It's really weird so we all think the veil guard is crap. But then you go on to talk about a game that nobody cares about. Does anybody actually care what it even happens in the game.
Her entire little "coming out" scene as non binary was stupid at its very concept. The idea of either being binary, or non binary is in itself a binary. You either are or arent. It's literally a self defeating oxymoron.
It’s about exerting power over other people. They want to be elevated by virtue of their identity, demeaning those who don’t follow the ideology, and refusing to give the same concessions they demand to have for themselves.
It's not stupid. It's a 1 to 1 of how these people are in real life. Speedrunning victimising themselves while turning everyone else onto their victims. Pathetic. MAGA = Make Asylums Great Again. They/them are mentally ill...
@@sungrandstudios HOLY! What are the chances?! I just recently found and subbed to your channel because of your DA vids. I wish the so called AAA studios just hired professionals like you. Gamers would be happy and the CEOs would have fatter bank accounts. Everyone wins.
Man, look how beautiful Liara was. She is of a monogendered species were some were more femenine and others more masculine (Aria, chief of security, mercenaries, etc), but all of them gorgeous. And we didn't get to see Liara in a dress until the 2nd game's DLC. She didn't have the need to wear a dress to embrace her femeninity. Her relationship with Shepard, wether as lovers or just friends, was always beautiful because they had the same goal in common: To stop the danger they were facing at the moment. That was the main focus, not "My mum nags me about dresses" "Im feeling down so we have to have a group therapy session" "Gotta invite my mum to dinner just to be rude to her while she actually tries to listen to me". They focus at ehst they have to do while also having mature conversations with their lover and friends, while actually behaving like a responsible team. Bioware is lost. They will never write story and characters as beautiful as Mass Effect trilogy and Dragon Age Origins as long as they stubbornly keep these unprofessional whiny victimists who are more focused in self-inserts than actually doing a good job.
I think they were actually trying to recapture the feel of ME2, which, let's face it, is essentially a series of quests where you recruit people and then resolve their personal issues so they can focus on the task at hand. The big differences are that a) ME2 was much better written so you actually WANTED to help resolve their personal issues, which quite often involved doing something that was objectively worth doing anyway, like stopping a serial killing space vampire or rescuing some marooned colonists or whatever and b) the game was structured so you were waiting for the Illusive Man to come through with information whilst you did all this stuff, so you didn't feel like you were off doing trivial shit whilst the world burned around you.
@@NicCrane iI was talking about the trilogy. Allmost all the human models in Andromeda looked odd (so as the face textures). Peebee face model isn't bad, bjt the texture wasnt flattering, snd the rest lf the asari shared the same weird face model with different textures, but they didnt look as good cause you cojld tell they all had the same face. I was talking exclusively about trilogy causd mamy racaes had different models and textures and they still looked amazing.
@@Elixir6336 Yeah, agreed. They were pretty and alluring and hyper intellectual in the trilogy. In Andromeda they were just a copy/paste as you say, and the first one I saw on Kadara literally told me to "fuck off" which I thought was super un-Asari and immersion breaking. That game shouldn't carry the ME brand at all IMO, nor should anything else current bioware are working on. Mass Effect is three games. That's it. The end. Everything else should just be ignored by the audience.
I remember that during ME2's development, BW tried to make a romance between FemShep and Tali, but didn't because Tali's VA was too uncomfortable with her lines for it.
Men Tali romance just doesn't make sense though for either genders. Quarians as a whole needs to be in quarantine suit all time because they lost their natural immunity being in their ship secluded. How you guys even fuck her without her dying infection or something ? Even gaider got surprised how much the player base wanted to romance her.
Jeez, that was 2010? Ah I see, EA bought Bioware in 2009. Stock went from $47 to $15. I looked for a split to explain it, but there was none. I would've enforced the contract on Tali. Was this also around the time they started babying college students and gave em safespaces and crayons?
Veilguard is a multimillion dollar lecture and therapy session by people who don't respect games or gamers. If they double down they can lose their jobs faster.
One can only hope. Hopefully, maybe the money men in charge will realize that woke is not good for their bottom lines and reject it. And then hire writers that aren't woke and go back to making actual games again!
As a huge Mass Effect fan. I'm terrified about Mass Effect 5. I have absolutely no faith in Bioware to deliver a quality experience without beating me over the head about how I'm a terrible person because I'm straight white male. I understand that Mass Effect has elements of inclusivity in it. But I never had any issues with that back then. Take Cortez from ME3 for example. I actually liked him as a character. He's gay, but the game doesn't make his whole personality about being gay. I thought that he had at least some depth to him. I like his banter with James. Plus If you want to you can romance him.
@G3th63 - I'm not terrified as such. I'm simply accepting that it will be a shitshow, with the appraoch like in Dragon Age Veilguard. It is simply that the game market is switching to that kind of appraoch, or at least some of the main games/publishers. As a fan of original trilogy, I also accept that I won't see game like that, with story lines, like the original ME. Simply becaue modern writers are diffeent, different background, education - with all modern bias. Hence "Im feeling down so we have to have a group therapy session" or "Gotta invite my mum to dinner just to be rude to her while she actually tries to listen to me". If you ever worked in modern academia, at some of the modern large Universities - the above wouldn't shock you that much. Personally I'm suprised it took that "long" for that kind of appraoch/language/writing get to the modern gaming. I was expecting that to be happening at least 7-8 years ago, based on my experience with some of the large Universities and "modern" education in general, but now... I'm not longer surprised.
I liked garus he was my go to for the entire series. Mass effect was my favorite space game. I don't want to see them ruin the game I fell in love with😢😢
@@tannhauser5399 They entered game development back then. The games take several years to make. You see how the games have changed in the past 3 years? That's the result.
fortunately all this leftist woke shit isn't really present in Poland also. I pity the mentally normal Americans for having to deal with these gender psychos
It’s not, it’s a different team. Different writers, different narrative lead. Different department heads. To be fair Mary DeMarle is a great win as a narrative lead. She did an amazing job with Deus Ex and Guardians of the Galaxy.
@@KeytarArgonianBye-oware confirmed the Wokeguard team is moving to work on Mass Effect to get it completed hence no DLCs for Wokeguard So no, you're not correct, the team that works for ME is not different from the team that worked on Wokeguard
You and a million other commenter's who copied and pasted the same joke. It was funny the first time, now it just seems like a magician pulling the rabbit out of his hat for the 10th time in a row 😂
"Dragon Age: The Veilguard made me feel seen as a trans player" Don't see me crying and complaining about not getting a single representation of Bulgarians in a single game for the past 25 years.
