Just had a thought: Dorian's line about the 10 silk scarves should have started a collection sidequest where you find and turn in scarves to Dorian. However, as a slight prank on the player, it should only be possible to find 9. (If all 9 are found, then the quest would auto-complete once you were back at Skyhold, perhaps with humorous dialogue from Dorian).
Rewatching this years later I realized that the Seventh Member of the Counsel of Heralds that Vivienne says is "indisposed" is Duke Bastien, her lover who we find out is dying during her personal quest
Lavellan: *BULLSHIT METER GOES OFF* Hold up- Solas: Let's hurry and find the assassins. Lavellan: Wait a minute- Solas: Time is of the essence. Lavellan: Something's not right here. Solas:......care for a dance? *Lavellan's memory failed to save; please dance with your future hubby*
Ive seen people talk about how they hated this main quest. "Its a pain in the ass" the said. But I absolutely loved this quest. We finally got to see the absurdity that is Orlais that weve only heard from characters and read from codexes. After 3 games of rolling through mud, getting into spider infested caves, suffocating deep roads, we got to see the other extreme of civilization.
"i have seen countless such displays in my journeys in the Fade". [(SPOILER ALERT)] Ohhh did the elven gods throw such parties in the Beyond? If so, then Solas is as much of a natural in the Game, as Vivienne.
He’s a trickster god. I’d be worried if he couldn’t run circles around any politician, mortal or immortal. That would make the one who could consistently beat him so much more dangerous than anything anyone’s ready for.
11:45 "Is it true that rebel mages in Redcliffe were performing blood rites and orgies before you stopped them?" Was cracking up when I first heard this.
Man the inquisitor sure missed a joke when he said to the Iron Bull "Look at this with the eyes of a ben hassrath" instead of correcting himself to say "well... eye of a ben hassrath"
Sorry for being late. I think you'd love to know that the hat he wears is a fancy version of the Helm of the Drasca, an ancient order of warriors from the Anderfels that rebelled against Orlesian occupation of their lands, he likely chose this because of what Orlais is doing to the Dales. Since Orlesians like to make fashion statements, he made one of his own: I hate all of you here, and those of you who actually know your empire's history and understand this hat can't do anything to me, as I'm part of the Inquisitor's Inner Circle.
@@kingofcarrotflowers5364 Oh good lord that's clever, though after seeing Solas' involvement in the DLC's I'm hardly surprised he did something that subtle to wind up some nobles. Absolutely love the little lore details like this in Bioware's games, makes them so much more enjoyable. Edit: Likewise, sorry for being late.
I found Blackwall’s thoughts on the ball interestingly insightful considering he was always a soldier first and foremost. I was surprised when he said that about Celene. He understands more about politics than his obvious hatred of it suggests.
@@coltonwilliams4153 Wasn’t he like a general who was being hunted down? Probably why he disliked being in the Winter Palace on top of his natural disdain of politics.
Now I'm the first person to admit Cullen is hotter than hell. But there are plenty of characters that are as handsome as he is, but still aren't constantly told in-game. wtf
I dunno, Dorian talks quite frequently about how attractive he is, and Iron Bull is _constantly_ getting hit on by women _and_ men. Random people will also hit on the Inquisitor (male or female) whether or not there is a flirting option for them. Dorian, for example, frequently says "I do rather like watching you leave," which is a very common way of saying "NICE ASS." Several characters also comment on how attractive they find Leliana and Josephine. I think it's just more noticeable with Cullen because he becomes visibly uncomfortable whenever someone hits on him, whereas everyone else either brushes it off or outright revels in it.
Lel and Josie do it to tease him, even those comments about using him as bait at the war table were nothing more than sisterly prodding. As for why others hit on him so much, he’s Commander of the Inquisition troops and former Commander of Kirkwall’s Templars after Meredith’s rampage. He’s also the most agreeable of the Inquisition’s bachelors, as in the Orlesian court would agree with it more than they would the Tevinter magister, the elven apostate, the Free Marcher dwarf, or the qunari mercinary. For all that the ladies of the court seem to find Bull irresistible.😏
To be fair, him and blackwall are the only non-tevinter human men at the party so the options for who people in the winter palace would flirt with are small
I'm surprised the court's approval of you doesn't start lower regardless of race due to everyone showing up wearing the same outfit. I mean, talk about a fashion faux pas amiright?
@@aloydespitethenora Maybe someone should’ve said that to the majordomo (I think that’s the right title) before he introduced Solas as the Inquisitor’s servant.
I noticed in my last run that he looks so short because the Inquisitor stands on the carpet while Cullen stands on the naked floor. It seems that just standing on that carpet is like standing on a step, infact if you get closer to him the heigh difference appears again. My Lavellan was really short in comparison when I got her down that fuckin carpet :°D
Blackwall is a mainstay in my party in all my games, such an excellent tank, he draws all the aggro and all 3 of us mages shoot from afar, the best strategy imo.

