I go and have a nap for a few hours and suddenly there's mass hysteria and a interview posted. Gwad this is why I should not sleep during possible info dump mornings.
Anyways, I'm on the boat of surprised that Cole isn't being written by DG, but I suppose it makes sense since he set up the character and already wrote enough on him to get a good idea on how to progress further with him. I enjoyed the Masked Empire and can just see DG trusting PW with the handling of Cole and possibly long chats on certain things about said character when the game was in way earlier stages. It sounds like PW has a handle on understanding who Cole is, and that's a real good sign.
...Ohhh if it's not in the hands of DG then could Cole have developed enough in PWs hands to become an LI....? That's an interesting thought. I hope he isn't an LI but still because the writer is different Cole could have gone down a different path.
And it's wonderful news that Iron Bull would get along with Cole, mainly because I wanted those two as apart of my super tag team of main party awesome and it always made a bit of sense to me somehow. I even drew fanart of the people who I figured the most would be friendly to Cole ages ago;
But Sera and Viv not being fans of him? Pfff I wasn't too much of a fan of them anyways and didn't forsee them being all that gelling with my first Inquisitor. Of course there will always be companions that clash, that's perfectly fine, but I just don't want a repeat of the scorn that was going on in DAII so I'm going to keep them as far away from each other as possible.
Also I never saw that Scibbles Cole concept art before. Ten bucks says he's saving her from a stray arrow.
