One thing Gaspard does is to end the game,

 

No, he doesn't.

 

 

and actually make the nobles deal with the problems of the country directly,

 

What does that even mean?

[thesuperdarkone2]

The ending slide says as it follows: "He rules unopposed. Each noble house that rises up against him soon realizes it has made it's last mistake". And he doesn't need to kill them all. Just enough to set an example and show who is in charge.

That pretty much outright says he violently crushes opposition, not has peace with them and thus convinces them to change their ways. They may submit out of fear but what happens after Gaspard dies? Then the Game returns. When someone says "last mistake", it pretty much implies death. Also, I find it funny that Celene's endings never have the nobles rebel against her.

No, he doesn't.

 

 

 

What does that even mean?

 

He does, unless further evidence proves me otherwise.

 

It means that without the game, they now have to worry about other things, like fulfilling their duties. Rather then go to parties and gossip about trivial and nonsensical things.

It is stated literally nowhere that he "disbands" or "stops" the game. "The Game" is just the Orlesian term for political intrigue, and that's never going away.

And what duties, according to you, were going unfulfilled?

This. Drakon, one of the most revered figures in Orlesian history tried to get rid of the Game and he failed. If even he couldn't stop it, what makes you think Gaspard putting down rebellions is going to do

[Milana]

Finally decided to overcome my feelings and let Celene die(while closing eyes at all the dissaprovals) and made Gaspard an emperor. Well that was the best decision! Im too easy, all he has to do is to throw "my friend" at me and im gotten  Now i really wish we could see how they go hunting wyvern together

Gaspard doesn't have a snowflakes chance in hell of ending The Game, Nobody does.
If the greatest Emperor Orlais ever had (Emperor Drakon I) Couldn't end it, I don't like anybody elses chances. Drakon had the same outward focus that Gaspard is attempting now, fighting the second blight and expanding a very young empire that started from A city state to All of Orlais to the Anderfels and beyond and even his attempts to end the game failed.

This is coming from A Gaspard supporter

One thing that never helps is do nothing. At least he will try.

[thesuperdarkone2]

And will likely fail. If the only way he tries to stop anything is violence, that isn't going to get rid of it.

Tywin Lannister dealt with uprisings and revolts quickly and he was the most powerful man in the realm for a long time.

 

He won't resolve these situations with peaceful talks. It will only make Gaspard look weak in front of the nobility.

[TheKomandorShepard]

This isn't true that orlesian game can't be destroyed it is system and every system can be destroyed and replaced however it would require strong dictatorship.

[Augustei]

For some reason I get the impression from the Gaspard haters that one of the reasons they don't like him is because "War is evulz! Celene doesn't declare wars"
and "He wants to declare war on Ferelden" and make him out as some evil bastard because of this?

War with Ferelden is pretty much inevitable unless it is taken by other means, and its also a smart move for an Orlesian ruler. That Coastlands port revenue could make Orlais rich, and its farmlands could ease their reliance on the breadbasket of thedas the free marches as a food source, heck they may even push to dominate the market. As long as its declared at the right time, War with Ferelden would be a smart move.

That being said, Gaspard's trying to start the war via the duel with Teagan was Not a smart move, He is literally repeating Revilles mistake. So the forces can move into the valley and leave the north barely defended. Or divide the Orlesian forces? lol yeah okay... Damnit Gaspard! *backhand* Markus ain't dead yet son!

But back to my original point, I get the impression from his haters that they don't like the fact he wants to declare war in general, regardless of circumstances.


 

[Milan92]

Well war is never really nice, so I cant really blame them for that. I dont like his desire for war either.

But Gaspard isnt the villain some people make him out to be.

It's because his reasons for going to war are just... a big barrel of stupid.

[The Ascendant]

I always imagine this as his theme song.

To restore his nation to it's past glory?

Oh you got me, that is stupid "_"

Funny.

It seems violence works for causes you support, but not for those you oppose.

Must be a double standard.

Is that supposed to be inherently not stupid?

[Master Warder Z_]

Is that supposed to be inherently not stupid?

Not inherently no.

And militarism founded Orlais, gave it something to focus on.

So? Is a "good war" really what Orlais needs the most right now, or is it just the only way Gaspard knows how to function?

 

Hint: His proposed solution for the Templar/Mage situation was "give 'em a good war" so...

He wasn't wrong.
