Just remove hot chicks from Buffy and double-down on propaganda, and you basically get any Disney/nuTrek/CW garbage.

I saw some video talking about the big problem with modern, younger writers is that all of them are mimicking Whedon's writing on Buffy and none of them seem to quite get that Whedon was writing teenagers as well as other dynamics which tends to shoe-horn characters in to either really strict archetypes or it just breaks the character. It's very much how you wind up with Star Trek Discovery where all the members of a quasi-military hierarchical crew can't stop bawling their eyes out in the hallways of the ship and feel little remorse when they get another member of the crew they didn't like killed because they're sticking with their message to modern audiences.

BioWare is dead. It was good while it lasted (kinda). I'll pour one out for the homies, but it's joever.

BioWare was never good. They were passable with the D&D license. Baldurs' Gate had the fortune of being decent following a couple of years of absolutely dreadful D&D games.

The only thing modern Biofags had left were fatass tumblrinas and woke normie audience, after BG3 release even that left for the greener pastures, like who is even going to playbuy this shit? If even retardera drones think new DA is bad, what other disgusting creatures are left?

Unironically I think DAV will be a success. And this will be very bad for the RPG genre and gaming in general.

I agree. It has the feel around it that people are gonna buy it in large numbers despite its quality.

You're transphobic if you don't support.

I simply can't see those two as anything but a generic black dude and an asian chick who for some reason are cosplaying as elves. Absolute pandering in the most desperate sense possible.

Let me guess. The different factions will act as 'specialization' classes of previous DA games.

Funny that over half the factions are gobbly gook. Qunari as a 'faction' is basically giving the okay to be a nazi. And, the cows are jokes..Being a GW is silly. The other choices just wannabes.

Nazi? Wtf the qun have been completely neutered. NuBioware was afraid of dealing with a race that was uncomfortably similar to muslims, and of the complications of including such a character as a potential ally again. Now you can expand your cozy nazi-free comfort bubble into their new games as well. In DAO you could challenge Sten's views, but do you expect the "modern audience" to deign engage a nazi in conversation? They deliberately avoid setting themselves up for total, humiliating ownage when their opponents are (unsurprisingly) their intellectual superiors. It's easier to ghost and cancel.

We're about a year from a black female wheelchaired superhero.

Years ago this was thrown around as the most absurd extreme case of where wokeness could go. And we're almost there already.

The Tomb Raider board "RPG" was marketed with a fat, black lesbian with two prosthetic legs.

Check out some of these faction names. I lol'd irl at "Shadow Dragons". Sounds like an evil organization name a 14 year old would make up for his d&d campaign. How they managed to fuck up in every possible way is beyond me at this point, I don't think incompetence is even the right word.
