And they're explicitly "top surgery" scars controlled by a dedicated "top surgery scars y/n" switch. Injury from your backstory? Treatment for a disease? No, they are from your top surgery. Feel seen.
Interesting fact about "diversity and imclusivity". Less than 1% of the world population is trans, and almost 10% is left-handed. Still there is no option to make a character left-handed. And we, left-handed people, couldn't care less nor we need it to get immersed in videogames
Indeed. And what about gingers, if you really wanted to push minorities they'd be all over the place by now. But they're not, cause they have white skin.
O% of the world population is trans. Plastic, drugs, and a change of fashion sense ain’t enough to transition. I’m not gonna see someone put on glasses and be like “WHO TF ARE YOU!?”
just start screaming about right handed supremacy and being oppressed for being left handed, and the right hand normative society we live in (aka use all the buzzwords)
"top surgery scar" seem about as important as "contract showing you are a slave". I can't see any trans people wanting this, as much as I doubt any african american want to roleplay as a slave.
Not to defend this in any way, but in DA there really isn't this kind of shape shifting magic (there are some that are specific to turning into animals), and if there were it would likely be blood magic and verboten in most places. Not all fantasy magic systems are the same.
Drag Queen Age: Failguard, the only game where your non-binary Rook can have top surgery scars and drink estrogen potions, truly a timeless masterpiece for the ages
It would be interesting if they had a mechanic like that if your character doesn't take a potion every so often they would expire, but the same people saying that some textures are groundbreaking will say the dev are phobes. And where are the combat wheelchairs? How bigoted.
They're telling us that they hate women without telling us that they hate women. I fucking hate the mainstream media, and game "journalists" most of all.

You are not alowed to create a female at all in this game. Flat and none existant backside, no booba at all. The heads are big, no necks and you can use the chins are melee weapons.
Dragqueen Age: Hairguard No party based combat No tactical combat No tactics No dark gritty asthetics You only had about 1/4 of the spells that we had in Origins! Where the Enteopy tree, wheres the creation tree, wheres the other 3/4 of the Spirit tree, wheres the mage abilities??? What happened to stat allocation and skills??

Where are the toggled abilities, whay happened to the 7 class specializations from Origins?? Why did Qunari go from Gargoyles to anime waifu?!?? Why did the Qun change from Fascist to Fetish??? This does not resemble Dragon Age even a little bit..
Ehh to be moderately fair with the Qunari that's more or less just a title for them. As with Talis and Sten they are qunari as well just not the bullheaded people qunari.

I've created 16 female characters in Black Desert and they look amazing and every one is different. Coming up with a character that you are happy with and enjoy steering around is such an important part of enjoying a game. The Veilguard is not for me cause you can't create anything that is halfway attractive.
My opinion about Elden Ring too. I made my manly woman that I'll try the game out with, but the game clearly has no reason to be played as a female character at all.

It is really strange that nearly all magazines - also here in Germany - tell people to not give up the game, although most gamers dislike it. It seems like a political propaganda telling to like games for "modern audience".
Amazing. So to appeal to 0.00001% of the population, who won't even buy the game anyway, they're going to lose a chunk of sales. Shame because it actually looks like a pretty game, however if they're adding stuff like this, you know for a fact there'll be certain "messages" in the rest of it. I'll just go back to Divinity 2.
There's no way they added an option for "top surgery scars" in a medieval fantasy videogame. I refuse to believe the people involved in making the game are that out of touch.
Black desert online came out in 2014 and its character creator is still the best ever... What does anyone want with this bs... They just refuse to make good games and just show their political agenda, embarassing
The equivalent of some media shill going, "This is the _gayest_ Marvel show ever". Similar red flag. Then when no one buys it, they'll go " Why are gamers homophobic? "
If it was in a list of scars that would've been good. But I'm even fine with the top scars toggle. My issue is that all of the 'traditional' feminine beauty sliders, like glutes and breasts, have been capped at next to nothing. You can't claim to be diversity positive when you only appease one section of the community. And I'm fine with male or female pronoun choice because it's zero effort for devs. Instead of "if player is male body type, use male dialogue" they make it "if pronoun toggle is male, use male dialogue."
