It's a fucking single player game, why wouldn't it be on freefall? The only ones that can maintain their player numbers 1 year latter are GOTY winners like Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring.
It's lower than HOI4.

DA:O is unintentionally based, anti-woke, because it's literally the best representation of what homosexuality really is in all of video games.

Portrays depravity and hedonism with the consequences of such a lifestyle. There's no lecturing about gays or forcing you into anything. But it's also not just a gay person for *muh representation*, i.e. trying to normalize it. It's a comment on how society & actions shape a persons mind.

The only other place you see anything that can relate to homosexuality is in the brothel where you can choose gay prostitutes if you want & "get surprised" by a Dwarven crossdresser. Again, a great representation of the depravity and inevitable decline of the inner core of a large city (in this case Denerim) when people who push this stuff aren't strictly controlled.

*Porn clowns are hitting themselfs in the ass and oral hole at the arena*

The argument isn't 'is DAO as woke as DA4; it's if it's better.

DA0 has better characters, better writing, more C&C, better game play, better character system, and is just plain better.

The fact it has 2 bisexual characters doesn't change that.

FFS, I executed Zevran when he tried to murder me. Then moved on. Lmao

I think you could achive same results without inserting homosexuals everywhere.

It's a discussion as old as mediums themlefs, starting from literature, when some writers use this as excuse to dish out lame sexualised work - but we just WARN about it.
No, it's a thing they want to write about in the first place.

Kirkwall was a great but unintentional portrayal of chaos and degeneracy with the fanatical Qunari looking good in comparison. The Qunari bringing order to Kirkwall with an iron fist would've been a great ending. BioWare shit the bed with them in DA:I and DA:V, only the Grey Wardens were left somewhat untouched.

That would be amazing, but I wanted to play game with decent RPG system, with great story, game that runs decent on two core PC with low end/average graphic card.

Did DA:V at least hit ONE of these marks?

LMFAO. Nigga, you hate DA:O for "homosexuality". Good luck with finding something without it in the current year. I'm sure you'll love Veilguard and BG3.

Imagine if DAV offered the choice to berate and ridicule Taash for xer claims or even persuade xer that xe is insane and needs help, eventually embracing her female gender and dressing like a slut.

This has to be the most homosexual thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Grey Wardens were turned into 60 IQ retards in DA:I, part of probably the worst mission in the game, definitely not untouched

She is in fact a woman, you can tell by her voice and terrible opinion. To be clear, this does not apply to any of the cast, comprised entirely of males.

The qunari have come a long way.

Being a woman warrior (much less adventurer) in any medieval fantasy setting is fraught with realism issues.

"Right side of history" people knowing nothing about history or the reality they live in.

I dunno why they don't just turn woman characters into basically hard mode where you have weak physical stats compared to male heroes and then all the biggest nerds will be playing women because they must play on hard mode and girls will be represented more in videogames. Everyone wins.

Oh I just realized that women won't win because they play easy mode. That's ok with me though

I saw female who played BG3 with single character (probably on tactician or something like that), she put healing potion on the ground, stand on anvil to bait the golem, and then when they were smashed, it killed golem, and because her character got bathed in broken healing potion, it would did that heal needed to move from DnD 5E dying state into conscious fully healthy state.

So yea, some are playing hard mode only.
