- With Bioware revealing Dragon Age Veilguard we have seen a lot of great stuff. Such as the story, world, gameplay and what I want to talk about in this video companions. And Dragon Age Veilguard has some amazing companions designs! Each character is lovingly crafted and I want to go over them! So, lets discuss why Dragon Age Veilguard has some great companions and character design broadly.
The IGN article I used for the Cassandra point: www.ign.com/vi...
What do you think about the game's companions designs?
you know why its actually crap design, because no real good design ever needed a shill
@@tahnadana5435 what? I guess everyone praising BG3's designs are shills.
It's so nice to see a video.Put out by someone with disabilities, Because if you think these characteristics are good you must be fucking blind deaf, and definitely retarded
@@Knight1029 BG3 weakest spot - narrative and plot, so ye BG3 companions have their own problems too
I really like them in the trailer (subtle, natural face movements; distinct looks including signs of aging and past combat encounters), absolutely hated them in the gameplay reveal.
Both Solas and Varric looked ridiculous and like they had on to many instagram filters (just compare it to 3, where you could even see pores), making the scares and moles Varric has look oddly painted on. Especially since they changed his hair to reflect his aging, but then gave him beauty filter skin. Harding barely looks like she did before, they even gave her a completely different nose, but at least she looks more like an actual person than the other two.
In regards to Neve I have the same issue I have with a lot of BioWare's female characters: I don't like the way they walk (it always reminds me of how I walked when my scoliosis was at it's worst and I do not need that reminder!). I hope it's Neve specific bc of the prostethic (which would be cool) and not a 'female character choice'
I don’t have a good critical eye for art and maybe I’m just easy to please but I love the designs on all the characters here. I have to laugh whenever I see comments about how generic or ugly they are.
I think if someone likes something that doesn't mean they are easily pleased. You just like it.
But yeah I love the designs as well. It just looks amazing.
I Aldo chuckle at the comments calling the designs generic and ugly. It's like do they even know what words mean?
FWIW: I've asked more than a few people to explain why they think the characters are "ugly" and 100% of the time, the reply is that they don't look like Isabella or Morrigan. Really hard not to interpret that as "breasts mostly exposed" is their idea of "not ugly."
@@virginiamurr3703 when the reveal dropped I tried watching two videos from the people who hated the trailer just to see both sides you know? Both videos had the fact the warden Davrin is black as a punch line, so I just gave up there. I’m grateful Knight here has found videos to respond to that are not made by upfront racists
@@tidus94 Yikes. Some people are just ridiculously awful. I just don't get it.
Good to see someone that’s happy with the designs. Harding and Varic look amazing in my opinion. The others we haven’t seen enough of yet.
The Cinematic Trailer ruined this games first impressions so nobody’s giving it an unbiased and accurate review.
Thanks! I think they look really good so far. Even if we haven't seen the others as much I think they all look great.
So, many people just want to rag on the game and that sucks. It makes all the criticism look dumb and actually hides legit criticisms.
Really like how you discussed what character designs tell you about the character rather than the ‘are they hot or not?’ debate that everyone seems focused on. In a game like Dragon Age, the characters are there to tell a story, not just look pretty and I would rather have characters who communicate themselves well through their appearance, whether they are attractive or not (I do think this group is attractive; don’t get me wrong). You did an excellent job breaking down what the character designs tell you about each of the companions.
The only one that I am not sold on at this point is Neve. I think her design by itself is good, but it seems incoherent with the ‘voice of the streets’ characterization that the developers have said that they gave her. I would have thought that her look would be more simple and grounded (plus I can’t imagine tailing someone inconspicuously in that outfit, even in Minrathous). And I would have expected her to remind me far less of Vivienne. But my thoughts may change once I play the game and get to know her better. Great video!
Thank you. I am glad the video was good.
I can get just wanting to talk about how hot the companions are but I do think that reduces the discussion a bit. What a character should look like should reflect who they are and what story they are trying to tell. But so many people seem to just want them to be hot. It misses great opportunities for story telling. I like Oghren a lot but I feel if he was design later his look of a drunken dead beat would be gone or reduced. And I think if that did happen something would be lost.
You make a good point on Neve not looking like she represents the "voices on the ground". Though I think she is meant to be more of the noble echelon representing the people rather than being one of them. That is my interpretation at least. Still a good point that I should have mentioned in the video.
