Sick of soft modern millenial writing
Whatever happened to serious tone and high stakes. Most movies, games and TV shows seem to lack any substance nowadays. Everyone seem too relaxed and keep joking around when they are in a dire situation about to be killed. It's just so immersion breaking. Watched some gameplay on YouTube and it seems to be particularly bad in this game.

That's not the tone I got when watching gameplay footage but aight.

You sure you didn't mistake Dragon Age for Marvel?

I still think being able to sell a kid's soul just to get laid demonstrates the range of darkness this series used to be capable of, not to mention the darkspawn broodmother lore

Hawke's mother was literally killed and turned into a mindless husk by the way.
Oh, and their brother/sister was killed or taken away from them.
Oh, and everyone left them alone.
Oh, and anders, their friend, killed countless and Hawke will forever have to live with the trauma, knowing they were a part of that.
Hawke was also given the option of endorsing Anders' actions, want to make a bet you'd never be able to do that in DAV?

Not really. My point was that DAII was far '' darker '' than DAO imo.
I always see people bring up DAO ab being dark, but never II.
I'd still say the broodmother lore is darker than anything you listed, but I also don't care about 1 vs 2 that much.

Still think 2 was a worse version of 1, but that's personal opinion and thus unfalsifiable

I notice you have this crazy habit of
CONSTANTLY
posting to game-discussion boards for games you don't even OWN

... That's funny.

You're a funny lil' guy.

No thanks. Not interested in watching someone's self-insert face model on screen.

I'm a millenial and I'm legitimately curious why are writers in my generation so bad? Is it risk aversion? Why do they produce such bad slop?
Is anyone in the industry(entertainment not just gaming) and actually knows?
I'm not against the whole LGBT inclusive stuff but why can't they write something decent?

No thanks. I don't let strangers on the internet tell me what to buy. :p

Way more sick of all this whining, way more obnoxious then the current poor writing. It's simple don't buy it or even better buy it (refund) and then whine, at least then you have some factual information.

I didn’t, I just give you suggestions to be healthy. Spend some money on your treatment as well.
His protected aristocracy forbids him from receiving any treatment that would actually HELP him with his problems. Whether they are physical, mental or emotional. That's how they keep him within the medical industrial complex.

What did I just told you? I suggested you spend more on your food, less on Netflix and 3A games with DEI content. Would be better to support more for small individual gaming businesses which is a healthier suggestion for gaming as well. I didn’t see the point to get attacked from ppl.
The only difference between him and a games journalist is he doesn't receive blackrock money for defending the state approved slop.

you attack LITERALLY EVERYONE who dislikes the game. A game you most likely will never buy, let alone play. Tourist.
