Since i love the qun and particularly the quote of the Arishok from DAII and i was also disappointed that we can only play as a  Vashoth Inquisitor, i wish to know if for some of you there are others wonderful lines dialogue coming from the characters of the franchise that you can consider as a godly writing (At this scope beside the Arishok the only one who had impressed me was Corypheus but only for a few quote).... so thoughts or better some quote from some character?

 

The line from 5:19 are superbe..

Most recently, it's been Solas' writing that has really impressed. His dialogue had a very beautiful, lyrical quality that actually became rather poetic in places. His stories about his journeys in the Fade are what made the greatest impression on me, with lines such as "...carrying harmonies no Chantry choir has mastered. Though their cause was hopeless, they sang songs that made the spirits weep" really striking me to the extent that I play it over in my head, almost as you would a song.  

 

I can't commend Patrick Weekes enough for writing like that. Truly magnificent. 

[Precursor Meta]

Almost every character in inquisition says at least one line that makes me think: "Damn, that's some good writing."

[SofaJockey]

No.

No.

Solas and Cassandra have godly writing IMO. Iron Bull intrigued me as well, and I like Corypheus' prose, I just find that his actions and motives are lacking and there wasn't really a deep villain in there.

[CronoDragoon]

Corypheus: I have gathered the will to return under no name but my own. To champion withered Tevinter and correct this blighted world. Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the Gods. And it was empty.

Love this line.

[Sweawm]

Love this line.

 

Shame that we barely saw Corypheus the entire game. He has... what, three appearances all up and only twice in those instances has dialogue?

I had mentioned Corypheus especially for that line.

Yeah. I got what they were trying to do with his story they just didn't execute it perfectly. That being said I still like him as a character.

[Ashagar]

I rather liked the speech Cassandra gave about closing the breech and hunting down those responsible as she told off the chancellor made me glad not to be on her bad side and the speech you give to the Templars playing up the herald of Andraste bit after the envy fight was nothing less than glorious, bonus if you use the female British voice.

 

And of course the opening scene where they introduce Cassandra and she interrogates Varric back in DA:2 is gloriously, it pretty well set the tone for her character in DA:I.

Cory actually had some pretty good lines.

 

It's too bad they messed up how he was as a villain in pretty much every other regard. I would have loved to see him have more dialogue.

[ElementalFury106]

Solas, Cassandra, and Dorian have infinitely impressed me. Each playthrough I appreciate their writing more and more.

 

A lot of lesser characters have also impressed me. Corporal Vale, Bater by Belle, Enchanter Ellendra, Minaeve, Sutherland, are some examples. Excellent NPC's.

[Laughing_Man]

Well, to be honest I don't see anything godly about the Arishok - or the Qunari for that matter.

There is no deep wisdom in what he says, only Qunari propaganda, the logic feels about the same as ME3's Star Child.

 

Conversely, there are many interesting and well written characters in DA:I: Cassandra, Sera, Dorian, Solas, and more.

[leaguer of one]

I add Morrigan and Flemeth.

[BabyPuncher]

I agree that Solas generally had the most impressive lines and had a very well done style of speech. Which is part of the reason I don't care for the epilogue much. I wouldn't want to see a fairly compelling soft spoken and reserved character have an about-face and turn into a megalomaniac or trickster or whatever. We'll see how that pans out. I still wouldn't call his writing 'godly" or even "great."

 

That's really it, honestly. I like Cassandra the most, and her romance was sweet, but nothing she said really resonated with me. Blackwall showed some promise, but it ultimately fizzled out. Dorian, Josaphine, Cullen, all likeable enough, but no real strong moments come to mind. Cole was okay.

 

The rest? Eh. Or outright blah.

[KaiserShep]

The Arishok was a compelling zealot for sure. A lot of what he says is horseshit, but he really knows how to sell it.

I think that these people are mostly just suckers for a deep, threatening male voice. It's the same thing with Sovereign in Mass Effect. Neither the arishok nor the Reaper had particularly interesting dialogue in and of themselves, and in some cases the dialogue communicated ideas that were outright idiotic. But both characters were acted with dark male menace, so they got fans.

[MrMrPendragon]

The Arishok didn't say anything that I found interesting. Just slap in a few 10 dollar words together, turn it into dialogue, and suddenly you have good writing.

Heh, I can vouch for that myself. I feel like people tend to assume I know more than I actually do when I speak. Having a very deep voice probably does a lot of that. As does being tall and tending to dress a bit on the formal side.

 

Patriarchy strikes again!

And you should all be grateful!

[Orian Tabris]

I add Morrigan and Flemeth.

 

Flemeth had amazing writing in Origins. Particularly when you return to kill her for Morrigan.

 

Flemeth: "At last, lovely Morrigan has found someone willing to dance to her tune."

Warden: "You think I should dance to your tune, instead?"

Flemeth: "Why dance at all? Why not sing?"

[Nimlowyn]

Solas and Corypheus both deliver lines that make me shiver and leave me in awe, in completely different ways.

 

Morrigan's speech is elegant and idiosyncratic, and particularly refined in DAI. I enjoy hearing her speak.

 

Sera delivers lines that either give me a chuckle or make me go "dafuq I just hear?" 

 

Varric, of course, is Varric. He always knows how to get an a-hole's attention. 

[ThelLastTruePatriot]

  It's touch and go, some characters I can't get enough of, but it may be more to the credit of the voice actor/actress than the writing itself. I never tire of Flemeth, but then again I love Kate Mulgrew's voice. Morrigan either. As for coryfishstick, while the actor has an amazing voice, I didn't think his lines were all that profound, and they smacked of saturday morning cartoon villainy.
