"I'm Damn Proud Of It And The Team"
Following Bloomberg's report on The Veilguard, former level design supervisor Brian J. Audette took to Bluesky to share their thoughts on everything it revealed. Audette's response actually happened some time ago, but it's resurfaced thanks to a recent post on the Dragon Age subreddit from Redditor AversionIncarnate.

In his reply, Audette said that he refutes the claims that BioWare made a "bad or compromised game" and that the team actually made the "best version of what we released, warts and all". Audette also stated that he's proud of what the team put together, and that they couldn't have "made a better Dragon Age", only a different one.

Note
"I refute that we made a bad or compromised game. We made the best version of what we released, warts and all."
— Brian J. Audette

Alongside that, Audette also pointed out that The Veilguard is still the best-reviewed game that he's worked on in his 25-year career. Despite Audette's claims, the Dragon Age subreddit seems pretty mixed on his viewpoints, noting that level design was one of the many issues in The Veilguard and that it was still a disappointment overall.

He's right. If you actually know about the development of this game you would know this is the best thing they've got out of the original pitch and I'm being 100% unironic.

>only a different one
One that people actually want to play, aka troonerfag-free?
Might been worth a try.

i dont care

Imagine getting an easy out for while your game failed and still saying "nah, we couldn't make anything better than what we shat out."

>Higherups cancelled their original project in 2017 following Anthem and Andromeda flopping

>Story is clusterfuck by default because retarded writers wanted a heckin epic moment for DA Inquisition
>Stuck in development hell for so long and change directors multiple times
>Final reboot was 18 months of development to change the entire game's structure + story
If anything, they didn't give themselves enough credit for delivering the game.

What if they actually made the sequels like Origins?

Such a sadness.

Cared enough to post again.

I care. What about it?

>>713745009
Get fucked then lmao

>>713743789 (OP)
But they made a better Dragon Age three times before

>>713744685
nta but nice try, retard. A bad game is still a bad game at the end of the day. Nobody fucking cares about their struggles. BioWare is in shambles thanks to their own incompetence.
> they couldn't have "made a better Dragon Age", only a different one.
That just means they aren't only incompetent but also delusional. They had 7 fucking years to figure out the game, and they still failed.

>>713745345
Very debatable since Veilguard actually has an intuitive gameplay which was never beeen the case since 2

>>713745441
The gameplay of Pacman is even more intuitive. I wouldn't call it the best RPG on the market, though.

>>713745441
who the fuck cares
nobody likes the story or the characters and they spent millions on it

>>713745397
>Nobody fucking cares about their struggles
I do. Unlike you, I'm not an immature man child who ignores context just because a game was le bad
>BioWare is in shambles thanks to their own incompetence
Surely that wasn't the case for Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem. No Veilguard is the only game that showed pure Bioware incompetence (despite it being the most polished game they've released since ME2)

>>713745638
People who play video games? I suggest you watch movies if you want no gameplay

>>713745830
Go back to Kotaku, The Gamer or any of the other shiltholes you work for, journo, and asslick the devs there.

>>713745930
Is Pacman the greatest RPG ever or not, anon?

>>713745397
>>713744685
Which is worse then? Failing for years and still releasing a game or do the exact same shit and get project cancelled. Not saying it can't be both but it seems (and confirmed by the article in OP) that the only real difference is the former knows how to suck enough cock to make it that far in the Corpo.

Ah, shut the fuck up with that bullshit. There are thousands of VG companies producing thousands of games per year. Why should I care about any of them? They are delivering the product, and I'm giving them money for that; that's it. If they can't do that, maybe they shouldn't fucking exist and instead become a cautionary tale for the rest of the industry.

So the higher ups also forced them to nuke half the setting, add in all those shitty ugly characters, put in trash and it’s retarded companion quest, and add a 11th hour villain faction that was totally behind everything in the setting? You faggots are so fucking pathetic, I swear to god.

That's just the collateral damage of Dragon Age Inquisition DLC. Lucky for you they could do a soft reboot now so you're finally going to get the Dragon Age game you've been dreaming about since 2008

>>713747267
More like you’re trying to push their cope and to defend them saying that they’re not actually shit at their job, just put in a bad position. When in reality these are the same people that failed their way upwards and make nothing but shit. Patrick Weeks is the same faggot that made Celene gay and decided to retcon Eamon as having two dads because some retard fucked up naming a castle. These retards don’t deserve respect. You don’t get an A for effort when you do nothing but shit your pants and make garbage. Especially when you try to say it was good in the weeks following only to go quiet when sales finally come in.

>>713747675
Bet you're fuming behind that post

>>713747675
NTA but seething replies like this don’t really serve your argument favorably, dumb nigger.

