@@valerobledo89 Heh, I don't think so. I don't think he approves of meaningless violence. The world didn't become better (or 'better', according to Solas) because he got punched. Besides, he didn't get punched for what he did as a mythical figure, he got punched because the Inquisitor has poor impulse control. Solas would not take that as punishment for his past deeds the same way that he wouldn't take falling off some hill in the Hinterlands while trying to follow the controlled character (and taking damage for his own poor pathfinding ugh :P) as punishment. Some people say he approves because he sees his prejudice once again reinforced, which makes some sense, but imo it's a little too deep for how the approval system otherwise seems to work. (Then again we have that one time when he disapproves of asking a question, and it's if the Inquisitor follows up after he lets it slip that he had been at court before. Approving of curiosity and informing oneself except when it threatens his 'cover' is a bit deep too, so who knows...)
I always wondered why they didn't use the Templar as a police force and just have them stationed in major cities and allow mages to do whatever they want within said cities. So as a mage i could have a family and job and even travel to other cities with other Templar "police" It's far more freedom then a circle but still protective of the people. And all mages would be required to go to a " mage college" where they learn about magic and it's dangers not unlike how a child is required to go to school.
@@junehollybell5977 Probably because The Circle allows for an isolated place for study, keeping the people clear of the potential danger mages present?
*blackwall angrily walks from the inquisition* Me: Blackwall! Wait! *he turns back with an inkling of hope in his somber eyes* Me: I want that armor I crafted for you back
"you had to work bloody hard to piss me off" Like what Sera lol, all you have to do is basically be nice to elves or spirits and you're racking up her hate points.
+Flowereypanda I know, right, I doubt I'm going to get to the point where she actually leaves due to disapproval....but just about *literally* everything I've done has been met with "Sera " :P
+8elementallords The first time i played it I was ok with her since i didnt want to be mean to anyone, but the second time i brought her everywhere and her being stupid made her want to leave
I haven't done that myself, but apparently, romancing Sera is even worse, especially as another elf. She's basically like "wow, you have your own culture and religion? well either you give all of that up or I'll break up with you because I won't accept you for who you are." I like Sera and her funny comments...but man, she is making my life so difficult.
And to get Vivienne to hate you all you have to do is act like mages are human beings who shouldn't be abused and enslaved. You don't have to be awful to get some characters to hate your guts, people!
Let it be noted Varric never wanted to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary, he was a rogue merchant from a mining clan, not a mercenary, not a warrior, just a dwarf who didn’t care particularly for humans, but never wanted anyone to get hurt or be cruel to.
@@inannaenigma9391 The joke is Hawke has a super high kill count since most of the enemies in Kirkwall are just people. In fairness, the Inquisitor ends up similarly, since the main enemy faction aside from Rift demons is either mages or templars. But still, if you keep Varric in the party he paves the streets with corpses.
Tabris94 This is an old post, but I was actually wondering if Solas's approval ratings were correct. He wants to essentially destroy their known world, but he's constantly doubting it at every turn. So he's pretty much looking for reasons to end the world as they know it to bring back his own. Which is why giving him reasons to hate you, at that point, may garner approval? IDK it's kind of a weird thought, lol. It being a bug makes more sense.
Dorian is the stereo type of a gay man. His interesting blood magic story is thrown out in favor of “my noble dad wants me to have a job, but I am gay.” Like we have had gay characters since dragon age origins and it’s not a big deal. It was refreshing that you could just be gay and no body cared. I liked that there openly gay or bi people and it. It’s not shocking that the stereo type of gay man took a punch worse than a god.
@@conradkorbol Dorian is a character in his own right, his sexuality is simply a part of that character. So, to rephrase, its not shocking that the magister took a punch worse than a god.
Hacker 13 first off solas isn’t a magister lol. He is more powerful than that. Secondly, I don’t agree. His sexuality informs most of his chracter. His quest is about that. Sera is lesbian. But it never comes up in her quest. He is a stereotype. The other characters are not in the same way he is. There are wel written gay and trans and lesbian characters. Dorian isn’t one of them. So, why should I rephrase it? Is that you are offended that I say the gay man part? Cuz I am not saying there are not tough gay men. The stereo type is Effeminate. Which Dorian comes off as a stereotype. I could go on how his chracter doesn’t make sense for a real world comparison.
that sort of talk is dangerous though, the inquisitor couldve lost his temper and smashed her head against the pavement and nobody couldve done anything
Really? The way Vivienne talks down and always resorts to sarcasm and that mocking tone make her look childish in my eyes. That's why I love Cole and Solas because they call her on her bullshit. And she thought I was going to make her divine hahahahaha
I love how everyone else is like "hey, stop hurting people" and the confront you about it and have these really sad scenes that make you feel bad.. And then there's Vivienne. "Hey. I'm gonna move your furniture around. That'll show you." lol
+Glass Tab I know this was a long time ago, but Vivienne is a huge player in The Game and leads an entire faction of mages. Kicking her out will make her an enemy.
Glass Tab No one would stand for that. Moving your furniture around is not an offense punishable by death. Your advisers and most of your companions will disapprove (whether they like Vivienne or not, they will still think you are going too far.) The public would be outraged, and the Inquisition would be gain a reputation for being tyrannical. Seriously, she never betrayed you. She just disagreed with you on mage freedom and played an immature prank. That's it. If you think that is punishable by death, then you are one messed up individual.
Glass Tab "So making you look weak by defying you and showing how much she can just get away with, without consequence is "just a prank bro"?" Um... yeah. Because at the end of the day, all she did is disagree with you and pull a harmless prank. Newsflash: people aren't going to approve of every single decision you make. I'm disagreeing with you right now. Do you want to kill me? Also it doesn't make you look weak. You're wandering the countryside, sealing rifts and saving lives, leading a powerful and influential organization. People aren't going to suddenly turn around and go: "Lol, what a weakling" just because you let your INNER CIRCLE speak their mind. "Vinvienne is just a huge bitch if you ask me. I couldn't care less that she's influential or Plays "The Game". I fucking hate "The Game", it's one of the worst things in Dragon Age's story." Have fun when every single player of "The Game" turns against you. "Also pretty much everyone else hates her since she's a total bitch to them" Your companions hate her. And most of your other companions have little to no political impact, and their opinions do not reflect that of the nobles or mages who are both very loyal to her. But while they dislike her, that does not mean they will stand by and let you kill her for the apparent crime of disagreeing with you. "she's a coward when it comes to demons (i.e. Cole)" Cole is a spirit who can turn invisible, teleport, make people forget him, and read minds. And you gave him free reign of the castle. Of course she is going to be wary - she has been taught from an early age that demons seek to manipulate you, and has no way of knowing Cole's true intentions or motivations. But she is no coward. If she was a coward, then she wouldn't be willing to fight alongside you embark on a crusade to rid the world of demons. "Making (impacting) immoral or evil decisions should have been in the game if you ask me." There are immoral decisions. You can choose to kill people or simply refuse to help them. However, if you act as a corrupt ruler then nobody, including your own advisers (Cullen, Leliana, Josephine), will support you. The Inquisition is not its own country - it relies on the support of the nobility of other nations. "Also if execution isn't your thing then how about god damn banishment from the Inquisition (or anything that doesn't involve being a fucking pussy)" You're still turning away a valuable ally simply because she disagreed with you, which is a really stupid move. "Obviously you don't need her since you can choose not to recruit her in the first place." Maybe not, but she helps - you may not see any in-game differences, but lore wise she is offering political support. A breach is spewing out demons and a Darkspawn magister is out to destroy the world. You can't afford to be picky with your allies. By executing her or kicking her out, you are reinforcing the belief that you act like a whiny baby child.
