I am so late for the hype but oh, man, official Cole confirmation! It's here! Not that it's all that surprising because the hints were pretty strong and I was fairly sure of Cole's companion status ever since that Last Supper-esque pic and his first appearance there, which was a pretty strong hint along with all the other present hints, but I still had the most embarrassing reaction when I first saw that he was confirmed. And I was hoping for this ever since I read Asunder and discovered that Cole was mentioned as a companion in the survey so needless to say I am delighted and excited
So much that I am willing to forget all about the lack of Solas or Dorian related new info because for now I am more than satisfied.
I have so many questions though. How did Cole go from end-of-Asunder-spoiler-events to joining the Inquisition? Where was he after **** went down in Asunder, where did he go, and how did that lead to the Inquisition? How did he deal with the Revelations about himself? How much does he remember? Does he remember everything or did he block out a few things (for convenience and to keep him as he was in Asunder as much as possible)? Where did he get those clothes? How did he get that hat and why is he wearing it and why does he think it's a good idea? Who let the poor boy dress himself? (Oh, wait, probably no one because... nobody sees him...) How are they going to handle the invisibility and nobody-remembers-him thing with him having a whole group of people and companions? Will the Inquisitor be a special exception because of their glowy green Fade hand and they'll never have that problem thanks to it? (Actually the probably will.) What about the rest of the companions? And that really heartbreaking quote implies his character development in Asunder had a pretty strong effect, so he's different from what he was at the start of the book, but were there events between Asunder and Inquisition that had any influence as well? And of course, most importantly of all, will I get to adopt him?
So many questions.
