I can guarantee you that Taash is the director self inserted in the game (at least one of "them"). And Taash is easily the worst companion in the history of Dragon Age. Her randomly throwing temper tantrums everytime Rook chat with Taash, extremely confused about herself, being extremely rude to mostly everyone, trying to act all tough, extreme cringe with the Non binary BS, her or they hehe voice is terrible. (Spoiler) and I laugh so hard when her/they mother dies at the hand of the Dragon King. 🤣

Taash is a hypocrite, calling Emmrich a 'deathmage' when Emmrich plainly asks her to not do that. The stupidest thing is that the people behind Taash clearly don't think Taash's behavior is problematic at all lmao. Also why was she mad at her mother? Who mother outright was trying to understand and accept Taash while Taash just bitches at her for...no reason? lmao Also now that I'm seeing this, I never noticed the actual quality for Taash's voice acting. Comparing Taash to Harding and its a night and day difference in quality. Who ever is playing Harding is actually putting in effort while the person being Taash is just, reading off a script. jesus

Don't forget neve too. I just don't like the voice acting, she's like just reading her lines. Her and taash are the characters I don't want to recruit but sadly they're forced on us

[@andre_santos2181]

As a non-native English speaker, the use of plural they for non-binary individuals feels like the absolute bankruptcy of meaning-whatever non-binary even means! - We recruited them - But there is just one person - it is them - Where are the other? - Taash is them - Taash is one of them - No, she is them - She, but the other? - Oh no, I will need to make ten push-ups for my crimes!! It is not she, it is they. - Where are the others, you said "they'

[@Xenolithial]

As a native English speaker - you're exactly right.

[@maryapple7108]

I'm training to teach English as a second language right now. I swear hands down I will never teach my future students this meaningless drivel!

"They're on first." "But only one can be on first." "Exactly! That's why they're the only one's on first." "Who's on first?" "No, that's second base. Taash is on first." "But you said THEY'RE on first..." "Exactly!" "AAAGGGHHHRRRRR!"

[@GamingProspector84]

It’s an abortion of the English language and its structure. No surprise the people that use the woke language are nuttier than squirrel turds 🐿️💩 Being non-binary doesn’t exist; saying you’re “non-binary” actually creates a new dichotomy of binary and non-binary, thus a binary is recreated all over again.

[@MasterJezzy]

Guys I hate Taaash as much as you do, but they/them is used in English pretty often when refering to just one person. Even before non-binary people started to use them as their pronouns. Like when there's a figure in the dark and you don't know the gender, you could say "who are they? let's go after them" even if it's just one person. English is my second language as well and I know I still have a lot to learn, but come one people, these are basics! They/them doesn't always mean multiple people.

[@pageachatter229]

Whoever wrote Taash was clearly more concerned about airing out their dirty laundry than writing an actual character.

[@yihadistxdl951]

That "really good" *growls* -part is insanely disturbing and rapey. i have no idea why they wrote that into the game. imagine if youre a woman and if a man came up to you "you smell good.

The fact that my character, who is trying to romance Emmerich, has no real way to intervene on his behalf is unacceptable.