That is because they downgraded every female character who came from previous games. Compare Isabella from DA2 to DAV and you will see that she is both more manly and smaller in the chest armor.
And even then they’ll bitch as victims. You had the opportunity of a lifetime to tell a cohesive story however you want and you still fucked it up somehow. You had an entire platform set for you, lore and workers ready for utilization and you still fucked that up
Concord literally refunded everyone and shut down. You know what Sony did? Rewarded their $400 million failure by hiring some of the devs into other studios. Going bankrupt isn't teaching them anything either. They will beat us over the head with this shit until gaming dies all together The problem is the people who made the games and series we've loved for years and decades are all gone and replaces by activists who want to push their politics and beliefs 1000x more than they want to make a good game
Learn what? It's not the wokeness that people take issue with. BG3 is universally recognized as the game of the decade and it's woke af. It's the shitty writing that DAV is dealing with. Bioware isn't going to suddenly learn how to become better writers.
@@ademirc5937 nah wokeness turns everything shit. Tash is the emblem of wokeness and she is just the most insufferable character ever. BG3 was a good game despite the wokeness not because of it. Stop with the copium.
gaming is never being taken back, they'll always be these parasites in power enforcing tehir will, grabbing franhises, holding onto them like a spoiled toddler and lashing out in petulant rage and they'll teach others to do the same and they'll FORCEyou to hire other parasites in your company or it's "hate speech". gaming is done.
They're still at the beginning phase, like most of the activist freaks... Denial. The unfortunate part is a large portion of these people never actually move on past anger. They just get stuck in a vicious cycle of denial, anger, then more denial.
"Her existence isn't optional just like IRL" I'm sorry, what? Last time I checked I have free will. It is completely up to me who I befriend and hang out with, and I would DEFINITRLY not make friends with Taash. Her existence in my life is optional. I would not tolerate anyone treating my other friends like she does. Thankfully, these people are so rare that I am yrt to meet one IRL in my 35 years of living. I think I saw one man dressed as a woman once in my entire life on the street somewhere.
Well, that, and it is completely up to us as people who we choose to acknowledge and understand. Which these people obviously don't. NGL, this is why I quit playing the Sims; the official Sims Twitter went on a rant that sexuality in the game shouldn't be optional because it's not optional to ignore the Alphabet Soup Group.
My niece was trans for about 18 months. She detransitioned on her own given space and time. She admitted she was just uncomfortable with her body, left school, works has a boyfriend. She regretted it because she cut her hair short for her prom. She asked her dad why he let her do it. But to be fair, I think he had to. If he had been too harsh she’d have gone further through spite and rebellion. Gotta give them an option to come back. I’ll add it’s pretty funny because she was actually made ‘head boy’ but detransitioned before finishing school.
Yep if I met someone like that IRL I would run away so fast it wouldn't be able to identify itself. If you're not a man or a woman than you're not human so you're IT.
Let's face it Comparing Garrus to Taash is like comparing a 5 star meal to the synthetic krabby patty. It'd be more favorable to compare Taash to Javik. And that's still an insult, To Javik.
Javik is an asshole, but the game knows it and he's a funny asshole. He also has some of the hardest lines in the entire franchise. No way can you compare this awful mary sue to him.
So I was at gamestop just a bit ago. Listened to the openly gay employee I've known since high school bash how horrible Veilguard is. Wasn't expecting that.
OMG gay people are also people, go figure. Being gay doesn't mean they're automatically an activist or woke. They're attracted to the same sex and maybe have some characteristics, but otherwise they're as fed up with this shit as most of us.
They’re already attacking black and Hispanic people for Trump’s victory (regardless of how they voted) and it’s such a widespread campaign to trash them - I PROMISE AT LEAST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE AMONG THEM sending this sort of racist shit. They
The day of 2am that Trump won, I ordered a Leftist Tears mug from amazon to celebrate. It arrives today alongside my the last of my new 4080 ryzen 7800x3d pc parts. What a week to be alive.
Amazon absolutely *butchered* Tolkien's stories & filled with the usual DEI nonsense to boot. They will do the same with Mass Effect & as far as I am concerned, ME has long been buried.
What i found out is that the game doesn't even understand how to change power balance to have it make sense that you can win... Varric says very early on that if you confront Solas in a straight up fight, you are just dead, it's not even a question to him. Later on, Solas says the same thing about him confronting the two gods: He had no chance in a straight up fight, and needed trickery to even be able to stop them! But outside of killing Elgar'nans dragon to make him mortal, we are still the basic scrubs we were when the game began! Sure, we have the dagger to kill gods, but we still confront an even more powerful Elgar'nan at the end, and just fight him like any other basic boss... Nothing actually changes about the balance of power at the end, but we have no trouble killing a god that even Solas couldn't fight, and we were told we couldn't even beat Solas to begin with! So i guess Varric and Solas were just flat out wrong, and we could have easily killed the gods, since we already had the lyrium dagger the entire time, which was the only change in power balance you get in the entire game.
Origins did this right. You have no hope of fighting the Archdemon. You're two Grey Wardens, an apostate and maybe a mabari. So, what do you do? Bolster your numbers with a literal army. It still needs to be either you or Alistair that strikes the killing blow, but you end up bringing mages, templars, dwarves, dalish elves, werewolves and the armies of Ferelden to assist you in the final fight, not to mention the other companions you collect throughout the storyline. You're still the same generic scrub, but you now have the numbers to actually stand a chance against the Blight and kill the Archdemon. Veilguard... Well, you already explained it. As fun as it is to beat a dead horse, there's nothing more to add.
@@mortemtyrannus8813 "You're two Grey Wardens, an apostate and maybe a mabari.". Yes; I really like that beginning. You're down and out, and you HAVE TO pull yourself up by the bootstraps, if there is to be any hope to survive this.
I spent full price on the game, hoping that maybe it wasn’t that bad, I’ve just got to the part where you gotta stop everything you are doing and go on companion quests, I really do not give a single fuck about most of the companions, I cannot keep playing this game, it really sucked the life out of me.
"that growl during her "romance" scene was pure SA". Yes...and I cannot help but compare that to BG3's Karlach (and to a lesser degree Halsin), who are also physically imposing, but never feel that way either of them.
