Im not even surprised, I actually expect this kind of thing to happen, it just became the norm. I have some theories of why this happens but difficult to prove. It's a real turn off for me when I see games do this kind of thing because you can easily see it's forced, it just screams in your face. Like how the group of heroes look like an american corporate advertisement. But if this is the game they wanted to do and their bosses agreed with it then good for them.

Why do they hate boobs though, like boobs are some big evil and they must be no larger than an A cup 🤔.  It's perplexing.

Maybe they were giving her back problems and she decided to have breast reduction surgery for a better quality of life. It's not exactly something anyone was going to notice without someone pointing it out.  It's been so long since I've played DA2 that I don't even remember the character.

They say it's because they do not want to appease to the male gaze, so when you have a character that would be considered sexy according to the majority of the male public that means it needs to be changed. But I believe there is more behind it.

Yeah, but it's not just that. In the character creator you have a very small bust size too and also the posterior region for females. It's weird. They hate women and yet the team comprises of many women, I don't understand it.

I'm not saying I wanna play a game with big boobs...just why do the DEI pushing folks hate women's body parts like... it makes no sense.

There's definitely a huge discrepancy when it comes to portraying objectively attractive people in Western vs Eastern video games these days lol.

People in the West get too easily offended, so I'm guessing it has something to do with devs wanting to avoid that kind of negative reception. It's not the case every single time, (Shadowheart ) but majority of the time it is the case.

Spot the differnce, in character models? Isabela isn't allowed to be curvy or have boobs anymore.

What I really wanna know is why is it they always change a character or create new ones that feature gaunt looking faces (cheekbones that are barely flush or filled, looking like they had the life sucked out of their facial structure) and square looking jawlines.

Like you can even spot this in the two featured images. The left has a rounded chin and some flush cheeks, whilst the right has a gaunt looking cheeks, squared off jaw line and tightly pursed lips. The right even looks like a walking irl racial stereotype, and I also gotta ask "why is that focal point on irl race put into a fantasy game, that is supposed to feature completely made up races?".

It feels like it's super hard for older or politically charged devs to not inject irl politics into games these days. Meanwhile there's games like Webfishing that are popping off for being chillax, not focusing at all on any kind of pol movement for change and the like. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Eurogamer gave it 5/5, that to me nowadays means, avoid.

After reading the review, nah not for me. Nothing like DA:Origins which I loved, all 4 play-throughs. Besides not liking the art style, why an action RPG with no direct control over your characters nor equipment. What's the point.

Oh well, more time to spend in VR! Something is releasing soon, erm I bought it a while ago, guess I'll find out when it starts downloading lol.

Metro Awakening! Nov 7. That's what I'll be playing.

Oh christ. What about the female gaze, women assess other females bodies as much as men do.

Damn, if you get offended by some normal sized tits then fuuuu. Did people get offended over Stellar Blade? Or Bayonetta for that matter... I don't remember any outrage for Bayonetta. I think this is the fear of outrage that isn't there. I see more people outraged when they changed a bikini outfit on stellar blade. Outrage isn't why this is happening, it's some insnae ideology among these devs. I'd love to spend a week in one of these studios to see what the hell is going on.
