Anevia and Irabeth (WotR) were handled much better imo and should have gotten the award instead.
Well, that game was released a couple years ago. I'm not sure if they won if the awards existed back then (probably not since WOTR isn't as well known).
EDIT: I saw you mention Anevia's trans identity in an edit and I do at least think it's cool it's handled with magic in this universe, because how could it not? I mean, I think both approaches are cool (transitioning like in our world or transitioning perfectly with magic) but a magic transition I think serves as a power fantasy of sorts, the only drawback is that it's going to be a bit lacking in representing the struggles of being trans after transitioning. Either way: I think it's cool.
I think Veilguard is just doing DA2 playersexuality again? We'll have to see. I think Lucanis' writer said she wrote him to be a "bisexual mess" or something like that.
I agree with fylimar that I think Aylin and Isobel aren't acting in a particularly outrageous way IMO. What matters to me is that they don't draw a lot of attention to it being a "same sex relationship", though I suppose there's a bit of a metaphor in their forbidden love and Ketheric's disapproval because Aylin's the daughter of Selune.
I would say, Halsin is not very well done for the poly representation imo, which probably is because he was a late addition. But a lot of people seem to like him and I don't care much about that character anyway, so I just ignore him mostly nowadays.
I've seen divided opinions on him from the poly community. I'm not poly myself and particularly dislike him so can't comment on it without being biased. I will say it was refreshing that he makes clear he's bisexual in a single sentence. You ask him about his past experiences or something and he clearly mentions both a woman and some "pirate guy who screamed his name" or some such. That's what that article I shared a post ago is asking for, I think.
