Bioware hired a transbian to lead the development of Dragon Age 4. Said transbian hired other transbians and this is what we got.

For those who can't understand webm/video related: Indian woman accidentally called the nonbinary blue horned person "She" instead of "They" and started doing pushups as a form of apology.

The lead developer.

I'm fine if they throw in some hot androgynous theyfabs and softboi emo pooners as well. Imo Jack in ME2 could easily have just used they pronouns. Jack also caused my teenage self severe brain damage and lead to some truly horrible dating choices during the first half of my 20s.

we had this thread 12 hours ago. why make it again? obviously people dont really care. yes, its a shitty "woke" game. there are plenty of not shitty games out there and it wasnt the addition of one or two faggots that made this game bad.
>>

Hahahaha
>>
>>37820752
ngl Ive watched a few hours of gameplay footage from it. As someone who ADORES Origins, and likes II and III, this game looks awful to me and holds zero appeal. And it has nothing to do with the "woke" stuff, it just looks awful and the RPG roots arent even pretending to exist anymore.

its sad because mass effect 3 and dragon age have always had gay romances in it, and I have nothing against stories about enby/trans/genderqueer type characters, but if your narrative reads like an ad for proper social behavior and not an immersive story with characters that have to earn my affection... idk. I dont intend to play the game so maybe this happens very late in the story or something but it everything about this scene just feels uninspired to me. and the gameplay of the game looks very unappealing too. all the dialogue FEELS bad in a way that I cant quantify, not this scene but every scene in the game. every character feels like a gatcha game character and not the more beneath the surface type stuff that I'm used to from old bioware. Its a dead company whos corpse is puppeteered by new blood and I dont like the new direction the company took.

Forced representation where the queer characters are there JUST to be queer just feels bad to me as a queer person. Is that what I'm defined by? Being trans? Being gay? Being queer? Is that my entire existence? I'm not a knight first? A fighter pilot? A scientist? I'm the QUEER REPRESENTATION?

Right? Kaiden and Liara also bi in ME1 (romancable no matter what gender shep is). I am a degenerate bisexual. I like hot people. Just give me lots of attractive romance options regardless of gender. I will be happy. People will feel represented. The new DA game has given us the most "diverse" cast Ina bioware game yet, and I don't want to fuck *any* of them. Incredible L to take. It's like the game was written by that annoying theater kid that made your highschools gsa club fucking unbearable and also lived on Tumblr/AO3.

Love the transbians. They get a rot hole and die alone, while bitching that cis women don't want to touch them. Well duh, rot holes are nasty.
>>
>>37820900
yes you are correct but just go ahead and think WHY is it not the same. WHY has it been sanitized and made inoffensive, WHY is everything bright and cartoony, WHY is there such a big focus on identity and gender issues to add modern dialogue for it in a medieval fantasy game? and WHY is it all under the direction of a rapehon?

because of the political brained shit like "our world is already suffering, trump, abortion, nazis, in these times we need stories of heroism and acceptance, all art is political and gamer chuds must unde stand this".
there is a straight line from political brainrot to this state of video games and it is not a coincidence that the people driving this are hormoned-up rapehons.

stop huffing wokeium dude. the game is bad because its bad. the woke stuff is bad sure but there are plenty of good "woke" games. space marine 2 is woke and the black marine is cool and the game is fun for a playthrough or two. Veilguard sucks because the game is bad, simple as. get out of your cult. AI generated youtube thumbmail wokeslop culture war shit has rotted your brain.
>>
>>37821298
Steven Universe ruined the brains of innumerable teenage queers during the 2010s fr. The art style is just really not appealing to look at. It's both sexualized an unsexy at the same time. How did they even accomplish that?
>>
>>37821307
This is where I'm at on it. I liked The Last of Us 2, Life is Strange, Alan Wake 2, and probably plenty of other games that the culture warrior types detest. That's not my issue here.
>>
>>37821307
>plenty of good "woke" games
no there are not. "woke" doesn't mean having a faggot or nigger in a game.
woke means that the game prioritizes woke political talking points over the actual game.
the first dragon age allowed you to be a faggot. nobody cared or called it woke.

space marine 2 is not woke because there are blacks and chinks in it, just like wukong is not woke because it tells a chinese epic story and stellar blade is not woke because it has a woman playable character. wokoids hate all these three games.
>>
>>37821315
>How did they even accomplish that?
they hired women artists and writers.
women give zero shits about the actual setting, whether sci-fi or fantasy, or whatever. women care about who is fucking who, that's all. a story could be about galactic politics, women would write fanfiction about which politician is fucking with other politician.
this is why dragon age is no longer about any overarching world building that makes sense but completely about who you can fuck in the game and using which permutation of gender and sexuality.
>>
>>37821358
Nope. There are plenty of solid female writers. Ffs Amy Hennig gave us Uncharted. In terms of books, I really enjoyed Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. The problem isn't women, it's brainrot.

