Blackwall - "Your fine Cole, even with some of things that come out of your mouth." Cole - "There was once a man with bees coming out his mouth" Blackwall - "That's what I'm talking about..."
"Cole, you should be careful dancing around with those daggers when I'm throwing fire." "It won't hurt me, it's friendly fire." Oh my God, Cole, you slay me!!
Vivienne - "You should not encourage that thing" Cole - "Solas isn't a thing" Solas - "Well said" I lost my shit and laughed uncontrollably. This was funny
ive never used Vivienne within my party (but im always friendly with her) so ive never got this! this is hilarious! cole is so innocent and solas seems quite proud in this moment

It would have been funny if that poke fun at that trope. Iron Bull: Yeah, I noticed. But everyone calls themselves a Dragon of some sort, it's kinda tired honestly. But Bull?

9 interesting companions with great dialogue: *exists* Everyone: Cole: *breathes* Everyone: *holding their cameras up sobbing* "YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE"
Dorian - “Ah, Solas. You startled me. You’re always so nondescript.” Solas - “Speak up. I can’t hear you over your outfit.” Makes me laugh every time 😂
@@shoyohinata3462 Funnily enough I put them all in the same cloth and metal. This line cracked me up especially since they were both in the same exact outfit.
Varric: Alright who's the toughest, Liliana, Josephine, or Cassandra? Cassandra: I'm right here you know! Varric: that doesn't mean it rules you out. Solas: what about Cullen? Varric: who? Curly? They just keep him around because he looks pretty.
Varric is not wrong. Cullen is very pretty. But my bet is between Cassandra and Leliana. Leliana is versed in both politics and combat. Cassandra is likewise, but as a warrior instead of a rogue.
@@Witzke231 Let's not forget Josephine. She is much younger than Leliana and Cassandra but she is also a noble like Cassandra and well versed in the game. She has a lot of potential. She is also the only one who is business-minded. Is it not more impressive to turn an enemy into a friend than it is to kill them? Everyone has a price. I wonder what would've happened if Josie had become the Inquisitor? Corypheus would probably lose both of his generals through well timed dinner parties.
@@kraziiXIII actually Leliana is the toughest of them all. She’s survived quite a lot of events, the most important one being the 5th Blight after the complete and utter disaster at Ostagar instigated by Loghain.
Vivienne warms to him, but she recognizes a very real danger most fans fail to appreciate: Cole can become a demon and kill unceremoniously. She's not only been taught to fear demons and spirits, for they'll tempt and raze, but she has witnessed their destruction and warned others of it. And even SHE warms up to Cole at the end, learning that there's a grey she never appreciated before, even if there's a danger companionship can't remove.
Someone straight up played the dialogue over top of a game they had programmed with every single move. Props to BioWare for not just calling out random moves
Claramata Vivienne is a a very very very stern woman who doesn’t like to show her true emotions(look into some of her banter with Cole Dorian and Cassandra and Blackwall.
Varric: "Look seeker, if you love a character you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer... Maybe throw in an heroic death" Varric: "I like the stories where the villain was the man beside you the whole time. The best villains don't see themselves as evil. They're fighting for a good cause and willing to get their hands dirty" Solas: "we all have a face we want to show and a face we do not." UGH BIOWARE. I HATE YOU.
If only the game hadn’t been so buggy when it was first released, I once broke through the world barrier in the redcliffe map and got to areas you don’t normally have access to without cheats or mods, it was awesome but I do wish it wasn’t so glitchy like it is
*44:49**-**45:00* Vivienne: My dear Dorian, what did you think of little Sera's last Red Jenney mission? Dorain: I call it medium. Vivienne: Medium, my dear..? Dorian: Yes! It wasn't rare and it certainly wasn't well done. LMAO!!! 😂🤣
Waldorf: What was that? Statler: It's called the medium sketch. Waldorf: The medium sketch? Statler: Yeah, it wasn't rare, and it certainly wasn't well done. Both: DOHOHOHOHOHO!
On my very first playthrough of DAI, I ended up putting him in my party for a while alongside Dorian and The Iron Bull. Once Bull and Cole started bonding despite Bull's clear discomfort with anything spirited or demon-y, I was sold. Cole is my boy. I will fight for him.
“Tell me Cole, did you sense anything in Erimond? Any secret pain?” “No. Erimond was an arsehole.” That’s right my son. No redemption story for a mustache twirling bad guy
@@B-rex395 agreed, but if you do it, and you sided with the mages, well they don't remain so loyal judging by war table missions. Best just lop his head off, even if its giving him what he wants.
I just played through the game with only Varric Solas and Cassandra. I wanted to hear what the rest would sound like and my god it's all gold as when I listened to Varric's sarcasm and wit or Solas's introspective.
I'm glad there are more video game developers that remember that your party members are people who can form their own opinions about the world around them. If you'd like a recommendation on another series with party banter, you should try the Tales of series. Their version of banter takes the form of these "skits" that play conversations while using animated portraits. Tales of Vesperia has hundreds of them!
Actually do you need a hat i can help you with that(then proceeds to fix his life and show him that his father did truly love him(not cole the person he is helping)