Glass Tab I wish there were an option to kick her out too. There really should be for such insubordination; and you are a military operation, so her petty nonsense really wouldn't fly. But to be frank, we learn in the fade what her greatest fear is, and if you've done enough to bring her approval down to this level, you've done far more to her than a simple "dishonorable discharge" ever could.
Peter I would say Vivienne was being the child here, and such insubordination would get you into hell of trouble in an actual military operation. What's more, whatever political support Vivienne brings to the table is rather moot to your companions and the Inquisition's success: after all, lore-wise, you can defeat Corypheus without her while still having mass political influence, and what's more, your companions and advisers stand by you on many role-playing decisions (which includes war table operations) regardless of whether it is a pragmatic political decision. You can go around all of Thedas as an atheist or "pagan" shouting there is no Maker, despite belief that you are The Herald, and the most you get is disapproval from Cassandra and disagreement from Josephine. Last of note, Trespasser kind of vindicates the idea that you should be able to do more against Vivienne early on. Cassandra has plenty of bad things to say about her if you make her Divine (things she doesn't even say about Lelianna being Divine if you keep her hardened), and without missing a beat she becomes a problem if you were a pro-mage Inquisitor. You can argue that the developers shouldn't have written it to be so obvious, but they all but paint Vivienne as the manipulative authoritarian you might suspect her of being (especially if you are pro-mage) when initially playing the game.
+Nicholas Putnam Hey, it's that and her reaction in the Bad Future that got me to like her a little bit. It made it clear that no matter how much we disagree she really did care about me and wanted to be my friend.
It is interesting how much more sense Solas' dialogue makes when thinking of Trespasser. He's pretty much comparing the Inquisitor to one of the evanuris and his hatred makes so much more sense. It's just really cool. Also the blight stuff. He must know SOMETHING about it that we don't.
Maybe the blight is a tool of the Elven gods (Evanuris whatever) that wanted to whipe out everyone with it. The darkspawn get smarter around those high dragon gods as well so maybe its because the archdemons allow Darkspawn to communicate with the evanuris beyond the fade and the Evanuris actually pull the strings?
One of the things that really pains me is the way that even if Sera hates the Inquisitor's guts, she still kind of believes there's good in him/her. Look at her surprise when he throws her out. It really makes you realise that she's younger than the rest :O
Inquisitor: "I get the feeling there is something you'd like to say to me." Vivienne:" I'm sure I have no idea what you mean. Why in the world would I want to talk to you?" You better use some ice-magic on that burn, Inquisitor.
He story was so bad! He is such a bad character. Historically, gay people had kids if they were nobles and sucked it up. In game, no one actually seems to be homophobic. His dad doesn’t even seem to be. It’s really upsetting to me that his cool story about being a foreign mage was thrown out in order for him to be a gay stereotype.
Conrad Korbol it was literally this one quest with his dad? There’s nothing wrong with adding a “stereotypical” gay guy anyone cuz they do exist anyway. You have your own opinions, but you Dorian is one of the best companions in the game to most players 🤷🏻♂️
Jude AB his dad wants him to have kids. Which, historically, most gay nobles did. If you are no or you had kids. Even Alexander the Great the power bottom had kids. And the vast majority of the dragon age world is ok with homosexuality. So Dorian’s character strikes me as very strange and unnecessary. The vast majority of the world wasn’t homophobic until religions persecuted by the Roman’s took power. So it would be nice to see a world that’s just not homophobic. The issue with Dorian was that he didn’t want to do his noble duty, when his dad realized that made him run off he tried to meet him and love him. So that’s why I say the homophobia is dubious.
+THAC0MANIC I used to feel that way but really Dorian is the only one I don't like because instead of his story being about how is tevinter and doesn't believe and blood magic and wants political review its that he is gay and doesn't want to marry and have a kid. Which was standard even for Greeks and Romans. Dorian is poorly written and his focus is being gay. While I don't sera and can't see her really being part of the team her class is good, her romance is good, and she has her moments
Conrad Korbol Kinda get that but at least i can have converstions with Dorian. Sara is just someone i have no fucken clue if im saying something nice or not to her like serioiusly shes high on drugs
@@SeventhheavenDK Solas is correct in his claim that the Templar organization "saves people from thinking" even if he himself is a pretty narrow minded person, coming at it from his own biases. The leaders of the templars promoted unquestioning fear of both mages and magic in general, with Cullen being a good example of what that helped bring about. Even Cassandra starts questioning her faith when she finds out the truth about the ones behind the Templars, the Seekers, and how they abused the Rite of Tranquility. The Chantry and the Templars are pretty fucked up. Not necessarily every person in them, but the organizations as a whole. Its why Cassandra, despite her strong faith, acknowledged the need for change within the organizations, even if she did not think they should be abolished and rebult from scrap. The Templars have earned the ire towards them, make no mistake. With someone like Cassandra in charge though they could be reformed into something that actually works for the benefit of everyone in place of just persecution of mages and people the Chantry does not like or agree with.
There are universal rules of Bioware, and they are listed below: 1. Don't hit Dorian! 2. Remove Vette's shock collar when she first asks! 3. Never kill your love interest on Virmire (That should go without saying!) 4. Always have group sex with Isabela and Zevran! 5. If you follow rule number 4, do your absolute best to invite Leliana and/or Alistair! 6. If you're a female Shepard; and you romanced Liara in ME1, and hope to rekindle that love in Mass Effect 3, but also want to get the Paramour achievement of ME2, the safest course of action is Thane!
