Admit it - at this point every character they're going to show is going to be lynched by you guys. You don't even know what is going to satisfy you. You just turn to blind hate
>>250017415
There's a metaphor in here.
It's Bioware's cognitive dissonance regarding how shit they've become. On the one hand they're absolute garbage. On the other they keep telling themselves they're good.
what the fucks going on with his face? Does he have some kind of syndrome?
Something looks wrong with his head. Like the forehead area.
>>250017415
What the flying fuck is wrong with his eyes/face? It looks like his hair was stapled on.
>>250017838
>this guy
>>250017838
Some better writing would be a nice start. Of course I'm going to dislike a character made to pander to the emo teenager crowd.
>>250017415
>that fucking face
I don't understand why people are actually looking forward to this game.
Should I just start accusing everyone of being marketers now that try and say this game will be good?
hey guys check out this SICK halo 2 montage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SurvgJUicMg
>>250018109
Example of good writing? What sort of characters with what sort of drive and backstory would you like?
Will he homosex? This will be a deciding factor on whether I will buy the extreme limited SJW edition or not.
Reminder that this is Gaider's shitty self insert.
>>250017838

banner pls
>>250017838
I want you to take a minute and look at its hair. Remember that this is a game developed by a team of 100+ people, and it's developing budget is around the millions of dollars.
It looks like he's wearing a burlap sack on his head.
>>250017838
At this point I'd settle for anything new or interesting, but the only thing that qualifies so far is MEATHARD MANHUGE, and we already had that in the last Bioware disaster.
What is going on with his hair? Is it like a back to front comb over?
>>250017415
God damn look at that ratchet rat's nest hair

>He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds. He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again. Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed… and Cole isn't certain that he does exist. He is a spirit, impossibly caught between the immaterial realm of the Fade and the confusing realities of our physical world, but does that make him real? Does it make him human or a demonic pretender, as some believe?
>All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain and he must find his place within it. Those who wish to restore order and help the helpless will find him a strange but unwavering ally. Those who use their power for selfish reasons may never see Cole again—if they remember that he was there to begin with.
>>250018442
I wasn't saying that this particular one is going to be the best fucking one, I was just saying that it doesn't matte anymore for you what is it.
looks like Cole has a case of Steve Buscemi eyes
>>250018630
Is that taken from a Linkin Park song?

