I know I'm probably late to the party on this but I love Cassandra's groans at the bear puns in Jaws of Hakkon.

Cassandra was not happy to discover that the Inquisitor covered her in body-paint while napping. She's now frantically searching all of Thedas for them, intending to use the Herald of Andraste's backside as a sheathe for her sword...

 

Meanwhile in Skyhold, the master of disguise takes a quick breather;

Robert Downey Jr. is the Inquisitor?

 

I'm okay with this.

If anyone manages recreate RDJr in CC, they will officially win the internets.

 

Would definitely suit a rogue Trevelyan?

Would RDJr be a rogue though, what about a Warrior or a mage?

As Sherlock or as Iron Man, he loves dem gadgets, he's definitely an Artificer.

What I originally wrote was:

"To clarify, I believe I wrote about the religious institution (the Chantry) with its childish notion of greater good (a notion that runs poisonous, through Cassandra's head) ruining the relationship between the Inquisitor and Cassandra. I thought I asked a good question, how can you call this so called 'greater good' good, when it destroys the good between individuals? This is why I love the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia does not care for the socially inculcated mores that boil down to fatuous semantics (greater and lesser), above all, he cares for those close to him, and he follows his own Wicther's code. Why? His world (also his life) sucks, it is filled with perpetual horror and death, it is better to traverse such a world in good company. "

Which is true, Geralt does not care for greater good (it's the same in the books), he cares about his friends and 'family', he would never purposely sacrifice them for any sort of political agenda, because they are the most important people in his life. Geralt would never sacrifice his love for Yennefer, to say, become the 'pope' of the Eternal Fire because the unwashed peasants (who would happily burn , most of the people Geralt loves, due to faith and superstition) need to feel 'hope'...

Cassandra is a hypocrite because she believes that what she does, worshiping the Maker (her character revolves around unreason, faith) leaving the Inquisitor to become Divine, is for the greater good. When in reality, if there is any truth to what the Chantry teaches, that there is a Maker who once lived in the 'Golden City', then he is an unjust being who created the Darkspawn and Corypheus & Co. in the first place. Cassandra has to be the guardian of the Chant and the Chantry's teachings, which say that the Maker created the Darkspawn,  what Cassandra and most people in the DA universe perceive as the greatest evil in all of Thedas. Meaning that the being Cassandra worships, the being that constitutes 'greater good' is the very same being who created the world's greatest evil, to punish, not simply the few who committed the 'act of breaking and entering' but punishes countless people from its inception onward. A blight that poisons and kills people who were never involved with the original so called 'crime/sin'. And of course, the Chantry says that all the people of Thedas are to blame for the world's ills (because of 'evil mages', and 'killing Andreste'), they must all be uber masochistic about it so that someday the lovely Maker will come back with his blushing bride. This is all Chantry canon, no reforms will change it, and it's what Cassandra will beome (as I said) the guradian of. If her faith is true, then she is worse than just an unreflecting individual.

As for Witcher spoilers, you can blame Br3dmax (who brought up one of Ciri's endings in the Witcher 3) for that; I was merely stating that I liked Geralt's heuristic more, which just so happens to be the prevailing theme in the Witcher series (there is no greater good, no ending can really be called good) over Dragon Age's black and white, greater good, good and evil.

Last but not least, you never answered why you got involved in the this conversation in the first place. You already knew that it was 'heated' yet you dove right on in.

 

I was gone for a few days and I haven't caught up yet.

 

First of all, thanks for explaining your point of view. So now I think that your comparison of Cass and Geralt is not based on a foundation that allows for comparison in the first place. You do not speak about their actions but their belief systems. This makes little sense. You compare a purely logical/rational approach to life (Geralt) to compassion and faith (Cass), which holds no water. People, especially if driven by strong emotions (Cass), do not act rationally and merely based on facts. In any case, it still holds what I said before: both (Cass and Geralt) are egoistic and do what they consider to be most important for themselves. They both sacrifice what is necessary to stay true to themselves. The only difference is what is most important for them.

 

Your argument about Cass being a hypocrite I cannot comprehend. The Maker loved the people once (left them when they didn't live up to their expectations), and punished them for their failings (see what Ventus said about the Bible). He's basically like a parent in this. Loves the child, but punishes it to teach a lesson. Only being a god his punishments are a bit more severe. Anyway, let's ignore this for now and only look at Cass being the child in this analogy. "Hypocrite" implies double standards and some intentional... lying, as it is. But that is not what she does. She believes, like the child believes/trusts/loves the parent. The negative aspects do not contradict this. Cass does not pretend to believe or pretend to be good. She does what she considers right following her beliefs. She does not preach water and drink wine. At least I know no example. So I don't know how the word "hypocrite" can apply to her at all. You can prefer Geralts approach to life, that's fine, but it's not quite fair how you attack Cass.

 

About the last: why I got involved? Because I was interested and confused. I did not understand your comparison (like I still think you compare apples and oranges) but wanted to understand it. I like both games, was interested in speaking about them, and wished to participate.

I did not "know it was heated", probably because I did not realize emotions were involved. Let me apologize for being so detached and unemotional.

However, even if I had noticed this, would it mean I'm not allowed to speak up? I "dived right into it" because, see above, I wanted to understand and participate in the discussion for the mere purpose of intellectual exchange. I thought this were what a public discussion board were for. If you instead wished to have a private debate with Bread without others joining in you should have taken it to PM or put a disclaimer that others should not reply.

True, but  tha place is just toxic.

Actually, cats are pretty awesome. But the older I get the more  I see the wisdom in the old saying, you're either a cat person, or a dog person.

Do to the fact that I said "I prefer Geralt's heuristic(= personal belief) to life" (which implies that they would have to be opposites) over Cassandra's, and spent a lot of time explaining how they are "apples and oranges", I don't see why you wrote this response. Keeping up silly appearances? Cassandra is supposed to be someone who devotes herself to a greater good, yet worships the creature that cursed her world with the Darkspwan, and she never reflects on any of it, that is the problem. You saying that the Maker's punishment is absolved if he is described as a parent is absurd. Your analogy would be better if you said that the Maker is an 'abusive parent' that likes to have his children raped, tortured and mutated. But I guess that would make, "give this parent a free pass in court because he is a parent" sound even worse, wouldn't it? You saying that the Maker being a God makes said punishment only "a bit more sever" does not even begin to cover its outlandish severity (i.e. rape, forced cannibalism, mutation, and torture all for breaking and entering. Oh yes, all those people who weren't involved in the so called crime, get this punishment as well). Cassandra being a hapless child when it comes to life, is about the only good analogy you maid, except it was made to try and absolve Cassandra of her 'inability to think'. It doesn't. Don't make me explain this again.
