Isabela veilguard: The tome of Koslun? Whatever the hell is that? Pssh... I only loot Qunari swords and give it back to them.
Would've been funnier without the full cringe dialogue. Taash comes out as non-binary and everyone around her just keeps eating.
Everyone and everything attached to bioware turned into selfrighteous jerks. There's nothing left but to ignore the company, its products and its people. Gaider is on a mission to destroy his goodwill and his career, then please have at it.
I stopped watching Act Ma'am after his criticised Az and Defended Starfield. Act is a two-faced shill.
What does it mean? I don't feel like a man or a woman. So what are you? I am non-binary, I just said that. *Ah well, case closed.*
Every Taash compilation I see just makes the character look even worse than the last one. I can't believe she isn't a parody.
Sweet lord are you crazy? Straight white and man all in the same sentence is grounds to bring out the woke mob....and hurt their feelings.......this I got to see lol
i have never seen the full scene, oh my , it`s attrocious, is the whole game like that ?? lool!
The smallest minority is the individual. If you want to make everyone feel seen, you're gonna run in a looooot of "everyone", all different in some way. Perhaps games focusing on a few individual character could be made fleshed out to be their own selves, rather than a performative, stereotyped representation of someone that character isn't, ultimately making them parodic or worse, unlikeable.
11:28 dragon age is literally one of the most 'progressive' fantasy universes of all time, pretty much all of your party characters in Inquisition are LGBT, not to mention female, and oh yea, the rightful leader of Orlais is a lesbian woman, 💀 and oh yea, the Chantry is specifically lead by women due to the tale of Andraste being betrayed by her husband. And OH YEA, like non of the characters care that you're a woman? They comment what race you are because cultural differences are the most prevalent in Thedas, not sexual or gender wise, the only places being LGBT is frowned upon (which even then, is only deemed inappropriate for royal families) are places like Tevinter.
It's made for the developers and their friends in finance. They don't care about the market, theyre not out to make money for their firm. Theyre out to get paid for selling their personal opinions.
About 10 seconds in and i would have already noped tf out. The character roll was your standard DEI bs polished off with the stronk InDePeNdeNt black whamen looking straight out of a Karl Marx novel lol. These people are all insufferable twotwaffles. I love how they forgot their main demographic to appease their masters.
I was also a tom boy. Im still not super femanine. Im an engineer who cant be bothered with pretty hair and makeup. But im definitely a woman. Im a mother of three, grateful to have a great husband and live in the west where im allowed to do whatever im good at, without anyone caring that im a woman. I agree the non binary stuff depends on "men" and "women" existing in separate labelled boxes that do not overlap. Its dumb.
So much of this dialogue is "my face is tired" levels of cringe
Ridiculously good video. I too remember when it was real men wear pink not pink wearers are real thems. I am bi when I was very little I used to want to play with stuffed animals and sometimes where my mom’s necklaces. That never made me a girl
I think you're trolling because no man would play this game, not even for free.
Actually Taash is a teenager. An unlikeable one. I'm actually happy to have unlikeable flawed characters. I like conflict in games. Taash is a realistic representation of many messed up teens having identity issues. Taash is believable as a teen.The PROBLEM, which is UNBELIEVABLE, is the reactions of everyone around her. Nobody tells her that she is being a jerk to her mum. And others are overly supportive and affirming of her behaviour. I dont agree that the whole game is badly written.
"I will be using they from now on." "I dont see another you."
The thing about this stupid video trend: -its taken out of context (which is that the SOLE reason Taash and Rook attend the dinner is to so to speak "deal" with Taash's pretty goddamn terrible mother.) -Its literally this one time that the "they" thing comes up .-----. You all are just pathetic 😂😂
It comes up in the game at least three times, nice try trash, Taash i meant
It doesn't matter even if it were only one time. It's the same reason you don't suddenly have hitler dance around and join for dinner. And then when someone offers him a drink he goes "Sooo.... I actually dont like juice"
It's a mediaeval setting. Non binary is modern term. It's out of place. Of course we're going to take it out of context and have a good laugh at it. I don't why you're trying so hard to defend something that clearly is so busy trying to "spread the message" than actually being a game. You sound like the pathetic one 😂
0:13: 🤨Okay… And why is this important?
They didn't have enough hands on hips in this game. If they added more hands on hips, it would've been a 9/10 game, easily.
"I'm going to use 'they' instead of 'she' from now on" When have you ever referred to yourself as "she" you lying...
Doesn't feel like a man nor woman... But dress as one of them and have gen1t4l like one of them..... Stup1d1ty at its best 😂😂😂😂
2:08 Do you have more details about this? I couldn't find anything on Google.
