It's tough to express how much of a bummer this whole mess has been. Veilguard is such an embarrassingly lazy, shallow experience.

Placing all of the blame on Busche isn't fair, as she was brought in at the end of the development process, but it was her leadership that prevented the game from getting the extra time it needed.

The creative and design aspects of the game's failure falls primarily on John Epler's lap.

BioWare was so special for such a long time. Watching them fumble the ball directly into the deepest part of the toilet three times in a row feels completely insane.

Fuck EA forever, man.

teenager who acts like a dick all the time would be equally annoying.

Was Morrigan popular when da:o was new? She's an extremely edgy teenager.

This topic would be great for a dontnod game that could appropriatly handle that topic - not an RPG.

I really don't think queer stuff needs to be banished from the realm of RPGs.

Morrigan has a great character arc where she really opens up, gives witty responses to many things especially if you have alistair in the party and just becomes very likeable later on.

Never said that it should be. Nobody cares if there are trans people or other queer stuff in games. That kind of stuff already exists and the only people that are mad about it are some rightoids. But I feel like bioware wanted to make a game where one of the "main focusses" lies on trans people issues but just chose the wrong platform for it.
