  • Gaze upon the Dragon Age discourse. Gaze upon it and weep. Many people having no clue on what their talking about. Cries of "It looks bad!" and "Not Dragon Age!" abound. Yet none of that is true. So, join me as I talk about how wrong these anti-fans are.
    Here is the link to the video I went through: • Dragon Age Or Disney? ...

      At the end of the day, it's a big game, made by a big company, controlled by a larger company who doesn't truly care about the game or player base. Not like all this discourse is going to make EA go "Oop, you're all right. Hur, we made a mistake."
      This game was almost doomed to not be the greatest it could be the second EA put their dirty fingers all in it. Any disagreement is just wrong, since the game's identity has changed 3 times, and most people only know of 2

    If the trailer is not at all representative of the style, tone and characters of the game, then why release it? And while DA hasn't had the best trailers and trailers have overall been somewhat different from the actual game they still been close enough where they are representative of what we get in the game, all that to say there's no defending that goofy ahh Darkspawn.
    Also DA2 was literally the best DA game.

    First off, it is a complete mismatch in visuals and tone with comparison to the older games.
    Secondly, that ridiculous marvelesque opening...which is lighthearted vs the game's older tone which is gritty, heavy, dark and less uppity silly.
    3) Darkspawn and the Fade are no joke and they are depicted as such.
    A veiljumper really? Poor Tamlen got fucked but no special elf is a 'specialist'. Sorry it just takes away the danger. The stakes and doom of the place.
    And now Dwarves have magic? We are going against the lore now?
    4) There is something off on the designs of the trailer (particular the cunari the face is poorly proportioned) the nose is too big in the trailers and the upperlip too small. The ears on the black greywarden are just stuck on with glue, no proper positioning how they would line up with his face...this looks like a rush job and hopefully not be the final product in gameplay.
    Why origins fans are complaining?
    Well you tell a story and have build a certain setting with rules, you don't just take that palette and throw it against the wall just because you want to tick boxes.
    And you wanna say they don't have intricate lore? You go talk with Dirthgalen then.
    For the record, I don't give a flying f who develops it, I just want an immersive game and I don't dig bad comic vibe with in your face ticked boxes.
    Cause at this point the new Doom trailer looks more DA then the new DA!

    • @Knight1029
      @Knight1029  3 месяца назад +3

      I don't know my guy. Look at in game DAO and compare it to the DAV trailer. The models look similar. Its not bad or not in line with the other games. Its fine.
      And as per this video and the one before it I agreed characters like the Veil Jumper were odd. If they exist their needs to be an explanation on why they can casual just move between the real world and the Veil.
      As for the dwarves being able to do magic; there are explanations for that like the Titans. And also it was clear in Dragon Age that the dwarves being resistant to magic has its expectations. Like our dwarf warden dreaming in the Fade. All they have to do is explain it. Its not against lore that dwarves have some element of magic. If they explain it poorly then its bad.
      The designs look good. Not much to say about it.
      DAO fans are still mad that they fooled themselves into thinking the game was something it isn't. DAO is the way it is for a reason. Not because it was just a thing to do.
      What? I don't think I said plagues don't exist. I just said I don't remember plagues being a plot point in the games. Also do you really think the guy I responded to, who he himself said isn't a lore guy, meant Blight?

    • @djokealtena2538
      @djokealtena2538 3 месяца назад +4

      Are you kidding, with all due respect, but the facial features in DAO to DAI have always been more realistic in proportion, symmetrically sound. This looks like a rush job, hence the cartoony vibe.
      If that is your schtick fine, but for me it is important. I want proper lined up stuff, not a weekend rush job, ah we'll stick the ears on with glue and they won't notice it kind of deal.
      The Dwarves are cut off of the Titans, so unless you pull a mysterious foundling like Sandal they can't do magic. They indeed need to address these new changes then without breaking the existent lore.
      The Eluvians, Darkspawn and the Fade/Veil have always been dangerous and not something to joke about. The trailer does them serious injustice and could have made her character so much more impressive they depicted her doing this differently, building up the threat that is still there and building up her character as knowledgable and formidable, instead we get a jokey oops I did almost make it.
      Also, this is purely the fault of the trailer but...
      The characters are easily replacable with other characters, there is little personality jumping off the screen there save for maybe one or two. The blank eyed stare is back, sadly. Nothing of their own personality really shown as a taste.
      Just the typical team labeling.
      This is the Nerd, this is the Brawn, this is the useless and probably remains on camp the entire time character....
      Another missed opportunity there. This game is supposedly the final hope for Bioware, so they need this to succeed. Again I do nor know whether it is the marketing departement being morons, but this trailer does nothing to bring in the old gamers who want the game and who have the money to buy it nor does it really entice the younger audience since it looks like a dime a dozen mobile game...and those are usually free.

      I know. Now hear me out. What if... Some dwarves were reunited again. Now this isn't me saying that is happening. Just me saying that the statement "Dwarves can't have magic" just isn't true. I will agree with you if they do it poorly or give no explanation at all.
      And as I said in my comment I agree. The Veil is dangerous and as Dragon Age shows. But the Veil jumper just feels off. I would rather it be not done in such a goofy way.
      My guy its a trailer. The DAO trailer that has Sten, Morrigan and Leliana show nothing about them. The most it does is show Morrigan is a snarky. But like... That's not her character. I think assuming they are replaceable is looking for problems where there is none.
      Why the trailer is the way it is, is because EA doesn't understand Dragon Age. Mark Darrah (former Dragon Age executive producer) said as much. EA only knows how to do sports and FPS trailers. Not RPGs really.

    Have to disagree on this. The cartoonish look is like a shock to fans who were shown a dark tone setting yes the trailers may not look like the game but it still represents the game. Imagine someone hopscotching out of the veil. The silly weird jokes and marvel tone. Bro no way in hell something gets downvoted that hard and there’s no truth to it. This ain’t about BioWare. They set the game a certain way then it turned weird. The dark spawn looks silly and cartoonish. One character is 1v1ing a dragon. Whole trailer looks like a joke. But one thing I’ll agree with is let’s wait for gameplay. And I played all three dragon ages and liked them for different reasons but this I’m not liking the look of so far.

      @Knight1029 I don't see a problem with either style, but it feels disingenuous to ever compare the two graphically. A better comparison would've been comparing to da2 with its insane development cycle- and even then on an older engine the visuals should still not be comparable.
      All this trailer looked like was an AI upscale old engine demo. But I don't see why it looks that way since what I saw looked different in game. If they would have made the trailer in game like they did for Dai it wouldn't have got nearly the backlash.
      And I think arguments about visuals for a game that hasn't even shown the general viewers THE game yet is wack.
      Will I still play it? Of course
      Will I love it? Most likely
      Will I pay attention to all the ranting and raving of critics and people having strange opinions? No, because it doesn't affect me
