Ah, what a fascinating response. Direct, albeit misguided. Let’s address this properly.
First, you accuse me of being “negative” and “insulting,” yet your own post is rife with personal attacks, calling me “the worst part of all forums” and suggesting I “haunt Steam forums” instead. It’s ironic, isn’t it? To decry what you perceive as toxicity while engaging in it yourself. I have criticized a game’s design choices, yes, but never have I attacked another member for their opinion. The same cannot be said for you.
Now, let’s tackle the heart of your frustration. My posts have critiqued Dragon Age: Veilguard from the perspective of a fan who has invested over a decade into this franchise. I care deeply about its legacy. My criticisms, yes, even the humor-laced ones, stem from a desire to see it reach the heights it once achieved. Calling out poor design decisions, shallow mechanics, or a departure from the series’ essence is not “insulting.” It’s advocating for a better future for the franchise. If passionate critique is unwelcome here, then what exactly is the purpose of this forum? To pat BioWare on the back regardless of what they deliver?
You mention that I have “insulted every single person” who enjoyed the game. That’s simply untrue. Disagreeing with someone’s perspective on the game isn’t an insult. It’s a discussion. Forums are meant to be spaces for debate, where ideas are exchanged, challenged, and defended. If a critique of the game feels like a personal slight, perhaps the issue isn’t with my posts, but with how criticism is being perceived.
As for your suggestion that EA needs a block feature, let me caution against this line of thinking. Blocking or silencing dissent does not improve a community. It creates an echo chamber, where only agreeable voices are heard, and progress is stifled. Constructive criticism, even when sharp, is vital for the evolution of any franchise. Without it, we risk celebrating mediocrity simply because it is “safe” to do so.
So, no, I won’t “haunt Steam forums,” nor will I dilute my thoughts to spare fragile egos😉. I will, however, continue to critique this game. And any future installments will be treated with the same care, depth, and passion that Dragon Age deserves. If that makes me the “worst part of all forums” in your eyes, then so be it🤷♂️. I’d argue that the true disservice to this community would be sitting silently while the series loses everything that once made it great.😘
