Well, unless it is hardened Sister Nightingale...

 

Surprisingly, I can imagine Vivienne as the Divine. She is like a pope who doesn't lift a finger for changing anything. Not great but also not worse. No doubt she is the worst option, Cassandra tries to incorporate improvements and questions status quo at least.

 

I am sure Ferelden has seen its fair share of defenestrations (without haycocks), no need to make its history bloodier .

 

I can imagine he is usable for a person who is willing to spend time micro-managing the group. I barely use him; the banter system is broken, so there is no reason to bring him along.

 

Darth Leliana can be fun. Well, not sure much if you're the opposition, but you get me.

 

And anti-Vivienne defenestration would also be fun. She just renders everything you managed to change moot.

And on top, I couldn't stand behind her for the sake of my life. She's just a big nope.

 

And I recently brought out Bull on Nightmare - I didn't even micromanage, and him and THE WALL just tore into everyone like a High Dragon.

Second was having Briala, Gaspard and Celene working together. Sure, Sera approved (and getting her to approve in my playthroughs seems to be a *pain*, so I was all happy about that), but then I saw the epilogue.

What is so bad about their epilogue? That their stability is basically tied to a sustainability of Inquisition? It looked okay to me. They didn't do anything to stir things (aside from regular scheming) and Briala helped to improve position of elves.

 

But I agree about Sera, gaining and keeping her approval should be a sort of achievement.

[Serza]

Gaining Sera's approval is one of the easier things to do in the game.

I don't think I've maxed it out, but I successfully romanced her with both an Elf Rogue and now an Elf Mage.

 

People think you need an achievement. Me, I just choose what I would really choose, and it comes natural.

Conclusion: People need to stop being a bunch of a-holes.

I am not sure the rise of new regime via rivers of blood of anyone opposing in the HQ is exactly how I would have liked it.

She definitely does render anything Herald tries to do moot if it is about pro-freedom and anti-Chantry. But so does Cass. She does at least set a precedens that a mage can reign Chantry and mages gain more autonomy - compared to the previous state.

I base my arguments on my ingame world where Inquisition made an alliance with mages. Reading alternative endings to other scenario... Vivienne's are pretty scary but well, I guess it would be satisfactory for someone siding with templars (which is nope in my canon playthrough).

I got her approval more often than not and I like her scenes on roof but she can be quite ruthless at times.

 

This is getting off-topic fast .

Warning: spoilers ahead, I guess?

 

Number 1 Regretted Choice: Making Cole more spirit-like.

 

It seemed like an equally valid and good choice at the time, but when he "forgets" himself later on? No. Just no. Didn't happen. It was all a dream, cus No.

 

Seriously, I gave up about 8 hours of game progress to go back and change it cus I can't let him do that. It'd have been one thing if he just became more spirit like, using his experiences in the mortal plane to enhance that somehow or something. But forgetting the Cole part of himself entirely?

 

And it was so creepy, too. You call him Cole in a tone that's clearly asking if he's alright and his response is a distant "...You can continue to call me that if you wish. I'm here to help..." It was like a pod person.

 

I know, "Both paths are valid" blah blah blah. But I read Asunder, Cole is the baby of my group, and I'm sorry fade nerd boyfriend, but we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. (Solas gets over it, anyway, and even sincerely wishes Cole luck with being more human in the end, so its cool.) My original instinct was to side with Varric, anyway. Just goes to show I shouldn't second guess myself. lol

 

Number 2: Going with Josephine's idea to contact the archduke of Wycome and get him to help my clan.

 

Again, the text beneath both her and Leliana's cards had warning bells go off in my head and I was like "You know, it *is* suspicious bandits are being allowed to do as they will around there. And they're well armed..." First instinct was to go with Cullen, but I second guessed myself and chose Josie instead. The mission timer favors her and that hadn't actually blown up in my face, yet. Plus she can work diplomatic miracles sometimes. I'd seen that.

 

So, yeah, again, my first instincts are best, apparently. lol  (And yes, I reloaded this one, too. Yay for save-scumming? lol) At least I did better on all the subsequent decisions and now my clan helps rule a city state. lol

[Delphine]

Sided with mage, made them free allies.
Got Leliana unhardened as Divine,
Put Briala & Celene on the throne,
Made Cole more spirit-like,
Saved the Chargers
Saved the Grey Wardens
Saved Blackwall
 
All those above, I wouldn't change one bit. This is my canon playthrough.
Although, even if I'm also pretty satisfied with all the sit in judgments I did (almost no blood shed - Erimond had it coming), I still wished I hadn't make Lucius a Tranquil.
That was harsh, and cruel, I wished I had gone another way for that judgment.
 
Other than that, will never change anything else.

I didn't hate it, per se, as it left me wondering. Iirc, Morrigan said that a war wouldn't be avoided, even as Celene tried to keep the balance; so I couldn't help thinking if I had forced the Inquisition to take a side in an eventual civil war when I had meant it to keep a more neutral profile. And even though I realise the Inquisition interfering in the assassination attempt isn't exactly neutral either, it still felt like I had done something very wrong.

Not that I want Briala and Celene united, to  be honest, even if it looks like the 'best' outcome, apparently.

Recruiting sera and telling that elven woman to join the grey wardens.

[warblewobble]

I brilliantly decided my first playthrough would be the nightmare difficulty one to get it out of the way. (Lowly console peasant here- wanted the achievement.) This meant that I didn't know the consequences of drinking from the well and was stuck with a nigh impossible boss fight as a result. Luckily, I go by the adage of "save early, save often" and was able to hop back to a save file shortly before that decision.

