Both Mass Effect and Dragon Age were generally LGB friendly(I think). There were 1-2 people your player character could romance of the same sex(or who were other races equivalent of the same sex if an alien). They did get a bit more woke in the later games especially DA:Inquisition added a T(not as a romance just one character you encounter) and the L/G romanceable options got more stereotypical.

Favorite Game: Horizon Zero Dawn. On the LGB front the player doesn't romance anyone but there are a couple NPCs you encounter who do mention their same sex partner, but that's as far as it goes.

Edit: Hah, no one called me out on suggesting you could romance people of the opposite sex... Fixed.

Ah, I've played a tad bit of Dragon Age Inquisition and it looked rather "edgey". Also heard of the T character---Maybe I should check out the other games in the series/by the company.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a good game! I like the concept of having primal match up with sci-fi. I haven't played it in a while though. Sadly didn't grind enough and got stuck...in one of the beginning levels. Didn't make enough potions to heal...

Honestly, you won't even know the character is trans unless you dive deep into her story via conversations.
And, to be a lore nerd, it actually makes sense given her relationship with the Qunari, who view people via their soul and not their physical forms.

Dragon age Inquisition is great, you can go through the whole game and really feel like a gay hero, if that makes sense. Not sure about lesbian content but there was alot of gay content. The trans character is minor and you don't even need to interact if you don't want to. Fallout and assassin creed odyssey also have same sex content. Mostly its being able to romance same sex characters.

Dragon Age Inquisition was the first game in the series that introduced gay and lesbian characters (as opposed to the bisexual options before). I agree, it's pretty amazing.

Although I fear OP is right and Dragon Age 4 will put more pressure on TQ. I believe Bioware will want to appear as woke as possible.
