IIRC Sten became the next Arishok after DA2? I wish we could have seen him in Inquisition, but I feel like he's too non-PC to come back in the franchise. Wokeists can't even depict villains as something-phobe, let alone a good guy.
She wasn't even that racist, she thought maybe earth shouldn't start bootlicking the one-world government where the species that fought humans is on the security council and humanity isn't
Tbh with how Qunari view gender, I actually think this is interesting. What is her caste? Why doesn't it have a gender? That's a cool concept... if you're an actual dragon age fan
It was very clear if you played as a women, Sten just couldn't figure you out. You're a woman, you look like a woman and insist you're a woman, but you're also a warrior and a warriors are men. Iirc he eventually just decides you're a man regardless of what you say.
Then if gender was associated with role and he was confused by gender working outside their role, you'd think the quanari had a solution for genderquestionables. But then iron bull lectures you in 3 when you ask him what is a woman. In between the dragon age games, has there been a quanari schism over gender and these veilguard characters' appearances are explained in game as the new regime's official gender expressions?
Also pretty interesting character concept! In a society that ties gender and caste so closely together, this chick who clearly wants to be close to her heritage is literally nothing. It reminds me of Magnus from Arcanum.
I mean it's modern Bioware so it will be shit, but the idea isn't a terrible one.
I for one await the time when we can finally accept horned women with receding hairlines as true images of beauty. Also obese scaly women with lazy eyes that point in different directions... so hot
You say this and i guarantee if you post other standards of beauty most would at least agree they're attractive. People are attracted to things because they have good genes. The characters these dumbasses design looks like it'd pop a tard baby.
Dont worry, thanks to modern efforts your feeble easily brainwashed mind will be saying "at least ten years ago video game girls were hot!" While pointing at the lady in this game.
And are trying to desexualize races and species which were created mostly for fan service
That's why Qunari, like Asari got uglier each game
Both of these were very fanservicy to begin with and thus attractive
One were a blue, bisexual and horny, all female alien race.
Other - obviously dominatrix type of a species, like Drow, but with attractive males, also and more muscular and tall women.
Qunari were little less of a obvious fanservice compared to Asari and many women played Inquisition so there at least was a 'hot' male Qunari follower in that game.
Thus at least with inquisition - it one could say that Male characters were still attractive for the girls and the gays.
And post about hypocrisy of it all
But looking at the followers in the newest Veilguard game?
Idk - one male and one female character can be considered good looking
Others are mid or fugly
And it boggles my mind, why?
For people, who care for romances in vydia - None of them want to romance fugly characters
Same with people who care much about character creation
Most of 'girlg*mers' I've seen posting their characters in multiple rpg games online, they are trying to make them attractive
That bioware made female characters of two species specifically created by former devs as fanservice less attractive in an attempt to desexualize them.
Which is not always a bad thing
That they still had hot dudes in inquisition to attract female or gay male fan base?
Which is not a bad thing, look how many women and gay dudes play BG3
Or that both male and female followers are mostly ugly by comparison in Veilguard and some look like a racial caricature a righthoid would make?
Apparently sell, so good for them, I applaud them that they managed to find someone to make money off other than straight dudes.
One thing I dislike the fanbase and devs for doing is - still pretending they are not catering to their new top buying demographic and reeeing about oh, no only an incel would find her or him ugly.
Just go with it like other games did.
It's like with remakes of movies - Own it twats, or do you need that chinese and middle east market that much
People at the top desperately knowing they need to shift/grow their customer base and for some reason listening to ideologically driven r-slurs who say the only way forward is appealing to uggos and s.
Why the money people trust the r-slurs, who knows. Maybe they've always trusted r-slurs and made money by coincidence, maybe they're sucked into the ideology too, maybe black rock DEI initiatives have so filled the ranks with r-slurs that there are few non-r-slurs to give good opinions.

The Quanari were entirely and utterly ruined in inquisition when they made them playable but with no options to actually roleplay as one. Any mystique they had was destroyed. Idk why they even bother bringing them back to this game.
TBH I think it was pretty clear that DA:I was probably originally meant to be played as Human and Elf only since the story is tied mostly around those two races (Humans with the Chantry and the Dalish Elves with Solas, the Orlesian Dales, the Veil stuff and the late game + Tresspaser DLC pretty much focus on the elven pantheon)) but then they decided to add in Dwarves and Qunari in because people complained so much about being locked in as Hawke in DA2.

They are trying to lure new userbase
And are trying to desexualize races and species which were created mostly for fan service

Apparently it was like 50 50 on last Dragon age game
Women liked it like the Sims
Again it's okay, make and play your games, buy millions of copies of it
Pbut don't pretend that you still do equal fan service for everyone.
somehow on supposedly inclusive online spaces, it's always the dude g*mers fault
It's either, 'you are insecure if you don't want to play as a butch lesbian'
Or if you play and still critique the game for other legitimate reason and not that it has da gays
They say
'this game wasn't made for you, don't play it'
'fine'
'noo, return or I will call you sexist'
But just go and open any 'girlg*mer' forum and you will see hundreds of post like this
'i refuse to play or support a game if it has only male protagonist'
Ironically even if he is a queer or a racial minority or both
Girl g*mers were mad at both ac syndicate, which still had canonically existing male protagonist ( he was first bi male protagonist in AAA title btw)
And Mirage ( for a middle eastern man as a protagonist)
If those were comments made in male forum they would be marked as racist and biphobic