ACTUAL QOUTE FROM GAYDERS 500 PAGE BOOK
>>250017838
You're saying that like it's unjustified.
Post ONE interesting and not fucked up looking character with their little blurb being well written and again, interesting, then you can talk about "blind hate".
Looking at shit things and calling them shit is the complete opposite of blind.
>>250017838
>blind hate
>>250018630
Replace a few words and it can be Cole the Hedgehod on deviant art
>>250018778
Official character bio Bioware proudly put on the official page
Is he gay or not?
>>250018630
Holy shit... I can't believe this isn't a joke.
>>250017838
Never go full Bioware.
>>250018968
Nigga should stop using Pert and get a real conditioner like Garnier Fructis
>>250018794
So now every psychologically tortured characters are "emo" and "edgy" shite?
Alrighty then...
>>250018630
There is no way that description is real.
It reads like one of these Deviantart "original character" pics that get posted around here.
>>250017415
He is being written by Tali's writer.
>>250018630
>He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again
fuckin fanfic quality right there
>>250017415
>Imagine trying to find out the truth about what you are and never being sure that you can trust the answer...
So, tranny confirmed?
>>250018630
Is this the actual fucking writing?
>>250018630
That's just so bad, I honestly can't imagine why they would think this would be good in any sort of way.
Did Bioware ever have any decent character writers or were i just blind to it for years?
>>250018630
>He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again.
Is there a single character in this game so far that isn't "nothing personnel, kid" tier?
>>250018630
wait a minute
>>250018630
Not only is that Deviantart quality fanfiction writing, but is that a fucking guy or a chick?
>>250019257
So he's bottom of the barrel should let die on the collector ship tier then?
>>250017838
We've been put in that position by an endless stream of characters being forced into games just to "represent" certain groups.
Bioware are so fucking condescending to minorities that it's genuinely noteworthy
>>250019206
I swear, Bioware is pushing this "dark fantasy" thing so hard it wraps around and becomes vampirefreaks/Gaia Online/DeviantART-tier. I just can't take it seriously.
>New Bioware.gif
>people will buy this game
>>250018292
Everyone's a fag or a dyke.
SO progressive. SO brave.
>>250017838
If they use magic or are an abomination, I will make it my mission to literally have them lynched, yes. My inquisition will show no mercy to dirty dumb mage scum.
>>250018630
>>250018794
This is absolutely hilarious. It's like the writer realized this was going to be shit anyway and just phoned it in.
Jesus christ it's actually real
I don't know what to fucking say
![Auron-auron-7276407-345-336[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/tghjnmf.jpg "Auron-auron-7276407-345-336[1].jpg")
>>250017415
So whats the difference between Cole and Auron then?
>>250019369
wow that directly correlates to the quality of the games.
>>250018630
>>250018630
Why the hell would you release this?Didn't anyone take a look at this?
>>250017415
It looks like he had wet hair with a hat on and took it off.
Also
>a concept artist gave this a go
>a moddeler gave this a go
>the art director gave this a go
And a bunch of other people involved in creating this abomination. No one thought this was a bad idea. This is what happens when 300+ people work on a game
Bioware a shit
>this shit passes in the AAA
Man a writing job really would be easy to get.
>>250019751
Those ellipsis shouldn't be there.
>imagine trying the find the truth about what you are and never being sure if you can trust the answer
sounds like an allegory for trans/gender identity shit
>>250019807
One looks like a faggot wearing a burlap sack for hair, and the other is the best character in their game.
Aside from the hideous faces of characters, what the FUCK is up with their hair? It's so horribly done.
>>250019751
>someone was given actual, real currency in exchange for writing this
>>250017838
You just said it, Bioware fucks up so many times at this point the only thing they will get is blind hate
>>250019530
>Nobody knows, not even xhe.
>>250019895
Funny thing is, it probably passed through a number of checks.
The AAA is rivaling the movie industry in being out of touch.
>>250019807
We'll start, and end here >>250019751
>>250018630
I honestly think the fucking hat is better than the character itself.
>>250018630
>He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there
So what
Does every other assassin in this setting make sure their presence is known first before they start throat slitting?
>>250019807
Auron is cool and not mopey.
Whatever happened to designing fun characters?
>>250018630
>>250020018
>>250019751
I don't see the problem. At least with the concept. He's a wandering ghost or some shit.
>>250019152
psychologically tortured character =/= teenage girl tier writing
>>250020226
Fun characters don't crawl in their skin.
>>250020226
Fun isn't art anon, don't be so silly.
>>250020226
"Fun characters are for children."
This is seriously the mindset of the industry.
>>250017838
>You don't even know what is going to satisfy you.
Good game would satisfy me, but
>bioware
>>250019751
What the fuck.
I can't even... What? Christ.
>>250017838
>>250020265
Concept is decent but the description is horrible.
>>250017415
>>250017415
Hair looks like play dough raked with a comb.
Dropped.
>>250020265
