Indicators are showing that Dragon Age is selling just fine. And it's not like they get to their planning meeting and ask, "Can we spend some more time on the game design? It's got real problems," only to be met with, "No, we've got to really focus on diversity this quarter." They're not related. While I hardly trust Ubisoft to wow audiences with a cool story, it's not hard to imagine the related struggles that a foreigner and a woman might have to bond over in that setting.
