Given the responses here and on Reddit, I don’t think it’s controversial to say the romances are not living up to what we were advertised. “The most romantic Dragon Age” this is most certainly not. The entirety of each romance arc is roughly twenty minutes, with characters like Lucanis spending most of that not responding to flirts at all. Not “responding awkwardly”, like Cullen rubbing his neck or shuffling before continuing to speak, I mean not responding AT ALL. Is there any chance patches could come in and save this? BG3 and Cyberpunk both had multiple patches that fleshed out their romantic interactions. It’s already been said we’re not getting DLC, but what kind of patches can we expect going forward? On the off chance the patches will be more substantial than bug fixes, I’d like to offer a few that could help turn the game aroundfor me, at least. I’ll be upfront that I’m mostly talking from the perspective of someone who has only gone through Lucanis’ romance and has been jaded by the time sink required for a really lackluster experience. The “missives” system is right there for some low-effort lore drops. Maybe an interactive love note to carry through the game? Lucanis’ commitment scene is genuinely awful. It felt like the equivalent of putting on the marriage amulet in Skyrim. It was literally just hitting the “committed—on” switch. It is the least satisfying “romance” scene I have ever experienced. They don’t touch. They hardly even gesture. They just stand there staring at each other and cycling through what looks to be idle animations. Was there cut content meant to be here, or is this genuinely the effort put into the “most romantic game ever”? Is it possible to fiddle with some scenes to make them the smallest bit dynamic? And finally, could we get a patch to allow the players to turn off the flirting between companions? It’s a real kick in the head to hear the effort put into two companions getting together, knowing how little romantic content Rook gets to experience themselves. Especially in the case of Neve and Lucanis, where Lucanis is seemingly the one companion that can be locked out of a romance entirely—and then he immediately hooks up with the person who made the exact. same. call. There’s even a line in his Inner Demons quest about being into Neve, it’s relentless and it’s insulting. I’d rather just not even hear it. Obviously there’s bigger gripes about the romances—why only twenty minutes of content? why can’t we talk to them between missions? why no kiss button?—but I feel like this is a few relatively small adjustments that could help ease some of the ick. Maybe others have more, better ideas, I don’t want to write a whole book and a half. Additional: Adding an option to object to Rook being referred to as “young” in Emmerich’s romance to allow for more RP potential.Lucanis Romance Super Disappointing
I had to stop bringing Neve with me because he flirts so obviously with her and gives me scraps. Being one of the clear forefront winners for romance before the release, wtf were the writers thinking? It's honestly bumming me out so hardcore how I get literally nothing from this man and I was so excited to try out enemies to lover, tortured spirit, anything but man... If the writers just wanted him to date the other characters instead of Rook then why even make him romancable? I'm more than 20 hours in and beyond the coffee date scene (and picking the right choice since Im also playing a crow) I've gotten BARELY ANYTHING. I truly hope this gets fixed in the future because I think there is enough commotion on reddit and elsewhere to bring it to attention. I get this isn't any Larian but c'mon, romances are one of the biggest things in DA. PLEASE GIVE US A REAL LUCANIS ROMANCE. UPDATE: After finishing the game yesterday I just wanted to share my thoughts. I see what angle they were trying to go down with Lucanis, like an absence makes the heart grow fonder type thing and I don’t actually hate the romance once you get towards later in the game. It truly is the first act into beginning of second act that needs work and too much Neve connection that was clearly more priority then whatever was happening with Rook dialogue. Playing as a Crow Mage I think gave me better options and just never ever putting Neve and him together period is how I was able to get through it. I truly think there needs to be some sort of blocker between Neve and Lucanis where whatever flirty banter stops the moment you choose to romance one of them however and I hope that gets patched in because it really does ruin the dynamic, more interest needs to actually be shown to Rook, you know, the **bleep** main character. Because everyone’s right, you just feel like a third wheel if you want to include Neve in your party with him and it sucks I had to basically bench her (and clearly volunteered her for certain choices but also think that works for her hardened character tbh). I hope they actually listen to their players for once because this game could be great, I liked the main story, graphics are gorgeous, but character development is so important and I think they dropped the ball hard on that with Rook and her connections to her team in general on top of the romance.New world request
EE_kalyn I would like to request new world with similar settings as FS22 and TIB63. Lot of players enjoy this settings and we ready for another, is that possible? Please let us know. And if possible it would be nice with a fixed power-friendly start layout, as power production is very important for this kind of worlds, just use suggestion nr1 or 2 from the vote over layouts from WCS 2023. Both are good for power production. Another thing that would be nice s if you don´t cap the poi´s but make all pois also over lvl 72 giving more bonus. That way it pays off to hunt for bigger pois and the game will be even more funny. Please let us know if you can deliver a world like this before x-mas. Best regardsSolvedThe new EA Sims Forum
