This is what I was talking about. Like people are talking about the shit early in the game because thats all they've seen. But the eye roll shit for these gender politics is all through the game. Every time the player starts to get involved in the actual story of the game, the story takes a back seat so that the gender politics can be front and center. Always reminding the player of how you should address these people.

My favorite part about the entire game is seeing streamers that are full blown democrats (think Taliesin and Evitel for WoW) tearing apart the game and saying "it sucks." Yea, no shit it sucks. I dont need a fantasy cartoon character lecturing and preaching at me, the player, about gender politics. Especially, when there are or were, spells and items in the franchise that swapped your gender.

It really is mind blowing how you run around killing people but then get a lecture on words. People that talk this way couldn't deal with catching and cooking up a fish

I had chadGPT estimate the online players numbers. Someone dodged a taco if this comes true.

As someone who’s always found DA games very under whelming , I’m esp bummed to hear this same team is working on mass effect 5. I didn’t play mass effect 3 or andromeda but the first two games are some of my favorite in the genre. Also haven’t placed a creed game since ezio , but ac1 and 2 were amazing as well. guess Ubisoft and BioWare’ve fallen off

Slightly off topic, lol... As I said earlier, just booted up DA: Inquisition again.

Once the dust settles after the opening events, and you hit Haven for the first time, Cassandra is out in the training yard hacking away at the dummies. I'd completely forgotten about this chance encounter, (so many years ago it's possible I missed it altogether) but I think it's the first time you get to have a truly private conversation with her.

Everything about the exchange seemed utterly authentic, the voice acting/delivery/emotion, her facial expressions etc. All of it, so much so it choked me up a little to be honest. At that moment I formed a bond with her, and knew that even if we didn't agree, I would always be able to trust her.

Felt compelled to mention this in light of current events, as I never finished the game before, and probably wouldn't have decided to give it another serious look if not for all the noise around Veilguard. If memory serves, I stumbled somewhere in The Hinterlands/Storm Coast. Going to take it really slow this time, and hopefully make it to the end, DLCs included.

Just you wait...

Getting corrected how to speak is always comical. If someone invites a friend that goes off pronouns, they are not invited or you see a slaughter of said person.

Its brutal, think the best one was saying he was such a pussy his mom went with a C section. I can't remember the punch line it was amazing. Never seen that guy again

This thread must be setting an FOH record for uses of "faggot". Like the word has gone from having some punch to just being hilarious in the span of a week.

Kinda like "cunt" after Louis CK did a bit about how funny of a word it actually is

Having played the game some, what really stands out to me is that the rot is nowhere near as widespread as I assumed it would be. Don't get me wrong; the writing is still terrible in many places, but it's mostly due to the writers being run of the mill hacks rather than agenda-pushing propagandists. Basically, there's almost no woke shit at all until you recruit Taash, and almost all of it directly involves her. If you could just not recruit that POS character--who is a fucking abomination not just due to the "non-binary" idiocy but also because the writer(s) shit all over established lore concerning the Qunari--it'd basically be like every other Dragon Age game. The funny thing about the "meeting with HR" scenes is that they're supposed to brainwash you into thinking about how you should participate in their mental illnesses, but what it really makes a normal person think is "all these nutjobs ever do is make every conversation awkward and annoying for everyone else and the best possible thing you can do is never associate with them, both in a game and in real life."

You'd also have to heavily mod the character creator to cleanse the degeneracy there. Both to delete the tranny shit and also to do something about the three female body options: 12 year old boy, freak of nature on a massive dose of steroids, and fat bitch who somehow still has no tits.

Still wouldn't fix the combat being a lame Guardians of the Galaxy knock-off, the UI/UX being miserable, or some of the more retarded design decisions (like the Act I major plot choice being sprung on you out of nowhere, preventing you from ever upgrading some items to the highest tier, and potentially even locking you out of the best ending) but at least it'd be more like a 6/10 instead of the 3/10 it is now.
