No really, like what game is just trying so hard to be the most up to date, inclusive, socially and politically sensitive game in existence. Answers that would have been true at the time are good to.

There's always been games trying to force socialisation on gamers :p bioware rpgs often had discriminated against characters for example.

But I am not interested in any old game that's trying its corporate approved best. I want to see the extremes of itchio or whatever.

EDIT: I'm serious, I want like the game that would exist of you wrung all the discourse out of tumblr and put it in a game. Not "a few good takes" something that takes every opportunity to make some point about how it is good media with good politics and values. The sort of game that the frothing-mouthed gamers on twitter think the industry is always one boycott away from producing. Someone, somewhere, must have made something so earnest it deserves recognition.

I didn't play any of the older dragon age games so I can't speak for how true the criticisms of it not comparing are, but I can say I assume a lot of the criticisms were just tacked on to give volume to the people crying it was woke

Veilguard sucked compared to most (every, in my opinion but I am the only person who liked the second one) of the dragon age games but not cause the reasons people claimed at the time. It wasn't terrible just really mid. They complained about all the previous ones too, so that was always kinda weird

    there's a bunch of nerds who like DA2 for how it was designed around its constraints, and i appreciate parts of it, but i can't forgive the compromised gameplay and i hate mood wheels

    fuck ea i hope the saudis dissolve it and sell off the gay IPs
