I didn't particularly like her character. She was just too disjointed. 

 

She was all broken-record-meets-ADHD and there was almost no rhyme or reason to her.

[BuddyL0ve]

She sure gives off an - idealistic without a sense of responsibility or consequence -  vibe... "I do what I think is right, let others clean up the mess". There are many characters like that in all forms of story telling, they just usually learn and grow, she doesn't... then again, there are almost all base character types in the game and non of them grows beyond their base concept. Not enough time, I guess.

Having gone through every conversation I could with her, her personal quest, and having romanced her (it seemed like a good idea at the time), I have to disagree with her being idealistic. I very much got the feeling she is doing the right thing right now ("right now" being her time with the Inquisition) for the sole purpose of getting things back to normal. No Breach, no Mage-Templar War. Then she she can go back to doing what she wants, when she wants, without any cause for consequence or concern. She even says she is doing this for selfish reasons. She is a walking internet troll, who does what she does for attention, and to see other people hurt. If something good comes out of it, she claims some small responsibility, because it's still attention.
She is a ball of hate, spite, and selfishness.

Also, if you'd like to feel guilty, I'll happily point out that there are real people starving to death for lack of food and water while you spend your idle leisure time discussing a luxury good that cost nearly a month's income of nearly half the world

 

You, me, all of us. If you can read this post, you are more privileged than the nearly half the world that lives on less than two and a half dollars a day.

 

 

Yes! Exactly! See, you DO get it! This is privilege, and we have it. Fistfuls. Bucketfuls.

 

No one - not even you - would argue that your life is harder - or even just as hard! - as a Syrian refugee. Right? You wouldn't.

 

So that was easy to admit to. We have privilege. I don't get why race privilege has to be such a sticking point. I don't get why it's so hard for people to admit to.

 

Well, actually, I do. But the reasons are dumb and ridiculous - like Sera. Look, we're on topic, again. Anyway, I'm glad we're past it, and now we all have a clearer understanding of privilege.

That's not a privilege though. It's circumstance.

Wow.. the resemblance is uncanny... now all we need is a side by side photo comparison like the ones we had for Miranda Lawson vs Micheal Jackson and Vega vs The Solution.

I thought I would romance her on my first playthrough but I couldn't. She is a wackjob. She disrespectful to her own people or the Dalish. She is a hypocrite. She doesn't make sense.

 

It funny between the three women in your party, it seems that Cassandra is the only one I truly enjoy being around. Vivienne is Evil.She reminds me of Anders from Dragon Age 2. I was never for the current state of the chantry or the circle of magi. So I liked Cassandra's idea of changing how people view the chantry and the circle of magi.

 

Sera has a screwed up sense of what is wrong and right.. Plus she is rude. She calls Solas too Elfy?

 

Okay I am doing another playthrough and I have to say Vivienne is not truly evil. I thought I would have Vivienne along with me with Cassandra and her banter is quite interesting.

 

But Sera is still a wackjob.

[prosthetic soul]

Sera is like Rikku from FFX (no, not the horrible FFX-2 version you chud).  Only instead of being this well-written, plucky, charming, adorable blonde haired woman....she's an unlikeable, self-race-hating, tumblr personified, walking pile of refuse who has no redeeming value in her personality.   So...basically, the antithesis to Rikku. If you're going to write a character like that, you better be damn sure you give SOME reason to like her in SOME way. 

 

Whoever wrote her didn't.

I have to say Vivienne is not truly evil.

I don't think Vivienne is truly evil either, and in fact I haven't seen a companion who is downright evil in any recent BioWare games. That said, I despise Vivienne for being arrogant, selfish, self-serving, lack of compassion and generosity, but Sera is the worst in my opinion. She has no redeeming value, she doesn't evolve or grow and it seems like she never will, but I like how Vivienne makes Sera her b*tch in most of her banter with Sera.

[Big I]

Putting aside her mannerisms, which are themselves annoying, she's petty, prejudiced, and wilfully ignorant. One of my favorite lines in the game was the "people I have to work with" line when first getting to Skyhold.

