Dragon Age 4: Rise of the Woke Wolf???

I won’t lie, i genuinely loved Dragon Age Inquisition. The gameplay was fun and some of the characters like Cassandra and even Sera interested me. I even liked the new open world exploration.

But i won’t deny that the series did feel like it was pandering to SJWs. Specifically with that trans character. I’m alittle worried about Dragon Age 4, especially now that companies are in overdrive to push forced diversity in entertainment. But i’ll wait till i see official gameplay before i lose all hope.

I meant Iron Bull’s companion Krem. It was hinted that it was a trans male but then he straight up tells you.

Generally as long as a character is created/introduced with a certain orientation, I fine with whatever that orientation might be, as the story progresses.

It is only when an established character that by all indications is one orientation, is later in a subsequent sequel “outed” with a completely different orientation, that I’m bothered by it. At that point, the SJW interference seems obvious and objectionable.

For example, if the DA4 devs make Varric “bi”, when up to this point his heart has belonged unequivocally to Bianca, I’m going to be disgusted and sad. On the other hand, if any new NPC is designated “bi”, I don’t care.

I really don’t think the devs will distort the lore so badly. Hope they don’t.

I think somebody from Bioware already said that its going to be political. So there is that. There is still time for them to change it I think, but I would not hold my breath. I think the real issue is how they are going to present it. If they show both sides of the argument or tell within their world like SW prequels did then it would be fine, but we know its usually one-sided.

Bioware has been getting more and more woke since Mass Effect 3.
Some examples:
1.In ME2, you get renegade points for stuff like kicking people out of windows and shooting them.
In Me3, you get renegade points for telling a dude you don’t wanna talk about his sex life while in the middle of a galatic war.
2. When the Asari homeworld gets destroyed, Joker makes a dark joke about.  Your options for a reply are, “Scold him” or “Scold him, heavily”
3. Kaiden, who is heterosexual in the first game, is retconned into being bisexual for whatever reason.

Mass Effect 3 is still a good game  (not great) but the warning signs were there.

Honestly, Bioware’s last great game was Mass Effect 2. That was 10 years ago. They are with Bethesda in my “I don’t care anymore” list.

The Outer Worlds proved we don’t need Bethesda.
Greedfall, proves we don’t need Bioware.
There’s a game called the Waylanders that’s in early access that is, literally, Dragon Age: Origins with different characters and setting.
Here’s a video I found about it if you’re interested.

ME3 didn’t jump out to me at the time but, in retrospect, it was a sign of what was to come.
Personally, I would recommend dropping brand loyalty to a series that had 1 good title 11 years ago and a company that has been, steadily, decreasing in quality for 10 years.
Wokeness aside, between the dumbing down and removing of game mechanics, the terrible stories, absurd monetization (Lootboxes were in ME3 before they were in Overwatch) and the fact very little of the original team is still there, there is no reason to support that company.
Especially, when there’s alternatives popping up left and right.
That’s just my perspective, of course, not trying to insult you for being interested in it.

I 100% guarantee it will be woke as fuck, though.
