Apologies if late but the public reviews are opened on Metacritic. Currently at 2.1 for PC, 3.5 PS5 and 2.1 Xbox.

I did not took a screen for it but I know that yesterday the PS5 negatives reviews were at 1.1k in number, a few hours ago it was 1k and now it is at 1.2K. So again, some of the usual fuckery might be at play.

Gary McKay is the guy responsible for this dumpster fire.

He's the one who hired the trannies and laid off the senior writers who'd been at Bioware for decades.

You look at this guy's background and he has no business making decisions about game development. He probably thinks a video game is something like a pinball machine.

Bullshit, DA2 already settled their fate.
DA2 and ME3. DA2 was plain bad with the boring, uninspired and dumb plot. ME3 has two good storylines with the botched and nonsensical plot with an added bonus of the faggot romance.
ME2 was already a steep decline. ME1 you have various sub-themes at play, such as the political situation in the Alliance, whether humans should seek to tolerate and coexist with aliens, or if they should seek to subjugate them, etc. Come ME2 it's all thrown out the window and it's all about fighting the Big Bad.

Personally I think the signs were there earlier but w/e
DA 2 was a bad game, but it wasn't the worst storywise.
DA2 story was "Homo wizard tries to destroy the world due to muh opression, thus proving the Templars right."
Based story proving all mages are homosexual demon-worshipping terrorists. I doubt Gaydar intended it like this though.
Yeah, the writing acting as though the fag was somehow in the right was my main issue with it, along with the main templar bitch turning into a monsrer fir no reason other than to force an outcome favorable to the mages regardless of player actions. It was a terrible, hamfisted plot.

He looks a right fanny. Proper punchable face.

From what I can see, DA:V is basically a little kid's fantasy. You know, that little bullied kid who dreams of showing his "bullies" his POWAH!!!, but end up being a shut-in, maladjusted creep in his mother's basement? That's the writers of this game, except instead of being bullied, they are trannies with fake oppressed CVs. This is them showing their POWAH!!! by forcing you to acknowledge their pain, which they claim is brought about by being oppressed by everyone else. The fact that they are schizophrenic paranoiacs never entered their minds.

What's even the point of this way of thinking? If you don't NOPE-THE-FUCK-OUT! of any game with pronouns and body types, considering that is literally WOKE SIEG HEIL, I believe that your mind has already been infected with gay. And if we look at people who play this elephant shit and try to search some micro good things about it to say, like "guyz game's .exe works!", they almost always have midwit takes otherwise and are WOKE adjacent. In other words: in 5 years they'll all be little Mortismals
There's a hugely popular and successful fantasy game with body types, same gender marriage, incestous marriage and transgender main antagonist(s) and for sure it's not Veilguard. Currently people want more of it and I agree with them
Let me break that horn off your forhead and slice your throat with it, Mr. Gay Unicorn. People played BG3 because of its production values. #1 by far MC is straight white male [official statistic published by angry Larian].#1 by far romance is straight Shadowheart. Eat Minotaur dick
The fuck is BG3?

This game feels like it was written as someone weird vanity project, like some indie movie made by someone that isn’t really a director, actor, or writer but happens to have enough money to get a movie made; it doesn’t feel like a professional production.

^This
Game feels like an amateur 1980's action flick.

Unironically extremely based, there's nothing wrong about firing these hacks who have produced nothing but garbage.
Lukas Kristjanson who was laid off last year was a writer on BG1, BG2, NWN, Jade Empire, all the Mass Effect games, and all the Dragon Age games.

If those are nothing but garbage please tell us what's good.

I think he's talking about Elden Ring, and specifically Shadow of the Erdtree

It's easy to spot the self-inserts. One character is very, very much written in the "omg I'm so awkward and random but also endearing right omg aren't I please say yes holds up spork" vein that made me want to immediately delete Undertale from my hard drive, memory and preferably reality altogether.

That's not a bad edit, that's her response to random nice thing you say, in a game where you are forced to say nice things to everybody (I swear to god this game is so exhaustingly positive it would have me fucking the furniture if the tech was there); she just starts spewing words about her relationships. Agonizingly pried from right out of the wish-fulfillment fantasy of an awkward teen, or one still mentally in that space, and who probably thinks Undertale is a masterpiece.

DA2 has a bed rep because it felt cheap with the reused locations, not because of the writing. And ME3 writing was mostly on par with previous BW stuff, except for the retarded ending (and the terrible tex-mex companion). But people don't remember any of this, after 10+ years all that's left is "it's bad".

Inquisition is where this started to break. There were still some great parts (the palace intrigue stood out the most) but most of it was already rotten to the core.

So is it possible to not do the traash companion quest at all and have her die in the endgame as a result?
