I think Cassandra was pretty well-drawn. It's probably much more prevelant in the romance -  but there is a certain vulnerability to her but she manages to hold pretty fast to her beliefs without coming off as a total zealot.   I think it helps if you have her around Solas though, since he makes her question them a bit and softens the harder edges of her faith.

 

I agree with Addai, the naivete was bad with her to the point - for me - that the idea of romancing her was totally off-putting.  She made it very hard for me to sympathize with her or want to help her. 

 

I love Cassandra, but I think they put a bit too much emphasis on her badass side. At first, she strongly reminded me of Aveline. And same as with Aveline, it's romance that shows you her softer side (to be fair to Cassandra, she is also developed on the friendship path through her banters and conversations, specially post-book scene)

 

You are very right. (Please ignore that right is an absolute, like pregnant, and you can be no more "a little" right than "a little pregnant", I swear i actually know that!)

But since BW does not give us more fine grained characters I must roll with something and I decided to appreciate any strength in a woman they will give me and accept the rest as a minor flaw of character. And that she's naive about sex *shrugs* what the heck.

 

 

I am all into that. But can we please not do that today? Because I must leave shortly. But I want to take part in that discussion. Because I'm all into that.

 

 

As for her personality, cute females are not necessarily weak or childish. You can be an adorable bad ass, or strong in ways other than being macho. I think she contrasts nicely with Aveline and Isabella, and together they present an interesting diversity of personalities.

 

That is precisely my point and what I think is not achieved with Merrill because it comes through as incoherent writing (to me at least) But I think it's best we leave it here, as Siha said she wanted to be present for this conversation (I don't know if I'll be here because of time difference, but in case you talk about it during the night I'll read it and answer tomorrow morning)

So I'm not too sure why I walked into a thread literally called 'I hate Solas' but I guess I brought what I saw on myself...

I legit just double cheked our thread title to make sure it wasn't ours. You never know, really.

Just to crush some hearts and inspire some angst-filled fics:

 

[Illyria]

I'm going to assume by the fact that you're back here means you walked away from it with your head held high. If so, well done.

 

If not... I'm not sure if I could resist. x)

 

I walked away.  I try not to post in threads that will just make me angry.  Yeah, not everyone is going to like the Fade nerd, but not everyone also feels the need to shout their hate from the rooftops.

Also, I can't kill the chargers because of that one character that uses a staff that glows to attack people but isn't a mage at all. I always laugh when she mentions she isn't a mage, as if she was really honestly trying to convince anyone about that. I love the Chargers too much, period.

Dalish is a woman, not a dude.

Aye thanks, wasn't sure about it, was too lazy to check.

Where's that gif of that girl dancing saying "It's okay not to like things so long as you're not a jerk about it!"?

 

Eh, if I had it, it'd be here.

 

Edit because I can't spell.

[Illyria]

You should've just edited your post and claimed you never made a mistake

Oh gawd, I certainly hope not...

 

I need a safe place, where my fangirling addiction can be enabled, cherished and appreciated.

I went to other places on BSN once, never again...  So many whiners, haters, nay-sayers, etc.  I just wanted to hit them with my "stop" stick.

So I'm browsing Tumblr (I'm very new to it, I don't understand it or how it functions in the slightest) and found a post of someone's interpretation of party banter between Solas and Abelas, now I want him as a party member. ;_;

 

 

I think a lot of us want Abelas as a party member regardless of whether he banters with Solas or not.  We are just hungry for more of dem golden thighs 

 

Though I don't think I'd ship my Lavellan with Abelas.  He's too much like Solas for that to end well.  If he did join the Inquisition, he'd be more like my Lavellan's grumpy racist cousin who makes her shemlen friends uncomfortable.

We need more pro(?)Dalish companion luvin'.  If I had any good guesses in this brain of mine, I'd say, BW has set up Abelas to be a future companion.  I'd also like Krem...

 

...and I want a pet.

 

And Solas needs to visit me in the Fade, stupid not stupid-he's a nerd jerk.

 

A girl can dream...

I still don't see the appeal to him, I just want someone who's an ass to all my party members. But someone I can like. Not like Vivienne. ;_;

 

Just give me Javik, I'll be good. I should probably play ME and get it out of my system.

 

Goddamnit BioWare there's not enough hours in the day for me to play your games! Why?!

After Abelas leaves the temple of Mythal, he meets up with Velanna and they raise up their own brood of racist babies to hate on the shems, certain in their superiority and sneering at all other comers.

"It's a booooow!" I love her too  I love the Chargers, but on my second pt I sided with the Qunari and loved the war table quest chain (even if your contact is Tallis ) I also saw that an alliance with the Qunaru would greatly benefit the Inquisition. So on my third and canon pt I saved the Chargers but it was a tough decision.

Yaaassss And seriously, this thread has made me curious about his character. Wanna know moar.

To what end? Claiming to be perfect is so boring and overrated anyway ;D

[Sable Rhapsody]

Aww, I adore Vivienne even if she hates me in my second playthrough. To my immense surprise, she and my extremely sweet Lavellan wound up getting along famously.  I like to think of Vivienne as my Lavellan's slightly evil Obi-Wan

Huh.  I didn't know Tallis turned up in Inquisition.  I wanted to like her, but I just...didn't.

Oops, sorry for the spoiler? She's the one that signs the communications with the Inquisition. I thought she was going to have a greater role in DA4; I'm kind of glad it was limited to that (to say that I don't like her is... a big understatement)

I don't know what it is. I liked her at first, I loved that she referred to everyone as "darling" or "my dear" (whenever my sister and I talk on the phone we usually say "Hello, darling," to be camp), but after a couple of playthroughs I just stopped liking her. I dunno, it's probably because she doesn't get along with anyone except Varric and Iron Bull, and it does seem like she insults people to be nasty, whereas the likes of Javik is just being brutally honest.

My Lavellan and Vivienne got along just fine, but I never did her missions. Atisha just can not go out and kill a rare white wyvern without being told why.

Juilanna, however.. hates Vivienne!

 

I also don't like Tallis.  I never even got the DLC. I'm just not a fan of Felicia Day. I think it's mostly because my ex just adores her. 

[LobselVith8]

Technically, it's possible that it wasn't the Tallis we met who communicated with the Inquisitor, similar to how we met Stens in Kirkwall who weren't the Warden's Sten.

It might not be Tallis Tallis it could be any old Tallis signing those reports or different ones.

Very true, but something tells me its Tallis-Tallis. I will be happy if wrong, however.

 

I didn't know who Felicia Day was before the DLC, which was very funny but I would rather have played it without Tallis. Specially when she started her Qunfangirl speech, I was like "b*tch please, I'm basalit-an"

 

On topic: Solas reaction to the Qun irks me quite a bit. He reminds me more of an old man yelling against communists in a bar than a person with reasoned arguments. It's funny that he's actually trying to indoctrinate Bull against the Qun, while Bull never tries to indoctrinate anyone.
