I'm asking myself what behooves people to keep talking about a game that has had no relevant developments from a series that hasn't been good in decades.
:deadhorse:

It's not dead, yet. It's a semi-alive horse swarming with flies and all manner of gross shit and needs to be put out of its misery.

I'm asking myself what behooves people to keep talking about a game that has had no relevant developments from a series that hasn't been good in decades.

I just asked myself exactly the same question. And I came to the conclusion that it's no longer about Bioware games. It's about the company itself and their fans.

It's a kind of zeitgeist. Bioware announces some changes and is ahead of them. They were the first to turn RPGs into romance simulators, they were the first to simplify the idea of RPGs so much, they were the first to build a Twitter-Tumblr community, they were the first to transform RPGs into LGBT VR. Therefore, I believe that the deadness accompanying their existence somehow shows the future of the industry, and maybe even the social climate in the next decade.
I think they were pioneers until they lost their way.
They lost their cutting edge and their deadness is indicative only of the future of the DEI infested tech industry as a whole.
The future of cRPGs is yet to be revealed because it is currently in limbo, emerging tech will be harnessed to take them in new unpredictable directions, and Bioware will not be part of that picture at all.

Bioware has never lost its way. Everything that is happening now is a consequence of the direction chosen in 1998.

Bioware has always been hip and modern. I call it the "curse of modernism". If your primary value is "novelty" you end up creating a nightmare. Think modern art. Or the Western world in general.

Funny, I was just asking myself what behooves you to post in every single thread about games you purportedly don’t care about typically very specifically stating that you very much don’t care about this game

It's called discernment.

I'm here to shitpost.
I'm of the opinion that giving this game and these people ANY attention whatsoever is a net loss for the gaming community.
At this point Bioware should be boycotted completely, but since your co-ethnic loves nothing more than to suck corpo dick...

Even if you mock them for the horrible woke shit they'll inevitably spit out, these people are just going to cope by going "Well we aren't making games for CHUDS like you!"

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks. We don't suck corpo dick.

It's probably going to be extremly railroad and won't give us much option in our leadership role. Inquisition had Good Guy and Sligthy Tyrant-lite Good Guy

That just sounds exactly like Inquisition with all the nonsense that that entails. I wish they'd stuck with their original plan to do something more scaled down and character focused, but I can't say I'm surprised.

Stumbled across this again.. and holy shit. Only the most optimistic retards can have hope after watching this. I can't believe someone watched this video and approved this atrocity.

Reactivity = you'll get a fully made sex cutscene for any of the ten gay and or transgender romance options.

What about straight sex cutscenes? Easy, there aren't any.

He belittled people posting in the Rogue Trader thread for months, then proceeded to play the game.