Black Desert Online a 10 year old game has a greater and more in-depth character creator but you can't have breast bracers though so i guess its not as "modern"...
As someone who's a long time fan of the series, and absolutely fucking adored Origins all the way back when it first came out when I was like 15, I really, truly hope that veilguard fails miserably. Dragon Age is a dark fantasy series laced with dry humour, not a woke, feel good marvel movie. And yes, I liked Inquisition. The game had a trans character, yes, but it was handled actually rather well, and the way Iron Bull described it was rather apt for the setting, basically just saying that pissing while standing doesn't make you a warrior and left it at that. I was really looking forward to more Dragon Age after finishing the last DLC of inquisition, but now I'm just done with the series. It's fine. It ended in a cliffhanger, but it's over. Veilguard, even in the terms of gameplay looks like a fucking downgrade from inquisition, and on top of that has a story full of Marvel humour and woke propaganda. Why even give it a chance if you actually like Dragon Age? Nothing about it looks good.
But Vara you can’t talk negative about this game or the Dragon Age community will come after you 🤭 All 5 of them 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man after the lockdowns we’ve been getting so soooooo many bad games from the US. Creativity lost? Priorities lost? Maybe a bit of Column A and Column B. Just remaster the old Dragon Age games or play Inquisition over this slop-
Forcing someone to like something only makes them hate it more. It's like they know it is bad, but it is too late to pull the plug, and now it needs to be sold by any means for the studio to not get closed from the lack of revenues.
Top surgery scar but no voluptuous body parts? Ok I'm out. That maxed out breast and butt slider was a huge miss bioware. There's more than just flat chests and butts out there.
"This is the BioWare comeback fans wanted". What fans? Where? I saw all the trans stuff and knew the game was another self insert money burning party. I'm just shocked they didn't put a Palestinian flag anywhere in the game.
I have aero issue with them adding these kinds of things, because at the end of the day they don't matter. What matters' is the gameplay & the story. & we all know that if they're raving about how good the pronoun selection is or how you can have scars from a surgery (that most people having actually had that surgery probably wouldn't want to admit to having had in the first place. I mean seriously, they'd want to appear as if that was their normal body & not the result of surgery in most cases wouldn't they?) & saying nothing whatsoever about how well the game plays or how engrossing the story is It's probably because those latter things aren't present in any meaningful manner. I have no doubt that the game will sell on brand recognition, but honestly, who is expecting it to actually be good at this point?
ive watched like 10 of those hands on reviews from different people - and i dont believe a damn one of them the further it strays away from origins the worst DA becomes its a dark fantasy not a high fantasy
Frankly, as someone in the "target demo" (though in the opposite direction, as it were), this reeks of two things: fetishization, and the second, which I think is even more relevent, a desperate attempt to draw attention away from a crappy product. Seriously, without the political pandering/virtue signaling, there is nothing to distract from the reality that this character creator is simply terrible. I mean, c'mon, the sliders for things like butt do barely anything, the overall aesthetic looks like a Fortnight clone and comparing this to BDO (as Vara does) shows this is a shamefully poor showing form any company 10 years after BDO came out. BioWare is not trying to "represent" anyone, they are shamelessly using people with problems as a shield from criticism. It's repulsive, not brave.
that´s exactly it, NOBODY would care if you just take a generic scar and move that around like decals and adjust it with your own creativity to make it look like surgery scars, if you want that as a player go for it.. that would have been the way around the fact that trans characters in a setting with transformation and transfiguration magic, obviously wouldn´t have surgery scars. but doing that wouldn´t be such an obvious virtue signaling timequare, they don´t care that, this along with their other bullsh*t completely breaks any resemblance of immersion. Not that it would be needed, but if you could have just one example that these people don´t care in the slightest about games and gaming and are instead 100% religious zealots, this would be it.
It's already hanging by a thread. MEAndromeda appealed to the sandbox crowd, but not the greater Mass Effect fanbase. If this is what BioWare is moving forward with, it's a red flag for the next Mass Effect that's supposed to revitalize the franchise.
