Where does it say she let the gains go unopposed? And I would say Orlais is secure to a certain degree, they don't need to take a Nevarran city to feel safe.
Does Gaspard have an opinion of the Mage-Templar War?
An Orlesian city.
Never a Nevvarran city Perendale is and always will be Orlesian.
Also the fact that under near three decades of her rule it has not been retaken? It's loss occurred under Florian.
It is a Nevarran City! The Empire could have tried to take it back again, during the time that Navarra was engaged in its war with the Free-Marches. However the orlaisians did not care to fight for their supposed city. Instead they allow it to be a Nevarran city 
Anyways, What is Celene's and Gaspard's view on the chantry? ie which is more pro-chantry
Meh Gaspard or Celene, if given the opportunity I'll kill them both
Gaspard will have his throne. If he gives me what I want.
Alternatively, the crown can go to whoever can prostrate themselves in the most amusing manner.
Figures 4-6 are acceptable.
Bah. Orlesians are soft and more suited to stuffing their faces than making war. However Gaspard is far more agreeable a choice than the wretched Celene.
Every leader has something wrong with them. I bet the 'issue' with Gaspard is going to be his children, if he has any. His kids will probably be completely incompetent and horrible. lol Not to mention Gaspard is too old for my tastes to be ruling any nation, ESPECIALLY if he does, in fact, turn out to have incompetent children that will destroy the nation.
Emperor Gaspard for the win. I haven't met the man but I've already decided on supporting him just from reading the book. He is a honourable breath of fresh air among all the liars and backstabbers. This guy at least has the decency to stab you straight in the face, and if he does you probably deserved it.
Stab you in the back, or stab you in the face, either way you're getting stabbed.
I like him because he doesn't allow torture. Of Nobles. His code doesn't apply to commoners.
He also threatened Compte Pierre with riding into Halamshiral and burning it to the ground searching for Celene, even though he knew she wasn't there. He would kill everyone just to get at Celene.
Not to mention, he claims there is always a way to get around his code anyway. He really isn't as honourable as people think. Not to mention... He wants to attack Ferelden again. Right after they've suffered from a Blight, during all the mage/Templar stress... He really doesn't care about anyone other than himself and his idea of a strong Orlais.
If speak about actors who can represtn him I think of Guy Delorme. Rochefort is very similar to him.
Yeah - killers of innocent people (peasants and elfs) who just tried to protect themselves (or avenge abuse they have suffered, because they have no way to get vengeance otherwise...there's no laws to protect them...) and abusers or people that can't fight and have no rights (peasants and elfs again)
This is Medieval. There is no Genevieve's convention, there is no civilians. War is Hell, all wariors- cold blooded killers. And Gaspard isn't the worst person if you will judge by HIS TIME not ours 21 age.
Anyways, regarding His Imperial Majesty, since he is the leader of the Chevailers, does that mean all of them answer to him? How old is he? I got the feeling he was in his late 40's. Any information regarding his age? Where is he currently? We know the False Empress managed to return to Val Royeaux and wearing purple is a sign of allegiance to her. Any way to show support to the Emperor?

There was no information but I think too. He called Michel "son" so late 40 would be fine.

Suppord his right on throne. He is man of the action.
Gaspard vs Celene choice is like picking between the two devils...Its like picking between the Democrats vs Republicans..Both are full of crappy baggage.
This is a case where you will pick the lesser of two evils. IMO, I will choose Gaspard because he is the lesser of two evils.
Gaspard is very upfront about his goals and intentions. There is little political bullcrap with him. He does not hide what he is which I like.
Whereas Celene is someone who presents a different face and yet acts differently. She presents herself as a tolerant and progressive ruler yet she burned down an elven living area to prove her point and had Briala's parents assassinated.
You can at least trust Gaspard to keep his word.

Yeah, I'm very inclined to side with him.
But I'd like to hear both sides first. 
I haven't read the book yet, so I'll be going in basically blind. However, my poor little heart really balks at the idea of allowing anyone to attack Ferelden again. While my logical side admits it's going to happen no matter what we do and is just a matter of time, so best to cut the losses now and move forward. I think I'll pick up the book and read through it so I'm caught up before release.
I am tired to explain it, guys. He was plot to invade Ferelden, yes. But in the end of the book he has different problems so he won't touch doglords country.
Not sure why the Inquisition should care anyway. Nothing invested in Ferelden enough to want to weaken Orlais.

More a personal - and silly -, 'but it was the first place I was in the DA lore!' sort of issue. At least for me, hence why I never said it was an issue for my inquisitor - it's just me being, well, me. Separate from the entity I'll play in the game. My elf Mage does not care, my elf mage just wants results.
(I have not read Masked Empire) Ferelden is the single most important issue to me from the candidates. I hear this about arranging assassinations, and that about being up front with one's motives but dammit nostalgia has ahold of me and it's not letting go it just won't. So if this guys is actually deadset on attacking Ferelden then I'm sorry but there will be unforeseen consequences. My real question is: is Gaspard truly planning to invade Ferelden basically immediately if he were to 'win'? There's a difference between campaigning on something and being obsessed with something.
How high on his to-do list is this so-called invasion?
If it's merely a pipe-dream of his then that's something I'd consider awesome.
Does Gaspard have an opinion of the Mage-Templar War?
Gaspar's View? "F**K them and their BullSh*t, im busy trying to dethrone my cousin"
I would like to know what is the code of the Chevaliers concerning allegiance? I couldn't quite understand in the book how fomenting a coup against you liege was not against their "honor" code. Anyway the Chevalier code means nothing to me, considering one of their final test is to go killing elves randomly in an alienage to prove what "tough" soldiers they are. Right.
I also don't understand what are his credentials for being a good leader. I think I've said that before in another thread, but being a good soldier or general is not a guarantee that you'll be a good ruler (I'm looking at you Loghain, and I do love you). We know Celene at least ruled for 20 years. He saying "I can do better" does not mean he actually can.
He killed an ally just because the guy did not follow his moral standards. That's not anymore cruel that what Celene would do, but that's certainly stupid and this does not speak well of him as an ally. So the minute my Inquisitor does something he does not approve, he gets the Remache treatment? I don't think so.
I despise both Gaspard and Celene, if there is any way to screw them over, the Inquisitors that are closer to my mindset will.
He only wanted to retake Fereldan to prevent the mage templar war from devastating Orlais.
He was of the mind that after Kirkwall a war would give both factions something to focus on.
He doesn't have anything beyond that compelling him to invade.
Not only is this not true, it is illogical. To delay one war that stretches beyond the boundaries of your country, you start another war with another nation. If that were at all possible then the rebellion at the White Spire wouldn't have happened because Gaspard started the civil war, so if that were really his goal he not only failed miserably but he's an imbecile who certainly shouldn't be on the throne. He and his allies wanted to reclaim Fereldan because it used to be Orlesian territory before they rebelled and claimed their independence.
Retour en haut
