My read on what he and others were concerned about was that DA Origins introduced an aesthetic of low fantasy, dark and medieval themes. Many felt, including him, that the new characters felt like very generic MOBA-style designs that didn’t feel particularly at home in the DA world they hoped to see. Since some channels have gotten to play the game now the outlook seems to be changing with some creators saying the trailers and released material did a poor job of showing the overall art direction. Also, it seems fun, that helps. Keep in mind, a healthy concern over Bioware is very warranted these days.
They posted the reddit discussion about the DAV, the proportions are awful, the characters look like a bobblehead, the art style is realistic and sometimes cartoony. The same problem with the proportions was also a common criticism of ME Andromeda,which they later fixed, so it seems like Bioware hasn’t learned.
Also they could just post this discussion without citing the Asmongold but they need the clickbait.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but railing against “forced diversity” is just a dog-whistle for rejecting actual diversity.
Normal people don’t actually care about it. If something is shit because it’s badly written with bad character design then we say “it’s shit because it’s badly written and has bad character design,” not “it’s bad because it has women and minorities.”
Someone literally wrote an entire “article” about some random youtuber’s reaction to a game that’s not even out.
What a fuckin state.
Average modern games “journalism”
Isn’t Asmongold one of those GamerGate dorks who hates “diversity in muh games”?
I’m gonna play this game. I don’t care about the negative GG/anti-Sweet Baby reviews.

He doesn’t hate diversity, in games or anything else. He is annoyed by forced diversity, like most normal people.
Just make cool stuff without trying to check boxes, its not hard.
People that complain about forced diversity are complaining about diversity. No one is forcing excessive diversity on you.

Idk. If his fans are posting shit like this in his sub, he must attract a certain type of viewer.