Again thank you for the kind words and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
A minor correction: canis means dog, not wolf. And while it's true that "lu" was sometimes used to emphasise that someone/something was young/small it was used as a suffix (es: Augustulus instead of Augustus).
So I don't think Lucanis' name is meant to give "little wolf" vibes.
On the other hand Neve literally means snow (and gallus is rooster).
So basically you have a Luke dog of death and a snow rooster.
I didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying. Though I do think Lucanis is meant to somewhat parallel some ideas of Solas. Alongside the purple coloring I think there is something.
That's funny though. Neve meaning snow rooster is just to good.
the lu part could be closer to italian rather than latin like Canis, lu-canis, lu being a typed out southern italian accent way of speaking
Roughly meaning "Lu-Canis= The Dog"
Hes from Antiva wich is basically italy in Dragon Age
Heres an example i could find:
"Lu cane mozzeca o secuta sempre lu strazzatu"
Translation:
il cane va a mordere o insegue preferibilmente il povero dai vestiti laceri
@@o.d.d.343 I suppose we'll never know. Well until someone asks them about in an interview that is. Anyway, a reference to ancient Lucania (and the lucani people) seems a bit more likely. Or they just like the name lol. While they took inspiration from real world history and cultures they never wanted to portray them exactly as they are/were (a good thing if you ask me).
Like tevinterians don't use patronymics (perhaps that's for the best, imagine they called Neve "Gallina" lol), Rivain has at least some parts of its culture not related to Spain, Ferelden isn't exactly England, Tevinter is often thought to be the DA "byzantium" by the fans but the territories they lost centuries ago were not their original homeland, on the other hand however their struggle with the qunari mimics the one between byzantines and truks, ecc.
Just saying they mix a lot of stories and cultures from around the world (mostly Europe but the pyramids of Par Vollen scream South America), but seems to focus more on the most famous ones.
So while taking inspiration from a local language (but not the official one) of another country is definetely a possibility, I wouldn't expect them to do it.
And I can't really blame them.
I love the new designs. Dragon Age is a series that evoles in every title. And every time you get the "this isn´t origins therefore it is trash" discussion. Thats the only constant the series has lol.
I get you. I do think it is an issue to have an inconsistent series but at the same time it has it own issues. Each Dragon Age being its own thing has merits to!
I like that group photo of the companions on the thumbnail. Very family-like.
And Varric is not on that.
I like it to! Especially how each of them is posed with so much personality.
This was a really good video. You were very detailed in your analysis.
I didn’t like the trailer but the characters in the game reveal look good. I like the stylization. Harding looks adorable. Neve looks cool and I love her voice. Bellara is really pretty. Lucanis is going to be very popular. Davrin is very handsome. Taash looks really serious. It reminds me of what Sera said about Cassandra: I’ll stand behind her in front of anything. Emmerich looks like Vincent Price. If he’s got a good voice actor and a dry or sardonic sense of humor, he’s going to be one of my favorites.
They all appear to have very unique personalities and it comes through in their design. I’m interested to see what kind of dynamic they all have with each other.
Thank you! I am glad my analysis was good!
I like the trailer but to the point at hand; I agree. They look so good and its clear their designs were far more considered on how their personalities can be portrayed. The one I am looking forward to seeing is definitely Emmrich. He just looks good.
I am also excited to see their dynamics. Its just something so good in Dragon Age.
I am so excited to play with this character creator. I love everything that I'm hearing.
Same! I can't wait to make the tallest dwarf with the new character creator.
It still baffles me how some think these designs are generic. There’s plenty of sources of visual interest, especially when compared to some of the character designs in the previous games. I’m still iffy on Taash just bc idk if I like how Qunari look in-game with the new art style but I’m a fan of her overall look-she’s very much representing the Lords of Fortune faction lol
Truly I think the people who think the designs are generic are just complaining to complain. They don't actually believe that they are just saying it to hate the new game.
I think the qunari look fine. Not my favorite version of the qunari, as I love the DA2 designs, but the look good. And I also love how Taash looks. She looks amazing.
I just think they are mostly ugly. But I realize that’s just my opinion and other people are entitled to theirs.