 

Story-wise I regret that I accidentally ended up making Sutherland a cook and missing his whole line of quests as well as getting the wardens wiped out by the end of their war table missions from sustaining high casualties too often.

 

I also kind of regret killing off all the high dragons on a more recent playthrough. It's a little sad. Wish there was a way to get them to respawn.

 

Oh, and I will NEVER complete the shard hunter quest again. By the end of it I was trying to get all the shards simply out of spite.

[Forsythia77]

On my first playthrough I told that girl in Crestwood to join the Wardens (I was romancing Blackwall and wanted his approval).  D'oh.  NEVER AGAIN.  I don't have issues with a lot of other things Hawke vs Stroud is me picking Hawke to live every time.  I cannot do that to Varric because he was my favorite companion in DA2 and I still adore him in this game. I do regret not realizing sooner that that initial conversation in Haven with Leliana killing her traitorous spy leads to her being hardened.  I really don't have issues conscripting the mages or the templars or taking their help as an alliance.

 

I also feel bad about killing the dragons.  Honestly most of the dragons remind me of cats in how they move about and I kind of love cats.  So killing the dragons is kind of like me killing my cat.  And that is just not cool.  I mean, Sandy Howler wasn't bothering anyone out there in that desert.  She was just sleeping with her dragon head upside down looking adorable.  And it's not like there are bunches of people living in the Hissing Wastes anyhow.

[PCThug]

In the temple of Mythal I jumped in the hole after Samson because I hate puzzles. Ended up killing all the elven sentinals. 2nd playthrough I realized how easy said puzzles were and felt guilty.

 

Also inadvertently hardened Leliana. Tried to throw all my support behind Cassandra to compensate but it was too late. Hardened Leliana became the Divine.

 

Probably messed up a bunch of war table missions but, since they're not logged in the journal, I'm not entirely sure.

[Serza]

Saving Seggrit in Haven. Ungrateful bastard!

 

Damn right.

 

I had two playthroughs so far, once I failed to find Seggrit on time, the other - Nightmare. I failed to protect Threnn well enough on the second. Glad the first is canon, not the second. Seggrit makes a much better sole casualty than Threnn.

[Serza]

I agree! I always save everyone in Haven, but he's one causality I wouldn't cry over.

 

Exactly. If SOMEONE has to die, let Seggrit be the casualty.

 

If you can save everyone, well... Lucky day for Seggrit.

[Maiafay]

Am I the only one who doesn't mind a hardened Leliana? I don't regret it one bit.

And I always talked that girl in Crestwood out of joining the Wardens, and now that I know what happens, I'm so glad I did it. Talk about a kick in the face.

I always get Blackwall out of jail too. Leaving him there seems wrong. He's part of my team despite his past mistakes, and dead people can't make amends.

I do regret being Gaspard's "guest" and then turning on him. It felt really rude, lol. Like: "Hey, thanks for the invite, but later I'm having you executed, kay?"

Killing high dragons that were minding their own business. I can see dealing with the spawning ones, but the sleeping girl in the Hissing Wastes, or the playful one in the Exalted Plains? Even the one in the Western Approach had to be baited into attacking me. I'd feel better about myself if they were eating villagers or setting crops on fire.

Letting Josephine handle my Inqusitor's clan issues D:

[The Baconer]

Not executing Florianne.

[Boost32]

Not executing Florianne.

Im curious for the why, if you made her a agent and agree with her plain for her mission, she doesnt betray you and remain at your service .

I can get by without her help. I prefer the statement made by capping her at the ball, after revealing her plot.

[almasy87]

Oh boy.. first pt was so bad. First I forgot to set the keep so I had default state..
Anyway..
- Leaving Leliana hardened because I didn't know you could unharden her. It kinda hurt me seeing her like that..
- Only saved 2 people in Haven, I missed many of them xD
- Sending the woman to join the Wardens
- Killed all the elven sentinels because I thought if I didn't I wouldn't be able to get the well...
- Letting Morrigan drink from the Well
- Making Vivienne Divine (never again, my God xD)

I made sure to correct all the mistakes in the next playthroughs. Except
- Accidentally slaughtering all Clan Lavellan because I trusted in Cullen when I should have sent Leliana and not reloading that one...

Hunting down a bear that's attacking one of my camps. It's only defending it's territory. Then when you get to it's cave you have to kill it's two cubs too. I felt awful about that. All because my damn scouts couldn't find another place to camp.

[Serza]

Letting Josephine handle my Inqusitor's clan issues D:

 

Definitely.

 

You can tank like THE WALL, murder High Dragons like Sera, but you'll never solve things like Commander Cullen.

 

Although, I still haven't gotten to actually... making my Clan something in that PT.

Leliana may prove to be the only right choice, but to protect them? Cullen's troops are the ONLY force the Inquisitor can really count on on the battlefield.

Well, you can definitely count on the Grey Wardens, too, but you only get them with the right choices, and they're an asset too valuable to be simply thrown into a regular battle.

It's called Rules of Engagement. No matter what, if something attacks you, it dies. Horribly. Repeatedly if necessary.

[procutemeister]

Accidentally getting my Lavellan's clan killed by assassinating the Duke of Wycome...

 

Also, throwing Erimond in prison. I should have executed the bastard.
