I see, okay fair enough.

I have plenty of worries in regards to her writing and the lack of nuances surrounding it, but if the character serves a purpose/has a great dynamic with the rest of the cast/insert whatever reasons people find them likeable, then I don't really have problem with it either.

@CrySpy at least based on my playthrough Senna, I can still enjoy my time with it with Taash, I never choose to flirt with Taash nor approve everything Taash want to do, I always ask Taash to focus and get the job done(straight forward dialogue with knight symbol) on the scene when Taash wants to my Rook to "nyosor" on wall it doesnt happen lol, though that scene alone get bashing from i've seen in youtube chuds grifter. I mean, they're asking for it, don't flirt. easy like that. Also previously Taash only talks about dragon and how to kill it, though it have a neglect a bit with lore about dragon which already in there(Rivain) for centuries, I mean high dragon just return to Thedas on Dragon Age after Blessed Age

Yeahh, that's why I brought up the three traumatized young adult characters we both know. I get that people deal with their pain in a whole set of different ways, and some can be quite abrasive (such as the two girls I previously mentioned).

But their hard shell was just a protective mechanism. They have layers beneath of all that gruff, that (slowly) peels away and reveal their true, best self, and that what makes them so memorable even till today, tens of years later.

Maybee I have to discover it myself, but I have yet to see a positive character analysis of this person. And if the main intent was to build up a lovable character that was so relatable we couldn't help but sympathize with them, well, this isn't working

Senna, what if I told you that Taash and Ben are kind of in the same age group when comparing human and Qunari ages? Taash is the one who has just reached an age above that of a teenager. I have no idea why the writer chose to approach problems in that way, especially since the writer has a lot of experience. You know Mordin, the very salarian who expert at tautology and studies xenoscience? That's the same writer, pa Trick Weekes. Even Weekes has created Solas, who can make the girl 'klepek-klepek' for their tragic love, solavellanhell. Still, at least I understand why Ben acts like that, he's just Ben and has anxiety because the world he knew is gone, and he's struggling to adapt to the new one, unlike Clementine, who's maybe still 7. She can adapt quickly.
So I assume that Taash just suffering from poor editoring, still my imho tho.

Maybe instead of the charming misgendering pushups and went batsh8 to her mom they can instead write her like Jack or Chloe or something?

I think these two have similar patterns when it comes to their inner struggles (in one way or another), but instead of getting all preachy at us for 'misunderstanding' her they can show it to us instead why they feel that way maybe?

Buuut, rant aside, I'm kinda glad you still able to pick up the good pieces. Maybee one day I'll give it a go

Ughh, I hope people will eventually appreciate the game for what it is and not getting carried away by political biases and sh8 so that we can have a nice little discussion and critique about it...

But yeahh, Sociolinguistics can be kinda.. something sometimes.
I remember things like addressing someone as 'mademoiselle' can both be endearing and offensive depending on the context/person so... yeah

I guess that leads to my next point. People may like/dislike certain characters for multitude of reasons, but I think maybee they can write her character growth to be less...preachy?
I get it when characters are supposed to be a dumdum, like Ben from TWD1 and I was hella gemes for his remarkable ineptitude, but that was on brand

Ben was written to be clumsy. This right here is clumsy writing

I didnt realize that I wrote Taash as she, ah well like "dia" in my language were not neutral as well wkwk, i didnt get why my fellow countrymen were very upset about pronounce things like the west. TBH Bioware make a good job for Davrin questline, they're retconned old lore from novelty Last Flight about Isseya. Emmrich is interesting too, where in here Lich and Necromancy is not a evil things like most common fantasy game. Neve is abit disturbing with red theme and blood magic, I think only Taash questline are poor in here. Credits still need to given where due, decent game I think if you're just ignored Taash

@V: Oooh interesting! Guess it's worth its weight for platinums then

I'm getting Mass Effect 2 vibes here, from what you've described at least. A straightforward main plot with alooooot of (pretty much) essential secondary quests, a 'the journey makes the destination' kinda thing.

But yeahh, I've seen the clips of that scene you mentioned and I can't lie it's hella rough. I think there has to be more graceful/less jarring ways of delivering her personal struggles, but oh well.

I can think of quite a handful of ME Trilogy subplots/character backstories with the same/similar silver lining to it but with more refined delivery (and actually contributes to the main plot as a whole)
I guess BioWare oughta get their old writers back

At least you got your money's worth with the gameplay and the scenics for virtual photography

@rukawanda true and I only tried platinum-eid with game I'd most liked or atleast enjoyable for me, well except for DJMAX. You need something like money and skill-check
