miskDragon Age: The Veilguard game director Corinne Busche reportedly leaves BioWare
rabberYa people play video games to escape these politics. Glad to see this game fail miserably
BjörnThe game is bad because of bad writing not because of politics.
BG 3 is even more “woke” and it’s great.
Woke is fine if it doesn’t break immersion. In BG3 it feels like part of the in game universe. In dragon age it feels like it was just forced in like “hey look how progressive we are” and it’s just very tiresome
The whole game has bad dialogue. It sounds stiltet or like a bad Marvel movie no matter what they talk about.
Also, including gay characters is only political if it is something you object to. Are black characters also political?
The problem is blatant references to the real world in a fantasy game
So it sounds like the problem with the game is shitty writing. Not anything about it being “political.”
Breaking the fourth wall, and/or getting meta is nothing new to video games (or like, literally any other form of media). Some people like it, some people don’t.
But that is not a political issue.
including gay characters is only political if it is something you object to. Are black characters also political?
Exactly. I’m never even aware of these controversies until I see people whining about it online, because a gay or trans character in a video game means literally nothing to me. Why would I care?
And there are people that it does matter to; representation in media is important. So that’s just all positives and no negatives in my mind.
Also makes for more variety in plots and settings. Win/win/win.