Thank you for the analysis! I already liked what I saw in the companion reveal trailer. I think they all look great as their design fits their personality and all of them have teir unique vibe. Also Neve, based on the early gameplay, became a stong contender for a romance.
Thanks! I am glad the analysis is good. I got suggested to do it by a commentor and thought "Why not?"
I think a good reason why they are so good is because of their designs.
They are all strong contenders for romancing. They are all just so good!
This was a great video! Than you for making it. I love character design analysis, it's so fun to break down the elements in a design and see what it says about the character. I think Neve's is my favorite, I love that her color pallet is balanced between having having two prominent opposing colors to the traditional Tevinter colors (black vs white and red vs blue) but also has two colors that still tie her to it(black and gold but lesser of them compared to the other colors). Also her outfit is just so cool I think! I also liked that you took their downtime outfits in to consideration too, it adds a lot to the character even if it's something small.
I think this dragon age has the the strongest character designs out of any of the dragon ages so far honestly. They all feel grounded and unique, but still tided to their separate cultures and factions. Very excided to see more of them and get to know them and their personalities more in the game!
Thank you! I wasn't sure if this video was good or not but I am glad people like it.
I can't really choose a favorite design because I like all of them. But I do think Neve's design is really good. As you said there is this opposing design of traditionally Tevinter and the bucking of that tradition. Its great! But as I am writing this I should have mentioned Dorian's design as well because he follows the same ideas.
The other Dragon Age games have great designs but Veilguard is (to me) the accumulation of years of character design experience. Can't wait to see more of them in game either.
@@Knight1029 That’s true! I forgot Dorian follows a similar design philosophy. I wonder if they took a lot of inspiration from him when designing her.
It is very hard to choose a favorite! I absolutely think all the designs are wonderful, Neve's is just like a little notch above the rest for me. I think it’s funny though, as much as I like her, I’ll probably end up romance Emmerich first because he’s two of my favorite things, Necromancer and distinguished gentlemen haha
@@Roman_Noodles101 they must have. He was the first good Tevinter we see. Everyone else were slavers or just evil. So I think it makes sense.
No yeah. All the designs are just wonderful. It makes choosing a favorite so hard. But I think it will be Taash for me. But who knows? Once in game maybe it will be different.
Also I just want to say that I was so surprised many people absolutely love Emmrich. Like he looks good and I love his vibes but man I was not prepared for what came.
@@Knight1029 true true, if I end up liking someone's personality more I might change my mind too.
I knew people were going to like Emmrich, but even I was caught off guard by just how many!
@@Roman_Noodles101 It can always change.
But yeah thank you for the discussion with me! It was really great.
I love this artstyle and design. The older ones were bland and boring because of technological limitations.
I love DAV's art style and designs too. It's looks amazing!
Good breakdown. Im glad to see characters who look like they're equipped for the job, and not a romance novel cover.
Regarding the red on the Warden armor, the grey wardens are in the middle of a civil war. I'm sure the factions within the order have distinguished their aesthetic from one another.
Too bad thats not what the community wants if you wanna see someone who looks like the local janitor down the street then go to the store for that keep the basic looking models in reality and the attractive characters in fantasy for gamers.
Thank you! Dragon Age has always been great in that regard.
That is a good point. It shows the warden's are fractured in a way. So, having different color helps distinguish them.
@@TeaTimeTable what? My man have you seen the thirst posts about Emmrich? My man is being stalked.
@@Knight1029 I mean I'm still going to romance every character but the Qunari and im sure Tumblr and Twitter are having their fill like always.
@@TeaTimeTable She looks cool. I don't get what's the issue.
I think they did a great job with the character design. I also like that they have been pushing boundaries. Even in Inquisition I think they made companions that were not always conventionally handsome or beautiful. Not that they weren't beautiful or handsome, they certainly were, just that they weren't so cookie-cutter which was nice to see. I'm glad they pushed that more in Veilguard. I like that the characters mostly come off as more mature-looking and maybe even a little bit older, also pretty similar to Inquisition which makes me happy.