Since the games are being ruined now, the adaptations of these awesome games are going to be terrible. Amazon is finding a way to ruin the things that we love growing up playing.
Is it any surprise? Video game movies have always sucked until the last 10 years. And when they started becoming good, the trash got involved and made it bad again then wonder why they can’t seem to make things sell.
It's the agenda for social control, Payton. Fomenting chaos is essential to disrupt and demoralize us as a society. What better way than corrupting our culture? Music, movies, games, books, everything.
Sabre interactive are doing KoTR remake, I trust them not to fuck that up. But I'm also sceptical of any remake at this point. The wallet stays closed till I'm 100% sure it's not dei dogshit.
This take is bizarre to me because BG3 is woke af but is universally considered game of the generation. I don't think it's the woke aspect that it is the issue, it's that the writing is dog water.
@@ademirc5937BG3 doesn't force it down your throat. In fact, in BG3 you can kill the woke companions and/or be downright mean to them. If you wanna be a woke character in BG3, you can though, because it's an RPG and you're allowed to roleplay in it
Finished Veilguard and Taash died in the playthrough , prolly the only way possible that she died was because after the recruitment mission , never talked to her again and didn't do her companion questline
I got a 13 week steam ban by saying on a steam forum that "BG3 did woke far better than Vileguard you could kill anyone, and you could even imprison the immortal lesbian"
@@teehee8522 If you received a series of bans, over the course of years, that were unjustified because of bias or double standards. Compile the evidence, and fill out a form to message your state's Attorney General. They have been violating consumer rights and we get enough voices out there calling on them being investigated there will be a class action lawsuit over this.
Games (and Shows) like BG3 are the _real_ danger. I know Endymion tries to cope (or obscure?) by saying, 'It's your Choice', but the fact is, this Cultural Marxist Ideology is MIND-CANCER. Even the term, 'Woke' hides and obscures the truth, it's a vague buzzword that can be redifined any way one wants. However, the specific Ideology at play is a very particular thing. Cultural Marxism teaches that everything is a Social Construct, Objective Reality does not exist and Feelings create reality. A Society cannot FUNCTION with this nonsensical worldview & we have been seeing that proven over the last decade. BG3, despite being well-made and entertaining is obviously helping to normalize this nonsense.
Well what is your take on BG3? That game is woke af and is universally considered game of the generation. It's not the wokeness that is the issue, it's the shitty writing.
@@ademirc5937 True, games like BG3 and Disco Elysium are as woke as woke gets, but they are so well crafted that the woke stuff is just peanuts. You roll your eyes and move on. Veilguard is modern day brain rot packaged in a fantasy wrapper.
I finally realized why all this hatred for one character felt so familiar lol. Bioware wants Tash to be their fan favorite, but he/she is actually their "Ava from Borderlands 3"
That’s an interesting point. What sucks for the Ava situation though was cut content that would’ve helped immensely. But there’s no saving Taash. Even if they were man or woman. Whatever. They would still be insufferable because they demand respect but never once give it to others. I saw what I guess was the beginning of the love scene for Taash and if a man was in their place? Everyone would tear this game apart. It felt violating coupled with god awful writing. Meanwhile Zevran; a hoe in canon made no move until he had your implicit consent.
@@ichigokage I've seen the cut content, it would not have helped. Her character is far too annoying, has zero self awareness, and Gearbox wrote her with main character syndrome
I really doubt a Mass Effect show is even going to have Shepard, Wrex, Liara, or Garrus in it. That story has already been told, and every fan of ME has already experienced that story in a level of depth no show could match. I expect they'll introduce all new characters and likely focus on a story of these different characters and what they're doing before/during the early days of Shepard's adventures. Or they'll focus on Shepard as they're becoming a N7 officer and their early career.
Hearing how the blue haired writer shared those posts about people that voted for trump being white supremecists has completely turned me from Bioware until they get rid of that guy.
I honestly dont like the implications that Biowares writers made the least likable, least tolerant and most abrasive character... nonbinary... why? That feels almost mean spirited of them.
I have dreamed of a ME5 and Shepard for years. After this, I refuse to buy ME when it comes out until reviewed by very trusted sources. After this DAO trash, I don't care if BioWare goes out of business. It's not my BioWare, these people are not the ones that made such amazing games.
One of the best thing in Baldur's Gate 1, and 2 is that nobody is essential. The only person who's death will end the story is the main character. It is also one of the best feature of New Vegas. You don't want to be the grand hero who tolerate everyone? Then don't! You don't want to work with an annoying character? Kick him/her out of the party. Or even kill them. Dragon Age: Origins also went into this direction quite well. Many companions can be made so mad, that they leave, or refuse their join, or just tell them to leave.
Shale the golem’s story wasn’t even about gender but she is shocked to find out she was a woman drawf when she was alive, how is a character that was added AFTERWARDS is still more thought out and interacts with the story more like with carriden and his anvil and the creation of golems more in line with the story?! How!? These writers are lunatics!
Shale was - and is - a fun character to play. A huge sarchastic stone guy/girl - what's not to like 🙂 Not among my personal DA:O favorites (I seem to almost always end up with some kind of Wynne/Alistair/Sten/Leliana combo, with the "extra dog slot" on top of it...) for my parties there, but definately fun in a couple of playthrus.
Interesting. In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous there is a threat over the world as well: the Worldwound, the rift between dimensions through which demons come to the world of mortals. And the main hero - the Lord Commander - is the one who should do something about that. And all of it is quite serious, and even time gated at some points; if a player is distracted by side quests, the main quest becomes much worse. However, there are lighter elements there, too, but they are tightly interwoven into the story. A companion has a crush on the Commander, and brings buckets of flowers to the conference room. A trusted lieutenant wants to wed the love of his life while he is still not killed, and the party goes camping, with the wedding feast prepared in the field. It does not end very well, but still. All of it can be done. Jokes and lighthearted distractions can be added naturally to a serious and dark setting. However, there need to be talented writers to do that.
What makes me so irritated is that these games were already diverse and accepting the fans already were now they're ruined it by forgetting character and story and tarnishing the diversity that was there.
That's true, but it's not a 2 day camp trip. Having your team get drunk at the bar for a break from death and killing isn't the same as planning a camp trip
Great speech at the end there. I feel the same, A TRUE fan of a game will criticise it hard for where it's going wrong, not appease it. That's what I do and I've suffered by being banned multiple times off Steam by the mostly woke Mods there.