It's interesting to me that out of all of the companions, Sera's disapproval is the saddest. Most of the others (Dorian, Cole, Cassandra and Solas) are very angry while Vivienne hides behind all her 'darlings' and 'my dears' and Blackwall is mostly disappointed. Varric's disapproval is heart-wrenching too, but Sera's talk about "I need you to not be like that" is sad! She is sweet underneath all that fear that makes her caustic at times.
Well considering how people, especially adults, constantly let Sera down, I think it's downright saint of her that she actually begs Quizzy to reconsider their stance instead of you know, ruthlessly pranking them or killing them outright for pissing her off. If the Quizzy is not some unnamed and plot-unimportant noble, they will be killed right on the spot by a vengeful Sera.
Given her attitude, I expected Sera to explode since a low-approval Inquisitor embodies what she really hates. Instead she just begged not to be like those shitty nobs. Normally you would be summarily executed by her and the Red Jennies which is not difficult for her since she's a high-ranking member there.
I watched this cause i can't force myself to be an ass. Even though -SLIGHT SPOILER Solas does what he does, i haven't forced myself to hit him. Yet...... You can hit Dorian?? People get mad at Cole??!! I take this game too seriously, I know. But Cole's too awesome to anger (Asunder is the best book). Cassandra after 'Dawn of the Seeker' is just depressing.
+C Shepard Some people just get a huge kick out of hurting as many people in a game as they can. I've seen people actually complain that you can't become a murderous blood mage or take the Inquisition on a rampage across Thedas.
People tend to hate Cole since he's invasive into other people's memories and thoughts... which is understandable. I'd agree with them if he were a human or a demon, but he isn't. There is a pretty distinct difference between spirits and demons in this game. Spirits are almost always, if not always, benevolent and well-intending... and seeing as Cole is a spirit of compassion, he probably doesn't judge you unless you're a despicable person. So, yeah. I personally don't understand it. I love Cole, and I look at the Fade as Solas does. I have since I first played a Magi origin and talked to Wynne. She was probably aided by a compassion spirit, too.
Same I can never bring myself to sacrifice Bulls Chargers either his reaction to it just destroys me and then when you find out that that has a meaning when in trespasser and it causes him to betray you
@@blakechandler167 so you hated him and never did his quest line at all? or did you just pick off the choices that he greatly disapproved of? Because if he does not like you at all, he betrays you.
I can't imagine having anyone's disapproval; I'm far too much of a people-pleaser. When Sera was mad at me after our post-Mythal discussion, I reloaded that part just to get her not-mad (if that makes sense).
Ikr?? I once accidently (is that a word?) clicked the wrong decision and said she could leave because she does not fit the whole inquisition thing. I was so shocked and afraid that she would really leave me. (Good thing is, she did not and I could save it last minute...but whew.)
So long as you have basic manners, it's entirely possible to go the whole game without making anyone of your enemy, even if you make plot choices they disapprove. Solas for example is swimming with "slightly approves" when you just ask him things. (I managed to even stay friendly with Sera and Vivienne, of all people) However, you can easily get these if you start a new game with "Trials" enabled and use "Fair weather friends" trial. Negative rewards from disapproval are doubled, so it's possible to lose people after you have recruited them when game retroactively applies approvals. dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Trials
Eh I can Handel some disapproval it's only human to have different views from one another but that dosent mean I won't San up for her she's my best friend
@17:22 Holy crap. For once, Vivienne states her opinion in a way that makes her sound like a real person. For once I can actually see her side of things and agree wholeheartedly with them. Thanks for this. Even thought most of the scenes hurt (due to excellent writing on BioWare's part) it is nice to see the options I haven't the balls to take.
The way she cares. Cole tells that she hides her "care" because it makes her vulnerable, but the Inquisitor took her to a path that she will oppose with all her heart. The way she spoke was wise and passionate. Loved it. This is true vulnerability.
Oh my gosh it's weird how uncomfortable this makes me. Bioware did a good job, making these characters feel like real people. I would hate to make any of these people that mad... except maybe Vivienne and Solas. (lol) Though sabotaging Vivienne's potion was a terrible thing to do. Eesh.
Marshmallow Moo about sabotaging Vivienne’s potion I didn’t like her in my first play through at all, so I sabotaged her potion without knowing what the potion was for.
@@verlainespookie so you did not like her. and it turns out you made her her look like a less bitchy person by outdoing her in being shallow and petty ...
OroborusFMA I can see why someone would hate her, but I can't. I think she's adorable, and she makes me laugh. Plus, her romance was one of the sweetest I've done. She's so adorable when she's in love with the Inquisitor.
@@andreainbody7003 absolutely agree with you, sera has always been my fav, but well i had a few laughs cause there was some savage lines there like the archer target line like damn but for the most part that burt my soul, i love sera, but i can def see why some could hate her, even at times she can frustrate me when it comes to her and elves,and considering elves are my fav race and fav to play, and she's my fav romance, it can be stressful with her
Maker, am I the only one who likes Vivienne? I actually look up to her. Her confidence and poise and just overall bluntness is pretty admirable in my book. Also Cole, no! Smol cinnamon bun son, no! Brb crying forever.
I appreciate her confidence and really the way she talks ,and her voice is very nice,however I still don't like her as a person, but as a character?she's great
Don’t care for her much myself. It’s the way she talks, same with Sera, makes me uneasy. A shame too, Vivienne comes with what is agreed upon as the best mage specialization.
Are you on the crack? She's basically being racist. Replace mages with "black people" and see how the conversation sounds. Inquisitor: "They can't help what they are." Vivienne: "Neither can wolves." RACIST.
NODA_Republic you cannot replace mages with black peoples because it is not the same thing. Black people pose no threat to anyone. While mages on the other hand, have massive power, and if not monitored and controlled, it could destroy their whole world.
+Vinícius Ferreira Well to be fair when he returns to the Qunari they forcibly "Reeducate" him. He explains through dialogue early on that there is a group of Ben-Hassrath dedicated to wiping an individual's mind and filling it up with Qun filth.
+James Repstock He's loyal to the Qun from the start and he's a freaking ben-hassrath agent, you gave the approval of sacrificing the chargers, his big ol family. He doesn't need reeducation to take orders from the qun and his people.