the only games among these 3 I’ve seen “wokoids” actually hating on is stellar blade and even that was an insignificant minority you’d have to voluntarily look for to engage in your ragebait, gamers are the funniest people on earth
>>
the only people I've ever met who like dragon age have been the kind of cis women who spend their days reading and writing fanfic on ao3 and watching TV shows that are exactly like this scene. this just proves the dev is fembrained so the only people who could be mad about it are /v/ tourists.

faking being blind doesn't change reality. we all saw the articles on mainstream gaming sites before the release of these games crying about how un-diverse, fascist and misogynistic they were.
controlling "narratives" won't change reality, despite what you were taught in your college humanities course.

bro nobody gives a shit about game journalism in 2024, do you sincerely know a single person who consults kotaku or IGN to make judgements about which games they’re going to buy or not? at this point I’m pretty sure the only reason they’re still alive is because of retards like you rage clicking on articles and giving them free ad revenue lmao

dumbfuck, their views have been adopted by the actual industry resulting in games like the one being talked about in this thread.

crazy that the gamergate shit is still going on in 2024. gaming will be dead for good ANY day now guys.
>>
>>37821528
the “views” causing the representation of more minorities in games are part of larger corporate effort to capture a bigger target audience to turn more profit, some nobody game journalists you decided to get butthurt about are utterly insignificant in terms of influence in the grand scheme of the ““wokeification”” of games. it’s nice to see this new generation of “anti-wokes” are just about as cognizant as the “anti-sjw” gamergaters of 2014 lmao
>>
>>37821315
steven universe wasn't even really the show that did, shit like the amazing world of gumball had the calarts face thing and was also arguably more popular but no one blames that shit, the person to play is probably some shitty art professor and also those cartoon companies for cutting costs and only using it so much because it's cheap and easy, like how anime uses cg a lot more now

>>
>>37821568
>the “views” causing the representation of more minorities in games are part of larger corporate effort to capture a bigger target audience to turn more profit
yes. they have already done this in the music industry where 100% of pop music is some flavor of hip-hop.
>some nobody game journalists you decided to get butthurt about are utterly insignificant
no, they are there to normalize this change and portray and from the it as the mainstream view.
the change is not happening because of journalists, but journalists are complicit in seeing the change through and normalizing it.
you are playing dumb as if the whole thing is just isolated and insignificant nobodies, but many see through it.
yes the drive is coming from wanting to create cheap products that appeal to everyone like the average drake album or marvelshit film that's safe and inoffensive, but the groundwork for making the ideas inoffensive is partly carried out by journalism, along with other shitty zeitgeist stuff like whatever is popularized through social media algorithms.

Cis guy here. Am I supposed to think this is bad? How do people get this emotionally invested in vidya drama? Especially behind the scenes. I have literally no life and get worked up over some really dumb, really trivial shit and even for me this seems like people are looking for something to get upset about. Is it escapism? Like your real problems are just too overwhelming so you become "invested" in non-issues as a coping mechanism?
>>
>>37821593
>i don't want "anti-woke" games. i just want games that don't shove politics down your throat
games that don't do that are by definition "anti-woke" because to these people "silence is violence", "all art is political" and media that doesn't "say" anything is reactionary and worthless.

Why is it my political pet issue? Who do you think I am? Isn't this about trans people? Admittedly I know nothing about this game but it just looks like a cut scene that's trying to be funny/engaging by creating a mildly awkward situation. I've misgendered people in my head many times and felt preemptive tension. Maybe that's never happened to you but it is a thing.
>>
>>37821623
>Is it escapism?
You hit the nail on the head. But I think another great part is just insecurity. "This game has trannies, if I play it people will see I played game with trannies. I can't play it then, I hate this game"

>>37821593
there are plenty of games that don't have pronoun circles. here's the problem, a big game comes out that's woke that you would otherwise play other than it triggers your politics. you could play some other game or complain on the internet. if I were you I would be happy in this case because the woke pronouns circle game sucks this time. if you want gritty dark fantasy we have shit like elden ring that's new and that's fantastic. New games that should appeal to you are coming out all the time. but instead of praising the games you like, you complain about the ones you don't online.

that means you are LITERALLY complaining that these games exist at all. why can't faggy tenderqueers have their games and you have yours? because you are part of a cult.

