Taash's story is even funnier with context. Inquisition retconned her homeland Qun to be hyper-sexually open and full og gays and trans.
So Taash screaming in Veilguard that her homeland is too conservative makes no sense. She's canonically from Gayfuck Transland.

>>717976115 (OP)
Ok? So what, do you want a freaking trophy or something?

>>717983347
Amusingly enough, yes. The conext of the scene is
>girl is from the land of gays and troons
>tells her mom she is "non-binary"
>mother tries to be supportive, nothing wrong with being trans
>she goes insane, trans is so yesterday, she's NON-BINARY which is more special than trans
>rants at her mother
>at the end of the questline her mother dies and apologizes for being a chud
It's super funny because Taash is a biological woman, that likes women. She's just an ordinary lesbian. But that's not special snowflake enough so she adopts a literal made-up gender because the existing genders aren't special enough.

Wokie faggots think they get a clean slate every two weeks but you really don't.

>>717983621
The mother even tries to meet her halfway by using in universe words and language that her people somehow have for this exact scenario and Trash just bitches even louder at her. Were she not a literal author pet, the mother would be absolutely in the right here. That she had to die just before apologizing for her social faux pa is just the crazy ass writer making up a scenario in his head over what he wishes would happen to his parents.

remember THIS, faggot

For people that played Veilguard, this is interesting. Companion quests were meant to be longer and romances a lpt mpre intimate. And the original focus was player x party member, not the final games couple shipping like Neve and Lucanis. The Dalish and the Inquisition played a major part in the plot in the original plan.

>>717976520

Wanna see me rile up the thread?

I'm non binary, so what? You all so mad about it
Lol

"Non binary" doesn't mean anything. It's shit that theater kids came up with on tumblr because they felt guilty over not being trannies.

No one asked.
Then ignore her

>>717985084
a single person thinking Taash was an even remotely tolerable character at any stage in the game's development is the funniest shit I've ever been able to comprehend

>>717987206
Why would you even want to play the game in the first place? There is nothing redeemable about it. I WISH Taash was the only problem. Hell, they could lock her in as a permanent companion and have her quip every 30 seconds, as long as the rest of the game was a good RPG.

>original DA4 plan was to have a game about heists that ended with Solas' ritual failing
>would've been the start of a trilogy with the story we got in Veilguard dragged out over 3 games and Rook as the protagonist of all of them
I unironically think Veilguard is better than this

>>717987581
>would've been the start of a trilogy with the story we got in Veilguard
True that the basic plan was the same but in the concept art you can see Tevinter citizens with their slaves, the Venatori brutally oppressing people, the Shadow Dragons doing actual espionage, the Antivan Crows doing real assassinations for gold, the Dalish willingly blighting themselves to become Darkspawn to honor the Evanuris, the Inquisition making a move in Tevinter which included Vivienne, Cole, Blackwall, Leliana and more.

>>717987031
Which is actually accurate to Taash's character.
>no mom, trans is too common
>i'm non-binary, that's rarer

Non-binaries will always be the funniest thing to me.
It's nutters saying to the gender spectrum retards that there is a hard binary.
I really fucking hope NB was a term snuck in by some shitposter because that would make the whole thing so fucking funny.

>>717987581
Honestly? Same. As much as Veilguard fumbles pacing and tone, at least it commits to one story and tries to finish it. That trilogy plan sounds like a studio hallucination-no way they had the time, budget, or writing team to pull 3 coherent entries from that mess. Better to rip the band-aid off and flub in one game than stretch it over a decade with "To be continue..." cop-outs.

>>717986394
Don't tell me, non-binary (working male body) or non-binary (working female body)

>>717988591
well you just asked not to tell you so

idk figure it out yourself i guess

>>717985314
I think it's millenial writing disease. These fucking faggot talentless hacks don't bother thinking about lore implications or overall narrative structure, it's just make more quippy marvel-like dialog and shove some troons or some kind of minority in there. Don't ask why, just do it.
I hate that it's my fucking generation that's doing it, but it's very true. There's some solid racists coming out of gen z, even if most of gen z has decided to be faggots. The non-fag ones seem decent and less scared of being labelled racist.

>>717992240
>>717992057
Not only that. Everyone can watch that scene on yt or whatever.
The mom tried to understand, compare it to something in their culture.
Best result for the kid.
#1 mom
But what did they made the kid do? Chimp out like some angry teenager.

If it would not be known that these devs intended to make a pro-LGBTQ propaganda game, it could easy be seen as the biggest anti--LGBTQ joke of the decade. Only dustborn being close behind it.

>>717993346
Dustborn looks like it's more fun to play, actually has choices, and is consistently (unintentionally) funny.
God help me for saying this, but it's a better game than Veilguard.

>>717984502
Good. I wouldn't trust Nu-Bioware to put a game of musical chairs together without filling it with bugs or gender bullshit.

>>717976115 (OP)
The whole cast was so shite but Taash was on another level.
Bellara did not get nearly enough hate but who has time for the obnoxious reddit insert when Taash exists?

>>717976115 (OP)
"Sure thing, lady"

>>717993836
The choices in Dustborn don't matter at all

>>717994326
To be fair, I didn't say that they mattered, just that they existed. DA:V has like two, which is fucking nothing. And all your dialogue options are the same line.

>>717993836
Its less shit for sure.

