I believe most people in this thread are kinda disproving your point there.
I love how the guy in the foreground looks like he's having a little dance

It definitely looks more like darkspawn taint (or demonic sith taint) than Kristoff corpse.
Then excessive fangirling also should get warning points
As one of you said: it's subjective. If people hate a character and want to express it it's their right to do so unless they attack other people
Freedom of speech or whatever
Freedom of speech means that you can't be jailed for expressing an opinion. It has f-all to do with an argument on a fictional character's looks on a forum.
Just as you have the right to express your opinion, other posters have the right to disagree and make counter-arguments.
Science, medicine, psychology and evolution disprove theirs
The debate is not whether he looks ill. The debate is with your suggestion that we cannot still find him attractive, cute, etc. You are speaking opinion as fact while we are still speaking opinion as opinion - that's the problem.
Is anyone here planning on equipping that floppy hat on him? It's adorable in an endearingly awful way, haha, but I'm not really digging it with his outfit.

Exactly. Just look at Ser Wesley.
And remember the darkspawn "song" in Asunder.
Chari, you are completely missing the point and I am going to stop engaging with you now because it is clear that you do not understand the difference between "discussion" and "bashing", not liking a character and bashing them or expressing a non-fan preference politely and being inflammatory

[RAISES HAND] With it, Cole makes me think of Vivi from FF9.

The first time I saw that hat in the E3 trailer.. I thought "poor guy.. looks like he crashed his kite". Now I've seen a closeup, I adore it. I'm definitely making him wear it.
And you'll enjoy it, Cole *shakes fist*

I love his ridiculous hat. He is going to wear that hat forever on my team. I don't care if it doesn't have any bonuses, he will wear it until the end game.
Haha, I don't knooow! I have to see more of the hat, I guess. I have to feel the hat, BE THE HAT.

I am sure bioware will give the hat +5 all attributes 20% resistance to everything and improves with level up. I will have no choice
Healthiness being a major attraction factor and illness being a major turn off are not opinions. They're quite proven factsThe debate is not whether he looks ill.

It's a good rule of thumb to just ignore people that are being inflammatory/hostile/severely judgmental and simply don't reply to them. That tends to end those tangents of conversations fairly quickly (I observed us doing that a lot very early on in this thread and it worked wonders).
As far as that hat goes though...I don't know. It's looks really stupid but...some part of me says that Cole probably loves that ugly thing and I couldn't take it away from him and make him upset. ![]()

...now that I think about it, those two have a lot in common.
Childlike, feared for being unnatural beings (Cole being a spirit/demon and Vivi being a Black Mage. Their powers don't help this matter), both childlike and innocent, good-natured and both start off easily frightened, but grow into stronger characters with courage and a desire to help people.

I don't think Cole actually has the taint, as we know it. I think it's probably just something to do with his partially demonic nature. Spirits can hear lyrium "sing" and I wonder how they react to red lyrium. I've thought for a while that all this stuff could link up somehow, since it always come back to music. When Cole heard the song, he didn't find it appealing or tempting at all, but the darkspawn and tainted are drawn towards it. The spirits supposedly stay away from the Black City.
Letting people freely express their love/hatred and letting them go is a mature answerIt's a good rule of thumb to just ignore people that are being inflammatory/hostile/severely judgmental and simply don't reply to them.

I am going to have Cole wear his kitehat when we go to the desert! Poor bird will burn without it

Maybe not all the time, but he will wear The Hat 2: Electric Boogaloo now and then.
It's so ugly it's cute. And he's so pale, it's probably a good idea for him to wear a hat. Kinda wonder if Solas can wear hats so my whole party can run around in epic hats.
I happen to love monsters including the physical monsterish qualities. Digital Devil Saga is one of my favorite games ever for this reason. ![]()
Also I'm 21 so I don't understand the freak out about romancing someone that is 20, doesn't seem like a very good argument to me. Not everyone is old. There's plenty of old men to dote over this time.

Didn't the devs say that every character has a certain "Style" and certain gear will look different on who it's on or something? I'm thinking Cole must really love that hat...

No...I plan on stealing that hat!! It is my ultimate goal to have my Inquisitor have a hat more glorious than every one else's. Which is going to be hard knowing the hat-history in Thedas. 0-<
I feel like Cole is going to have a lot of adorable moments, but I have a sneaking suspicion he will make me cry one way or another. Tragic hero complexes usually have at least one of the moments.... D :
Something I did in the banter thread...
Varric/Cole/Vivienne/Inquisitor
Varric: So, you're saying that I will probably forget you after this Conversation?
Cole: Probably … people always forget … me.
Varric: Cheer up, Ghost boy. I can't forget you with that hat.
Cole: The scary lady … told me that it will make me stand out.
Vivienne: Dear, I only yelled because you had it on the wrong way. Think of it as a nice yell.
Inquisitor: Don't worry, Cole. Vivienne scares all of us.
Vivienne: Ahem.

Please, please let that hat look like a beret or something completely insignificant on everyone else. Please. XD
