Most fans of DA are fans of DA: Inquisition. It outsold the first two games combined twice over.

That's what makes this so amusing. The chuds who just play games with anime girls coming and dissing this I get. But there were some Inquisition fans in the hate wagon too complaining not of the changed art style (which was admittedly... a strange choice, to say the least) but thinking Bioware had changed due to DEI or some nonsense.

Inquisition, you know, the game with a lesbian elf, a gay mage, a transexual mercenary, a bisexual qunari, a black French sorceress...

I'm trying to understand your rationale. You point out how Inquisition had a bunch of diverse characters that fans didn't mind. Yet when those same fans take issue with Veilguard you think their DEI concerns are "nonsense." Sera, Dorian, Krem, Iron Bull, and Vivienne were great characters. They were will written. They didn't hit your over the head with their sexuality or ethnicity. That's the problem with these "DEI" games. They are incapable of writing complex characters that happen to be black or gay, or trans. They write characters with their sexuality or ethnicity being the central focus. Their defining trait. That's not how well crafted characters are created.

Side note: I haven't played through Inquistion in a half decade and despite being terrible with names, i remembered every single one of those characters off the top my head. That's a testament to how good a job the writers did. The current writers of Bioware don't seem capable of such a feat. 

Completely different political climate. Bare in my you have played Inquisition and you have not played Veilguard. Your stance on how characters engage with these topics is based off soundbites from a social media frenzy which is literally trigger happy with any topic which feeds into the notion of "culture wars"
