[MEA Spoilers] Bioware spreading that mental health awareness :).

but at least those are hotly debated issues among differently thinking people or they are simply tied to racism, or homophobia. and there is the other end of the spectrum, things like Battlefield1. which does deserve some heat. but PTSD, depression and all kinds of mental illnesses don't compare to these. and apart from obvious trolls I haven't really seen sizable negativity towards these things. so I just can't see how it is pushing anything. what I'm trying to say that POC or gay characters at least can be seen as pushing an agenda by some people (or in some cases it is indeed an agenda), these hardly.

it's a nice message, but it's nothing extraordinary, it fits the theme of the game, it adds realism. I wouldn't say it was put in the game especially to raise awareness, even though it can be a side-effect. I feel like calling it an agenda does it a disservice, takes away its "niceness" and I also think had a few people not started to call it an agenda, it wouldn't even have popped up in other's minds. ah, now I'm also at the point of overthinking it

my last two cents: even as someone who also has some problems, it confuses me why it needs some special recognition, why are we making such a deal out of this as it is already recognized. at least where I live.
