No way this can be in final game. I'm 100% convinced its AI written. Either that or Bioware was trying to insert parody into it or something. No human writer will write that stuff, read the final draft and say "yeah we're going with that". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way this can be in final game. It's in the game. Bioware hired activists as writers. One look at their profile (blue hairs, pronouns etc whole package) will tell you how they contributed to the writing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 (edited) Looks like all the cringe stuff surrounds this one character Taash. Bellara also feels too quirky/adhd type. Just hoping the other companions are better. Specifically looking forward to Emmerich, Lucanis and Harding.

Heaven Angel Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Some important info to know before you start Dragon Age The Veilguard: - Next to picking a class, you also need to pick which of the game's major factions your character was a part of before joining the Veilguard - Each faction has their own major questline, reputation level and vendors who increase their available wares the higher your reputation gets. You also earn reputation faster with the faction you picked during character creation. - In certain conversations, you also have unique dialogue choices that tie into your faction, which can even present new outcomes for a quest or storyline. - There are five major difficulties, and switching between these influences things like enemy aggression, damage and the timing window for your parries and dodges. - The highest difficulty, Nightmare, locks you in for the entirety of your playthrough, so only pick that if you're up for the challenge. Doing this won't lead to any extra rewards either, it's just for bragging rights. - There's also a sixth difficulty called Unbound, which basically lets you customise individual aspects of difficulty to create the perfect challenge. - The UI is very customisable as well, you can disable things like damage numbers, the minimap or ability icons to clear up the screen a bit. - Picking your class is the toughest and most important choice. There is the Mage, Rogue and Warrior that all have 3 specialisations - Warriors can fight with either a sword and shield or a heavy two-handed weapon and like to stay in the thick of battle with enemies close to you. - The first specialization is called Champion that focusses on sword and shield-combat and dealing heavy fire damage, which includes the ability to throw a cluster firebomb - The Slayer is all about two-handed weapons, closing the gap by leaping into combat and in general, dealing heavy damage - The Reaper focussed heavily on dealing necrotic damage with badass, undead-themed attacks and utilizing the Warrior's shield-throwing ranged combo. - Mages are more of a ranged caster, thanks to many powerful elemental abilities. They use a staff that fires projectiles or can swap to an orb-dagger combo, that offers a very interesting playstyle more focussed on mid- to short-range combat. - Mage specializations are the Deathcaller, a necrotic-themed spellcaster that allows you to Siphon health from enemies - The Spellblade is more focussed on lightning damage and close-range combat with the orb and dagger. - And The Evoker that definitely has the coolest unique skill of the bunch, as it allows you to drop a literal black hole on the field. - The Rogue is more of a glass cannon, as they can only parry and dodge, whereas Mages and Warriors also have the ability to simply block attacks. - Rogues are very versatile though, as they don't swap between weapons and instead use dual blades for heavy melee damage and their bow for impressive damage at range. - If you want more melee-damage, the Duelist specialization unlocks some very flashy dagger-skills, including the AoE-ultimate Murder of Crows. - The Saboteur is more of a trapper-vibe, with a deployable turret to keep enemies off your back. - And the final specialization, the Veil Ranger, is a sniper-specializations focussed on electrical damage, precision shots and weird gadgets that make your arrows even stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Omg wait till you guys read about what they did in German version of the game. Since there is no pronoun called "they", they used something called neo pronouns "hen/hem" https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/s/2mf2r1cWc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 What about gender selection as character? This has always been just male and female with option to romance same sex. This is ever since RPG gaming existed. Are they giving it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Played it a bit, enjoyed it. Finished the intro section. Game is amazingly optimized. Runs really well on my 4070. I turned Frame Generation on and I'm getting 150-200 fps on Ultra settings lmao 6 minutes ago, dante77 said: What about gender selection as character?

I'm playing at 4K with DLSS Quality and everything Ultra (incl RT) and staying at around 70-80 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you plan to pick which class- Warrior, Rogue or Mage? I am confused between Rogue and Mage. Both look sure fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look sure fun to play. I usually pick class specilize in close quarters but the mage looked fun in trailers. Although for the long 80+ hours run it'll be a hard pick for me too. Go for the one you like to play the most. I see many are preferring mage in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 For what its worth, some reviews said that ranged attacks are more difficult to perform since enemies will rush you often. But every class has both ranged and melee attacks. (Warrior can throw his shield) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
