Summary
ADragon Age 2player has pointed out a problem in the game that’s hard to unsee once one has witnessed it. The player is calling it the “biggest problem” inDragon Age 2, even though the post was made with a sardonic tongue-in-cheek tone.
Dragon Age 2was largely a success for EA even though fans had mixed opinions about it. As the follow-up to thecelebratedDragon Age Origins, the game had a lot to live up to, and ultimately delivered an experience that fell short of many fans' expectations. This was largely due to things like identical dungeon layouts, bugs, and frustrations about being limited to a single character origin story. With that said, it seems there’s been one issue all along that’s now bugging players.
Reddit user Transcended_Sloot pointed out the issue, posting a pair of screenshots fromDragon Age 2’s character creation screen. Players are asked to pick a class and gender for their version of Hawke at the start of the game, and the screenshots showDragon Age’s Rogue classacross the two gender options. As Transcended_Sloot points out, the two versions of the description are identical, with the exception of a comma in the female version that shouldn’t be there. The back button is also off-center, further adding to Transcended_Sloot’s aggravation.
Fellow fans in the comments have been quick to play along, talking about how this unbearable mistake has rendered the game unplayable for them. One joked about getting a refund forDragon Age: Inquisitionafter discovering this, even though the issue is only present inDragon Age 2. Others asked for clarification on which was correct. The male version without the comma is the grammatically correct one, as the female version splits the subject from the predicate with the comma.
Dragon Age Fans Have Bigger Concerns Than Commas About Dragon Age: Veilguard
EA finally released a new trailer forDragon Age: Veilguardduring the Xbox Showcase, which was received with mixed feelings from fans. Players have been eagerly awaiting more information about the title. However, initial responses to the teaser worried that the dark and grim tone of the prior games seemed to be absent, and that it was leaning into quippy dialogue like that seen in superhero movies in recent years. Since then, the game has revealed more of its content and mechanics, likereducingDragon Ageparties from four members to three. Given the legacy of theDragon Ageseries, there are high expectations and hopes for the developers to meet. With any luck, the game will satisfy players and not contain any grammatical issues with unnecessary commas.
