Dayum, I didn't notice the "Endorsement" tab until now and what gets me the most are the Reddit and Tumblr massive wall-of-text posts.

Like, the journo websites at the very least get some profit from purposely triggering others, but you get no revenue whatsoever from Reddit upvotes nor Tumblr views, yet those freaks still went ahead and gave lots of visibility to this great mod. lol

See when No Alphabets started it was just 10 or 20 people maybe chipping in and giving feedback? The moment this redditard went writing an essay it blew up so massively... now people just have to type something related to removing woke in bg3 and all the seething will lead them straight here.

Did IGN et al. actually check in recently? All they were complaining about was de-gaying Aylin. They might find another 1-2 "problematic" issues now.

And all that bs about "Players revolt" against the mod, I assume they are talking about themselves and a couple reddit mods?!

IGN et al didn't even do basic research. They just wrote an article based on that reddit post... they're too incompetent to do follow ups.

I'd like an option to romance Isobel, completely remove Aylin from the game, pregnancy paths for all female companions, remove all tieflings and dragonborn, all non-european humanoids except for those clearly from their native regions, make Baldurs Gate a medieval european fantasy setting, not a globalist one, remove the tadpole plot line entirely, remove the Emperor entirely, make Ketheric a persistent antagonist, maybe from start to finish, remove Orin entirely, make Viconia hot and recruitable, make Sarevok a persistent antagonist throughout the entire act 3, in general focus the narrative down to there being big evil dudes you have to kill because they are evil (or because you want their power for yourself). Make it as traditional and heroic as possible, thank you.

Would you care for a gold statue of your likeness milord? Mayhaps thou fancy a virgin bride of fine stock? Did thou hadst thine milk bath yet or shall I prepare it for thee sir?

Again, not sure where to post this, here in the comment section, bug report page or at Wylls of Toril. My question is... what the ****'s with that Steven Universe dialogue options for Tav when you talk to Wyll? It's like your your character suddenly transforms into endearing **** in a glittery pink dress, no matter who you play as - Durge, Tav, origins characters, tree hugging druid, lawful good paladin or chaotic evil edgelord Orphanslayer Widowmaker. Even "neutral" sounding options make me vomit rainbows when I read them. (I should've screened the entire dialogue tree, except I already deleted earlier saves and only got the log version of what I chose, but I believe everyone understand what I mean when I say all Tav's responses to Wyll sound cringe.)







Edit: additionally, this option for Tav when meeting Gandrel. "Racist" isn't a term for medieval fantasy. Besides, who gives a ****?

Do you have a save I can use to test the wyll convo? My lack of interest in Wyll led me to not create saves for when he speaks. (I have the Astarion save)

The original DA games had alphabets, but they weren't in your face so you could easily ignore them. Or they were done respectfully (Dorian). Now every game has to cheaply promote this agenda and it's sickening. Needless to say I'll be killing that gender-confused Qunari straight off just so I don't have to look at HIM.

The only Dragon Age for me is Origins and its DLCs. I just can't enjoyed a game with a dialogue wheel and faux hack and slash mechanics.

If someone wants to detroon those games I'll be happy to give pointers like how to do AI voices etc.

How would you even do that?

Look, Wyll as the token black was... I don't want to say fine but if they hadn't been so transparently desperate to make him a paragon of morality amongst the much more well rounded rest of the party then he could've worked. Everyone else (yes, even the bear pervert) was more or less well written and characterized despite the rushjob and ignoring the pandering and troonery.

My point being that in BG3 there is a great game buried beneath the diverity vomit and ***** infection.

But Dragon Age: Deadname? The game is 99% rot. You can't fix that without basically writing an entirely new game. Imagine doing Ser Aylin again, but instead of one large project for one relatively important character you have to do it for every character in the party.

There is no fixing this. I loved DA and I'm one of those weirdos who liked DA:I and even thought DA2 had good moments underneath the shameless asset reuse they called a game.

I just hope Mass Effect: Whatever will survive this. If they ruin that franchise as well then Bioware won't escape EA's cost cutters. They're already on thin ice after Anthem's only beloved mechanic was an EA executive idea.

I was reading the calling and the book mentions Duncan being from Rivain, it mentions how some of the weird looks he was getting in Ferelden could be from his swarthy skin, they recognized that it was uncommon enough to draw attention yet in inquisition you see people from every kingdom with no comment or reservation from other characters about them and don't even mention the qun being progressive when it is a society that has no care for free will and treats people as tools to be used in the most efficient way but if you want to identify yourself as another gender it is fine.

I agree. Duncan is fine because the Wardens are explicitely sourced from every **** country in Thedas but some of the diversity is just obvious ********.

The Qun was also what took me out of it in DA:I. Forget Krem and her cringeworthy ****** talk, in the first Dragon Age Sten (a qunari) gets confused if you're playing a female player character. Because women in qun society aren't warriors period. And since you can fight extremely well he jumped to the conclusion that fem!PC couldn't be a woman.

You'd think the ****** stuff would come up there but nope. Because it didn't exist before DA:I hamfisted it into the lore.
