i find it so interesting how people act like "critically examining a piece of media" is the opposite of "enjoying that piece of media." rip to you but i actually find it really enjoyable and compelling to dissect and think through the art i engage with

#my veilguard criticism tag is 'dav critical' if you want to block it!

A lot of discourse online would probably cease if people recognized that the following feelings are entirely different:

“I love this and I’m critical of it.” (I’m aware of this thing’s flaws and am willing to discuss them in spaces where everyone else also enjoys it and isn’t engaging with critique in bad faith.)

“I enjoy this, but I’m critical of it.” (This is something I really enjoy but it frustrates me in ways that make me indistinguishable from a hater.)

“I dislike this and I’m critical of it.” (There are aspects of this thing that I feel are worth bringing up in discussion because I find them distasteful, but have nothing to do with you, a person who likes that thing, unless you try to argue they’re not distasteful and double down. You’ll get a lot farther if you accept every piece of media will have someone going hmmm don’t like that. See the first bullet point.)

“I dislike this because it’s not to my taste.” (There is nothing objectively wrong with this, but it’s not for me personally.)

“I dislike this and I think everyone who likes it is a [insert insult of choice here that ultimately amounts to calling people a Cocomelon smooth brain baby]” (how about you stop that.)

DRAGON AGE II ebook & paperback out now!

Ebook and Paperback Available Now!

My behind-the-scenes book on Dragon Age II is out now, featuring new interview material from David Gaider and other BioWare folks! Ever wondered how the Dragon Age team creates party members? Or what it's like to be in the Writers' Pit? Or why DA2 got barely one year for development right after Origins had seven? Then you'll need to hear the whole story...

Back blurb:

Rushed through development in just a year to capitalize on the runaway success of its predecessor, Dragon Age II's writing team had only a few months to write an entire game before handing it off to voice acting and development. The result was an often ramshackle sequel featuring a smaller world, fewer companions, and repetitive quests—as well as some of the best characters, dialogue, and storytelling BioWare has ever put to screen. Based on new interviews with DA2 writers David Gaider, Jennifer Hepler, Lukas Kristjanson, as well as editor Karin Weekes, author Charlotte Reber tells the wild behind-the-scenes story of how a team at the top of their game made the best of an impossible assignment to create the series’s first fully voiced protagonist, its charmingly unreliable narrator, and a crew of unforgettable party members to bother, befriend, and romance. From DA2’s inception to its mishandled marketing campaign to its volatile reactions from players, Reber’s book raises a mug of ale to the game that was—and the game that might have been.

Available now at Boss Fight Books! (B&N and Bookshop links coming soon)
