Sounds like Joshua took a hit to the head at some point if this game is 10/10 for him. The game is absolutely terrible. They literally made some sort of Fortnitified RPG and slapped the DA logo on it. It has none of the soul or feeling of the previous titles, it's full of corporate pandering, the dialogue is the most bland, cheesy, stupid nonsense I've ever heard, the level design is so milquetoast it puts DA2 to shame, you have basically no consequential choices regarding your MC's interaction with party members, you're forced to accept all party members or get a "bad" ending, returning characters are nothing like what they were, and worst of all the past decisions you've made in previous DA entries were just tossed aside and what replaced them was utterly stupid.

People complain it received too much hate, I don't think it received enough. It's the equivalent of ordering your favorite ice cream flavor at your favorite location, but it's been taken over by new management and the varieties are now all poop-flavored.

Gnome It's his personal identification with the game. Not everyone has the same experience playing as a character. How do you not understand that? Gender does matter to plenty of people when they role play a character.

Cererra Shaming someone by forcing them to do pushups for accidentally misgendering someone is also not a very good thing to do. We can at least agree on that, right?

I mean, plenty of people here know what the award was about, they just disagree. There's much better games out there that have better instances of inclusivity than this game.