Some dialogue comparisons between Origins, DA2, Veilguard, and BG3: COOKIES: Origins: *Warden:* [As a Grey Warden, I demand to be brought to the tower.] *Caroll:* You're a Grey Warden are you? Prove it. *Warden:* [I don't have to prove anything to you.] *Caroll:* So I'm not good enough for you? Fine. See if you get into the tower on your own then. *Warden:* [Can't we work something out?] *Caroll:* Hmm... I don't know. Y'know, I am feeling a little peckish, though. *Warden:* [You want me to feed you?] *Sten:* Parshaara! Here! Munch on these if you like. *Caroll:* Oooh, cookies! *Sten:* I am content to part with them if it saves us from this fool. *Warden:* [Where'd you get those?] *Sten:* There was a child--a fat slovenly thing in the last village we passed. I relieved him of these confections, he didn't need more. *Warden:* [You stole cookies from a child?] *Sten:* For his own good. Veilguard: *Taash:* Here you go. Shathann said to eat the fruit before it spoils *Karash:* I like the cookies better. *Taash:* Everyone likes the cookies better. *Karash:* I'll eat the fruit. Thank you Evataash. *Taash:* Panahedan. I'll see you soon. ---- CONFESSIONS: Veilguard: *Taash:* So I'm non-binary. *Shathann:* what does that mean? *Taash:* It means I don't feel like a man or a woman. *Shathann:* If you are neither a man nor a woman... Than what _are_ you? *Taash:* Non-binary. I just said. And I'm going to use "they" instead of "she" from now on. *Shathann:* If this is because I have criticized your dress or your manners-- *Taash:* It isn't! *Shathann:* Under the Qun the term for one whose gender does not match the one given to them at birth is "aqun-athlok." Perhaps you are like that? *Taash:* why do you have to keep picking at it? Why can't you just be happy for me?! BG3: *Astarion:* You know, I've been thinking. And I think there's something I should tell you. *Astarion:* Nothing big or terrible, just a small, little detail about me that hasn't come up naturally. *Astarion:* It's just that I happen to be a - what's the best way to put this? *Astarion:* A vampire? (Nervous laugh) *Tav:* [Yes. _Obviously.]_ *Astarion:* ...Right. Well. Glad we got that out of the way. *Astarion:* So... was there anything else? Origins: *Alistair:* Look, can we talk for a moment? I need to tell you something I, ah, should probably have told you earlier. *Warden:* [I'm not going to like this, am I?] *Alistair:* I... Don't know. I've never liked it, that's for sure. *Alistair:* I told you before how Arl Eamon raised me, right? That my mother was a serving girl at the castle and he took me in? *Alistair:* The reason he did that was because... well, because my father was King Maric. Which made Cailan my... half-brother, I suppose. *Warden:* [So.... you're not just a bastard but a _royal_ bastard?] *Alistair:* ha.. yes, I guess it does at that. *Alistair:* Everyone who knew either resented me for it or they coddled me... even Duncan kept me out of the fighting because of it. I didn't want you to know, as long as possible. I'm sorry. *Warden:* [You still should have told me.] *Alistair:* You're right, I should have. It's brought me nothing but problems to be honest. *Alistair:* At any rate, that's it! That's what I had to tell you. I thought you should know about it. *Warden:* [Are you sure you're not hiding anything else?] *Alistair:* Besides my unholy love of fine cheeses and a minor obsession with my hair? No, that's it. Just the prince thing. *Alistair:* So there you have it. Now can we move on, and I'll just pretend you still think I'm some... nobody who was too lucky to die with the rest of the Grey Wardens. *Warden:* [As you command.. my prince.] ---- SCENTS AND SENSIBILITIES: Veilguard: *Rook:* [Taash likes you.] *Harding:* Rook! *Rook:* [What? It's true! Ask them.] *Taash:* You're really nice. And.. um..you smell good. *Harding:* oh! Thank you? *Taash:* _Really_ good! (wheezy gurgle of attraction) *Rook:* [Please get there faster Harding...] BG3: *Gale:* She was always telling me I need to spread my wings. Find mortal friends instead of hanging onto Mystra's coattails. So that's what I'm doing. I hope. *Tav:* [Bad luck on that front. I'm actually a nymph in disguise.] *Gale:* Very funny. But as we all know nymphs are sticklers when it comes to their bathing routines. _You,_ my friend, haven't been near a fresh spring in a tenday or more. *Gale:* Not that I don't appreciate your natural... Musk? I actually rather like it. *Tav:* *Gale:* Well this seems a good a time as any for me to stop babbling on! Dragon Age 2: *Aveline:* (Sighs) All right, I can fix this. I need... I need three goats and a sheaf of wheat. You'll take them to his mother. *Hawke:* ?? *Aveline:* It's a dowry tradition. Maybe it will smooth the process. *Fenris:* A dowry? Then... this isn't about accusations. *Aveline:* No, it's not. *Fenris:* .....She's courting the man. With a fear reserved for dragons. *Donnic:* Would someone please tell me what's going on? *Fenris:* She wants you. It is pathetic... and admirable. *Donnic:* Captain? *Aveline:* (embarrassed laugh) ---- ROMANCE: Veilguard: *Taash:* are you trying to have sex with me? *Rook:* [Wow.. in my daydreams this is where you'd.. lean over me and slap the wall.] *Taash:* (Slaps wall) Quick. Think about us having sex. Origins: *Morrigan:* You seem so deep in thought, my dear Sten. Thinking of me, perhaps? The two of us, together at last? *Sten:* Yes. *Morrigan:* I... what did you say? *Sten:* You will need armor, I think. And a helmet. And something to bite down on. How strong are human teeth? *Morrigan:* How strong are my teeth? *Sten:* Qunari teeth can bite through leather, wood, even metal given time. Which reminds me, I may try to nuzzle. *Morrigan:* Nuzzle? *Sten:* If that happens, you'll need an iron pry bar. Heat it in a fire, first, or it may not get my attention. *Morrigan:* Perhaps it would be better if we did not proceed. *Sten:* Are you certain? If it will satisfy your curiosity... *Morrigan:* Yes. Yes, I think it is best. DA2: *Fenris:* I shouldn’t trouble you with this. My problems are not yours. *Hawke:* [I might be able to help with your problems or give you a few more] *Fenris:* Only a few? *Hawke:* [The good kind.] *Fenris:* Tempting. [You're a beautiful woman] / [handsome man], Hawke. Is there no one else who has your… attention? *Hawke:* [I enjoy listening to you talk.] *Fenris:* [There are few pleasures greater than speaking with a beautiful woman] / [And I enjoy a man willing to speak his mind.] *Fenris:* I’ve never spoken about what happened to anyone. I’ve never wanted to. Perhaps this is what it means to have a friend. *Hawke:* [It might mean more than that.] *Fenris:* I… have never allowed anyone too close. When my markings were created the pain was… extraordinary. And the memory lingers. [But you are unlike any woman I have ever met.] / [But you are a man unlike any other, Hawke.] *Fenris:* With you it might be different. *Fenris:* I didn’t think I needed anyone, or wanted anyone… until now. *Hawke:* [We could find out.] *Fenris:* On another evening, perhaps. BG3: *Karlach:* Hello you. I've been waiting for this all night. Isn't it mad? How good life is? *Tav:* [I know what you mean. When I look at you it's all I can think about.] *Karlach:* Thank the gods. I was afraid I was the only one. Ten years is a long time to be trapped in the hells. Ten years without a kind word. A touch. When I look at you I feel real again. Alive. Gods, I want to ride you until you see stars. *Karlach:* Ugh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't tease you. Or myself. I'd give anything to touch you. But I can't. Not until I can be sure I won't burn you. *Tav:* [I know some magic that might help me handle your fire. Let me see...] *Karlach:* Sleep on it, maybe. If you've thought of something by morning I'd love to know. For now it's enough just to know you care enough to try. SORRY: Veilguard: *Isabela:* Sometime people say "Oops sorry" and hope that fixes it, but they just want to get the whole thing over with. Trust me I know, but pulling a Bharv you sweat a little. Make you think about it a little more shows the other person you mean it. *Bellara:* What if they mean it when they say they're sorry though? *Isabela:* And that's the other reason some people mess up and get all dramatic. They make it about them. "Oh you know I didn't mean it right? I'd never do that on purpose." They feel so bad about it that it's on everyone else to smooth it over and make it them feel better. *Bellara:* Oh, oh, okay yes some people might do that. Origins: *Alistair:* So you... mentioned you had a son? What happened to him? *Wynne:* I honestly don't know, Alistair. He was... taken from me. Such births are seldom, as there are ways to prevent it, but it does happen. And any child born to a Circle mage belongs to the Chantry. *Alistair:* I... didn't know. I'm sorry. *Wynne:* It's all right. It was a long time ago. A very long time ago. *Alistair:* Couldn't you do something about it? *Wynne:* Do what? I was weak from the birthing process and there were... no, there was nothing I could do. *Alistair:* Do you think about him? *Wynne:* All the time. Edited for formatting And to fix Fenris' gender specific portions. Dialogue in [Brackets] is because the dialogue is either selected/prompted by the player character, _or_ dependant on the player character's gender in Fenris' case. Added SORRY