When Cole explains the Joke to Sera he says "Cullen explains it better". Does that mean Cullen regularly explains things to Cole? Just jokes or other things too? Either way, the mental image is incredibly cute
+imAChristian I mean his character is amazing but stats wise he sucks since he can't use crafted bows and the Artficier tree is the weakest of the three rogue specializations.
viviene: you lack proper magical training solas: no im only an elven god born in a civilasation where everything was done with magic ruled by mages strong enough to be considered gods whom i lead a rebellion against and whose civilisation i shattered leading to the the creation of the fade and the moxern world vivienne: yeah but u didnt learn how to do it in the circle
I love everything about Cole and I am flabbergasted with how much full of soul his dialogues are, and with his beautiful voice acting. They genuinely gave a body, a face and a voice and made Compassion, a concept, into a living being. This talent IS Bioware. It kills me to see how everything EA touches ends up rotting away, but I hope Bioware finds itself again.
I read somewhere Cole was written based on how a person in the autism spectrum would act. Or something like that. It makes sense, though! But yes, I think he is one of the best, if not THE best, written character in Inquisition. I love him 😍
@@PlanetLovingMom That makes sense. I'm an Aspie myself and nothing like Cole, but some people with proper autism can get like this (Joe from The A Word is a great fictional example).
Cole talking about the Tamassran's thoughts when Bull leaves the Qun are really eye opening. She was happy he escaped. There's waaay more dissent in Par Vollen than the Qunari let on.
@@lewismartin3430 Likewise. I always meta-view it a my characters don't trust the Qunari as is, and getting Bull to side more with his new home, and the Chargers as his family, is the better way.
@@lewismartin3430 Spoilers I did once, was awful. I regretted it once he busted in. Was not worth anything. I cried for a solid 20 minutes...romancing him was the worst idea too,
Blackwall: “They say your family nearly drove the dragons into extinction. Shame, that. Majestic beasts.” Cassandra: “Majestic? Say that after you see a pile of dragon sh*t bigger than your house.”
Yeah. Often missed fantasy stuff, how big is x creatures shit. How scary would that be? Imagine being a farmer and walking out to your field, only to look up and see a black figure in the sky flying by and then seconds later a pile of shit the size of your house lands on you like bird shit.
+Loveunit go to the journal entries > finished quests and make sure you go through all of the entries, don't leave anything unread (= the ones left with a golden mark). That should trigger the banter again. :)
***** Been doing that constantly, I do get banter, but it's not as often as it used to be in the previous games. It triggers quite often in the beginning, when it was only Solas, Varric and Cassandra as party members, but after Val Royeaux it began to feel rare.
Iron Bull: “Sera, I had a thought. The next time we run into a line of enemies, I’ll pick you up and throw you. Sera: “Get off.” Bull: “No, this could work. I loft you over the front ranks, you land behind them to flank- mayhem ensues.” Sera: “I can’t fly, you daft tit!” Bull: “Think of the mayhem, Sera. MAYHEM!”
I could listen to Cole all day - His banter with almost every other character fleshes them out so subtly. Special tip of Cole's hat to Solas/Cole, Vivienne/Cole, Dorian/Cole, Blackwall/Cole. Especially making Dorian cry at 2:00
Dorian-Cole is absolutely amazing! In fact, all of Dorian's banter is wonderful, his VA is so masterful. I LOVE Solas/Dorian, how they geek out over the Fade together, lol.
I like it when he makes references on different series when you go to talk to him in the tavern. "He teaches them to fight with a secret flaw, part of a glorious strategy."-Jade Empire "He was their enemy the whole time, but she made him forget, so he could change."-Knights of the Old Republic "There is no other man. He becomes the other man to do the things he can't."-Fight Club "He didn't kill his father. He was his father."-Star Wars "He was dead the whole time, he didn't know."-The Sixth Sense "They don't know, but it's made of people."-Soylent Green
Overlord0011 i loved the soylent green reference, i wasn't expecting it and i think i laughed for an hour. The fight club one didn't click and it should have.
Overlord0011 ""There is no other man. He becomes the other man to do the things he can't."-Fight Club" I always though he was talking about Blackwall there.
NU121493255 Nah, if you listen to the banter, you hear how *SPOILERS!* Cole never considered Blackwall as being Rainier, but as the one that killed Rainier.
+Iluvatar Erú or it shows just how smart they are. While I admit The Witness isn't as grand scale as some claim I think you underestimate Undertale a bit. I might be biased cause I love mediums that break the fourth wall but Undertale was inspired by one of the most respected RPGs of all time, Earthbound. It changed up the combat system to fit the universe and even broke it's own rules to show it's unique side. Hate it all you want but do not say the game is nothing but meme infestation when it is less filled with pop culture references than what inspired it. Not to mention the soundtrack is so damn good. The game had one creator who did the story, drew some characters and wrote all the music with little help. That is dedication and it did it's intended job.
