  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.

I gotta hand it to Corypheus; he really loved monologuing.

Cole's good too.

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 Tal 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..

 

Ahem. It's Vashoth if you please, thank you. Never having been part of the Qun Vashoth Inquizzy could never have left.

 

In seriousness - SOLAS' STORIES. (I'm still trying to understand the dwarf/stone/sun one if anyone knows what that one is about) His stories are some of the most beautiful prose I've ever read in a game.

I liked the part where Iron Bull drunkenly told Lavellan he had an amazing ass and Lavellan's answer was "aww."

I suppose he did a fair amount of it, but Timmy, Sovereign, and Saren are still BioWare's Three Kings of that trope.

Cole, basically any prolonged interaction with him. I just love how they manage to stick with his manuerisms so thoroughly. Every time my Inquisitor excuses himself saying "We'll talk later", him going "How do you know that?" catches me somehow off-guard.

 

 

One of the "fears"-spider-enemies in the Fade is literally called, when targeted, "Ironically, spiders".

 

I'm also not very smart, so that passes.

Arishok writing is godly? Hell no. NO.

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.

Ive never really understood Sovereign's popularity, apart from the "We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it" line, nothing it says is memorable whatsoever, is mostly just "grrr bow before my greatness & superiority" ego talk

Sovereign has some nice vocal processing. It's the kind of voice you want for your voicemail.

 

Rudimentary creature of blood and flesh: you touch our number, stumbling in darkness. You have called, because we allow it; you will leave a message at the tone, because we demand it.

I've always liked Harbinger more for this reason. His petty arrogance at least manifested as entertaining ****-talking.

 

I KNOW THIS HURTS YOU.

All flash no substance. He's a frenzied 5 year old boy in a giant's body.

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.

I think it has more to do with how and less with what.

 

You don't really get to talk about any particular  topic  at length with characters in DAI and often for them to tell you something interesting, to have that "punchline", you need to follow a particular dialogue line (by choosing some "investigate" options and not the others) otherwise it get really watered down. Also no zooming in on the face to observe expressions and well for general atmosphere doesn't help.

I couldn't stand the Arishok.  Some of the stuff he said was interesting, but most of the time I just wanted to drive my axe into his skull.
