Taash was fine. They were portrayed very🦋 much like a young tee🐷nager though when they appeared to be in their 40s which made their story seem strange. It reads very much as a coming of age narrative, but doesn’t work with a character that appears fully grown.

Taash’s inclusion and the absolute wave of far right hate the game got because of the inclusion of a non-binary characte꧑r is defi💞nitely why the game failed. It was review bombed by political activists.

Also, I’m not sure how being non-binary is PC. Given how the establishment and mos✱t people seem to be extremely offended byꦆ the existence of non-binary people, it’s quite the opposite. I can’t think of anything more politically incorrect than being non-binary. It seems to offend everyone.

And sadly, it is the artists who suffer. The company itself doesn’t. They threw the writers and the developers under the bus, and of course angry consumers blame minorities instead o𒐪f the company who r🥂ushed the game like crazy.

@LoreMasterFlex there’s no such thing. A non-straight, non-cis, non-male person being in a video game isn’t “gender polಞitics”. It’s straight up delusion to think that minorities existing in media is political.

I was disappointed to hear that there would be no DLC. I happened to really like Veilguard a lot (although I admit I was new to the 🌄franchise and had no knowledge whatsoever of past games, so can’t speak on whether Veilguard treated pre-established lore well). The hate the game got was absolutely undeserved in my opinion, and 99% of it was bigoted screeching about Taash, and not any criticism of the actual gameplay or writing or story.
