You know I feel like people have been ragging on the dialogue for Taash a lot but I feel like their attitude toward their mother could be more interesting if it was revealed over time that things were more difficult and complicated than it first appears. Like you initially think they're being kind of petulant and unreasonable but you later realize their mother is more two faced and awful to them behind closed doors or something. The way it is in game kind of feels half baked, like they wanted Taash and Shathaan to both have a valid position and just didn't quite get there.
I think part of the problem is that a lot of people don't realize Taash is automatically on the defensive for a reason. What I took from all their interactions is that it's obvious Taash's mother ONLY left her old life because she knew her child was going to be taken and stuck in the antaam as a berserker. She loved the Qun and loved her life in it but could not stand the thought of what would happen to Taash, so off she went, smuggling her baby out. Taash knows this and paired with how their mother raised them plus their confusion with why they don't feel comfortable identifying as their biological gender, this has largely fed into why Taash has such a MASSIVE insecurity complex. They feel like their mother regrets making such a sacrifice for them, that they aren't good enough to make what she did for them "worth it"
I havn't played this game as it have made me non-buynary, but isn't SHE strictly speaking Tal-Vashot? and can ye think of anything better then handing her over to the qunari for re-education?