One can only pray that Bioware is forced to close before ME4 is released. I do not want to see Liara Uglified. I do not want to see more Asari like the one from Andromeda. I refuse to bother to relearn her name, she was a boring character and a below mid one for looks
@bazzzzz6175 bellara’s character bothers me from the few clips I’ve seen. Her being a favorite of that one person made my skin crawl. Her character appears like someone who’s been forced to be positive and defend her abusive partner when they’ve been abused or humiliated in public. 🤢 it’s so unnatural.
Gamers need to start being Non-Buy-Nary for all AAA games. Never buy day one. Wait till at least a few weeks to a month to see if the game is worth buying after the hype dies off, if the devs pulled a bait and switch and if the game's content is not crammed with current dayism.
From everything that had happened I hope and wish,pray for them to go completely bankrupt with no return for someone else to buy mass effect title and work on it elsewhere. unironically it’s better that way.
@@GamingTalk-cl7xj since they sent the microcephalic troglodytes who made Veilguard to work on ME5, it will be dead on arrival, and BIoware will be shut down by EA.
And guess what's going to happen when they attempt Mass Effect again. The same thing as Veilguard, and they will be shocked and appalled that it fell faster than the shuttle that Wrex elbow dropped.
22:40 >> Bad message! "iNseRt WOkE aLL yOu wAnT bUt mAKe iT pLayEr cHoiCe". I reject this! Don't put any woke stuff in anything! don't acknowledge their existence and don't cater whatever small portion of your game to them!
I agree. And bg3 has plenty of unavoidable wokeness in it. I like the game. But Endymion has a blind spot on this subject. But I digress. The community is wildly overrepresented. Has been for years already and it's time to dial it back a bit. This doesn't mean denying the existence of LGBT people. But it's about realistic proportionality. And that's only something worth talking about if the media in question is meant to exist in the real world in some way. Fantasy worlds shouldn't have any real life politics in them whatsoever. But whatever. They keep making games and movies for this tiny minority and guess what. The tiny minority is showing up. But they aren't enough to actually make a product profitable. So enjoy losing money you hacks. I enjoy seeing it.
The fact that all the time i spent making the perfect history for this game by doing specific things in the previous 3 games being thrown away also pisses me off. Did everything in game instead of using the keep.
Seeing this brings tears to my eyes both tears of happiness and sadness. I just hope the IP drops to a more capable team in the future and that they just reboot the entire IP and bring it back to DA: Origins level of quality.
This game is going "backwards" in sales numbers. At one point it was at almost 900k sold on steam to 550k as I just check before dropping a comment. The massive number of returns is absolutely staggering.
It’s crazy that something like this was ever greenlit. The audience is literally less than 1% of the entire population of the US. That TAM and SAM economically make zero sense.
I will never touch Dragon Age: Veilguard. Currently playing Scarface: The World Is Yours on PS2. No wokeness in that. Modern gaming is less about fun. More about sensitivity.
Modern gaming is still very much alive and awesome, just stop being stuck on these fruitcake DEI games. Play Helldivers, Space Marines, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate, Black Myth Wukong, Monster Hunter Wilds is coming soon and there are many more games like that!
I now wish they wouldn’t make another mass effect game. I love the series and after seeing what they’ve done to dragon age I would much rather they let the series end with the legendary edition
lol 20$ is 20$ more than I'm willing to pay for this garbage. I'm not even interested in pirating it, not worth the time wasted, not a good game by itself not to mention for a Dragon age, for me Dragon age is dead.
At this point, Mass Effect is the Indiana Jones of video game franchises: 3 classic instalments, followed by an inferior and unwanted fourth installment years later, followed by an abysmal and almost universally loathed fifth instalment years after that.
Beyond all the obvious problems with the game...my biggest issue is that your team mates don't matter. Every enemy targets you off the bat like there arn't two other combatants.
I'm Czech and this is kinda fake news. Czech version of Mass Effect is not dropping any pronouns. They shut the guy out from the forum, closed it and his superiors commented that they are pro-DEI. Please, report the full story. Don't get excited for something that isn't happening.
At this point. I can only say this. As someone who had to watch the dragon age series go up in flames... here is where i'm at. 🎶 We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the woke's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we see them burnin'🎶
It is hard to get past the Pixar/Fortnite character design. The dialogue animation looks like it came from a game from 10 years ago. Main character dialogue choices are in almost every instance: Yes, Yes(supposed to be funn) or Yes(stern). This game is both undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Sad.
I really hate the over the top attack moves,especially attack moves for the warrior and rogue class. And how they turn the grey wardens into weak idiots.
I guess they kind of forgot that Dwarves have no connection to the fade, and cannot use magic. Not gonna lie, but I cannot wait to hear the screams when a mod beautifies Taash and puts her in a slave girl outfit...
@@piranhapout I mean the closest DA has ever had was Sandal, and he was just a savant in regards to making runes. Then in DAI, they brought back a character from DA2, Dagna. But NONE OF THEM could do magic, hell even Dagna studied at the circle , and clearly stated in DAI, dwarves cannot access the fade or do magic.
Can we as a community just take over the game industry like how these woke activists did and once one of us gets to a certain point in it we can just replace all of them with actual fans and passionate and actual creative people who has lots of skill for story telling and programming!
I didnt finish it but here are my notes: 1- why make me choose a name when they are calling me rook all time 2- WHY a new character when it should have been my inquisitor 3- This game didnt need new characters.. should have been almost Inquisition part 2. Solas betrayed the inquisition, is the chasing of him, i wanted to play my same party looking for Solas, with some new side story that comes together, idk, something. Imagine if in The Lord of the rings, after the ending events of the fellowship of the ring, the two towers starts with them destroying the ring in the first 20 minutes, now we got a new story with lobelia sackville and Vigo Boffin. 4- If i wanted to play a soulslike game, i'd play darksouls 5- Why make me set my "world" as how it ended in inquisition, if then it wont matter at all 6- If you are not giving me my inqisuitor, at least my warden or my champion from DA2 should have finished the job, not a new random boring character. 7- God i hate the non-binary quinari that goes against the entire lore of her race. 8- where is Leliana? she has been in all and i didnt see any video of her yet.... game could have been named the adventures of Varric and Leliana, since they have been main characters in all games, but where is she now (i dont remember her dying in the 3rd, i have nt played in many years so i could be wrong and she had some bad ending) 9- again, i waited FOR YEARS to finish the Solas story, i was so hyped... why change everything. now i am angry so i'll play again the game of the years, Persona 3 reload.
