It feels like something out of a isekai story, and that's bad, real bad if you wanna make me feel like this character belongs to the universe they're in.
“Who doesn’t like dragons? - said with 100% seriousness not even a generation out of an old god returning as a dragon and almost destroying all life with the dark spawn. But at least now we have dragons looking like they’re out of dragon tales. Dragons went from terrifying to pretty much sparkly lizards with wings, absolute joke of a franchise and company. Dragon age hasn’t been the same since 2, inquisition was full of this crap too just wasn’t as shoved down our throats as it is now
It pisses me off how these types of people will act like you are some kind of pervert for wanting characters that don't look like a Portland crackhead but then they push for this weirdly horny dialog and sex scenes.
And they’re perfectly fine with Males being Sexy. In fact they’re WET for it! I don’t play games to rub to em, so seeing characters more clothed and less appealing doesn’t bother me. What bothers me are these HACK journalists and developers trying to hotdog and grandstand on how better they are than you when they also come off like massive Pricks.
They don't have issue with you wanting sex appeal They have an issue with you wanting the WRONG kinda sexy Only their weird fetishes and orientations should be depicted
Taash: "I'm non-binary." Mother: "In the Qun, we call that Aqun-Athlok." Taash: "WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!" Taash's mother literally tried to understand them, and Taash acted like an entitled brat because the Qun's actual name for it wasn't good enough. It meant Taash wasn't special enough.
it is never! about agreeing with them its about playing the victim XD this why ppl use fake pronouns because ppl will call them out and then they get that sweet sweet! victimhood hit! like a junky XD
I can respect that some people's intellects preclude them from seeing through surface-level controversy and finding a deeper experience. Some people are blinded by their ideology, and that's their prerogative. I, however, have been having a blast 72 hours into this game.
Veilguard is truly one of the most immersive games of all time. I have never so strongly been made to believe I was genuinely getting lectured by someone from a starbucks with a nose ring before.

