Besides the ingame wokeness and political correctness i enjoyed this game. glad its on steam now

[Sunsetter]

Indeed it is. Maybe they'll bring it to Steam one day

I fell off it the first time I started it. The game really gets it's legs once you get out of the Hinterlands starting area. I ended up really liking it. Solid game, just stick with it the beginning is slow and the first area isn't the best.

In what way is the game “woke” and filled with “political correctness”?

It dares to have people that are not white as main characters and some
are even (shock* gasp* grabs the smelling salts*) GAY.
Also woman in position of power, something that always triggers this crowd.

I think the main reason is that the women in this game aren't attractive enough. They dare to be halfway realistic and the crowd hates that. I mean how dare Cassandra doesn't wear an armour that shows more skin than a bikini? Also "she manly - damn feminists, bruh".
I was really trying to be understanding of this, but the claims get more ridicolous by the minute.

Any game that has a wide range of characters that are all different from each other just automatically has an agenda eh?

Stop sticking your head in the sand.

Like?

I'm sick of the diversity TBH. A game with all POC would be something new. Get rid of the white characters that are there just for the sake of diversity.

The problem these days is this kind of perceived 'wokeness or political correctness' has existed in video games for decades. People are just so sensitive to it these days they see it everywhere, where in the past they just took things for what they were.

Not saying things aren't politically motivated these days, just seems a shame devs can't even design the character they like anymore without being yelled at for being racist, homophobic, sexist, SJW or woke. I guess developers should just stick to android characters now.

Best explanation I heard so far.

That's because it's painfully obvious when it's simply a design choice, and when it's sociopolitical agenda shoved down our throat.

These days, in Hollywood at least, the former is far more frequent. Games have remained largely unaffected, but unfortunately are beginning to go down this path as well.

Sure, but these days it seems like people will jump on anything the see as SJW. Like if a game has ethnic minority characters people will yell about political correctness, which they never used to and I don't agree with that. It's just a character and people get angry about something they imagine..

When devs make characters gay just for the sake of wearing a big gay label, then I say that is political agenda shoved down our throat. It is patronising and insulting to everyone.

Or maybe they just wanted a gay character because gayness exists?

What are people afraid of that they have to get so riled up? So much cowardly fear in this world...

Indeed. Dorian and Sera (the two gay companions for those not familiar) have their personalities and roles based on two aspects of the lore, the former being a Tevinter mage and the latter being a rogue from Orlais. Their sexuality is just a shade of their characters.

the game literally tells you that (a transgender npc is a man and not a woman and that's THAT) like wtf. literally. unlike other quests and storylines with different dialogue options. this idea of the woman is now a man is shoved down your throat.

a good portion of the game has lots of gay politics in it also. which isnt wrong its just the volume of it. also the devs at dragon age have come out very very liberal and SJW.

Are you sure you're posting in the right forum, what you just said doesn't even happen in this game, I'm pretty sure you're on about Mass Effect Andromeda, even so it's no longer thrown down your throat, they patched it shortly after release
