Here's mine:

 

Josephine:

Lady, your looks are distracting, and can we buy me a dress like that for the ball? Apart from that, good you're there. We're in agreement about the importance of diplomacy but I hope you're as good as they say in trading etc.. because all I know about money is that I like to have lots of it and I like to spend it.

 

Cullen:

Weren't you Knight Captain at Kirkwall? Not exactly a recommendation. How did you get promoted to general? Well, I hope you're a good one because I'm not, but by all the gods let me decide where we want to intervene. BTW, are you sick? Your face has an unhealthy pallor and your skin looks a bit pasty. Did Varric overstate your good looks in his story?

 

Cassandra:

No weaseling around. You're going to dislike me, and I'm already disliking you. We can organize our co-operation around that mutual dislike for the good of all, but don't expect your preferences to match the way I do things. And if you don't stop talking over my advisors we're going to have a problem. BTW, by Varric's account your voice used to be more lively.

 

Leliana:

The "Left Hand of the Divine", right? I've heard impressive things about you and since the Divine you served is dead perhaps there won't be a conflict of interest. Still, you've been a Bard and while I like you and appreciate your competence, I'll be slow to trust you. We'll talk more when others aren't listening. BTW, you, too, have this unhealthy pallor? Is there something in the air here? Perhaps we should move.

 

Edit:

Fixed Cullen's old title. Got the terminology mixed up.

Leliana , I had to laugh a bit.Because it seems like she's not really ok with the Herald of Andraste business.

But I remember a time when she had a "vision" send by the Maker.It almost makes me want to roll an Inquisitor who will embrace the thing just to see if she has something to say about that.

 

Cassandra ...mmm...she's bordeline rude.But from her banter with Varric , it was obvious she isn't really good at social interactions.She seems very dominant , she's the boss , the driving force.On the bright side , she has one goal closing the breach ...and if it means working with renegate mages .She's going to do it.

I'm not sure she's pro "Herald of Andraste " stuff because she believes in it , or because it's conveniant.

 

Cullen seems bitter about the Chantry and still pro templars.He says the templars can help but doesn't explain how.

 

Josephine seems cool so far .

 

 

The most interesting thing is the dynamic between the characters ...because it feels really dysfunctional.Cassandra and Leliana don't really seem to get along.Nobody listen or agrees with Cullen ...and Josephine is all "Yeahhh I'm not getting involved in this ."

 

Anyway I can't say if I'm going to like them or not , but I feel like they areall  going to annoy me at one point.(Well maybe not Josephine)

Cullen: Like in the two previous games, I barely noticed him. I think he's as bland as ever.

 

Leliana: Boy, has she gotten stern over the years. No more shoe fetish and naïveté. So great to see her again ^^

 

Cassandra: What a lady. :wub: Beautiful and deadly.

 

Josephine: Not a fan of her appearance, and I hate the russian accent, but she seems charming.

 

I have a feeling I'm gonna be a huge fan of Sera. She feels like that goofy character I've missed. Overall, I was just astounded at how lifelike they look. The new graphics are just amazing.

Josephine: Seems alright, greeting me in elvish was nice of her. Seems like the nicest of our Advisors

 

Cullen: Headstrong, and far too opinionated for my taste. I don't question his skill however.

 

Leliana: Unsure, she didn't make a bad impression, but I couldn't gauge her from that talk.

 

Cassandra: Pointing a sword at me was a bad start. But she seems decent.

First: Oh, wow, helloooo there :wub:  .Then: .... well, seems like we won't get along.

 

Cassandra

And people called aveline intimidating.... every rose has its thorns, but yours are like cannons. :wacko:

 

Leliana

She is tired, just look at her voice, the tone... seems like she doesn't have faith anymore. :huh:

 

Josephine

She is soooooo sweet, polite, pretty... BF forever! :D

Josephine: Made the best first impression out of the group, but I kind of expect my diplomat to do that.

 

Cullen: Trusts the Templars too much but he seems competant. Since I plan to play a mage a few times it should be interesting getting him to come around. You mage ladies planning to snag him, let us know how that goes.

 

Leliana: She does seem less energetic/more subdued that when I last saw her in action. Though considering recent events this is understandable. I do like her hesitance about 'The Herald of Andraste' thing. I personally would feel unnerved by that so It'll be interesting to see things playout.

 

Cassandra: She's tough, a tad blunt and has a tendancy to talk over my other advisors. That said she did crack a smile at the Inquisitors joke so she's got a sense of humor. I can work with her and possibly pull her out of her shell.

 

Final thoughts: I can make an effective team out of these guys, no question. Now getting them to open up and act like friends/family to one another might be a little harder.

 

When did Justinia V die?  :huh:

Likely in the blast that stared this whole mess

I don't know. People have referred to her as dead for a tme, and I believe it because it's plauslbe, for otherwise Leliana would still be at her side. Maybe she died in the blast.

I never found Cullen to be all that interesting or compelling. He was naive and headstrong in Origins and while slightly more aware, still foolish in DA2. He doesn't seem to have changed much, so he'll likely need to learn chain of command fast and listening to authority.