OG dragonage fan here. bought every dlc/game and ive even read all the books about the lore. listen please: 10 years ago in dragon age inquisition , we had dorian (gay) we had commander cullen (gay) we had iron bull (bi) and we had lesbian and trans characters in the game as well. but we loved them all... (my most favorite friends in the game were cullen and dorian and solas) im not against NATURAL diversity and options... but THIS fkin new DRAG-age failgard... is a betrayal for the ages... how far youve fallen bioware...
Just finished Inquisition a few days ago. Cullen wasn't gay but otherwise he's mostly right. Some other things is that Bioware have always done LGBT stuff since at least Jade Empire possibly earlier and they used to be more than just that I remember Trainor and Cortez from Mass Effect 3 and they weren't just a lesbian or a gay member on the Normandy. Even Dorian wasn't just a gay character because he was how we found out a lot about how the Tevinter Imperium was including their version of slavery being more like Romans and less like well what most people think slavery is. Then somewhere since Mass Effect 3 they've made LGBT tokens instead of characters. You saw it early with Krem who was Iron Bull's second in command that was Trans and somehow the Qun of all things accepted that even though Qunari had actual gender roles. And Krem was just Trans there wasn't a character just representation and all this became shallow. That's a reason why Bioware is getting so much criticism over this. They use to do that whole representation thing they care so much about right in their older titles. Now everyone even people that don't play Bioware games see just how hollow all the representation Veil Guard has is now because they don't have the talent to do right. And if the promo material Bioware is releasing now is this bad imagine how bad the gameplay and writing is going to be on release?
An option like this only works in a modern day setting, if it were in a saint’s row game, it’d be appropriate at least. This is a game in a setting where magic exists and medical advancements don’t - If anyone was going to transition it would be through magic. At that point any references to transgenderism would have to be allegorical, but they were too uncreative to think of a way to do that so they just plopped it down and didn’t think how to justify it.
I already have a large game library and backlog. More and more games are coming out that im interested in and i have a limited budget, so at this point I'm almost looking for any reason to not purchase a title. It may seem silly to not buy a game because of some character creator options i could easily ignore, but as the red flags pile up this new Dragon Age has been put on the "meh" or "maybe when it's $10" pile. Metaphor ReFantazio still looking amazing for this month. Saving my money for that i think.
I looked up the ign person who praisdd for that character creation and they look exactly how they speak and feel about it. It's so easy to predict what these people are just based on how they act and look nowadays.
And the journalists wonder why all gamers love things like, space marines 2, wukong, stellarblade, once human, and the lolipop remaster. Its called... MAKE A FUCKING VIDEO GAME NOT A PANDER CHECKLIST
Pandering to the alphabet mafia is only a minor annoyance to me. What bothers me most about their "the most inclusive" narrative is that it's a lie, being unable to make a female character that looks naturally, feminine is proof enough of that.
If you like gaming drama, we got early christmas. First Concord, then Play Station Pro. Now we get Dragon Age: Wokeguard. Please slow down, I can't stop laughing. I wonder what comes next.
Let them fail. Let them loose more money honestly the best thing we can do is see how much of this "MODERN AUDIENCE " actually buys this damn game. Know I'm not.
Man thats such a great point. If they had say a scars option and you could place the scars wherever on the body that would be one thing. But they knew what they were doing putting *that* type of scar front and center.
U see what they’re doing right? They are trying to flood the search results (google) with positive headlines about the character creation to censor and drown out the backlash to the people and UA-camrs speaking against it. Its why they ALL use the same headlines just worded a little differently (sometimes not even then just straight up use the same terms).
I don't play Dragon Age so i dont know the worle, but isnt this a world where magic exists? If so, why not use magic to change your sex instead of having a surgery in what i assume is not a sanitary operation.
The fact that they're using 'top surgery scars' specifically as a selling feature tells me everything I need to know about the game and their priorities.
...yeah, pretty much.

There's no way they added an option for "top surgery scars" in a medieval fantasy videogame. I refuse to believe the people involved in making the game are that out of touch.
All those 150 modern audience gamers have soon new game! Jay! 😁
Black desert online came out in 2014 and its character creator is still the best ever... What does anyone want with this bs... They just refuse to make good games and just show their political agenda, embarassing
I don't see any political agenda in the game.
