Patrick wrote Samantha, didn't he? Did he write anyone else?

Tali, at least in 2 and 3. Both appearances of Mordin.

I suppose it is a matter of interpretation. I don't see how the book supports him being a kind of spirit that exists outside of the rules, but I could be forgetting something. What do you think is so unusual about him? I just saw him as a spirt of mercy who had been corrupted and had evolved into something else, similar to how Justice has become Vengeance. And I think if Vengeance is going to live outside of Anders, he would probably do so by killing a bunch of people, too.

It's not conclusive and the actual game might be wildly different, but Cole's bio in the Inquisition marketing survey that leaked about a year ago was very vague about what he actually is. 


Cole:
A long time ago, a young man died a cruel death in a dark place. And now,
somehow, there is Cole. Was he a spirit or a demon? Is he human now?
Cole’s not sure it matters anymore. Hounded by memories that aren’t his, invisible
in a world he can stalk like a shadow, the rogue must decide between
joining the living or preying on them.
[/list]If Cole's identity crisis is the basis for his entire story arc in Inquisition, I hardly think it's likely that he's a run-of-the-mill demon or spirit. At the very least, he's unusually introspective and unusually confused - which is not at all something we've seen before. If *the game* is making a big deal about that duality, then it certainly wasn't something that was settled and over with in Asunder.

He also wrote Mordin, and I believe large chunks of Tuchanka and Rannoch. Plus a fair bit of the 'comedy' flavour text that's been in ME2/ME3 (like the Blasto ads, I think). 

He's also writing the next DA novel, if that makes a difference.

I think he also wrote Garrus' Normady Dialogue in Mass Effect 2 and 3 if I remember correctly. I might not.. orz 

He also has his own novel out called The Palace Job which is sort of a fantasy take on the Heist genre. I reccomend it if you like clever comedy. His humour reminds me of Douglas Adams', the writer of Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

One thing I was never clear on though: Did Cole himself really commit all those murders, or did he use Rhys to do them?

I was a little confused about that, too. But it seemed like Cole had an opportunity to kill someone when he was at the Adamant Fortress while Rhys was in the fade. Of course he didn't, but he clearly felt like he could.

That's interesting. Thanks for posting it, I hadn't seen it before. I suppose we'll get a definite answer one way or the other eventually.

New Arlathan pic posted on facebook, but I don't know how to embed pics!!! Awesome one, too.

Facebook says: “And thus was mighty Arlathan cast down, its people swallowed by darkness—never to rise again.”

This picture looks absolutely beautiful! I want to go to there!!!

[rapscallioness]

Is that in the Arbor Wilds? The trees look similar.

Are we gonna get to go in the abyss? The sunken ruins of Arlathan? On the Facebook version it talks abt "Here lies Arlathan...swallowed in darkness...never to rise again."

[rapscallioness]

Do you think anybody's left alive? I wanna go there!

[Hrungr]

I'd love it if we got the chance to visit Arlathan, but it's far to the north and beyond the scope of the game as they've described it...

It's a great piece of concept art though, definitely intriguing.

The "well of all souls"?

The ancient elves are known to no die, but to go in an eternal sleep. It might be a reference to that.

Couple funny ones today:

@davidgaider: Today @bengelinas killed all my adverbs. It was a massacre.
@bengelinas: Hey, I left a couple to mourn the dead.
@bengelinas: To grimly mourn the dead, I'm sure.

It does, I'm just saying that Arlathan is well beyond the "Eastern Ferelden to Western Orlais" the game is supposed to take place. So it may just be art for a place we might not see in this game. 

[rapscallioness]

*gigglesnort*

Ah, the massacre of adverbs. How do they expect a writer to paint a picture when they take away all their colors? Blunt force writing it is, like performing surgery w/a meat cleaver. haha!...

oh..and non-euclidian....boobs..I..never woulda thought to...see that, like that.

Well, I hope you're wrong. That would be rather painful.

The quote is actually from the Chant of Light. "Here lies the abyss, the well of all souls. From these emerald waters doth life begin anew. Come to me, child, and I shall embrace you. In my arms lies Eternity."

Was looking at that pic on Twitter, the human figure (Inquisitor?) on the bridge is absolutely TINY.

So that's a really huge environment - very cool.

[Iron Star]

That pic almost makes me want to use a dalish elf for my first playthrough.

[bondari reloads.]

Are they going to pull a Thedosian Javik by bringing back some Arlathan elf? Not that I'd mind.

[andar91]

People keep saying they want to play a dalish elf, but I'm not sure that that's an option, is it? We know we can play an elf, but it might be a default city elf.
