I've recently replayed DA:O and I've noticed a few things

It is a good game despite clunky combat with a lot of lore and love put in to it but:

• All companion dialogue is you pleasing them. You can't change their mind. This is also a problem with quests like Orzzamar. You can't for instance ask Harrowmont to keep the traditions but increase trade despite not being any issue with tradition. It's either progressive or isolationist to extreme.

• there is already signs of millennial writing with Alistair.

• Some lesbian crap that seemed rushed with Oghren's wife. It almost looked like someone tried to add a lesbian in a story that was already done. First it was implied that Oghren started drinking because his wife went to the deep roads without him and he was holding on to hope even after 2 years but apparently he feels nothing for her and she was a lesbian that took her lesbian lover with her. Made 0 sense.

In the DLC Awakening a lot of fighters you talk to are women despite having like 1 female fighter in the original. In the main game you see no female templar but now you have a woman "Ser" templar. It also tries to hammer home how the mages are just oppressed rather than walking timebombs.

It definitely looks like there was a woke escalation between DA:O and the DLC.
