Is the dialog as bad as they say and forced trans thing true?

[Wolfe Beckhaver]

Game was looking interesting, but the reports on bad dialog, a lack of RPG character immersion and forced transgender is a bit off-putting. Are these reports true? I have a bit of an aversion to playing a character I can not relate with.

Bad dialogue, undoubtedly. No you're not forced to be trans.

[peetpoots]

Yes it is as bad as they say and it is full of gender politics. There are no choices either so you can't avoid it.

the grit from older games is gone, everything is happy go lucky lets go team work!!! 2000's disney feel

Nah, it's all exagerated. The dialogue is fine, it's not going to win awards, but it's not bad or anything either.

The story, so far, is great. IDK what people are smoking to say the story is trash, that's just wrong.

No the transgender thing isn't forced. I've only seen it once with a mirror where you can start your transgender story, if that's a thing you wanna do, but you can also just... not do that...

I definitely wouldn't go that far. The first village you go to is completely consumed by blight and littered with dead bodies and gore. LIkewise you go to another place that is just absolutely littered with bodies form demons.

That said, there wasn't nearly as much blood in any of these scenes as I expected.

Don't let these people gaslight you, the dialogue is absolutely horrible. Unforgivable for a AAA game in development for 9 years.

The story is literally the typical boring high fantasy trope we seen 100 years ago countless times. Just bad guys with no story or character building that want to destroy everyone and everything and you, as the underdog, have to stop them... which of course you miraculously do without anyone dying.

I played it using a... different method, and my god is it bad it's worse than bad. Don't listen to the fan boys, Dragon Age is dead.

Dialog is kinda childish, not necessarily good or bad. If you are fun of Marvel movies you will like it, if not most likely wont.
Game doesnt force you anything. Even during character creation when you get to random character, it always default to he/him, she/her, man/woman.
You literally have to select by yourself anything else.
In story so far i didnt encounter anything even remotely to forced sexuality. I am about 15 hours in to game on EA Pro,
So its totally overblown by insecure people.

Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t own the game; they’re just parroting what they heard online.

Dialogue is cringe sometimes but it’s not terrible. It’s better than Starfield, as are the RPG elements. Your class and background come up a lot in dialogue, actually. You’re not forced to be trans. There’s one trans interaction in the game that people are losing their ♥♥♥♥ about. If you have a fully functional brain, it’s sincerely no big deal.

Aside from that, the combat is good, story is cool there’s a lot of ways to build your character. RPG elements are solid and environments are tight with lots of secrets and shortcuts.

It’s got issues, but this rhetoric online is way overblown, which is no surprise.

Solid 8/10 from me so far and I have a long way to go.

[Supgad]

The dialogue isn’t great. More offensive than that, however, is the game’s refusal to offer you an actual choice that isn’t strictly illusory.

The game lacks constituent RPG elements, in my opinion. It’s certainly more of an action title with the weakest facade as a roleplaying game.

If you want an RPG, I imagine you’ll be disappointed. If you prefer action titles, it may be worth your doubloons.

[OnThaLoose]

Its a decent action game. IMO, its NOT dragon age. As far as the woke crap, yes its there. Im trying to ignore it, but it gets brought up several times.

Im still having fun with the game, mind you. It just feels more like... idk.. god of war with bright colors and cartoon aesthetics, with mid writing. That said, i would have much preferred inquisition 2.

Bad writing and world building overall, pandering to twilight tweens at BEST , and nickelodeon underage teens at worst (possibly 10 to 13 age category) .
Not a good trademark for an excellent RPG, combat is ok, maps and scenarios are built like Legacy of Kain which is a 2000's Game.
In some aspects, it feels like a big free mobile game ported to PC

Graphic is good and well optimized tho, character creation honestly is great, i made one of my best rpg characters i ever created, it took me a while to do it tho.

Overall, not a Dragon age game at all, but a decent ARPG, depending if you are a manchild or not.
