…but the actual responses that Rook delivers are often a far cry from the perceived intent of the dialogue choice.
From another article I found. Look, I play Origins and I played Dragon Age 2 and I played Mass Effect 2 and…that’s just Bioware. They’re not good at writing dialogue and their games are the Call Of Duty of the Fantasy RPG genre.
I saw one example that it clarified what impact a choice would actually have by saying “this would establish a trans identity” and frankly them not being trusted to write good dialogue so many times makes clunky shit like that kinda necessary. It also suffers from the Tiffany Effect in that “Trans” is not a word that lends itself to immersion in a fantasy world.
Dragon Age games just aren’t that deep and ya’ll need to just admit it.
P.S.: I might still get Veilguard on sale and frankly the game looks like it might be the most interesting that they’ve put out so far. A few clunky attempts at inclusion shouldn’t stop you from buying a game and if it does then I don’t really give a shit about your opinion.
I don’t care at all about the anti woke idiots but objectively it looks like a bad game.
Origins is one of my favorite games of all time.
I lost a lot of faith in bioware after Iquisition. Veilgaurd seems like a shittier Inquisition.
Many reviewers turned down the difficulty to make the health spongy, repetitive combat go faster and the writing quality is Terrible.
I can’t finish any bioware games because I always get so angry at the options and dialogue yet I see them being praised all the time.
They’re pretty and simple and haven’t historically pushed many boundaries. They’re “safe” games, fairly good to look at, and their worlds can be cool even if the characters and story lack depth.
But at the same time I could not have played them and my life would be no different.
