Here’s an interesting thing.
Whenever you combine two characters in Heroes of Dragon Age, their outfit changes slightly.
Guess what?
The women lose armor. The men gain it. I’ve seen it in the Desire Demon, Circle Mage Bethany, Tevinter Arcane Warrior, Anders etc. All the men seem to get more clothes, while the women get more ornaments and… well. A deeper neckline. That is SO logical! Because when I get better at something, I take my clothes off to celebrate too!
I’m SO tired of this shit.

Here’s another interesting example of what happens when female characters are treated as an optional presence in a game and how the male gaze works when it comes to the physical representation of women. In this case ‘female soldiers’.

Especially sucky since the legacy of Dragon Age has been awesome female characters. Guess the developers of this knock off app didn’t get that…

Det här j***a s**tspelet för f*n inga rätt någonstans! Sämsta designen i den här genren som jag någonsin har sett.
Jag gillade DA och även DA 2 väldigt mycket, men det här är en styggelse som borde förpassas till soptippen! Inte minst på grund av sexism.