 

Josephine is definitely the most pleasant out of the bunch while having a sense of humor. I think she'll be a great addition to the team and know how to quell tensions when conflicts spin out of control.

 

I've always like Leliana and she certainly appears to have grown a lot since DAO. I'm really curious to see how her character develops and changes overtime in DAI.

 

I always felt Cassandra was overcompensating or her lack of controlling things and her clear insecurities. I actually think, along with Leliana, she is going to have a lot of depth and change to her character as DAI progresses forward.

I think it was refreshing to see all the characters talking in-game. The still images that have been on the dragon age website didn't do them justice. I think they all looked really good in the stream and the lip synching and facial animations looked believeable and natural, to me at least (admittedly, I'm not the biggest stickler about these things).

 

It was nice getting to see Josephine. She looks pretty and I really liked her voice and the Antivan accent. The candle attatched to the clipboard was really distracting to me though. I kept imagining the catastrophe that it would cause if she dropped it or the candle fell off or something. I don't trust that thing :P

 

Cullen seems pretty cool. He looks, sounds, and behaves more mature and experienced. I think it's cool because he looks like he's maintained his wariness of mages (which is good, imo. Someone has to hold that viewpoint) but it's more tempered. I think I'll be able to count on him to provide reasonable counsel and I detect bro potential. It's hard for me to believe now that I once wanted to fight this dude during my first DA2 playthrough.

 

Leliana has some awesome looking armor. Unfortunately she didn't get to say too much. I'm glad she's featuring prominently in this game though, as she's one of my personal favorites from Origins.

 

Cassandra looks gorgeous. And I love how assertive and blunt she is in dialogue. I actually thought it was really funny when she cut off Leliana. I've played Origins so many times, (I'm in the midst of a fresh canon playthrough right now, in fact) I'm very used to patiently listening to Leliana as she shares her thoughts with her colorful and flowery speech. I was all prepared for that when she started describing her job and then Cassandra subverted my expectations and just shut her right up without the slightest care in the world. I was definitely amused by that. Also it was nice seeing Cassandra being more friendly with the Inquisitor, and smiling along with the Inquisitor's sarcasm. I was afraid after some of the older footage of the game ("You're the only threat I see!") that Cassandra would be very hostile with the player character for a while and that it would take significant effort and time to get her to warm up. I'm glad that's apparently not the case. I am certainly looking forward to this character more than any of the others, I think she's going to be awesome.

Josephine was a breath of fresh air, a really great character.

Not much to say about Leliana and Cassandra, they were about what I expected. (Which is good)

Cullen... I'm not sold yet. I don't understand why he got the job, and he isn't that interesting.

Cullen made me giggle. With my Wardens and Hawkes, he's been around his fair share of strong women. Then he was beneath Meredith who was the ultra HBIC. Now he's surrounded by even more ladies and being drowned out by their personalities. I bet he's fit to be tired.

I thought Cullen would be an obnoxious pansy but I might have been wrong. After watching the video he seems stern, tactical and hard headed. I actually like

Josie: I love everything about you girl. It's more then possible we'll end up as couple and for sure BFFs.

 

Cassandra: Please pull the stick out of your bum. Also I hate people who interrupts others. Grow up or you will be staying in the castle.

 

Cullen: Move along soldier. Nothing to see here.

 

Leliana: Hi Sweetie! How are you? Why are you so sad? What's happening? Are you and my female city elf ok? Where is Schmooples?! Where did you get these shoes?

 

I can't wait to finally play the game.

Cassandra was a lot funnier than I expected her to be. That smirk! for one. I've been trying to decide between her and Dorian for my first LI, and this tipped the odds in Cass' favour. But then I haven't really met Dorian yet...

 

Leliana seemed kinda like Leliana again. Honestly, she was never my favourite character, so I guess 'meh'.

 

Josephine seemed majorly awesome. Looking forward to investing highly in political manoeuvrings!

 

Cullen: I still think you suck, but damn are you hot.

Josephine - A barbie doll. I am guessing she is the advisor for customizing the outfits.

 

Cullen - Incompetent in the previous games. Hid from demons like a whimpering child in the first game. And couldn't spot demons under his very nose in the second. I will blindly trust his advice.

 

Leliana - A religious fanatic, and possibly quite insane (and maybe undead too). Excellent person to take advice from.

 

Cassandra - A raging lunatic with severe anger issues. Also capable, as a teen, of killing huge dragons with a single flick of a dagger. Her gamma-readings are off the chart. Someone everyone should listen closely too.

 

 

(jokey post)

@Rawgrim:

Whilst I maybe wrong, I think he was referencing her to being like Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk or seeing as Cass is female, Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk ;) basically, she's nuclear ;)

 

On-Topic: Having obviously only read about and seen just still images in regards Josephine, was nice to see her introduction scene to get an idea of how she will be. The others pretty much acted just as I would expect them to, although I did like that Cullen was the one whom asked if the Dalish Elf was okay with being called 'Herald of Andraste' and I loved his response to her not liking it.

 

As for being pasty, bah! He's Ferelden, a lot of us Fereldens/Brits are fairly pasty :P