But he betrays you even if you were in love. There's no doubt in my mind he was Reeducated? Why? He stated himself when he had doubts he went to the Reeducators and they fixed him up easy as pie, like how the Tamassrans "help" those in need. It's just a simple interaction for them. Iron Bull went to the Reeducators because that's simply what would be expected. "You've been in the bas lands too long, report to the Reeducators." "Aye, boss." *Goes and gets fucked in the head.*
also having your military general hating you is a very dangerous thing... hell imagine if you pissed leliana of fuck me man i don't think she'd ever be able to kill my inquisitor but still what a pain in the ass that would be lol
My god, I've only seen him glare at the inquisitor in a UA-cam video (that happens if you lead him on then dump him later) and the glare was enough to make me squirm. I would hate for him to genuinely tear into inky. 💀
@@junehollybell5977 or you could retire him actually you should be able to retire him i can't imagine why Cas recruit him, or insist for him to stay commander despite his health condition (it was cruel to him and dangerous for our soldiers actually) and why we can't even say a word about it well, i mean a sane word, not "stay on lirium" word, it's even more cruel than Cas's push him to stay
When solas says “You have no idea how much of a comfort that is.” At 24:15 he’s saying that for now it will be easier to kill them all when he remakes the world😂.
I know this is old, but yeah that shit was a huge wtf moment when I saw that in DA2. I was so pissed off at Anders that as a Hawke who is a mage, he basically just painted a target on the backs of all mages. Just when you think you have the Mage-Templar tension under control, he blows up the Chantry and unleashes hell lol. Effing Anders, all his fault haha.
@@kaylethstarbane7800 you want to know the sad thing regarding Anders? He went off about how his name would be remembered and praised in future generations, yet he is rarely mentioned in DAI. I played DAO, DAI, then 2, and I did not know Anders was in the second game until playing it. lol. All Anders accomplished was starting a war which led to the deaths of countless innocent people, on all sides and between of the conflict. It’s a shame he is the NPC healer, you pretty much have to bring him along if you want to get by on the higher difficulties if you yourself are not playing a healer.
I'm finding this painful to watch! I guess this is what it means to be a somewhat Moral gamer (when I'm a light side player that is. I certainly don't feel painful when I'm playing a bad guy in swtor)
Lone Wolf I know I can't stand being the bad guy but I do what I believe is right. I supported the mages as allies. I let the gray warden joins, I honor the elves believe and joined them in alliance. and I had high approval in court and brought celean and her lover back together. and got everyone with high approval even Sera.
+Lone Wolf i know right? every play through i try to get all the character to like me but seeing them hate you so fiercly is really upsetting for me aha
It's interesting that Bull is the only one that doesn't voice his displeasure with the Inquisitor, and yet also the only one that can betray and attack the Inquisitor.
Solas: From the stories, i thought you all thuggish, simple, and crude. Now? Now I know I was right. You have no idea what a comfort that is. My heart ached at this one.
@@Dark_Voice Exactly, and that is what makes it sad. After waking up, he considered all the people not real, tranquil almost, simple. And the Inquisitor can prove him right, or wrong. In the latter instance, he doesn't want to do what he has to do, but he knows he is the only one who can save his people, he is bound by duty. And in the first instance, he just doesn't give a shit about this world, and is more determined.
All of the Sera scenes make me pity her. She seems so sad. Normally, she just kind of acts like a brat, but I think here, it shows she truly cares about helping people very deeply. She's just too immature to be sincere about it.
It's amazing how your choices can literally change the whole world around you, I didn't even think it was possible to go that low in the "bastard inquisitor" scale. Damn. And seeing Cassandra drunk literally hurt me.
I could, but not to Dorian. I'd punch Solas through my TV screen. If you go the elven romance route with him, he breaks the inquisitors heart and abandons her when she wanted a life with him. So yeah, jerk deserved to get hit. I would've preferred a nut shot though for how he hurts the dalish inquisitor.
It's honestly scary how evil you can be in all three games. I'm glad that you make compilations like this, because I can never bring myself to act this way with my companions during my playthroughs.
I never would have thought that out of all of these, Sera would crush me the most. Dorian was heartwrenching aswell, but seeing Sera, who I don't even particularily like (I absolutely don't hate her like some do, I think she has her place and her being annoying and childish is part of her charm) so heartbroken and disillusioned makes me feel like I've hurt my little sister. Sera, who is normally cheery and upbeat to the point of being obnoxious, crying because she hoped so, so much that you would be different from all the other powerful assholes in the world. She'd hoped so much that she had finally found someone to believe in. It just kills me inside. Out of all of them, her scene actually brought me to tears.
Vivienne and Solas exist: This is why in every single play through, I bring Dorian as my mage. Two close range, one long range, and a Dorian. That’s my party.
Kudos to you, I can't bring myself to do this. It hurts too much! But it's still cool to see how they all react to your actions. They aren't just completely blind to it. Great game.
Even though I finished the game many times, I would have probably never seen these scenes, since I just cant bring myself to be evil on my companions. Thanks for the upload, some of that is heartbreaking stuff.

Besides, he didn't get punched for what he did as a mythical figure, he got punched because the Inquisitor has poor impulse control.

It's a bug, although it says GA, you lose that rep instead.
If Cole leaves and makes you forget about him, his codex entry simply says "The Inquisition knows no one of that name."
Damn that is an interesting tidbit. Never knew that.

Dorian is the stereo type of a gay man. His interesting blood magic story is thrown out in favor of “my noble dad wants me to have a job, but I am gay.”
Like we have had gay characters since dragon age origins and it’s not a big deal. It was refreshing that you could just be gay and no body cared. I liked that there openly gay or bi people and it. It’s not shocking that the stereo type of gay man took a punch worse than a god.
@@conradkorbol Dorian is a character in his own right, his sexuality is simply a part of that character. So, to rephrase, its not shocking that the magister took a punch worse than a god.
Hacker 13 first off solas isn’t a magister lol. He is more powerful than that.
Secondly, I don’t agree. His sexuality informs most of his chracter. His quest is about that. Sera is lesbian. But it never comes up in her quest. He is a stereotype. The other characters are not in the same way he is.
There are wel written gay and trans and lesbian characters. Dorian isn’t one of them.
So, why should I rephrase it? Is that you are offended that I say the gay man part? Cuz I am not saying there are not tough gay men. The stereo type is Effeminate. Which Dorian comes off as a stereotype.
I could go on how his chracter doesn’t make sense for a real world comparison.
This is so painful. Poor Dorian. Poor everyone really, but how could anyone hit Dorian? While romancing him no less!
Dorian,Iron Bull, and Varic. I love them to death.
Pure pain.

Being Super pissed and Super Drunk gives you superpowers
"Everyone knows a wolf" ... oh hi, Solas!
