I hope it is Celene... assuming we get to learn a few things about her beforehand, I can't see my quizzy being very diplomatic around her; he'll probably ruin everything by insulting her and accusing her of being heartless towards the elves lol But my second quizzy will be more fun and will enjoy matching wits with her.

 

Also what if we don't have a LI... who would we dance with then? So I hope it is Celene.

Meh, I don't know about heartless, considering how she has been getting city elves into the University.

[Hellion Rex]

I'm not sure we know that for certain, actually, which is why I phrased my answer the way I did.

IIRC, Gaspard makes a comment at one point about saying that getting Celene to marry him was hopeless or something because he was the wrong gender.

I'm not sure I'd heard about that before, interesting and raises my opinion of her a little. Though I'm not sure how much that helps if they'll still be excluded from most positions afterwards...

When he learns what she did to Halamshiral.....

spoilering because better safe than sorry...

Spoiler

In tME, she has a female elven lover named Briala, but I believe Briala leaves Celene at the end of the book (for good reasons).

 

 

Spoiler

She's a lesbian

She could be bisexual and not a lesbian. but I am curious if she might at least flirt with a female inquistor?

 

In either case, I would love to match wits with the empress as my inquistor

Also I don't know how impressed he'll be with a shem funneling elves into her shem school *racist little quizzy*

Well, education opens doors... and minds Even if a person is barred from applying to various positions because of her race, she now has an advantage she didn't have before... KNOWLEDGE!!! Knowledge is power

Well, that sorts of explain why the dev won't making a dress for F!inquisitor too. It's quite hard for two girls dancing together with two sets of elaborate ballroom gown. I've tried once with a girl friend and it's quite risky since one of us will eventually step on the other's dress.

 

Anyway funny how it's the inquisitor who takes the lead since leading involve elaborate knowledge of how to dance. The leaded partner needs not necessarily knows how to dance perfectly, but the leading partner needs to know exactly how to do that. For all we can have a dalish elf who doesn't know how to dance at all (recipe for broken neck).

 

Imagine empress Celene dance with a dwarf?

Too true! And once you know how the system works, you can fight it more effectively.

That could be another issue. I'm expecting a Dalish to have, um, encounters with members of her court. Which I'm fine with as long as she can rip into them effectively, ala Vivienne/Josephine style.

Well they're only gonna animate it one way, so they're not gonna have a male quizzy lead and a female quizzy follow... and straight gamer bros (you know the type) would freak out if Celene led their male quizzy lol

Yeah I'm really looking forward to these encounters with both my quizzies!!!

@Tishina, here is the line. I got the context wrong, it doesn't explicity say that

 

Spoiler

Celene is a lesbian. She could still just be bisexual, but...

 

“Oh, Maker, it’s true?” He staggered back as if shot, roaring with laughter. “No wonder she refused to marry me!” He actually pounded the side of the coach. Briala felt herself flushing and squared her shoulders as best she could with her arms still shackled behind her as Gaspard looked back in, wiping his eyes. “I thought she was too proud, too idealistic, but I suppose my manhood was just the wrong tool for the job. I might as well have been hunting darkspawn with cold iron.” He grinned at her. “When I should’ve been carrying silverite.”

[Tishina]

Dalish Inquisitors are gonna have a field day if we get anything resembling a throne dispute to solve in Orlais, but between casually racist Celene and borderline neo-nazi Gaspard, she's still the lesser of two evils.

I've actually only read the synopsis so far, so I haven't been able to make up my mind about him.

Thanks!

Spoiler

Ah, that makes sense. It may still be that she just detests him, though, but obviously she's kept this under wraps. I assumed it had more to do with Briala being an elf.

[Tishina]

Also, there's a word I'll never look at the same way again...

Neither of them is too likable, really. The most accurate description I've heard of their dispute is "Anora vs. Alistair, if both of them were Loghain."

Ouch! Alistair as Loghain just...hurts to think of.

Spoiler

He is making assumptions here though... He discovers that Celene and Briala were/are actually lovers, and so he assumes this is why Celene turned him down. He's the type of man who can't imagine a woman turning him down because she just isn't interested... or even in Celene's case, that she chose not to marry him because she did not wish to give him more power and relinquish some of her own.

 

I think this passage said a LOT more about Gaspard than Celene.

 

But aside from this scene, I did think that Celene was a lesbian, as there was no indication that she was ever interested in men, ever. But, as we know, that's no reason to assume someone isn't bisexual...

LOL!!!! Accurate And yet there are people who love Loghain...

Interesting. I actually really liked both characters. Both were very well written in my opinion. Celene with her progressiveness in the Orlesian Empire, and Gaspard's sense of honor and rather blunt truthfulness.

I agree, absolutely, which led to my comment about her possible reasons. Like you, I just prefer not to make assumptions on inadequate data

I am curious if we get to help either celene or gaspard win the civil war?

Are you suggesting that we're insecure? I wouldn't mind if Celene led the dance.

We'll most likely have to, it's a major arc
