my brother in Christ, none of it would've mattered if the game was good.

I am as much of a chud as you are, and I had romanced every gay character in the previous games because the games were good, the characters were good, and I wanted to explore every bit of them. I would have done the same in BG3 if I still had the time to replay 50 hour games every few years.

even without the current year bits, the "D" in DA4 is for "Disney".

I think the core issue is bad writing. All of that other stuff is only a problem because it's written with the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face. In many cases the writing reduces characters to their identity group instead of being believable humans with believable motivations.

Bioware's downslide predates the "woke" narrative -- i don't remember Anthem being particularly woke, but it certainly wasn't the sort of game they should have been making.

It's almost as if your little far-right bubble doesn't represent the entire industry.
