Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

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.

I decided to start over with a new character playing a warrior. Reasons are two-fold:

1) The Companion warriors can't hold aggro for shit and I ended up tanking everything as a Mage which meant I mainly kited most boss fights.
2) The more interesting companions did not pair as well with my mage + the two warrior companions are just annoying personality-wise.

It's a shame because I was enjoying playing a Mage, but it was just getting silly in terms of the two companions being just window dressing that trigger combos on occasion.

Yeah, that's Taash, the self-insert of some mentally ill "writer" at BioWare who crammed a manifesto full of 2024-speak degeneracy into the game as the codex entry above. Not only is the language used around her in every dialogue completely out of place in a setting like Dragon Age, the character shits all over established lore for the Qunari.
