  • I will give you my review as someone who is a trans ally. The writing is bad. Like really bad.

    I played DA:O when it first came out, bought the Golem bonus release package. It was a fun, dark fantasy game. Same with the expansion and the other DA games. This game has none of that in the story. It’s just a really awful written story.

    The chuds, and I despise even typing this, are right. The trans/non-binary stuff comes out of no where. They go full vegan road biker CrossFit attitude with it and just inject it in the most random places. “Let me tell you about all the sets I did!” And then there are some kind of odd non-consenting scenes which make it even weirder.

    It lacks ALL the magic and creative writing of BG3 with almost none of the character development. It’s Mary Sue shit from start to finish.

    The combat is good, but it’s likely a separate team made it.

















  • I have an internet buddy who is a professional sound guy engineer for concerts. As in the guy that does wave form captures for analytical analysis and tells Taylor Swift “hold your microphone here or else you will sound stupid” kind of guy. He also jokes that he puts packing tape over guitar knobs to “keep these idiots from imma crank it up to 11”.

    Anyways, I asked him about playing to backing tracks and sent him a shitty clip. He said it sounded fine, but told me to remember how all these videos/clips have gone through massive amounts of sound manipulation. He told me “you don’t sound bad, you sound live”. Made me feel a little better, and you likely sound the same so don’t worry about it.

    Keep on jamming.