So so funny.
She was actually wary of him :O
Vivienne is so good at making you feel like shit without even insulting you directly, wish i could do that
1 part of wit, 9 parts of blunt sarcasm
that sort of talk is dangerous though, the inquisitor couldve lost his temper and smashed her head against the pavement and nobody couldve done anything
Олег Егоров
hah, rogue style?
I play as 2H warrior everytime, my style would be the pavement smashing lol
A mage could tranquilize her
Wit my friend. Quick thinking and observant. Actually knowing how to hit someone where it hurts instead of generic insults
Really? The way Vivienne talks down and always resorts to sarcasm and that mocking tone make her look childish in my eyes.
That's why I love Cole and Solas because they call her on her bullshit. And she thought I was going to make her divine hahahahaha
I love how everyone else is like "hey, stop hurting people" and the confront you about it and have these really sad scenes that make you feel bad..
And then there's Vivienne. "Hey. I'm gonna move your furniture around. That'll show you." lol
+Glass Tab I know this was a long time ago, but Vivienne is a huge player in The Game and leads an entire faction of mages. Kicking her out will make her an enemy.
Glass Tab No one would stand for that. Moving your furniture around is not an offense punishable by death. Your advisers and most of your companions will disapprove (whether they like Vivienne or not, they will still think you are going too far.) The public would be outraged, and the Inquisition would be gain a reputation for being tyrannical.
Seriously, she never betrayed you. She just disagreed with you on mage freedom and played an immature prank. That's it. If you think that is punishable by death, then you are one messed up individual.
Glass Tab "So making you look weak by defying you and showing how much she can just get away with, without consequence is "just a prank bro"?"
Um... yeah.
Because at the end of the day, all she did is disagree with you and pull a harmless prank. Newsflash: people aren't going to approve of every single decision you make. I'm disagreeing with you right now. Do you want to kill me?
Also it doesn't make you look weak. You're wandering the countryside, sealing rifts and saving lives, leading a powerful and influential organization. People aren't going to suddenly turn around and go: "Lol, what a weakling" just because you let your INNER CIRCLE speak their mind.
"Vinvienne is just a huge bitch if you ask me. I couldn't care less that she's influential or Plays "The Game". I fucking hate "The Game", it's one of the worst things in Dragon Age's story."
Have fun when every single player of "The Game" turns against you.
"Also pretty much everyone else hates her since she's a total bitch to them"
Your companions hate her. And most of your other companions have little to no political impact, and their opinions do not reflect that of the nobles or mages who are both very loyal to her.
But while they dislike her, that does not mean they will stand by and let you kill her for the apparent crime of disagreeing with you.
"she's a coward when it comes to demons (i.e. Cole)"
Cole is a spirit who can turn invisible, teleport, make people forget him, and read minds. And you gave him free reign of the castle. Of course she is going to be wary - she has been taught from an early age that demons seek to manipulate you, and has no way of knowing Cole's true intentions or motivations.
But she is no coward. If she was a coward, then she wouldn't be willing to fight alongside you embark on a crusade to rid the world of demons.
"Making (impacting) immoral or evil decisions should have been in the game if you ask me."
There are immoral decisions. You can choose to kill people or simply refuse to help them. However, if you act as a corrupt ruler then nobody, including your own advisers (Cullen, Leliana, Josephine), will support you. The Inquisition is not its own country - it relies on the support of the nobility of other nations.
"Also if execution isn't your thing then how about god damn banishment from the Inquisition (or anything that doesn't involve being a fucking pussy)"
You're still turning away a valuable ally simply because she disagreed with you, which is a really stupid move.
"Obviously you don't need her since you can choose not to recruit her in the first place."
Maybe not, but she helps - you may not see any in-game differences, but lore wise she is offering political support. A breach is spewing out demons and a Darkspawn magister is out to destroy the world. You can't afford to be picky with your allies.
By executing her or kicking her out, you are reinforcing the belief that you act like a whiny baby child.
Glass Tab I wish there were an option to kick her out too. There really should be for such insubordination; and you are a military operation, so her petty nonsense really wouldn't fly.
But to be frank, we learn in the fade what her greatest fear is, and if you've done enough to bring her approval down to this level, you've done far more to her than a simple "dishonorable discharge" ever could.
Peter I would say Vivienne was being the child here, and such insubordination would get you into hell of trouble in an actual military operation. What's more, whatever political support Vivienne brings to the table is rather moot to your companions and the Inquisition's success: after all, lore-wise, you can defeat Corypheus without her while still having mass political influence, and what's more, your companions and advisers stand by you on many role-playing decisions (which includes war table operations) regardless of whether it is a pragmatic political decision. You can go around all of Thedas as an atheist or "pagan" shouting there is no Maker, despite belief that you are The Herald, and the most you get is disapproval from Cassandra and disagreement from Josephine.
Last of note, Trespasser kind of vindicates the idea that you should be able to do more against Vivienne early on. Cassandra has plenty of bad things to say about her if you make her Divine (things she doesn't even say about Lelianna being Divine if you keep her hardened), and without missing a beat she becomes a problem if you were a pro-mage Inquisitor. You can argue that the developers shouldn't have written it to be so obvious, but they all but paint Vivienne as the manipulative authoritarian you might suspect her of being (especially if you are pro-mage) when initially playing the game.
Christ! That look on Seras face when you tell her to leave. Looked like somebody kicked her puppy
+Nicholas Putnam Hey, it's that and her reaction in the Bad Future that got me to like her a little bit. It made it clear that no matter how much we disagree she really did care about me and wanted to be my friend.
+timemonkey I can never bring myself o bring her with me at that part XD
+Nicholas Putnam She sounds so heartbroken over failing to protect you.
No man, she IS the puppy that got kicked! :C
I told her to leave when I was playing a Dalish elf, because I got sick to death of hearing her call my heritage stupid. I can't stand her.
It is interesting how much more sense Solas' dialogue makes when thinking of Trespasser. He's pretty much comparing the Inquisitor to one of the evanuris and his hatred makes so much more sense. It's just really cool. Also the blight stuff. He must know SOMETHING about it that we don't.
Maybe the blight is a tool of the Elven gods (Evanuris whatever) that wanted to whipe out everyone with it. The darkspawn get smarter around those high dragon gods as well so maybe its because the archdemons allow Darkspawn to communicate with the evanuris beyond the fade and the Evanuris actually pull the strings?