I am a member of the soon to be Sims Forum. I have also raised my concern in the Forum and will repeat it here. Perhaps this debate has already started somewhere else, but forgive me for not seeing where. That is exactly the problem. I think everything new requires getting used to and I will probably spend some time getting to know the new EA Forum. However, there is one thing that immediately catches my eye and surprises me. How is it that almost everything is sorted by 'The most' such as Most Recent, Most Viewed, Most Replies, Most Likes. It is of course very nice for those who already have a lot of followers and likes, but for someone else it seems like a killer. On a forum like X, you're practically invisible and dead if you don't have a whole bunch of followers. I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen here. As I said, it may be because I can't find my way around yet, but I need to voice my concern out loud and hopefully become wiser. The best thing about the old Sims Forum is that it didn't try to look like a social media like any other social media where it's about scoring the highest rank and number of followers to get benefits. This applies in particular to the right to costume a personal avatar. I really hope the idea of earning enough rank to get a personal avatar is rethought. The existing Forum has been a sanctuary where you have been able to cultivate the special interest you have in the game with other Simmers regardless of their rank and general popularity. The entire structure of the forum has made it easy to navigate. I don't know how to navigate the EA Forum when it focuses on highlighting the most popular lore at the moment. This cultivation of elitism leaves me with a feeling of loneliness. For me it's a killer because I don't want to be in a Forum where I have to be confirmed daily that I'm invisible and therefore unimportant.Patch 1.1.1 forget the exact match setting (screenshot) its very important
Can we have as many likes as possible on this topic so that they can add the exact match setting. And as quickly as possible. We want the NHL 24 eashl setting back Here what we want to have : ✔️ Here what we dont want to have :⛔838Views31likes33CommentsThe Sims Community is Different
Okay, I’m not going to post about the glitches, missing features, and other problems in the forum itself. We all know what those are. I would just like to amplify something that maybe needs to be taken more seriously by those who decide these things, and that is this: the Sims game is completely different from the others here, and so is the Sims gaming community. I took some time to look at the boards for the other EA games on the forum, and we simmers are definitely having the most difficulty with the switch. My perspective is that forum interaction and community is directly related to the way the game is played, and the Sims is not like the others. This type of forum is fine when gameplay and community are centered around gaining levels, adding in-game allies or friends, getting performance tips, or raising gameplay related questions. Those types of interactions are the basis of the community for those types of games, because the game has structure. There’s only so much to discuss. A sandbox game like The Sims doesn’t fit in that box. The game itself is open ended. It can be anything we want it to be, and one person’s game is not like anyone else’s. That kind of player directed, open ended game requires a community format that is also open ended and user directed. It needs a loose structure that allows players to share the wide range of possibilities the game gives us. This forum cannot do this. Big, continuous topics with multiple people sharing stories and screenshots are a staple of the Sims community, and after a matter of only weeks, this forum is breaking under the weight of those long threads. On the old forum, we had topics that were years old, still going strong. Conversational topics, idea threads, creative threads and social threads are being buried under long loads, “see more” scrolling and nested replies that don’t allow a natural flow of ideas and communication. My own “Blue Moon” thread is becoming difficult to maintain because I can’t even tell where the new responses are, in order to respond back. While this forum seems to suit games like Star Wars, it is not functional for a game like the Sims and the community that plays it. The Sims is not Star Wars, and it requires a community format that recognizes the difference.Feedback on new Sims forum
I want to offer some feedback... I've tried. I really have, but I don't think I can use these forums. They are cluttered, from the "sidebar" that occupies almost a third of the screen to the "preview" text, to the choice of glaringly bright colors. With so much being shoved at me at once, it becomes physically painful for me to try to read or post. I'm getting headaches trying to use them forums. They do not appear to be designed to support discussion, but rather tech support style question-and-answer posts. The way replies are sorted, and nested, and the lack of "page numbers" in favor of "show more" all combine to make it extremely difficult to follow a chronological progression of comments in a thread. I genuinely feel that these forums are the wrong tool for the job... they're like using a hammer to cut wood. You can do it, but you shouldn't.Poll on New Updates
Hi everyone! I’ve been a Galaxy of Heroes player for almost two years now, playing consistently every day. I’m a grind account—typically not caring how long it takes me to grow, generally being very patient about my progress, although I do still occasionally spring for lower-cost Hyperdrive bundles that propel me towards my goal. This is my first time posting on the forums, because EA and Disney have just ticked me off that much with these latest updates which, to me, smacks of corporate greed trying to wring more money out of people. I’m curious about your thoughts—what are the pros of this latest update, what are the cons of this latest update, how does this update contrast with previous updates that perhaps also felt like money-grabs, etc. I encourage you to leave a comment and answer the following: Do you think this update is good overall, bad overall, or a blend? For you, what aspects are good and what aspects are bad? Are you considering leaving this game due to this update? Why or why not? Any additional thoughts or comparisons with previous updates? I appreciate you all. This game has become a part of my daily routine, but I feel as though it’s now going to take me three times as long to achieve anything. I almost deleted it this morning, but thought I’d check in with the community first to see your impressions. Thanks so much in advance. UPDATE: CG_Meathead , here’s a solid start to a growing, comprehensive list of all the issues introduced with these latest updates. I really hope you take these frustrations seriously and consider some of the solutions that have been suggested. If you’re actually trying to create a more positive, free-to-play experience as you’ve suggested, you are not succeeding with this latest update. You don’t have to sacrifice free-to-play options that allow us to grow in order to provide pay-to-play products.1.8KViews27likes84CommentsA Call to Bioware: Please Unlock Hardened Lucanis' Romance (ACT 1 SPOILERS)
