No, you the one who inventing Cole. Read Uirebhirils comments, they answer your posts well. Author is one who stated who is Cole, and what he up to. You should read more of Inquisition material, and should stop making your own Coles inventions. The final side from our (my) side is to refer to him how he looks in Inquisition, after his transformation. Because the whole complex could describe the entity/persona. What is matters who he/it is now, and what kind transformation it /he made. He did transformed himself from something malicious into something benevolent, while templars gone opposite. If you understood something else from that post, you understood utterly wrongly.
again, please read BioWare interview, Cole's profile on NEWS thingy on DA:I site, and different leaks from gameplay. Cole transformed, he is not one who you saw in Asunder, there new things to him, and only proper way to judge him is to consider his ending point at which we can see him as Inquisitors in DA:I.
PS> And i am sure that if you will try to read/re-read OP post of this thread now, this will contribute to your next post contents. There some valuable information and stuff coming from Authors/BioWare. You should check it and consider it in your judgements and in remarks to posts of other people.
Cheers
And now I am even more confussed about why you people can't accept why people don't like him. I have ALWAYS said he's an intresting character but give what we learn about him in Asunder i can't view him as a nice guy. EVEN the bloody writer accepts this is a perfectly reasonable reaction.
[PW]: Cole remains a work in progress, yes. Anyone who allows him to join the Inquisition (and because there are people whose response to him in Asunder was, "Demon? LOL NOPE," allowing him to join is optional)
Even Weekes understands why people just don't trust or like the guy and he doesn't cage it as closed minded or uninformed. He Clearly acknowledges that reading asunder is going to put cole in a VERY negative light with some readers.
Some of us are going to come to a very logical conclusion of not seeing cole in a sympathetic light. It simply amazes me that somehow we have to like him to think he is an intresting or valuable character to DA:I. Valueable as in adds to the experience. I am going to destroy or send him back to the fade (if possible) on my first play through. Later as I explore other aspects of the game and want new content i'll delve into the intresting twists and turns of his story. This isn't Cole hate this is I know what demons did in the past games of DA and i am not allowing a demon into the walls of the inquisition when we are fighting a demon invasion.
I have zero problem with people wanting cole as their go to guy, I'm just amazed at the backlash at people who don't like the most controversial companion in DA:I. I always let loghain join the Wardens because that was what wardens do they take criminals and give them a chance at redemption. I NEVER once got upset at someone who said NOPE not on my Watch he is dead. Yet I don't think cole is a nice guy and I am being closed minded? Come on.
People could have engages the conversation by asking if we planned to explore his story in the future, people could have asked what aspects of cole we did find intresting, but NOPE people had to defend their position of liking the guy because someone how us not "liking" the guy was a threat. And its was presented in such a manner that no rational, open minded person could actually think cole was an untrustworthy demon.
