Between this and her disapproving of me whenever I support mage freedom, I have a hard time liking her. It'd be one thing if she was just a prankster, but this particular quest makes it clear that she isn't.
I'll elaborate and recap. Sera, shortly after we set up in Skyhold, tells me she wants a favour. She wants to march Inqusition troops through Verchiel because "something something little people being pushed around something". One of the things that annoys me is that when I ask her for details she gets all snarky, like "Yeah, Maker forbid you do anything without knowing every single little thing that's going on, right?"
Anyway, what I can piece together from what she says AND what it says at the war table AND what it says on the wiki, a couple of nobles are squabbling over land, and refugees who were hoping to live on that land are being displaced.
I have a lot of questions at this point. Is anybody being killed? Exactly how severe is this "bullying" that Sera says is going on? How bad is the situation, exactly? This is important for me know.
Well, we don't find out. But I do what she asks, and then we go and find out that one of the nobles who she wanted me to intimidate with that show of force (because that's basically what it was) wanted to find out who was responsible and strike back.
This is what gets me. Before the Inquisition got involved, as far as I know nobody was dying or being tortured or anything. After we got involved, yeah, people got killed and the noble had a point when he says that our soldiers showing up in his area was a provocation. I'm not comfortable killing noble in cold blood even if he is kind of an *******, and for letting him go I get into an argument with Sera, where she tells me I'm stupid because "Let the bad man do what he wants because otherwise he might get worse?"
Actually, yeah Sera, that's exactly my thinking. The poor guy who got shot full of arrows said that all he did was complain about fighting in his area and suddenly there was this Inquisition presence and he was being accused of causing it. If we'd just left well enough alone, that guy would still be alive. And why the hell was a show of force the only option there, anyway? I'd much rather have gotten Josephine to handle it, to peacefully convince the two parties to stop fighting or posturing or whatever it was they were doing.