Every companion should have been there, I think; perhpas you can explain it by having the ones in your party accompany you and the others are still on watch. Shoulda used the same style as Trespasser every time you leave.
It's absolutely bizarre how Bioware wrote a canonical The Masked Empire book set before Inquisition and then pretends like it never happened in the game itself. In the book The Masked Empire, Celene *burned down the elven slums* in Halamshiral, Gaspard is a racist imperialist who wants to reconquer Ferelden, and Briala is trying to start an elven revolution for the good of her people. Even if you hadn't read the books, all of the companions should have given the player some background information with their thoughts on it. Cullen, a Ferelden man, supports the man who wants to invade his country, Solas says nothing about the brewing elven revolution, and fucking *SERA* of all people compliments Celene! What the actual fuck, Bioware?
Sera’s writing regarding elves is pretty terrible tbh. It doesn’t make sense that a character who’s entire concept is about “helping the little people” would be so hostile to every elf she meets. There’s a big difference between internalized racism and whatever Kristjanson decided to write.
2:56 Did anyone notice that Cole has three glasses next to him I was always cruious about why they were there, did he just find them, did he tried helping a servant, and they just left it there [that could be hardly the case because of the fact that it would be impossible for that to happen], I NEED ANSWERS XD To be hoenst I don't think Cole is the type to drink, or even get drunk.

@@kingofcarrotflowers5364 that's just the same model. Doesn't mean its the exact item. That's like saying that the elgarnan bow is the same as the persevered one because they share the same model...which in turn is the same model as 2 other bows from previous games.
@@Enel97 That model is only used again in the unique helmet that tells what the hat is all about (+schematic), as if the devs are explaining Solas' usage of it while worldbuilding.
Always take Vivienne to the Palace. It doesn't change anything, but come on. She's the best player of the Game in the Inquisition, aside from Lelianna. Not taking her just seems wrong story-wise.
Truth be told I usually took Vivienne, Varric, and maybe Cassandra… If I was the battering ram I would swap her out with maybe Iron Bull. Usually went with a party that would make sense to bring for the location and still fall within roles of an RPG party. Though… I could probably change that up and bring Solas should I play the game again. As I usually did bring Dorian on occasion, and yes I was amused by it.
(Haven't read past the readmore bc that would defeat the point but) Legit, thank you for spoiler warning! Ik it's an old game, but it's nice to have some things still a surprise
I love how Vivienne and Leliana are saying essentially the same thing when it comes to the future of Orlais; stability, and Vivienne in contrast showing very clearly that she thinks holding on to the institution that is there already offers more stability, (not to mention that considering Gaspard's temperament she'd probably dislike him on a personal level), yet I find it, strange, she's progressive in some areas, yet not in others. Suppose she's chosen her battles.
***** He is down stairs. The locked door where you need the halla statues, the fountain you can through coins in theres a halla door that needs five its pretty worthless if you ask me
ShadowFiend93 I know. I found a post on the Bioware Forum and confirmed that I unlocked the exact halla door. Hell, I even have multiple saves with a few of these damn doors unlocked every time so I've seen what's behind each of them. That's why I'm so frustrated. Must've run into a very rare bug. But still, thanks for your help!
sooo... the only companions that fit perfectly are, of all, the mages XD and maybe, kinda Varric everyone else is kinda out of place but the mages are at home in court XD

They should've all been there, whether you had them in your party or not.
If you play on PC, there's a mod on nexus for that. :)
Remon ew no
Agreed.
Right!
I agree. That always pissed me off.
Everyone looks dapper in those suits. Except for Cole, who looks like a kid who was forced to wear it by his parents. Poor spirit
or Solas in that...thing on his head
Give him the armour versipn of it with that metal version of his hat and he looks like a hired blade
He reminds me of a private firstclass after his first battle and did something heroic enough for the general to take him to a huge royal party.
It reminds me of a begining event for a character in a story book.
Cole should have his own game or at least a book
Vivienne looks awful in hers. Hope I can mod her into a rocking gown next playthrough.
Fuck you and your puns

