Here’s some of the “cultural consultants” from the game’s credits:

Imagine thinking these people would ever be able to produce something that is for you.

It's also very close to Trump's 'grab 'em by that pussy'. Same energy. Dogwhistles everywhere...
Yep. Well, specifically, this is a deeply mentally ill, unstable, impulsive, roided out person physically cornering a woman 1/3 their size in a room alone after she reciprocates a little bit of flirting.

The imagery isn’t sexy or seductive. As a big, strong guy, the goal is to make women feel safe and comfortable with you, not scared of how you’ll react if she doesn’t play ball.

But I suppose they lacked the right “cultural consultants” for how to be a man.

This 100%.

That scene was everyone walking on eggshells and pandering for no real reason, and the physical dominance of the scene from Big T screams bully vibes bigtime. She's the personification of roided out pest: that pinned on the wall shot is quite unnerving tbh :/

BioWare’s guide to making trans and nonbinary people feel welcome in the workplace.

- if you overhear someone misgender a trans or nonbinary person, gently correct them by saying something like “ummmmm AWKWARD”

- should you misgender someone else, instead of just saying “oops, my mistake”, you should say something like “OH SHIT I FORGOT YOU’RE A NONBINARY NOW” then drop to the floor and start doing push-ups to show just how sorry you are. The more attention you attract to the situation, the more comfortable your nonbinary colleague will feel.

It's crazy how I've been playing this game for the past few days. I was following the brewing shit storm for weeks/months before it. I've been following this thread since the game's release.

Yet still. STILL I'm surprised by what is in this game. That diary is insane. Both in the ramblings and in the fact it's in a medieval fantasy game about magic and dragons.

Okay, serious question.

For people such as the one above, can they just change their minds about how they wish to be addressed on a daily basis? Because if so, that's actually pretty unfair to everyone else.

One day, he/him, the next day, she/her, and the next day not wanting to be gendered at all. A week later, back to feeling like being he/him.
I find the word "cunt" usually fits all scenarios with people like him

Watching those vids is like watching 2 disgusting swamp things fuckin... yet I can't look away.

I was gonna buy this game at some point, used of course... Decided to spoil the ending for myself just in case, so I never get tempted when it's on sale, as I am was a pretty big Dragon Age fan. :|

They might as well have removed dialogue choices, they don't do shit. You just say the same thing slightly differently.

This game has one of the worst writing in video games ever - there's just nothing there. Bland, soulless, corny, cringy. The characters are all unlikeable.

If you told me this was a chatgpt created game, I'd believe it.

I'm 4 hours in and I'm out, just can't.

Move over Bethesda, there's a new cringe mayor in town.

I dislike how Necromancy is handled in this game too. It's treated as you might expect - in an overly light, whimsical, childish way. There's no maturity to it considering it's about death which is a perfect subject for a nuanced moral discussion. But nope. Everyone's just asking about it like it's the guy's unusual hobby of knitting clothes for dogs. Or that his skeletal helper is just an unusual pet beaver and that the player character hopes he won't chew the furniture.

The game is written by very childish adults.

These same people will be making the new Mass Effect game. You'll see trans, non binary aliens everywhere, everyone will be also so nice to each other. If you're a hardcore Mass Effect game, you should be worry.
Is this confirmed? They will be allowed to make another big game after this?
