It's an overreaching law.

Matty Plays sure knows how to yap doesn't he. I felt sorry for him before I read that essay of an apology.

 

[Fake]

Holy shit!

WTF

 

[missiles]

Why is the Video gone?

Wrongthink will not be tolerated. Now be quiet and take your hormones.

 

[Kacho]

Why is the Video gone?

Pre release damage control. It’s too late though. The clip is being discussed everywhere, including the Steam forums.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Holy shit!

This is amazing.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Lol, EA copyright struck it. I think we've seen enough anyway.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This is a fucking psy op. It must be.

 

[YuLY]

Holy shit!

Holy.Fucking.Shit

This isnt a game, it is propaganda. And if you look at the dialogue choices, you cant be mean to them or disrespect them or some shit, like a renegade playthrough or something. You are forced to be ok with it. This aint an RPG lol.

Bioware is dead.

 

[whyman]

Can I refuse to call them they? If not, this is not my kind of fantasy.

 

[missiles]

The punishment exercises are the modern day equivalent of the hair shirt.

 

[GymWolf]

The dialogue in this game is insultingly bad. This is some of the worst dialogue I've ever seen/heard in a AAA game.

Nothing makes me feel more immersed in a magical medieval world of dragons like the word 'crappy'.

It just never seems to end. It's as if you're constantly going to be reminded of this gender bureaucracy nonsense throughout this entire game.

They should rename her character in "Trash".

Bioware is dead.

Can't come soon enough.

 

[web3x]

I'm more sad that I can only control one character... the terrible writing seems here to stay in the western AAA space outside of CDPR and Larian (for now)

Which one has the schlong?

The one with Adam's Apple.

this is so bad i cant believe it made a final product.

No fucking way

I thought it wasn't THAT bad until I saw this

 

[DeepEnigma]

What do you mean? It's a Well-Written Return to Form™

Yep, that's bait.

Someone forward this to Asmon

Punching out a female reporter. And it was considered comical back then. It's absolutely insane how things have changed.

 

[bbeach123]

The next few weeks youtube content gonna be so good .

 

[bosnianpie]

Don't buy this garbage, let them do the fire walk.

 

[M1chl]

This is a fucking psy op. It must be.

This looks and sounds absolutely horrible, holy shit. How can they internally look at (for example) Baldurs gate 3 or even their previous entry and just says to themselves "yep, looks close enough". Incredible things are happening.

 

[steve_o_3000]

This is a fucking psy op. It must be.

Is the non-binary character the created one? Or is this dialogue something you have to sit through? Sorry if it has already been answered.

 

[bighugeguns]

Appears that the hatred towards Concord was misplaced, the true champ has stepped up, lol.

This is avant garde tier woke using other people's IP and money. I salute the studio director, what a crazy bastard.

 

[Dynasty8]

Holy.Fucking.Shit

Bioware is dead.

SkillUp saying "it feels like HR is in the room" and "afraid to make you feel uncomfortable" makes total sense now.

Politics aside, this is terrible writing for a fictional fantasy game.

The guy in the red armor is the player character in that clip, so yes, you'll need to suffer through it.

All the dialogue I have seen so far has been pretty bad. I've also read that Rook, the main character, is basically irrelevant in the story, and that there is no variety in the quests (i.e. walking to checkpoints and fighting mobs). I do think the action gameplay looks good, but it sounds like the story and writing is weak and unnatural. Even the way they have mixed a fantasy world with modern-day language feels weird and very fourth-wall-breaking. I get what they're trying to do, but I wish they put some effort into making it come out more naturally within the setting. Between the art style and writing, and lack of being able to make a truly evil character, it sounds like this game is very PG (this doesn't have to be a bad thing, but historically I've always loved doing renegade-style playthroughs in the Bioware games, so it sucks that its no longer an option).

I don't think the quality of this dialogue was their priority when they were working on this

I don't think being sober was a priority either.

Neither were animation apparently, everything is so fucking STIFF, it hurts my soul

They don't want a "close enough" they want their message out there and for people to eat it. That's it.

This is not a fantasy, it's THEIR fantasy, it's how they want to be treated in real life, punishing people who get their pronouns wrong like maniacs.

 

[Topher]

[Kacho]

What a shitshow

 

[M1chl]

They don't want a "close enough" they want their message out there and for people to eat it. That's it.

Then they failed with presentation of such message, which is pretty much more important than message itself. Especially for those pesky "modern audiences"

 

[ElFenomeno]

Star Wars Outlaws now looks like a fuckin masterpiece compared to this slop.

 

[evanft]

Someone on BasedMods is gonna have an absolute field day with this one.

 

[bighugeguns]

I'm no game dev, but I get the feeling EA executives should have a nice deep introspection/strategic session before greenlighting these absolute studs at Bioware another shot at Mass Effect.

A terrifying thing about all this absurd wokery is it just violently eviscerates fortunes in existing IP potential. I mean it's funny because it's not my money but ffs, Andrew Wilson, get a grip, son.

Wait till you guys see Taash's character resolution.

Spoiler: Lol spoilers

Her bigot mother finally refers to her by her prerferred pronouns (something i can't be arsed to do) before getting Joel in Oned.

 

[UnrealEck]

They should rename her character in "Trash".

Yeah but 'Taash' for a character with a female voice is pretty damn queer though
