It'll be pretty interesting to have a diplomat on the team. Sure, Varric's been able to B.S. his way out of a few confrontations but for the most part the Party is there to beat the loot out of everything that isn't them. Combat is fun and is the main draw of the game, but it would be neat to be able to talk our way out of conflict. Think Deus Ex: Human Revolution's dialogue combat:
Maybe we'll get a Josie mini game?
*Inquisitor staring at their hand* : "I never asked for this"

Hello! Been lurking here for some time now, got tired of it and want to join in on the fun! So um... artwork!?
Been most likely posted before, but hey, good art is worth it right?

Welcome to the thread, fellow Scribbler. 
And yeah, that was shown but hasn't been for a while so it is all good. 
Thank you! Can't wait for November 18th!
I do wonder, with the Inquisitor traveling a lot and Josephine most likely is staying at the Keep--would they exchange letters to each other? DA2 had that system with letters, would love for it to make a comeback in DAI and possibly enhanced a bit whenever you are in one of your encampments/castles you can build in the game. I am just madly dreaming of it happening!

Thank you!

Love it!
That would be neat!
Thanks! I think it is a very nice addition to stay in contact with the Advisors who are not with you. Then again, if travelling to the Keep can be made in an instant, it becomes pretty null. I hope that is not the case.

Ones sent by Napoleon Bonaparte to Josephine de Beauharnais comes to mind.
"My waking thoughts are all of thee. Your portrait and the remembrance of last night’s delirium have robbed my senses of repose. Sweet and incomparable Josephine, what an extraordinary influence you have over my heart. Are you vexed? Do I see you sad? Are you ill at ease? My soul is broken with grief, and there is no rest for your lover."

Wow, that has all sorts of potential for adorableness.
I'm suddenly reminded of this.

And comedy. I can imagine Sera or Varric trying to read over the Inquisitor's shoulder as they read/write a letter.
Sera *trying to peak*: So, what does your lady love have to say?
Inquisitor *holds letter to chest, hiding it* : Not much. We received new troops and supplies. The usual.
Sera: That's it? No 'I love you' or even 'I miss you?'Oh wait, you're lying.
Inquisitor: I am not! Read it for yourself! *hands over letter*
Sera *reading: it's just a report* : Well, she takes the joy out of getting mail, she does. *gives letter back and walks away*
Cassandra: Lady Montilyet is thoroughly professional, is she not?
Inquisitor: And clever. *takes out enveloppe, unfolds it and begins reading personal letter written on the inside*.

Nah, just more verbose (wordy). Writers were paid by the word/sentence! It explains so much about Victor Hugo.

Sullivan Ballou. THAT guy can write a love letter. Look up his work. It'll bring a tear to your eye.

I'll look him up. James Joyce had a definite flair for letter writing too...

He isn't a writer per se but let's say some of the most beautiful things can crop up from one of the most horrific places one can ever be in-the battlefield.

I know, but still.... such a letter would actually feel disrespectful towards Josie as it'd sound like the Inquisitor is just making stuff up and not even writing 'from the heart', as they say.

I wouldn't go that far. To me it sounds more like a socially awkward person trying way too hard. Which is cute.