I hope they sell it to Larian, Obsidian, or inExile and they bring it back to DA:O. I'd pay $100 for DA:O/Awakening remade with modern graphics. Then for each sequal with importable saves, that actually take your choices from the previous ones.
Thank you for watching! I'm getting close to the end game of Veilguard. The only characters I think are somewhat good are Harding, Neve is okay & Davrin is growing on me. The rest? Nah. God I yearn for Origins & Inquisition again

Thank you for playing this game so we don’t have to. 👍🏻😊
This guy is going crazy because of a game made by gays for gays......why give so much attention to an insignificant game?
It's really weird so we all think the veil guard is crap. But then you go on to talk about a game that nobody cares about. Does anybody actually care what it even happens in the game.
@@bustabustsI care. This game may well mean the demise of BioWare. Or worse, it will lead to the ruination of Mass Effect and Shepards legacy.
The irony of Taash refusing to call another companion what they identify as but wanting to be referred to as non binary is beyond stupid.
Typical of people who are condescending
A perfect demonstration that woke is not tolerance it's dictatorship.
Her entire little "coming out" scene as non binary was stupid at its very concept. The idea of either being binary, or non binary is in itself a binary. You either are or arent. It's literally a self defeating oxymoron.
It’s about exerting power over other people. They want to be elevated by virtue of their identity, demeaning those who don’t follow the ideology, and refusing to give the same concessions they demand to have for themselves.
It's not stupid. It's a 1 to 1 of how these people are in real life. Speedrunning victimising themselves while turning everyone else onto their victims. Pathetic.

Man, look how beautiful Liara was. She is of a monogendered species were some were more femenine and others more masculine (Aria, chief of security, mercenaries, etc), but all of them gorgeous. And we didn't get to see Liara in a dress until the 2nd game's DLC. She didn't have the need to wear a dress to embrace her femeninity. Her relationship with Shepard, wether as lovers or just friends, was always beautiful because they had the same goal in common: To stop the danger they were facing at the moment. That was the main focus, not "My mum nags me about dresses" "Im feeling down so we have to have a group therapy session" "Gotta invite my mum to dinner just to be rude to her while she actually tries to listen to me". They focus at ehst they have to do while also having mature conversations with their lover and friends, while actually behaving like a responsible team.
Bioware is lost. They will never write story and characters as beautiful as Mass Effect trilogy and Dragon Age Origins as long as they stubbornly keep these unprofessional whiny victimists who are more focused in self-inserts than actually doing a good job.
Not to mention that all Asari are essentially bisexual or lesbian. But their species or the individual’s sexuality wasn’t bashed over our heads.
I agree with 99% of what you're saying, but ALL Asari weren't gorgeous. Remember PeeBee; the lovechild of Shrek and Grimace (lol)
I think they were actually trying to recapture the feel of ME2, which, let's face it, is essentially a series of quests where you recruit people and then resolve their personal issues so they can focus on the task at hand.
The big differences are that
a) ME2 was much better written so you actually WANTED to help resolve their personal issues, which quite often involved doing something that was objectively worth doing anyway, like stopping a serial killing space vampire or rescuing some marooned colonists or whatever and
b) the game was structured so you were waiting for the Illusive Man to come through with information whilst you did all this stuff, so you didn't feel like you were off doing trivial shit whilst the world burned around you.
@@NicCrane iI was talking about the trilogy. Allmost all the human models in Andromeda looked odd (so as the face textures). Peebee face model isn't bad, bjt the texture wasnt flattering, snd the rest lf the asari shared the same weird face model with different textures, but they didnt look as good cause you cojld tell they all had the same face.
I was talking exclusively about trilogy causd mamy racaes had different models and textures and they still looked amazing.
@@Elixir6336 Yeah, agreed. They were pretty and alluring and hyper intellectual in the trilogy. In Andromeda they were just a copy/paste as you say, and the first one I saw on Kadara literally told me to "fuck off" which I thought was super un-Asari and immersion breaking.
That game shouldn't carry the ME brand at all IMO, nor should anything else current bioware are working on.
Mass Effect is three games. That's it. The end. Everything else should just be ignored by the audience.
I remember that during ME2's development, BW tried to make a romance between FemShep and Tali, but didn't because Tali's VA was too uncomfortable with her lines for it.
Ahaha that kinda fits her actual character.
That is kinda sad as it would’ve been cute. But at least we got Garrus for femShep.
Men Tali romance just doesn't make sense though for either genders. Quarians as a whole needs to be in quarantine suit all time because they lost their natural immunity being in their ship secluded. How you guys even fuck her without her dying infection or something ? Even gaider got surprised how much the player base wanted to romance her.
@@ichigokageand thane...
Jeez, that was 2010? Ah I see, EA bought Bioware in 2009. Stock went from $47 to $15. I looked for a split to explain it, but there was none. I would've enforced the contract on Tali. Was this also around the time they started babying college students and gave em safespaces and crayons?

As a huge Mass Effect fan. I'm terrified about Mass Effect 5. I have absolutely no faith in Bioware to deliver a quality experience without beating me over the head about how I'm a terrible person because I'm straight white male. I understand that Mass Effect has elements of inclusivity in it. But I never had any issues with that back then. Take Cortez from ME3 for example. I actually liked him as a character. He's gay, but the game doesn't make his whole personality about being gay. I thought that he had at least some depth to him. I like his banter with James. Plus If you want to you can romance him.
Yeah man. If they ruin it with this non-binary nonsense bs, I'm going to be fuming 😂😂
Also a mass effect fan. but I know i'm not gonna buy Mass Effect 5. Probably be still playing space marine 2.
@G3th63 - I'm not terrified as such. I'm simply accepting that it will be a shitshow, with the appraoch like in Dragon Age Veilguard. It is simply that the game market is switching to that kind of appraoch, or at least some of the main games/publishers.
As a fan of original trilogy, I also accept that I won't see game like that, with story lines, like the original ME. Simply becaue modern writers are diffeent, different background, education - with all modern bias. Hence "Im feeling down so we have to have a group therapy session" or "Gotta invite my mum to dinner just to be rude to her while she actually tries to listen to me".