34:25 This is just a short form of Narcissist's Prayer, which goes: 1) That didn't happen. 2) And if it did, it wasn't that bad. 3) And if it was, that's not a big deal. 4) And if it is, that's not my fault. 5) And if it was, I didn't mean it. 6) And if I did, you deserved it.
Veilguard NPC - "I'm non-binary!" Choose your character's Response: 1 (Positive) "That's GREAT! I am too!" 2 (Neutral) "I affirm your identity & acknowledge your feelings." 3 (Negative) "I don't know what that means, but it sounds important. Could you give me a 2 hour long explanation of what that is & why it is so good?" Enjoy!
Where are the options to say exactly what the character that we're roleplaying would ACTUALLY say - ie something that that pathetic character would probably find deeply offensive.
"I like how it feels when I imagine myself that way" That's a rather honest line they used there, it is their imagination and the rest of us know it and really don't have to play along. Whoopsie!
Forspoken's dialogues. Concord's graphics. Dustborn's preachings. Anthem's gaslighting. Suicide Squad's disrespect for the source material. By your powers combined... 😂😂😂😂
@@argentcosmonautmobile5672 Every time we think they've hit rock bottom, they shatter through the floor and reveal an even bigger cavern than the last time underneath it. Over and over again.
Gundam that comment about " i miss the time my gay actors werent raving lunatics virtue signaling on twitter" i felt that, and its not even that they didnt flaunt their lifestyle, they just knew it didnt matter , it has nothing to do with your job or how good of a person you are, its art
@deivymaybe7554 wich one? Allah, yahway, Cthulhu? Judging people for their lifestyle based on a book written by barley literate sheep and goat farmers filled with active misinformation sounds like a bad base for judgement.
I worked for a year on that IP. I put my heart and soul into my craft, at the cost of my own wellbeing, because I thought the Dragon Age franchise deserved it. If I had known what kind of abysmal "modern" product it was intended to be, I would never have done so. Like everyone else, I feel I've been duped, actually. I want my time back. I want my art back. I don't want my name associated to it. What happened to gaming.
Sten was the best companion BECAUSE of his bigotry. The only person he respected was your dog, and that's because your dog couldn't pretend to be anything but your dog. He's confused with a female Warden, he challenges leadership, and only respects you when you prove yourself. It's character development and it is so satisfying to win him over.
Honestly we need more people like Sten now. Not the murderous rage part, but the part where he expects you to prove your capabilities. People these days don't know respect is to be earned, not demanded
I remember him being really whiny about every single thing, there was no way to make him happy, then he challenged my warden to a fistfight and lost immediately, and ran off all pouty about it. I remember thinking it was such a cool feature that if you didn't like a party member they could dislike you back enough to leave. Now you're not even allowed to dislike them, let alone fight them.
Legit I was just playing Dragon Age origins on my PS3 last night, and i remember being in Denarem with Sten, Lilliana & Wynn, and i remember Sten literally said “ Lilliana why are you a warrior? Are not women supposed to be priestess, artisans, cooks, housekeepers? “ and I seeing Lilliana in complete shock of what he said, I truly loved it. I was “ ugh hello… Based Department? “ its just sad to see we can’t get writing like that anymore thanks to degenerate socialists trying to force all to be the same.
I remember when gay people said they just wanted to be treated like everyone else. Then they found out if you get treated like everyone else no cares about your sexuality.
Let's be honest here, none of those guys are actual "gay" people. They're mostly straight gender havers who saw that gay people were treated well some years ago (when they just got their rights) and got jealous that everyone forgot about them. They identify as gay, but never "with" gay.
Ive been saying this th moment this "woke movement" starting infecting gaming. And Im gay as well. I cant STAND any of this crap going on. So thats why I play older games and the occasional new ones that DONT follow the "modern audience" script. Stellar Blade got me my fix of bad ass female characters, that aren't Mary sues and infected with girl boss modern feminism characteristics., that I havent had in a long time. It never made sense when that "side" called straight male gamers coomers for wanting "sexy female characters" because thats not true. I WANT THAT TOO and there's plenty of others that do as well. Will also be picking up the new monster hunter as that character customization is millions better than Veiltrash. Makes me sad as Ive played every dragon age and wont be picking this one up because of obvious reasons.
Taash was the perfect character for the "modern audience." When the mother asks her what she means by "non-binary" and that their species already had words for what Taash was describing, she flips out. "I'm still different!" In other words, "I'm special!" Perfection. 😂
"Trash" also treats everyone like garbage, doesn't respect their preferences and what they like to be called as (the mage and Dragon King), makes everything all about herself, is weak and useless as a fighter, and has a face only a mother could love (the safe way of putting it, hoping UA-cam doesn't auto-delete my comment) yet still disrespects her own mother. So a hypocrite and unlikeable person, through and through.
I actually had some amount of fun in the saints row reboot screwing around. Getting it free helped and i didnt play more then a few days. But some amount of fun was had. Veilguard? The most fun you can have is getting everyone killed in the ending.
@@darkzerothe1 I agree, I had fun with the Saints Row reboot, the wokeness was pretty limited - people were just pissed that Johnny Gat etc got replaced with watered down twonks for characters.
There are some actors who played themselves and became iconic, Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr is a prime example. The difference is that Robert Downey Jr actually HAS a character, and Tony Stark as a character that grows throughout his films. And this - this is just a screaming child, who refuses to communicate and grow up.
Also the Antivan Crows not being assassins anymore. And Rook doesn’t have the option for Blood Magic because the devs decided Rook wouldn’t like it. That’s not they’re choice!
Everything that are happening right now is because you're not allowed to use harsh language anymore, so the weird0s feel safe to come out and try to indoctrinate everybody including the children to be just like them. I bet you these people are only acting this way in their own group of friends. They wouldn't dare try to do these things irl
32:47 "It's so important to represent all people in our game!!" "Hey, I'm a woman, and I can't make a character like me..." "Have you tried being less weird?!?" That might be the most sexist thing I've ever heard...
To me if a woman with big tits is complaining about not being able to make a character like herself, I laugh because most likely she backed the people that created the problem in the first place. Should have listened over a decade ago.
It's exactly why I don't feel bad for these people when they lose their jobs. Their arrogance and holier-than-thou mentality is sickening. You do not get to treat your customers this way, especially if their complaints are valid. Maybe they'll finally get a helping of humble pie when EA shutters the studio.
7:00 You know what? Imma say it. You should never, ever, in your entire acting career, be able to say "I bring something to the character because I, in the real world, am x". There is never a way in which that is not detrimental. You are an actor. Your job is to lie to me and make me believe it. When the core of your lie is "I am not lying, I know this" you are a bad liar. All lies have grains of truth, but that grain is not one that should be large, nor should it be directly connected to the liar, as that is how the truth is found out, a truth which you are solely required to conceal. If you think "I bring something to this role because of who I am" you are a bad actor.
As a person who has been a fan of American superhero comics for my entire life, I'm telling you for the past ten years, we've had writers leading projects because of their DEI qualities. The only story they are capable of telling is autobiographical and they have crashed the entire market. If they are gay, the heroes will be made gay, and used as puppets to tell the story of the writer. Some stories like this are definitely worthwhile but the issue is every single story can't be that. A story has an inciting incident, a journey, a crisis and a resolution in basic terms. Every story can't be an in-depth character study of what it means to be non-binary. It simply doesn't work. It's contrary to the story telling formula. Narcissistic talentless writers only write about themselves, their dull lives, the dull non-incidents of being misgendered. The games industry needs to look at American comics and TAKE THE WARNING. Meanwhile, manga sales continue to rise...
@@archstanton9073 I can personally confirm this sadly, many act like yes men and only but in when it looks like it could cause harm to the person or others.
32:51 “It’s just so nice that I can make my character fat, ugly, and deformed just like me!” “Hey, I can’t make a character look attractive like me…” “Why are you so obsessed with the character-creator?! Stop being weird!”
Soon Bioware will join Visceral Games, Westwood, Bullfrog, and Pandemic Studios in EA's graveyard of studios. No one wants a multimillion dollar lecture and therapy session disguised as a game.
Westwood and Maxis were at least trying to make good games, they just got mandated by EA to throw in tons of bad ideas that sunk them. Oh well, the EA studio death count will continue until the games industry crashes.
What?! "Who doesn't like dragons?" YOU ARE LITERALLY A DRAGON HUNTER! GODDAMNIT... In our world, you can ask this. You know, were they don't f**king exist! This breaks the immersion.
idk, if it was written and voice acted better, it would have worked as both a joke and a way to info dumb about why they're bad fir dumb people who didn't play the previous games.
@@MarvinPowell1Even then it doesn't fit, as one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. As a vet I had the pleasure of meeting a British former royal marine documentarist in Ukraine, he had two wonderful quotes on the matter "the terrorists are the guys that can't afford jet bombers" and "on one channel a terrorist, on the other a freedom fighter".
To be fair, the game's main audience are people who cannot tell the differences between two "genders", so puzzles asking you to put the right shape in the right hole are actually a fitting challenge