I was rely imprsed with dark souls 3 cc now I know its newer but that's what I came to expect and before that ironically was mass effect 2
@@ahmedOsama81931 Its a game that glorifies self harm, and is clearly not targeted at trans, only activists, hence political.

The equivalent of some media shill going, "This is the _gayest_ Marvel show ever". Similar red flag. Then when no one buys it, they'll go " Why are gamers homophobic? "
The phobic part needs to be replaced with something that means "disgusted by" or "grossed out by".
They often confuse fear with sheer disgust. I'm neither frightened nor intimidated by your degeneracy, just utterly repulsed.
I see so many UA-camrs trying to defend this game and the real gamers are calling them out on it because this is not Dragon Age😂
My fave is when shills write a 6 page essay justifying their mental gymnastics. Thank you for your biography, I am not your psychiatrist.
Did you see what the body types are in this game? There's only 2, and they are
1) Masculine male
2) Feminine male
That's it! There are no females!!
main game director of Bioware is trans. Which is why no character is allowed to look like female in this ugly game.
We stopped existing to allow ~progress, avast fellow non-men, to the future we obviously wanted (not).
The game is said to be "inclusive" yet they totally ignored people who like creating beautiful characters.
So as it turns out, all the characters look weird is because they all have exaggerated bigger head.
If it was in a list of scars that would've been good. But I'm even fine with the top scars toggle. My issue is that all of the 'traditional' feminine beauty sliders, like glutes and breasts, have been capped at next to nothing. You can't claim to be diversity positive when you only appease one section of the community.
And I'm fine with male or female pronoun choice because it's zero effort for devs. Instead of "if player is male body type, use male dialogue" they make it "if pronoun toggle is male, use male dialogue."
Of course they did.
Even more reason to pass on this trash game.
Being inclusive by being exclusive to majority of their playerbase. This is just comical.
Black Desert Online a 10 year old game has a greater and more in-depth character creator but you can't have breast bracers though so i guess its not as "modern"...
It's incredibly insensitive to cancer survivors to glorify those specific surgery scars
As someone who's a long time fan of the series, and absolutely fucking adored Origins all the way back when it first came out when I was like 15, I really, truly hope that veilguard fails miserably. Dragon Age is a dark fantasy series laced with dry humour, not a woke, feel good marvel movie. And yes, I liked Inquisition. The game had a trans character, yes, but it was handled actually rather well, and the way Iron Bull described it was rather apt for the setting, basically just saying that pissing while standing doesn't make you a warrior and left it at that.
I was really looking forward to more Dragon Age after finishing the last DLC of inquisition, but now I'm just done with the series. It's fine. It ended in a cliffhanger, but it's over.
Veilguard, even in the terms of gameplay looks like a fucking downgrade from inquisition, and on top of that has a story full of Marvel humour and woke propaganda. Why even give it a chance if you actually like Dragon Age? Nothing about it looks good.
But Vara you can’t talk negative about this game or the Dragon Age community will come after you 🤭
All 5 of them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man after the lockdowns we’ve been getting so soooooo many bad games from the US. Creativity lost? Priorities lost? Maybe a bit of Column A and Column B. Just remaster the old Dragon Age games or play Inquisition over this slop-
Why would those characters even need breast removal surgery when the breast are barely there?
Forcing someone to like something only makes them hate it more. It's like they know it is bad, but it is too late to pull the plug, and now it needs to be sold by any means for the studio to not get closed from the lack of revenues.
Lol, from No tits up to No tits, thats the Dragon Gayge offering
Healing magic, or medieval barber-surgeon? Man healing magic sounds so convenient, but battling septic infections sounds like so much fun.
They want to be another gender irl, but won't play as one in a fantasy game?.
Top surgery scar but no voluptuous body parts? Ok I'm out. That maxed out breast and butt slider was a huge miss bioware. There's more than just flat chests and butts out there.
"This is the BioWare comeback fans wanted". What fans? Where? I saw all the trans stuff and knew the game was another self insert money burning party. I'm just shocked they didn't put a Palestinian flag anywhere in the game.
I have aero issue with them adding these kinds of things, because at the end of the day they don't matter.
What matters' is the gameplay & the story.