***** First off the word is spelled metaphors not metaphores. If you are going to insult one of the most effective literary devices out there then at least spell it correctly. Secondly learn how to actually make a point cause you jumbled a bunch of crap to try and defend your opinion. Learn the definition of metaphor before insulting it. The word means a comparison without using the words like or as. What you claimed they were spouting as metaphors were in fact memes which if we look through the history of gaming the memes inspired shows the game made an impact. I mean Skyrim revolutionized dragons in combat for RPGs yet we also earned the arrow to the knee meme. So sure the game has a few memes like you're going to have a bad time. Does that detract from the game? No. What I'd love to know is why you think the fact the community has in jokes makes it a bad game. Portal has the cake is a lie and yet that game is hard for a lot of people who don't do great with puzzles but also provides witty NPC banter. So Toby Fox is the devil for making a good game that is fun to a lot of people? Wow I thought the point of games was to make you enjoy yourself and on occasion think. Undertale and Portal both display this. Portal makes you think outside the box to solve problems while Undertale makes you question RPG logic where most RPGs always have you killing the enemies to get better. Undertale makes you think about why we have that system and goes against the mold by giving you alternatives. It took a genre and gave it a concept that will affect the rest of that genre for years to come. If anything Toby Fox did he made people think. And that is what a good game should do. Make the gamer think about a concept or idea. Sorry but dude you need to learn about what makes a good game. Have your opinion but don't defend it so poorly and stay on point when you do try.
***** I love how you assume that I think memes are culturally enriching when I never implied that at all. I said they came out of games people consider groundbreaking. While Undertale was not the first to do what it did it brought the genre back to the playing field. People do enjoy games like it, Earthbound or Mother 3. Please ask any gamer with any cred within JRPG or western RPG realms and tell me they have not played Earthbound or at least know of it's historical significance in gaming. Toby Fox made a spiritual successor of sorts with a rather compelling story to it. When a game makes you feel like a total asshole for killing anything within it(minus Flowey cause hey he's a dick and everyone knows it) you know you did a good job.Oh yes because you are such a cultured snob to think anything not made before 2000 was any good. Gonna go cry about how today's gamers are all generalized as idiots? Sorry but dude I've been gaming since the 90's and I know a thing or two about what is good and what isn't. Also Skyrim's dragons though rather easy to fight as you leveled(except maybe the DLC dragon types for awhile) were revolutionary into making the ones in later RPGs what they are today. Sure it wasn't perfect but it stepped up the bar for the creature being an enemy on screen. Please actually give me real reasons as to why today's gamers are stupid because you haven't once proven that point or given me any real reason that games like Undertale are bad. I can accept hate for a game I love but will never understand blind rage over something without even bothering to try and realize why people like it. There are reasons Skyrim has lasted and is still having mods made for additional content and fun skins for things done all the time. Good games last while others fade away. But by all means explain yourself. Bet you are just another fake hipster gamer who doesn't know a thing about the history of video games.
Cole: "But you hate demons." Iron Bull: "Listen, Cole; you might be a weird, squirrely kid, but you're MY weird, squirrely kid." I'm beginning to believe that what Jason Nakao said was not only spot-on, but reflects almost a Sten-sort of distanced, but lovable, persona-- Ooooooh, right, Qunari! This just got better!
I JUST realized that Cole is talking about Merrill with the "If you don't get some sunshine you'll wilt" thing when Varric asks him how he is. ughhh I love listening to Cole and picking apart everything he says, I swear there are always more little references to find :P
Varric: In that story of yours, the fisherman watching the stars, dying alone.. You thought he gave up, right? Solas: Yes..? Varric: But he went on living! He lost everyone but he still got up every morning, he made a life. Even if it was alone. That's the world; everything you build it tears down, everything you got it takes, and it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets. Varric... That's awesome. He literally is one of the best characters in gaming. For all the knowledge Solas has, Varric is the true legend here. To some, he may seem simple. But honestly, that is one of the reasons why he is such a deep character. He understands life, and thus doesn't require so much complexion. I shall love him forever!
TRESPASSER SPOILERS: Given that the story is more or less about Solas himself (as he lost "his family and tribe" when he destroyed the "elven world" by creating the fade), Varric's comment becomes interesting. Solas, as revealed by the Fade mission, fears dying alone. For him not to try and restore the fade as it once was by tearing the Veil apart as he plans to do in trespasser is to give up and die. But as "intellectual" as Solas is, Varric is the one with the actual wisdom; nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change. But Solas will keep clinging to the past, and it will likely be his undoing.
Crazy that BioWare wrote, programmed, and coordinated the voice acting for 5 1/2 hours of banter that you’ll likely miss the majority of. The banter and its companions are easily the best part of the game. Props, BioWare. This video made me love the game so much more

