You guys remember when the devs and “fans” decided the Broodmothers were too upsetting and just removed them entirely? In Dragon Age: Origins, they exist for a reason. Broodmothers are how darkspawn reproduce—women of different races are captured, force-fed tainted flesh, and turned into these horrific, bloated creatures that birth new darkspawn. Humans, elves, dwarves, even Qunari all produce different types—hurlocks, genlocks, shrieks, ogres. And the game doesn’t just tell you—it shows you. That entire Deep Roads sequence? The lead-up to Hespith, the tainted dwarf, reciting that poem as you go deeper: “First day, they come and catch everyone…” It’s slow, it’s unsettling, and it builds into the reveal of what Broodmothers actually are. It’s one of the most effective horror moments in the entire series because it forces you to understand what the taint does to people. Darkspawn aren’t just enemies. They’re the end result of complete physical and psychological violation. That’s what makes them terrifying. That’s what makes the taint feel like an actual existential horror. And now it’s just… darkspawn spawning from some vague pool in the ground? You took one of the most disturbing, intentional pieces of worldbuilding—something that defined how monstrous the darkspawn are—and replaced it with something completely sanitized.

"I don't think BioWare is on my side." They never were. Look, I know in your head you think I hate you because you're trans or whatever, but that's not it. We just don’t see eye to eye because we are fundamentally different people. But I don’t like seeing anyone get blatantly manipulated. And you? You, and everyone who became BioWare’s sword and shield during the Veilguard marketing cycle, got played. Hard. Companies don’t care about you. Studios don’t have your best interests at heart. They care about money. And for years, slapping a rainbow flag on their profile and throwing a trans flag charm in an FPS made them money. Not anymore. Now, you’ve been dropped like a sack of hot potatoes. And you’re surprised? I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE DAY ONE.
