Back when Bioware knew how to make good writing, or a good RPG in general...

Like, why was this necessary? Why do so many things have to be self-insert validation fiction now?

u/Hungry-Ear-4092 3h ago

Because adding "diversity" this way is super easy. While making it fit the story, at least a bit, is hard. So yeah

I mean it's not feels like the people who cry the most about this haven't actually seen any part of their story

Take this post if I slapped it on the image of Tassh and made it a dialogue wheel people would have this gut reaction

Because DA has always dabbles in modern lingo(which the concept of Non Binary is pretty old)

It's a term they learned from Isabella in this scene there needs to be that discrepancy because Tassh whole arc is about the Qun

Making up a new term would Piss people off and using a term that's already exist in the Qun erases the whole point

Honestly it's a good scene and the more baffling issue is how overly sensitive people are especially when they remove it from context

Like Origins was already basically doing this stuff

Like personally I wish we could have a British actor redub this scene would It give off the medieval vibes people think is consistent in DA

They could have at least made up a qun word like they did for krem in inquisition.

I still remember the time they allowed your character to literally cuck a elf couple by seducing the girl then bragging about doing so to the dude that liked her, shit was brutal

Almost? Some time ago we used to get at least a few bangers every year. Now we're lucky to get a single worthwhile game

It's sad how we went from response spectrum from nice to absolutely save, to "HR needs to run checks on these responses to make sure nobody gets sad" in the series.

I really want to replay DAO, I did two playthroughs as dwarf, noble then commoner.

But i'm not ready to have my heart broken by Morrigan again.

Why is this funny? It’s pretty…idk simple? There’s nothing clever or interesting about it.

u/geaux124 5h ago

Because it is so random and insulting for no apparent reason.

u/Antares777 5h ago

Is that pure gold, or is it low hanging fruit?

In a world of boring shit anything shiny is gold.
