I know im gonna regret this but i have question for the internet lore masters here

I am a massive Obsidian fan. Ever since New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity 1, I’ve really enjoyed their games. I have Pillars 2 and Tyranny in my backlog, so I was understandably excited for Avowed.

However, about two months ago, I started hearing some outcry on the internet about the game being "ruined" because it’s "woke" or something. Naturally, I dismissed it at first. But then, the new Dragon Age came out, and let me tell you, it feels like it was made by a combination of an HR department and Tumblr. Now I’m starting to get worried.

What if Avowed isn’t "woke" in the cool, Gen X/Boomer way that New Vegas, Pillars, and even the OG Fallout games are? What if it ends up being "woke" in the Blizzard nightmare diversity chart way—or, as I like to call it, the Hasan-woke, self-righteous, overly simplistic, and lacking-in-subtlety way?

So, with that extremely long explanation out of the way, here’s my question to the DGG internet lore masters: Are my fears justified? Is the game going to be another Vailguard, Dustborn, corporate woke game? Or, even worse, Hasan-woke? (Very unlikely, but still.)

Or is it going to be classic Obsidian-woke—subtle, complex, and politically and morally nuanced, like their other games?

Please let me know! Also, feel free to share your own definitions of "good woke" vs. "bad woke." I’m very curious.

Ps: Very sorry for the extremely long, schizo post, but hey, I figured you would welcome the distraction.
