If there's a despair demon then I am sure there should be a hope/faith spirit.

In the end demons feed on the life force of people, so they'll end up dying in the end.

With the world in turmoil and the chantry being so weak/disbanded then perhaps people will and up losing faith and fall into despair?

I am probably wrong, but I always thought that the pride demon that showed up in dawn of the seeker was a greater pride demon.

If a presence of one can "cause" turmoil to the world then it sure was close had it not been for plot

A greater pride demon compares how to a despair demon?

That is the question.


Considering we only have two or three sentences that reference them in a codex entry, we have no idea what a greater pride demon is capable of, or if they even really exist. But it also depends on the complexity of the pride or despair that either demon represents. Despair could be just as powerful as pride.

You know we did see a spirit that was attracted to any person who was in despair who wouth then kill them, so....:whistle:

(Also, you can say it was an act out of Mercy.)

I don't believe Cole can be distilled into a single emotion like emotion or despair, because he embodies many different emotions and traits. He seems to be a whole new breed of spirit unlike any we have ever seen before.

His major emotion is fear and despire and his is attracted to any one if great despire, to the point they want to die.
He clearly is a despair demon. He also may become a spirit of Mercy. (Like how Justice became a demon of vengence.)

Have you read DA:Asunders?

Everything he does is what a demon would do. He lives on the emotional and life energy of being of this plain... Like all demons do.

He is attracted to a spacific negative emotion, like all demons do.

He also uses blood magic, which all demons no how to use.

He even can take the images of mortals and their memories , like hunger demons.

So if it walks, talks, and looks like a duck...

Then why in the world did he comfort the original Cole in his last moments? That seems completely anathema to every demon encountered thus far.

Spirits(this includes demons as they are spirits) can become confused when they cross the veil.

Explain why he feed off those people in despair if he is not a demon?

Eh, seems like an excuse to bring in Angsty /wrist types of characters and those annoy the hell out of me.

Then why are you playing bioware games? That's their most consistent character type.

ViconiaBastallasilkfoxAshleyMorriganJackMirandaIsabella is the most consistent character type.

It will eventually try to steal your car?

What is Cole exactly anyway?
I know he can turn invisible but can he also turn intangible and teleport?
Does he have a substantial body or presence in Thedas?
Or is the general rule of thumb that when a demon manages to take over a body it's theirs and they have an anchor in Thedas after that?

Not really. Only ones I can truley think that were whiny emos were Fenris and Anders aside from that everyone else was fine in my book. Zevran was depressed but he wasn't annoying about it.

1. That's one smart duck. I should of ran it over with my car when I had the chance.<_<

2. He is a being from the plane of the fade, aka a spirit. Whether he is a benevolent or malevolent  spirit is a toss up.

He never showed he was depressed and hid it behind a smile.

I never said he was not depressed , just that he never showed it. (Maybe if he did show it earlier my city femelf warden would of gone with him.)

Added, no one is more depressed then the dalish elf who romances Alistar and didn't do the dark ruitual and took Alstar with her to the final battle.

I'm holding out for a demon of party. Some sort of jager bomb demon. The shameless demon of whisky shots and regrettable decisions.

That would probably fall under desire.

Procrastination demon causes the Inquisitor to put off all quests in favor of redecorating the Keep and picking up worthless hobbies. The world will burn.


That's basically a Sloth Demon.

Revenue Demons (Inland and Internal) will take what you have and leave you with nothing.

Some interpretations of the sin, sloth, do have to deal with sadness as in wallowing in self pity that you don't do anything good therefore showing how unworthy person is. With everything going wrong in Thedas it is not so unthinkable that a new type of demon would emerge.

They're not... uh, what? Sexually active, competant female? That's not a character type. They have signifianctly different personalities.

Yea, thinking back I suppose it's just DA2 and ME2/3. I guess they stick out more in my mind since they're more reecent.

The desire to be able to go back in time when your Inquisitor wakes up next to the Arishok and the White Divine?

A demon of sadness? A fifth of whiskey will clear that right up.


Looking at the thread title and then your profile pic, I can't help but laugh.

I'm thinking she qualifies as a Demon of Sadness.
