The 'muh resistance' factions/characters in many games are going to be even more obnoxious to compensate for the US election results.

He was the first non binary crew member of the pirate woman's boat from dragon age 2. Since bad blood among the crew is a recipe for mutiny and gender weirdos are never satisfied with any kind of apologies, she devised the "pulling a Barve" strategy. If you misgender Barve, you do 10 girl pushups as penance for your transgression. This pleased Barve and the rest is pretend history.

Veilguard devs: Look at all these quirky and ugly characters you can safely hold hands with!

And now he knows, and he'd be probably happier if he could imagine something sensible.

I'm mourning the death of Dragon Age.
Dragon Age should have died with Origins a long time ago. What an almost offensively mediocre game. That it spawned so many sequels that were each symbols of the decline of not only Bioware, but mainstream RPGaming isn't surprising. That the series has survived this long is. May Veilguard be the final wimper of this godforsaken blight on our hobby.

Oh come on it's not that bad.
It's one of the games that contributed to my 3 year hiatus from gaming shortly after it came out. Calling offensively mediocre is hardly hyperbole. I didn't even call it a steaming pile of shit or anything. But yeah, it is that bad. It's mediocrity in CRPGs incarnate.

If Dragon Age: Origins is "mediocrity in CRPGs incarnate" then you should probably play some more RPGs and see what mediocrity really is
I've played pretty much all of them. Funny that you consider yourself some kind of paragon of taste in the genre, and you're going to defend a game like Origins. It's NWN 2 levels of mediocre. In fact NWN 2 might even be better.