>>713748000
>That's just the collateral damage of Dragon Age Inquisition DLC
No it fucking wasn’t, Solas was supposed to be the main villain not the fucking elven gods and the fucking mystery niggas aren’t mentioned anywhere in the DLC and are only brought up in a fucking War Table mission and the shitty Tevinter nights novel.
>Lucky for you they could do a soft reboot now so you're finally going to get the Dragon Age game you've been dreaming about since 2008
You mean with the discount reapers? Kill yourself you pathetic faggot.

>>713748118
>they’re not actually shit at their job, just put in a bad position
I do because if you read about Bioware you would know the studio is a mismanaged mess starting with ME3
>When in reality these are the same people that failed their way upwards and make nothing but shit. Patrick Weeks
A writer on DAO and ME1, nothing but shit is a bit of stretch don't you think?

When the game has nonbinary characters, it gets nonbuynary players

>>713748348
>NTA
Sure. Kill yourself.

>>713744685
Nobody doubts it had a fucked development but the game was mocked because of what they chose to do, not what they couldn't. The content that made it was incredibly cringe. No amount of dev time would've made Taash's plot interesting to the average gamer.

>>713748546
>I do because if you read about Bioware you would know the studio is a mismanaged mess starting with ME3
Gee it’s almost like it’s not mismanagement at that point and they all just fucking suck?
>A writer on DAO and ME1
In what fucking capacity? That’s like saying Cuckman is the writer for TLOU but was heavily tardwrangled. But I see you’re just going to do everything to pull damage control for your sacred trannytard.

>>713748000

You mean where it’s implied where you’re going to stop him from opening the veil and not skip right to it? You fucking idiot, and there are no mystery niggas mentioned so how about you stop trying to play this like I’m ignorant and actually argue. Or are you incapable because so far all you’ve done is talk out of your ass.

>>713748828
>it’s not mismanagement
Again, do you research about the studio you claimed to love and find better reasons to hate them rather than "they all just fucking suck"
>In what fucking capacity?
Mordin, Tali, Jack, Kasumi. Though you mentioned him in the first place even though I think he's partially at fault for being a lead who drank his own kool-aid

>>713749287
>him from opening the veil and not skip right to it?
That's what happens in the intro of Veilguard. And I see you didn't mention the elven gods either.

>>713749417
> Again, do you research
So you have no argument and you’re just going to say I don’t know what I’m talking about to cope?
>Mordin, Tali, Jack, Kasumi
Not DA characters, so again what capacity did he write for DA aside from the shit I already mentioned.

Yes shilltranny all of the disgusting cringy wokeshit like the non-buynary Qunari was definitely not their fault. Nothing was ever the devs fault.

>>713749591
>So you have no argument and you’re just going to say I don’t know what I’m talking about to cope?
You're repeating the same tired generalized points. All devs sucks blah blah the main writer was always bad blah blah, nothing to dimiss the actual fact of the project being a clusterfuck.

Is there actually someone in this thread unironically defending this clusterfuck of a game that all but destroyed the studio? lol. lmao even

>>713749763
>but destroyed the studio?
We're not discussing Anthem though

>>713749558
>That's what happens in the intro of Veilguard
Yes which is one of the reasons why it’s retarded, not to mention he talked about the veil being broken being the event in of itself that killed everyone not just the south getting blight nuked by the fucking Evanuris or it actually being about saving everyone which goes against what he said in the fucking cutscene you posted.
> And I see you didn't mention the elven gods either
I mean he doesn’t mention them in the cutscene. He just says he’s the one that’s going to do it.

>>713749850
DA2, ME3, Tortanic, Anthem, Andromeda, Veilguard, it's just hit after hit with these guys. I do hope EA keeps letting them pump out games.

>>713749763
there's a lot of trannies in 4chan so it's not a surprise

>>713749754
So again you have no actual argument to defend their skill as writers so you’re coping by saying the argument isn’t good while not being able to actually refute it. Oh and still nothing on weeks work on DAO. How about you fuck off and go cry about trannyguard failing and the staff getting shitcanned somewhere else. I’m sure you’ll be back to cry when whatever shitheap they call the next mass effect is announced.

this is what I don't understand. First game did such a great job, and every sequel keeps fucking everything up

>>713749763
You should have been here when it came out, it was fucking hillarious. Just thread after thread of trannies going apeshit saying it succeeded and spamming ship art.

>>713750373
It’s a two pronged issue, EA is retarded and keeps having trend chasing involve. And the writers went apeshit and just went full retard so by the time inquisition came out they were going full idpol shit.

I hope for his own sake that he's lying.

I can both at the same time feel bad for the devs there who knew they were on a sinking ship the whole time trying to still make the best of it and feel that since the pitch of "Multiplayer Dragon Age" this was a fucking terrible idea.

