Oh dear goodness, when he said that all I could think was "You're right, jeez I do freaking care about you, you stupid little ghost boy"
I mean... my inquisitor thought that...
Cole is just too precious. Of all the companions he turns out to be more human than anyone else. I just love the kid to bits
In many ways AO3 is the system we all would've designed. I think the downside is that the tags are *too* free form. Which makes it hard to search. There are like 10 different types of Dragon Age tags, in addition to all the character and pairing variations. I can't stand browsing there, TBH, Altho I love posting there.
Ah yeah I could understand that. Especially, if you go tag happy and note every character and format scheme that enters your work.
Suppose they could work on narrowing things down. Although, admittedly I don't read any DA fanfictions. For that matter I'm not much of a fanfiction reader anymore, so I haven't really tried browsing it.
I didn't think I'd like Cole, but yeah, he's kind of grown on me.
After listening to Blackwall and Dorian swap insults most of the way across the Hissing Wastes, I just got an opportunity to comment on their bickering - wish there was more of that in-game. Or am I bugged despite the patch and the hotfix??

I agree. I didn't get to reply to stuff nearly as much as I wanted to (or did in my head).

Aw, Cole. He really is just an innocent kid looking for guidance and understanding, despite his unsettling ingihts into everyone's minds.
I can completely understand why most of the companions are wary around him though.
Think I'd be downright mortified if someone announced my deepest feelings and thoughts.

Yes he did... and then Cole proceeds to get all up in his business. I loved it. ^.^

Why do I want to imagine Cullen standing there and doing his best to think anything other other than the Inquisitor?

I saw many people on the forum writing stuff like "Imma gonna kill it" and other shitty things. I am one of those people who thinks you should play how you want to. But seriously you are going to miss out on one of the most precious and in my opinion best things in the game if you don't recruit and give the boy a chance. He actually wants to help and doesn't ask anything in return. the things he does for people at skyhold and even your companions I find them touching and sweet. Now I feel like crying and hugging Cole. Cole why are you so preciousssss

and then fails miserably at doing so
I know, right!?
I swear it came across (to me at least) like they were together because they just were, not because they were actually happy together. Like one of those relationships ships where you love each other sure, but like? Nah, not really.
I'm assuming it's different if you put that she supported the explosion stuff.
I did and I still got that she wasn't happy, lol.

Aww it's sweet, he's trying to help. I think he grows on him after awhile. I like to think so anyway.

I have a lot of feelings about Cole, all of them are love. (Well, the ones I haven't given to Dorian at least).

Haha. Good to know. I think I'll try a playthrough where they romanced and he died. Maybe that will be better, heh.
I haven't stopped by that thread in a bit, but last I heard, BW was saying the banter bug will be addressed in the next patch (though possibly just by a flat increase to the RNG banter probability rather than trying to figure out the supposed triggering-but-not-playing thing). I'm getting a lot more banter on my second playthrough (with the current patch) but I'm not sure how much of that is just that I've been keeping my journal and inventory read and I haven't gotten Dennett / Skyhold / various other things people claim triggered the bug for them.After listening to Blackwall and Dorian swap insults most of the way across the Hissing Wastes, I just got an opportunity to comment on their bickering - wish there was more of that in-game.

She just comes off like she's staying with him out of pity because he needs her to protect him. I dunno, maybe it's just me but that's how I interpreted it.

Yeah, I can see that.
And don't forger Cole's comments about Cullen, depending on your choice with lyrium.
''Safe and solid, protecting and proud. He feels like quiet, stronger when you hold him''.
aww that's adorable
''He is quiet, behind the noise. The little bottle makes him shake, but he tests the chains''.
Oh.
''He sounds new, echoes of laughter on an empty riverbed. Not for sailing, but safer''.
Umm..
''He sounds right again with the chains in place, but the music makes him sad''.

Would you be able to elaborate on those triggers or do you have a link so I could check them out? Sometimes I get lots of banter and then sometimes it cuts out for quite a while.

I have no problems so far with its system but I do agree that the tags should be improved. What I didn't like about AO3 is the site's layout. Some of the table's looked too stretched out especially on my pc while other parts of the tables (especially the category lists) are to left aligned. It's a bit strainful for the eyes to look from left then blank empty space at the center then text way right aligned. I think its good layout wise if they make the table more centered or make the width smaller. The chapter pages are good though. I design web layouts as a side job, so things like this triggers the OCness in me xD. Other than that I'm good with it

Same here, I always feel like a mother hen with Cole especially when he acts all innocent.
Spoiler
I remember getting it right after I let Cole into the party (I sided with the templars in this play though, so it was what he said when I first went and talked to him)

Oh good lord, that last one is sad.
Geez.
I haven't heard any of those but the first one. I'm kinda happy about that...
The OP here collects the main things that have actually worked for people; I think most of the "triggers" might be superstition but if you skim through the thread you'll see them eventually: http://forum.bioware...op-design-edit/Would you be able to elaborate on those triggers or do you have a link so I could check them out? Sometimes I get lots of banter and then sometimes it cuts out for quite a while.
Has anyone made any sense out of this one? I like it just as much if it's a strictly associative thing but I was wondering if there was a concrete reference to Cullen and a river or sailing (other than Varric's comment) that I missed, or a specific analogy that makes more sense than other possibilities. Does it still occur with non-romanced Cullens?''He sounds new, echoes of laughter on an empty riverbed. Not for sailing, but safer''.
