Imshael was one of the best encounters in game for me. Hilarious. He sounded bored yet trying to appear enticing (yet another bit of amazing VA in this game alongside writing) which was a great combo lol. And the "Oh for f... Choice Spirit!!!" killed me

Thanks for getting this song stuck in my head...

 

 

 

Like you didn't want that stuck in your head. Please. You fool no one.

I don't know that imshael should have been main antagonist, but I do wish his role was, or at least felt larger.

As I've never bought any of the Dragon Age materials apart from the three games (and Awakening expansion), I didn't know that this mostly irrelevant villain with minor screentime and little buildup was supposed to be something special until I read it on these boards.

 

Retroactively I get it that he was integral to part of Corypheus plans in the Emprise du Lion, but imagine for fun how it goes if you, like me, don't know anything about him, enter Emprise du Lion, meet some guy named Michel at the gate to the keep and tell him that sure, you'll deal without whatever minor issue of revenge he has, since due to the linear nature of the zone you are going to clear out the keep anyhow on the way to deal with Samson's Lyrium production and the town's mining problems, battle your way through the keep, meet some unimportant minor spirit/demon that has no importance to you apart from it, apparently, being in charge here and the target of Michel's quest, and slaughter in on general principles with few problems and nothing special happening in the fight apart from a wave or two of extra minor demons.

 

...and then you go to the forums, and people say, "Ooh, that was IMSHAEL!"

 

If THAT is supposed to be one of the most powerful spirits/demons in the world as some of you suggest, or devious, or a magnificent bastard, or whatever, I can well understand if you feel that both the build up, the execution of temptation, and the fight was underdeveloped. Certainly I never got the feeling that it was anything special.

 

EDIT: Yes, I get it. He is a spirit of choice. Or at least, he pretends to be. But he came across as a minor desire demon with augmented combat powers, only one much worse written than those from DA:O.

 

The same can be said of Gaxkang and Xebenkeck.

 

Especially Xebenkeck.