If you ever worked in modern academia, at some of the modern large Universities - the above wouldn't shock you that much. Personally I'm suprised it took that "long" for that kind of appraoch/language/writing get to the modern gaming. I was expecting that to be happening at least 7-8 years ago, based on my experience with some of the large Universities and "modern" education in general, but now... I'm not longer surprised.

Origins Morrigan was solid, Inquisition Morrigan looked great, but Veilguard completely missed the mark.
@@claraf.6833 Inquisition was bad. Not in line with Origins. Everything that made Origins great was missing in Inquisition.
That is because they downgraded every female character who came from previous games. Compare Isabella from DA2 to DAV and you will see that she is both more manly and smaller in the chest armor.
They downgraded every male character too. It was like they were making the weakest looking androgynous people.
I like the veiguard version of morrigan compared to inquisition. Her model is fine except for her outfit. But the part she plays in veilguard is dumb.

"Her existence isn't optional just like IRL"
I'm sorry, what? Last time I checked I have free will.
It is completely up to me who I befriend and hang out with, and I would DEFINITRLY not make friends with Taash.
Her existence in my life is optional. I would not tolerate anyone treating my other friends like she does.
Thankfully, these people are so rare that I am yrt to meet one IRL in my 35 years of living. I think I saw one man dressed as a woman once in my entire life on the street somewhere.
Well, that, and it is completely up to us as people who we choose to acknowledge and understand.
Which these people obviously don't. NGL, this is why I quit playing the Sims; the official Sims Twitter went on a rant that sexuality in the game shouldn't be optional because it's not optional to ignore the Alphabet Soup Group.
You were lucky. Either that or there's been a nosering sale on Amazon.
You know what's also not optional? Making people accept this anti reality garbage.
My niece was trans for about 18 months. She detransitioned on her own given space and time. She admitted she was just uncomfortable with her body, left school, works has a boyfriend. She regretted it because she cut her hair short for her prom. She asked her dad why he let her do it. But to be fair, I think he had to. If he had been too harsh she’d have gone further through spite and rebellion. Gotta give them an option to come back. I’ll add it’s pretty funny because she was actually made ‘head boy’ but detransitioned before finishing school.
Yep if I met someone like that IRL I would run away so fast it wouldn't be able to identify itself. If you're not a man or a woman than you're not human so you're IT.
Let's face it
Comparing Garrus to Taash is like comparing a 5 star meal to the synthetic krabby patty. It'd be more favorable to compare Taash to Javik. And that's still an insult, To Javik.
I hated Javik.
Never took him on any missions.
And I'd rather take three of him rather than one Taash.
I love javik. One of my favorites.
Javik at least was fun.
I'll never forget when he says to the Hanar the Protheans farmed then as a delicacy.
Javik is an asshole, but the game knows it and he's a funny asshole. He also has some of the hardest lines in the entire franchise. No way can you compare this awful mary sue to him.
Throw Taash out the airlock.
So I was at gamestop just a bit ago. Listened to the openly gay employee I've known since high school bash how horrible Veilguard is. Wasn't expecting that.
OMG gay people are also people, go figure. Being gay doesn't mean they're automatically an activist or woke. They're attracted to the same sex and maybe have some characteristics, but otherwise they're as fed up with this shit as most of us.

lmfao damn that took me longer then it should have
Amazon absolutely *butchered* Tolkien's stories & filled with the usual DEI nonsense to boot. They will do the same with Mass Effect & as far as I am concerned, ME has long been buried.
What i found out is that the game doesn't even understand how to change power balance to have it make sense that you can win...
Varric says very early on that if you confront Solas in a straight up fight, you are just dead, it's not even a question to him. Later on, Solas says the same thing about him confronting the two gods: He had no chance in a straight up fight, and needed trickery to even be able to stop them!
But outside of killing Elgar'nans dragon to make him mortal, we are still the basic scrubs we were when the game began! Sure, we have the dagger to kill gods, but we still confront an even more powerful Elgar'nan at the end, and just fight him like any other basic boss...
Nothing actually changes about the balance of power at the end, but we have no trouble killing a god that even Solas couldn't fight, and we were told we couldn't even beat Solas to begin with! So i guess Varric and Solas were just flat out wrong, and we could have easily killed the gods, since we already had the lyrium dagger the entire time, which was the only change in power balance you get in the entire game.
Origins did this right. You have no hope of fighting the Archdemon. You're two Grey Wardens, an apostate and maybe a mabari. So, what do you do? Bolster your numbers with a literal army. It still needs to be either you or Alistair that strikes the killing blow, but you end up bringing mages, templars, dwarves, dalish elves, werewolves and the armies of Ferelden to assist you in the final fight, not to mention the other companions you collect throughout the storyline. You're still the same generic scrub, but you now have the numbers to actually stand a chance against the Blight and kill the Archdemon.
Veilguard... Well, you already explained it. As fun as it is to beat a dead horse, there's nothing more to add.
@@mortemtyrannus8813 "You're two Grey Wardens, an apostate and maybe a mabari.".
Yes; I really like that beginning. You're down and out, and you HAVE TO pull yourself up by the bootstraps, if there is to be any hope to survive this.
I spent full price on the game, hoping that maybe it wasn’t that bad, I’ve just got to the part where you gotta stop everything you are doing and go on companion quests, I really do not give a single fuck about most of the companions, I cannot keep playing this game, it really sucked the life out of me.
Taash should be on an offenders list..that growl during her "romance" scene was pure SA
That neck licking stuff made me want to take a shower.

I can't see that scene without thinking that it was just the developers projecting their sexual desires and kinks onto the player. Pure freaks.
"that growl during her "romance" scene was pure SA".
Yes...and I cannot help but compare that to BG3's Karlach (and to a lesser degree Halsin), who are also physically imposing, but never feel that way either of them.
Since the games are being ruined now, the adaptations of these awesome games are going to be terrible. Amazon is finding a way to ruin the things that we love growing up playing.

Even the term, 'Woke' hides and obscures the truth, it's a vague buzzword that can be redifined any way one wants. However, the specific Ideology at play is a very particular thing. Cultural Marxism teaches that everything is a Social Construct, Objective Reality does not exist and Feelings create reality.
A Society cannot FUNCTION with this nonsensical worldview & we have been seeing that proven over the last decade. BG3, despite being well-made and entertaining is obviously helping to normalize this nonsense.

