New Dragon Age game features unique apology scene involving pronouns and press-ups

In "Dragon Age: The Veilguard," a new cutscene features a character, Isabela, who misgenders a nonbinary character, Taash. To apologize, Isabela performs five press-ups, referencing a tradition called "pulling a Barve." This tradition is meant to show genuine effort in making amends, contrasting with typical quick apologies. Isabela explains that it helps avoid making the situation about the apologizer instead of the person wronged. While some players have expressed dissatisfaction with this scene, the game allows players to choose how to engage with it. Overall, the game has received positive reviews from critics.
