The fo🍰llowing article contains minor spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard's first two acts, especially about Ta🐬ash's personal quests.

Summary

  • Taash in Dragon Age: The Veilguard has several identity crises.
  • Rook is encouraged to make a decision for Taash that doesn't fit with their character arc.
  • Fans are critical of this part of their questline.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Taash is an interesting case study of how a modern story deals with both gender identity and cultural identity. Taash is a Qunari raised in Rivain by their mother, a historian who was fiercely loyal to the Qun but le🌺ft Par Vollen to prevent her daughter from being forced to join the Antaam (military).

This has left Taash with somewhat of an identity crisis, havin𒆙g grown up around Rivaini culture but with a parent who insisted on educating them in the ways of the Qun. In their personal quests, Rook helps Taash grapple with their identity questions, in both gender (being non-binary) and culture.

Identity Crisis

However, the cultural part of Taash's identity ultimately comes down to a single binary choice that Rook makes during one of Taash's personal quests. You can encourage T🐻aash to embrace the Rivaini part of their culture or the Qunari part. Firstly, it probably shouldn't be Rook making this decision considering Taash's story is about finding their own identity. But also, the choice is weirdly absolute considering you could previously encourage Taash to embrace all asܫpects of their character.

These contradictions haven't gone unnoticed by Dragon Age fans, with user making a Reddit 🌳thread on the topic. They make a very good comparison, saying you wouldn't tell a Korean-Canadian person to embrace their Canadian side at the expense of their Korean side. With multiculturalism, all aspects of their character combine to define who they are as people, and how they navigate potential cultural issues is for them to decide.

The reason for this bafflingly binary choice is that all companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard have Rook encourage them to m🗹ake a crucial decision, and this decides which of two outfits they unlock. For Taash, BioWare had that decision be their cultural identity, even though that contradicts with their overall character arc. It's strange, but you can see why BioWare crafted Taash's narrativ꧋e in this manner.
