My roommate said that Dragon Age was going to be the most woke game and that he would never spend his money on a game published by EA. He bought it day 1 and beat it 3 times. He fucking loves that game.

This series is the opposite of woke if you ask me.

For what it’s worth, Eurogamer itself called the first game bigoted and refused to rate it. It’s really a strange case.

That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.

It’s called the dark ages for a lack of records. Not sure where you’re trying to go with this argument.

It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). My point is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.

For the record, academics and historians generally don’t use the term “the dark ages” anymore.
