Funnily enough, even though they were one of the forerunners of woke ideology, none of the original DA games even used the term "gay" (or bisexual, or lesbian, or homosexual, or...). Despite the series' bad worldbuilding and growing promotion of Californian politics, the writers were at least trying to make Thedas feel like a fantasy world divorced from our own in the first three games, where the people's speech patterns don't fully match ours. Which should be the absolute minimum in writing any story that doesn't take place in contemporary times.
The current stock of Bioware can't even do that. Everyone talks and sounds like some modern-day American college asshole.
Seeing as how I'm currently replaying it, I'd argue that Dragon Age Origins actually has excellent world building. Running through the campaign has been an absolute slog because of all the bloody reading I'm stopping to do. They absolutely put the work in on the world building for this one. I maintain that it was the last game Bioware actually released.