I'm not great or technical really with analyzing these things. But maybe Davrin's red/orange and blue also represents a clash of some kind since blue and orange(although it's more red here) are opposites on the color wheel, maybe because he's presumably a Dalish elf which I think is sort of rare even for the Wardens? At least in Fereldan and in Origins, it seemed like that was the case. Things could have changed in the time since then too, though, and we are in a different part of the world now. This point is kinda weak but: It could maybe also point to how he's using a sword and shield, but he also has a little gryphon that he goes into battle with, which is more like a ranger-rogue class back in Origins. Although to be fair I don't know if that's how it's actually gonna work in game or not, but that's how it was in the trailer! But IF that were the case, I'd think it'd be blue and green or something like that, not necessarily blue and red, but it's just something that came to mind.
Neve's blue/white could, in a more on-the-nose way, be a nod to her ice magic as well. But I don't have anything else on that XD
In the trailer, there's a little bit of red on Lucanis' cloak, on the back although it's hard to see, which could be a nod to his assassin capabilities. Also on his tarot card, there's a bunch of "eye" looking things behind him, that also look like feathers, which could be a peacock, or something more sinister (or both?)! If it is a peacock, they can represent many things, but vanity, pride, and confidence can be a huge part of their symbolism. That and the fact you mentioned his name translates to "little wolf" is quite... intriguing.
This comment seems Sweet baby inc inspired - Which we in fact do not need more of " I think they made companions that were not always conventionally handsome or beautiful."
we arent playing games for reality purposes or to see characters that look like the tired old shopkeeper down the street. We want models handsome and feminine women tired of characters who look like Abby from last of us.
Adding that many freckles to harding was unnecessary
The asian girl could def be made to look more attractive
The non binary qunari is so obviously pandering
Everyone else is fine
It shouldnt only be japanese, korean or chinese studios making the traditionally beautiful male and female characters the western ones need to learn and give us back characters who actually have sex appeal
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I do like that there is a range of different types of designs. I think what is good about it is because they are a lot more considered. In DAO it seems the idea with character design was "What's the first thing that pops into my head about this character?" That's not bad but it does mean that the character designs are not as fully thought out. In DAV's character designs it seems that their are so many layers to them. You mentioned that the blue/white colors for Neve also represent her ice magic which I completely forgot about. Her design has so many different layers of meaning. Its great!
The only way to get better at analyzing is by doing it. A lot of what you should focus on is does the design achieve its goal. Like does Cassandra look like "queen of the vampires". And how you know that is by thinking of all the colors, shapes and iconography associated with that idea.
You do make a good point about Davrin. I do think he must be a Dalish elf because all the elves with tattoos have been Dalish. From DAO to DAI. All of the elves we meet with tattoos are Dalish. And looking more into the meaning of orange has a couple of meanings one of them being purification. Which makes sense with him being a warden. I should have mentioned that.
Nice point on Lucanis' tarot card. Eyes in Dragon Age have always been associated with the pride demons. Since they have many eyes. It reinforces the idea that Lucanis may be prideful.
@@TeaTimeTable my man I don't get it. Do you not think character designs could be used as a vessel for storytelling? What you are saying is that characters like Flemeth should look hot even though that wouldn't make sense for her in DAO. In DAO her looking old and unattractive made the point that she is far more powerful than she seems. It was used to contrast her weak appearance with her powerful magic. And when they changed it in DA2 they kept that contrast to a degree. She still look old but with her new clothes it makes this contrast even stronger. It isn't old woman who is secretly powerful. Its outwardly powerful person who looks old.
What you are suggesting means character design can't be used to tell a story.
@@Knight1029 Flemeth got a major upgrade in DA2 onwards She had body for days id romance the old hag could she have been beautified even more? Sure shes a powerful witch who bodyswaps and can change her appearance I see no reason why they couldnt give her a more youthful appearance if they wanted to.
@@Knight1029 It can be used to tell a story but If I were to use baldurs gate here as an example all the characters you can romance are attractive There's not really any "Ugly" people in that game and thats a good thing.
Too many Western studios wanna go down the "Realistic" look department and make these masculine women characters that no one is asking for - Like Please give me more Bayonetta or Classic Lara croft types
You can be sexy "Feminine" and still be a badass the two can coexist
There's even character designers out there already talking about how their designs when sent through are being changed and making the character uglier than the actual design. It needs to stop.