[@craiglee3048]

I think the main problem I had with Taash was that they could have done all the stuff they did with her but in a way that would have matched the setting but instead they force it all into the storyline with modern language and thought processes. I just think that in an actual dark fantasy setting/Thedas no one would even have the word “non-binary” yet, because it would have no relevance to any culture as of that time. Sure, they have math but binary is more of a computer age type word and I don’t believe a fantasy culture would have it in use. Inquisition handled things like this WAY better. They introduced how homosexuality might be seen in fantasy and they even had a trans person with an explanation that was entirely plausible. Taash on the other hand, every time I have a scene with her(sorry but I’m not using a plural pronoun for a singular entity, and yes I’m aware of exceptions but “they” isn’t one of them) I inevitably get taken out of the game at some point because modern slang and ideology gets thrown into the dialogue and forces me to be aware I’m playing a video game. I lose immersion, and that’s the whole damn reason I play video games, read books, and watch movies. This comment is too long.

But, if we're being honest here, their entire dialogue outside of that was incredibly cringey, like I was curious, so I attempted the whole romance thing, y'all ever wanna fold within your own body?

@maryapple7108 oh no, you're right. She just approves of flirting with Harding, my B. It's just the Inquisitor who can romance Harding and then apparently ghost her 😅

Do you make Veilguard videos to catch that algorithm wave? If so, is it working for you?

[@joethealternativegamer3935]

So I’ll give ya the full backstory. Back when last of us part 2 came out, I made two videos that did exceptionally well. I grew a bunch because of it. In hindsight I should have made more stuff on it at the time to really ride that wave. Lately, I have been experimenting with doing discussion videos on current topics, then Veilguard hit. And I figure you know what let me try some things. So all of this is me throwing out ideas and seeing what sticks, what does well. While at the same time still making videos for why all of you watch me! So far the Veilguard stuff has been doing well!

[@Holy_Crusad3r]

Taash is one of the worst characters ever to exist in a game. Poorly written, hypocritical, annoying and totally unlikable. Also completely destroys any kind of immersion being this is a dark fantasy/medieval era and they mention pronouns…so stupid. The only redeeming factor is you can get her annihilated in the end multiple ways keeping her quiet forever.

And the defenders say that the identity quest for Taash is only a small part of the game and fully optional, i dont believe it because im a completionist and if i want to see the bullshit secret ending, i need to do this piece of shit's quest to get a tag before the final mission that ensures she survives blah blah.
