*phew* Was too busy to respond yesterday, but now I have a moment~

I’m currently playing Dragon Age 2 and it’s been a bit boring compared to Origins tbh

I think quite a few people think this because the two are so very *Different* in how they present their stories: Origins has a lot of traveling around, traditional elements while DA2 is primarily in one location/a bit more experimental. In my mind: DA2 was always about focusing on relationships + dynamics of others -- how groups of people affect each other; the psychology of living in a city that's steadily boiling over throughout the years. I also think the romance in DA2 is some of the most PEAK (OG)Bioware good good out there + completely changed the game on *how* a character can be romanced (heavily inspires the romance in my own game <3); one of my all time fav chars is a RO in DA2 (Isabela).

Thanks for the kind words re: my game! I actually think it says a lot about people (and their lived experience) on how they take a title like 'Pu$$y Trauma' (which - I Adore, btw -- one of my all time bests) -- it's def not 'pussy = women'. But I also think 'pussy', a vagina, is one of the mightiest things in this world for how marginalized/shamed/objectified it is. So there's that. But 'pu$$y', is also a (cheeky) nod toward it being a VERY sapphic/wlw game. The dollar signs are also intentional; it's a game based on homelessness and you can't tell that story without: money.
You can be trans in PT(oc you can)! But yeah: Just like real life, there's racism, multiple phobias, etc.  It isn't a sugarcoated kinda game; deliberately so. It's conveying real issues and ones that will make people uncomfortable. And you *should* be uncomfortable -- because it's not right these things exist.

Hope to learn more on your project/your aims, too -- talk soon!
