Part 3/11:
“Dragon Age: The Veil Guard” is often criticized for its heavy focus on social and cultural inclusion, featuring transgender and non-binary characters prominently. Such inclusivity was presented as a heartfelt attempt to reflect modern diversity, but many players and critics felt that the execution was flawed or superficial. A notable example among critics was a PC Gamer writer who, feeling frustrated with how the game handled non-binary and transgender storylines, publicly identified as non-binary to demonstrate his concerns. This act was seen by some as an overreaction or an attempt to virtue signal rather than a genuine evaluation of the game's storytelling.