I love Cole and adore Dorian. Toghether they're fantastic.
Sera - "You can make magic anywhere Solas, ever piss it by accident?"
Solas - "No, wait... No"
Sera: What? How do you not remember something like that?
Solas: We were all young once.
Hahaha sola trying time remember that one time in Arlathan where he drank wine for the first time and trying to see if he did piss magic ahh
He's such a troll to sera.
"Please speak up, I can't hear you over your outfit." That line gets me every time XD Solas is so snarky for a 'grim and fatalistic' character
Varric call him "Chuckles" for a reason
Indeed he is snarky. I also love how he laughs when Cole points out that Iron Bull and the Inquisitor did "it" on the wartable once
What banter was that?
Kefalion or how he makes a joke about the rift tying them up before swallowing them up. He's so great
Kefalion omg when did he say that??
Dorian - “Ah, Solas. You startled me. You’re always so nondescript.”
Solas - “Speak up. I can’t hear you over your outfit.”

“Hush. Just stand and look pretty” to Cullen
@@terra_the_nightingale135 oh I forgot about that one! Thankyou!
Varric is not wrong. Cullen is very pretty. But my bet is between Cassandra and Leliana. Leliana is versed in both politics and combat. Cassandra is likewise, but as a warrior instead of a rogue.
@@Witzke231 Let's not forget Josephine. She is much younger than Leliana and Cassandra but she is also a noble like Cassandra and well versed in the game. She has a lot of potential. She is also the only one who is business-minded.
Is it not more impressive to turn an enemy into a friend than it is to kill them? Everyone has a price. I wonder what would've happened if Josie had become the Inquisitor? Corypheus would probably lose both of his generals through well timed dinner parties.
@@kraziiXIII actually Leliana is the toughest of them all. She’s survived quite a lot of events, the most important one being the 5th Blight after the complete and utter disaster at Ostagar instigated by Loghain.

