The banter I'm talking about mention fighting affecting the fade and leading to hunger and rage. Start here.

 

For the other thing, there seems to be different level of "spirit inside someone body" possession. Some lead to split personalities (Anders/Justice), some lead to literal possession (mage turning into monsters) and some lead to a merge (Flemeth, Wynne). The Seekers are probably of the merge category if they are "abominations".

 

There is also Cole saying that Cassandra is the same as him but backward. He less or more think of her as Faith in a few banter.

 

But aren't Seekers are only touched by a spirit? Or does it remain?

Just wanted to know If anyone else used Cassandra as a sort of moral compass when making decisions.

She seems to have a decent idea of how right and wrong should be in the world. I often found myself feeling like I made the "right choice" whenever Cassandra approved of my actions and wrong when she didn't.

 

Maybe 75% of the time. I see my character as more Chantry traditionalist than her. I don't like the extent of her tolerance or reformist ideals, but she is much more virtuous.

There are choices in the game that she will approve in one playthrough and disapprove in another. Flirting seems race based (unless it's based on a dialogue option early on that could be possible). The well is unclear, I believed it was romance based, but she disapproved of Morrigan drinking in my game. In other word, her concept of right and wrong is super complex and mutable.

It's unclear what "touched by a spirit" means or if it remains. The entire Seeker storyline is strange. An unknown group of crazies shows up to destroy the Seekers, they are apparently working for Cory and you meet the guy supposedly in charge of the Seekers/Templar, but the first thing he does it giving a book to Cassandra telling her to read it and then proceed to try to kill her...O_o.

She's not actually possessed. Cole means that she began to think more like a spirit, just like he thought more like a human. Neither actually became the other.

I just thought it was a way to waken the tranquil. To me, she doesn't seem possessed. Not even in a subtle way. 

 

I also think whatever process they put her through didn't have longterm effects. She had to work through various issues on her own in DotS. I think the person of faith and kindness she eventually became is her own efforts. Even now, she's a work in progress.

I don't think a god-king, whatever that means, has the knowledge to judge mages who are all far weaker than he is. And abominations happen all the time in Rivian. They just act like they're natural events and there's no way of stopping them. In Tevinter, abominations also still happen, but magisters and lesser mages also do a good job of killing each other.

 

Rivain knows a lot more about spirits and possession that the rest of Thedas. If they have physical objects that can keep unbound spirits from being corrupted I'd say they're more advanced in these schools of magic than you're giving them credit for.

 

And when I say god-king think pharaohs from our world except with real magic and immortality.

They also have a lot more abominations. What did it accomplish?

Except that doesn't matter because Solas is an extremely powerful mage as compared to the sniveling children we meet in Origins who get excited by the prospect of not burning themselves four times in one day.

Forreal? Let me borrow that game when you're done playing it. I'd like to see how many abominations there are in Rivain myself.

Wynne wasn't an abomination. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to separate the spirit from herself, just like any other abomination. Possessed =/= a spirit inside you.

You must have missed the part in Asunder where she flat out says "I am an abomination."

Well, when you find some proof to disprove her, please let me know.

She willingly split the spirit from herself and put it into a vessel with no magical potential. An abomination would not and cannot do that. I don't care about what her opinion is. By your logic, Anders isn't an abomination.

Or you could listen to all of the talk about Rivain being abomination central in Asunder. That works too. They willingly allow themselves to be possessed, and treat abominations like natural disasters. Or are you really one of those, "Well they don't care, so those mages were doing fine?"

I forgot she said that in Asunder. 

 

She was more remote and more singleminded in that story though.

Wasn't Cole's initial (and wrong) assumption that Cass was who she is because she was touched by the Spirit of Faith? As he said, like him, but the other way around.

 

But he then corrected himself later by saying that it was because of Cassandra's faith that the spirit found her. That "it was her all along".

 

Not sure what the implication of this is, though.

She's still touched by the spirit. This is just Cole saying that Cassandra is not faithful just because she was touched by Faith. I think she was worried that her being faithful came from the spirit, not from who she really is. And Cole reassures her that she is in nature a faithful woman. At least that's how I understood the conversation.

 

(Basically, Cole's banter with Cassandra is him saying she's not a bad person. So she shouldn't feel bad. Haha.)

Are we all agreed that Cassandra has, like, the best armour designs in this game? Cause she does.

Giver her some shades, and she'll look like Trinity from The Matrix.

That's the only longcoat-esque thing I've managed to make for her so far. Which is a shame because it's hella stylish.

 

Usually it just goes to her default look.

Pretty sure that's the same armor design. Also, random drops have that too.