It's even more frustrating being around them in the first world.

They want our country to turn into Russia. The actual end goal is for the oligarchs own everything, the media is censored, and the gays get beat to death. If they get their wish hopefully they suffer as well
>>
Dragon Age always had LGBT in it. Dumb fake outrage for a dumb fake psyop
>>
>>37822908
no I remember the shift. they came in with mass effect.
mass effect took off because of the high quality voice acted interactions between "companions", almost like a movie and that brought women in. ME2 focused heavily on romance shit, and so did DA2, and that solidified their female fanbase and those two games are still immensely loved by women.
DA2 especially. male fans generally don't care for it so much, but women love it.

Too bad there was no population of postmodern AFaBs that made a artificed a faketrans movement for themselves, so that comparison wouldn't work.

>>37820678
They're a Qunari i think. In dragon age Qunari are a possibly draconian humanoid race of giants that live in a rigid theocracy. Every Qunari is prescribed roles based on social need and gender identity. For instance, women in their society are not soldiers. So if you play a woman in the first game, your Qunari companion gets confused and asks if you're a man. He gets frustrated with you being so obstinate about your gender because his society has this unique link between identity and role. From his pov i wonder if its not like if your friend started taking hrt and presenting femme and kept denying theyre not a woman; "sure yeah ok, but you're just doing woman things!"

So idk their story in particular but its part of the Qunari culture. They could also be one of the renegades from the religion.

>>37823857
I agree but also...... i dont hate it lol. And pop fantasy tends to dominate, remember when Lord of the Rings turned everything into middle earth for years?

Well more accurately, i like the vox machina show because theres not like an abundance of quality fantasy media. Its cute, good action, nice visuals mostly. Not much else on tap.

Dragon age origins was such an excellent base to build gameplay advances around and they really fucked themselves by axing it.

There were nonbinary AFABs that rejected gendered pronouns 300 years ago, they are older in the West than binary trannies

Kek this clip convinced me to not buy this game.

I enjoy playing good videogames. Sometimes, I enjoy playing new videogames. Good videogames and nonsense troon pronoun drama in a MEDIEVAL FANTASY WORLD typically don't mix well. More troon programmers means more nonsense troon drama means fewer new good videogames are made for me to enjoy, and I find that vaguely frustrating enough to bitch about it on a mongolian yurt construction forum

hope this helps
>>
>>37824478
That makes no sense and honestly you're way too upset about this. Im glad youre being left behind.
>>
>>37824698
Lol left behind is only going to describe the franchise of dragon age and possibly bioware in general after this comes out. They have not released a good game since literally 2010, im honestly kind of excited that this book might finally be closing and awful dating sim rpgs might go the way of the dodo
>>
>>37824718
Uh, yeah idk. Maybe? But it wouldnt kill the genre or it's inclusivity, baldurs gate 3 was a runaway success
>>
>>37824759
Baldur's Gate 3 was successful because white male nerds enjoyed it and the tranny nonsense was widely disliked, they literally released charts crying about how people didn't play demigender tieflings in high enough quantities LOL
>>
>>37824777
You mean the tongue in cheek beta data release that teasingly implored players to use the character creation features they worked hard on? I guess i just dont have such thin skin. Where'd you get those sales statistics about white men btw? And doesnt that prove that you're a negligible audience to reach; ie the homophobic crowd?
>>
>>37821623
Another cis guy here

>Am I supposed to think this is bad?
I think it's horrible writing but that's about it.

>How do people get this emotionally invested in vidya drama?
They use video games as an escape from shit that annoys them about the real world. The lads who get upset about things like Sweet Baby or transbians getting hired to be writers are annoyed that those people put things that annoy them into their preferred escapism.

A comparable situation might be if the the local hipster coffee house started hosting Thursday night football events deliberately targeted at the douchiest frat bro's possible to try and capture a new market. The normal customer base would not be particularly happy about such developments and would be prone to whine about it on social media. Especially if there are few alternatives to turn to.
>>
>>37824817
I am referencing the literal statistics they posted whining that the majority of people play as white human males lol. Where did you get your "it was tongue in cheek and not seething tranny devs" statistics? Go look up black myth: wukong if you want to see how big the "regular human being" market is btw lol 20 million units in a month
>>
>>37824881
Statistics? No man, its just like, what happened lol. Do you not even know the timeline of events here? I guess thats ok youre not a hardcore rpg fan and this is trivia but yeah that was data from the beta. And the release was like "we spent days of our lives making every shade of every color possible, scars, beards, horns, subraces, makeup, classes and specializations and you all chose......a white guy!" It was just funny i dont think it was serious, obviously if youve got one common archetype vs many niche ones the common one will be in the plurality. Idk what black myth is and i dont care unless its a wrpg and also we were talking about baldurs gate 3 you goofball
>>
>>37824698
>you're too upset
stop being ridiculous and hysterical, it's unattractive