Vivienne warms to him, but she recognizes a very real danger most fans fail to appreciate: Cole can become a demon and kill unceremoniously. She's not only been taught to fear demons and spirits, for they'll tempt and raze, but she has witnessed their destruction and warned others of it.
And even SHE warms up to Cole at the end, learning that there's a grey she never appreciated before, even if there's a danger companionship can't remove.
@@jonasbs86 . She is smart.
"Listen, Cole, you might be a weird, squirrelly kid, but you're my weird, squirrelly kid."

And then Cole tells him how his Tama/nurse/teacher is happy that he got away from the Qunari, such as it was.
How Cole addresses Krem as Him and Bull notices it is also so adorable.

Same here, he's just too cute.
On my very first playthrough of DAI, I ended up putting him in my party for a while alongside Dorian and The Iron Bull. Once Bull and Cole started bonding despite Bull's clear discomfort with anything spirited or demon-y, I was sold. Cole is my boy. I will fight for him.
Varric: "... You're not that interesting a subject."

It was totally worth it
I just played through the game with only Varric Solas and Cassandra. I wanted to hear what the rest would sound like and my god it's all gold as when I listened to Varric's sarcasm and wit or Solas's introspective.
Listened to this probably 10+ times now
It's a fantastic listen. I cant stand the idea of missing a conversation between others. When i found this it was a dream. 5 hrs well spent
when EA backs the fuck off and lets Bioware do there jobs look what we get, goo characters and banter and a great game

I love that Cassandra usually thanks Cole for most of the things he says, I find it so sweet and wholesome
party banter, is the coolest part about BioWare games
agreed, it makes the game feel more alive, and surprisingly increases lore for us Lore Seekers.
I'm glad there are more video game developers that remember that your party members are people who can form their own opinions about the world around them.
If you'd like a recommendation on another series with party banter, you should try the Tales of series. Their version of banter takes the form of these "skits" that play conversations while using animated portraits. Tales of Vesperia has hundreds of them!
Sonic260 Agreed, my first Tales of game I played was Tales of Symphonia. Its such a great game.
“Only anime girls can be cinnamon rolls.”
Cole: Hold my hat. Actually, please give it back.

I love everything about Cole and I am flabbergasted with how much full of soul his dialogues are, and with his beautiful voice acting. They genuinely gave a body, a face and a voice and made Compassion, a concept, into a living being. This talent IS Bioware. It kills me to see how everything EA touches ends up rotting away, but I hope Bioware finds itself again.
I read somewhere Cole was written based on how a person in the autism spectrum would act. Or something like that. It makes sense, though! But yes, I think he is one of the best, if not THE best, written character in Inquisition. I love him 😍

