Dragon Age 4 will be great, and nerdy introverted gamers who hate inclusion will fake outrage

It hasn't been great since Origins honestly. The identity politics is just the cherry on top of this dumpster fire.

Origins was all about gathering different groups and races and setting aside political differences to fight the darkspawn.

You can be political and celebrate diversity as an organic part of the storytelling (see Mass Effect 2, for example) or you can be political and celebrate diversity hamfistedly and so wide of the mark that you even end up having to apologize to the LGBQT community (see Mass Effect Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition). It all depends on your writers' talent, or lack thereof.

Adding on that, going about how "political" and "diverse" your work is before it's even out is a rather crass thing to do in my opinion.

If you want to convey a political message through your work by all means go ahead but when you're spoiling it before it's even out it feels like you're just trying to cash on it or using it as an excuse.

You know its a red flag when they feel the need to highlight that over say, gameplay or fun.
