Yes I know but semantically Xebenkeck takes on the appearance of the Desire demon in DA2 while Gaxkang takes on the appearance of an Arcane Horror in DA:O.

 

The lore claims that all of these Forbidden Ones are very powerful but they've all mostly been pushovers outside of the books.

 

Imshael also bargains with you with temptations mirroring every Desire demon prior.

 

I concede semantics.  And I did put "desire" in quotes to begin with

Not to beat a dead horse, but when you fight him at least, Imshael uses a form for every type of demon except Desire. And going by the books at least, he seems to be a demon (spirit... whatever) of free will.

 

Which has some rather disturbing implications, now that I think about it.

Desire demons seem to benefit more from subterfuge and deception.  Pretty hard to trick someone into letting you possess them when there's a big hole in the sky and rifts open everywhere.  I think the general populous is all too aware that demons be out in masse.

 

One could argue that there's always a place for cloak and dagger, but I imagine the desire demons being pretty miffed.

 

The game won't become magically better just because desire demons are included.  Nor did it bother me when I completed the game in 114 hours and realize they weren't included.  There was enough enemy diversity.

The Dragon Age peeps have always seemed uncomfortable with their T*tties McBoobies demon.

I'm sad to see them go but maybe we'll meet their spirit kin someday, and the Fade won't be a giant sausage fest.

@nathair it was actually a fairly common complaint and efforts were made to have women be more 'presentable' the amount of crap I've seen online about Isabella's clothing and desire demons using that word is actually pretty perplexing and I honestly don't care about the ramifications of **** shaming or any of that stuff i'll leave it to the SJW's to yell at people about.

You know the other thing that's not in inquisition with all the blood magic going around abominations that one really shocked me "sigh" but yes no desire demon appearance dosnt make any sence because even the devs said they had done the design for them

[Maverick827]

I doubt BioWare would try to pander to Anita, specifically, because she'd just take anything positive they did out of context anyway.

[Andraste_Reborn]

I'm happy they're gone, at least in their previous form. The suggestion that they behave like Sloth demons and take on different forms in future is a good one.

If you listen to Dorian's fade dialogue he refers to a Desire Demon as a he

Dorian is gay.

 

Why would the desire demon take the form of a woman for him?

[Kantr]

I meant it just as an addition to everyone saying it's a demoness.

Those nipple chains are too much for the next generation of consoles to handle.

[Han Master]

I bet $10 they appeared as a paid DLC.

Should be part of the Hard for Harding romance DLC.

So your current theory is that in the game where we get more nudity than ever, and where we have female companions with boob windows, that desire demons were cut to prevent offending sensibilities? Even though sloth and hunger demons were also cut and we have new kinds?

The persecution complex continues...

 

Boob windows? I guess I've not reached that part of the game yet...

[Aleithian]

of course we can! they are also purple, naked and with claws instead of arms. i really doubt that GW's cease and desist force hit BW/EA. because desire demon has two ****** when daemonette has one.

 

anyway, i always wanted a desire demon as a pet. well i guess no luck for me.

 

Dat Slaanesh fan

 

I'm a Tzeentchy myself.

Bwahaha! That line kills me every time!

I reached level 17 today and started wondering why I hadn't seen a single one yet... After reading this thread I guess I know now.

 

Kinda perplexed that they would remove them.

[Han Master]

I would imagine feminists asking for their removal due to their nipple chains.

No doubt. Personally, I like to imagine tiger stripe ice cream cones growing on the rose bushes out front, just like yummy little black and orange roses. MMmmMMmm, imagining stuff sure is fun, isn't it?

Do you disagree that there exists a group of people who identify as feminists who prefer desire demons out of the game due to their depiction?

Are there feminists who thought that the whole self-petting nipple-chains thing as the incarnation of wicked desire was problematic and ill conceived? Absolutely. I am one of them. But did I get the coven together and use the magic power of our feminism to bend the poor helpless game developers to our will? Don't be absurd. Or, rather, stop being absurd.

If you want to "imagine" what happened imagine that, for example, David Gaider went on the record saying: "The difference between sexy and sexualized… Sexy is good, but I think that a lot of people, they have a sexualized character and they think, 'That’s sexy. Everyone should think that’s sexy and think that’s a good thing to look at.' It becomes this pattern across the industry. That’s when it becomes an issue. So yeah, these things do have to be individually challenged." Actually, don't imagine that, remember it. It happened almost two years ago. Now apply that kind of thinking to Ms. Nipple-Chains.

 

It's time to stop imagining that some all-powerful cabal, the feminist illuminati, is manipulating this unwilling multi-billion-with-a-B dollar industry. It's time to stop imagining that I'm putting the thumbscrews to the Ray Muzyka right after I get the kids to bed and making him put a sweatshirt on the Desire Demon. Things aren't changing because of some ridiculous conspiracy, things are changing because more and more people are coming to reject institutionalized privilege and to prioritize inclusion and equity. This is a good thing.

 

And you had better get used to it. It's not going away.

[MetalGear312]

I doubt this has anything to do with the Anita-Meister. Just seems a bit far fetched to me.

[Han Master]

A paid DLC where we can chose to install them would be a good compromise.

Quite a few of Vivienne's outfits.

-face palm-

 

You people need to stop "leading" with TAKE MY MONEY for every little addition. Not everything needs to be a "PAID" DLC. That goes for many topics and not just this one. I already reject games like EA's Battlefield because it has dozens of paid BS attached to it.