And ppl hate on BG3, some for reasons even, but at least you can not accept or even kill companions in that shit game.

How BioWare's shambling corpse continues to evade the graveyard is beyond me. They haven't made a good game in almost 20 years now. EA gets a lot of shit for the devs they preeemtively killed but consider the alternative. Maybe those killings were a blessing.

>>717976115 (OP)
Why are you so mad? If just seeing a non-binary makes you mad you aren't just don't want politics in game it just means that you are a fascist edgelord. Just let people be who they feel they are. You should try it too. You might just become happy and more tolerant of other people and their chooses.

BioWare forgot to tell us anything about this game besides Tash being in it, and then wonders why nobody bought it.

>>717992057

What's the problem with just being bisexual.
Non-binary is just a made-up thing, you're either a man or a woman regardless of how you feel, better accept it. You can be attracted to the two sexes though, that actually makes sense.

One of the more extensive lambasts of the barva scene
https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2024/10/31/dragon-age-the-veilguards-clumsy-preachy-political-messaging-does-more-harm-than-good/

>In the scene in question, one character misgenders another. To atone for this sin, she does a set of push-ups and then lectures the other characters on how to properly apologize. The term “nonbinary” is thrown around, despite this being a word that very few people had even heard of when Dragon Age: Inquisition came out a decade ago—let alone in a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world.

>This is immersion-breaking. Frankly, it’s written so poorly that it comes across as self-parody. The character’s performative apology is shallow and empty, as all performative apologies are. In my experience, a simple and genuine “sorry” is better than making a big show of it and then bragging about how much better your apology is. The whole scene feels freshly cut from some conversation in an undergrad gender studies class in the year 2024.

>There are better ways to address these issues, but these require a subtle touch and clever writing and character-building, especially since this is a fantasy RPG in a setting far-removed from the modern world. The character in question is a Qunari whose people have very strict gender roles in the lore of the game’s world. How hard would it have been to have them say something about their choice to abandon the restrictions placed upon them by the Qun and then delve into that for a bit, shining a light on the lore of the game rather than the terminology of the real-world?

>That’s sort of how I see BioWare in all of this. They’re making it all about them, all so they can be praised for their progressive bonafides rather than doing the hard work required to tell stories that might actually evoke in players true empathy and understanding. Tapping into that, creating something that people can relate to, requires more than a cudgel.

>>717993346
Because it's obvious written by a overgrown child that never got over the fact that their parents didn't shower them with praise and adoration for being brave enough to announce their fetish.

That is fucking GROSS

>>717996304
Oppression became social currency in these circles and really shitty people know how to grift that system. Being a bit bisexual or even just full-on gay is too normal nowadays, and doesn’t get attention and asspats anymore.

>>717996531
Zoomer here. I have never even heard of Dragon Age before and this thing is the only reference to what the franchise is about.

>>717996907
That's because it always has been about them. Female writers and servile soiboys trying to impress feminists don't give a fuck about "icky" video games. They just want to virtue signal about their morality on social media, and have people tell them how good of a person they are. Preferably also receive social/financial/sexual rewards for doing it too.

Tough question. I'm going to answer this video game bait thread in good faith for whatever reason.

I think I would tell them that I unfortunately am not someone who can affirm their chosen gender identity. I would wish this person no ill will and also possibly begin to wonder how I fell into the going into games machine.

>>717996907
This is crux of most of the problems with this sort of idpol shit. It’s always inserted in the most hamfisted nonsensical way and completely ignores the setting and its rule. Like why in a world of magic and other shit would trannies as we know them exist? Why would they act the same as they do irl and have the same subculture and mentality? It’s always obvious some retard put their own personal agenda shit ahead of the narrative.

>>717985084
It gets even better.
>The woman still clearly loves the Qun, and deeply misses it, she just loves her daughter more.
>She was never taught to be a mother, as the kids are raised communally by priestesses, she had to figure it out on her own.
>For her and her daughter to survive, she adapted to a foreign culture, without the strict and orderly guideship of the Qun, which must have been a bewildering experience.
>Not only was she hated by her own people for leaving, but the Rivani probably didn't take too kindly to her either. A runaway or not, her size and horns marked her as a Qunari, the people they've been warring with.
>She didn't just abandon her religion and way of life, but friends, family, everything she knew and loved for the safety of her daughter.
And what does the ungrateful brat do? Flip a table simply because her mom is confused about what the fuck her kid is even talking about.

Don't have issues with non-binary characters, just think it's lazy that they use modern words to describe them. Mass Effect's Asari are non-binary and they don't use that word to describe themselves. There are other cultures that have their own words for non-binary people that they could take inspiration from.

Good to see. I remember when people were shitting on him for "founding the alt-right" or some other such nonsense on Twitter, glad to hear stupid internet drama didn't keep him down.

I could somewhat tolerate that enbie shit if they actually tried to look androgynous - preferably in an attractive way. 9 times out of 10, it's just a label they slap on to feel special.

I'm non-buynary.

Me, my family, and our extended relatives and friends cut these types of politics weirdos out of our lives a few years ago. They're too toxic and unpleasant to be around anymore. Thus this would never be an issue, so I would avoid interacting with them in the first place.

I always wondered, are niggers good at blowjobs? Those lips imply they are.

What we really need is an unskippable cutscene featuring real life, hour long footage of a vaginoplasty. Now that would be brave, and really show the Chuds.
