You mean to tell me that the game with horrible, reddit-coomer dialogue where everything on two legs wants to fuck you, focused on retarded and forced romance options is *gasp* le bad? Gee, it's almost as if Sawyer was right!
I don't care about "wokeness" in gaming as long as the story is good and the writer doesn't turn the game into his or her personal blog. Problem is that the kinds of people who do "woke writing" are usually either not talented enough to make it work or have some sort of mental issues, Dragon Age Dread Wolf(refuse to use the new stupid name) is the perfect example. Not only is the dialogue, characters and worldbuilding bad, the devs go out of their way to insert real world politics, like surgery scars and a whole questline dedicated to turning you trans in a world where magic can just genderbend you instantly, all for hecking validation.
Sawyer might be a leftist, but his writing is usually good. If he can insert his own politics but keep the actual story and writing good and interesting, I couldn't give two shits. New Vegas had faggots all the way back in 2010 before the plague truly started, and I didn't think anything of them then, neither do I think of anything of them now since they're well written and not haphazardly shoved-in for validation. Zoomies today might call that "woke"(and I have seen underage doing just that, when the Fallout TV show made the series more mainstream), but the thing with NV is that it presents both left and right leaning points and politics, it doesn't try to convince you of one or the other as much as use them as building blocks for good storytelling and quests, like a good RPG would do. Bioslop could learn a thing or two from Obsidian, well old Obsidian anyways.
Honest Hearts thing is just hilarious, since apparently an Obsidian developer went into the GECK last minute and turned Daniel white just to spite Sawyer. Oh, he will talk about how it was the fault of the GECK but I worked enough on it to be able to tell nothing like this has ever happened to any NPC I ever made, you're more likely to be stuck with the infamous bug where head mismatches the NPC's race(ie in Fallout 3, some black mercs will have white heads, exact opposite happens in Fallout 4 and white characters will randomly get a blackface on them, that includes your own player character). Sawyer's seething over it was just delicious.

This is only going to get normalfags off the fence, nobody and I mean nobody is enjoying this piece of shit. We just got done laughing at Dustborn and Concord, but now a similar disaster is getting all the praise in the world for...including surgery scars and a trans rights mission? Why else would this game get a pass, aside from it's name and the developer who made it? I really want this piece of crap to get GOTY, so we can get another TLOU2 situation. Not like anyone takes these outlets seriously anyways.

That ending is fucking insulting. The whole plan is to make Solas use the wrong magic dagger, giving him the ol' switcheroo, which works, then he and Rook get sucked into a portal, and there's a four line text screen that goes "The Blight was stopped. Everyone lived happily ever afte, except Rook and the others died. Replay to get a better ending."

That's without even getting into how cliche everything about it feels. It could be a Marvel film. There's zero dark fantasy in this when someone is floating around shooting laser beams and gloating. I was never even a big Dragon Age fan but this is just awful shit written by people who can't recognize a cliche and haven't enjoyed anything with more depth than the fucking Avengers. It's also funny how irrelevant Rook, and therefore the player, feels watching this play out. Someone else controls the Blight, someone else kills the Archdemon. It's an off-brand imitation.

Why am I not surprised that the same people who shoehorned in trannies and surgery scars into a dark fantasy game also cannot even ape anything other than fucking marvelslop?
Talentless hacks, each and every single one of them.

The last two hours and a half. This is not Dragon Age and anyone who compares this to Mass Effect 2's epic suicide mission is, surprise surprise, very disingenuous.

apparently Varric is killed at the ritual site in the prologue, but the Varric that Rook sees is an imaginary Varric planted in your mind by Solas (for some reason), you see this confrontation at around 1:48:35 in the video.

holy shit BioNiggers what are you doing.

This disease is well known, authors who don't know what to do with player characters with agency, so they become spectators in the story made to promote the author's pet characters
This is the Darven quest from Pathfinder Kingmaker but it's the entire game

There is no group more retarded that german gender abolitionists. They always say stupid shit that sound lile the dumbest idea on Earth. They are even more cringe than LA queer activists because the german versions have this special aura of patheticness to them.

yt-dlp says it's 3.75GiB but a local copy's a local copy in case EA comes after it. They seriously fucking have a character called "Elgar'nan" in this game? Literally just Algernon, as in Flowers for Algernon. Amazing.

Even Algernon, before the surgery, would say this shit is completely retarded.

So is that the "bad" ending?

Looks like the best ending to me, as the mutants are gone FOREVER wheeeeee.

ETA: I wonder how the Eggheadmancers are taking this...

Given that Harding's death is announced with a blink and you'll miss it text box during a gameplay segment, I assume the player had not done all or any of the important side quests.

From just a few moments later in that same conversation:

I am legitimately impressed by how bad the writing is. If it's not straight up trash it's the hoariest cliches you can imagine.

The ending up there actually felt more like an acknowledgement that there will not be another Dragon Age game. The ending text basically says that the last Blight ever has been stopped, and Thedas enters an unheard of age of prosperity. Happily ever after, in other words.

This franchise isn't getting another main installment. I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware go the way of Volition, even EA has it's limits.

Imagine waiting for a proper conclusion to the Blight conflict for 15 years, and this is what you get. How pathetic, this is just as bad as Arkham fans getting the conclusion to Batman's story in Suicide Squad.