& we all know that if they're raving about how good the pronoun selection is or how you can have scars from a surgery (that most people having actually had that surgery probably wouldn't want to admit to having had in the first place. I mean seriously, they'd want to appear as if that was their normal body & not the result of surgery in most cases wouldn't they?) & saying nothing whatsoever about how well the game plays or how engrossing the story is It's probably because those latter things aren't present in any meaningful manner.
I have no doubt that the game will sell on brand recognition, but honestly, who is expecting it to actually be good at this point?
ive watched like 10 of those hands on reviews from different people - and i dont believe a damn one of them
the further it strays away from origins the worst DA becomes
its a dark fantasy not a high fantasy
Do they have a C-section scar option? There might be some nonbinary "birthing parents" that will feel excluded.
Bioware died a long time ago and became Biowoke.
Bioware: Everyone is focused on Concord we can sneak ours by
Sony: Concord is cancelled we are shutting it down
Bioware: Shit
Frankly, as someone in the "target demo" (though in the opposite direction, as it were), this reeks of two things: fetishization, and the second, which I think is even more relevent, a desperate attempt to draw attention away from a crappy product.
Seriously, without the political pandering/virtue signaling, there is nothing to distract from the reality that this character creator is simply terrible. I mean, c'mon, the sliders for things like butt do barely anything, the overall aesthetic looks like a Fortnight clone and comparing this to BDO (as Vara does) shows this is a shamefully poor showing form any company 10 years after BDO came out.
BioWare is not trying to "represent" anyone, they are shamelessly using people with problems as a shield from criticism. It's repulsive, not brave.
Dragons Dogma 2' character creator is pretty amazing also!
If they sacrificed charecter creator they sacrificed story charecters an everything else
to be honest, i had to double check when i heard about thos whole scar thing.
Then when i saw it.... i thought breast cancer.
You'll know who the shills are when they vouch for, of all things, a very restrictive and unimpressive character creator.
that´s exactly it, NOBODY would care if you just take a generic scar and move that around like decals and adjust it with your own creativity to make it look like surgery scars, if you want that as a player go for it.. that would have been the way around the fact that trans characters in a setting with transformation and transfiguration magic, obviously wouldn´t have surgery scars. but doing that wouldn´t be such an obvious virtue signaling timequare, they don´t care that, this along with their other bullsh*t completely breaks any resemblance of immersion.
Not that it would be needed, but if you could have just one example that these people don´t care in the slightest about games and gaming and are instead 100% religious zealots, this would be it.
"You can have any of these cool character styles!"
Yes, I could also play Baldur's Gate 3 and get them +
I wonder if this will kill the Mass effect.
It's already hanging by a thread. MEAndromeda appealed to the sandbox crowd, but not the greater Mass Effect fanbase. If this is what BioWare is moving forward with, it's a red flag for the next Mass Effect that's supposed to revitalize the franchise.
Hopefully BioWare is shut down for good before they manage to ruin another franchise for good
OG dragonage fan here. bought every dlc/game and ive even read all the books about the lore. listen please:
10 years ago in dragon age inquisition , we had dorian (gay) we had commander cullen (gay) we had iron bull (bi) and we had lesbian and trans characters in the game as well. but we loved them all... (my most favorite friends in the game were cullen and dorian and solas)
im not against NATURAL diversity and options... but THIS fkin new DRAG-age failgard... is a betrayal for the ages...
how far youve fallen bioware...
Same.
And they don't even realize that they're ruining everything the prior games did with diversity.
I dont recall Cullen being Gay. But yeah you are pretty much on point on that.
@@Dysjongyeah i dont remember cullen being gay.
Nevermind Cullen is off the game due to bioware HATING the voice actor cause he is a conservative
Just finished Inquisition a few days ago. Cullen wasn't gay but otherwise he's mostly right.
Some other things is that Bioware have always done LGBT stuff since at least Jade Empire possibly earlier and they used to be more than just that
I remember Trainor and Cortez from Mass Effect 3 and they weren't just a lesbian or a gay member on the Normandy.
Even Dorian wasn't just a gay character because he was how we found out a lot about how the Tevinter Imperium was including their version of slavery being more like Romans and less like well what most people think slavery is.
