New protagonist? Shit design, looks like some Destiny knock off. Also lmao at Bioware shilling Femshep hard as fuck and trying to pretend Male Shepard doesn't exist.

That design is hideous.
Looks like an unfinished flyer for some night club promo with DJ Mass Effect.
Will those protohumans learn? I just saw Reacher 2 season trailer and thought: yeah, that's pretty good and primarily because they didn't change Reacher himself. A fucking chad, kicking asses left and right, neat one-liners (no hints at smashing pussy though or any female nudity, a shame). These fucks apparently want to actually drift into obscurity or outright disband.
Agreed, Reacher is very based in the new trailer.

Just when you think the bar can't fall any closer to the center of the earth.

Even if it's not complete crap when are they going to release it in 2030 or later?
The new DA is not close and they are already planning to announce a new game?
Ambitious, considering that they have a high chance of being killed by EA after Dreadwolf's inevitable failure.

So the new protag is some sort of criminal? Certainly looks like it. They even gave it the School Shooter Coat.

Considering it's a teaser, it's hard to judge anything.
It may or may not be shit, so I would reserve judgment until they show something more.

its been the trend fow a while now: using female versions on promos and making them canon etc. even tho male vs female choice is like 70/30 in most games they get no pushback cos of pixel booty watchers, many of them here in codex

The more I look at it the worse it gets. It reminds of Adam Jensen's jacket but without the style. Or something that people would wear at a lesbian convention.

ME fandom was the most cancerous among BioWare fans btw.

It's a "in the land of testicular cancer fandoms the lung cancer fandom is king" kind of situation, mostly because ME was most popular, otherwise the xenofucker deviants bioware attracted would latch onto some other bioware game.
But it was the ME fandom that created the Tali sweat meme, the 1000+ page thread about Miranda's ass, and the ones that caused Bioware to lock the ME/DA-centric section of the forums from people who didn't own the games (you could add them to your profile via verification).

Precisely. Tali sweat thread and romancefags were almost always ME fans. DA fans were always better and discussed RPG and combat matters more, not only romances and characters.
BioWare closed DA2 boards from people who didn’t own the game after massive and vitriolic criticism. They closed the romance subforum temporarily after Miranda fans spergout. See a common problem.
Fans of BG and older games were often based.

The legacy part was full of helpful modding guides for IE games and a megaindex of NWN modules. That's what I miss the most out of that site.

BioWare closed their official forums three times, fucking over their most loyal fans. Simply leaving them read-only would cost EA peanuts.

I blame console players. Don't forget ME1 was console exclusive on release and must have been the first Bioware game for a lot of casuals/non-RPG-fans.

I'm not disputing any of that, merely saying that the deviants Bioware attracted by "innovating" the genre with romances were going to latch on to whatever was the most popular bioware game at the time regardless. Miranda's ass would be replaced by Morrigan's ass or something else if ME never happened.

PC players were just as bad. The ME discussion on 4Chan or 2ch is usually some low quality crap with DA one being noticeably better. Console players were mostly Xbox owners and Americans. PS players were the smallest demographics.

The romance focus has infected even completely unrelated genres. ZeroSpace is a Real Time Strategy who first marketing materials advertised that it would have romance options with an AI generated asari. Like, how out-of-touch does someone have to be to think that romance and RTS goes together?
