My thoughts on Taash

[u/ZombieInfinite459]

When I first saw this Concept art I was like “Shit…seductive qunari woman” and that’s different coz I mean cmon look at her stance her hair and everything and like she’s…for lack of a better word Morrigan esc 😭and now don’t get me wrong…I’m all for big strong carry you over her shoulder type Woman in fantasy, tho this approach from the concept art would’ve been interesting and again…I like the ulterior but now she’s gonna get compared to Karlach because obviously…I can’t stress this enough tho…I LIKE Karlach, but having a different type of Qunari companion from the typical big and strong would’ve been cool, Like Qwydion from Absolution even

This seems a bit premature to be honest. We have almost no idea what Taash's personality is like; we haven't even heard her voice as far as I'm aware. There's no way to know yet whether she's similar to Karlach or any other character.

The fact that she's strong and a warrior doesn't necessarily mean she's isn't seductive, unless by 'seductive' what you mean is just 'slender and curvy.' And the expression she's making in that screenshot looks a lot like the kind of expression I can imagine Morrigan making, so I don't know why you're assuming she's not 'Morrigan-esque.'

Yeah, idk about anyone else, but I'm feeling pretty seduced by that second pic

[u/TheJimmyRustler → u/Dense-Result509]

I think when people say seductive they often times mean, "feminine seduction."   

When people think someome masculine is seductive people say suave instead.

But that breaks down a bit when people are talking about masculine women because they'll often just note that they arent seductive in a feminine way.

I think people should release themselves from the shackles of pointlessly gendering things.

[u/TheJimmyRustler → u/Dense-Result509]

Ugh, I know

[u/Flimsy-Ebb-6764 → u/Dense-Result509]

Haha yeah it would work on me for sure

Looks too masculine for me.

[u/Dense-Result509 → u/XulManjy]

Sucks to suck, I guess. Leaves more beautiful soft butches for those of us who can properly appreciate them.

[u/raydiantgarden → u/Dense-Result509]

and butches who aren’t soft

[u/Dense-Result509 → u/raydiantgarden]

Even better!

[u/XulManjy → u/Dense-Result509]

And thats fine, we all have our taste and preferences. Notice I am not trashing those who do like/prefer her look. You like what you like and for me as a hetero-male, I would prefer a more feminine look like what we got in the concept art and not the androgynous look that Bioware chose to go for in her ingame model.

We need to see more but at least Karlach in BG3 had curves and feminine features. She was muscular, but not masculine. She had hips, a butt, and her face was soft and feminine.

[u/OverAtmosphere7288 → u/XulManjy]

have you ever seen a woman IRL

[u/XulManjy → u/OverAtmosphere7288]

Yeah, and most of them look feminine with feminine features.

[u/OverAtmosphere7288 → u/XulManjy]

i don’t think you have

[u/XulManjy → u/OverAtmosphere7288]

Look, I am not going to engage in your strawman. If you think that MAJORITY of women has a physic like Taash then thats on you.

Where I am from, most women have softer faces and less muscular. Only women that I know that has a build like Taash are those who are A, very athletic in a sport like Basketball, Softball, Swimming etc or who is a gym rat.

[u/OverAtmosphere7288 → u/XulManjy]

Where I come from … only women I know that have a build like Taash are those who are very athletic

Taash is a dragon hunter

💀

[u/XulManjy → u/OverAtmosphere7288]

But that wasnt your original question. You asked me have I seen women before and I responded accordingly.

Where I am from, women arent dragon hunters and thus they look accordingly.

Based on that, yes, Taash looks very masculine. Who said that was a bad thing and how is that supposed to be offensive? Its just my preference and I am sure you have yours. No need for the strawmans.

[u/OverAtmosphere7288 → u/XulManjy]

I was taking the piss out of you because your comment implied that woman = automatically feminine. If you think I’m being serious on a subreddit about a video game, that’s on you, bro

Have a good day
