So I was rolling a new character, a melee fighter human Andrastian. The way I was playing her was someone who was devout, but wasn't sure she was chosen by Andraste as her Herald. She never definitively said that she wasn't, but she never definitively said she was either. There was some interesting options I didn't have in my first playthrough as a Dalish elf.
So I go to the Templars, and at the end of the quest I'm talking to the Knight and there's a new option I didn't get another time I played the Templars as a non-Andrastian, the one where you can declare yourself the Herald. So I figured... okay, after all the crap she's been going through, maybe she's come to believe the hype. So I pick it.
What I get was.... wow. I mean, the camera shot was right straight ahead at her, dead center, saying basically that "I am the Herald of Andraste", and every word of it came in an echo, like it was the voice of the Maker itself. It was very.... I dunno, it gave me goosebumps.
I figured maybe that was a representation of what the Knight, who was obviously devout, was hearing and seeing... but I dunno, was it? I admit I haven't completely played the game to the end yet. I'm kind of avoiding finishing the game. I've already put dozens upon dozens upon dozens of hours in other playthroughs, but I know about what really happened in the Fade and how Andraste didn't save the Herald.
So what did everyone else who saw that part at Therinfal Redoubt think? Like I said: goosebumps. I didn't expect her to declare it like Moses on the mountain.
