Has this garbage been taken out yet? During the first week or so I saw lots of threads on 4 chan, propped up by shills. Now there is just nothing like it is a dead game and the marketing department contract expired and from just what I googled Bioware is bragging about selling a paltry million copies.

Check the Steam achievements. Compare the first achievement with the last. The first should tell you the number of people who bothered to boot the game just once (close to 90k in total) and the second should tell you the number of people who played it to completion. Normal games have an average of like 60 to 80% for the first and like 10% tops for the second.

What do you mean? Traash's tranny journey is the same as this! Nothing's changed at all, you bigot tourist!
Character conflicts are the beating pulse of any story -- one of the first principles beginner writers learn.

Amateur writers often avoid conflicts because it makes them uncomfortable. Looking at the milquetoast interactions in Veilguard, it's hard to believe it's written by professionals.

You wonder what "Trick" Weekes was getting paid to do, besides creative use of pronouns.
If you write characters you have to let them be themselves and if you write strong characters that start to live and breathe that even changes your design for the plot as you work through it as it is unthinkable for such a character to behave in the way you desire, unless you nix the characters and force them into your plot and destroy their character. That is when you make the whole project retarded. Bioware have not just done this with characters but factions and the lore. I mean they turned Quinaris from noble Muslims you don't understand who would willingly die if they thought they commited a crime, even though they couldn't remember it, into a faction that tolerates trannies whining about gender identity. The whole thing would have made more sense in the original lore if the Tranny Quinari was bitchslapped by it's father and then honor killed, or you could stop it if you wanted to meddle in their culture.

I mean the whole lore for Quinari was pretty superficial, but that would have been a pretty WOW c&c moment. Instead though all characters have to be California progressive as do all cultures in these games, even bad guys in your party can't be transphobic or racist or sexist anymore, in case you side with them, but they can change their evil ways after being a mass murderer and be redeemed.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is That Friend That’s Too Woke​

The Veilguard, though, is woke in a bad way, because it’s so terrified of being offensive that it erases everything interesting about Dragon Age.
It’s this nuance that separates being socially conscious from being entirely self-serious, and it’s that self-seriousness that permeates through The Veilguard and makes it entirely flavourless.
The game’s Dalish characters, who are traditionally suspicious of outsiders, seem completely unbothered by their new roles in staving off the end of the world at the hands of their own gods. And nobody seems to hate elves anymore – where before I’d get called “knife-ears” by random people, barely anyone acknowledges my Rook’s race at all.
That racism was interesting. Why was it removed?
The wokesters yearn for fantasy racism.

Veilguard is too woke even for the Troon Gamer. The game flopped so hard wokes themselves turned on it.

So they're upset because there ISN'T racism against their elf characters?
Hot damn!

If Skyrim was released today, you would be utterly shamed for even thinking of siding with the Nords and there would be no civil war at all.

Skyrim for everyone, bigot.

It's the opposite. If it was released today you would've been forced to join the nords and prance around with danger hair women squads fighting evil oppressors. Besides Ulfric is a cuck and thalmor asset\puppet from what i remember. Safe for one playthrough where i played as a bearded nord, and a couple of empire runs i ignore the war. Let the wannabe game of thrones retards sort it out while i loot the dungeons and bang my appointed housecarl chick :D

Generally the wokes and leftists hate even fictional/fantasy racism. So it's quite novel that they started to miss anti-elven racism.

He is indirectly used by the Thalmor.
You find a document that specifies this during the Thalmor Embassy infiltration quest.
Basically they WANT the civil war to be in full swing in order for the Empire to be further weakened so they can strike again...

The entire Whiterun probably visited her before.

Entire whiterun is 5 old cripples and a bunch of unconscious jorrvaskr drunks.
Haelga in Riften.
:shredder:
I imagine there are plenty mods which, um, expand upon Haelga and her "activities"...

Haer'Dalis was a tiefling, meaning he was evil masquerading as neutral.

:martini:
The Planescape campaign setting box set from 1994 notes that "Tieflings can be of any alignment save lawful good.", although the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix I released that same year limits tieflings to non-good alignments. :M

I'm not surprised the lefties want theor anti elf racism back. Think about it. An elf warden in DAO was a godsend to them. The fact they can rub it in the racists' faces. Lol

Guess they realized it's hard to complain about things when they have no "victims" to align themselves with, so they're only left with the option of complaining about a lack of things to complain about.

When you disbelieve objective truth and think the world is only made of narratives, even fantasy tales becomes competing points of view that threaten your own.

The natural inclination to disperse truth degenerates into a compulsion to replace all stories with your personal fiction.
