Dragon Age: The Veilguard - What happened?
I have to tell, it's refreshing to see more people finally understanding why so many people are pushing assist against woke amusement, and why the gaslighting against the people complaining is so utterly dishonest. This is what people mean when they see a pattern in latest AAA titles (especially), and for most gamers, it's really souring the trial to see these major studios acting in lockstep, allowing activists to inject damaging political agendas in their products.
Art is the perfect medium to express one's views, but not by hijacking existing franchises, where the outcome is almost guaranteed to ruffle more feathers than not. "Well isn't that the point, to gain attention?" Maybe, yes, but at a huge price -- and one that often isn't worth the trouble.
Many would dial this a conspiracy theory, but it loses the "theory" part when nearly every studio is doing this simultaneously. This comes as a result of government subsidized ESG/DEI funding and grants to incentivize the creation of propaganda using long-established show IPs to capture a wide audience, and then aim to educate as many people
Dragon Age: The Veilguard's romanceable companions won't just hang around around for you to woo them—also, they're all canonically pansexual
In RPGs, there are a couple of ways that developers contain handled romances—and, specifically, sexuality within those romances. The first route is to have specific orientations for each character. For example, Zevran in Dragon: Age Origins is bisexual, whereas Alistair is straight.
The second route is to craft companion characters "playersexual" ala Baldur's Gate 3—they contain canon sexualities sometimes (Astarion and Karlach are canonically attracted to, at least, men and women) but they're never specifically arrange in stone, and will adjust to the player's interest regardless of their gender.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard has apparently seen these two routes and decided to go with a third option, which is to make the entire cast and crew pansexual, according to a recent interview with game director Corinne Busche via IGN.

Dragon Age Has Always Been Lgbtq+ As Hell
It’s nearly impossible to talk about Dragon Age: The Veilguardon certain sectors of social media without being overrun by people who contain a vested interest in seeing the game fail. There are plenty of criticisms to levy at the fourth entry to BioWare’s fantasy RPG series, such as its lack of decision continuity from previous games and Whedon-esque quips sprinkled through its dialogue. And if you’re a CRPG diehard, you’re probably not too thrilled by it pivoting hard into an action RPG. But most of the time, these criticisms are buried under (or wielded by) people who are being attractive blatant that their real issue is that The Veilguard features queer characters who are actively presenting as such. To which, I have to question , have you played a Dragon Age game? If you think this is a sudden pivot, I’m doubtful we played the alike games.
If you unseal up the user reviews on critic aggregate site Metacritic, you’ll find dozens of reviews from people calling The Veilguard every variation of “forced woke propaganda” a thesaurus would provide. Google user reviews are pretty much the same. There’s not even an seek to intellectualize the big
But that is not the reason for my post, I just wanted to give a perspective on Veilguard as someone who themselves is LGBTQ+
I am actually LGBTQ+ myself and I have not bought Dragon Age Veilguard because the gameplay looked like trash and this just isn't Dragon Age (based on my impressions of the gameplay trailers)
The review clips I've seen for the game as well so far are also extremely cringe even for me who themselves are LGBTQ+
I watched the IGN review video, it gives it a 9/10 but the clips shown to backup their 9/10 tell a very other story. Namely a cringe game with horrid writing and a game that just isn't actually Dragon Age
It isn't bloody, it isn't gory, they removed blood magic and entire choices in the game are in your confront stuff about diversity, inclusion and trans nonsense

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has Progressive Queerness, But Could Make Missteps
Dragon Age has always been queer, and anyone who says otherwise either hasn't been paying attention, is grifting, or both. But what's appealing is specifically how homosexual Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and the ways in which it shows this queerness, is. From the Rook to the cast to the romances, queerness flows through everything Dragon Age: The Veilguard does. But is it all for the best? I'm not so sure.
It's at this point that I throw rotten tomatoes at those cheering in the audience. I still care for that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is queer, and some of what I saw behind closed doors, as well as the way the devs spoke openly about the infatuation for diversity, gave me a lot of long for for this installment. I like that it's queer , and my reservations aren't that it's 'too gay'. But that's not to say I'm not not concerned.
A New Climax For Progressive Character Creators
My first consideration as I watched the dev take us through Dragon Age: The Veilguard's character creator at Summer Game Fest was 'okay, everyone can shut up about Cyberpunk 2077 now'. I have long taken issue with Cyberpunk 2077's 'progressive' (read:
