The Dragon Age and Mass Effect series have probably had the best portrayal of LGBTQ+, women and minorities in general of any video game series. I found the way Veilguard handled being trans for example, absolutely incredible and powerful. They clearly put a lot of thought and care and clearly had diverse pool of devs who consulted with the right people. future BioWare games will probably backslide massively on queer themes and LGBTQ+ inclusion and other ‘woke’ things?
Imagine if you can only be a straight white cis man only romance straight cis women in the next dragon age game, with no queer people in sight. It wouldn’t even feel like dragon age anymore!
DA5: You can play an orlesian noble or a tevinter magister (both are human men. the skin tones range from “fresh snow” to “beige”). your morality choices are whether you call elves and/or qunari slurs to their faces or not. You can advocate for tevinter style slavery in orlais and if youre orlesian, you can set up your soapbox on the ashes of the alienage for added effect.