The ppl who bullied us for liking fantasy are now making Rings of Power. The ppl who bullied us for liking sci-fi are now making Star Wars. Trust, the list goes on when you get ya head out of the sand. I think ppl are finally starting to take notice, tho.
@@Doesntmatter-o6wthose who are a bit slow noticed about s decade ago, it is only the low brow mouth breathing and mentally deficient that only caught up in the last 5 years or so.
Nah, you just know these mentally stunted sissies who can't come to terms with their own gender were the ones getting their heads dunked into the toilet on a daily basis.
The Quinari are supposd to represent Islamic push into western society. Making the lead Quinari in the game a litteral alphabet warrior is hilarious in their misunderstanding of that religion
I always read the qunari as the representatives of actual medieval beliefs and values, a means to explore the more alien (to modern people) aspects of medieval culture that fantasy rarely ever addresses. But that still checks out, since one could very easily describe the religion of peace as a social structure stuck in the 6th century from whence it spawned, and the Qun is definitely more "eastern" in flatly prescribing social and political rules.
Lmfao you can add cellulite to your character AND top surgery scars AND vitiligo but I can’t make my character’s ass big to reflect my own big ass? That’s really unfair, I’m feeling very marginalized rn.
Wouldn't getting major surgery be really dicey in a fantasy medieval setting? I mean, if you survive the actual operation, you'll probably end up unalived by gangrene or sepsis.
Married woman in my late 30s here and you would be shocked (no you wouldn’t lol) at how many times I’ve been accused of lying about my gender, being an incel, hating women, being a racist (???), a bigot and whatever else bc I’m tired of character creation that only is capable of making skinny sickly women or big strong-fat muscular women that still have no ass and boobs. I don’t want to see Rosie O’Donnell flailing around with a staff for fucking 90 hours, sorry BioWare.
I hate to be the "well ackshually" but that gigantic percentage isn't that gigantic. People aged 35 to 54 represent 25% of gamers. 60% are 34 and under.
Lets be honest this game was not made by fans of the series and not by anyone who had any respect or such for what came prior. It was another case of some folks wanted to make their own game, got handed the reins of a beloved ip and used it as a skinsuit to put out their own game and got ticked when fans of the ip called them out on their bs.
'Aqun-Athlok' they literally had a word to describe a transgender or non-binary person, it literally describes Taash.. and yet they have to have her angrily refuse it and insist on the modern day 'non binary', because it isn't about lore friendliness, isn't about doing things right in a way that fits the setting.. it's about checking boxes.
I don't even really buy that the qunari would have that term. They're an ideology that enacts an unyielding caste structure of defined roles as determined by the qun and by the circumstances of birth. There is no freedom except that which you are permitted and noncompliance results in death. People don't even retain their names, instead being named in accordance to their role. Order at the cost of absolute loss of autonomy and individuality, but apparently they're also chill with transgender people? Nah.
I have actual anecdotal expirence with this ... well being a gay furry. And I can say we had a greater influx of not just art but unique art during the 2010s and early 2000s. After this stuff took off a lot of artists become heavily involved in pol and stopped drawing or only drew stuff that fit the current "climate". yes the even the corn was better when we were "in the closet".
@@NoahGooder Honestly one of the reasons why furries get so much flack and hate these days is because there are so many now that try to force it into where ever they are at. This includes professional environments.
God thanks for that horrifying realization I hope if I die and somehow get isekaied or reincarnated it's not into a woke game like this that would be worse than all the levels of hell a nightmare so bad it's beyond abuse and damage to the soul.
The german localisation issue, like the french one, is what they have done to spanish for a while now. This is actually what latinx was always about. It is an attempt to create english grammer within other languages so that gender ideology (which exists purely as language manipulation) that is unique to english can be exported into other languages. it is ideological colonization in its purest form, trying to erradicate the language of the colonized.
The DEI representative for CD Projekt complained about employees speaking Polish. Because people in their country speaking their language at work is... offensive I guess? Oh btw, DEI promotes an anti-colonialist ideology. ...
@PsychoWedge exactly all this progressive mess is nothing more than a modern form of cultural imperialism and social colonization (they move in and colonize every area of society and push the native fans/people out of their hobbies and jobs). This is all in order to get rid of any culture or individualism that does conform to their world view, so that everyone will have their rights and cultural identity removed making them easier to coerce into the new global authoritarian government the elites have been trying very hard to establish over the half century. All of this is from the top down, it’s very odd that all the sudden the government, corporations, media, entertainment, and the banks started walking in lock step to push this crap.
WTF they didn't put the whole body on screen and say add scars where you want. Top-surgery applies to such a minute % of gamers it was literally a waste of time and effort to code.
@@EndertheWeek It's also just inherently illogical. If someone were a biological female that believed themselves to be male, and had even chemically/surgically modified their body to try and appear male, and believe they actually were male (ala "transmen are men") then shouldn't they want to just pick the male body? In specifically wanting to identify and appear "trans" it shows they KNOW they aren't actually male, AND don't WANT to actually be seen as a true male. It's wanting it both ways.
Take solace in knowing that the people behaving like that will always be the biggest losers in the room, sucking up to one of the greediest companies in the world for the most senseless pandering in modern day.
Failguard is so successful that Bioware is hunting down the whistleblower that talked about low sales and high refunds. No doubt to reward him with the opportunity to work for a better employer.
Makes perfect sense when you realize they dont actually want acceptance and respect, they want to make you submit to them. And its always been that way, we Christians tried to warn you.
I'm all for supporting and respecting someone, but like they're so un self aware it's mind boggling. Taash constantly just wants everyone to validate them but does nothing to support anyone else. And you can't ever just tell them to chill out and just fight dragons like they were recruited for. Rook is just a therapist and I hate it.
The David responses where crazy. He basically said “oh you want a character to look like you? What a weirdo.” Like…. Is the not the entire argument to why the included all the trans top scars to begin with? But “ oh you wanna look normal? Weirdo bigot” what a buffoon.
29:40 This study in itself is hilarious. They spent money and time for PhD’s to pat themselves on the back for “discovering” 3 things: 1) Attractive characters are chosen more. 2) OP characters are chosen more. 3) Video games are not photos. No shot go look into it. They flower the wording up but that’s the sum whole of what they learned, friggin children I swear.
It's more the old warning that people will say they want a but actually prefer b in practice. Like how when poled most people claim to prefer dark coffee but coffee with milk and cream is much more popular.
That's socialist ideology for ya. China erased their culture because of it, now their people have no qualms stealing, taking bribes and oppress their own people
Classic entitled Americans. Forcing a change to a language they dont speak and then demand you adapt it or you're a bigot/racist/(insert any buzzword) for not doing what you're told. Even though what they make up and demand you follow has absolutely zero bearing or understanding in the language, because again they don't fuckin understand it 😂
Here are some more ideas for future games: Consent-Based Combat. You must ask the enemy for explicit consent before engaging in a fight. Add "inclusion runes" that enchants weapons with +20% representation. Remove damage reduction from armor and add gender expression. Instead of limiting armor based on class, limit it based on culture appropriation. Add vegan health potions made by non-GMO ingredients. Replace blood magic with social justice sorcery. Has spells like "cancel curse" and "virtue beam". Eco friendly spellcasting: Replace mana with a carbon dioxide meter. Casting fireballs causes the meter to increase and summoning trees causes it to decrease. Safe space campsites where your party can take mental health recovery days between quests. Privilege check meter during dialogue. Some choices are only unlocked if your character "checks their privilege" first.
Admittedly, a spell overheat/cool down system where the player must manage different spells to keep from hurting themselves would be a ton of fun, encouraging players to try different spell combos to chain multipliers or set environmental traps. I know you were going for the meme, but honestly, you came up with an interesting gameplay concept.
@@Foreseer117 I'll take it a step further, I want more games to have more drawbacks to playing a spellcaster, other than low defense and cooldowns. Give me elemental overloads, give me wild magic, give me arcane recoil, I'm so sick of casters just being better than everyone else by default and having barely any drawbacks (unless magic being rare and OP is what you're going for, in which case, fair enough.)
“Women make fun of chicks uglier than them and hate women better looking than them, that’s the bottom line, that’s how they roll, even if the chick is digital” had me dying😂😂
These developers act as if seeing a gay person in a game is soooo rare and that when you do see one, it's revolutionary. They forget though that it's in EVERY game now. It's not special if it's in a game anymore. It's f*cking status quo now.
No one. No one talks like that. It's the kind of dialogue that one can only expect from a writer with an extremely saturated and unnatural color of hair.
Qunari were far and away my #1 fave thing about Dragon Age, always awesome and badass whether you're fighting them or fighting with them or just talking to them. With an actual cool fantasy culture that isn't just a direct real-life stereotype imitation, too. Buyerbeware went and turned their big winning point into gaylings for the "friendly" ones and a one-note thoughtless caricature on "men bad, armies bad" as an opponent faction.
Putting in non-binary characters will help people like them! Destiny 2: Most hated character. Dragon Age the Veilguard: Most hated character. Good job, well done.
@@NoahGooderthe more they hurt them, the more they can point at the negative opinion and say “look, we need to make another character to change public opinion! Pay us!”
@@kielbasamage- it's hilarious because there's no way to polish people who are so narcissistic they need other people to see them in a particular way. There's no such thing as non binary, so people can't see anyone is non binary. The label could apply to 99.999% of the population as nobody is 100% a gender as they define them
To quote Carver "I don't hate that you're a mage, I hate that you don't shut up about it". We don't hate that you're gay, or pan or trans, we only hate that you don't have a personality beyond that and don't shut up about it.
That moment when DA2, a tragically rushed game and some of the last work Bioware put out before The Great Wokening, manages to pre-emptively take down woke preaching with one line, the same preaching that the entirety of later-"Bioware" output has gradually become strictly limited to.
“Representation” is just a way to explain their narcissism. If you can’t sympathize or identify with someone just because they don’t look like you, you’re the problem. By their own logic, “allies” shouldn’t exist.
Taash and the people around her coddling her behavior and crappy attitude are a self-insert character and a ideal reality where the main writer lives his perfect fantasy life, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
I once joked about Mass Effect characters introducing themselves by their sexual orientation first and their name second. That was almost ten years ago.
We've been loving the comedy since 2016, they meltdown because they can't force people to believe things whilst complaining that the neutral stance that not forcing people to believe things is bigotry. They have no self awareness
The boots of twerking, the ear rings of hate block, the ring of confirmation bias, the hot topic casual wear set (pieces dropped separately, gives a boost to how fast others leave a conversation with you, full set automatically skips dialogue and plays the worst of cd sets from edgy emo 80's to now bands)
"You guys do realize dragon age veilguard is rate-M, right? Scars and stuff on character customizations?" Suurre, but when anime games with bouncy assets and uncensored stuff are also rated-M, those folks will cry, "unrealistic." 🤦♀️🤦♂️ Western hypocrisy.
Tbf they know if you had any choice you'd do literally anyone but them I mean fucking hell i thought ugly people were supposed to have a good Personaitly to make up for being uglier than sin
Ppl gotta work for a good attractive physique and a good personality. but Western people don't want to work but want everyone else to worship and praise them. Ludicrous
And don't even get me started on MASTECTOMY SCARS on characters who can literally use MAGIC - an canonically DO - to make themselves look exactly like the opposite sex. They don't even have surgery in the Dragon Age world! They have potions and magic! The only person who ever did any sort of surgery was the Architect - a darkspawn - from Awakening and I'm pretty sure that was limited to drawing blood.
That kind shows you how uncreative these people are and how sucked into the modern day they've become. They couldn't even imagine how might this shot work in the world. Just slap it in, call it a day, looks good, ship it!
As a former high school/college theater kid & English major, I repent. I thought I was gonna get dates. All that happened was I read a lot of depressing existential plays and had to hide my conservative beliefs.
Create the art that you wish to see! Write a small 1 act, or a short story. You need not share or publish it. But it might make you feel excited for the future again
Surgery scars?! Surgery scars?!?!?!?!? Are you effing kidding me? That's actually insanity. We have the option of adding mutilation scars? Can we have cigarette burns and box-cutter scars too? How about tattoos of bands we used to like 20 years ago? This is actually insanity...
Really kinda reveals that it's more of a fetish than anything. Why not just write in magic that makes gender alternation a thing? No one wants surgery scars in real life. If the women who cut themselves up to look like men could just magically make themselves men, I'm sure they would. Same goes for trans women. No one wants a mutilated member, they want the real deal. If they could, they'd just magic themselves a whoo hah.
The juxtaposition between ancient dragon hag being an ancient dragon hag and mostly selling the bit and HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE DRAGONS!? hurts me on a deep level.
Wa-wait, wait, wait, wait. This is supposed to be a world set during like medieval times, and they have gender confirming surgery in the game? What in the world.
Which is sad given that for Monster Hunter it took until Worlds to start putting effort into theirs or into their games as a whole. Can't wait for Wilds, probably should go finish Rise.
As someone with vitiligo i have NEVER wanted to see it in game. yes please let me add skin blemishes to my fantasy game to remind me of being made fun of my entire childhood. so stunning and brave
Wait are you trying to say you wanted to create an idealized character in a fantasy game? I was told that you could only like something if you see yourself.
"what? why? who doesn`t like dragons?"
uttered in a universe where dragons are a calamity and everybody hates them being around. yeah okay.
It feels like something out of a isekai story, and that's bad, real bad if you wanna make me feel like this character belongs to the universe they're in.
That'd be the real world equivalent of saying "Who doesn't like terrorists? They're awesome!"
shhh females claim logic is sexist.
It’d be like a character from Berk suddenly spouting that 🙄
“Who doesn’t like dragons? - said with 100% seriousness not even a generation out of an old god returning as a dragon and almost destroying all life with the dark spawn. But at least now we have dragons looking like they’re out of dragon tales. Dragons went from terrifying to pretty much sparkly lizards with wings, absolute joke of a franchise and company. Dragon age hasn’t been the same since 2, inquisition was full of this crap too just wasn’t as shoved down our throats as it is now
It pisses me off how these types of people will act like you are some kind of pervert for wanting characters that don't look like a Portland crackhead but then they push for this weirdly horny dialog and sex scenes.

