Having played both version, turning Cole more Human in his inner circle quest is INCREDIBLE, touching. I cried.

I chose to get rid of him because he is a Demon.
I chose to keep him human.
He's less of a security risk that way.
Others can see him and remember him so I can keep better tabs on him.
And make sure he sticks to burning turnips instead of stabbing people.
watching these, and i'm left wondering one thing.
How the hell can cole NOT be everyone's favorite companion?
Because he was a bit too stab happy in Dragon Age Asunder.
So people have reservations with due cause.
I think I'll go with making him more human this time. First play through I went with the spirit path, but not entirely sure which is better. I want to say what he would perfer but what is that exactly?
Just an aside note I think his final advice at 2:56 spirit is priceless! XD
I went human at first, but he seems more effective at his 'job' as a spirit.
That said, his humanity allowed him to learn to stab people less, so reducing him to his purest form may lead him to forget that lesson.
EDIT: Another point shown by choosing 'spirit' is that his humanity was coming from being anchored to the templar;s guilt, so his anger tethered him. As a human, he'd need to constantly be angry, or at least resentful, to keep that tether. And if - when - the templar died, wouldn't that guild be gone and he'd lose his tether and revert anyway?
I agree Cole is an awesome character. He's fighting for top spot with Dorian.
Characters are what made this game for sure , anyways Cole is definitely is tied at the top with Cassandra and Varric for my favorite , i love this kid.
I won't be watching that 'more spirit' video until I have experienced it in a playthrough, but the 'more human' option is very touching. Great character indeed.
I made him a Spirit on my first go around because I felt that my Mage Inquisitor would trust Solas completely in the matter of Cole. It was all pretty good until my last interaction with him where he forces himself to forget who Cole was because he forces himself through a massive guilt trip (believes he could have saved his life). I mean, it's a probably a good thing for his spirit self but he loses an aspect of what made him himself.
Gonna try making a real boy in my next playthrough.

Except for the fact that he isn't. ![]()
Still, kinda sucks that you deprived yourself of one of the best companions in the game. Give him a chance next time.

I read asunder just to get his backstory. I'll agree that he was a bit stabby stabby in it, and that made me nervous while actually talking to him, but then I spoke about Rhys and Evangline with him, and made me realize he still cares. He only needs some one to believe in him.
I've read Asunder, so making him more human is just the better choice.
I saved his ghostliness. Altogether I really like him, the moment he stepped into the scene I had such a desire to protect him. I think he's by far the most interesting character of all and if you take him with you, he will always say something interesting and reads in the minds of your other companions. I really think they should have made him a love interest, because it would be awesome to explore that.
Dating Cole is like dating a 5 year old , why would you want to do that ? lol leave the boy's innocence be
First time I encouraged the human path, and I loved every second of it. He seems happier than when you make him a spirit.
I made him more of a spirit the first time because I was afraid that he was going to turn into a demon if I took the other choice.

No kidding! My ovaries kicked in, but in the sense that I felt -ugh- motherly toward him.

He's a kid...
I made him more human, because my Inquisitor believes that we all should change, improve, evolve. That everyone needs to adapt and change, just like the world is constantly changing.
Being a psychologically static spirit in an everchanging world is an abberation for him.

He's a spirit of Compassion and always was. If you take him to Old Crestwood the spirit there who gives you the quest outright calls him that.
Yes.....?
Yes.....?
Yes. 100% conformed personal experience.
"Shut up compassion I want to speak to him" (refers to Inquisitor)