[TheBlackAdder13]

Ya'll are just bourgeois.  

 

Actually the only thing that's bothering me about Sera is that she's literate. As much as I enjoyed reading Sera's markups on other people's notes, given her background, it's just really not realisitic at all. Why would an elf from the lowest Thedoesian social class conceivable know how to read and write? Honestly it's kind of setting jarring.

She was taken in by a sick noble woman as a child

If Sera did more twerking I'd never romance anyone else. Maybe the twerk scene will be in the dlc.

Vivienne is arrogant, selfish and self-serving, but at no point did I get the impression that she lacked compassion or generosity, and the same goes for Sera. What Vivienne lacked was leniency, which is understandable, because let's face it, Fiona was foolish. Both of these characters actually care about the lives of others, and approve if you help people in need or distress. In these games, I typically size these characters up by the things that they approve or disapprove of, and I can only recall only one companion throughout the entire series that truly lacked compassion and generosity, and that was Morrigan in DA:O.

 

I'd rather try to save the mages than slaughter them, and she disapproves. I offer to pay handsomely for a sword, and she disapproves. Can't even promise to find some distraught guy's lost daughter without her disapproval. I can't recall a single act of kindness in the game that netted her approval unless it benefited her directly. What made her more agreeable was that she expressed her objections with cool indifference and confident snark.

Oh, I get that it's not about individuals and about position and privilege right now. That's why I find it an intellectual lazy gross oversimplification.

It is a 'net comic, not a dissertation, of course it's an oversimplification. Just wait 'till I post a bumper sticker.
 

The cost of using a singular collective is that you overlook the individual and the differences between how groups of individuals come to actions and how a singular collective comes to the same.

No, actually. I can recognize that the differences between individuals is insufficient to overcome the broader pattern. In some cases it barely even registers. We're "fortunate" here in that the appalling fiasco in Ferguson has brought out a significant amount of data illustrating the depth and breadth of the problem. I am certain you don't need my help to find it. Unsupported pleas of "individual differences" is like a candle in the noonday sun compared to that.
 

Certainly. The point of the comic would be entirely different if the preceding events were framed differently. That's why the comic has six panels and not just one.

You cut the last sentence off, the one with the actual question: "Does erasing all previous frames somehow put them both on the same platform?"

Vivienne does mention how Sera's butt is sad and bony (since she won't stop flashing it like the mentally 8 year old she is) which is strikingly similar to Miley Cyrus. 

[Nathair Nimheil]

That's not a privilege though. It's circumstance.

Those are not exclusive terms. It is by definition privilege.

Oddly enough Viv, does flash freeze a noble, and then kill him when he is helpless. If Sera did that this thread would be 900 pages long filled with rage at the injustice of it all. But I suppose that is alright, I mean he insulted you, so he probably deserved it.

In fairness, Vivienne preferred that the Inquisitor decide. Sera would very likely have stuck an arrow in him on the spot, though I can't say that I'd disapprove, since the guy was looking to have a fight to the death for no reason other than that he had strong feelings about this Herald business.

[Nathair Nimheil]

Whether or not she would have simply killed him herself will never be certain.

I said I didn't care what she did with him... she let him go.

 

I confess to a bit of disappointment.

[KaiserShep]

I simply chose to let him go, since it seemed proper that he simply be humiliated and sent packing, but after learning who and what he was, I can see why she'd just let him leave.

[Tex]

Sunnydxmen you are evil.

I don't hate her but I wasn't done with that guy, she shouldn't do things before I order her to, so I dismissed her anyway...

Sera = Tourette, ADHD and OCD; at first I thought she was funny but got annoying really fast...At least Sera had a harsher life and seems to be affected by those conditions, Vivienne is much worse with her condescending tone. 

[Nathair Nimheil]

Sera = Tourette, ADHD and OCD

At least there's some variety there, usually it's "she's psychotic".
