Once again proving, anyone getting mad about videogames beyond consumer protection poo poo, is just the absolute worst kind of person

tbh that's really terrible writing, especially considering that bioware apparently had a well written trans character in DA:I who didn't start the conversation with HELLO I USED TO BE STEVE HOW ABOUT THAT

I agree, it's definitly just someone at a level above middle management going "Guys, have you heard of these tumblrs? I think we gotta give em something so they'll buy the game" which is hollow and dumb, but then again, it seems Mass Effect Andromeda is itself hollow and dumb.

Par for the course

Even AssCreed had a woman dressed up as a man, referred to as He with no further discussion or explanation.

Given that most NPCS have about two lines of dialogue....

Wasn't the gay dude in ME3 named Steve as well?

That was pretty well written, he doesn't introduce himself with "hi i'm gay". You get to know him between missions and eventually it just comes up naturally that his husband was killed a few years ago.

Today's Bioware would have had him in a shirt that was tied off showing his abs and a total gay man lisp thing

The final message from Steve's husband was cheesy as gently caress, though.

I guess we should've seen the warning signs when they introduced the tit robot with heels, and the Cerberus antagonist ended up being a cringy as gently caress anime cyber ninja.

Hated that thing for existing, not because it was a decent antagonist. Should have been a ME version of Alpha Protocol's Marburg. Who could be despised for being an awful person, as opposed to poorly written fight auto losing garbage.

I'm a baby man who can only enjoy DS games when I'm getting drunk with friends and we switch after each death. If I try to play it sober and alone, I just end up beyond frustrated and start getting mad at video games.

You shouldn't get mad at video games.

Yeah, they made an IRL trans person like an internet one and pissed off both groups at once. It is easily the most tone deaf thing I've seen outside of <political party>
