They did went to the city, but the truth is that no one was there (even the demons are afraid of it, likely because of the taint as Avernus states in his journals), and it was aways black, aways corrupted. I have my own theory of what the black city actually is, but it's an long story.

So, only part of the tale is right. When you ask Giselle about it after Haven, she acts in complete denial over the mere possibility that the Chantry tales are wrong. So I believe there is an real story behind the legend, I even believe there is an real Maker, but surely not as an onimpotent God as the Chantry preaches. I just want the real story to be told. The moment BW went out of their way to disprove the elven gods was the moment they stopped being ambiguous to me. I think they should just give us the truth and be done with it.

 

The in-game legend says that the City turned black because the magisters went there. That's it. Nothing Corypheus says discredits this. He says that the City was black when they got there, but that doesn't mean it was black to begin with. Their presence could have actually made it black, or maybe it was golden at one point but something else corrupted it before the magisters got there (so all they would have seen was black).

 

If anything, Corypheus' words give a teeny-tiny bit of credence to the idea that the Maker is real. Or, rather, that the Golden City was His seat. Like I said, it's circumstantial evidence at best and doesn't concretely prove anything, but it's something to go on.

The hardcore fan fic people who cling to any idea about a character regardless of how dumb and out-of-character it is, yeah.

 

I say this as a "fan fic person", in the sense that I've written fics. The weird romance fixation in fan fiction disturbs me, but it's mostly harmless. 

 

Then again, whenever I write my fics, I just reuse Shepard/Inquisitor/Hawke as the protagonists the same way they are in the game, and whenever there's a romance, I just stick with a character whom the protagonist can actually have a romantic establishment with (Miranda/Cassandra/Isabela, respectively), so it isn't character-breaking or totally out of left field. I don't go out of my way to make a character gay or bisexual or pursue some weird incestuous relationship.

 

But then my fan fics are really just post-epilogue short stories. I use established canon at every opportunity and only invent characters and settings that are original to the story I'm trying to tell.

 

Yeah, I don't want to generalize it.. because I've thought of doing stuff like you did as well. And I've seen people with great story ideas. I kind of make a distinction. Like you're just expanding. Not replacing anything. 

 

Hell, you could link me to your stuff if you wish. :D

They will be Howling at the moon, if they don't get something soon.


Boohoo.

I don't particularly care if they get closure beyond solas being decapitated or no.

What would Cassandra think about the prospect of wielding Certainty?

Like.. symbolically.. well, I don't think she's a very Certain person. 

 

But she'd love it as a tool. :D

I'm not sure about that, if the sword is what it's implied to be.

Certainly it's a strong contender for the most storied, and possibly the most evil, item in the setting. Red lyrium idol to an ancient dwarven civilization implied to have turned people into rock wraiths, sword that drove Meredith crazy and helped wreck Kirkwall, sword reforged by Corypheus and given to Samson for the task of helping Corypheus conquer Thedas...

Cassandra is a warrior, so it only stands to reason that the Inquisitor would give her fine weapons and armor as gifts from time to time. Only the best for the fair Seeker.

That smile suggests she's either having poetry read to her, or that she's about to vanquish some evil.

   Or maybe the inquisitor is both reading poetry and vanquishing evil for her,or they are both doing both together?

Boohoo.

Careful..they can bite..and maim..and send crowd funded beastality dolls to your house.  :P

I imagine something like this:

 

 

Only instead of them getting married, the Inquisitor is reciting love poetry while they cut down a legion of undead.

Really? I think having Leliana-as-Divine presiding over the marriage while raining arrows on said legion would make it perfect.

*Battle sounds; Leliana is in a tree, firing arrows at a mob of darkspawn while the Inquisitor and Cassandra hack away with their swords*

 

Inquisitor: *pant; grunt of exertion* Why is it that whenever we try to take a moment for ourselves, we ALWAYS end up fighting an army of bad guys?

 

Leliana: *nocks an arrow on bowstring and fires* So this sort of thing happens to you often? You should have let me tag along in the field more often.

 

Inq: *narrowly dodging a slash by a hurlock; grunt* Ehh, we're used to it at this point *decapitates and kicks away a genlock*. May as well finish the proceeding while you're up there. Shouldn't be much longer.

 

Cassandra: Really? You think now is a good time to get married?

 

Inq: Nothing says "I love you" like killing a hundred darkspawn alongside the Divine.

 

Leliana: Hurry up and kiss her! The tension is killing me!

I would approve of this, except it's undermined by the fact that Skyhold is never, ever in danger from anyone.

They don't have to be in Skyhold.

That was mostly in reference to the "whenever we try to take a moment for ourselves" line.

 

I would be tempted to romance Cassandra with my human mage, but I'd find the lack of acknowledgement from future games too vexing. Then again, I suppose there's nothing stopping a mod that alters your Keep import state when you load it into the game, to accept that kind of thing...

There are two people in Val Royeaux that talks about the Inquisitor and Cassandra getting married, and what kind of wedding they would have.

It's funny that you think to test an already horribroke import system. By adding in a romance that goes against the gender of the Inquisitor you'll be importing.

Yes. You've to go to Val Royeaux without Cassandra. And since you're playing as a human, you should had heard two people talking in Skyhold about your relationship with Cassandra.

You don't have to go without Cassandra. As with most things, she stands there and says nothing during the exchange.

The only times I've heard people mention the relationship is when I go around and ask companions about it. Do you know what they say?
