This may be sarcasm but this is all i'm seeing all over every thread and comment section about romances, straight guys want Suvi. Poor them. :lmfao:

Yeah Gil is annoying, he's the only character I dislike on the ship. He also constantly seems like he is overcompensating for something, but for what? Being gay?

but every trans person I have heard an opinion on it from thought it was a dumb conversation. But that's kinda my point. If they would actually sit down and adjust every dumb conversation in this game, they'd never be done. I guess but it's a "sensitive political issue" or whatever. Look what happened to Beamdog when they did more or less exactly the same thing.

with 97.5% of the MRA movement being convicted sex offenders, and 31.2% of those offences being against children, anyone who uses that damn frog is supporting rape and pedophilia and I will attack them for it, with the Red Pill wing of the Alt-Right/MRA movement believing rape is a myth, I will attack them, where ever and when ever I see the sick fucks. Troll or moron? It's so hard to tell these days. :lmfao:

It's a SciFi game playing 800 years in the future, where we run around alien planets in a different galaxy with railguns and a jetpack and have romances with other sentient species. And one single transgender character within this future society who is not afraid to tell you their former name is so unrealistic that it needs to be patched? Maybe to some people, this is kinda getting into what it means to be trans tho I personally didn't have much of an issue with it but every trans person I have heard an opinion on it from thought it was a dumb conversation. Though that's like only a few trans people.

Bioware shouldn't be focused on appeasing tumblrinas though. They should be appeasing the mighty MRAs and Alt-right, child rape for everyone! Maybe you all could just stop hating each other instead?

BTW, what's that about? Why single her out for adjustments? I know there was a bit of discussion about this character (who would have guessed?) but putting adjustments to a conversation with a minor NPC into the road map for the next couple of months seems strange nonetheless. Are they really that insecure about their stuff? IMO, there are way more important writing issues to fix than this. Many trans people are uncomfortable with their birth names but Hainly just openly tells it to you when you are like a complete stranger, so it could be that It's a bit unrealistic I guess.

This is great actually, they are addressing a lot of the complaints about the game at least. Makes me want to wait a few months before I continue playing tho. :lmfao: Bioware shouldn't be focused on appeasing tumblrinas though. Who should they appease then?

Also yeah I was never on the "Sarah is ugly" train, but the model does look a bit uncanny valley, like a photo taken from really close up or something. Which is pretty much an indication of a facial scan that has not been worked on enough. She also doesn't look enough like the model they used, which to me seems disrespectful to her when they just copy and pasted the male model for Male Ryder. Other humans in the game are more concerning to me, a lot of them look wide eyed with large faces and an eternal look of surprise, again like really close up photos maybe? So yeah I don't think it's unreasonable to believe this. As for the "representing real women" part, that was just speculation from one developer told from a second hand source. So it's hardly verified info but we know Bioware and EA has a lot of people working for them with these kinds of ideas. I am actually fine with representing "real" women and "real" men, as long as we remember that models are real to. Not everyone has to look perfect but not everyone needs to be hit with the ugly stick either.

What a weak video and research, especially on "representing women" part and facescans. None of this has anything to do with: - dead eyes effect, that's entirely a technical & artistic failure - eyesore MS Paint neon hair colors, those were selected, not scanned - overcooked makeup applied in post-scan process, facescans don't even have makeup lol - all Asari minus Peebee having the same face - awful Turian face colors But of course none of this matters in attempts to blame "political corectness" for everything, whether it makes any sense or not. Even if the actual sources did say all the video claims they did, taking it as a gospel is ridiculous on part of the video's author. We're talking developers interested in blaming everyone but themselves here. Critical thinking & filtering should be applied to dev quotes as well. Again, facescans and "EA political culture" did NOT select those particular neon hair colors or messed up eye reflections. Those are concious technical and artistic decisions. Outsourcing to external EA studios ain't an issue either, multiple EA franchises do it succesfully on a regular basis. "Supposed inside sources" I never claimed this was verified information. Simply interesting if true, also I imagine stuff like the eyes would be part of the work that needed to be done to make those face scans look better.

IDK if this has been posted here or not so I'll just post it now.
In short: Bioware used facial scan technology that would usually need additional work done to perfect the model, that work either wasn't done or was out sourced to other EA teams. The in house artists focused mostly on ships, armours, specific aliens ect but not human faces. Bioware/EA may have been reluctant to alter female scans because they wanted to make more realistic looking human characters and represent real women.

