Dragon Age: The Veilguard game director leaving BioWare
www.eurogamer.net
UPDATE 4pm UK: Dragon Age game director Corinne Busche has now confirmed her departure from BioWare and EA in a stateme…

It’s tough to express how much of a bummer this whole mess has been. Veilguard is such an embarrassingly lazy, shallow experience.

Placing all of the blame on Busche isn’t fair, as she was brought in at the end of the development process, but it was her leadership that prevented the game from getting the extra time it needed.

The creative and design aspects of the game’s failure falls primarily on John Epler’s lap.

BioWare was so special for such a long time. Watching them fumble the ball directly into the deepest part of the toilet three times in a row feels completely insane.

Fuck EA forever, man.

    They say a character is badly written (B), but really they find the queer subject matter uncomfortable (A)

    I think both is true. I said it in another comment, but veilguard is just not the correct environment for this type of character arc. It doesn’t have anything to do with being queer, a pubescent teenager who acts like a dick all the time would be equally annoying. People just don’t want to play with annoying characters.

    This topic would be great for a dontnod game that could appropriatly handle that topic - not an RPG.

      Was Morrigan popular when da:o was new? She’s an extremely edgy teenager.

      I really don’t think queer stuff needs to be banished from the realm of RPGs.
