It's stuff like this that makes me want to just move on really.

 

I should just give it up. DA is a lost cause.

I'm just kidding mate.  Horns do nothing for me.

Right now, I kinda want to fight a bear though.

Horns can also be for middle class caucasians to play something alien, so they can tap into a supposed progressive mindset. "Hey look! I'm so open to the radical and different. I've overcome racism because of my video game choices!"

 

And no, I'm not stretching it. Ive gotten hints of it here and there. I think it's very deliberate on Bioware's part. They think they're uncovering something insidious and prejudiced in people, when they present their racial points with radical imagery. As if that wasn't the natural response.

 

Worse yet, I hate being spoken to about race from this demographic. Like Patrick Weeks. The 40 something White guy with a Stanford degree, who probably makes 5 times as much as me. How many of them have gotten their ass kicked for simply being a "******" or or "******" or a "spic"? How did they ever get this platform?

Or maybe no-one really gives a toss.  I know I don't, I just like to be entertained.

You know I just generally really appreciate the way BioWare and their writers handle Diversity.  They are not holier-then-thou and they treat all their groups in their universe with shades of grew.  THe Dalish aren't all pure and clean as the wind driven snow (though they should be) and the Templars aren't all mustache twirling villains.  Good and bad in all groups and all things.

Then that fits in the fratboy category. Either way, they both suck.

 

I'd appreciate the Qunari again if they have more of a purpose than "looks". Race and culture is not about appearances. Not in RPGs and not in the real world.

[Serza]

Well hello to you to.

 

Optimist.

They don't handle it well.. for what I just stated. It gets reduced to looks. Which is what racists think too.

That's my schtick.  Dunno why when we have the triumvirate of evil running for President.

I don't agree, but did you just call me racist?

I think most players are harmless and just want to have fun. That only annoys me when it becomes the "motherfucking horns" territory of fun. I want to have fun too, but childishness isn't my thing.

 

But diversity? The games have slowly gotten less diverse. For example, dwarves keep being being presented as surfacers, who act human. Their distinguishing characteristic and hook is reduced to looks. It's more annoying when someone goes "Oh, humans are so boring." But then basically play a human in all but name.

Oh.  Huh.  I never thought of it like that before.  Annnd though I think that could be a problem in the Setting though rather then actual intended racism on BioWare's part.  After all the Dwarves only exisist in two small Kingdom's that are constantly under siege, relatively isolationist, and are by far in a way in the waning period of their civiliation/ Empire.  I feel quite confident though that...well first two DA games were set up, DA I focused on Elves...and...Elves I guess.  But I think the next game set in Tevinter will focus on Dwarves/ Humans...or perhaps Humans/ Qunari...or perhaps all three.  DA I really was not the place to get all Dwarfy.