He's being described by as 14 year old poet.
>>250018292
He's Gaiders boytoy he has said that Cole shall remain pure and people that want to sleep with him are odd.
In the book about him he kills mages who want to commit suicide and only mages who want to die can see him to everyone else he's invisible. He tells people to look into his eyes before he kills them. He is also undead or something like that maybe possesed.
I'm surprised there hasn't been any Pain edits yet.
/v/ pls
He's obviously put in the game to represent the bug eyed burlap sack hairstyle with a dark past crowd
check your privilege
Holy shit he looks like such a faggot.
>>250018281
how about not making a character that feels like it ripped straight from deviant art tween fanfics.
>ghost in the shadows
>can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again
>Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed
>All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain
>Those who use their power for selfish reasons may never see Cole again—if they remember that he was there to begin with.
this is shit is retarded and reeks of creative writing you'd see in highschool.
fuck off you bioware cocksucker
>
His hair looks like a fucking burlap sap
>>250020265
Why is he so corporeal and 2004 era emo looking? Instead of being a spooky ghost who only finds enjoyment in scaring people and just slits throats to pay for rent or something.
so, has anyone who read the DA book he appears in explain who this character is?
the description they gave him on the DA:I site is vague as shit
>>250018630
>>250017415
>>250019751
Why does he have the same hair as that REvelations girl with absurd tits had?
To what purpose, Bioware?And we had a spirit trapped outside of Fade already.
>>250018281
One that's not ripped straight from a Korn album.
Why is it so hard for them to make decent companions. It's as if they're trying to make them as annoying as possible.
that hair is fucking gross
reminds me of the kids that never wash their hair and show up for work
>>250020643
Is that shit real? Sounds like those Sonic the Self-Insert Mary Sue-Hog pieces of shit.
I can't believe I had to edit this old image.
Is Emo "in" again?
>>250020643
This sounds fucking terrible
>>250017415
>>250018442
that thing is hair? I just looked at the thumbnail and assumed it was some sort of cap
>>250020826
>>250020774
>Instead of being a spooky ghost who only finds enjoyment in scaring people and just slits throats to pay for rent or something.
Now THIS would be edgy. From the description, he seems to be someone who prefers to do good.
He LOOKS fucking retarded, but I wouldn't say that the concept doesn't have a bit of potential. Not that I have any faith in Bioware, mind.
>>250020826
>>250020826
I can't even tell the difference it's like poetry.
>>250020826
fucking saved
There's literally NOTHING wrong with listening to Linking Park.
>>250020826
10/10
I for one, am extremely excited to form a party consisting of moist black frogwoman, Bugeyes McThousandyardstare, and obligatory gay character #3.
>>250019807
Nigger you did not.
> Cole: Sometimes I feel like I'm under water, and I'll never get out again...
> Auron: Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
>>250021106
don't make me bring in the /mu/tants.
>>250019940
If you were actually good at writing you'd get movie studios and book publishers pounding on your door.
There's a reason why video games only get fanfic writers and movie rejects.
>>250021106
except that it makes you an emo-pleb
>>250020826
The best parodies are the ones almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Good job.
>>250017415
I just want to play fun games with fun. Remember fun?
>>250021106
seriously ?
>>250021106
I guess not. Doesn't change the fact that they express emotions like an adolescant.
>>250018630
This can't be real.
Holy fuck it is.
>>250020917
It never went out
>>250017415
What the fuck happened to bioware? Every fucking character is uglier than the other.
>>250021210I'm already here.
Either way it's cool if he wants to listen to LP but I will forever associate it with angsty high school kids.
>>250020826
This is strangely fitting
>Cole
I thought this was a fantasy universe
>>250021214
Well I'm trying to get into books, and would love to sell scripts for dosh but the possibility of my shit being bastardized makes me gross.
Also I'll never finish anything, so theres that.
>>250021059
>bored ghost just scraping by and laughing his ass of at the easily scared
>somehow edgier than
>I KILL PEOPLE WHO DESERVE TO DIE, A BLADE IN THE SHADOWS, WHO AM I, WHAT AM I, DO I REALLY EXIST, THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD
Shit nigger, you might just be a shill.
>>250021395
Good looking characters are offensive, anon
From what I've heard the animations are really mediocore.
Notice how in the trailers they usually cut before anything really moves.
>>250020826
Don't forget to sign it. Don't want people stealing your characters.
>>250021279
Yeah, DA never fun.
It's not nearly as bad as it looks.
But anyway maybe this is a good thing, you guys will go in expecting a complete piece of shit and get something decent.
>>250018630
Holy shit dat character design and blurb...
Bioware what the fuck are you doing.
>>250020826
>no "likes: linkin park" or something
needs improvement
Jesus what a fucking faggot I can't wait to either kill him off or send him back to his world of pain after pirating this game
Emo characters are for unadjusted bitchmade titty babby permanergins
>>250018630