One of the things that really pains me is the way that even if Sera hates the Inquisitor's guts, she still kind of believes there's good in him/her. Look at her surprise when he throws her out. It really makes you realise that she's younger than the rest :O
Is it bad that I laugh when Solas gets punched? I just love him turning so dramatically holding his cheek! He's such a drama queen! XD
An god egg-head drama queen actually
I found this out recently but that is actually a reused animation from Mass Effect 2, I think.
"You think you can walk away? If you're not the archer, you're the target. Get your treacherous face out of my sight now!" Well damn...
Ikr! That was my exact words to that part, my god the savagery
Didn't know you could say that to her at all. Guess the Inquisitor threatened to kill her if she stayed right there.
I've never seen Dorian so mad

*Hits Solas* - Solas Greatly Approves
Dread Wolf's into some kinky shit.
Watching Dorian’s, referencing his romance. When he’s hit I can just imagine how much damage that does psychologically to him given his upbringing.
Yeah, this was really difficult to watch. :(
He story was so bad! He is such a bad character. Historically, gay people had kids if they were nobles and sucked it up.
In game, no one actually seems to be homophobic. His dad doesn’t even seem to be.
It’s really upsetting to me that his cool story about being a foreign mage was thrown out in order for him to be a gay stereotype.
Conrad Korbol it was literally this one quest with his dad? There’s nothing wrong with adding a “stereotypical” gay guy anyone cuz they do exist anyway. You have your own opinions, but you Dorian is one of the best companions in the game to most players 🤷🏻♂️
Conrad Korbol Also, ofc his dad is homophobic. He literally tried to use blood magic to convert his son.
Jude AB his dad wants him to have kids. Which, historically, most gay nobles did. If you are no or you had kids. Even Alexander the Great the power bottom had kids.
And the vast majority of the dragon age world is ok with homosexuality.
So Dorian’s character strikes me as very strange and unnecessary. The vast majority of the world wasn’t homophobic until religions persecuted by the Roman’s took power.
So it would be nice to see a world that’s just not homophobic.
The issue with Dorian was that he didn’t want to do his noble duty, when his dad realized that made him run off he tried to meet him and love him. So that’s why I say the homophobia is dubious.
After watching Sera almost cry, get angry, and leave.. I appreciate her a lot more. I realized how much I appreciate her.
I love your profile pic!
shes the one NPC i dispise the most and could be happy with her gone.
+THAC0MANIC I used to feel that way but really Dorian is the only one I don't like because instead of his story being about how is tevinter and doesn't believe and blood magic and wants political review its that he is gay and doesn't want to marry and have a kid. Which was standard even for Greeks and Romans. Dorian is poorly written and his focus is being gay. While I don't sera and can't see her really being part of the team her class is good, her romance is good, and she has her moments
Conrad Korbol Kinda get that but at least i can have converstions with Dorian. Sara is just someone i have no fucken clue if im saying something nice or not to her like serioiusly shes high on drugs
+THAC0MANIC I can see that. I just don't understand why they had to make the two homosexual characters the worst characters.

@@dnnu . He doesn't make a good point when for a narrow minded person as Solas thinking means to think as him.
@@SeventhheavenDK Solas is correct in his claim that the Templar organization "saves people from thinking" even if he himself is a pretty narrow minded person, coming at it from his own biases. The leaders of the templars promoted unquestioning fear of both mages and magic in general, with Cullen being a good example of what that helped bring about. Even Cassandra starts questioning her faith when she finds out the truth about the ones behind the Templars, the Seekers, and how they abused the Rite of Tranquility.
The Chantry and the Templars are pretty fucked up. Not necessarily every person in them, but the organizations as a whole. Its why Cassandra, despite her strong faith, acknowledged the need for change within the organizations, even if she did not think they should be abolished and rebult from scrap. The Templars have earned the ire towards them, make no mistake.
With someone like Cassandra in charge though they could be reformed into something that actually works for the benefit of everyone in place of just persecution of mages and people the Chantry does not like or agree with.
@@SeventhheavenDK Shoot the message, not the messenger.

There are universal rules of Bioware, and they are listed below:
1. Don't hit Dorian!
2. Remove Vette's shock collar when she first asks!
3. Never kill your love interest on Virmire (That should go without saying!)
4. Always have group sex with Isabela and Zevran!
5. If you follow rule number 4, do your absolute best to invite Leliana and/or Alistair!
6. If you're a female Shepard; and you romanced Liara in ME1, and hope to rekindle that love in Mass Effect 3, but also want to get the Paramour achievement of ME2, the safest course of action is Thane!

+Thar Chandran Made my day XD
Thar Chandran what about Vivienne Madame de Fuck you’re annoying. She’s a bitch
Solas approves
@@verlainespookie . Not in my case. Viv is my favorite character in this game.
Cassandra... I could never.
It's interesting to me that out of all of the companions, Sera's disapproval is the saddest. Most of the others (Dorian, Cole, Cassandra and Solas) are very angry while Vivienne hides behind all her 'darlings' and 'my dears' and Blackwall is mostly disappointed. Varric's disapproval is heart-wrenching too, but Sera's talk about "I need you to not be like that" is sad! She is sweet underneath all that fear that makes her caustic at times.
I always thought she was the sweetest if you read her notes.
Lol, just no.
Well considering how people, especially adults, constantly let Sera down, I think it's downright saint of her that she actually begs Quizzy to reconsider their stance instead of you know, ruthlessly pranking them or killing them outright for pissing her off. If the Quizzy is not some unnamed and plot-unimportant noble, they will be killed right on the spot by a vengeful Sera.
Given her attitude, I expected Sera to explode since a low-approval Inquisitor embodies what she really hates. Instead she just begged not to be like those shitty nobs. Normally you would be summarily executed by her and the Red Jennies which is not difficult for her since she's a high-ranking member there.
/dorian yells and insults the inquisitor
me: oh he is such an honorable man aw I'm so proud
I watched this cause i can't force myself to be an ass. Even though -SLIGHT SPOILER
Solas does what he does, i haven't forced myself to hit him.
Yet......
You can hit Dorian?? People get mad at Cole??!!
I take this game too seriously, I know. But Cole's too awesome to anger (Asunder is the best book). Cassandra after 'Dawn of the Seeker' is just depressing.
+C Shepard Some people just get a huge kick out of hurting as many people in a game as they can. I've seen people actually complain that you can't become a murderous blood mage or take the Inquisition on a rampage across Thedas.
People tend to hate Cole since he's invasive into other people's memories and thoughts... which is understandable. I'd agree with them if he were a human or a demon, but he isn't. There is a pretty distinct difference between spirits and demons in this game. Spirits are almost always, if not always, benevolent and well-intending... and seeing as Cole is a spirit of compassion, he probably doesn't judge you unless you're a despicable person.
