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
SoleInvictusThings that break immersion for some gamers:
Main character isn’t a white cishet male
NPCs that don’t reinforce the primacy of white cishet males
Acceptance of non-cis/het people in a story involving fantasy creatures that is otherwise totally believable, well-written, and, above all, where only this scene is clumsily delivered (and not the fact the supporting character’s hat appears to be a folded bird)
No sarcasm in the third point at all.
Otherwise well written? This game is trash. Go replay an older dragon age if you forgot what good writing is
I made a mistake: point three was dripping with sarcasm, so I followed with a line meant to highlight this, but I unthinkingly wrote it in the same highly sarcastic manner.
Do you actually just assume random people are racist for zero reason in your day to day life?
I have no idea what you’re trying to infer. Please tell me this isn’t a prelude to “all racism has some truth to it”.
Like which gamers exactly are upset about non white npcs?
I don’t understand the relevance of bringing up race here unless you meant to infer that’s something which bothers me in games