>>713751124
They made shit and you’re coping. They’re part of the reason why it was sinking. Fuck off and take your bullshit else where. Or better yet jump into a noose.

DA:O wasn't a particularly deep tactical rpg, but I would bet any sum of money that it was too hard on easiest settings for their playtesters.

>>713743789 (OP)
Why couldn't they have just made a Dragon Age about the First Blight? That gives you room to work with a post apocalyptic setting, ancient heroes, and a plot that gives you an excuse to travel the world building allies and searching for a way to end the blight.

Case in point, a good reason for why everyone despises people like you and those devs. You just can't take any accountability. You completely destroyed the setting and turned the I.P radioactive, and you try to blame the previous game for your choices. Its never your fault, even when all the choices you made were blatantly fucking retarded like the shadow group behind everything including ferelden independence and loghain, or taash, or tranny surgery scars in a medieval game with magic. Its always someone else who fucked up.

That objectively isn't true, the original Veilguard pitch was was more serious and dark.

Veilguard is such an odd game, you look at the original story draft and it's way darker, hornier, factions are allowed to be evil, Taash looks like a real woman and more.

>>713750373
Dragon Age is someone trying to reinvent the wheel. You'll have pretentious, gloriously detached men and women thinking they can surpass a proven mechanic and formula. Then they end up looking like fools when it fails. The fact that its a fucking 17 year old game and nobody has tried to match the Origins system itself is disgraceful.

>>713760975
That wouldn't have been an issue. The problem is that the first thing everyone saw about this game was a freak inbred looking dragon tranny. If people looked further into the game, they would immediately be exposed to the retarding writing and obnoxious marvel quips. People want their games to feel cool and sexy, they don't want them to feel like anime club

>>713764652
Nah, it's not that, Veilguard classifies characters as the GOOD GUYS or the BAD GUYS. If you are LE GOOD? You are pure good. The Antivan Crows renounce wanton assassinations, forced brothel work and slavery because they are LE GOOD, same with the Dalish. Bad guys can do bad things, but not good guys.

You never really think about all of the devs who have likely spent their lives working on complete slop.

We know. That's why we keep calling for you to be fired and blacklisted from the industry.

Even when DEI hires get coerced by the higher ups to drop the politics, the best they can do is boring stories with nothing to say. Slop in the purest sense of the word, lazily scooped from the slop pit and dumped onto our plates. Thousands of people who could actually carry the torch are being gatekept by the most worthless yet self-important stock of talentless theater kids, political activists, and psychotic dunning kruger MBAs that the western entertainment industry has ever seen.

>>713743789 (OP)
tranny cope

>>713773410
Same shit as AC shadows then. Can't wait for these studios to go under.

>>713773557
Pretty much yeah, they just lie and then hope it will work out and then when it doesn’t they just start doing mental gymnastics to delude themselves into thinking they didn’t fail or cry how it doesn’t matter and everyone should just ignore it.

>>713750246
kek

>>713747252
Ey anon. That is really rude. To the pig.

Indeed they couldn’t have made a better game. If they could they wouldn’t be working at fucking the slop factory that is
Bioware.

>>713771119
>If you didn't like this game then you're a bigot. Blah blah blah!

>>713745441

Horrible bait.

>>713743789 (OP)
the problem was the fundamental design of the game, not the quality
it's well made, but simply lacks appeal to the general gaming demographic

>>713743789 (OP)
This game shares exactly zero gameplay aspects from Dragon Age. It's problem is that it wears the franchise's name as a skinsuit in order to trick the already established playerbase into buying whatever you could call this thing they actually made. It is not Dragon Age.

>"we made the best game possible to us"
>it's shit
>pikachuface over losing job
But honestly, nobody know how much of this is mandated corpo speak, it at least reads like that.

>>713743789 (OP)
I mean, I believe them. They absolutely could not do any better than this garbage.

>>713743789 (OP)
there is a lot of effort and dev work put into it and it shows
too bad it was completely ruined by shit writing and insufferable characters

>>713775452
I'm sure when Rome fell some Romans said they genuinely thought they did the best they could.

>>713777315
Romans had functional toilets and knew how to use them unlike the fuckers that made Veilguard

>>713744202
You can not care about some things while caring about others. What is it with retards like you who think there is only one singular form of caring? Are you so hooked on finding a contradiction that you are willingly crippling your humanity to achieve a fake one?

>>713745830
Most of Bioware was fired over Veilguard. The Andromeda studio was also sacked for making that pile.
>uhhh more than one bioware studio? me brain hurting
Yeah, retard. You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>713747267
The people dancing on your grave are not crying. You're bad at reading emotions, autismo.

>>713746174
Most of them got fired. Their bad games used to still sell pretty well.

I don't want a single amerimutt to pick up a pen ever again. No more american/canadian/westacuck writers anywhere, ever. Please.