So, yeah. I personally don't understand it. I love Cole, and I look at the Fade as Solas does. I have since I first played a Magi origin and talked to Wynne. She was probably aided by a compassion spirit, too.
Same I can never bring myself to sacrifice Bulls Chargers either his reaction to it just destroys me and then when you find out that that has a meaning when in trespasser and it causes him to betray you
@@chrysalisartcreations1566 I hated bull but the chargers lived and he still betrayed me so I say fuck him.
@@blakechandler167 so you hated him and never did his quest line at all? or did you just pick off the choices that he greatly disapproved of? Because if he does not like you at all, he betrays you.
this just.....broke my heart.
dragonieprayer except the part with Solas lol
That was very satisfying
I can't imagine having anyone's disapproval; I'm far too much of a people-pleaser. When Sera was mad at me after our post-Mythal discussion, I reloaded that part just to get her not-mad (if that makes sense).
Ikr?? I once accidently (is that a word?) clicked the wrong decision and said she could leave because she does not fit the whole inquisition thing. I was so shocked and afraid that she would really leave me. (Good thing is, she did not and I could save it last minute...but whew.)
So long as you have basic manners, it's entirely possible to go the whole game without making anyone of your enemy, even if you make plot choices they disapprove. Solas for example is swimming with "slightly approves" when you just ask him things. (I managed to even stay friendly with Sera and Vivienne, of all people)
However, you can easily get these if you start a new game with "Trials" enabled and use "Fair weather friends" trial. Negative rewards from disapproval are doubled, so it's possible to lose people after you have recruited them when game retroactively applies approvals.
dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Trials
I honestly easily managed to keep a good approval amount(is that how you say it?) With pretty much all of the characters
Eh I can Handel some disapproval it's only human to have different views from one another but that dosent mean I won't San up for her she's my best friend
“You don’t care about people!!”
Cole no sweetheart no please come back I didn’t mean it I can change please d
I feel like this is what would happen if Envy succeeds is "knowing" the Inquisitor.
Scumbag Inquisitor makes Vivienne seem likable O.O
@17:22 Holy crap. For once, Vivienne states her opinion in a way that makes her sound like a real person. For once I can actually see her side of things and agree wholeheartedly with them. Thanks for this. Even thought most of the scenes hurt (due to excellent writing on BioWare's part) it is nice to see the options I haven't the balls to take.
Agreed
The way she cares. Cole tells that she hides her "care" because it makes her vulnerable, but the Inquisitor took her to a path that she will oppose with all her heart. The way she spoke was wise and passionate. Loved it. This is true vulnerability.
idk but hearing Dorian say "so much for us" really broke my heart
Sera's face after the inquisitor called her a traitor and ordered her out just broke my heart
Ikr i laughed alittle at the start cause of the pure savagery of it, then i was just stunned like damn, and then soul crushed seeing her reaction
Other companions: *Get hit*
Me: _"Ouch."_
Dorian: *Gets hit*
Me: "...."
Me: "Alright, death it is then."
The smart ones are always the nastiest when they don't like you.. :D
Oh my gosh it's weird how uncomfortable this makes me. Bioware did a good job, making these characters feel like real people. I would hate to make any of these people that mad... except maybe Vivienne and Solas. (lol) Though sabotaging Vivienne's potion was a terrible thing to do. Eesh.

I appreciate her confidence and really the way she talks ,and her voice is very nice,however I still don't like her as a person, but as a character?she's great
I love Vivienne. She's really misunderstood and it's a shame.
Don’t care for her much myself. It’s the way she talks, same with Sera, makes me uneasy.
A shame too, Vivienne comes with what is agreed upon as the best mage specialization.
Viviennes speech about mages is actually quite touching. I don't agree with her all the time , but it seems that she does care.
Are you on the crack?
She's basically being racist. Replace mages with "black people" and see how the conversation sounds.
Inquisitor: "They can't help what they are."
Vivienne: "Neither can wolves."
RACIST.
NODA_Republic you cannot replace mages with black peoples because it is not the same thing. Black people pose no threat to anyone. While mages on the other hand, have massive power, and if not monitored and controlled, it could destroy their whole world.
@@GuitarGuy057 Vivienne is a MAGE. Now replace the word MAGE with BLACK then ask yourself if you're on crack.
@@judeab6560 Inner city Chicago ring a bell? Do you have any idea what the biggest threat to black lives is there?
@@GuitarGuy057 demons and lightning bolts from mages? No? Then Clearly what you said was fucking stupid
Dorian: You hit me! Even my father has never hit me!
Yes he only used blood magic on his only son
Parth Doshi It builds character.
@@parthdoshi2519 He actually didn't, he was going to, but Dorian left before he could
You'll never defeat Char with an attitude like that.
Yet his father committed the ultimate betrayal of his son's trust by resorting to blood magic. Which would make him brain dead if things go south.
Poor Cassandra. Oh I hate to see her like that :(
I take it Iron Bull just doesnt give a single fuck? I love that man.
+JusticeCracker kill his chargers and he betrays you later. Simple as that lol
+Vinícius Ferreira Well to be fair when he returns to the Qunari they forcibly "Reeducate" him. He explains through dialogue early on that there is a group of Ben-Hassrath dedicated to wiping an individual's mind and filling it up with Qun filth.
+James Repstock He's loyal to the Qun from the start and he's a freaking ben-hassrath agent, you gave the approval of sacrificing the chargers, his big ol family. He doesn't need reeducation to take orders from the qun and his people.
Vinícius Ferreira
Why would you do that though? Guys have a ship. The charges are out in the open. Not my fault they over hyped the ship.
But he betrays you even if you were in love. There's no doubt in my mind he was Reeducated? Why? He stated himself when he had doubts he went to the Reeducators and they fixed him up easy as pie, like how the Tamassrans "help" those in need. It's just a simple interaction for them. Iron Bull went to the Reeducators because that's simply what would be expected. "You've been in the bas lands too long, report to the Reeducators." "Aye, boss." *Goes and gets fucked in the head.*
8:52 Cassandra was so angry that she shows her magic talents, floating her pot.
THE DORIAN PART MADE ME SO UPSET B YE
Solas......I really could never do anything to make him hate me.......his goddamn voice man
Ookay watching these makes me real happy that Cullen doesn't have an approval rating and can't hate me like this. I would cry so much xD
also having your military general hating you is a very dangerous thing... hell imagine if you pissed leliana of fuck me man i don't think she'd ever be able to kill my inquisitor but still what a pain in the ass that would be lol
@@junehollybell5977 you do realize that this is the nightingale we're talking about right?
