So, what's wrong here? Biowriters are playing gender role game against the rest of the gaming world by overcompensation (kind of, if at all, now that I think about it, no, not even that). I, as a straight male, don't mind and even approve of this movement!
*In Kirrahe's big speech voice* "For the decades of oppression, let the male scum pay!"
I personally don't feel there's a " movement " to compensate anything or history. They have simply stories to tell and women are entirely a part of them. I like how people always find new ways to be offended for something on this forum. Bioware simply gave a good representation of women in their games and that's it. Female characters aren't just victims or innocents or useless in the plot. We have also strong characters, we have antagonists, we have female characters competent or in a powerful position, we have random captains or soldiers as npcs, as it is the case for male characters in DA.
People are intellectually dishonest if they aren't able to find strong male charaters, male who are good guys, or competent. For me, in DAI, Cullen, Dorian, Iron Bull and Solas are competent. And let's not forget that an opinion is hardly a fact, and that in the end it's a matter of perspective and that's why it's not easy to listen to those subjective statements given " as objective facts ". I don't think at all that Alistair was incompetent as a king, or necessarily more than Anora. I like him hardened and he does seem to be a good ruler. When I read in a post yesterday that the Chevalier Gregoire from DAO in the other thread was supposed to be an incompetent as another example of male = incompetent, I rolled my eyes and stopped reading the thread. Gregoire for me is everything but incompetent. 
For every poster thinking that Loghain was a ridiculous jerk, a traitor incompetent, there is another one who thinks that he was a patriot, a good soldier and a competent ruler. Also not everyone prefer Celene over Gaspard, it is very far from the truth. I always choose Gaspard over Celene, and i am not able to choose Celene in any of my playthrough.
The chantry is a matriarchy, so it makes sense that male characters into this organization are less relevant with their roles. If a game tells me that women are those who rule the world and that mens struggle to find their place in the universe of another game, then it is totally okay that I see almost always female characters in powerful positions. Because it is totally coherent with the universe. I actually like when a world respects its lore. I'd be pissed off, if a male character could be suddenly elected as the new divine in Orlais for example. In Tevinter that makes sense, not in the south.
When I look at Petrice and Meredith, they don't appear at all better than Loghain. As characters first, but also as antagonists. Those female characters can been seen as jerks, stupid, and doing horrible stuff. We can kill them. If there was any agenda to absolutely picture women in a better light than men, well it pretty much failed there, lol. Like I said, Bioware decided that they were entirely a part of this world like male characters.
As for samson vs Calpernia. Yes, I do admit that the latter is much better to me, but it is more the result of the templar path being better developped to me than the mage path, and that has nothing to do with any agenda to put a female character in a better light than a male character. People are overreacting over nothing, and play too much with their imagination. I have listened to Samson during his judgements and he has pretty much his motivations too, like Calpernia. I understood what he felt, so again not everyone thought the same.
Anyway, this topic is a joke, and I am uncertain why it isn't locked yet. Nothing productive could come from this.
Retour en haut
Or is the hang-up some are having solely because lots of women having power is viewed as a bad thing? Because that's what it starts feeling like, to be honest.
