EA SUCKS but so does Bioware Thread

Looking good! Made me optimistic.
I wish I was able to refrain from looking at the pre-release content, though. I played both DA and ME trilogies knowing absolutely nothing of the games, not even who the companions were (meeting Jack and finding "he" was nothing like I was expecting was one of the best surprises I had in games), and that turned out so well I wish I could repeat it for the next installments. But with both Andromeda and Veilguard, I couldn't really help myself (hopefully Veilguard will not be an overall repeat of Andromeda).
The way the Qunari horns mesh into the head is kinda off putting, though. Hopefully it's just an issue of getting used to it, since I intend to have a Qunari Rook, as my previous three protagonists belonged to the other three races. That aside, my only real issue is the fact they went back to playerssexual companions, something I strongly dislike (it's the kind of move devs make to feign diversity while actually avoiding comitting to it)... I know the director said "they are not playerssexual, they just happen to coincidently be all pansexual", but that's bs.Since it's been so long since I played DA:I, I was thinking of going at it again so I could remember the basic stuff (I couldn't even remember Harding was an existing character), but I'm afraid it might get me burned out instead of hyped for the next game...

That is 100% BS.
Let half the cast be open to anything. But it makes them more interesting when some of them ARE 100% straight, or gay, or in Solas' case, ONLY willing to go along with a female elf specifically.
It leads to more unique and diverse playthroughs.
If EVERYONE is pan then no one is. It's pandering, it's lazy, it's less interesting. Yeah I feel bad for anyone that wanted to romance character X and were locked out, but that gives a reason to play a second time and do it differently.

I mean you’re not wrong.

I'm glad someone caught the joke, I thought it might be too subtle.

You could’ve went for something more groan inducing but you didn’t take the easy way out.