And they’re perfectly fine with Males being Sexy. In fact they’re WET for it! I don’t play games to rub to em, so seeing characters more clothed and less appealing doesn’t bother me. What bothers me are these HACK journalists and developers trying to hotdog and grandstand on how better they are than you when they also come off like massive Pricks.
They don't have issue with you wanting sex appeal
They have an issue with you wanting the WRONG kinda sexy
Only their weird fetishes and orientations should be depicted
They are hypocrites, they want to push their reality onto us.

Taash is also as ugly, mannish, and (very likely) foul-smelling as a typical septum-ring person, as well.

I can respect that some people's intellects preclude them from seeing through surface-level controversy and finding a deeper gaming experience. Some people are blinded by their ideology, and that's their prerogative.
I swear the top reason you can't be evil in this game is because they were afraid you might be mean to the writer's self-insert.

4) And if it is, that's not my fault.
5) And if it was, I didn't mean it.
6) And if I did, you deserved it.

Sten was the best companion BECAUSE of his bigotry. The only person he respected was your dog, and that's because your dog couldn't pretend to be anything but your dog. He's confused with a female Warden, he challenges leadership, and only respects you when you prove yourself. It's character development and it is so satisfying to win him over.
Honestly we need more people like Sten now. Not the murderous rage part, but the part where he expects you to prove your capabilities. People these days don't know respect is to be earned, not demanded
I remember him being really whiny about every single thing, there was no way to make him happy, then he challenged my warden to a fistfight and lost immediately, and ran off all pouty about it. I remember thinking it was such a cool feature that if you didn't like a party member they could dislike you back enough to leave. Now you're not even allowed to dislike them, let alone fight them.
Legit I was just playing Dragon Age origins on my PS3 last night, and i remember being in Denarem with Sten, Lilliana & Wynn, and i remember Sten literally said “ Lilliana why are you a warrior? Are not women supposed to be priestess, artisans, cooks, housekeepers? “ and I seeing Lilliana in complete shock of what he said, I truly loved it. I was “ ugh hello… Based Department? “ its just sad to see we can’t get writing like that anymore thanks to degenerate socialists trying to force all to be the same.
He's such a jackas and being an ahole back at him is so satisfying. (Currently on my first DAO playthrough)
Sten: "Where is the cake? I was told there would be cake. The cake is a lie."
I remember when gay people said they just wanted to be treated like everyone else. Then they found out if you get treated like everyone else no cares about your sexuality.
The Community was like "Wait, this isn't why Jesus told people not to do what we do! We're trying to rebel against Him, not just be a bit fruity!"
Let's be honest here, none of those guys are actual "gay" people. They're mostly straight gender havers who saw that gay people were treated well some years ago (when they just got their rights) and got jealous that everyone forgot about them. They identify as gay, but never "with" gay.

