She's the Left Hand of the Devine and the "knife slipped to her in the darkness" is from the end of her DLC in Origins. The flower is just like someone further down said, one of the first conversations with the Warden about a dead rose bush blooming a single flower and how she saw the Maker in it." [quoted from a Reddit post])

• "He hates it all because of the darkness behind the door. Some doors should stay shut." - Coryphytits
  He hates creation because he and the other ancient tevinter magisters opened the door and found nothing where the maker should have been (darkness *cough* black city*cough*). if the door to the golden city had remained closed all the bad stuff in the games wouldn't have come to pass and so it should have remained shut for the good of creation.
• "An old name burns inside of armor that shouldn't fit, lit by faces of children he couldn't save." - I know this is probaly a reference to Blackwall but it could also be a Star Wars reference to Darth Vader, his old name (Anakin) burns inside of armor that shouldn't fit (if he hadn't been dismembered) lit by faces of children he couldn't save (Luke and Leia which he thought he had killed with their mother).

Wow these are awesome and you guys are all great for catching them. Myself, I tried to fit a couple of Cole's quotes to people connected to the the Inquisitor. I never could match the ones I'd heard, and Cole didn't get along with me so well in my first PT. He kinda stopped talking to me after awhile, and I never took him anywhere because he never let me wear his hat I already had a rogue in the party. I'm playing a rogue in my second game, but I may have to have a two-rogue party from time to time, heh.

[Alan Drifter13]

Thanks everyone. This is probably the best thread I've seen in this forum until now. I hadn't talked to Cole enough to pay attention to these references, but will do in my second gameplay

I was going to say Varric too.

[Phoe77]

Both worlds is probably referring to the physical world and the Fade.  Solas means pride in the elven language.

Caught a ref to Gone Home. Got a screenie with the subtitles, let me check it...

 

It wasn't blood in the bath. Fingers on the scalp, intimate, and then the moment is gone.

 

The game (or 'game' if you like) Gone Home. In-game, something things off the whole time, and then you see 'blood' in the bath, but the bottle next to it shows it is red hair dye. Sam dyed Lonnie's hair in the tub.

The whole house is dark and there's a storm outside so it feels like it is supposed to be scary, but it never is. (Well... unless you like to examine things and are easily startled...)

"He hunts the killer, but he's the one who killed her. He can't remember."

 

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Nobody caught that?

"She knows they're going to kill her, can only save what's important. Precious space to remember her smile."

 

I *thought* this was Cortana from Halo saving a picture of John's smile when she's becoming fragmented, but the "her" throws me off... Maybe thinking of some other story with an AI that's facing deletion and saves a picture of its operator's smile?

 

 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is what it sounds like.

It could be Halo (I'm more than certain it isn't, but it's a valid interpretation).

 

"She knows they're going to kill her" could be referring to Cortana being aware of her impending 'death', since 'smart' AIs in Halo go rampant after a period of 7 years, in which they literally think themselves to death. If not referring to this, it could also refer to her sacrifice at the end of Halo 4. This is probably the easiest line to interpret, since you visibly see and audibly hear Cortana descending into rampancy throughout Halo 3 and 4.

 

"Can only save what's important" would refer to the sacrifice, where 'what's important' would be Chief, where Cortana literally saves him from the Ur-Didact's grasp. Cortana tells Chief "They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted." Chief would consider Cortana to be his closest friend throughout their time together, and Cortana reciprocated the feeling. Cortana knew that regardless of how the battle with the Ur-Didact turned out, she wouldn't live to see the end of it, so her last act in life was to break the Ur-Didact's grip on Chief, which allowed Chief to win.

 

"Precious space to remember her smile" could refer to Cortana's memory chip which Chief now keeps on a necklace as a keepsake. It is literally the "precious space to remember her smile" because it's the only piece of Cortana left in existence, and it's precious both because of its sentimental value, and because it's so small.

"Never trust half an elf."

 

Y'know, I'm half-temped to say this might actually be a reference to Sandal, who's implied in Legacy to be half-elven and who's skill at killing Demons and Darkspawn has raised a few eyebrows, in-verse and out?

 

"An old name burns inside of armor that shouldn't fit, lit by faces of children he couldn't save."

 

Spoiler

Like others, I'm going to say this is Blackwall because he wears armour and a name that's not his and he didn't realise that Lord Callier would be bringing his children along with him when he sent his men to kill him.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

"An old name burns inside of armor that shouldn't fit, lit by faces of children he couldn't save." – Mass Effect (I don't know about the armor, but if this is an ME3 reference, the kid is definitely the one on earth that Shepard tried and failed to save.); FMA *

I saw this as being another Star Wars reference about Vader. 

 

An old name burns inside = Anakin Skywalker thinking of himself as Anakin again instead of as Darth Vader

armor that shouldn't fit = the armor of Vader being grafted onto and into his body

lit by the faces of children he couldn't save = him thinking of his old self being due to Luke and Leia, the children he couldn't save despite him going to the Dark Side to try to save them and his wife

[Nykara]

 

These are the ones I'm pretty sure about:

• "He didn’t kill his father. He was his father." – Star Wars
• "It’s made of people." – Soylent Green
• "He teaches them to fight with a secret flaw, part of a glorious strategy." – Jade Empire
• "He was their enemy the whole time, but she made him forget, so he could change." – KOTOR
• "He hunts the killer, but he's the one who killed her. He can't remember." – Memento
• "He was dead the whole time. He didn't know." – The Sixth Sense
• "There is no other man. He becomes the other man to do the things he can't." – Fight Club
• "An old name burns inside of armor that shouldn't fit, lit by faces of children he couldn't save." –

  Blackwall
• "He hates it all because of the darkness behind the door. Some doors should stay shut." - The Elder One
• "Stomach full of Mantras, she burns like a beacon, faith a flame to bring succor for a seeker." - Cassandra
• "The left hand remembers a knife slipped to her in the darkness and wonders why the flower blooms" - Leliana
• "They should have been born together, but instead they were bound by light." - Beyond: Two Souls
• "It wasn't from a flower. He rode it in the snow." - Citizen Kane
• "She hurts, but helping hurts more. She sees the strings that pull me, eyes like raisins in a stale cookie." - Sera

 

• The one that has me stumped is this:
• "She knows they're going to kill her, can only save what's important. Precious space to remember her smile." - Possibly 1984?

 

The last one actually sounds like Shepard to be honest.

Spoiler

She knew stepping in to the machine would kill her - but it would save what is imporant including her LI. The space to remember her smile - the spot on the wall for the name plaque.

- ME3 spoilers with in, big ones.

This does fit  Blackwall pretty well, but I always get hung up on the final portion.  To me, that line would seem to imply that Blackwall made some sort of attempt to save the children and that he failed rather than what really happened.  That might just be me looking into it too deeply though.

[BluuDuck]

Cole is awesome! I always take him with me. He just keeps giving away secrets of other companions. And his comments on Bull's romance are just the best, even if not very work-safe)))

Now I'm curious, I've only ever heard his comments on the Cassandra one.

• "He was their enemy the whole time, but she made him forget, so he could change." – KOTOR *

 

Revan was a Sith Lord (He was their enemy the whole time) before Bastila and the Jedi Council decided to wipe his mind when they managed to capture him(but she made him forget), and game canon has him becoming a Jedi once again even after he regains his memories of being a Sith Lord later on (so he could change).

Sounds more like Memento. These interpretations are getting as bad as Nostradamus' quatrains.
