IGN DESTROYED by Gamers for Shilling Dragon Age Veilguard’s Woke Mess!

Dragon Age The Veilguard: Top Surgery Scars and Woke Character Customization

The new Dragon Age game, The Veilguard, has quickly become a hot topic in gaming circles. With BioWare needing a hit after failures like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, they’re betting big on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Unfortunately, fans who were once excited have now expressed disappointment over the inclusion of unnecessary features in the character creator, most notably top surgery scars, which feels like pandering to a niche audience rather than appealing to the majority of gamers.

Mainstream media, like IGN, is aggressively promoting this feature, hailing it as an example of "stunning queer representation in Dragon Age: The Veilguard." But, let’s be real: the models they've showcased are downright awful, featuring clipping hair, awkward facial features, and a lack of attention to detail that we’d expect from a major AAA title. IGN’s attempt to highlight the diversity in the character creator backfired with a brutal ratio, showing that fans are fed up with the injection of identity politics over quality gameplay.

We’ve seen ugly character models that look like a mix of Handsome Squidward and something out of a meme generator. Instead of focusing on making great content, BioWare has thrown in sliders for bulge size, vitiligo, heterochromia, asymmetrical ears, and yes, top surgery scars. While offering customization options is typically a good thing, the overwhelming sentiment from the Dragon Age community is that BioWare is missing the mark by catering to the 0.1% of players who care about these features.

Moreover, fans are furious that there are chest and butt sliders, but they only go from "small to concave" rather than providing the option to create more exaggerated body types, like those seen in games like Black Desert Online, which still boasts one of the best character customization systems over a decade later.

Should you buy Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Well, if you're into woke character creation, sure, but if you care about quality, you might want to steer clear. Dragon Age has always been a beloved franchise, from Dragon Age: Origins to Inquisition, but this latest iteration is drenched in identity politics rather than the epic fantasy experience we’ve come to expect.

Even the pronouns system feels forced. Why not just offer male and female options and allow customization from there? It’s clear that instead of focusing on making Dragon Age 4 a success, BioWare is doubling down on queer representation and activism, much to the dismay of loyal fans.

With Dragon Age: The Veilguard on the horizon and BioWare struggling to keep up with expectations, it remains to be seen whether they can turn the tide before the game’s official launch. Right now, both BioWare and IGN are being dragged for pushing political agendas instead of delivering on quality gameplay that could rival other fantasy RPGs.

The problem isn't necessarily with representation—it's that BioWare has lost sight of what makes a great game, and instead, they're choosing to inject divisive elements into the heart of the experience. Many fans are asking: where is the focus on creating stunning characters like we saw in Dragon Age: Inquisition or even Dragon Age: Origins?

For now, it's a waiting game, but the early previews for Dragon Age: The Veilguard don’t paint a positive picture. The game looks like a mess, and unless something changes, fans who have stuck with Dragon Age since the beginning are in for another disappointment. And with IGN acting like this is some monumental achievement, we have to wonder whether the media is in on the joke, or if they’re just that out of touch with gamers.