I generally like the companions a lot, and I was really hyped with the companion trailer. If they do them well, if they have good voice acting and great character arcs (+ as long as the story is good), this will be one hell of a game. Not worried about Davrin, because the dude that voices him also voices Javik from mass effect, and I love javik. If anything, I haven't been all too worried at all. I'm generally surprised of the sheer amount of people that are/ have been. The graphics also look absolutely beautiful, they are definitely the best we've had. It's also interesitng they're going to show the good vs evil route through light vs dark with the graphics + lighting. Definitely really excited! Just hoping bioware deos not mess this up, but I doubt they will.
I also hope that the companions have great stories and voice acting. It's stuff like that which makes Bioware companions good.
I also like that detail of using the graphics to show if something is good or bad. It adds layers to the game.
@@Knight1029 Yeah, I agree completely! Lets just hope bioware holds up to our expectations
@@a.4019 here's to hoping!
I really like the diversity we are getting in terms of companions. Like finally a Dragon Age Game that nails black hair styles instead of just giving us the cornrows and short hair. I love that we can get black and Asian coded elves in the game as well. Ever sense Inqistion they just been adding more and more black humans into the game like Vivienne and tons of NPC, So I am happy to see they triple downed here and are showing us more diverse ethnicity's, races, and body types. The biggest problem with Dragon age origins and 2 is that they tend to make all the humans white and the non-humans ones non-white like with Sten, Fenris and that one elf from awakening. So I am happy to see them keep moving away from that fantasy trope. I mean of course people are gonna scream woke and be angry about this stuff, but this really makes the world feel more immersive and larger than any other dragon age game in terms of world building if they do it right.
I like it to. It just makes it also feels a lot more considered. They didn't just thought "Okay gotta make a character *default white straight male*" instead they considered what character they should make. It's something I like about Dragon Age though. Even in DAO their was way more non-white characters than not. I remember distinctly thinking "Just random non-white NPCs? Don't see that to much in a fantasy game." It's cool to see Dragon Age continuing that trend.
Also yeah it's great to see black hairstyles actually get better and more prominent. Just adds more options for character design. And more options is always better in this case.
@@Knight1029 Yes I love it and the same with Baldurs gate 3. It just keep getting better and better.
Duncan wasn't white, was human, and was leader of the Grey Wardens in Ferelden. Isabella isn't white in DA 2 and is human female in place of some authority being a ship captain. In all three Dragon Age games can change the tone of your players skin. So can we stop pretending like the old games didn't showcase diversity and touch on subjects like racism and sexuality.
@@MEBOLOR yeah! I always thought it was better that we were able to get many different looking characters. Because ultimately its just cool and nice to see it
@@MrDay53 I think what they mean is that Dragon Age kept adding more and more. Especially with making better hair styles for black people.
Lucanis and Solis aren't the only characters associated with wolves. Fenris from DA2 was named by his master; Danarius, it means "Little Wolf"
@@TheGingerGod13 that is true. I am just saying that with Lucanis there is a connection with wolves.
@Knight1029 it's to be expected wolves are a very well known creature in mythology tend to be associated with hunters and predators
@@wintertrooper7918 I agree. I am not sure what you point is.
@Knight1029 just that you shouldn't jump to a connection with that as it's a common thing for males to have wolf names/nicknames
@@wintertrooper7918 sure but the difference here is that Bioware made the name. And also their are other pieces of evidence to my claim.
I think Emmrich look's cool
I agree. Good take.
And I'm going to romance the Veil Jumper Bellara. She is an Asian elf and she is very pretty.
I am probably gonna romance her to after Taash.
Bellara though is really pretty and I like the personality she has so far.
She's so cute ❤
@@sashacampbell3513 I agree!
I don't mind any of the designs tbh they are all genuinely fine. The only design I ever disliked was Dorian but he grew on me in Inquisition and became one my favorite characters
Really? What didn't you like about Dorian's design?
@@Knight1029 He looked too pompous to roughing it even more than Vivienne and her pointy hat but as time went on he just fit in naturally with everyone else and became part of my regular rotation.
@@ChrisDeebo I can see that. Dorian is not the kind of guy to just be slogging in the Ferelden mud.
So what language did you translate lucanis into "little wolf" because a realistic and more proper translation of his name would be "light of death" because lucianis is basically just lucianus which is a latin name derived from the word Lucius which means light and "Dellamorte" means "of death"
From what I looked up it was a Latin translation. Now I also checked up what you suggested and I can see it to. I will concede that I was wrong in what the name means.
