Willing to bet a lot of this is plain old Bioware review bombing.
Anyway who cares? Only review that matters is yours. I'll probably pick up Anthem in a month or two.

I think "show don't tell" is often bad advice. Much of the plot of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was told through books and letters and it ended up as one of the most thought-provoking and memorable stories in an RPG. God forbid anyone read. Anyway, I'd go for a middle ground. We don't have to see everything personally, but perhaps adding more ambient dialogue would accomplish a lot of this. The only problem is to make people actually listen or pay attention.

Just a random idea hre, but they don't need to be always advancing the timeline either, how about playing as a pirate during the years that DA2 is set, that's a long period of time, or a traveling mercenary, something cool could have happened in Rivain in 9:37, why not see that?
The possibilities are endless, it doesn't always need to be 'big bad about to obliterate the world chapter 4536743642+1'
Just my opinion.
If they can come up with something cool that happened that wouldn't also be something that should have been known about outside that area or by characters we met already in a previous game who should have known but for some reason didn't, then yeah, all for it. *parsing* *parsing* *parsing* Agreed.

Wasn't looking for it as much as it being a standard way to subtly reveal homosexual inclinations in literally all media ever by offhandedly including it in one scene (or in this case one panel). I suppose it takes someone who has been exposed to it enough, as I picked it up right away, especially with that cheeky grin that Calix had in the very same panel. But I'm not hinging on it. It could very well been an "act" (they are rogues after all). So yea... another Zevran. When we wrote that panel, our thought was that the night in question was about hooking the guard up with fun - buying him drinks/getting him drunk, and maybe even getting him laid. But not being the one to have sex with the guard. Now, since we didn't specify, I suppose we could revisit it one say and say it meant something else. But that's our current thinking. Sorry for the unintended implication of bisexuality. Appreciate the confirmation. Loved the comic!

Oh right Mae. We're doomed. Can't wait for the "trap" jokes. I think '' trap jokes '' are the LEAST of the worries when it comes to transgender female characters. It's not about that. The joke will just spiral out of control and eventually we'll probably see some serious articles on various sites pondering whether BioWare took it a step too far by baiting male players with a transgender character who only revealed themselves later. Alternatively, they would just have Mae mention or imply it outright early on, which would probably later spiral out of control with various articles pondering whether BioWare is shoving it down people's throats.

It probably will because BioWare will inevitably have something that offends the delicate sensibilities of anti-SJW whiny QQ'ers Can't wait to see what the scandal will be this time. Well, if Mae is a romance option or even a mandatory character I guarantee that will be on. Maybe having an Ace Spectrum romance as well judging from the complaints about characters without sex scenes in the past. Oh right Mae. We're doomed. Can't wait for the "trap" jokes, especially since she's outwardly pretty femme.

I am personally trying to walk a little more safely on the line, because the DA franchise could very easily go the route of ME at this point, and I don't want that, I want to see a proper conclusion to the story! It probably will because BioWare will inevitably have something that offends the delicate sensibilities of anti-SJW whiny QQ'ers Can't wait to see what the scandal will be this time.

I want sexed up female romances, if only to lure the thirsty internet QQers into liking the game rather than whine about SJW shit in yet another BioWare game. There is no need to go ahead and be insulting towards a certain group of people with a specific sexuality. Afterall, isn't the reason we are currently seeing the exact opposite because another group started "QQing" in the past? ...Pretty sure it also includes bisexual people, and even the occasional gay person who takes up the flag. But since you went there, your second statement just falls into false equivocation. Other groups that "QQ'd" in the past were complaining due to lack of representation, as opposed to people who currently whine about how bangable that representation is, then start blaming the existence of the "other" representation for how repressed they are. Again, I'm not trying to be bitter. I want there to be standard fare hot sexy ladies for people to romance. It's not like they are any less justified in existing. Might as well just cut the head of the snake though.

*reads the conversation in the last page or so*
I mean...here we are 10 or so supersoldiers surviving deadly encounter after another and yet people start feeling the need to impose realistic proportions of representation when it comes to sexual orientation?
Goes to show how arbitrary this all is :rofl:
Anyway, I'd prefer if there are at least two options for M/F, F/M, M/M, and F/F (bisexual or not ... just no Zevran redux please...) and at least one of each to be a human.
After that, I don't really care and I doubt most would too.
Frankly I'm more concerned about the depth of those romances as opposed to how many there are.

If the situation merits the thought of it for a presumably weak willed person (at the moment) then I dont see why a suicide cant be included if it "makes sense" within the context
The protagonist being an unhelpful douchebag can be a possible "incentive" but it cant be the only reason.

Ironically, as a gay man, Cassandra was my favorite DAI romance option. Probably has more to do with the fact that I'm drawn to strong women with a soft side as opposed to seeking attraction haha Even though she is straight, she reminds me of my lesbian friends. She's too much like "one of the guys". I feel you. Cassandra does remind me of my lesbian best friend haha

A good straight male romance isn't too much to ask for. Cassandra wasn't all that in DAI I'm afraid. DAI had good lesbian, gay and female romances but sorely lacking with males. Ironically, as a gay man, Cassandra was my favorite DAI romance option. Probably has more to do with the fact that I'm drawn to strong women with a soft side as opposed to seeking attraction haha

I dunno I feel the way they are introducing Aaron, Vaea, and Calix is a little on the nose.
Even Francesca has potential.
But I'll share your optimism.

I LOVED the "casting' of Mass Effect Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition so I'm gonna say a melding of both for casters would be perfect.
For melee, I'm indifferent. Dragon Age Inquisition was fine, although I hope they fix the line of sight issues that frequently led to weird behavior by ranged characters.

A Tevinter character with a background depending on their race and class would probably be perfect.
Just combine the DAO, DA2, and DAI systems really. DAO for the breadth, DA2 for the depth, and DAI for the involvement.

Well assuming the comics are setting up for Dragon Age 4, the (male) KISA role is already filled by Aaron so we're out of luck once again. Curses! Alistair/Cullen/Blackwall'ed again!