+congokong87 He was referring to what Vivienne thought of Morrigan
+Iluvatar Erú or it shows just how smart they are. While I admit The Witness isn't as grand scale as some claim I think you underestimate Undertale a bit. I might be biased cause I love mediums that break the fourth wall but Undertale was inspired by one of the most respected RPGs of all time, Earthbound. It changed up the combat system to fit the universe and even broke it's own rules to show it's unique side. Hate it all you want but do not say the game is nothing but meme infestation when it is less filled with pop culture references than what inspired it. Not to mention the soundtrack is so damn good. The game had one creator who did the story, drew some characters and wrote all the music with little help. That is dedication and it did it's intended job.
***** First off the word is spelled metaphors not metaphores. If you are going to insult one of the most effective literary devices out there then at least spell it correctly. Secondly learn how to actually make a point cause you jumbled a bunch of crap to try and defend your opinion. Learn the definition of metaphor before insulting it. The word means a comparison without using the words like or as. What you claimed they were spouting as metaphors were in fact memes which if we look through the history of gaming the memes inspired shows the game made an impact. I mean Skyrim revolutionized dragons in combat for RPGs yet we also earned the arrow to the knee meme. So sure the game has a few memes like you're going to have a bad time. Does that detract from the game? No. What I'd love to know is why you think the fact the community has in jokes makes it a bad game. Portal has the cake is a lie and yet that game is hard for a lot of people who don't do great with puzzles but also provides witty NPC banter. So Toby Fox is the devil for making a good game that is fun to a lot of people? Wow I thought the point of games was to make you enjoy yourself and on occasion think. Undertale and Portal both display this. Portal makes you think outside the box to solve problems while Undertale makes you question RPG logic where most RPGs always have you killing the enemies to get better. Undertale makes you think about why we have that system and goes against the mold by giving you alternatives. It took a genre and gave it a concept that will affect the rest of that genre for years to come. If anything Toby Fox did he made people think. And that is what a good game should do. Make the gamer think about a concept or idea. Sorry but dude you need to learn about what makes a good game. Have your opinion but don't defend it so poorly and stay on point when you do try.
***** I love how you assume that I think memes are culturally enriching when I never implied that at all. I said they came out of games people consider groundbreaking. While Undertale was not the first to do what it did it brought the genre back to the playing field. People do enjoy games like it, Earthbound or Mother 3. Please ask any gamer with any cred within JRPG or western RPG realms and tell me they have not played Earthbound or at least know of it's historical significance in gaming. Toby Fox made a spiritual successor of sorts with a rather compelling story to it. When a game makes you feel like a total asshole for killing anything within it(minus Flowey cause hey he's a dick and everyone knows it) you know you did a good job.Oh yes because you are such a cultured snob to think anything not made before 2000 was any good. Gonna go cry about how today's gamers are all generalized as idiots? Sorry but dude I've been gaming since the 90's and I know a thing or two about what is good and what isn't. Also Skyrim's dragons though rather easy to fight as you leveled(except maybe the DLC dragon types for awhile) were revolutionary into making the ones in later RPGs what they are today. Sure it wasn't perfect but it stepped up the bar for the creature being an enemy on screen. Please actually give me real reasons as to why today's gamers are stupid because you haven't once proven that point or given me any real reason that games like Undertale are bad. I can accept hate for a game I love but will never understand blind rage over something without even bothering to try and realize why people like it. There are reasons Skyrim has lasted and is still having mods made for additional content and fun skins for things done all the time. Good games last while others fade away. But by all means explain yourself. Bet you are just another fake hipster gamer who doesn't know a thing about the history of video games.

