Sorry for raging. Not only is it woke with modern day dialogue and marvel humor but the art style looks worse then Fortnite and the trailer makes it seem like some hero party shooter then a dark fantasy RPG. How did they get from DA:O to this slop?
Here is the trailer if you guys missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F3N4Lxw4_Y
Lukewarm take: the Dragon Age franchise has been shit for 20 years and even DAO had significant problems. Maybe now it'll be put out of its misery at least.
Dragon Age isn't even 20 years old. I won't say you're wrong, though. Every issue this trailer had was present since Dragon Age 2, including the Marvel-esque presentation, the gaudy art style, the overt gayness in everything, and the general ugliness in the characters (especially the women). I'm actually surprised the new game is being met with near-universal vitriol; it's like everyone has suddenly woken up and is seeing Dragon Age the way I've been seeing it ever since the first previews for DA2 were released.
And yeah, Origins honestly wasn't too far removed from the rest stylistically. A lot of the characters and dialogue had a proto-MCU feel where there was a tad too much goofiness and quipping going around. The writers even admitted to taking inspiration from Whedon shows with a lot of them.
that makes sense, it's not how I remember it, but it was a different era, before everyone was sick of everything whedon.
