I dont think its even possible to meet Taash before the 5h refund period on Steam, and its absolutely not possible to get to the actual scenes that people are complaining about, given that they happen quite along in the companion storyline.

Its honestly a bit sad to reach a point where people even have to make up having bought and “refunded” the game just to make some kind of point

@MeteorOand

Its perfectly fine to say you didnt want to buy it. Though the fact that you prefer to pretend you did kind of feels like you know to some degree that you are just repeating someone else’s opinions without actual experience to back it up.

So here’s another opinion from someone who finished the game yesterday and honestly doesn’t really care about the controversy either way.

95% of the dialog is fine or good, maybe not the best ever, but still serviceable. There’s honestly some great stuff here and there. And some really bad stuff, curiously a lot of it at the beginning of the game, but its fine after that (except SOME companion interactions like the ones seen in SkillUPs review), which is also not helped by the facial animation/lip sync also seemingly being at its worst in the first couple of hours (not amazing later either, but not as bad)

Almost all of the storyline/dialogue for Taash is related to being/becoming non-binary and its honestly horrendously written. Again, I dont even care about the topic, the writing for that storyline is just bad, like if someone other than an actual writer is the one that created everything for that character. So many of the quests for her are just dialog scenes too. Its easily my least favorite character arc. Its not like they havent done a “PC” character arc that was actually interesting beyond that particular trait. I quite like Dorian as a companion in Inquisition and his storyline mostly had nothing to do with him being gay.

If you take away her storyline (which you can honestly just skip if you dont want to see it), 99% of the rest of the dialog is typical fantasy stuff.

Combat is quite fun, but they really needed more enemy and encounter variety.

Overall storylines for everyone else and the main arc are pretty usual Dragon Age stuff.

I think there are definitely things that could have made the game much better (into the 90s category) but I still really enjoyed my time with the game and I’d give it a solid 8, maybe a tad higher.

I normally see eye to eye on many things with SkillUp, but this is one that I disagreed a lot. Not on the negatives discussed, because almost all of them are there, but because I feel his review portrays them as being a LOT more prevalent than what they really were for me.

Anyway, stop pretending that you bought games just to try to have a more valid opinion on them… its really dumb and unnecessary