I've been trawling through the various forum and reddit threads on this topic for the past week or so, so I know at least a good few people who want to romance Lucanis feel similarly. And to be clear, this is not a post complaining about Lucasnis' romance generally - the incredible slow-burn seems to culminate in a tamer romance than many were expecting, and that hasclearly rubbed some people the wrong way. I don't have many thoughts on that - I can understand why people would want something more substantial from Lucanis, but that's beyond the scope of what I'm asking for here. What I'm looking for is the bare minimum:Bioware, please unlock Hardened Lucanis' romance. I've seen a lot of good points already posted by others aboutwhy this should be the case, so I thought I'd compile the points I've seen here. I might be screaming into the void with this one, and if Bioware ignores us, then I can rest assured that the modding community might have my back. However, it's nice to imagine a company with time to respond to constructive feedback. Reason 1: It's Inconsistent. Lucanis locking Rook out of a romance after Rook saves Minrathous is inconsistent writing. I would understand if Rook was a Crow who abandoned their city during a time of need. It would make sense if Rook levied the full forces of the Veilguard against only one of the dragons. It would make sense if Rook was known to be better at killing dragons, so where Rook chooses to go makes all the difference. It would make sense if Rook had a magic Dragon-Killing Veil Hand that could only go to one location at a time. As it is, however, Rook is not especially more skilled at dragon-killing than any of the other Veilguard members, and Rook delegates half of the Veilguard to protect the city that Rook themselves does not go to. More to the point, the game claims that Lucanis does not have time for a romance with you while he's picking up the remains of the city. Now, on the face of it, this would be fine. I'm not morally opposed to an RPG character making romance decisions based on player role play, even if it hurts my feelings. That's just the price of art. However, as many before me have pointed out, Lucanisdoes have time for a romance with Neve after the destruction of his city. This stings especially badly for anyone playing a Shadow Dragon Rook, as they are in the exact same boat as Neve, but they are being rejected for making the same call as she did. And that's not even mentioning how the romance on the other side of this particular coin works... Reason 2: It's Inequitable Locking off Lucanis' romance is inequitable, in more ways than one. On the most basic level, it's not equal with any of the other romances in the game. Lucanis' is (I believe) the only romance that can get locked off in such a way. Again - I'm notopposedto roleplay locking off a romance. If Neve could not forgive you for forsaking Minrathous, then at least Lucanis would have parity with another romanceable NPC. It might have been neat to seeevery character havesomething that precludes them from further romance. I'm very aware of how much Dragon Age fans enjoy having NPCs that function as their own fully-fleshed characters that make decisions regardless of what the player character wants. As it is, however, having onlyone NPC romance get easily locked off is surprising and disappointing. However, and more importantly than comparing fictional characters, it's inequitable towards players. If my journeys on other Dragon Age forums are any indication, I might be unpopular in my opinion that Pansexual/"Playersexual" characters are my preferred Bioware companion writing style. It leaves romantic roleplay open for all types of people. It opens up nonbinary roleplay, as we've seen in this game. It makes me focus on seeing the NPC as a person with goals and hang-ups that need to be honored, as opposed to a list of Canon Sexualities that need to be built around first. As a queer person myeslf, I prefer this, and having it come back in Veilguard feels refreshing after Inquisition. Locking off one of the masculine-coded romances (especially the one that seems to, at least initially, be pulling the Zevran and Fenris girlies out of the woodwork) feels unintentionally cruel, especially in a game that otherwise seems to have worked so hard to be more open, inclusive, and representative than any other entry in the series. Now, again, if Lucanis' reaction was on par with the other NPC companions, then the equity question would be less of a concern. If there was an opportunity to mess up every romance, then it would be hitting everyone equally. As it is, this choice removes one masculine-coded romance from the table, leaving those of us craving one with fewer options. Reason 3:Industry standard I hate to be the person stammering "bu-bu-Baldur's Gate" in a Dragon Age thread, but when Baldur's Gate III launched, I knew it would be coming for Bioware's lunch. It succeeded in a major way. Now, I'm happy to see that Veilguard hasn't necessarily stumbled in the face of a huge new title in the CRPG space that offers alot of what old-school Dragon Age used to. However, this challenge presents an opportunity to Bioware. Using upcoming game patches to do more than just bare-minimum bug-fixes would be an amazing response to seeing Larian Studios do the same. They used the patching system to add narrative and character content in a way that I haven'tever seen out of major studios. Seeing the number of people coming out against Lucanis' romance being locked off in this way, it would certainly warm my heart to see Bioware at least conscientiously engage with these criticisms. Just my thoughts. Again - I know this might be preaching to the choir, but...a girl can hope.
