I know in the 100+ hours I played Inquisition, there was a 20 second conversation where my MC got a supporting character’s gender wrong (as they were transgender), the MC apologized, and the other character didn’t make a big deal about it. Oh…no?
Yeah, I don’t see why this is a big deal either. A massive, lengthy game and some people focus heavily on stuff that didn’t even take 0.1% of the playtime. And no, I’m not counting three of the party members being LGBT. Obviously romancing a companion is an element of gameplay so, big shock, they tried to give players options. Honestly I was more upset you couldn’t fully romance the dwarf scout Harding, she was cute, but Josephine was a decent second option.
Agreed.
Thats how I see a lot of this.
Merely existing is not a fucking agenda lol.
Whats even more sad, is I've heard that argument by SJW THEMSELVES, they made some argument about Uncharted and a bunch of games with white males as the characters and made it seem as if some deep, dark conspiracy MUST be taking place when none of the fucking games they even brought up factor such a thing, nothing in the game's topic is about said demographic and most can't even prove some world domination tinfoil conspiracy. This here is no different.
So in the universe of Dragon Age, I'd assume factions exist, different races exist, differences even within races exist ie Dark Elf or something or yes....different genders, why the fuck would their world not have gay people? lol That would be if anything more strange and odd, it would be like me making a RPG and be like "oh yea the world here has no females" and not actually focus the story on such a wild concept, even a scifi with such a world would likely make that concept the main idea or something sorta like Children Of Men or something. Either way, I grow tired of such low hanging fruit trigger bait type shit where people get upset at shit that doesn't really make that much sense to get upset at....
Even in a crazy fantasy game, I assume different factions exist, religions, regions, beliefs and ideals regarding governing, races and yes, different genders. Being fantasy doesn't automatically mean zero concepts from the real world would be in the game, that would be like saying something fucking stupid like why doesn't grass, or the sun or the moon exist in this game and be like "its Da FnSastyz" as an excuse. Existing in a game doesn't automatically lean towards one idea being favored or the other, unless some dumbass is going to argue all developers have an agenda to support and push for murder or something lol
