it's so fashy

I've played these games so much so I have no illusions that they are mostly insane liberal propaganda but this always stood out as particularly vile

I occasionally look up the like full dialogue trees of conversations on youtube and anything remotely involving Batarians have like 75% just straight up fascist comments (like literally you see slightly modified quotes of actual fascists)

idk just kinda disheartening to see so many ppl just go fully along with it and have basically nobody be like "hey maybe don't"

It was already kinda racist in KotOR with all the aliens sharing the same three or four voices lines. I was shocked when they reused that idea in Jade Empire

The idea of a Wuxia inspired RPG is cool, but jesus-christ Bioware.

I wish a Chinese company made one instead of a bunch of Canadian nerds

I keep eyeing those Sword and Fairy games, but I think they're made by a Taiwanese team. Might still be cool, but I'd fully expect some brainworms

I have some bad news for you. Many games are in fact made in the United States

What are you talking about, games made in the United States? I only play Crisis in the Kremlin and Disco Elysium berdly-smug