Then somewhere since Mass Effect 3 they've made LGBT tokens instead of characters.
You saw it early with Krem who was Iron Bull's second in command that was Trans and somehow the Qun of all things accepted that even though Qunari had actual gender roles.
And Krem was just Trans there wasn't a character just representation and all this became shallow.
That's a reason why Bioware is getting so much criticism over this. They use to do that whole representation thing they care so much about right in their older titles.
Now everyone even people that don't play Bioware games see just how hollow all the representation Veil Guard has is now because they don't have the talent to do right.
And if the promo material Bioware is releasing now is this bad imagine how bad the gameplay and writing is going to be on release?
An option like this only works in a modern day setting, if it were in a saint’s row game, it’d be appropriate at least. This is a game in a setting where magic exists and medical advancements don’t - If anyone was going to transition it would be through magic. At that point any references to transgenderism would have to be allegorical, but they were too uncreative to think of a way to do that so they just plopped it down and didn’t think how to justify it.
Bingo. Characters are just objects.
I already have a large game library and backlog. More and more games are coming out that im interested in and i have a limited budget, so at this point I'm almost looking for any reason to not purchase a title.
It may seem silly to not buy a game because of some character creator options i could easily ignore, but as the red flags pile up this new Dragon Age has been put on the "meh" or "maybe when it's $10" pile.
Metaphor ReFantazio still looking amazing for this month. Saving my money for that i think.
I can't wait to see the budget for this. The post-release YT content should be glorious
Apparently, i don't have scars on my chest or pronouns on my bio, so i guess I'm not the target audience for this game,so not represented, no buy
Yeah they keep saying representation is important. Great, so no representation for me = no buy
I looked up the ign person who praisdd for that character creation and they look exactly how they speak and feel about it. It's so easy to predict what these people are just based on how they act and look nowadays.
You know what really would have sold the game?
If they had options for circumcision / uncircumcised.
The "no ass, no boobs, too big head" stuff will get fixed with mods in a week. The woke stuff? Yes, that does not have a fix.
I have never seen a bunch of people more hell bent on ensuring they will not get a cent of my money
I'm neither a DA fan nor do i have top scar or whatever so i'm definitely not the target.
I was a BioWare fan but I have lost all give a F about this game and game company.
It’s ma’am = No buy
And the journalists wonder why all gamers love things like, space marines 2, wukong, stellarblade, once human, and the lolipop remaster. Its called... MAKE A FUCKING VIDEO GAME NOT A PANDER CHECKLIST
I wouldn't be shocked if they had somewhere in the game a doctor who performed top surgery.
Pandering to the alphabet mafia is only a minor annoyance to me. What bothers me most about their "the most inclusive" narrative is that it's a lie, being unable to make a female character that looks naturally, feminine is proof enough of that.
If you like gaming drama, we got early christmas.
First Concord, then Play Station Pro. Now we get Dragon Age: Wokeguard.
Please slow down, I can't stop laughing.
I wonder what comes next.
Let them fail. Let them loose more money honestly the best thing we can do is see how much of this "MODERN AUDIENCE " actually buys this damn game. Know I'm not.
I really enjoyed Dragon Age: DreadWolf title. But Veilguard is too broken. Dragon Age: Failguard the greatest failure of all time.
Thanks again for pointing 😂 the hypocrisy
"PROFIT REASSIGNMENT SURGERY"😂😂😂
Man thats such a great point. If they had say a scars option and you could place the scars wherever on the body that would be one thing. But they knew what they were doing putting *that* type of scar front and center.
U see what they’re doing right? They are trying to flood the search results (google) with positive headlines about the character creation to censor and drown out the backlash to the people and UA-camrs speaking against it. Its why they ALL use the same headlines just worded a little differently (sometimes not even then just straight up use the same terms).
Nice try. Nobody supports custom options that have no gameplay effect. Picking pronouns and scars is more useless than Koiking itself from Pokémon.
I don't play Dragon Age so i dont know the worle, but isnt this a world where magic exists?
If so, why not use magic to change your sex instead of having a surgery in what i assume is not a sanitary operation.
I wonder the developers might have never seen a real woman before.
