Only toplessness in the character creator, it seems. In Inquisition you could see the boobs of your waifu, if not more.
This was a deliberate choice, but the potential reasons are many like trying to keep the sexual content to a minimum for the widest possible audience (despite the mature rating resulting from the queer content most likely), and the potential sex-aversion of the designers.
The point of showing no cleavage (tit-crack) is to allude to the possibilty that all female characters may be fledgling trannies in reality, since you can't tell if the chest bulges are made of padding. That, and because tit-cracks and side- or underboob are objectification.
So they nuked the setting of the previous games and either ruined or excluded legacy characters only to go “yeah we’re done here time to move on to mass effect”?
That’s not even incompetence it outright maliciousness.
In a symbolic way, they killed Origins and what it stood for. Where can the series even go from here when all the mysteries that should've remained mysteries have been answered in the worst way possible? Prequels? More fun standalone adventures like this?
Yes, if that's how it will be then it means Veilguard would be treated as the "new Origins" by the modern audience. Despite its horrific flaws. In a way they got to destroy history.
To be fair, I think Neve is quite pretty and could have been great waifu material if she was better written. I think the general lack of brown girl waifus is criminal and yet for all their wokeness Bioware failed to deliver on that front.
Western game industry has stopped making female waifus, of any color. They're designed so that it's nearly impossible for a red-blooded hetero male to fetishize them, and that's the point.
The main outlier was everything related to the Temple of sacred ashes.
Even if you could dismiss the guardian as a spirit larping, the ashes were legit. Good enough even to retcon leliana's death if you killed her.
So if Andraste was a vessel for elf god rather then a saint, then it implies you can grind Flemeth or Solas bodies into powder to turn it into miracle medicine.
The greatest victim of the setting (elves) turns out to be the most powerful, a chosen people. Goes hand-in-hand with trying to uplift all who don't contribute to society in a positive, stabilising way as the new ruling class.
Ever so predictable. Problematic facts are always "conspiracy theories", -phobia or trolling. Why not just call him an infidel as well. This is taken straight from your marxist playbooks, the chapters where you're instructed on how to deal with dissenters publicly.
Who the fuck are those people?! Community managers, trolls working for hostile foreign powers or just plain spiteful mutants? Considering that RetardEra is still cited as the game discussion platform, it has become an important outlet of misinformation and subversion in the culture wars. You can bet all manner of dishonest actors are present there, like the kinds mentioned. They cannot allow such a place to slip into neutrality when so many young minds and some out-of-touch developers are still under the impression that it represents "the majority opinion".
Dragon Age and many of the current entertainment media pushing LGBTQ+ and woke narratives doesn't seem to care much about financial loss. From what I can see it seems they will push this agenda no matter what. Getting funding from God knows where.
And there might be a simple reason.
It's basically Friedrich's dialectic process. They are pushing these degenerate ideas as far as they can. When there is enough backlash they town it down a bit. Sudddenly, the degeneracy in games like Baldurs Gate 3 doesn't seem so bad right?
So let's say everything goes back to "normal". That normal will be based on people exposed to bear sex, breast scars and whatever fucked up ideas these weirdo's have about entertainment.
So in the next round (10 years from now) they start implementing some MAP RPG elements. And everyone looses their minds. Suddenly the Woke garbage in games like Veilguard doesn't seem so bad right?
Sure, the games suck. But that is not the point. It's about pushing boundaries. Exposing you to ideas to sanitize you.
Review aggregation site Metacritic has spoken out in response to the ongoing review bombing of Dragon Age: The Veilguard by online commenters upset at the game's inclusive characters and themes.
BioWare's latest Dragon Age epic holds a "generally favourable" review average of 84 on Metacritic, based on a consensus of 54 critics' scores.
But the game's Metacritic user score is listed as just 3.8 out of 10, with a majority of user opinions falling in the starkly negative range. Looking at some of the most recent reviews at the time of writing, these include numerous scores of zero out of 10 for content in the game repeatedly described as "woke".
Holy shit, this is behind The Binding of Isaac on the steam charts.. The charts are based on revenue so this is making less money than a 10 years old Roguelite that is on sale for 7 bucks.
(this is what coping shitlibs do to try and make the other side look silly, they repeat the word "woke" as if it's inherently a ridiculous accusation. they did the same thing with "sjw" back in the day, even though both terms were invented by shitlibs to describe their own shitlib activities. many such cases.)
What I know from women that read yaoi is that they self insert as one of the men. There is always the guy that takes it after all.
Do you self insert yourself as one of the lesbians?
Only insofar as fucking a woman is involved. And I am "the lesbian" with a dick, if you catch my drift. Also, you're clearly no man (or you're simply gay), since the concept of being attracted to a female form (or multiple female forms, in this case) is alien to you.
Eh, I play either as a white dude or take very exotic options. Or - if an RPG is very in-depth on mechanical level - I really think my build through and look waaaay past just the race, but this is extremely rare.

They never cared about money. Just the ideology. They're getting funds from Blackrock, probably Open society foundation, left wing billionaires and other such degenerates.
