely look catered to the girls.

I wonder if we're going to have a more set protagonist like DA2 with Hawke or if we're going to get to choose our race Like in Origins and Inquisition? A preset one like Hawke (or Shepard from ME) is probably easier for the devs but I love playing as an elf in these games so I hope I'll be able to do that. ALso, I haven't really kept up with the books after the Masked Empire and haven't read any of the comics since they're hard or expensive to get. I hope it doesn't take too much away from character interactions. Though I suppose it didn't with Cole so maybe I'm worrying over nothing. Dunno where I read it but they said you can "be who you want to be and play how you want to play" so I imagine that is code for having many races and classes available.

Oh I bet the queer/gay KISA fandom is in shambles now, as nothing in this game looks like an Alistair or a Cullen. Davrin might still surprise you, you never know. The ears looked a bit goofy lmao.

I see the script for the hate bots is blatant. You can’t go two comments in most places without Overwatch or Fortnite being regurgitated. Hate how this is the norm… a game is chosen for love in a genre and all else are laughable piles of garbage. Do these people moaning about the look and quips while asking why they just didn’t copy BG3 realise how quipy and cartoony that game gets? At least be consistent haters. It has to be coordinated with bots. I refuse to believe what I'm seeing.

Assuming all companions actually are romancable, and are playersexual, I think it's a good time for straight men and lesbian ladies! Harding and Bellaria look very cute, and Neve looks interesting if nothing else. Taash I'm not so sure about, but for those who like them giving off dom-vibes... No shade towards the male companions, but I think the ladies outshine them a bit. Didnt get my basic male human fighter. Why does no RPG make one anymore. Inb4 I end up romancing one of the girlies again.

I'm really out of the loop, I have no idea who this McKay person is. If I understand what's going on we're getting a trailer either friday or sunday, and a 15 minute gameplay reveal Tuesday. And no more Laidlaw, Gaider, Darrah, etc... It won't necessarily be the Dragon Age we reminisce about but it doesn't mean it can't be just as good!

Grog Muffins if this is accurate I suspect characters were made for people only playing offline, and it's possible they would have filled a similar function. It's also possible companions were made before the shift to MP that could be reused. The only people who truly knows are the ones working there, and I guess it will be quite some time before we can hear the story from them (unless Jason Schreir does another article I guess). I will give it a chance, especially because I still believe the companions will be good, but I have the feeling I won't replay it as much as I have DAO. I don't think I've ever replayed an RPG as much as Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2. I was obsessed. No that's an understatement. I don't think I ever will either. 15 years later and I still remember every square inch of Dragon Age's setting.

That's discouraging. Either the writing staff just lost their minds pumping out 7 full fleshed characters in a relatively short amount of time, or they are very light on depth. They ditched live service in February 2021 at the latest( more likely in late 2020). It's been more than 3 years since that, how in the world they wouldn't be able to write characters in depth in that time???
Mass Effect 3 was developed in under 2 years, for crying out loud!
In literally everyone's defense, the Dragon Age fandom has collective psychosis from waiting for a decade for this game to release. It all blurs together.

One reason I stopped following Dragon Age discourse (mostly) up until now is that the comments are either unabashed praise or dreadful hate. There's no in-between for them. Dragon Age has a DEDICATED hater base. It's actually insane. Yep. It went down the memory hole but DAI was actually a hit but revisionist history now has it as vile disaster. I get why Andromeda was flawed but it was much better than the internet thought it was. Only Anthem was a genuinely bad game/stinker. Andromeda is the reason why I stopped following game media before release. The media surrounding it soured the game for me SO MUCH that I played it once on release and didn't even finish it because every minor detail was complained about and it bogged my attention. I came back to Andromeda a year later and I don't think I ever had as much fun in a Mass Effect game than playing a Vanguard Pathfinder (I usually played Soldier in Mass Effect). The dialogue was nothing crazy but I actually felt robbed.

Reading all this...I continue to be thankful Anthem flopped I would have probably played it anyway since Dragon Age but god that would have been such a departure. What were they thinking (the management)?