I'm slightly annoyed that blue haired freaks choose to break my immersion in order to push their talking points and therefore I don't buy blue haired freak games. Bioware hasn't released a good game since Mass Effect 2 btw
>>
>>37825026
Again, do you have any statistics to show this or are you just making unsubstantiated claims like a chud retard?
Also lol.
>I guess thats ok youre not a hardcore rpg fan and this is trivia
>Idk what black myth is and i dont care
You simultaneously try to do the impossibly malebrained fat comic book store "im a master of consuming media" shit while also basically admitting to being an out of the loop retard
>>
>>37820650
I don't care about videogames, Jews or Muslims or anything else tourists want to talk about

Thanks for making us all look bad Corinne Busche and Laura Kate Dale, and other Bioware writers.
I'm a transgender woman and I think your writing sucks and is pandering way too hard. Your trans representatives are think cardboard cutout stereotypes with no depth.
You are hurting us all with "representation" like this. And you have provided enemies of trans people everywhere with ammunition to use against us.
Trans people are normal everyday humans just like everyone else. Not walking mouthpieces for 2024 American gender ideology. Especially in a FANTASY setting that has nothing to do with 2024 America. Embarrassing and damaging to all of us. You should be ashamed for doing this to us.
Please pull your head out of your asses before trying this again.

Same tier as
>Uhm excuse me but it's a FANTASY so black people don't exist! >:(
>>
>>37826195
More like if Will from Baldurs Gate 3 only talked about being black and all of his dialogue was about stuff like code switching, toxic masculinity in the black community, and the history of institutionalized racism in the police force

please stop giving them ideas for BG4

so frustrating and disappointing. im convinced that there are cis writers would have done a better job. where is the nuance
>>
>>37823094
as a dragon age super fan and someone who has discussed these games online a lot the people who like DA:O generally like DA2 with the asterisk that the game was clearly unfinished. It had amazing writing. The first game had fantastic character writing and voice acting as well, and the art style is identical. This narrative that tumblr women came in later is just completely fictional. Origins, Jade Empire and Mass Effect were all popular amongst almost everyone from the beginning because they were quality cinematic games that brought something special that other games don't. And that's still true. BG3 was immediately popular among not just women but everyone for the same reasons, even with all of its flaws.

It wasn't until Inquisition that things became a bit more fashionable and sleek, with neon colors flashing everywhere. I think 3 is the weakest out of the 3 games but its still fantastic. (Cullen is my husband I can fix him)

Also Morrigan is literally everyone's favorite video game witch she's fucking perfect.

>>37823887
>Caesar was either a MAN or scathingly called a WOMAN

sounds super-NB to me ;)
oh wait haha this is just millennia of "how to insult an AMaB by calling him a womanly bitch"
>>
>>37823857
Critical Role is so over hated. Its good and I'm glad the theater kids enjoy it. Fantasy is literally big enough for gay enby games and and whatever shit that you want too. The reason DA:V is bad is not because of the enby character or because you can be trans, its bad because of its How to Tame Your Dragon Dreamworks/Pixar but attempting to be sexy looking characters, its bad because there is no conflict in the story, its bad because Rook is written in such a way that he CANNOT say something mean at any time. Its bad because its villains are awful nothingburgers. Its bad because the locations look nothing like dragon age with its lonely, dangerous wilderness or mud filled poverty stricken cities. If this was a new IP no one but chuds would care. The problem is not an enby character, the problem is that you made a dragon age game with every mature element that makes the series good removed from it and turned it into a soulless PG experience.
>>
>>37823487
if you called a man a woman in 1305 in middle England the chimp would beat you to death. that was the posters point. Misgendering cis people makes them chimp out 4x as hard as faggot usually.
>>
>>37824478
>hope this helps
It helps me understand that you're living in a completely different reality from my own, yeah

>>37824861
I see your point about the sportsball and hipster coffee shop, but I think it's weird (and funny) that a bunch of chuds who get scared by a pronoun are deeply emotionally invested in larping as a sword-swinging talking unicorn, or whatever this shit is about (I am just going by the images in this thread). It's just a funny mental image because they're supposed to be chad jawed tradmen who only enjoy the manliest things. The only larping that I would expect of them would be prepper or military larping. Actually no there's the whole "pioneer rugged individualist" larp too. Just not talking anthropomorphic unicorn with a sword that casts spells.