?
>>250021549
Real subtle.
6/10 bait. You'll get someone.
>>250018630
That has to be one of the worst characters I've ever heard about
![cole-gallery-1[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NDgy8v2.jpg "cole-gallery-1[2].jpg")
looking at the other characters but there's no way anyone can top this guy
>>250017415
>>250021658
Do you hate the witcher too? Planescape torment?
>>250021106
Music is okay in some songs.
Lyrics are beyond retarded.
What the fuck happened to BioWare's IP department?
KOTOR was first class. ME1 was good enough.
But then it turned to shit with Dragon Age and following games. I'm not even that annoyed by all the LBGT stuff,
>>250021549
>you guys will go in expecting a complete piece of shit and get something decent
I expect something decent but with shit characters and a mediocre story.
And from what I've seen, it's exactly what we'll get.
>>250021708
1 dimensional characters is what he's referring to.
AAA and many others can't into depth.
A ghost assassin with an existential crisis is a pretty awesome concept. Leave it up to Bioware to turn it into shit.
>>250020226
Fun doesn't sell.
>>250021702
>>250021467
>being goodlooking is now offending therefore forbidden
>same with big tits
>>250021790
What the fuck is with his hair
So does the staff just go around circlejerking each other are employees afraid of saying anything negative out of fear of being branded some kind of a 'phobe'?
>>250017415
he looks like a fucking methhead
>>250021790
He looks like a character from those early 90s games where pre rendered 3D looked incredibly awful
>>250020826
>see this while scrolling
>look at what it's a reply to
Is this shit serious? Fucking hell Bioware.
>>250021549
Nice try David.
>>250021805
CAN'T UNSEE
>>250021824
EA bought them
he's the homosexual love interest
>>250017415
>Cole
Why are so many characters in video games named Cole? That and Alex, Desmond, or Mason. Combine those and you've got like 90% of of western protagonist names.
>>250021790
Are those chain sandals he's wearing?
>>250017415
oh, yeah. And he's gay.
>>250021960
It's like years of going unwashed congealed it into some sort of felt-like substance.
Fucking gross, really.
>>250021914
I know that too well.
>>250022003
It's more out of fear for being fired for being insensitive.
THEESE WOOOOOUNDS THEY WILLLL NOT HEEEEAAAAALLLLL
fuck you
>>250018630
Well, shit. Looks like Donte was finally topped.
>>250021805
>>250021708
>>250021887
That, and the fact that Linkin Park's lyrics are incredibly shallow but with a veil of depth.
Like a teenager trying to sound deep. They don't actually have enough life experience to really be insightful.
>>250020889
unwashed emo boys are the cutest
>>250022140
Them's sequins, baby. You wish you were this fabulous.
>>250022003
I always imagine Bioware as a giant Portlandia sketch.
>ARE YOU A BOY
>OR A GURL?
Jesus. You'd think after the DA:O "THIS IS THE NEW SHIT!" marketing debacle, they would've learned how to lead up a proper marketing campaign.
>>250022109
No he isnt he's gaider self insert and he doesnt want people bumming him in game.
>>250022109
Son, all of them are the homosexual love interest.
>>250022051
It kind of looks like his skull is caved in
Someone post the weapons.
Can't find the weapons.
>>250022228
Eh, find me someone who can top Haze and you'll get a cookie.
>>250017415
I think I'd be fine with all of this if his hair didn't look terrible.
>>250021790
Those patterns, that stitcing, the fucking shoes. This shit doesn't match culturally with medieval fantasy. It literally looks like Tumblr designed this character.
>>250022295
I', a burl, and I don't appreciate you trying to pigeon-hole me
>>250017415
I dunno. They seem to be going for something but failing. Like, they're trying too hard to make it dark and gloomy but end up being boring. The descriptions of the characters aren't painful to read because they're edgy but instead because they're super boring and clichéd.
Isn't writing/storytelling supposed to be BioWare's strong suit? The thing that people praise them for?
>>250021790
What a fuccboi
The characters in this game are shockingly ugly. Dragon Age 2, as incredibly shitty as it was, at least had some more or less attractive character models. What the hell happened? Doesn't Bioware want to attract the waifu/husbando crowd?
>>250021790
>Pants designed for boots
>He's wearing fucking sandles
>In the middle of the fucking desert
It's cool. It's not like snakes go for the ankles.
Nope.
>>250022406
The thing with Haze is that his egdiness is so over the top that it becomes endearing.
>Cole
Awful name.
>>250021790
>This was an approved character design
who the fuck is working at bioware
>Bioware will make him romanceable
>>250017415
Wtf is wrong with his hair ? Srsly /v/ its like dog shit.
would you rather have cole or donte
you have to pick
>>250022528
HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT NOTICE THAT
JESUS CHRIST
>>250022528
He a special spirit type man, no snakes ain't gonna harm him.
>>250017415
>Hey guys I just played a Final Fantasy game, the hair was amazing. Can we do something like that?
>Sure. Check out Cole
>>250022154
Don't remind me, you bastard. That was the hypest trailer at that year's E3.
>>250021395
Bioware is way more weeboo than they used to be. It started really showing itself in DA2, well full fucking throttle in ME3 with the space ninja, and they're doing some kind of weird "in-between" here with DA:O with their weaboo shit.
They want to be eastern developers so badly, but they suck at it.
>>250021790
Why does he have belts everywhere
>>250022558
Well, that's trueFile 2 soon
>>250017838
Fuck off Jessica.

>Burl
Don't you mean
AGoy?
>>250022473
They're exploring different standards of beaty with the women.
But the men are either super handsome twinks or bear mode beefcakes. Even the dwarf is handsome
>>250021790
>we want the Square Enix audience
>>250017415
>>250022154
This still hurts
>>250021960
his hair is trapped between worlds too
>>250021790
is this /fa/ personified?
>>250019967
It definitely shows bioware's grap on English prose. If you claim to be a writer and don't know how to properly use an ellipsis then please just fucking stop
>>250022528
>Sandles
>Literally invented in, and for, the desert
Character's shit mate, but keep up
>>250022438
The thing is, they seem to lack actual writing talent, or editors now.
It's going to be morepainfulwhen we find out he lost his true love or mom.
Bioware might as well outsource to Japan since they like ripping off cheesy JRPG tropes.
>>250022842
>>250017415
Hey, BioWare
Obsidian called and said that you can keep the terrible redesign and that the edgy re-write of the lore is terrible.
let it begin
>>250022806
Please stop, you're oppressing me, all I want is to be accepted by the video game community and also to be able to tell everyone in it what to think and feel
Is that really too much to ask?
>>250022528
I think whoever designs the outfits for the game does it while being heavily drunk.
>>250018630
>>250020826
>>250021790
>>250022896
Really, all it needs now is a hel-looks watermark.

Shit, I feel second hand embarrassment from reading this, how can the person writing this, think this is good enough to be released to the public. And people get payed to write this shit. Truly mind boggling .
>>250018680
What's wrong with Steve~chans eyes?
>>250018630

But that's what assassin's do...
>>250021790

I have no idea how they're cramming this many fucking terrible bits of writing and design into one game.
It's almost as if they're doing this on purpose. Just compare TESO, which is just bad in a boring way, compared to the Tortanic, which is a fucking parade of unintentionally funny stuff.

>implying
Implying this isn't a ruse by gaider. You go in expecting the worst character and he delivers the best.
He's taking all the EMO tropes , mocking them and completely subverting them you dumb idiots.