My god, I've only seen him glare at the inquisitor in a UA-cam video (that happens if you lead him on then dump him later) and the glare was enough to make me squirm. I would hate for him to genuinely tear into inky. 💀
@@junehollybell5977 or you could retire him
actually you should be able to retire him
i can't imagine why Cas recruit him, or insist for him to stay commander despite his health condition (it was cruel to him and dangerous for our soldiers actually) and why we can't even say a word about it
well, i mean a sane word, not "stay on lirium" word, it's even more cruel than Cas's push him to stay
This hurts my heart for the most part, but Solas's sass makes me laugh
When solas says “You have no idea how much of a comfort that is.” At 24:15 he’s saying that for now it will be easier to kill them all when he remakes the world😂.
Varric: *references Anders in DA2* Me: *gets nam flashbacks of him blowing up the Chantry*
I know this is old, but yeah that shit was a huge wtf moment when I saw that in DA2. I was so pissed off at Anders that as a Hawke who is a mage, he basically just painted a target on the backs of all mages. Just when you think you have the Mage-Templar tension under control, he blows up the Chantry and unleashes hell lol. Effing Anders, all his fault haha.
@@kaylethstarbane7800 you want to know the sad thing regarding Anders? He went off about how his name would be remembered and praised in future generations, yet he is rarely mentioned in DAI. I played DAO, DAI, then 2, and I did not know Anders was in the second game until playing it. lol.
All Anders accomplished was starting a war which led to the deaths of countless innocent people, on all sides and between of the conflict. It’s a shame he is the NPC healer, you pretty much have to bring him along if you want to get by on the higher difficulties if you yourself are not playing a healer.
@@codysellers4151 Ikr, once again... screw that guy.
I'm finding this painful to watch! I guess this is what it means to be a somewhat Moral gamer (when I'm a light side player that is. I certainly don't feel painful when I'm playing a bad guy in swtor)
Lone Wolf I know I can't stand being the bad guy but I do what I believe is right. I supported the mages as allies. I let the gray warden joins, I honor the elves believe and joined them in alliance. and I had high approval in court and brought celean and her lover back together. and got everyone with high approval even Sera.
+Lone Wolf i know right? every play through i try to get all the character to like me but seeing them hate you so fiercly is really upsetting for me aha
That's not your fault. Just Bioware writers can't actually write anything "evil". Just a schoolyard bully.
Uh, you can totally get this from Vivienne while being a reasonably moral gamer.
Swtor is the only game I can be mean in
It's interesting that Bull is the only one that doesn't voice his displeasure with the Inquisitor, and yet also the only one that can betray and attack the Inquisitor.
My heart can’t handle Cole being angry at us. He’s so precious
Solas: From the stories, i thought you all thuggish, simple, and crude. Now? Now I know I was right. You have no idea what a comfort that is.
My heart ached at this one.
Why? It just means that he wont regret whiping everyone out in favor of his own people in DA4 - there is nothing sad about it.
@@Dark_Voice Exactly, and that is what makes it sad. After waking up, he considered all the people not real, tranquil almost, simple. And the Inquisitor can prove him right, or wrong. In the latter instance, he doesn't want to do what he has to do, but he knows he is the only one who can save his people, he is bound by duty. And in the first instance, he just doesn't give a shit about this world, and is more determined.
All of the Sera scenes make me pity her. She seems so sad. Normally, she just kind of acts like a brat, but I think here, it shows she truly cares about helping people very deeply. She's just too immature to be sincere about it.
"I pimp slap all my - companions."
Evil Inquisitor the First
you mean the fist?
@@junehollybell5977 That is a little too disturbing lol.
24:50
That punch sent me.
And Solas's reaction, so dramatic.
Thank you, friend, for choosing the dialogue options my marshmallow heart wouldn’t choose.
It's amazing how your choices can literally change the whole world around you, I didn't even think it was possible to go that low in the "bastard inquisitor" scale. Damn.
And seeing Cassandra drunk literally hurt me.
Wow, I suddenly like Sera.
I could never do this in-game, so it was interesting to see another perspective on the companions. *Hugs Dorian*.
I could, but not to Dorian. I'd punch Solas through my TV screen. If you go the elven romance route with him, he breaks the inquisitors heart and abandons her when she wanted a life with him. So yeah, jerk deserved to get hit. I would've preferred a nut shot though for how he hurts the dalish inquisitor.
I love Vivianne, I love her sass and sense of style, I wish I could romance her as well, but it is SO HARD to get along with her!
It's honestly scary how evil you can be in all three games. I'm glad that you make compilations like this, because I can never bring myself to act this way with my companions during my playthroughs.
This is painful to watch
I never would have thought that out of all of these, Sera would crush me the most. Dorian was heartwrenching aswell, but seeing Sera, who I don't even particularily like (I absolutely don't hate her like some do, I think she has her place and her being annoying and childish is part of her charm) so heartbroken and disillusioned makes me feel like I've hurt my little sister. Sera, who is normally cheery and upbeat to the point of being obnoxious, crying because she hoped so, so much that you would be different from all the other powerful assholes in the world. She'd hoped so much that she had finally found someone to believe in. It just kills me inside. Out of all of them, her scene actually brought me to tears.
I could never bring myself to kick Sera out. We need those breeches.
Vivienne just messed with furniture? So petty lmao
watching this makes me want to be a better person :/
Cody Polak SAME
Vivienne and Solas exist: This is why in every single play through, I bring Dorian as my mage.
Two close range, one long range, and a Dorian. That’s my party.
Holy shit I'm playing right now and this is my exact party composition
Yeah. No matter what playthrough I do, Dorian is my mage. I rarely use Solas and Vivienne.
Kudos to you, I can't bring myself to do this. It hurts too much! But it's still cool to see how they all react to your actions. They aren't just completely blind to it. Great game.
Your character looks like my uncle /:
Patz Ortega *uncomfortable flashbacks*
wow dorian and sera are so heartbreaking and saaaad :(
the work you put into this, thank you for showing the things I could never see no matter how many times I play through the game
This makes me sad, but damn your Inquisitor looks badass.
Even though I finished the game many times, I would have probably never seen these scenes, since I just cant bring myself to be evil on my companions. Thanks for the upload, some of that is heartbreaking stuff.
Awwwwwwwwww, this is so sad :( I can imagine his post-Corypheus celebration being very lonely.
