      Since when has Dragon Age not been “woke”?

      • Dragon Age has always been woke, but it also used to be well-written and representation was done tastefully, not to tick off some corporate checkboxes. If you managed to get past one episode of Dragon Age Absolution then you'll see what I mean.
        I wrote a lengthier comment in this post, but this game honestly had the potential to be a 10/10 if they didn't fire all the talented writers or change the art direction to suit 'modern audiences'. I'm at 40 hours in, would still give it a 7.5/10 similar to how I rate Mass Effect Andromeda.

    • How is it woke?

    • -3

      3/10 maybe ,and 10 bucks is ok

    • Yeah, will play when this hit the subscriptions.

      Definitely won't waste my money on this.

    go woke go broke.

    • +4

      For a series that has always been “woke”, as you call it, it certainly hasn’t gone broke having sold millions to the point where this fourth instalment has been developed. Try again.

      • For a series that has always been “woke”

        What's your idea of "woke", can you also tell us how the prior games were woke?

        • +5

          What’s your idea of woke? I assume it’s something to do with trans/non-binary/bi/homosexual representation? Which has always been in the original games through several characters, and where same sex romance options have always been available to the player character:

          Dragon Age Origins - Shale, Zevran

          Dragon Age 2 - Fenris, Anders, Merrill

          Dragon Age Inquisition - Krem, Dorian

          I’m sure I’ve missed tons more too.

          So I’m just pointing out that this idea that wokeness has somehow diminished the games and caused them to fail is very incorrect.

          I suspect people calling it woke have never touched a DA game, or have been oblivious to the examples above.

            @willooi: So literally having non-straight characters is your idea of "woke"?

            • +5

              @Butt Scratcher: What’s your idea then?

              • @willooi: "Woke" refers to people who are aware of social issues and are doing something about it (hence "woke" as in woken and aware). Basically activists in these social issues relating to minorities i.e. racial, disabled, LGBT etc.

                In the context of games, a game is woke when they feel like a woke activist mouthpiece. Did the older DA games feel that way?

                The existence of gay characters do not make it woke, just like how not every gay person is a woke activist.

      • Well be fair, write a shitty one dimensional characters with alternate agenda that's not about writing good characters and good story, go broke doesn't sound as catchy.

        I do think Dorian was the highlight of DA:I, I will also mention the Iron Bull in the list of characters you mentioned.

    I've enjoyed what i've played so far. Just a fun action RPG.

      EA should have created a new fantasy IP, not tarnish the Dragon Age name. I'm hanging out for a Dragon Age: Origins remaster.

    trash game, woulnt play if i got paid $ 69.

    Good price, good deal, the quality of the game shouldn't impact the quality of the deal

  • +3

    So sad. Origins had so much potential, was such a good game then it just turned to shit

    • -1

      and we have people who never played Origins saying this is somehow a good Dragon Age game

      sigh

      • Not sure if the ones negging this deal have actually played it more than an hour or are just bandwagoning off of Asmongold and MattyPlays' videos.
        I've played every DA game, including this one where I'm currently 40 hours in and enjoying it thoroughly. Is it a good Dragon Age game? No. Is it a good action-RPG? Yes.
        People are just negging this deal because of the anti-woke brigading and this currently being at the center of a culture war in gaming.

        A Dragon Age fan would give this a 6/10, but for a gamer not devoted to the series this could easily be a 7.5 or an 8/10. I'm erring towards a 7.5/10 because I'm suspending my disbelief in this being a Dragon Age game. The progression system and combat is very deep and rewarding, and the game runs smooth as butter with awesome visuals despite what you make of the new art direction. The score from Hans Zimmer is also top notch and the main scenario is off-the-rails crazy after Act 1. Besides the overt political messaging in some instances the only other major flaws IMO that would prevent it from being a 9 or 10 are the quippy, grating dialogue writing that belong more in a HR training video than a grimdark fantasy setting that we loved this series for. And that alone is probably more than enough to be a dealbreaker for many.

        I might add that the controversial scenes with the non-binary Qunari companion Taash do diminish from the game's overall quality, but they're mostly skippable side-quests. I wish we could've kicked out or refused that character entry into our party like in the older Dragon Age games. The fact Taash is written like an irritating juvenile if anything detracts from the agenda that they're trying to present around non-binary representation.

    I have been enjoying this game.
    I never played the origins but loved DA inquisition and a fan of Bioware. My favorite game is ME 2.

    The tone and overall gameplay has changed a lot from the previous one. Even so, the graphics, music and combat system are great.

    My game of the year so far.

  • +3

    Good price. It definitely gets better the further you get

  • It's fun, doesn't reach the highs of the series and it sucks they dropped the ongoing choices from previous games. But if you want to finish the story from Inquisition it's worth playing. I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't played or didn't finish Inquisition.

    lol, what the heck.

    At this rate, it will go to subscription soon (Gamepass/PS Plus).

    • +3

      Its price has been going down just the same as Metaphor, it’s called a sale.

  • Price is $59 now
