Infantile is a great word, it really captures how their brains work.

[IamMarkSmith]

Thank you! I'm so happy to see this game fail. The devs decided to subvert expectations of the customers and now they're being repaid in full. Karma wins again.

"sanitized and dehumanized" is such a good way to describe DEI trash.

A bad game can still have fun things in it.

DEI trash is trash no matter how good the gameplay might be.

The more of the story and plot that gets put out for the public, the more I am convinced that this is someone's personal fanfiction brought to life. I have seen stories written by kids in junior high and high school that are more advanced and well put together.

It feels like whoever made Taash has issues with their mother

[oldmanwinter]

Remember Morrigan in Origins... That was Fantasy done well.

[kopiseduh]

They destroy the Qunari;
Their people, culture, and belief in one fell swoop, with this Taash character

And yes, swooping is bad

[RyandlaKinelberg]

whats disturbing is, this was clearly aimed at underaged children

[Clockwork-Heart]

My 9 year old son asked for this game and I said absolutely not. We had a good 45 minute talk about why. It's sad I have to protect my children from this.

[spineffect]

This game deserves to get roasted. This game was a necessary growing pain we have to go through so this crap doesn't happen again.

[Kendro]

The pure narcissism, main character syndrome, and lack of awareness happening. I cringe so hard it hurt, like the worst after school special ever. Can you imagine sitting in a room where they're hashing those dialogues out? I would rather actually play with a Rubik's cube that I found in a fresh, steamy, watery stool of unknown origin.

[temetnosce]

It’s like these writers have never had a real conversation in their lives.
It’s beyond cringe.

[darkexa]

This is my first reason for being anti-woke, I am against censorship. I'm fed up with this bullshit.

[dmaxcustom]

I insist. These people would love you see you unalive and you want to spend money in what they do? Nah. They have to go and be left out of the industry in perpetuity.

[APOLLO_PATRIOT]

It's great to hear this stuff thank you Trent 🤙🤘🤘🤘

[ardendragoon]

This dude missed a lot of great shows in the eighties/nineties that weren't politically correct.
The family sitcoms dealt with issues. And he missed married with children.

[christopherdsuza]

Not even going to be bothering with mass effect 5 because apparently there is no DLC for this game and the people that worked on Dragon age failguard will be working on the new mass effect, so logically I going to expect more of the same low quality. I love it when companies save me money, its time to put ol yeller down I think. They were great before all these activists infiltrated the studio and when they still had talent.

[cgreen]

Some of his criticism is misplaced. The writers of Dragon Age did take obvious risks (though it probably wasn't so obvious to the writers just how big a risk they were taking). Some of them did speak from their own personal truth. The problem is that the 'truths' they chose to speak to only resonate strongly with about 10% of their customer base and they chose to speak to them in a way that ruins emersion in a dark fantasy setting. Rather than speak to universal human truth and universal human struggle, they chose to speak to the very unique struggles experienced by a very small percentage of the human population. Furthermore (and this is where the criticism is valid) rather than struggle with the pros and cons of the kinds of decision paths that the characters would have open to them in a medieval society where just staying alive is a struggle, they just plopped West Hollywood culture in its entirety directly into what is supposed to be a dark, medieval world, and had characters make the most political correct decisions based on that modern West Hollywood culture and had almost everyone else just go along with it, with almost no meaningful conflict (or cons) associated with the political correct decisions.

I saw a reviewer say that there really isn’t that much woke stuff in it. What little there is you can just ignore . Lmao

[crowbar_the_skull]

Of course it is. It's for woke people.
