Having played about 50 hours of Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the course of the past month, I've felt a lingering dread as a queer person, one that's manifested as a familiar thought: Ah, god damnit, this is going to be talked about forever. I will be unable to escape the hot takes, the tweets, the Reddit threads, the discourse about this thing for years.
In case you're unfamiliar, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has options for trans and non-binary Rooks—moreover, one companion, Taash, has an entire storyline dedicated to realising some big revelations about their gender. Spoilers for that to follow.
