@kalaelizabeth "We were going to replicate the human experience and you were going to live a second life in the game" a reveal of pre-dev ideas mean fucking nothing
@KungFuMan316 Damn, thats actually a cool design, now if the writing was the same as we got it wouldn't have saved the game but it would have been better.
I agree completely with this.
For example, Cyberpunk, BG3 & the Mass Effect trilogy handled representation so much better. The examples are more natural, more mature & better written.
Wokeslop/queerslop ruins games.
We can have representation without hamfisting it.
"It was going to be the best Mass Effect yet. A return to form. A love letter to the fans. The most ambitious RPG we'd ever made. A game that would redefine the genre, push boundaries, and bring the franchise back to its glory days. We had so many exciting ideas. The potential was limitless. We were really cooking. It would've changed gaming forever."
MOTHERFUCKER, YOU HAD A FUCKING PITCH DECK.
@spiderkie94 Agreed its multiple things but its clear the culture at bioware had a bias towards the left and has influenced their writing and quality for years. And here we are now
The only larper's in the case of the #Bioware discussion are the ones pretending bioware today was anything close to bioware pre-2016. Also pretending dragon age origins, ME trilogy are just as woke as veilguard is laughable
@stacycay@megievalist There's a difference between a budget constraints and clear choice to constrain player choice. "We just didnt have the money to let you be evil" is such bullshit and you know it
@megievalist Your arguments are solid but the problem is, these people see no difference between dragon age origins and dragon age veilguard, they think both were exactly the same. I'll agree that bioware always built games with diversity... it also had player freedom.
MASS EFFECT 5 WOULD BLOWN YOUR MIND, DICK, AND WHATEVER FUCKED UP ELDRICH HORROR YOU HAVE DOWN THERE. WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THE MOST CHOICE DRIVEN GAME EVER. BELIEVE US, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING
I mean, isn't that the same thing they said about every game they made? #bio
