I will likely get downvoted into oblivion for saying this (as usual), and I will prelude by saying that I generally never care if there are gay, trans or whatever stuff in games. But transgenders and pronouns were never ever a thing in the Dragon Age franchise, and now they suddenly feature these so prominently. They just handled this very badly.

The fact that writing is generally just plain bad for this game, these inclusive options also seems to affect the rest of the game as well. And it indeed makes it look like they focused on the wrong narrative so much. The way Skill Up reviewed the game was perfect, his best summary was "it's as if HR is standing in every room" or something along those lines. Like nobody is allowed to insult, or be insulted, in this franchise that used to be pretty dark and grim.

But Dragon Age was never good, either.

The first one was mediocre at best with some good ideas, and it was all downhill from there.

Every Dragon Age game has had pronouns because that's how fucking language works. Your brain has just been poisoned by right-wing outrage over "pronouns".

Also, "transgenders" isn't a word. "Transgender" is an adjective, not a noun, not that I expect that to mean anything to someone who freaks out about "pronouns".
