Really?
My favorite game is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Stop basing your headlines on shaky assumptions for effect.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s politics are not the problem. Throw all the politics you want at me. I don’t mind at all. Quite the opposite. I appreciate it. They give depth to storytelling when they’re well written and well integrated within the world building of a franchise. There are tons of shining examples of that and Veilguard isn’t one.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s problem is that its writing is extremely bad, childish, and feels like a bad fanfiction written by someone who isn’t a fan. Disney has more edge than this.
That kind of writing is pretty literally insulting not only to the franchise and its fans, but to the politics it presents and the people they’re supposed to represent.
Yes. Most games that tell a story are political, and that’s great. But the politics can be supported and enhanced by good writing, or weighed down by bad writing, throwing immersion out of the window. Veilguard is the latter.