Though I do think both still work fine. Though his name and surname meaning "Light of Death" is pretty cool.
Well done 🎉👌🏾 good vid
Thank you!
pretty sure it will be good just not what we all expected
I think that's fine. As long as its good. What's worse is doing the unexpected but bad.
I assume "veil" stands for the rift from Dragon Age Inquisition?
@@Scorpyu yes but no. Veil means the barrier between the Fade and the real world.
Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I understand that you like the character designs of Veilguard; it just doesn’t do it for me.
People like their characters realistic, I’m on the opposite end that likes their characters lookin’ like freakin’ supermodels.
To each their own, I guess; hope you enjoy Veilguard.
I respect that. If you don't like them then that's cool. I have no issues.
I think Neve looks gorgeous. But yeah, beauty is subjective. Maybe someone's personality will grow on you enough to warm up to them.
Otherwise, we'll, bioware said friendships are deep too.
Great video❤
Thank you!
Characters mostly look fine to me so far, but (so far at least) the qunari looked dreadful....
I do disagree especially with regards to Taash but hey if you feel like that then its cool.
@@Knight1029 initial impressions so far, keeping an open mind. 😊
Edit: Curious BTW, you disagree on the qunari, which is fine, I really hope you prove me wrong there, first female qunari companion after all, really want her to be cool! But what else do you disagree on?
@@loreofmetalenthusiast I think keeping an open mind is good. From what I have seen it looks pretty good.
Well what do you dislike about Taash? What do you think she should look like. Because to me she looks good.
As for the other stuff I disagree with; I think the companions look wonderful. They ooze personality.
I think that's it.
@@Knight1029 In that case I think we had a misunderstanding on your last point, because I agree. 😁
As for the qunari (and this is all based on that first (rather underwhelming) trailer, so take it with a grain of salt, so far it looks like (imo) they went out of their way to "ugly her up" for no reason, which would suck, as far as I remember qunari females are rarely seen outside of seheron (think that is the name).
This may well be the only time you get a female qunari party member outside of the PC (not to mention the game potentially flopping and/or EA being scumbags), I really hope they would want to do a good job there.
I'd hate to see her used as some kind of dumb statement by the devs.
Anyway thanks for the response, again, I hope I'm wrong.
@@loreofmetalenthusiast then sorry for misunderstanding then! My bad.
If you look at other screenshots of Taash (I show some in my video) you see that she looks quite nice. The shoot in the trailer was a quick action sequence and nothing else. Of course that quick shot wasn't gonna look great. I do think you should look at some of the screenshots of her and the main party shoot of all the DAV companions.
I hate the new art style, it makes the experience way less immersive for me. But the worst are not the companions but the enemies, they look funny more than threatening.
I think they look good. The only enemy I think that looks bad is the ogre. Otherwise I think the game looks good.
@Knight1029
I don’t like the inconsistency between games. It shouldn’t take 4 games to determine an art and enemy style. They should have just stuck to the inquisition designs and built on them. Looks like they went back to the ugly DA 2 stylistic look.
@@jamskinner I agree that it isn't good for Dragon Age to be so inconsistent. They should have stuck to a style. But they didn't. Which is an issue.
Compare the poster to trailer.
The quanari female was feminine slim sexy and was I and many other were hyped for her but after the trailer reveal?
Huge masculine jaw and forced pronun them/they. No thank you.
What? You do realize the poster qunari was a rouge? And that rouges in Dragon Age have always been slim? Which means since the qunari in the DAV trailer is a warrior she is gonna look more masculine? That just makes sense.
Also what? You got evidence for them being non-binary?
@@Knight1029 all rogues are slum xD you never played as dwarf then.
Evidence in WOKE DEI 2024 EA is plenty ebough, esspecially ir is confirmed you choise your pronoun in CC but illegal evidence are found in dark net dude/dudness with data miners, breachers or hackers taje your pick.
@daxxad6 What? What are you on about?
@@Knight1029no idea what that guy is on about 💀 but we found out after the voice actor reveal that Taash’s VA is nonbinary so there’s a possibility that Taash is as well. Only time will tell ig 🤷♂️
@@slurpy-f3k I guess? I just still feel like so much of these people saying they are non-binary is to hate on them and nothing else.
From what I know Tassh is a woman. If it isn't the case then I will change that.
