The basis of his argument is there wouldn't be scars in a fantasy world because of spells.

What???

The basis was clearly "they wouldn't have trans surgery, because polymorph". . . .not that evil wizards couldn't attack babies and leave scars.

What are YOU on about?

Well. . .i got to see sicboy rage and sky scream because people noticed a leftist thing in a game.

Guess it must be a day that ends in "y"

I might play it when it hits Game Pass, but I haven't played any of the previous games in the series so I'm not invested. I'll check it out if people really love it.

Origins is a seminal work of the genre. Didn't play 2. Inquisition was a good but flawed game.

So if I were to just play one, it should be Origins?

Really depends on what you’re going for. Origins is a really, really great game. But anyone who tells you it isn’t showing its age pretty heavily isn’t being honest. I would say give it a shot, but catch it on sale, and don’t feel any shame if you bounce off of it.

I’d love to hear you mansplain to your mother and the mother of your children that “a scar is a scar” when in reference to a mentally ill woman giving themselves a double mastectomy so they can pretend to be a dude. no big deal. “a scar is a scar.”

Again, you're missing the point. If you had read the rest of the comments you'd probably get it, but this is what happens when you jump right in the middle and assume you know everything. The question, posed by someone else, was the ability, or credibility, of getting rid of scar due to an injury vs surgery.

This feels dumb typing.


FTR, i'm against surgery in that fashion, and I'm especially against parents allowing their children to do so at an early age. Kids are in no position to make life altering choices like that when they are that young and parents shouldn't push them towards that based on the whims of an undeveloped mind and psyche.

But none of that was the point of what I was discussing. But thanks for making it that.

Am i the only one who thinks the design and art style of this game is, well, horrible?

No. It looks like a mobile game to me

Go back and read.

It's free to play with Game Pass because EA Play is included with Game Pass.

I've tried to start a couple of them before but I just couldn't get passed the first few minutes. Need to give one a real shot.

I liked dragon age 2, as well. Pretty fun gameplay
