Cassandra for next DA installment!

[Colonelkillabee]

The Chantry was opposed to it because the Herald was accused of causing the whole, if the Divine was still alive they would have the Chantry backing them up along with their allies

There's a number of reasons they were opposed to it.

 

The Messiah effect. Anyone that ever instills more hope than the church will always be opposed at first unless you kiss their ass.

 

Threat to their power. Their Templars were in disarray and suddenly there's another body, small as it may be, commanding faith of the people with a so called herald of andraste.

 

Magic. Your power, they're afraid of what you can do, what you are, and the association of magic in general. People fear what they know nothing about.

 

And that's all just if you're human.

True those are also reasons behind it, but without the Breach or Cory none of those except maybe the bolded part (depending I guess) would come into play

 

Sure thing. Big organizations always like to give control away.

It's pretty far fetched to speculate here. Cassandra does mention (unless I am mistaken) that she reinstalled the Inquisition and that Chantry support had been rather sparse to begin with.

 

A big organization under the Divine since it was her idea

 

OTOH, you could have had a more typical murder mystery/political assassination...which throws all the peace process out the window to boot.

 

And the Inquisition steps to investigate. Not knowing who to blame, you open a can of whoopass on everyone. Also, torture chambers.

 

 

But people love monstrous villains, so whatever. Just thinking outloud.

 

Can you stop pointing fingers at everything

The only land of a thousand dances I know is a badass Patti Smith song.

 

Ouch! Take that back. Nice cover but still:

I don't think the inquisition would have much ground to even be threatening without the inquisitor so that's true.

 

Then again, Cassandra and Leliana might be enough. Especially since Cassandra is a hero and well respected.

I knew someone would dislike that closing comment.

 

I almost deleted it because... I just knew.

 

Way to be predictable.

I don't see the big deal with the comment to be honest.

Without the breach and Corypheus the Divine would still be alive for gaining support to stop the Mage/Templar war

Now that I've thought about it, the Divine did get the Mages/Templars to put their hate aside for the meeting. Maybe the peace talk would had been successful, if Corypheus didn't interfere. The Mages/Templars blames each other for the death of the Most Holy. 

[Colonelkillabee]

I prefer a response to the rest of the post.

 

But I knew typing that would distract him... Oh well. 

I'll take anything over Cornflakes.. I was praying that wouldn't be the big bad, then the achievements came out and... ugh.

 

Only thing that saved the campaign for me and why I liked it so much was their tackling of faith. Just too bad we couldn't have a worthy villain to go with that.

 

And anyway you're right. People say they don't like big bads, but sales don't lie.

Maybe, but the fade text makes me think otherwise. It was honestly probably doomed to fail from the start. Like most idealistic drivel from people like Divine Justinia.

They might have met but what compromise would have appeased both factions? Mages wanted freedom, templars wanted to kill mages or put them back in circles.

It isn't the commment, it's the fact he keeps pointing fingers

[Colonelkillabee]

Dude, this is him on his best behavior. Lol I'd suggest you get over it and enjoy it

 

 

I think he is a worthy villain...just that his presence isn't felt enough. He's got all the issues of Faith that coincide with your own storyarc.

 

 

My only point is if I had a choice, I'd prefer more wars and politics between the factions and humans.. The Inquisition isn't a tale that necessarily needed a big bad villain like this. It works, but there was more set up in the previous games and books with more mundane conflicts.

They had the same problem Alduin did from Skyrim. Presentation. And overly awesome mary sue protagonists. They should have let that demon army be summoned. That would have been awesome.

 

A demon invasion's no fun when the invasion doesn't even go under full swing.

That juggalo avatar is distracting.

 

...

 

Juggalo avatar? Do you know what a juggalo is?

 

Unless someone changed their avatar from last night when I was last on, nobody has a juggalo avatar here.

At first I was meh about him being the big bad, but he was decent

 

The real problem was that they just made his forces fumble at everything after we reach Haven

 

There wasn't any occasions where he gains the upper hand

Yeah, after seeing that I wish Bioware didn't that stupid thing either

Not all Mages wanted freedom, and not all Templars wanted to kill the mages. What Cassandra does as Divine would had been the best solution for everyone. Give the Mages a lot more freedom in the circle, and give the Templars more duties than watching over the Mages.