>>37823930
gameplay is literally Light Attack, Heavy Attack, Charged Heavy Attack, Parry, Dodge, and 3 abilities. You dont control your companions at all, just ask them to use their CD once every 30 seconds. Every enemy in the game has 1 of 4 movesets copy and pasted across an agonizingly long 50-60 hour campaign of horrible writing. The 4 movesets make it so you can learn their incredibly simple attack patterns easily and beat level 50 encounters at level 5 with the only gate being time. The skill tree is trying to be laid out like Path of Exile, but that doesnt work when you have like 6 abilities in the game that are equally irrelevant because you could beat the entire game playing it like a rhythm game. It is so mindnumbingly boring and easy even casual gamers will not have fun with it. Its so reptitive and the only difference between the hardest and easiest difficulty is turning the sponginess of the enemy is down. Playing the game on the hardest difficulty just doubles the length of the game, no other effect. Pacing is awful, companion quests are completely separate from the main game so when you beat main quest 2 you get all 8 stage 2 companion quests at the same time and have to spend 10 hours of backtracking before you progress the story. Romance has no sex and off screen kissing and once you hit the button to "CONFIRM ROMANCE" you dont hear about it again until the end of the game. Characters can be visually charming but are all such GOOD PEOPLE that there is no conflict between them and the party at any time. There is no way to get a party member to leave over your decisions, no reactivity, and Rook CAN ONLY SAY 3 VERSIONS OF NICE GUY EVER. These are just some of the criticisms.

Art style is subjective but it looks very different.

Mark my words as more people play this game it will be like a Starfield situation where critics who play it for 2 hours think it has potential and people who ACTUALLY try to play it want to kill themselves its so awful.
>>
>>37823977
>WHERE IS MY STEN ROMANCE
Sten thinks (and is right) that you are a stinky barbarian. He is an educamated, enlightened fantasy islamic warrior whos too good for you, I'm sorry. You will have to kiss Zevran and get an STD instead.
>>
>>37824881
just because most people play white human males doesnt mean it ruins the game to let you play as a genderblob tiefling faggot. get over yourself.
>>
>>37826094
the genderqueer options in this game were made for theyfabs, not mtfs.
>>
>>37820650
Who enjoys dialogue like this? Just cringe tenderqueers I think, who are even just a small subset of gay/trans people
>>
>>37826825
No one likes it. I don't mind it but its clearly the devs extremely clumsy attempt to "effect societal change via inclusion of queer characters" or some other such thing. I have no problem with doing that, just do it better. If you do it bad its double bad because you make the idea of queer characters in normal grounded settings seem ridiculous through your own incompetence.

>Who enjoys dialogue like this?
Nobody does apart from the people who write it.

What always happens is that some dumb over-the-top shit like this gets put into a piece of media, rightoids complain about it, and THEN in response to the rightoids you get progressives instinctually defending it because they operate on a basis of "anything which right-wingers dislike MUST be good and we must praise it".

If you actually talk to the people defending this stuff on a level-headed basis they will eventually admit to you they also think its stupid but that they're just unwilling to concede the point to rightoids. That or they will deflect by saying "its just not important".

Transbians why do you write like this

we dont claim her. this is theyfab shit.

this game is going to set trans acceptance back 10 years

>>37820650
I just started the game I'm gonna use this thread as a blog
Character creation is neat, picking 3 presets to blend together is pretty cool. Easy to get a base you like and can change if it's not perfect but I don't care enough for that
I'm gonna make chadette

>>37827387
There's a melanin % slider lmao I love this game

Did you opt for top surgery scars?

No this is a woman
I'm giving her a chadam's apple

You can change your skull dimensions

So back when nobody gave a fuck? That's probably a good thing actually. Thanks Dragon Age

Is it true that you aren't able to give the
character a womans curve? Meaning only smaller side tits and ass?
>>
>>37827454
You can have top surgery scars and tits at the same
Considering how the tits are always small I assume the dragon age canon is that most women get reductions
>>
>>37827594
You can get big hips, ass is okay
Tits are pretty sad mine are bigger and I've been on test 10 years

>>37827525
Where I lived in Texas in 2014 trans people in the bathroom were featured on local political campaign signs. I remember arguing with my mom about them. "Nobody giving a shit" is older than 2014. Troonies started appearing everywhere on the Internet around 2010