I finally realized why all this hatred for one character felt so familiar lol. Bioware wants Tash to be their fan favorite, but he/she is actually their "Ava from Borderlands 3"
That’s an interesting point. What sucks for the Ava situation though was cut content that would’ve helped immensely. But there’s no saving Taash. Even if they were man or woman. Whatever. They would still be insufferable because they demand respect but never once give it to others. I saw what I guess was the beginning of the love scene for Taash and if a man was in their place? Everyone would tear this game apart. It felt violating coupled with god awful writing. Meanwhile Zevran; a hoe in canon made no move until he had your implicit consent.

That story has already been told, and every fan of ME has already experienced that story in a level of depth no show could match.

One of the best thing in Baldur's Gate 1, and 2 is that nobody is essential. The only person who's death will end the story is the main character. It is also one of the best feature of New Vegas. You don't want to be the grand hero who tolerate everyone? Then don't! You don't want to work with an annoying character? Kick him/her out of the party. Or even kill them. Dragon Age: Origins also went into this direction quite well. Many companions can be made so mad, that they leave, or refuse their join, or just tell them to leave.
Shale the golem’s story wasn’t even about gender but she is shocked to find out she was a woman drawf when she was alive, how is a character that was added AFTERWARDS is still more thought out and interacts with the story more like with carriden and his anvil and the creation of golems more in line with the story?! How!? These writers are lunatics!
Shale was - and is - a fun character to play. A huge sarchastic stone guy/girl - what's not to like 🙂
Not among my personal DA:O favorites (I seem to almost always end up with some kind of Wynne/Alistair/Sten/Leliana combo, with the "extra dog slot" on top of it...) for my parties there, but definately fun in a couple of playthrus.
Interesting.
In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous there is a threat over the world as well: the Worldwound, the rift between dimensions through which demons come to the world of mortals. And the main hero - the Lord Commander - is the one who should do something about that. And all of it is quite serious, and even time gated at some points; if a player is distracted by side quests, the main quest becomes much worse.
However, there are lighter elements there, too, but they are tightly interwoven into the story. A companion has a crush on the Commander, and brings buckets of flowers to the conference room. A trusted lieutenant wants to wed the love of his life while he is still not killed, and the party goes camping, with the wedding feast prepared in the field. It does not end very well, but still.
All of it can be done. Jokes and lighthearted distractions can be added naturally to a serious and dark setting. However, there need to be talented writers to do that.
Such is the difference between those who throw buckets of paint at a wall (activists) and a true Artist
it can be done, but it requires talent and wisdom.

What makes me so irritated is that these games were already diverse and accepting the fans already were now they're ruined it by forgetting character and story and tarnishing the diversity that was there.
3:50 Mass effect has the mission when you all get drunk and have a house party when the Reapers are coming and the fate of the Galaxy is in your hands
That's true, but it's not a 2 day camp trip. Having your team get drunk at the bar for a break from death and killing isn't the same as planning a camp trip
The house party was supposed to be a post war celebration, yet dropped as a mid game drunk session
Yeah, that was stupid, I don't like the jammed humour stuff in between actual life or death stories
Soldiers getting drunk is pretty much the one constant in war across all human existence.
@@Beachhead13also I leave it as a post war celebration.
Great speech at the end there. I feel the same, A TRUE fan of a game will criticise it hard for where it's going wrong, not appease it. That's what I do and I've suffered by being banned multiple times off Steam by the mostly woke Mods there.
One can only pray that Bioware is forced to close before ME4 is released. I do not want to see Liara Uglified. I do not want to see more Asari like the one from Andromeda. I refuse to bother to relearn her name, she was a boring character and a below mid one for looks
She was the Shrek-Sari that's how we all remember that thing.
Harding sounds like Mindy Kaling's, Velma.
It's a no go right there.
At times yeah sadly
@bazzzzz6175 bellara’s character bothers me from the few clips I’ve seen. Her being a favorite of that one person made my skin crawl. Her character appears like someone who’s been forced to be positive and defend her abusive partner when they’ve been abused or humiliated in public. 🤢 it’s so unnatural.
@@cynreiusacari3163 It's very creepy.
@@cynreiusacari3163 From all the clips I've seen, it feels like they tried to make her just naive, but wrote her to be the "idiot savant" archetype.
It is a dark time for gamers. Indy games are gonna get real popular
The past 10 years of events only started after Tumblr changed their terms of service policies
Gamers need to start being Non-Buy-Nary for all AAA games.
Never buy day one.
Wait till at least a few weeks to a month to see if the game is worth buying after the hype dies off, if the devs pulled a bait and switch and if the game's content is not crammed with current dayism.
Your terms are right, mate
With Veilguard keeps underperforming every day, I wonder if Bioware has enough money to develop new Mass Effect game until it finish
ME will be the last straw. If that fails BioWare is gone
From everything that had happened I hope and wish,pray for them to go completely bankrupt with no return for someone else to buy mass effect title and work on it elsewhere. unironically it’s better that way.
@@GamingTalk-cl7xj since they sent the microcephalic troglodytes who made Veilguard to work on ME5, it will be dead on arrival, and BIoware will be shut down by EA.
Depends if EA will keep them funded...
And guess what's going to happen when they attempt Mass Effect again. The same thing as Veilguard, and they will be shocked and appalled that it fell faster than the shuttle that Wrex elbow dropped.
22:40 >> Bad message! "iNseRt WOkE aLL yOu wAnT bUt mAKe iT pLayEr cHoiCe". I reject this!
Don't put any woke stuff in anything! don't acknowledge their existence and don't cater whatever small portion of your game to them!
I agree. And bg3 has plenty of unavoidable wokeness in it. I like the game. But Endymion has a blind spot on this subject. But I digress. The community is wildly overrepresented. Has been for years already and it's time to dial it back a bit. This doesn't mean denying the existence of LGBT people. But it's about realistic proportionality. And that's only something worth talking about if the media in question is meant to exist in the real world in some way. Fantasy worlds shouldn't have any real life politics in them whatsoever. But whatever. They keep making games and movies for this tiny minority and guess what. The tiny minority is showing up. But they aren't enough to actually make a product profitable. So enjoy losing money you hacks. I enjoy seeing it.
The fact that all the time i spent making the perfect history for this game by doing specific things in the previous 3 games being thrown away also pisses me off. Did everything in game instead of using the keep.
From Grey Wardens to Gay Wardens.
