...For example, the Inquisitor could set up an encounter there for Cole...

Iron Bull already tried:

  • Iron Bull: So how was Candy? You two have a good time?
  • Cole: Yes. She danced. Then I untangled the hurt that made her angry at her mother.
  • Cole: I helped her write a letter to send back home. She said I could call her Marguerite, the name didn't hurt anymore.
  • Iron Bull: Well, that was five royals well-spent.

Hawke might have had the ability to keep a slave, but if you want to suggest he (or she) was busy porking a little elven girl then you'll want to take that particular set of issues somewhere else. They really don't belong here. There's plenty of violence and sex to go around in these games, I think we can do with there being a baseline level of decency. Forced sexual anything definitely crosses that.

 

I do agree with the poster who said Val Royeaux would have been a more likely place for a brothel. At least, one would suppose so. It'd probably cost you a bit in coin, because I don't imagine them being anything but high-level courtesans in that case.

And who will decide baseline. If we listen to some people only game we play will be teletubbies. And murder is crossing the line but it's fine for Sera to bash someone's head. I don't see people complaining only laugh. And in judgement we can murder people, forcing someone  slavery much better punishment.

Kind of a false argument, 9TailsFox. Although murder is generally upheld as the worst act someone can commit, we often regard killing in real life as necessary and even moral. Killing in a video game is even more necessary; simply beating up random mobs of Venatori isn't going to prevent them from serving Corypheus, and there is no way to feasibly jail every ne'er-do-well you come across. Batman isn't the hero Thedas needs.

 

There is no "heroic" use of slavery. You can only kill someone once, but slavery is ongoing and lifelong victimization.

if there was the option to allow a brothel to set up shop in a wing of skyhold I'd happily do so just to watch the religious extremists inside of the inquisition froth at the mouth.

And murder is not punishment like you say can be killed only once. This is I liked most in DA:I we don't need to kill, yes we kill random NPC canon fodder :( . but real characters with name can be used for good to atone crimes.Hell I wouldn't even kill Cory if we have option. Murder never moral. Yes I agree Batman should just kill Joker and be done with it he is lost but most people not.And it's funny how we all hypocrites Look at our loved characters Zevran, Sten, Isabella, Anders. they all deserve to be punished some even deserve death sentence. But we judge people who done far less crime and praise and love our companions. I think I getting off topic so I end my rant.

Lol you wouldn't kill Cory? Remember the last time he was imprisoned? Even from a holding cell, he can influence the minds of anything carrying the taint, essentially being able to launch his own mini blight or make the Wardens wipe themselves out. That's a serious liability that only a fool would allow to exist if the ability to eliminate him was possible. The only good darkspawn is a dead darkspawn.

Even Revan was saved from dark. Call me stupid, but Cory is not some psychopath as Joker. He smart. And blight can be cured. Well if you want vengeance kill and be done with it, But I never kill Zevran even if he is as bad as Cory.

The Blight cannot be cured, not in a living person. Even the Joining can only delay a person's death from the taint. And Corypheus is a darkspawn; he IS the disease you hope to cure.

Fiona was cured. It wasn't delayed, the blight was completely removed. But you are right about Corypgeus.....there is no way to cure him.

Oh sorry I gues no  one told it to Fiona.

And Taint what makes Cory immortal. Avernus warden in DA extended his life beyond natural mean. Everything is possible. Cory is was Human and he is more warden when mindless darkspawn.

How do you know it? And It's impossible to enter the fade physically. Tranquil can't be cured. Dwarfs can't use magic. Oh wait. You wrong warden went looking for cure. And I am sure our next hero larger when life will find it.

Oh right, Fiona. *Sigh*

In any case, Corypheus is a darkspawn. You cannot cure him of being a darkspawn anymore than you can cure a dragon of being a dragon.

Believe what you like. There is absolutely nothing to suggest a Darkspawn can become a human. Simple as that.

Fiona cured. Cory is human Sethius Amladaris. He not born darkspawn. And darkspawn, greay warden are all the same blighted creatures. 

There is absolutely nothing to suggest a Darkspawn can't become a human. Oh wait. There is all awakening game. We just need to go further.

Who needs a brothel when you have Josephine  :wub: , Leliana :blush: , And Dorian?  For me Having Josephine would have been enough to keep me entertained. But THIS Leliana. Too sexy. Dorian is cool.

That's not actually a thing in the DA setting.

I know y'all bring up Fiona and Avernus, but Fiona was "cured" by the Architect and Avernus was ass-deep in advanced blood magic. Not to say it's impossible but based on the two guys that actually cured it I'd imagine it might take a few living sacrifices.

Seems to me there should be a brothel for the Inquisition in Skyhold. DAO and DA2 had one. Use it to add some strange encounters. For example, the Inquisitor could set up an encounter there for Cole. Or, the Inquisitor could fool around there and risk being caught by their love interest, possibly putting an end to the romance.

 

I mean, the game already has some brief nudity and coarse language. If you did not want to go to the brothel, you wouldn't have to. Make encounters there totally optional.

 

Just a thought...

 

In a city, yes. In a castle, where refugee's are scrambling to get in, there's not much room, and resources are scarce... no... it doesn't make much sense. Plus, there would have to be a choice for the Inquisitor and Bioware probably banked on the chance that most wouldn't pick putting in a brothel for the "Herald of Andraste". So, for those reasons, they didn't spend their time and money on this idea.

A BROTHEL? Oh makers Breath, you wouldn't see any of my guys going there... (Actually, maybe my Cassandra romance, and only once after he got picked off by her). Nor would any of my females be going there (my Sera romance would, and would likely love a brothel so that she and Sera could watch... Pretty ladies..) but my Mage Treveylan? Nah, she's with Cullen, so no, no. That would not occure.

Kieran is cured dragon :lol:

 

Kieran has the soul of an Old God, which originated from an archdemon.  Archdemons are tainted Old Gods, and the only part of Kieran that is from the archdemon is, as I said, its soul.  The taint corrupts to body and mind, not the soul.  It's a physical corruption.

 

And Old Gods are dragons like Flemeth is a mage.  Kieran is a very, very poor example, at best.

 

Fiona cured. Cory is human Sethius Amladaris. He not born darkspawn. And darkspawn, greay warden are all the same blighted creatures. 

There is absolutely nothing to suggest a Darkspawn can't become a human. Oh wait. There is all awakening game. We just need to go further.

 

Cory is a darkspawn, not a ghoul.  A ghoul is a human/elf/dwarf/qunari who has been tainted beyond recovery, while a darkspawn is a separate being.  Grey Wardens are still tainted, it's just that their corruption progresses slower.  The Wardens, despite the fact that they are the most knowledgeable group on the surface regarding darkspawn and the taint, know of no cure to the taint.  iirc, Fiona being cured was never cleared up in terms of how it happened, though I could be wrong about that.

 

As for turning a darkspawn into a human, that's about a likely as changing a dwarf into a qunari.  All we saw in Awakening was that the darkspawn could gain consciousness through a reverse version of the Joining.  Despite possessing independent thought, they are still darkspawn.  There's no 'cure' for being a darkspawn since being a darkspawn isn't a disease.

 

Regarding Avernus; iirc, he studied both advanced blood magic and the effects of the darkspawn taint within Wardens, using a combination of the two to create his concoction and extend his own lifespan for several hundred years.

 

I do agree that the taint and the darkspawn should be explored more in depth at some point.  It's a section of the lore that's been ignored for the most part.