I absolutely hate all their designs, honestly between their designs and the changes to the gameplay im probably not even going to play this game- and im speaking as someone whos played every single dragons age game and loved them
Then I am sorry you don't like them then. I like them a lot (though I would like a consistent gameplay style) but if you don't like it that's cool.
I think it's the worst character design so far in the Dragon Age series. They look too generic, the females look too masculine and androgynous. It's fine with one or two, but all of them?
What makes them look generic?
Masculine wtf do you mean
You have got to be a porn addict to think Neve looks masculine at all lmao
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍
What are you smoking i guess it's subjective but in my opinion they look like saints row npcs set in the medieval times lol
I don't know man I just don't see that.
Its not. Most of them are ugly.
I disagree.
We will have to see. I pre-ordered the pervious Dragon Age games (Big Fan), but this one I will hold out until at least a few hours of the game play is available on You Tube. DA Origins is my favorite game, enjoyed DA2 and 3. I hope it is just as good, but if its full of Sweet Baby inc (BS) ideology they can keep it. From the info I have so far it does not look like a game I will pay money for but I do hope I am wrong as I have been waiting 10 years for this game.
Well, DEI is strong here. BUT! The problem with woke products is not the woke implementation itself, but that it masks poor writing, poor acting, poor story and some low quality overall.
I do respect waiting until you see the reviews. Though I don't get the wokeness bit. It's not like it's more work than previous Dragon Age games.
@@evgeniytsarkov5679 yeah. Wokeness has nothing to do with it. If it's bad it just poor writing. As simply as that.
@@Knight1029 I wouldnt say that and im not a Origins only fan - They're definitely pandering by making a non binary Qunari, specifically giving us a black elf as the main character - and yes black elves have always been a thing in dragon age, an Asian elf girl, An Old man, And your traditional Regular hot guy in the group if this doesnt sound like they're trying to please everyone I dont think it can get any more obvious.
Im sure the game will be amazing but come on now I see what they're doing clear as day - Im a member of the discord group and I would have never even known that this was a dragon age group because of the Rainbow behind the Dragon like are we for real? I get people love the queerness in the series but that is not what it is all about.
@@TeaTimeTable is the Qunari non binary? I looked it up and it says that they are a woman. Could you provide evidence to them being non binary?
As for the rest of what you said; I don't get what you are trying to say. What I think when I see the DAV companions are designs that look like they tell a story.
I can somewhat agree that queerness the only thing, or main thing, Dragon Age is about. Its about a lot of different things. But I don't see people saying Dragon Age is only about, or mainly about, queerness. If there are those people I would disagree with them.
Not really. They feel copy pasted from inquisition and not at all unique nor interesting.
How exactly?
I also love really generic fantasy characetr designs!
DAO had pretty generic designs and they were fine.
i think the new designs are the worst in the series. they are boring and bland like skyrim npcs. the whole game looks like a generic aaa game. it looks like an ea title oh wait... it is. i miss the old boiware. get ready for another andromeda.
The Origin Armor design wasn’t anything unique as everyone wore the same armor, robes and clothing, making them feel like they’re not different at all.
Could you explain what makes it look bad?
@@samflood5631 yeah right? Like it was for a reason but if you are talking about generic then look no further than DAO. A game that looks generic on purpose.
@@samflood5631 not talking about the armor as much as I am the character design.
@@Knight1029 well if were talking just the character design i specifically dont like the skin textures (they look too dirty) the facial animations are at best weak and frankly none of them stand out to me at all. they seem homogenous and boring. they all look like just some guy and in a fantasy setting thats bad from a supporting cast.. now saying origins was similar in a way which is fair however that game came out what 20 years ago?
id say the difference is similar to mass effect 3 compared to two. the look of the characters is just different not just graphically but from a design standpoint. varric went from a charming rogue to a grizzly old man also he seems too tall and so does harding. they were way shorter in the last game i swear.
combine that with the trouble the studio has been through and i would not be surprised if things went full andromeda.
Hilarious. You need a real hobby
I do think I am funny.
I don't like the overall purple tint and dark look to the trailer.
That's cool. If you don't like it you don't like it. I can respect that.
I do hope they have areas in the game that add vibrancy and some warmth to the color palate.
@@alonsofavela5672 That would be nice. Contrasting the darker areas with the lighter areas would be good.
