They say a character is badly written (B), but really they find the queer subject matter uncomfortable (A)

I think both is true. I said it in another comment, but veilguard is just not the correct environment for this type of character arc. It doesn’t have anything to do with being queer, a pubescent teenager who acts like a dick all the time would be equally annoying. People just don’t want to play with annoying characters.

This topic would be great for a dontnod game that could appropriatly handle that topic - not an RPG.

Was Morrigan popular when da:o was new? She’s an extremely edgy teenager.

I really don’t think queer stuff needs to be banished from the realm of RPGs.

  Morrigan has a great character arc where she really opens up, gives witty responses to many things especially if you have alistair in the party and just becomes very likeable later on.

  Never said that it should be. Nobody cares if there are trans people or other queer stuff in games. That kind of stuff already exists and the only people that are mad about it are some rightoids. But I feel like bioware wanted to make a game where one of the “main focusses” lies on trans people issues but just chose the wrong platform for it.
