The same Isabella who let an entire city get fucked by Qunari because she was a greedy whore is all of a sudden super sensitive to Qunari pronouns? Did they bring back legacy characters just to fellate the new ones?

I bring you the good stuff. I recorded all sequences from the Qunari non-binary companion, Taash. Spoilers are a given (unless you don't care about her story).


I couldn't do it. I couldn't survive the first minute. What the fuck is this dialogue? They're shaming regular women for being women. The bootlegged Tiefling from fiver is basically shaming the character for showing off her non-existent boobs, what the fuck.

The voice acting is incredible bad too. I don't think I ever heard something so bad from a big production. My god they have some untalented directors working there.

Crazy thing about this for me, is how much of a free pass the gameplay is getting. The troon stuff is almost acting as a shield for devs to be able to get away with lazy gameplay implementation.

I'm glad Rieser highlighted this in his post, because seeing games get anywhere near a perfect score with shit/mid gameplay is a travesty, and has been the norm for far too long.

For the sake of perspective, and to balance out the global conspiracy theories in this thread:


Guy says he is "trans, neurodivergent and fat" and has a bad opinion on the game.

There's a chapter on representation at the end, if you don't wanna listen about writing and gameplay

I will watch this video so I can get a :balance: perspective.

I watched it and I demand my sanity points back.

First, there was a scene with taash's mother, who literally bit some big bad guy in the ass, dying in the process. And then, I kid you not, I saw Isabella doing push-ups.

WHY???!!!!

:despair:

Any big name actors in there?
Not really. Matt Mercer makes a cameo as the undead servant of one of the companions but I don't even recall him having voice lines. Just does noises.

Other than that, no big names. Or at least none that I'm aware of. Unless you count Claudia Black, Morrigan's VA, but being Morrigan is what she's known for... And Morrigan is basically a cameo herself, not in the game that much.

None of the Outlets played the game. They all hang out on Blue Sky all day sucking each others flesh wound.

Just ran a poll in a Facebook RPG group to see just how the normies feel about the game purchase wise. Here's the results...

I think it's fair to say that doesn't bode well for sales/profits at all :)

It's amazing how everything looks unnatural in this game. Just look at everything this screenshot depicts:

Everyone in this screenshots looks like a weirdo, not because of horns or other fantasy elements, but simply due to their poses, a mix of "holy shit, I am fucked in this job interview" ladies on the right, through "i don't know what to do with my body" dude, to pose of the lady on the left who has complete insecure teenage girl vibe.

Compare to a completely natural poses of i.e.:

As somebody perfectly noted previously, they look like cosplayers. I wish Henry would come to see them.

Jesus, I don't recall that "barv" shit. Must've been part of Taash quests (I wholly ignored those) or I was just skipping at that point. Might just be the single, most horrendous piece of dialogue I've ever seen in a AAA video game, and the competition is remarkably stiff (in this game alone).
