......Lots of Cullenite pages to catch up on before Inquisition comes out! My fellow Cullenites are the primary reason I occasionally visit the BSN. Thank you for providing me with plenty of reading and eyecandy to get me through till November
But I have a Dragoncon to attend in a few days! Will catch up on everything when I get back.
*Waves*
Agree. It makes so much more sense for them to let people work out their disappointments in advance. Can you imagine if everyone found out about Varric ingame? Whoa.I have no idea. I don't understand why they are holding the information when every other romances are revealed. I hope they would give info of last romances and race-gating since I'm scared that my qunari ladies won't have anyone to romance XD

I think I would be a bit annoyed if I spent my whole time hitting on a character and rejecting any other in hopes that they would eventually respond and then realise too late that it was never going to happened and ruined any chance with the LIs
I'm mostly on Twitter to see what the devs have to say... and make sure Allan Shumacher goes to bed at a reasonable hour...
(it doesn't work
)
Well, it sounds like a worthy goal, even if it doesn't work.

I don't know..while I think that I would be pretty annoyed if this happened to me in game with say, Cullen- I think it would be pretty true to life.
But then again I don't play video games to have realistic life experiences. Hahah.

What's an inquisitor question?
What's an inquisitor question?
Answering questions about your inquisitor(s).
What's an inquisitor question?
Generally speaking, its questions that allow you to explore and delve into your planned Inquisitors personality, likes/dislikes, motivations, that sort of thing.
Dirge comes up with some crackers, they really get you thinking. It also helps people like me create a character.
Answering questions about your inquisitor(s).
Oh! Well duh, I guess. I think it's neat to think about your inquisitor. Mine isn't really set in stone but I have an idea and these questionnaires only help me develop my idea. Bring it on!
Edited for grammar. Sentences are fun.
Okay! Well, in light of the demo I have one that has to do with dialogue and undead. Kind of. If you squint.Inquisitor Question TimeAlready forced into a situation where they have to lead an organisation with historical roots and that many once feared, I'm certain that might wear on the nerves of even the hardiest soldier. How does your Inquisitor deal with stress and uneasy situations when they're also forced to keep a brave face for their leadership role? Do they become more terse and short with their fellows? Do they deflect with humour? Do they grow quiet and hope that their companions will mistake silent panic for quiet concentration?Bonus:If their reactions were different before they were forced to be a leader, how did they react to stress and uneasy situations before the Inquisition? And how do they swallow that natural reaction so they can pretend they're a strong leader now? Do they bother to pretend?Bonus bonus:Every leader has their breaking point, when things become too much, how would they calm down their nerves after a particularly gruelling confrontation?
Oh, good questions!
My inquisitor (Marigold, 22, Human, Rogue, Female) comes from a sheltered yet loving family life where duty, family, and loyalty come first. But when she's thrust into this world as this leader she neither asked for nor has any experience with, she will (as expected) have momentary bouts of panic, despair, hopelessness and fragility. But I think her reaction to it will be to put on a brave face and panic in private. She's been taught her whole life to not let it show and to put on a good face and I think that will serve her well. I think once she develops close, intimate relationships with some of her fellow party members she may go to them for advice and support. But she'll slowly learn to adapt and to trust herself and her instincts.
I think it'll be interesting to see how she'll react when things become too much- it's one of the things I'll have to adapt to as her player to see how the game molds her and her experiences.
Fun question! Thanks for asking!

Zhenya? Definitely would deal with stress with humor, but a tense situation by getting the advice of the person best able to evaluate that situation. She wouldn't show the stress openly, you don't survive the Carta by showing weaknesses. Except that she would give her companions and advisers a certain level of trust in providing good advice instead of only relying on herself, it wouldn't be much different.
Later? Jokes in the immediate aftermath, but once back in camp, definitely getting drunk and having some fun to get rid of the nerves (eat, drink, and be merry because tomorrow someone will stick a shiv in you).
Oohh, good question!
My girl will definately have to wear the brave face, she is lacking in almost every quality she thinks a leader should have.
She will make leadership decisions reluctantly if she has to but if there is advice given by someone who she sees as more worldly or experienced than her (mostly everyone lol), I think she will definately take that advice over her own plans or ideas.
Most of the time she will stay pretty grim and straight-faced in front of the others, she lacks confidence in many aspects of her life and I don't see her being able to pretend otherwise, she will look for confirmation that she has done something right or good.
She scribbles thoughts onto paper, so I imagine there will be many mini novels written as she gets the panic of battles & situations out of her head and onto paper, that has been her therapy for dealing with stressful things throughout her life, I see her continuing with that, certainly in the shorter term.
She is funny but she won't recognise that in herself to begin with so any attempts at humouring a situation would be few and far between and either be badly timed, almost cringeworthy or just fall flat. I can imagine many eye-rolls from her companions.
My hope is, as she builds bonds with the companions/advisors, I see Cullen & Varric being very good for her, if they believe in her, she hopefully will start to believe in herself, becoming quite confident and assertive.
I think she will be a strong leader as the game progresses, although her heart may rule her head more than it should.
Varric will be a bad influence on her and introduce her to a wee drink after battle, for good or ill lol.

Yea, finding in game that you can't romance someone wouldn't be so nice and would probaply end up -for me at least- messing up whole romancing in that playthrough ^^; Also I like planning my characters in advance so I'd love to get more info soon about romances.
Since he was a First, Fëanor was already in stressful situations where he was in the lead. His approach is always the same: humour to show that he's calm and relaxed to his subordinates, so that they won't freak out.Okay!

Hmm, now that I think about it, there would definitely need to be jokes about a traditional dwarven dance of death involved...
Ah, you know, the usual there, sexism, s-word shaming, bashing people who aren't like you... I'd rather leave it there.
Ah, I see. Yeah, stuff like that makes going there unpleasant.

You said approval won't be a fixed number anymore, but in the gamescom demo we saw +5 for Cole. Could you clarify that?
Mike Laidlaw @Mike_Laidlaw
Debug. Final version says “approves”. We still track approval behind the scenes. Computers are pretty bad at “feels.”
That's interesting
I actually like this far better than numbers. I just assume that the player will notice a character's approval or disapproval only through the character's actions. So, instead of saying 'Cole approves', Cole will say something like: "I think it's really great that you spared the poor fellow". At least I hope that it works like that. I don't think there will be a bar. In theory, you could tell how much other characters approve based on their reactions. That makes the whole thing way more realistic.
