[da: veilguard] bought and started this game today (largely negative inside so don't come here for nice things LMAO)
where am i
i'm only a few hours in
inadequate tits
sits here at once
where am i
i bought it used bc i heard all that shit going down and was not giving EA or bioware money
where am i
i made my rook; elvish shadow dragon. he is of course extremely handsome
where am i
i just did uhhhh what's that blighted town you visit before you finally get fast travel? whatever that one is
where am i
i'm very sorry to anyone who liked the game right away but this game is straight up bad
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
lmao yep
where am i
it looks a little weird and the UI is.....very confusing (especially compared to earlier installments) but i can get past that
where am i
but the writing....the pacing, the directing
where am i
bad
where am i
i'm not super up on my lore, esp the elven stuff; i remember hearing ppl pissed off about how much got ignored or just retconned entirely
where am i
but even just this far into the game i'm like....this feels like bad fanfiction of the actual DA game that was supposed to come out
where am i
very sorry to everybody who worked really hard on it esp the decent folks
where am i
but the dialogue is bad, some of the characters are bad
where am i
let me tell you how jarring it was for dalish to come rocking up to me and start speaking like colonel sanders and.....i don't even know what, in that order
adrastean
I've heard it's like it's own weird game because it ignores or changes so much
where am i
i thought the dalish all were celtic/scottish accent types??? and like yeah obv lots of elves didn't talk like that, but these are DALISH
where am i
which yeah, sure, i can tolerate its own weird game ignoring its own canon, sure
where am i
IF
where am i
it was also good
where am i
it's not good!! i'm BORED
where am i
when i played DA (original DA before origins), even with how clunky it was, i was excited to keep playing it to the end
where am i
DA2 i couldnt put down
where am i
same with DA:I, played that MULTIPLE times
where am i
shit, i STILL play DA:I
where am i
this????? i don't want to play it
where am i
girl we pulled up to a CLEARLY abandoned dock and the dialogue was like "why is so quiet? this is a busy dock! there should be people here selling fish and having conversations! this is unusual!" "hmm yes something must clearly be wrong" LIKE?
where am i
GIRL WE ALREADY KNOW SMTH IS WRONG, THAT IS WHY WE ARE COMING HERE
where am i
two minutes after something happened, the characters reconvened and said "okay, so this is what happened" GIRL I DON'T NEED THAT RECAP??/ WE JUST DID IT
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
I’m 15 hours in, one of my characters is hardened (I genuinely didn’t care), and it hasn’t gotten better. I keep going back hoping it’s just my mood but I turn it off yearning for 2.
where am i
i don't even know what being hardened means and i don't even care to find out
where am i
i may actually take this game back
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
lmfao
where am i
we are at the blighted village that is clearly blighted because we heard something might be wrong and maybe we will hear about the blighted gods while we're here and then the mayor is like "the blighted gods blighted this village" and homegirl is like "THE GODS DID THIS???? D:"
where am i
girlfriend
where am i
we been knew this
inadequate tits
idr where it happens but i especially like the friendship is magic speech where its like we can do anything if we do it together!! as friends!! and its like bro we just met like 3 hours ago
where am i
LMFAOSDF
where am i
look, did we as a fanbase bitch about traversing the hissing wastes? yes
where am i
was it NECESSARY for all the random dialogue to help form bonds between our found family? absolutely
where am i
i know i only just got fast travel so i'm hoping maybe i'm going to be unlocking larger areas but like
where am i
i have such a low opinion of the first few hours that i'm kind of not all that interested in getting more mid stuff
where am i
i'll go play ff14 or go back to my hardmode rebirth playthru
where am i
at least my rook is gorgeous
where am i
i loved harding so much in da:i and so far i'm just kind of "hey yeah harding.....that's right i like her...." and neve i'm like "yeah sure" and with bellana i'm like "when do i get to replace you"
where am i
THIS IS BAD!!!
where am i
they had to sideline the most charismatic character (varric) right out the gate bc they knew their asses couldn't write that dialogue!!!
where am i
LSO
where am i
ALSO
where am i
SORRY
where am i
THAT WAS SO FUNNY varric was like solas is my friend!! he'll listen to me, i'm gonna talk to him!!!! i'll convince him, i can do it!!
where am i
and he walked up there and he was like "solas ppl are dying!" and solas was like "everybody does D|" and varric was like ENOUGH TALK AND PULLED A FUCKING GUN ON HIM LMASLDGIUASODFIU
where am i
THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY BUT I WAS HOWLING
inadequate tits
it was very funny
where am i
VARRIC!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION NOT AN OPENER TO DISTRACT HIM SO YOU CAN UNLOAD 25 BOLTS IN HIS BACK
inadequate tits
bastard has been planning this for years you did not even try
where am i
varric: he just needs an excuse to not do it! I'll give him one!
rook; ok yeah go for i believe in you
varric, looking at solas: augh god you're like....doing something bad.....gosh how do i put this..........like, it's mean
where am i
GIRL HE IS THE DREAD WOLF
where am i
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP WRITING
inadequate tits
you didnt even call him an egg head
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
Watched my husband play this and my fave bad line is etched into memory eternal
Some companion: wow! How can we even get up there?
Rook: there's always a way to get places
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
We've probably said "there's always a way to get places" 20 times since
adrastean
Except a place with better writing. Evidently there's not a way to get there
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
It's colorful and seems fun enough but also just didn't feel super like a DA game???
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
Idk DA super well but it just felt very different from what I gathered through RP and such
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
Reading your plurk has made me feel more valid in that thought so thank you for sharing your sorrow
where am i
NO, PLEASE
where am i
"THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY TO GET PLACES" YEAH NO SHIT ASSHOLE THAT'S WHY THEY ASKED
where am i
yeah it felt like a game that wasn't DA but used DA words
where am i
i dunno maybe i'll pick at it when the ADHD brain is like "do a new thing" but otherwise
where am i
meh
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
the whole game feels very surface level dragon age. it felt as if the writers got out a rough draft and instead of letting them spit shine that bitch until it was great, execs read the first draft and went “good enough”
where am i
you KNOW half that shit is AI bc they fired the writers
where am i
you KNOW it is
where am i
"there's always a way to get places" chatgpt spit that shit nugget out
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
I genuinely wouldn’t be shocked but I’d like to think the writers (all let go now omfg) would out that shit.
where am i
NDAs are powerful things but it would be nice if it wasn't used
where am i
i don't believe it tho
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
I didn’t even consider an nda, you right. oh dragon age how far you’ve fallen rip sweet prince
adrastean
Allegedly that actually is partially what happened. They were given an outline from the people that originally were working on it and then rewrote a lot of what the game was going to be? From what I read a long time ago
where am i
executives looked at every 6th page of the script and was like "i don't understand what's going on? where's my PA with my 3pm cocaine. add some explainers in there so the player understands what just happened because i don't understand and if i don't understand they don't either"
where am i
and then underpaid janice is like "sir....if you read the part the page prior where they found the body, most people can deduce that the person died-" and the executive is like "SSNRRRRRRTT what? get out of my office i have to watch pornhub on a company laptop now. who are you anyway. you're fired"
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗲
that was a totally real conversation I can see it clear as day. Poor janice
inadequate tits
adds "there's always a way to get places" to the list of wacky lines people said alongside shit like "life needs things to live"
where am i
"people die if they are killed"
where am i
GIRL WHAT
where am i
