      Honestly I feel like the death knell for this project was their focus on procedurally generated open worlds. Every time I've seen that be a focus in development in games this size its been a disaster. The fact that they had to swap script writers and basically come up with a story only halfway through was where it became clear that this was gonna suck

      I think that's mainly a you problem. You can criticize the writing for lacking the intruige and bite the older games had by having morally complex characters and realistic feeling and even dark world building despite the sci-fi setting. But the fact that you're saying social justice ideology and virtue signaling instead of any deeper critiques about the mechanics of the writing that ended in it feeling flat or underwhelming inspires zero faith in me that you actually looked at the story and tried to engage with it beyond recoiling like you got stung by a bee the moment you saw something that wasn't the fps space military game you got attached too in the first place.

    They modeled Scott Ryder's face off an actor, and while they did the same with Sara Ryder they also altered her in-game face to "be less attractive and more realistic".
    Bad enough the writing was full of what I call "purple Hawke" moments. Scenes that try so hard to be funny and almost every line of dialogue had to be "snappy" and "quippy".
    Not to mention the devs raised questions only to reveal after the fact they had no intention of answering them because they didn't plan that far ahead.
    A patch can't fix this game, it needs to be called non-canon and or rebuilt from scratch to even have a chance of standing in the same league as the trilogy.

      That might be partially true, but I'm pretty sure default Sara Ryder didn't become such a meme because of a design note like that. What is more likely is that between the original design from one studio and animation development from another, in an overseas studio, Bioware simply was too big a gaming studio to see that fixing faces be a priority.
      It didn't look right, and they knew it.

    Its very fascinating to listen all these dialogues from the life of american soy twitter tumblr teenagers. About the accent, asari gender identity and other shit. In a game about another galaxy, spaceships and killing invasive aliens. This ABSOLUTELY does not kill all the interest in the characters and the fictional world.

      Worse than not far, they went the complete opposite direction.
      A good thing though, since it means they didn't shit on everything involved in the trilogy itself. Just the brand name and the usage of their species.
