I hate Dorian because he is clearly intended to appeal to the type of Tumblr fangirl who loves lovely British sci-fi shows and writes romances involving the lead dudes in them. Instead of, you know, actual gay guys.

dorian is my friend, i like everyone besides sera and cole. cullen is extremely forgettable but that might have more to do with him being in an awkard spot in the castle so i keep forgetting he exists

the trans section in dragon age felt very awkwardly paternal

It stood out because a lot of the "progressive" stuff in DA:I didn't feel like affectations at all, which was nice. That one did, though.

I remember inadvertedly triggering one of the romance subplots in Jade Empire and it was super weird and unexpected but also hilarious.

No man's sky looks great and exploration does sound appealing in theory, but I'm not sure I can play that sort of game unless I can do something like eliminate an entire species.

Or destroy the whole ecosystem a planet and then peace on out to the next system.

Will there be guns in it?

There is ship-to-ship combat, at least. You can see it in the trailer.

Cool.

Been keeping myself in the dark about this one, first because I thought it was PS4 only but it seems to be coming for PC as well.

But I also think it's for the best not to speculate on this sort of game since you'll let your imagination get the better of you.

I think with Liara they wanted to go with a Leliana type that you could either influence to be ruthless or more merciful but her arc in the first two games really didn't support that. Then in the third she's just kind of there, having already completed her arc in the Shadow Broker DLC. I forget what character development she really gets at all.

Wait you can do that with leliana? I just started playing DA:O for the first time and I asumed she was always going to be a garbage heap do-gooder

Depending on your choices you can get her to admit that the whole born-again Chantry thing was just a lie and that murdering people is her true calling in life.

It actually isn't always that bad it just depends how dumb your character acts. All I got was a short thing where iron bull said "where I come from it's no big".

Also the Trans dude is voiced by commander Shepard :cool:

I figured out he was a woman just from Bioware's stock character models, I chose to ignore the questions they wanted me to ask regarding it and moved on to the rest of IB's crew. No speech at all for me.