First of: great video, I largely agree with your points. I'm glad I watched another video of your's before this one and knew you present your opinions in a calm, rational and nuanced way, because otherwise I probably would never have clicked on this video. It is unfortunate but the loudest people I see complaining about "DEI" and "wokeism" or whatever are not nearly as nuanced as you are. To many of them *any* representation of other races or identities is bad, no matter how well written or subtle it is, to them any female character that doesn't look like a super model with double Ds is ugly and a sign of the end times. I know these people do not represent the majority of gamers, same as militant activists that vehemently defend DEI practices, but they poison any rational discussions around these topics.
"id look stupid in a dress" tav can only respond with: "no you wouldnt!" "qunari can wear dresses" "its not about the dress" or "we can stop, if you want." no choice to go "Yeah you'd look really ugly."... awful diolog man... what the f**k did they do with dragon age.
The hate for this character did more to bring people of different identities together than the actual game. I've watched a couple different reviews, and not even trans people like them. That's the most confusing thing to me. You (whoever wrote Taash) piss off and give more ammo to people who already have issues with this. It's ham fisted and badly done. But then you aren't even doing anything good for people like you? Its genuinely confusing.
If someone wants to mod every single character in a game as a black person then why not!? Oh but it also has to work the other way, they can mod a game to have all white characters too.
The whole growling thing during the romance actually makes so much more sense, when you consider Taash as a self-insert. As those actions are very common in the "fantasy" smut targeted at women. Most being powerful werewolf/dragon/vampire man falls for woman, screams mate, they do some adult wrestling, and over the story woman gets over writers latest hangup.
Gosh i miss the old bioware
Laughing half an hour after watching this... wasn't there anybody in BioWare studio stopping this madness?
They were all fired before they could
I'm waiting for mods to remove this scene and fix Taash pronouns. She deserved better!
I can’t think of a more appropriate time to use the term Aqun Athlok than for a transgender person
I’m playing origins for the first time and it’s got me hooked from the start. The difference in writing and direction is night and day. The fact that EA made this Veilguard slop instead of just remastering origins shows it’s not just evil but stupid.
Wow talk about writer self-insert.
sry had to skip the first min lmao
People said these words, actors said these lines. How?
9:45 When that conversation was going on, the first time I saw it I thought Taash was basically slut-shaming Neve. Whoever was writing had no business doing it.
bro who start a conversation with that to and how much want bet in mass effect 5, there going be another companions just like Taash and probably worst to, that this companions going be either tran or non-bianry or whatever the fuck they call it and the fact in the game your rook accept it immediately, you can't argue with her or anything if this was Origin, you could literally change her mindset or kick her out of the group or straight up her straight up and the dev knew most of us would do one of those 3, I would change her mindset by she either a damn he or a she
Or just say "You're a liability, bounce off" and find another dragon hunter that won't get carried by feefees and doesn't require pampering.
@@justaquietpeacefuldance lol true, if was like origin, you probably won't have to need her or you do but you have to change her entire mindset
Honestly in the beginning I thought this was voice over the game. I am really really all for inclusion and everything, but fitting this in a medieval dark fantasy world is like having a barbarian trading bitcoins with a knight.
Ahh, someone finally use the awkward dinner scene in Breaking Bad. Love it
I'm a pretty easy going gamer. I have been playing games since I was 7. Never before Dragon Age The Veilguard I didn't finish a game I wanted to play. After 10 hours I was done. I deleted the game and felt insulted as a fan of the franchise and no, I am not homophobic, transphobic, etc. like some think of the people that disliked the game. It felt like a slap in the face. Seems like nowadays is wrong to want to create an attractive straight female character, wild times. Kudos to you for being able to finish this disgrace of a game and great job on the video :)
The mc have to close the veil to prevent modern ideas seeping through to their timeline
Oh nice, Rik Schaffer’s music in the beginning of the video? I’m staying for the rest for sure.
Taash or Trash? Dude, enough with this stupid trend of shoving contemporary sociopolitical issues into videogames! Time for BioWoke to go down! Speak with your wallets
Maybe this is because I’m close to my mom but I hate the way taash treats the mom. Like shes being so understanding but she just keeps getting treated bad.
I agree. As far as I have seen, she was just trying to understand Taash better - she even uses Qunari words to put it into a more understandable perspective. What she gets instead is immediate backlash because she did not understand it in the very exact way Taash wanted
hot take here but... Dustborn is a step in the right direction tbh, it's a terrible fukn game obviously, but it's an original ip made with a very clear purpose, the messaging and political aspects of it are the game, it's not being injected, badly, into existing beloved ips and ruining that ip in the process... if activists want activism in their games they are free to make they're own, i have a problem with it being pushed onto us by them infecting pre-existing ips i do not have a problem with them making their own games for their own... 'audience'... so yeah let them have their bad games just stop pushing it into ours...
im not binary. my name is Heh and my pronous are She/They