Seeing this brings tears to my eyes both tears of happiness and sadness. I just hope the IP drops to a more capable team in the future and that they just reboot the entire IP and bring it back to DA: Origins level of quality.
laughed my ass off at the Commander Sheperd casting, because that's exactly who I imagine they'd cast 😂😂
This game is going "backwards" in sales numbers. At one point it was at almost 900k sold on steam to 550k as I just check before dropping a comment. The massive number of returns is absolutely staggering.
It’s crazy that something like this was ever greenlit. The audience is literally less than 1% of the entire population of the US. That TAM and SAM economically make zero sense.
I will never touch Dragon Age: Veilguard. Currently playing Scarface: The World Is Yours on PS2. No wokeness in that. Modern gaming is less about fun. More about sensitivity.
Modern gaming is still very much alive and awesome, just stop being stuck on these fruitcake DEI games. Play Helldivers, Space Marines, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate, Black Myth Wukong, Monster Hunter Wilds is coming soon and there are many more games like that!
actually I got the best ending in less than 15 hours. EVERYONE DIED. They all sucked!
The world is better off without Taash (blowing horns) and BioWare.
2:31 The irony of being on Chapter 11 of a game that is struggling financially.
I now wish they wouldn’t make another mass effect game. I love the series and after seeing what they’ve done to dragon age I would much rather they let the series end with the legendary edition
Taash: I'm non-binary.
Spock: I like science.
Padme: I like the Water.
That One Kid: I LIKE TURTLES!
Im That One Kid
I like trains
At this point I don't want another Mass Effect game.
It's gonna be the same gdam thing.
You know it. Their ideology won’t permit anything else.
lol 20$ is 20$ more than I'm willing to pay for this garbage. I'm not even interested in pirating it, not worth the time wasted, not a good game by itself not to mention for a Dragon age, for me Dragon age is dead.
If you want to test your patience, instead of your brain or wits, play this.
At this point, Mass Effect is the Indiana Jones of video game franchises: 3 classic instalments, followed by an inferior and unwanted fourth installment years later, followed by an abysmal and almost universally loathed fifth instalment years after that.
U know what this means....10 more Sims 4 Expansions to make up the difference!
The Oh NO Trump won derangement Pack. Dress up as your favorite insane person crying Online, etc
Beyond all the obvious problems with the game...my biggest issue is that your team mates don't matter. Every enemy targets you off the bat like there arn't two other combatants.
I'm Czech and this is kinda fake news. Czech version of Mass Effect is not dropping any pronouns. They shut the guy out from the forum, closed it and his superiors commented that they are pro-DEI. Please, report the full story. Don't get excited for something that isn't happening.
At this point. I can only say this. As someone who had to watch the dragon age series go up in flames... here is where i'm at.
🎶
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning, since the woke's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we see them burnin'🎶
It is hard to get past the Pixar/Fortnite character design. The dialogue animation looks like it came from a game from 10 years ago. Main character dialogue choices are in almost every instance: Yes, Yes(supposed to be funn) or Yes(stern). This game is both undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Sad.
I really hate the over the top attack moves,especially attack moves for the warrior and rogue class. And how they turn the grey wardens into weak idiots.
You don’t have to lean into the Broshep thing. FemShep is also a fucking badass.
I guess they kind of forgot that Dwarves have no connection to the fade, and cannot use magic. Not gonna lie, but I cannot wait to hear the screams when a mod beautifies Taash and puts her in a slave girl outfit...
I was screaming this when Harding was talking about feeling lyrium and magic!
@@piranhapout I mean the closest DA has ever had was Sandal, and he was just a savant in regards to making runes. Then in DAI, they brought back a character from DA2, Dagna. But NONE OF THEM could do magic, hell even Dagna studied at the circle , and clearly stated in DAI, dwarves cannot access the fade or do magic.
I can't wait for the drama when they release a mod enabling to kill Trash, I may pirate the game just to do that.
Honestly, not convinced anyone has enough interest in the character, even spite, to make them into a hot slave girl.
@@TheVoidIsCold The only people invested enough are more likely to mod to look even uglier so they feel represented.
I'm already grateful to you. You and all other “gamer rescuers”!
Can we as a community just take over the game industry like how these woke activists did and once one of us gets to a certain point in it we can just replace all of them with actual fans and passionate and actual creative people who has lots of skill for story telling and programming!
I heard about this from Smash JT. Man I LOVE this! This has been such a great week! :D
This veil isn't worth guarding
Solas should’ve been able to complete his ritual the entire game happens cause Rook is an idiot
Dragqueen Gayge: Fail Gaurd
I have no desire to see what will become of Mass Effect at this point
“Jokey millennial companions” sir I I’m more than halfway done my 30s, millennials aren’t the problem I promise you.
I didnt finish it but here are my notes:
1- why make me choose a name when they are calling me rook all time
2- WHY a new character when it should have been my inquisitor
3- This game didnt need new characters.. should have been almost Inquisition part 2. Solas betrayed the inquisition, is the chasing of him, i wanted to play my same party looking for Solas, with some new side story that comes together, idk, something. Imagine if in The Lord of the rings, after the ending events of the fellowship of the ring, the two towers starts with them destroying the ring in the first 20 minutes, now we got a new story with lobelia sackville and Vigo Boffin.
4- If i wanted to play a soulslike game, i'd play darksouls
5- Why make me set my "world" as how it ended in inquisition, if then it wont matter at all
6- If you are not giving me my inqisuitor, at least my warden or my champion from DA2 should have finished the job, not a new random boring character.
7- God i hate the non-binary quinari that goes against the entire lore of her race.
8- where is Leliana? she has been in all and i didnt see any video of her yet.... game could have been named the adventures of Varric and Leliana, since they have been main characters in all games, but where is she now (i dont remember her dying in the 3rd, i have nt played in many years so i could be wrong and she had some bad ending)
9- again, i waited FOR YEARS to finish the Solas story, i was so hyped... why change everything.
now i am angry so i'll play again the game of the years, Persona 3 reload.
There will never be another Garrus, especially now with these writers
I hope they sell it to Larian, Obsidian, or inExile and they bring it back to DA:O.
I'd pay $100 for DA:O/Awakening remade with modern graphics. Then for each sequal with importable saves, that actually take your choices from the previous ones.
I love DA veilguard, the only game where you can play as a Cronenberg monster.
Meh... There are better body horror games