Oh god that would've driven me mad because I couldn't get the last one
Is a side quest in Awakening,
Of course you really wouldn’t see any of the dance (maybe a little tease of it if you romanced him?)
Lol they dont have the brains to make that. It has to be collect the bs shit or something
I find it great that Blackwall is so uncomfortable with all the lies and deception, while Solas revels in it. Two sides of the same coin.
Yet Solas has the gall to call out Blackwall for his deception when he himself engages on it. XD
Rewatching this years later I realized that the Seventh Member of the Counsel of Heralds that Vivienne says is "indisposed" is Duke Bastien, her lover who we find out is dying during her personal quest
He was the leader of the Council of Heralds even. He had deep connections with Gaspard. IIRC, Gaspard was his son-in-law.
"Everuthing will be fine"
*Inquisitor turns*
"Andraste watch over us all"
*NOT* making me feel any better about this, Josie. 😅
Let us pray to ALL the gods. **ahem** Solas.
The Narrator: "It was, in fact, likely not going to be fine"
Proceeds to screw it up LOL
Cole being all overwhelmed by the pricks in the ballroom and retreating to the library to cool off is a mood.
"...and my agents have been happy to refill my glass and report their intel to me."

So I forgot about that thing Solas wears on his head. Shine on you crazy elf. Or rather dont because your wearing a poop hat.

the very idea of bringing Cole or Iron BUll to an Orlesian party amuses me.

And Cole can be Invisible to anyone else
First time playing, I brought Iron Bull
I brought Sera, Cole, and Ironbull

Does anyone else wonder what this dance of Dorian's is that requires 10 silk scarves?
Pikayoshi Barely-clothed Dorian dancing, anyone? That's what I'm thinking, anyways.
;)
There are several examples of real world dances they could be referencing with this. Fair warning before googling - they're almost exclusively 18+.
The traditional tevinter dance of fluttering silk, popular in minrathose, I hear
Obviously he will strip naked barely hiding his bits with one or two scarfs while the others gracefully flow behind him
Go home, Solas, you're drunk... and talking about hunting. Talk about an almost-spoiler!

I love how Vivienne and Leliana are saying essentially the same thing when it comes to the future of Orlais; stability, and Vivienne in contrast showing very clearly that she thinks holding on to the institution that is there already offers more stability, (not to mention that considering Gaspard's temperament she'd probably dislike him on a personal level), yet I find it, strange, she's progressive in some areas, yet not in others. Suppose she's chosen her battles.
...I just reloaded my saves but Varric was still nowhere to be found. WTH's going on?!
you have to unlock the door outside to reach the area with Varric
lewis251100 I know the game pretty well and I've searched through all the areas. 100% sure he's nowhere to be found in the Winter Palace :(
***** He is down stairs. The locked door where you need the halla statues, the fountain you can through coins in theres a halla door that needs five its pretty worthless if you ask me
ShadowFiend93 I know. I found a post on the Bioware Forum and confirmed that I unlocked the exact halla door. Hell, I even have multiple saves with a few of these damn doors unlocked every time so I've seen what's behind each of them. That's why I'm so frustrated. Must've run into a very rare bug.
But still, thanks for your help!
***** Oh shit I thought you did the same I did and didn't open the door and look or something. This is happening on multple play throughs?
God Damn cullen and Dorian look good!
The thumbnail is handsome
I really dislike your default skyhold garbs, this mission just reminded me why I prefer my armor. The outfit really stinks.
There's a lot to say about this part of the game but that stuff they force you to wear is embarrassing, especially on Josephine and Vivienne
8:12 lmaooo
where do you find varric?? ive always searched for him when i bring him but i can never find him
So are the american voices for the inquisitor almost nonexistent in these videos? not that I'm complaining, I'm just curious.
American voices aren't as well done as the britsh one, so people don't typically use them. If that makes sense.
Fun fact: the american male voice is the same person who voiced Zevran.
@@varric wait what?
Hah. That's Cullen for you.
sooo... the only companions that fit perfectly are, of all, the mages XD and maybe, kinda Varric
everyone else is kinda out of place
but the mages are at home in court XD
i am sorry but solas with that damn hat is too much!
Where's Varric?
Behind the halla-opened door in the same place as the fountain of the coins.

Sera is based.
14:42 Solas... what the fuck are you wearing
Aw what the hell, I'm tryna romance Cullen and I didn't get the option to ask him to dance
Maddie B. He has to be romanced by the time your there
What is that disgusting thing Solas is wearing
The hat he wears is a fancy version of the Helm of the Drasca, an ancient order of warriors from the Anderfels that rebelled against Orlesian occupation of their lands, he likely chose this because of what Orlais is doing to the Dales. Since Orlesians like to make fashion statements, he made one of his own: I hate all of you here, and those of you who actually know your empire's history and understand this hat can't do anything to me, as I'm part of the Inquisitor's Inner Circle.
why would someone want to romance eggboy™, he's anything but romantic
ok but that one thingy in haven?? not the fade but when u flirt w him for the first time?? he was real smooth bro
