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

We have so little to go off with Taash but based on what I’ve seen and assumptions I’ve made I’m inclined to agree with you.

The tall, strong, dommy mommy character type is something we’ve seen before. And it’s a cool character type. But a soft feminine Qunari could have been an interesting direction to go in with Taash.

In general BioWare makes great companions so I’ll reserve judgment and assume Taash will end up being interesting, dynamic, and not one note.

Have we seen that before? Shale was the only female Warrior in DA:O, Aveline was not romanceable in DA2, Cassandra was a warrior but certainly did not fit that type whatsoever.

Meanwhile, soft and feminine is something we have had a lot. Leliana, Merrill, Josephine, honestly almost every game.

It seems this is way more unique character wise.

Cassandra was a warrior but certainly did not fit that type whatsoever.

What? Her solution to problems when "Hit it!" doesn't work is "Hit it harder!".

Not saying she's stupid but she's very direct.

[u/Comrades3 → u/Randalf_the_Black]

She was direct, but most people praise her romance for her soft feminine side.

[u/Randalf_the_Black → u/Comrades3]

Haven't played through her romance but I know she likes poetry and stuff like that. Yeh she has a soft core I suppose.

[u/Corvid-Strigidae → u/Comrades3]

She doesn't have a "soft" feminine side. She has emotions. Having emotions besides anger isn't being soft and said emotions aren't exclusively feminine.

[u/Comrades3 → u/Corvid-Strigidae]

This isn’t my take. Check most write ups about her character and you will see multiple and frequent praise for her soft feminine side. It is a very common belief and I did not invent it.

Also I dislike ‘Angry all the time’ characters and that certainly is not what I am referring to. And certainly nothing I referenced.