Taash was the perfect character for the "modern audience."

Perfection. 😂
The mother did nothing wrong.
they were clearly trying to show that the mother was in the wrong when in fact she ended up based.
"Trash" also treats everyone like garbage, doesn't respect their preferences and what they like to be called as (the mage and Dragon King), makes everything all about herself, is weak and useless as a fighter, and has a face only a mother could love (the safe way of putting it, hoping UA-cam doesn't auto-delete my comment) yet still disrespects her own mother.

There are some actors who played themselves and became iconic, Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr is a prime example.

And this - this is just a screaming child, who refuses to communicate and grow up.

It's exactly why I don't feel bad for these people when they lose their jobs. Their arrogance and holier-than-thou mentality is sickening.

"Can you imagine how many lifes this is going to save?"
7:00 You know what? Imma say it. You should never, ever, in your entire acting career, be able to say "I bring something to the character because I, in the real world, am x". There is never a way in which that is not detrimental. You are an actor. Your job is to lie to me and make me believe it. When the core of your lie is "I am not lying, I know this" you are a bad liar. All lies have grains of truth, but that grain is not one that should be large, nor should it be directly connected to the liar, as that is how the truth is found out, a truth which you are solely required to conceal. If you think "I bring something to this role because of who I am" you are a bad actor.

W comment
As a person who has been a fan of American superhero comics for my entire life, I'm telling you for the past ten years, we've had writers leading projects because of their DEI qualities. The only story they are capable of telling is autobiographical and they have crashed the entire market. If they are gay, the heroes will be made gay, and used as puppets to tell the story of the writer. Some stories like this are definitely worthwhile but the issue is every single story can't be that. A story has an inciting incident, a journey, a crisis and a resolution in basic terms. Every story can't be an in-depth character study of what it means to be non-binary. It simply doesn't work. It's contrary to the story telling formula. Narcissistic talentless writers only write about themselves, their dull lives, the dull non-incidents of being misgendered. The games industry needs to look at American comics and TAKE THE WARNING. Meanwhile, manga sales continue to rise...

I always read the qunari as the representatives of actual medieval beliefs and values, a means to explore the more alien (to modern people) aspects of medieval culture that fantasy rarely ever addresses. But that still checks out, since one could very easily describe the religion of peace as a social structure stuck in the 6th century from whence it spawned, and the Qun is definitely more "eastern" in flatly prescribing social and political rules.

'Aqun-Athlok' they literally had a word to describe a transgender or non-binary person, it literally describes Taash.. and yet they have to have her angrily refuse it and insist on the modern day 'non binary', because it isn't about lore friendliness, isn't about doing things right in a way that fits the setting.. it's about checking boxes.
eugh, thanks 4 the tip but... pls dont give them ideas to retcon the already harmed legacy of DA
I don't even really buy that the qunari would have that term. They're an ideology that enacts an unyielding caste structure of defined roles as determined by the qun and by the circumstances of birth. There is no freedom except that which you are permitted and noncompliance results in death. People don't even retain their names, instead being named in accordance to their role. Order at the cost of absolute loss of autonomy and individuality, but apparently they're also chill with transgender people? Nah.

the irony of the they them demanding acceptance and respect, but not respecting the necromancers magic still baffles me
Makes perfect sense when you realize they dont actually want acceptance and respect, they want to make you submit to them.
And its always been that way, we Christians tried to warn you.
@dorugoramon0518 just like Necromancers! Except Necromancers won't lie to you; they tell you off the rip they want your soul.
Those that demand respect deserve none.
Those that deserve respect demand none.
Quiet bigot.. 🤤
I'm all for supporting and respecting someone, but like they're so un self aware it's mind boggling. Taash constantly just wants everyone to validate them but does nothing to support anyone else. And you can't ever just tell them to chill out and just fight dragons like they were recruited for. Rook is just a therapist and I hate it.
The David responses where crazy. He basically said “oh you want a character to look like you? What a weirdo.” Like…. Is the not the entire argument to why the included all the trans top scars to begin with? But “ oh you wanna look normal? Weirdo bigot” what a buffoon.

This study in itself is hilarious. They spent money and time for PhD’s to pat themselves on the back for “discovering” 3 things:
1) Attractive characters are chosen more.
2) OP characters are chosen more.
3) Video games are not photos.
No shot go look into it. They flower the wording up but that’s the sum whole of what they learned, friggin children I swear.
They had terrible childhood but they never grow up since then so they wanted you to feel bad about them by ruining your hobby.
You'd be surprised how low a PhD would sink to feel important
It's more the old warning that people will say they want a but actually prefer b in practice. Like how when poled most people claim to prefer dark coffee but coffee with milk and cream is much more popular.
Well when the institution is plagued by plagiarists so much they are in charge of it, it has systematically failed.
How these things aren't inherently obvious is bizarre.

