Angry Inquisitor time! (PC is not yet leader)

 

Spoiler

 

*in the war room: Cullen, Leliana, Cassandra, Josephine and Trevelyan are present*

 

Cassandra: We should move against those red templar troops. They are isolated and should offer little resistance,

 

Cullen: I concur. We should attack before they have a chance to organize.

 

Leliana: It would be safer to gather intelligence first. We are unsure how many there are or if there are any behemoths among them.

 

Josephine: Are you sure this is wise? We have few troops of our own and they are poorly equipped. We should gather allies before we consider an attack.

 

Cullen: We don't have the time! We must strike now!

 

Cassandra: What about you, Trevelyan? What do you think?

 

Trev: Oh? Are you asking for my opinion, Seeker Pentaghast? You did not seem to care about what I wanted when you forced me into your little organization.

 

Cassandra: It was necessary! You are the only one with the power to close the tears! You must work with us!

 

Trev: Must I? What will you do if I refuse? Kill me? That would hardly better your situation.

 

Leliana: You cannot refuse! You were given this power for a reason! You must use it! Do you wish to see the world destroyed?

 

Trev: Fair enough. Although it might yet be destroyed with you incompetents in charge. Lady Montilyet excepted.

 

Cassandra and Cullen: How dare you!

 

Trev: Excuse me? You are all Chantry agents. You all had a job to do, which you failed spectacularly at!

 

Josephine: Now really, this is hardly productive.

 

Trev *shouting*: Indeed? I beg to differ, my Lady. Captain Cullen was charged with keeping the mages in line. He failed. Seeker Pentaghast was charged with keeping the templars in line. She failed. Sister Nightingale was charged with protecting the Divine. She failed. Now, you truly expect the Inquisition to have any credibility with these idiots in charge? What little troops we have are overextended. Our fortress is a crumbling ruin. We have no war funds to speak of. The Inquisition is a joke!

 

*stunned silence*

 

Josephine: Well, what do you propose, then?

 

Trev: I will take charge of the Inquisition. This *holds up glowing hand* is our only advantage and I intend to press it. Present it as a sign from the Maker, or some sort of freak magic, whatever will get us allies. I'm counting on you, because you are the only one here with a spotless record. Make it happen, Lady Montilyet.

 

Josephine *impressed*: I will. Inquisitor. *leaves*

 

Trev *turns to the others* : Any objections? Or should I walk out right now?

 

All three *cowed*: No, Inquisitor.

 

 

Nicely done ! This will be most likely how my Inquisitor behave. They will take charge, get stuff done and kick ass. Chantry losers be damned.

Generally speaking, most groups tend to frown upon it. When Soris gets involved with a human woman, he deals with racism from humans and elves in the Alienage; when Hawke is romantically involved with Merrill, it causes controversy among the humans in Hightown. I wonder if an interracial romance will actually address it this time, or if it'll be mostly handwaved to a codex entry like it was in Dragon Age II.

True. It's one reason why I want to romance Cullen with my Tophquisitor. A human Templar and a Dalish Mage seems like the ultimate "opposites attract" thing and I'm curious how it will be dealt with.

any idea if this is true and has been stated by the devs at some point?

They need to rectify this. Next demo should have the 5 people we haven't seen in demos so far in my opinion: Blackwall, Cole, Cullen, Josephine, Solas.

We need to hear Josie talk! I want to hear that sexy accent we've heard so much about without actually hearing it.

[Allan Schumacher]

oh good! but still, it's kinda of a bad sign

 

I wouldn't read too much into it.

See? Allan himself comes to put your heart at ease!

He spends so much time on the forums it's a wonder he gets any work done. 

Just kidding. We appreciate your time, Allan.

So I was revisiting one of my favorite operas this morning-- The Marriage(s) of Figaro-- and I think I found Josephine's theme song (or at least, what she sings to herself in private )

 

"Se vuol ballare", sung here by Erwin Schrott:

Can't go wrong with Mozart!

[Jazzpha]

Nope! I like to think Cassandra has a habit of eavesdropping on classical music binges, but that's another story for another thread...

[Basement Cat]

Mind you, opera has been around since the 1500's, but it was confined to the courts. It's very possible that Josephine has an assortment of favorite arias. Italians invented the style and some of the greatest masters were Italian. Concert etiquette has varied through the ages, but usually applauding before the end of a piece was a major faux pas. I wonder if Josephine will coach us on proper behavior among the rich and powerful if we are not the human Inquisitor, who is a noble and would already know. Well, maybe except the mage, having grown up in the circle and all.

 

Or a dance lesson! That would be an awesome scene!

If I could like this post twice, I would. I can definitely see Josephine acting like as much of a culture consultant as she does like a diplomat. As an example, my Dalish Elf Inquisitor isn't going to know (or care) much about the specific social norms and expectations of human society, and especially the ridiculously complex system Orlais has going on. I fully anticipate that Josephine will have to do some "My Fair Lady"-caliber education on my Inquisitor before he's up to snuff-- assuming he then even cares about keeping up appearances, but that's for him to decide

[Basement Cat]

Elfquisitor (or other non human): Why do I have to do this? And why do Shemlen use so many bloody forks? One is enough!

 

Josephine: *sigh* As I told you, a certain standard of behavior is expected when in a noble household. You are the guest of honor and you must make a good impression.

 

Elfquisitor: Bah! Stupid Orlesians and their stupid rules! I ought to...

 

Josephine: *stern* Do you want those 200 soldiers the Countess has promised us, or would you rather do without?

 

Elfquisitor: ... Alright. Which one's the salad fork again?

They already made a companions trailer with bull, Vivienne, Sera and Blackwall. I hope they will do the same with the remaining companions and advisors

[Basement Cat]

I'm hoping we get to hear some of those banters the advisors have in Skyhold. Maybe when they show the fortress?

And hopefully one will feature Josephine.  Then we can do a mad scramble scouring youtube for the VA.

I'll be too busy replaying the video over and over to listen to her voice. It seems the BSN in general is in desperate need of a fix.

I hope so too.

I can also see Josephine serving as almost a walking codex on the different cultures, having had to study them all in being an ambassador.

She published her findings:

 

Lady Montilyet's treatise on Thedan culture and politics.

 

There's also a simplified version for the uninitiated:

 

If you cannot make friends and influence people, be quiet and look pretty.

I have this fear that we are going to have to hunt in the game.

Have to? Probably not. Be able to? Seems likely. Unless you count putting down an attacking animal as hunting? It's not Far Cry 3 where you need the skins to upgrade your stuff.

Why does someone with a cheetah avatar fear that?
