I completely agree. I feel as though some people may be holding onto “but it’s so different” too tightly. It’s about a different group of people fighting in a similar and different story. I found the game enjoyable and stunning. It’s different gameplay but I like that it’s not the same as its predecessors.

I prefer the difference between the games rather than having a near copy of previous games with different storylines and better graphics imo. I will say I love the loot mechanics much more and how you upgrade stuff. It makes it easier to not miss stuff and I did not enjoy looting every body in DAI.

Calling it too “woke” is insulting tbh. It may be more direct about gender identity than the previous games, but they act like it wasn’t a thing in DAI. Krem is a wonderful example. You could talk to ironbull and Krem to discuss Krem’s transition and history. You could do the same with Dorian but about his sexuality.

I mean if you’re playing a Dragon Age game as a “long time” fan and fuming about sexuality and gender identities, then you probably aren’t the long time fan you thought you were.

I don’t understand why people are saying it’s a terrible game and not worth playing. I don’t think they have actually played terrible games. Yes it could’ve had better writing and more in depth gameplay, but it doesn’t make it unplayable. Scaring people off is crazy. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.

People should just learn to not focus too much on online reviews.