That dialogue sounds so normal and organic
"Hello, fellow human beings; I too like to engage in normal human behaviors."
@@nuclearmedicineman6270 They make Edgar from Men in Black look good
"Someone who substitutes reality for fantasy and fantasy for reality" sums it up perfectly. These people are sick.
In Polish, they also twisted and invented neo-verbs, neo-pronounces which is disgraceful to do to my language.
They hate you and want you dead based Polack, never forget that
That's socialist ideology for ya. China erased their culture because of it, now their people have no qualms stealing, taking bribes and oppress their own people
Seems like they started it with Spanish and are trying to expand to other languages.
The cancer is metastasizing.
Classic entitled Americans. Forcing a change to a language they dont speak and then demand you adapt it or you're a bigot/racist/(insert any buzzword) for not doing what you're told. Even though what they make up and demand you follow has absolutely zero bearing or understanding in the language, because again they don't fuckin understand it 😂
Here are some more ideas for future games:
Consent-Based Combat. You must ask the enemy for explicit consent before engaging in a fight.
Add "inclusion runes" that enchants weapons with +20% representation.
Remove damage reduction from armor and add gender expression.
Instead of limiting armor based on class, limit it based on culture appropriation.
Add vegan health potions made by non-GMO ingredients.
Replace blood magic with social justice sorcery. Has spells like "cancel curse" and "virtue beam".
Eco friendly spellcasting: Replace mana with a carbon dioxide meter. Casting fireballs causes the meter to increase and summoning trees causes it to decrease.
Safe space campsites where your party can take mental health recovery days between quests.
Privilege check meter during dialogue. Some choices are only unlocked if your character "checks their privilege" first.
Isn’t “Consent Based Combat” just dueling?
Admittedly, a spell overheat/cool down system where the player must manage different spells to keep from hurting themselves would be a ton of fun, encouraging players to try different spell combos to chain multipliers or set environmental traps. I know you were going for the meme, but honestly, you came up with an interesting gameplay concept.
@@Foreseer117 I'll take it a step further, I want more games to have more drawbacks to playing a spellcaster, other than low defense and cooldowns. Give me elemental overloads, give me wild magic, give me arcane recoil, I'm so sick of casters just being better than everyone else by default and having barely any drawbacks (unless magic being rare and OP is what you're going for, in which case, fair enough.)
@@gs4011 I'm in total agreement, I want a really cool, fleshed out magic system with real gameplay drawbacks.
Ubisoft virtue beaming hard af with this one.
“Women make fun of chicks uglier than them and hate women better looking than them, that’s the bottom line, that’s how they roll, even if the chick is digital” had me dying😂😂
In this case the game was directed by a man pretending to be a woman who hates women that are better looking than him.
Forgot to mention the gaslighting where everyone's a 10.
@nustaniel it's hilarious when they gaslight a Gorlock into believing it's a 10
He's absolutely right. I'm surrounded by those same chicks at work.
They also keep telling the uglies that they are pretty so they don't try to change anything and become new competition.
These developers act as if seeing a gay person in a game is soooo rare and that when you do see one, it's revolutionary. They forget though that it's in EVERY game now. It's not special if it's in a game anymore. It's f*cking status quo now.
Game Journalists: *"Return to Form"*

