=====
Does anyone really think this is good writing? I am flabbergasted honestly. I posted a rant a couple days ago complaining about some things but I have come back with more. After 60 hours of playing and doing a 100%. I'm just disappointed.
1. I just don't understand what this game is supposed to be, a decade for what? To find out it's some spoky creepy illuminati working in shadows to destroy the world/evanuris? I have no idea. As soon as I saw the epilogue with Loghain, it solidified my experience with this game. Bioware can't write for shit anymore. Might be my personal opinion but why does there always need to be a greater evil, why is it evil at all? Solas was a great example, I didn't think he was evil in Inquisition, just someone faced with impossible odds and terrible choices. Someone driven by guilt. I could understand that.
2. And that last bit of the game took one of the most complex and beautifully written villains, and turned him into a puppet?? Loghain no longer has any deeper motivations for his betrayal, fueled by trauma and loss. Nah. He had no say. Frick that.
3. And who was writing the emotional dialogue here, how am I supposed to take anyone seriously when most of the companions reactions to something traumatic is idk, shit, that's tough, oof... What the heck man....
4. Speaking of dialogue why the frick am I so supportive of everyone, I can't even call out someone for being stupid, like Lucanis for sparing Ilario??? Dude, this man is responsible for most of the destruction in your city???
5. While I'm talking about companions, I felt like I was surrounded by children all the darn time. What is up with all the darn picnics, Darvin had like 4 and Emmerich and Harding were having an "argument" (ooh drama) about how many books they were gonna bring on their little outing... There are moments when these characters shine bright with their stories and pain, and then, you show me they're actually just very dumb and I can't call it out.
6. It all seems like it was supposed to be a dnd game, because I'm constantly reminded by that DnD movie with a Chris. Which was fun but it ain't Dragon Age. In an effort to create something new, they made the established lore and factions feel like caricatures.
7. And why are there so many factions? Because it just drags the game down. There's no reason for them to be there. Mourn Watchers and Lords of Fortune, what the heck was the point of them here, the game could have been fine without them. And apparently everyone has beef with the gods and we arrive just in time to clean up the mess. But somehow in certain situations like the griffins being kidnapped at the very beginning of the game don't get to be blighted until the very end and again, we came just at the right time! Lucky!
8. Last time I also mentioned why are some factions allied with the gods. Like Venatori, and everyone says well they know he's Lusacan. And yeah that'd be fine, if most of them still didn't call him Elgar'nan! And he's right there with his pointy ears, and they're all like frick yeah Tevinter supremacy brah!! I'd think most of them would be facing an existential crisis, their gods are not dragons but filthy knife ears, how can this be?! The rest would be in denial. All in all, this is stupid.
There's just so much wrong with this game and so little that's right. Dragon Age got Game of Thrones'd, because this is exactly like season 8. Just shit on everything and be done with it.
At least I gotta congratulate them for releasing a full game, without any EA bullshit. But still 10 years of a wait, and I would be glad it's finally over... BUT APPARENTLY NOT!!
So yeah, goodbye Dragon Age, David Gaider was carrying you hard.
=====
also they cry because the concept art was by order of magnitude better than the clearly deliberate fuglification of the soys
"you think it's bad now, just wait until you see the artbook and what we could have gotten but they decided to scrap. It's so stupid how when they got permission to go back to making a single player game they didn't pick up where they left off and decided to instead rework the entire story/style and make something shallow. The past version of the game is what everyone expected this game to be, even our worldstate mattered.

In ancient Persia they had a special law for patricide. This was considered the worst possible offense you could ever do, so the law had all kinds of bizarre horrible tortures to do before they were executed.
But 2500 years ago, contrary to what some of you r-slurs imagine, they were actually human beings just like us.
Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.
-- Machiavelli
Nobody actually wanted to do these tortures. So they conveniently discovered that everyone who killed their father had actually been switched at birth, so they could just execute him the normal way.
I think we need to apply the same standard to sidevoters sometimes. It's a crime so incomprehensible that you can't believe someone would do it on purpose. I choose to believe that when I get sidevoted it's because they're on mobile and it's raining and their click just didn't register.

Okay, if you insist on being guilty, we can sew you up in a bag with a cat, a chicken, a snake, a monkey, and a turtle and toss you into the river.
(Not making this up. This was a Roman thing. I can't remember the exact animals, but somebody had picked out really well about 5 animals that would not just panic because of drowning but also find their worst enemy in the bag with them. The turtle was one where I don't know how this works, but I am confident that the psycho genius who made this up knows about some interaction between turtles and other animals that I don't. Neighba, you can show me test scores that say people are getting smarter but we have nobody that creative anymore.)
I suspect that like the doppelganger thing this was something never really did but it was used to force people into plea bargains where they agreed to just be killed normally.

!g*mers !anime !effortposters
@Nightcrawler I would really appreciate if Kaamrev did an effortpost about the history and current status of the vidya and anime industry and fandom in South Africa, and maybe in Sub-Saharan Africa in general! (they are already popular in North Africa, and it inevitably overlaps with the g*mers and weebcels in the rest of the Arab World), I do not care about Dragon Age in specific, but I would really want to know more about the African g*mers and weebshitters!

The history of gaming in different countries in the 1980s-2000s can be wildly different and the effects are still felt today. Like in Russia in the 1990s-2000s (this applies to parts of Eastern Europe as well) they were buying used computers a few years out of date, so they didn't get into the FPS craze of the time. Instead they played RPGs like Fallout, Baldur's Gate, etc. and actually developed their intellect instead of their trigger finger.
You see two results today: they're making highbrow AA games like Encased in the same style but with interesting new content. And RPG Codex is full of insane Slavs who have never met a black person but spend all day talking about how much they fear them.
I don't know if the sanctions on South Africa would have affected this, but it would be interesting how they coped if it did. I remember one of my agents in Iran telling me that as a kid she had an Atari ST. Which I suspect is because they would have been importing through European distributors who hadn't gotten on the IBM PC bandwagon yet.
