Honestly, though, this idea that DA2 fans are a tiny minority is a misnomer. I did some Googling and if you look at sales figures and critical acclaim, DA2 actually performed better than DA:O. The game had a wider audience and it appealed to older (i.e. more intellectually inclined) players, but DA2 is a ‘queer’ game. The story doesn’t fit the traditional romance model for a male or female lead and that’s why it’s considered ‘divisive.’ Also, sexual orientations aside, it showed a man as a victim of sexual abuse, it had a white guy as a terrorist, it showed women in ‘traditionally masculine’ positions of authority, Hawke got ‘friendzoned’ by Aveline etc, etc, etc. The complaints literally boil down to ‘it was too real and it forced me to look at life beyond my cozy bubble.’ The reason behind DA2’s perceived failure is simply that there were enough morons that felt so threatened by it, that they’re STILL attacking fans of the game 4 years down the line. If anything, it’s THESE guys who are the true minority, but they make so much noise that ppl don’t seem to realise it. fact is, doesn’t even help to call people like this on their myriad of homophobias, because they honestly don’t care.
