I'm playing Dragon Age Veilguard and I think it actually is one of the most woke games ever (hexbear.net)

Its great. You meet treasure hunters who share artifacts with the cultures they're from so that those cultural leaders can decide what to do with them. You help a character come to terms with their gender identity. You encourage people to build community in more than just a "we can win with the power of friendship" kinda way. I'm only on the first half of the game too.

It reviewed kinda mid but honestly these touches have totally sold me. It's actually feels like the writers of this game were a multicultural group of people who put thought into making it inclusive.

Is anyone else playing? Is this the experience others are having? Is all this based-ness why people are review bombing it?

I find the Bellara criticism funny. As someone with ADHD she's one of my favorites. A bit off putting at first but honestly I think she's great.

Overall the writing isn't great but I think it's pretty consistent in tone. It feels a bit lighthearted and I don't mind it.

I decided to continue playing before I reply to you, and now after roughly 60 hours and progressing Bellara's story, I agree with you, my criticism was funny. i-cant She turns out quite alright and becomes very intriguing after a few more hours.

I honestly have to say tho, they really butchered the beginning of the game, and the more you progress, the more it seems to find it's footing, or dare I say, a Dragon Age-esque tone.

Yeah the start is kinda rough but I think it finds its form. Glad it's growing on you!