>>713744083
That should be /thread right there

>>713773410
They did the same thing with Veilguard that they did with AssCreed:Black Fag and thought people wouldn't notice. They refused to mention copies sold, or sales at all, and kept saying "it has X many players!". Which is not the win they think it is. The company would've openly stated the game was selling well if it was actually selling well. Like Focus Entertainment with Space Marine 2. Or Capcom with Wilds. Or even fucking Pocketpair with Palworld. Journos don't run defense like this for games that don't need it.

>>713743789 (OP)
>best version of what we released
but they only released it once. My latest shit is the best version of that shit I've ever released

>>713759257
Did you see what they did to Morrigan? Be grateful your waifu wasn’t in it

>>713782034
They reduced her tit size and exposed skin. Even gave her some weird midriff thing to hide her abs. Someone went out of their way to remove any chance that "the male gaze" could happen to her.

>>713762008
Bro, you didn't have to do this to me.

>>713781567
but wilds and palworld sold incredibly well, I'm not sure you needed to keep going with your examples

>>713748348
>seething
people who still use these forced buzzwords aren't the most compelling either
retard

>>713743789 (OP)
>they couldn't have "made a better Dragon Age"
That is true, the people who made the good Dragon Age have long since departed from Bioware.

>>713744106
>we just had to add trannies talking about their feelings there was literally no other option

>>713782759
It can't be helped...

>>713771119
Is that supposed to be an insult?

so.... the whole Mages vs Templars debate we had going for decades now was utterly pointless, right? Didnt change a single thing, no matter which side you supported.

>>713757929
What is this Carmen Sandiego's outfit? Hate when people put modern fashion into medieval fantasy worlds. It always look so out of place.

I hate the western games industry so much.
Failures are being celebrated. Retards are being gassed up so that they can keep their positions.

>>713743789 (OP)
Reminder that you dont hate Bioware enough

>>713783908
Am I supposed to know who this is?

>>713782649
Examples are best done in trios, anon.

>>713783945
yes

>>713784087
Why?

>>713743789 (OP)
they aren't capable of creating anything better. they're fucking incompetent far left activists who need to be blacklisted from the industry.

>>713784125
because

>>713783945
A repulsive manfaced 65+ year old old hag. So a 10/10 wrpgslop whore. Ohh what could have been, if only we could've had Wynne's transvestite brother in the game.

>>713784424
You're not selling me.

I mean, the game is shit, but "this is the best version of shit we could have delivered" isn't so absurd when you considered the conditions.

DA:I and supplemental works had already butched the lore of the series.

The game had the directors and other key personnel change like, 4 times?

Upper management made them change the focus on what they wanted also like 3 times.

The last set of key personnel were literally transexuals.

In a sense, it is impressive that the game even shipped at all.

>>713784449
Relax, SEAkun.

A villain from Inquisition, that you meet only in a particular route.

>>713781567
I know, the second I see players being advertised I know that something is fucked. The desperate shill raids and journos doing damage control is just confirmation of that.

>>713783908
>>713785329
Should have been Morrigan.

>>713744685
>Final reboot was 18 months of development to change the entire game's structure + story
4 years. Veilguard, the iteration that was released, had 4 years of development time. Not 18 months, 4 years.

>>713788438
So they had plenty of time to make the game and that shit was just a lie.

>>713782759
>tfw this would be a disingenuous shitpost for pretty much any other game
>but for Veilguard it's the unironic truth
The day the western industry eats shit is the day I get up and dance, fuck these losers.

The argument he is making is that you're human waste. Proceed to exit yourself from this world

Total chud victory

>>713783819
Agreed 100%

>>713743789 (OP)
I really wonder how much this shitshow cost to develop and if they even made enough to break even

>>713743789 (OP)
>We Couldn't Have Made A Better Dragon Age
He's right. Anyone else would've made a better one though

>>713743789 (OP)
>We Couldn't Have Made A Better Dragon Age

it's nice that they acknowledge their inability to make a good game

>>713744083
underrated fpbp

>>713744106
would've been better if they didn't put a tranny in charge who came up with Traash and tranny scars

The game was great, you guys are just assholes

Not sure if that review is a shitpost or your average modern gaming journalism.

Jesus fucking christ. I knew it was real, but i didn't know it was written by the REVIEWS EDITOR AND CO-OWNER OF THE SITE

>>713793870
don't think about it

>>713743789 (OP)
It's essentially them admitting they are shit at their job since the actual full extent of their development skills gave us this unmitigated turd.

>>713794274
Why hasn't gaming journalism died yet?

I'm non-buynary, which means I'm not going to buy your shit game.

>>713743789 (OP)
>we made the best version of what we released
Then the problem is the concept.
