Reading the reactions on the Dragon Age subreddit is like a mirror into the parallel universe

I love how in concept art and marketing there was this iconic moment where the advisors were arguing around the war table, and the Inquisitor decisively slammed a dagger into the map

And now we have Rook just chucking a dagger at a war table and removing all the pieces. Vibes are right

Why the fuck does any of you care about its sales, what you're into dividents at EA? It's not like if this game wasn't a woke propaganda machine Bioware would have made a good game.

Because its fun to talk about. It's entertaining to speculate what will become of Bioware. How the game will be received both critically and financially.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
@Wirdschowerdn since you're the only person here excited about the game, are you going to play this on release? If yes, would you consider streaming? I'd happily grab a bottle of vodka and watch a 'dexer play it.

At this point all of the old westerd RPG big game studios have changed guard and are unrecognizable. Thing is I am writing this in between runs in Metaphor - a game which forces me to play a crosseyed, blue haird androgyn retard that walks around with 3 fucking belts on and has a personality as big as that bimbo in Twilight. I mean look at him:



3 fucking belts! One of which is for a manpurse. And I'm still putting up with it, because in spite of this it's a great game.

If Starfield or this Dragoncrap would be any good I'd be jumping on the first de-wokifier mod and playing them. But these studios nowadays simply can't make a proper game, they are just filled to the brim with retards! Alphabet people too, but regardless of political agenda...FUCKING RETARDS!

I wonder how EA allowed them to create this monstrosity
in fact you'd be hard pressed to name a single game with a female or POC protagonists that was actually successful lately
Metroid Dread, Selaco, Last of Us 2, Hades II.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Last of Us 2 is shit, but the other 3 games I mentioned are either good or great and all of them have been financially successful (in fact, Metroid Dread is the best-selling Metroid game ever made).

Nope.

Woke means the marxism from Frankfurt school, dividing people in oppressor X oppressed based in gender, race, sexual orientation or etc. A classical marxist would never consider a guy like Obama oppressed by being black. But a neo marxist would.

That said, Dragon Age 2 is shit but is not woke. Inquisition is shit and a bit woke. This game is shit and complete woke Origins had gay romance and no one ever called it woke.

Maaaaybe EA wanted DA2 to have a wider audience by having a more brainless game. But instead, it made one of the biggest women fanbase in videogame history, somehow.

Link to the source?
"In recent years, "Dragon Age 2" has been credited with significantly increasing female participation in gaming, inspiring a wave of women to engage with the medium and become dedicated fans of the series. Its strong character development, inclusive storytelling, and diverse representation resonated with many female players, leading to a broader audience for role-playing games. As a result, "Dragon Age 2" has not only shaped the franchise but has also played a crucial role in redefining the gaming landscape for women."
