Two things:
1.) I haven't posted my love for Vivienne in a while so it's way overdue. This new gif of her is amazing. She's really gorgeous and I suspect that her character is going to be polarizing and fascinating. I really can't wait to meet her.
and
2.) Vivienne would be mortified that her thread was on the <gasp> SECOND PAGE. No respectable Orlesian in The Game ends up on the second page....... Bumpity bump bump, my dear.

In French, yes, Madame if she is married, Mademoiselle if she is no married.
But this is not dogmatic.
For exemple, a widow keeping her husband name can be called "madame".
Or a divorced woman could insist to be called again mademoiselle (meaning "i'm no married", "i'm free")
When you want to talk to women you don't know, you can use "madame" to be respectfull (better than "hey, you overthere"), and if she is young (teenager to, lets say 30) you can use "mademoiselle". In this case, even if "madame" is respectfull, it means the personne have a certain maturity, so it could hurt the pride of some women considering themself to look young enough to be called "mademoiselle" by stranger.
And of course, you never call female teenagers "madame".
So, it can lead to some funny introductions... let's say you see a female about 25 to 30 years old and you call her "Madame", if she does not complain, it's either because she is married, or single but she don't mind because it was a respectfull way to call her. If she answer you "maidemoiselle !"... it's either because she wants to show she is single, (if she is a feministe, she could take pride to be unmarried) or because she insist that she is not looking old enough to be called "madame".
Correct me if i am wrong, but... Doesn't title "Madame" mean that she have a husband?

I'm not too sure about French but the title has a different meaning in Orlias. "The World of Thedas: Volume 1" it outlines the hierarchy of the Orlesian Empire. Vivienne has achieved the rank of Lady, which is officially addressed as "Madame du..." Vivienne as we know is Madame du Fer. Quoted from the same using Madame is "Acceptable address for any nobility, no matter the rank, but not royalty"
So from that it just shows that she is a respected within Orlais. Which is admirable considering that she is a mage. The book does not say that one has to be married though to have a title so maybe she isn't?
That should be put in spoiler tags. Some people would prefer not to know exactly the situation or characters involved. Actually I did not want to know myself. Please edit it.

LOLz... I actually thought some people were playing the game already. Forgot it was spoilery.
I'm excited that it seems like we'll be able to get her pretty early
I read up until they mentioned her then stopped reading. God damn it the spoilers will be the end of me yet my eyes refuse to look away.
Stupid eyes.
Oh wow. That was not expected at all.. Is it a VA video or something?
Indira Varma? or just talk about Vivivienne... Better if it's about both. I feel like I know nothing about her rather than her being vile, pragmatic and wicked.
