They sanitized being queer so much in Veilguard and for what. Your Inquisitor still needs to be binary, and god forbid if they transitioned between games. And for what, Cullen and Solas? Girl, dump him and take his gender. It won't fix you but it'll make shit funnier.
IF more than one romance actually mattered id understand it being too complicated to allow for transition, but seriously? only solas gets more than a codex entry afaik, how hard it would have been to have the m inquisitors record voice lines and have gareth david lloyd record alternate versions of like..any gendered lines which i assume there aren't many of. they should have dropped the illusion that romances had content and just done a 'did you romance solas?' toggle that any inquisitor could turn on lol
#ask#anonymous#sanitised really is the word. when ive finished the game maybe ill properly collect my thoughts on it#im just personally a fantasty homo/transphobia enjoyer. i know some people prefer escapism jn fantasy but#i think it's a good and interesting/safe way to explore feelings and dynamics surrounding being queer#and having veilguard be as surface level as it is wrt transphobia just feels like it isnt fully capturing feelings surrounding being trans#relatability isnt everything but how do you make a trans character feel real when they face none of the struggles#the average trans person faces?#ofc. may be a product of being made by middle class-ish canadians in a liberal city but i think it may be due to ea / sensitivity readers#veilguard spoilers#also im mad about the dorian romance because it feels like they dangle it in front of your face. but also no sera or josie????#theyre literally alive no matter your worldstate. they could have so easily thrown a bone to gay and lesbian players lol#bull's whole deal being butchered is another thing let's not even get into it. weekes you CHOSE to do that.#sorry these are tipsy rantings. but. i get my dissertation results back this week and wrote about negative emotion + transness#in fiction so if i get a good result maybe ill be able to write something real about dav#as it is im too scared to properly think about the topic bc im nervousdjwjdjwjej
