These designs makes no sense. It's the same **** as Concord. These ****** think anybody can create a design, you just have to assemble a bunch of clothes together and that's it. Not knowing this is a real job that requires knowledge and experience.

  • Flashy but very ineffective spells,
  • 3 abilities only, in NwN1, I could have F1~F12 full of abilities + CTRL F1~F12 + Shift F1~F12
  • Melee combat has no impact
  • Enemeis are bullet sponges
  • No blood magic
  • Spells scale with your weapon which is nonsensical. Every Bioware fantasy RPG before DA2 didn't had it
  • In place of blood magic, the WORST necromancy ever, with no OHK spells like BG1/2 finger of death nor animate dead style spells.
  • Character creation. The game has the mindset that "straight sexuality" is heresy and everything "*****" is "progress". You can't make busty woman for eg.
  • Awful writing full of cringe compilations
  • Awful Fallout 4 style dialog wheel
  • Zero reactivity
  • Companions are boring
  • You can't do ""evil things"". In Origins, I could offer a child possessed by a demon in a deal with a demon in exchange of blood magic. In this game, I can't do anything bad.
  • The tone is too Disney.
    (...)
Good job bioware, you did it. You brought everything that sucks in modern games into a single product.

Based on how the day it is going, I don't think they will get far past their previous peak of 77k, much less getting anywhere near 100k. It looks like the increases are just normal increases and stays relative to the other games player counts.

I think after the weekend, you are likely to see player counts drop off steadily. More time out is bad for this game because they can't keep suppressing negative responses indefinitely. Eventually the dam will break and the **** storm will flood out.

I love how people in places like the kotakuinaction reditt will say they have a problem with woke, but say that having la shitlib race diversity in a medieval fantasy world isn't woke at all.

If you insist on race diversity keep in in mass effect. Makes sense there.

Well, you know what they say about evil, right? It's like a dog trying to play the piano - it just doesn't work. Evil is all about destruction and ugliness, and any attempt to imitate beauty or goodness will always fall flat. People can see right through the deception.

Nothing new though, standard tactic. You see it all the time with these so called "conservatives" who act like they are a part of the group, but then mostly advocate for the leftist narratives.

"Hello fellow anti-wokers, I completely agree, I hate woke... but have no problems <insert leftist narratives> as long as the player has a choice!".

Diablo 2 paladin is black, but in act 1 he is an outlander so it's fine.

I don't know much about Diablo 2 lore, but the idea of a black paladin seems rather... extreme DEI to me and ********.

Game was made In the 90s so wouldn't be dei. I think the devs thought it would just look cool at the time.

The paladin wasn't black like in the remake, he was brown. Closer to a north african or Arab.

Not from the 90's eh? Hate to break it to ya, but DEI replacement was happening back then as well and well before it, it just wasn't called "DEI".

Everything has been a "frog in water" type of approach. In the past, most of the changes to push this crap were subtle, or rode off some major movement at the time (ie 80's strong single mom, 70's black chief/captain, etc...).

Right now they aren't even bothering with subtlety, they are full on just doing mass blatant revision/replacement, and forcing it outright.

Amazon was actually the only character they slightly redesigned after the initial backlash. Still ugly though

Yeah, pretty blatant there. The coloring in the first looks just like an artistic representation, but still a white guy. The other looks like they wanted to make a joke of the paladin "crusader" type by popping in a Arabic looking Muslim looking type as an insult to the concept.

Indie games are good but you can't match aaa polish. Also japs don't have large minority groups and allies wanting stuff.

The Original dragon age 4 might have been good, now we got ****** simulator 4


This trailer is from 2020, SAME AS BG3 before it got Transremade.

I mean i might be wrong on this take.
