I get OPs point, I'm dying to see a Qunari Inquisitor.

 

How ironic to claim that we're being greedy in the same sentence you openly admit that 99% of Game Developers pale in comparison to what BioWare does, even if they could use some work.

 

Please, don't even get me started on this one lol.

Thread about advertisement. 10+ pages in a few hours.

 

Romance threads. 10+ pages in a few hours.

 

A decent thread.  Five posts in a few days.  

 

Do you have anything to add to the actual discussion or are you just trolling?

You're that David7204 guy aren't you?

 

Anyway, how is this thread redundant? A dev even said that this thread raised a valid point.

 

Yes I am and because it's been brought up many times.

Well, why don't you go to the decent threads and post something intelligent that people will want to respond to instead of making snide comments here.

 

And there is my favourite comment of the New BSN so far.

Am I the only one who doesn't care what they show in trailers but the game itself matters more?

Surely the fact that Bioware aspires to be excellent with regards to stuff like this means that it is even more worthy to point out how they could get better, especially as they would be more likely than most to actually listen?

 

Besides, I believe that in matters of equality, there is no such thing as greed. It's not greedy to desire people being equal.

 

 

The thing is that you're just flat out calling them sexist for not being better and ignored any reasoning given to you as to why the advertising might feature only a single person as the inquisitor.

 

Not only is that a false claim, but it's also not constructive which goes against creating a thread to give feedback to BioWare.

The game does matter more.

 

That doesn't stop advertisement being a worthy topic of discussion.

LOL...would be kind of hard to have had a thread about this trailer and the website launch....since the trailer and new website just came out today.

I don't.. well, I think most men are sexist. It's engrained in our society. I mean, the important thing is whether you stay complacent and leave things as they are, because well, at least your intentions are good, right? Nothing will change with that sort of thinking. Bioware are leagues ahead of other game companies, but that doesn't mean there isn't always room to improve. If you don't think equal representation is important in our society, I'd be glad to direct you towards some light reading on the issue, because I'm afraid you're sorely mistaken.

Just because someone is much less sexist than others doesn't make them entirely not sexist.

 

Just like something being much smaller than something else doesn't stop it from existing.

 

And it is not a false claim: so far the advertising has only included one male. You'[e welcome to show me the videos of the others, however.

 

Besides, the dev who posted in here said himself that it was a valid point.

 

And, actually, I have been constructive. I commented on how amazing their cover was, but said that they could have done better with something else related to that issue. I have not gone 'YOU'RE SEXIST AND I DON'T LIKE YOU.'

Why couldn't the Inquisitor have been in a wheel chair too, in support of the handicapped?


Christ, so many bases to cover! Lol

As a guy whose cousin's second wife's daughter is handicapped, I demand that the Inquisitor be put on leg braces for the next trailer.

People tend to jump to conclusions when it comes to game features and when they don't see something they are expecting to see in a gameplay trailer I think that they become resentful and their criticisms of the game (and to the company) become more personal despite some of the features not being shown that will be available are a "no brainer" so to speak (gender, skin tone, race, etc). I remember people outright refusing to buy WWE'13 if it carried over the terrible skin color options from WWE'12 for Create-a-Wrestler (basically it was a chart with several different colors ranging in intensity and only 3 or 4 actually looked like realistic skin tones the rest looked like Smurfs, Gumby, the Simpsons, etc. The divas still get a raw deal on every end but that's another story...) and they couldn;t make their CAWs look just-so. I wonder if BioWare suddenly put out a couple of different gaming mag ads featuring an Inquisitor of a different sex/race/tone close to launch would it make any difference in the general opinion of wanting/not wanting to buy/play the game because of that?

I'm offended that the Inquisitor in the trailer was not a restaurant employee.

You're being immature and resorting to reductio ad absurdum.

 

There is no option for the inquisitor to be handicapped, hence it makes no sense for that to be in the trailer.

 

Please just try to come up with discussion on the actual issue rather than going 'LOL I'M GOING TO MAKE A JOKE ABOUT EQUAL PRESENTATION GONE TOO FAR I AM SO TOP KEK AND ORIGINAL'.

 

:) Thank you.

Again, no-one is saying we won't be able to play as a woman.

Um.....yes it is.

 

Sexism against men is just as bad as sexism against women. Otherwise that would hardly be equality, would it?

What is wrong with your ableism talk seriously just stop. And why not there are already characters with some degree on movement impairment like Joker. I am not seeing how is that invalidates, people waiting to have a more diverse Inquisitor.
