The common people ain't good enough?

Well, they're among the commonest of people, so one would hope it'd exist. In addition to her elvenness actually meaning something to the plot.

[AresKeith]

So, will she have any sort of affection for elven society in particular? That is the main question...

 

Elven society like the Dalish or in general?

I'd been thinking city elven primarily.

I think they're part of the "common people"

Well her being an elf will probably be important since she's the only city elf we ever had ...

I'm excited by this , because Fenris and Merrill , for example , didn't seem to care much about city elves.

On the other hand , I'd like her to treat poor humans and elves the same way.

I mean the Fereldan refugee in Kirkwall didn't have it so much better than the elves.They might have a better chance to have something else in the future.

But still ,it wasn't fancy.

Not quite. Merrill expresses how much she cares about the elves in the Alienage, thinks their plight is important, and makes friends with people who live there. Fenris doesn't, but he is grappling with his inner demons, since it takes him several years in Kirkwall to come to terms with his freedom from Danarius. I am interested to see how Sera's elven heritage plays a role in her story, and in dealing with potential elven factions, like Briala's network.

Sera likely has experience with humans from her associate with FoRJ, since the representative in Kirkwall was human (and likely humans from elven and human parents who live in the Alienage).

[disgruntled-gamer]

No it doesn't.

 

If you don't think it does you don't get out very often

I don't think that's fair to say. The first thought that came to mind with the catchphrase was that it referenced her attitude towards life, not who she was attracted to.

Just getting a better presentation of Alienages or Briala's group with Sera would be helpful.

Well Merril lived like a hermit.She was in her own little world most of the time , even if she had sympathy...I was disappointed for example , since she was trained as a keeper , she never felt the urge to educate elves around her.

I mean at least teaching them to read or something?

I think I told her to do that by the end of act 3.

 

I like Fenris a lot  , but he was such a snob.Even if he was a slave , he was living among nobility , and it shows sometimes.

 

About Briala , I don't like her.If she could slip on a banana peel and disappear forever , I wouldn't mind.She also spend her life among human nobility and same as Fenris was sometimes just out of touch about the city elves.(and I want the eluvians for Merrill)

 

Sera seems streetsmart ,and just more cool and down to earth.

No, it's just you.

 

If you look up on TV Tropes, which is still not a great example, but since it's open source and anyone can add their input, there's nothing to specify sexuality. And if it hasn't been added yet by the general populace, it's not something that usually applies to this stock character archetype.

 

Ergo, being labelled "the Wild Card" isn't indicative of one's sexuality. It may delve into how they approach romance, but not sexuality.

Merrill suggested that Sebastian name his bow Philomela after one of the women she knew in the Alienage, and she reassures Nyssa that Hawke is friendly, so she wasn't really much of a hermit.

Fenris was in a lot of pain. I didn't condone his conduct at times (especially towards Merrill), but I understood he was dealing with a lot of anguish over his actions as a slave of Danarius, especially when he told about what he had done to the Fog Warriors.

 

About Briala , I don't like her.If she could slip on a banana peel and disappear forever , I wouldn't mind.She also spend her life among human nobility and same as Fenris was sometimes just out of touch about the city elves.(and I want the eluvians for Merrill)

 

Briala wasn't perfect, but if she's trying to help the elves, then I'd like to see her in Inquisition.

Sera does seem to have her own network of rogues, so she could be a leader as well.

Ditto.
It also made me think about the Wildcard option in Fallout: New Vegas that had nothing to do with sexuality and everything to do about doing things your own way instead of being the puppet or follower of one organization or the other.

[TheJediSaint]

Here I thought Wildcard meant that she's likely to dye Varric's hair purple or put itching powder in Cassandra's armor.

My favorite path for New Vegas.

I'd say you wouldn't be that far off in terms of Sera's characterisation, though.

Mine too, it's the most satisfying one as far as I'm concerned.

I'd like to see Inquisition offer that kind of freedom for the Inquisitor - having the versatility to side with factions, make choices that have an impact on the region and the people who inhabit them, and to act without being beholden to anyone. The neutrality of the Inquisition, the developers talking about the player's freedom to side with factions like the mages or templars, and having areas that are optional like the Highlands, does give me some confidence that some of this may be possible.

 

Given the potential for friendship with Sera, I'd like to see how Sera reacts to this as well, especially if the protagonist has the choice to help the elves in the Dales. I wonder if she agree with the goal, or would it fall under her motto: "For her, it's not about what's right, it's about what's right now".

[bairdduvessa]

Well, you did pull a Cassandra, so...

it wasn't intentional

Not everyone looks at the world exclusively through the prism of their race. And it kind of undermines the notion of her being for "the common people" if she is really only favoring the "commonest."

That's not entirely the point. It isn't a matter of favoring only the city elves, but a matter of having any sort of specific regard for them at all; it wouldn't undermine, say, the human noble PC's status as champion of the people if said PC was fighting primarily for Ferelden, rather than Orlais.

[Illyria]

"... She's sassy, she's a little trashy. She likes the dirty jokes. But she's very distinct from someone like Isabella. She's very different. She's much more for the people, about the common good. And when you have a whole party of people that are kind of like Lords and Ladies, she has her own kind of network of spies and stuff that she relies upon that are completely different from anyone else. Meaning that her demeanor, her attitude is kinda like a breath of fresh air in the Inquisition. Everyone is like very serious and then she comes along and is like, 'I bought you a hat!'"

 

...

Warning for a bit of profanity. Thought this was hilarious though!