Who the hell starts a conversation with "Uh... I'm non-bindary"
Especially since they created the in-game aqun-athlok. Nonbinary sounds too modern for the setting.
Someone who wants something from you
@@seagrey75Amazing
Even still, they act as if it's like coming out that you're gay, when really it's like stating you're a flat-earther.
No one. No one talks like that. It's the kind of dialogue that one can only expect from a writer with an extremely saturated and unnatural color of hair.
Damn, Qunari used to be a dangerous and badass race with a special culture and advanced technology. Now they're just discount gay tieflings.
Qunari were far and away my #1 fave thing about Dragon Age, always awesome and badass whether you're fighting them or fighting with them or just talking to them. With an actual cool fantasy culture that isn't just a direct real-life stereotype imitation, too. Buyerbeware went and turned their big winning point into gaylings for the "friendly" ones and a one-note thoughtless caricature on "men bad, armies bad" as an opponent faction.
hahaha nice one
I was debating whether or not to watch this long form content. However, after 15 seconds... I'm hooked! See you on the other side.
Putting in non-binary characters will help people like them!
Destiny 2: Most hated character.
Dragon Age the Veilguard: Most hated character.
Good job, well done.
they are hurting the very people they hoped to uplift.
@@NoahGooderthe more they hurt them, the more they can point at the negative opinion and say “look, we need to make another character to change public opinion! Pay us!”
Pushing BS quite often backfires... Just ask Kamala.
@@Chad6oHer accent switchups were repulsive
@@kielbasamage- it's hilarious because there's no way to polish people who are so narcissistic they need other people to see them in a particular way. There's no such thing as non binary, so people can't see anyone is non binary. The label could apply to 99.999% of the population as nobody is 100% a gender as they define them
To quote Carver "I don't hate that you're a mage, I hate that you don't shut up about it". We don't hate that you're gay, or pan or trans, we only hate that you don't have a personality beyond that and don't shut up about it.
That moment when DA2, a tragically rushed game and some of the last work Bioware put out before The Great Wokening, manages to pre-emptively take down woke preaching with one line, the same preaching that the entirety of later-"Bioware" output has gradually become strictly limited to.
I hate it
Well yes, that, but also the fact that you're not normal.
Nope. Now it’s I hate that they are in society and want them out. They did it to themselves.
Well said! Great quote and analysis! Also, Flementh [ 00:00:58 ] was right all along, and her Prophecy became true!!!
“Representation” is just a way to explain their narcissism. If you can’t sympathize or identify with someone just because they don’t look like you, you’re the problem. By their own logic, “allies” shouldn’t exist.
It also them disguising there bigotry
They need 'representation' so they can 'see themself'. You don't need 'representation', because they want you to not exist.
Exactly, if they meet someone in real life that come from a different culture and country, do they just scream until that person leaves?
Empathy is not theirs. Never was.
Jade Empire was the first game I ever got from my very first game console on the xbox original. I absolutely adore that game
Taash and the people around her coddling her behavior and crappy attitude are a self-insert character and a ideal reality where the main writer lives his perfect fantasy life, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Trash=literally the head gaydev.
If Taash was a dude, the character would be labeled as creepy. All that growling and innuendo.
I read that as Trash.
Saw a goldy that goes
Player: 'Can you point me to he Guild?'
NPC: 'Yes, it's down the street and to the left. By the way, I'm gay.'
I once joked about Mass Effect characters introducing themselves by their sexual orientation first and their name second. That was almost ten years ago.
Those jokes used to be about vegans, now they're about gays. Funny how times change.
When the woke era is gone the comedy written about this time period will be golden
It's already starting lol
Heheh, society won't last long enough for an introspective research session into the past - these daemonz still control the education system.
We've been loving the comedy since 2016, they meltdown because they can't force people to believe things whilst complaining that the neutral stance that not forcing people to believe things is bigotry. They have no self awareness
If I wanted to get lectured by HR, why should I pay 60$. I can just go to work and get the same experience for free.
This is the cult of narcissism and selfishness in modern society
I'm sure the modern audience will come in any moment now and rescue this game with phenomenal sales numbers...
how are they supposed to find the time to in between buying up copies of Concorde and Dustborn?
I'm not holding my breath..
Any minute now!
Its not about sales. They know nobody will buy them- they were already paid by dubious third parties
@@oktagon4546 correct
Gendermancer sounds like a mid-tier boss in a WoW raid, dropping loot so shitty that even hunters wouldn't want it.
The boots of twerking, the ear rings of hate block, the ring of confirmation bias, the hot topic casual wear set (pieces dropped separately, gives a boost to how fast others leave a conversation with you, full set automatically skips dialogue and plays the worst of cd sets from edgy emo 80's to now bands)
Valeu!
"You guys do realize dragon age veilguard is rate-M, right? Scars and stuff on character customizations?"
Suurre, but when anime games with bouncy assets and uncensored stuff are also rated-M, those folks will cry, "unrealistic." 🤦♀️🤦♂️
Western hypocrisy.
Western?
Just LBGTQIAMSC+ hypocrisy.
Tbf they know if you had any choice you'd do literally anyone but them
I mean fucking hell i thought ugly people were supposed to have a good Personaitly to make up for being uglier than sin
Where are the jumblies in this game? I have seen exactly ZERO so far.
Ppl gotta work for a good attractive physique and a good personality. but Western people don't want to work but want everyone else to worship and praise them. Ludicrous
And don't even get me started on MASTECTOMY SCARS on characters who can literally use MAGIC - an canonically DO - to make themselves look exactly like the opposite sex. They don't even have surgery in the Dragon Age world! They have potions and magic! The only person who ever did any sort of surgery was the Architect - a darkspawn - from Awakening and I'm pretty sure that was limited to drawing blood.
That kind shows you how uncreative these people are and how sucked into the modern day they've become. They couldn't even imagine how might this shot work in the world. Just slap it in, call it a day, looks good, ship it!
@@Godzillapuffytotally agree. This, really, is what the issue is with this game lol
Freddie Mercury may be gay, but that mustache puts him on a level of masculinity that the current generation only dreams of reaching.
Pretty sure he was only gay so he could share the testosterone. Has to be the reason.
Good thing, too. His overbite was very pronounced.
Also had aids. Purely coincidental I’m sure
The character Creator reveal quite literally killed whatever small interest I still had in this game.
And I also been a Dragon Age fan since Origin.
As a former high school/college theater kid & English major, I repent. I thought I was gonna get dates. All that happened was I read a lot of depressing existential plays and had to hide my conservative beliefs.
All is forgiven my child. Go now in peace, and speak the based words of Chud.

The first step to salvation is to admit to your sins.

Surgery scars?!
Surgery scars?!?!?!?!?
Are you effing kidding me?
That's actually insanity. We have the option of adding mutilation scars?
Can we have cigarette burns and box-cutter scars too?
How about tattoos of bands we used to like 20 years ago?
This is actually insanity...
I'd take a Linkin Park tattoo editor over visible mental illness.
I mean I guess you can wear Ativan Crow tattoos but yeah. Even logistically if someone wanted to change boob size I feel like magic could manage...
They support surgery ONLY if you CUT OFF your bits. If you wanted breast implants, they'd say it's unrealistic and call you an incel.
Really kinda reveals that it's more of a fetish than anything. Why not just write in magic that makes gender alternation a thing? No one wants surgery scars in real life. If the women who cut themselves up to look like men could just magically make themselves men, I'm sure they would. Same goes for trans women. No one wants a mutilated member, they want the real deal. If they could, they'd just magic themselves a whoo hah.
I'm just curious what one of their mediaeval gender affirming clinics looks like.
Do they feed the off-cuts to the Mabari Hounds?
The juxtaposition between ancient dragon hag being an ancient dragon hag and mostly selling the bit and HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE DRAGONS!? hurts me on a deep level.
Wa-wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is supposed to be a world set during like medieval times, and they have gender confirming surgery in the game?
What in the world.
"When you bow, they take your head, so hold it high or _lose_ it."

Monster Hunter and Code Vein have Some of the best Character Creators
Which is sad given that for Monster Hunter it took until Worlds to start putting effort into theirs or into their games as a whole. Can't wait for Wilds, probably should go finish Rise.

As someone with vitiligo i have NEVER wanted to see it in game. yes please let me add skin blemishes to my fantasy game to remind me of being made fun of my entire childhood. so stunning and brave
I honestly dont understand how they wanted that and also the cellulite. I can theretically understand the scars but the other 2 heck no.
Honestly they only seems to use vitiligo as an accessory than any kind of representation.
Most people who want representation were never bullied, they just like the status advocating for it provides. It's a form of stolen valor.
Wait are you trying to say you wanted to create an idealized character in a fantasy game? I was told that you could only like something if you see yourself.
