    The best Dragon Age game is still Origins. They've had two sequels that haven't matched the quality of the original. That's what I would worry about. "Woke" had nothing to do with under-delivery.

      Inquisition wasn't quite as bad, I actually enjoyed it because it made an attempt to walk back some of the "streamlining" from 2, though obviously they both pale in comparison to Origins.

      I was kind of hopeful they'd rediscovered their identity somewhat with Inquisition, but 4 looks like that hope was misplaced. They doubled down on abandoning the RPG in favor of the overly simplistic button masher with a smattering of RPG elements that are more or less meaningless.

    Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being "woke." Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal "fight back."

    Profit.

      Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own "woke criticism" press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.
