French influence surely, just look at our resident La vie sexuelle. Isn't it like half of Canada is french speaking? Gay language. Don't worry though, healthy black muslim workers, doctors, engineers are already fixing this.
The real point, which he completely misses, is that Bioware has indeed gone down in quality with every new game and the fans who have been begging them to make another game like their last one were telling them so.
Notice how Gaider stops at DA2 and DA:O without mentioning Andromeda and Anthem flops. True BioWare fans begged them to make BG3 or another DA:O and look how Larian totally upstaged BioWare. Granted BioWare's experiments with their own franchises like Mass Effect were good enough for three games but DA turned to trash after one good game. I don't remember people on BSN wanting NWN after DA:O, Origins were considered a better game.
BG2 was their best game.
NWN was a huge downgrade. Therefore, people asked them to please make another BG2 again.
KotoR was much better than NWN imo (I really hate NWN) but in some ways it felt more casual, therefore a lot of people asked them to please go back to NWN's style again.
Then came a bunch of consolized titles like Jade Empire, and people asked them to please make something more like KotoR again.
Then they made Dragon Age, and while it was a decent game for its time (hit right during the RPG drought), it was nowhere near BG2's quality, so people asked them to please make something as good as BG2 again...
And then DA2 happened and it was the worst piece of decline to ever hit Bioware, and then most of the old fans finally abandoned the company, and these days the only fans they got left are newfags in it to fap to the gay romances.
The notable thing here is that this kept happening with EVERY GAME and EVERY NEW FANBASE.
The people who liked Mass Effect were pissed off at Mass Effect 3 fucking up the ending.
And then Andromeda came out and all the Mass Effect fans jumped ship.
Bioware games just get worse with every new release so they can't retain a real fanbase.

Yeah, but will Veilguard be kinda like Metallica's St Anger in terms of shittiness?The real point, which he completely misses, is that Bioware has indeed gone down in quality with every new game and the fans who have been begging them to make another game like their last one were telling them so.

It's also aggressively trying to reach an altogether audience with each game. "We want Call Of Duty's audience" and all that. Heck, if you really want, this started early. Forget Shattered Steel. BG2 is a vastly different game from BG1 from the ground up.
Now you can't please everyone and shouldn't. But Bioware is kinda like Metallica, releasing a Load with every new product they tackled. This didn't merely cost them fans. But also designers. And if Gaider himself is to be believed --- writers, like himself, as well.
I've actually seen journalists victimizing Bioware in talks/podcasts: "I feel bad for them. It's impossible to please their fanbase now, as every DA game is so different." Yeah well, nobody forced them to "want Call Of Duty's audience" all of a sudden. Nor "turning DA into more of a Mass Effect product" as well. Nor aggressively targeting new audiences with Veilguard now again.
As argued in this thread, the entire Dragon Age series is a mirror image of Bioware's existence.
That is true. I find BG1 rather boring but consider BG2 among the best RPGs ever made.
PunchYouInTheFace is his another alt btw. Main is probably neg=lambchop or liberal=shitwalker.
Lead writer on Baldur's Gate 2 by the way, the codex goty and #3 top RPG, also wrote KOTOR and DAO.
It's so crazy to see criticism on r/dragonage that isn't immediately censored and removed.
He's totally right here, though. Bioware games have always been super liberal for their era. People bitching about this are just bitching because their brains are so corrupted by the the culture wars that they bitch about how every game is woke.

They are the same sort of 2006 era boomers freaking out about lesbians in Mass Effect 1 on Fox News:
The truth is that you're all dumbfucks taking the click-bait that right wing influencers thrive on.
No one gives a fuck. If you don't want liberal politics, then don't play bioware games.
But rage sells, especially to fucking stupid people, and you men are buying.
Yeeeesss, release your anger. Your hate will make you powerful.
who are the usual suspects? the......jews????????????? because im pretty sure thats what hes getting at
That's it exactly. It's deeply amusing that Gaider would just decide 'the vocal minority of the fanbase is never happy and fears change' when the much more obvious explanation for what he experienced is instead the tangible decline in quality of the games they released.The real point, which he completely misses, is that Bioware has indeed gone down in quality with every new game and the fans who have been begging them to make another game like their last one were telling them so.

This is actually true, though.
Stop believing everything you've read on /v/. I've ironically pretended to be a shill for the products I hate countless times, and I'm far from the only one who does it. The probability of a Veilguard marketer posting on 4chan is not non-existent, but it's not big.Also I caught the poor bastards doing their marketing on /v/. Not sure if it's working there though. There's currently an ideological war on both /v/ and steam forums regarding the game and nearly everyone hates the tranny propaganda except for w*men and tumblerinas who are horny freakizods who think RPGs are just romance simulators.
I have to add how much I hate his introduction, and he never leaves that spot if you ignore him, which is weird considering laezel and shadowheart will move on to other areas, so they dont feel so static
Nigga, your tsardom spoke French, because Russian language sucked.

Do you really want money shots of the characters in this?
Andromeda was Inquisition 2. Bioware used the same structure for both games and they were confident Andromeda would be a smash hit. When Andromeda flopped, the leadership got seriously worried and decided to go all in on Anthem instead.One thing I found hilarious is that Inquisition is supposedly BioWare's largest blowout success. In fact it was such a success that they didn't return to the IP for 10 years.
IPs like dragon age and elder scrolls remind me of the Song of Ice and Fire book series. it starts off at a healthy, reasonable pace with new releases, but at some point you realize its been 10+ years since the last book, at which point you pee your pants and steam comes out of your earsOne thing I found hilarious is that Inquisition is supposedly BioWare's largest blowout success. In fact it was such a success that they didn't return to the IP for 10 years.
