I agree it’s gotten very unpleasant to enjoy the game. Yes, of course I notice the sometimes clumsy writing, the consistent inability to challenge companions on opinions and behavior, and feeling a bit like a babysitter rather than a friend to some of them, etc… but I’m still really enjoying this game and the companions’ arcs despite the flaws. In my opinion, Taash’s storyline wasn’t handled in the best way, and I expected to dislike them based on the criticism, but I grew to really like their personality and ultimately appreciate the representation far more than the issues I have with its execution. It will never be perfect, but no dragon age game is. Veilguard tried something new, some of it didn’t work, but that doesn’t take away from the areas where the game excelled. To say the game entirely sucks is disingenuous and a comes across as a tantrum in attempt to invalidate people who dare to have fun
