They write by self-insertion, they can’t write any other way. Woke aside, you’re not going to have a good story by self-insertion. Back in there day, there were still stories with woke themes, and they were still enjoyable. Now it’s all brainwashy.

Just so you know: there have been many, many fantasy novels (including many classics) that have stories involving gender issues. This isn't new. And if you actually think it is new, it demonstrates how meager your knowledge of the fantasy genre is.
All-time science-fiction classics from the 1960's? Like maybe "The Left Hand of Darkness" (1969) by Ursula K Leguin? One of the most acclaimed classic sci-fi novels ever?
Just boycott the game. Political agenda, be it left or right, does not belong in video games. We play them to escape reality, not have political views shoved down our throats.
Dragon age inquisition only got goty because other games released that year were all bad. but Inquisition, in comparison with Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II, was aweful.
I think the only issue in this game is that characters like taash isn’t talking about their sexual orientation and preference enough. It has too much dragon slaying and lame D&D bs when clearly the modern audience demand only identity politics in their fantasy games.
If reviewers accept a mandatory 2 minute "spank the person that does a gender mis-pronounce" as something positive, I have no need to read anything further they publish! DAVG might be saved by the old fans of DA, which have been looking forward to a new chapter, but I will not touch their fantasy set destroying new age wokentology religion, neither accepting the premise that this woke nonsense should be forced on us majority of gamers. My great worry is that the same woke employees will destroy Mass Effect 5. BioWare's last survival stand...
Let me ask you a question: Why is the presence of a non-binary character and their difficulties "out of place" in a fantasy world, but straight characters dealing with their personal/romantic issues not? Why is this difficult for your suspension of disbelief? The world of Dragon Age is not historical, nor is it set on Earth. This is an entirely fantasy universe with magic and dragons and non-human races coexisting with humans. Yet somehow a character being non-binary is the line that breaks immersion in this completely fictional, high fantasy world? I genuinely don't understand this.
@@thebrimmreaper7488 thanks for your comment, your first question is a good one. My answer would be that it’s all about the dialogue. Bioware has been making games like Mass Effect with same gender romance options in them since 2007. The dialogue was never belittling the player, never lecturing the player it would just happen organically and it was totally cool. Same with straight romances, they never tried to educate the player about it through dialogue. Now in Veilguard, it feels like the developers are trauma dumping their own personal issues and conversations they’ve had with their own parents directly into the game’s dialogue. Just check out the scene with the Qunari character talking to her parents. Your second question proves my point exactly, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there I think we just agree. We have a high fantasy game with completely made up creatures and races that creates immersion, but then you start hearing about modern day gender issues in the dialogue. That’s very immersion breaking ya know? If it just happened more organically I dont think people would be as annoyed by it. I’m still interested in playing the game when it goes on sale.

Truly a return to form. Bioware give me my paycheck already
truly a game of this year
This is the problem, theyre not making the games for us anymore, they are making them for themselves.
They always made games for themselves. It is just in the past it was gamers making games, now it is gender study scholars.
They write by self-insertion, they can’t write any other way. Woke aside, you’re not going to have a good story by self-insertion.

They/themselves

I love modern day gender identity politics in my fantasy setting!!! I say sarcastically

I'm just so tiered of the new games now that I only play older games now and have been reading books more lately sci-fi books from around 1960's
Just started reading the expanse series and listening to old man's war series on audio book instead of phone before bed. I sleep way better now.
@Treeclimbingexpert right I started the lost fleet and the wailing asteroid fantastic reads so far

If you are clueless,maybe research before making a video

I wont buy a game that has this weird pronoun stuff.
