@@pativi6643 On the previous games he had a smaller role. David Gaider was the lead Writer, also a lot of the other writers left including Mike Laidlaw who was the director of the first three games. The new director Corrine Busche is a transgender and apparently wanted to push the agenda a little too much for everyone's tastes.

[@pativi6643]

@ramonserna8089 my point is that Weekes wrote great characters in the past - Solas, Cole, Bull are masterpieces, but in here Weekes also wrote Taash, which is a huge miss. And while Gaider was the lead writer for the main game, Weekes took over for the Tresapsser and the Jaws of Hakkon DLC, which are good - especially Trespasser was excellent. And now they were the lead writer for the Veilguard, which... yea.

Its like they looked at Karlach from Baldurs Gate 3, and wanted to recreate this beloved big, tough barbarian woman in their own game. So they made her blue, and replaced her bubbly, excited energy with immature teenage angst. Then they took the trauma over her decade of enslaved soldierhood and the fear over her impending death sentence and swapped it out for "I dont like wearing dresses wah", and presented these two struggles as being in any way equal.

[@mikaylasmith7600]

Okay, hold up. Taash has a Mother that follows the Qun...but left the Qun. Taash can breathe fire but isn't a Saarebas/a Mage. Is Shathaan bio mom? Because the Qun believes the mother's job is done at birth, or is this some woman who took her away??? Also Iron Bull talked about roles and gender in the Qun and that being why he was so accepting of Krem. This makes no f*cking sense!

[@mer4975]

3:48 I love how this dialogue unintentionally reaches the point so well. "Nobody likes being a woman.", "Why does it feel right?". Oh, I'll tell you why it feels right, it's because of your internalised misogyny and you thinking women aren't as cool as men, because women have to wear dresses and look pretty and men can like swords and dragons. The whole thing about "failing" as a woman is ridiculous, you can't fail as a woman if you are one, because there's no right way to being one, you just either are a woman or aren't. It pains me that so many people right now feel miserable and believe they're failing being their sex because of some stupid belief like this. "I don't like makeup therefore I'm not a woman and the whole world must now change the way they address me.". How is believing that progressive?

[@greendemon905]

Agreed. Taash believes she has to act a certain way, be it as a man or a woman. But that's a restriction she places on herself. There's no definitive way to be a man or a woman. No script to follow. My gender is only a single letter on my ID card, nothing more. No more important to me than my hair color.

[@kclink1579]

But this is a 9/10 masterpiece. You can only be negative to this game if you are a hater or bigot, there is no other option. It's scary that some people actually think that.

I watched a full walkthrough of this game. The action gameplay is good - no argue from me. But the dialogues are written as if the audience is incapable of conversations of a higher degree than ranting, whining, dropping one liners and remarks. No proper or even interesting conversations, depth of character or emotional engagement with the companions. Rooks dialogue options are rather bland as if the player is never meant to have strong opinions and convictions. What if I want to play as ruthless pragmatic, who does earn the respect of my companions, because I put the mission first. Even the resolute options are washed down to an inoffensive slush - easy to swallow. Lets take Taash as an example: What about telling her, that she should stop crying about her gender and the role a female is supposed to fulfill under the Qun. We are about to save the world from corrupt would-be gods! They dont give a shit about her pronouns or her masculine behavior (which I do not mind, if it havent been written so pathetic). WE NEED A BADASS FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON HUNTER, WHO DESTROYS HER ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE HER AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THEIR WOMEN/MEN! Instead...this 😮‍💨