It amazes me that this complaint exists for this game, did they forget that in Origins you only have to be nice to Leliana for the game to think you are in a relationship with her. Then the Anders thing happened in DA2 and suddenly this stuff was a big issue and Bioware had to completely rework the romance system for DA:I and this game so it's really obvious when you are picking a flirt option and you have to pick several to lock you into the romance. Sure they are really pandering to the gays here tho and not the fragile sensibilities of straight guys.

I do think Bioware is clumsy in the way they choose to do LGBT+ representation but that isn't really a numbers issue or the fact that they do it at all, which seems to be what most people complaining about this are talking about. Even if the entire crew was gay that wouldn't be "unrealistic", unlikely sure but likely and realistic are not the same thing.

I agree with his friend more than him. 7/10 is what I would give it and I liked the Angarrans once I learned more about them from side content, also the Angarran leaders seemed stronger characters to me than the milky way leaders. It's kinda telling Joe says he wants the aliens to be more alien and then talks about how gross Jaal and Turians are naked, the more alien a character is the harder it is to make them relatable. Bioware could maybe have gone with a bit more alien than they did but I don't really agree that it's an issue.

The Asari are so boring in Andromeda, Cora is the most interesting one and she's human. that pretty much sums up the entire Asari for four games. The Trilogy had Samara and Aria but I guess they have always been kinda dull tbf, Liara was only interesting in ME2 which she was barely in. Andromeda just made them even more boring.

Vetra is pretty powerful and doesn't seem to die thanks to her shielding abilities, Drack is also great. Peebee is good at priming targets with pull once you uograde it.
Liam and Jaal seem the weakest to me but all are pretty good once their skills have been upgraded.

I don't think SJWs are the reason they are doing inclusion, they have been doing it for years. I think SJWs are the reason why some of the inclusion in the more recent bioware games feels more like tokenism. I think the pressure from those types makes Bioware devs feel like they have to fill quotas or they will get a backlash, then they do a bad job and get backlash anyway. I'm all for more inclusion and I think Bioware games are exactly the kinds of games where it works and doesn't have to feel forced because their games are all about characters but if Bioware doesn't want to do it properly then they shouldn't do it at all.
Anyway we all know there are people working for bioware who are fans of people like Anita Sarkeesian, a woman who needs thousands of dollars to make a few short videos a year complaining about how people sit in destiny and misrepresenting scenes from hitman. This is not who Bioware should be listening to, in my opinion.

The "you can't create a white character" claims being thrown around aren't true tho. There are two white presets, three if you count the one that looks sort of Hispanic. What you can't do is make someone who looks nordic or something, even as white as the defaults and that sucks, it sucks that there is a lack of variety in skin tones among many other issues there are with the cc. IDK why having more diverse presets is bad tho, Asian people have been kinda impossible to make in a lot of Bioware games and darker skin tones generally looked bad in all their games before they moved to frostbite.
But yeah despite this I wish Bioware would stop pandering to these SJWs who want them to admit crap like that they have "unconscious biases" and are "very privileged". Like if you want to represent minorities in your games then do so, you don't need to go to these cons and pander to these rich hipster kids who have appointed themselves the authority on all minority issues.

I am fine with open worlds, the Witcher 3 is a very enjoyable open world to me but that's because it isn't full of crap quests, shallow content or raiders. Every area should matter either to the main story or an extensive side plot, the areas should only be as big as there are interesting quests to fill them and quests where you have to drive all over the map aren't what I mean. It's fun to explore and be rewarded with an interesting quests and maybe some cool items, what isn't fun is exploring and finding nothing but fetch quests and respawning enemies. So many quests in Inquisition had you find a note, that would lead you to another note at some other point on the map with a demon fight or something. It was so very dull, these quests should be rare if they exist at all. If you have an area with nothing but this crap, delete it. The plot should not be sacrificed for the world either, the Witcher three had a very lengthy main story and many decent side stories. This made travelling round the different regions enjoyable. Now I don' expect nearly as much content as is in TW3, I dunno if I'll ever complete all the quests that are in that game. Nor does the world need to be that big, but if we are doing open world games this is how they need to be in my opinion, like TW3.

It annoys me so much that Bioware doesn't seem to understand what made their older games so good and they haven't for a while, this didn't all start with DA:I.
Facial animations and ugly characters may be a meme but dragon age origins looked like shit compared to other stuff around at the time, it had some terrible animations too but it is still an amazing game. Bioware is all style over substance these days and then they don't even get that right.

I imagine so, when you download the trial it just downloads the game but doesn't allow you past a certain point. So I assume any patch the game gets would be in the trial to.