Wait what time

@@snailinnea thank you
Blackwall: "Hay, Cole! Say something interesting."
Cole: "Something interesting"
Blackwall: "Yes, I deserve that one"
Solas to Vivienne: Enchanter, any Pride Demon you met would just walk away, shaking it's head and laughing uncontrollably.
Ha!
Cole: "But you hate demons."
Iron Bull: "Listen, Cole; you might be a weird, squirrely kid, but you're MY weird, squirrely kid."
I'm beginning to believe that what Jason Nakao said was not only spot-on, but reflects almost a Sten-sort of distanced, but lovable, persona--
Ooooooh, right, Qunari! This just got better!
206Zelda honestly when bull said "but your My weird squirly kid" I started crying
Solas and Vivienne... Masters of passive aggressiveness.
Solas outplays even her.
Sera shouting "Two of you doesn't make this normal!" After Solas and Dorian spent several lines nerding out about magic nearly killed me.
the ignorant elven chav scared of people smarter than her a.k.a everyone
Jesus Christ....
Cole is so amazing with everyone.
He just wants to help.
cole is like a child in many ways.
Says the fucking brony
Of course you idiots wouldn't like Cole.
Jetstream Sam Woah calm down there mate.
He's wonderful !! Love him
Right! If Cole was here in real life I'd be best friends with him. Then again he'd be everyone's best friend.
I JUST realized that Cole is talking about Merrill with the "If you don't get some sunshine you'll wilt" thing when Varric asks him how he is. ughhh I love listening to Cole and picking apart everything he says, I swear there are always more little references to find :P
Bull: "I see all that time alone has given you a firm grip."
BULL!!! HAHAHA
"Hey... don't Top from the Bottom."
Cole: That won’t hurt me. It’s friendly fire!”
Me: Turns off friendly fire to protect best ghost boy.
Cole casually breaking the 4th wall.
Do you knwo the time stamp? Or at least who HES talking yo
@@sagetheperson3295 if I'm not mistaken he was talking to dorian
Varric: In that story of yours, the fisherman watching the stars, dying alone.. You thought he gave up, right?
Solas: Yes..?
Varric: But he went on living! He lost everyone but he still got up every morning, he made a life. Even if it was alone. That's the world; everything you build it tears down, everything you got it takes, and it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets.
Varric... That's awesome. He literally is one of the best characters in gaming. For all the knowledge Solas has, Varric is the true legend here. To some, he may seem simple. But honestly, that is one of the reasons why he is such a deep character. He understands life, and thus doesn't require so much complexion.
I shall love him forever!
TRESPASSER SPOILERS:
Given that the story is more or less about Solas himself (as he lost "his family and tribe" when he destroyed the "elven world" by creating the fade), Varric's comment becomes interesting. Solas, as revealed by the Fade mission, fears dying alone. For him not to try and restore the fade as it once was by tearing the Veil apart as he plans to do in trespasser is to give up and die.
But as "intellectual" as Solas is, Varric is the one with the actual wisdom; nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change. But Solas will keep clinging to the past, and it will likely be his undoing.
ZaZaCobra an eternity of lifetimes doesn’t equate to Varrics thirty odd years
Except that a good portion of the "eternity of lifetimes" was spent asleep. So that doesn't make as much of a difference as you think it does.
Cole is a beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure
+Angel of the Fall I've seen him referred to as a cinnamon roll two times already. Why? Whatever it means, I agree wholeheartedly. X3
+Joshua Giordano hmm swiss roll, belgian swiss roll, covered in icing.
Well he is the literal personification of compassion and kindess
"Is that... good?"
Mossy He’s cute too...
I love how Bull and Solas get annoyed at Sera for stealing their kills.
IT would be funny if the Inquisitor could chip in with "Calm down. It's party EXP, guys."
nitehawk86 Yeah!
Now iron bull knows how I feel when he chains them away from me just about when I kill them
“You keep hurting because you think hurting is who you are, why would you do that?”
The way dorians voice breaks when he asked him to stop 😭
all those sexual innuendos between bull and dorian... LMAO IM DEAD...
I love it! 😁
And Sera's comment about it 🤣
"I'm not sure what's worse, the imagery or the accuracy."
I love that since neither Varric nor Blackwall want to talk about themselves, they start talking about sports. Classic dad behavior.
I love Solas giving Sera instructions on how to be a rebel against the Man...where on earth did he ever learn about that.
+Koda Jolly I wonder...........
+Koda Jolly After finishing the Trespasser DLC, I wish I didn't know.
Solas be like "you're such a scrub Sera. Allow me to teach you the technique of 'getting gud'."
+Ethan Stansmore Solas is a pompous sun bro
Crazy that BioWare wrote, programmed, and coordinated the voice acting for 5 1/2 hours of banter that you’ll likely miss the majority of. The banter and its companions are easily the best part of the game. Props, BioWare. This video made me love the game so much more
