@@valerobledo89 Heh, I don't think so. I don't think he approves of meaningless violence. The world didn't become better (or 'better', according to Solas) because he got punched. Besides, he didn't get punched for what he did as a mythical figure, he got punched because the Inquisitor has poor impulse control. Solas would not take that as punishment for his past deeds the same way that he wouldn't take falling off some hill in the Hinterlands while trying to follow the controlled character (and taking damage for his own poor pathfinding ugh :P) as punishment. Some people say he approves because he sees his prejudice once again reinforced, which makes some sense, but imo it's a little too deep for how the approval system otherwise seems to work. (Then again we have that one time when he disapproves of asking a question, and it's if the Inquisitor follows up after he lets it slip that he had been at court before. Approving of curiosity and informing oneself except when it threatens his 'cover' is a bit deep too, so who knows...)

And all mages would be required to go to a " mage college" where they learn about magic and it's dangers not unlike how a child is required to go to school.

[@Former_Halo_Fan]

Glass Tab No one would stand for that. Moving your furniture around is not an offense punishable by death. Your advisers and most of your companions will disapprove (whether they like Vivienne or not, they will still think you are going too far.) The public would be outraged, and the Inquisition would be gain a reputation for being tyrannical. Seriously, she never betrayed you. She just disagreed with you on mage freedom and played an immature prank. That's it. If you think that is punishable by death, then you are one messed up individual.

[@NoAndNo]

Lord Tryhard So making you look weak by defying you and showing how much she can just get away with, without consequence is "just a prank bro"? Vinvienne is just a huge bitch if you ask me. I couldn't care less that she's influential or Plays "The Game". I fucking hate "The Game", it's one of the worst things in Dragon Age's story. Also pretty much everyone else hates her since she's a total bitch to them, she's a coward when it comes to demons (i.e. Cole), and you have to be role playing as a very specific kind of character in order to not piss her off. Making (impacting) immoral or evil decisions should have been in the game if you ask me. Leading the Inquisition down the road that is shown by the envy Demon if you side with the Templars far sure should have been a thing, even if it were a bad ending. Also if execution isn't your thing then how about god damn banishment from the Inquisition (or anything that doesn't involve being a fucking pussy). Obviously you don't need her since you can choose not to recruit her in the first place.

Hacker 13 first off solas isn’t a magister lol. He is more powerful than that. Secondly, I don’t agree. His sexuality informs most of his chracter. His quest is about that. Sera is lesbian. But it never comes up in her quest. He is a stereotype. The other characters are not in the same way he is. There are wel written gay and trans and lesbian characters. Dorian isn’t one of them. So, why should I rephrase it? Is that you are offended that I say the gay man part? Cuz I am not saying there are not tough gay men. The stereo type is Effeminate. Which Dorian comes off as a stereotype. I could go on how his chracter doesn’t make sense for a real world comparison.

It is interesting how much more sense Solas' dialogue makes when thinking of Trespasser. He's pretty much comparing the Inquisitor to one of the evanuris and his hatred makes so much more sense. It's just really cool. Also the blight stuff. He must know SOMETHING about it that we don't.

[@Dark_Voice]

Maybe the blight is a tool of the Elven gods (Evanuris whatever) that wanted to whipe out everyone with it. The darkspawn get smarter around those high dragon gods as well so maybe its because the archdemons allow Darkspawn to communicate with the evanuris beyond the fade and the Evanuris actually pull the strings?

@@SeventhheavenDK Solas is correct in his claim that the Templar organization "saves people from thinking" even if he himself is a pretty narrow minded person, coming at it from his own biases. The leaders of the templars promoted unquestioning fear of both mages and magic in general, with Cullen being a good example of what that helped bring about. Even Cassandra starts questioning her faith when she finds out the truth about the ones behind the Templars, the Seekers, and how they abused the Rite of Tranquility. The Chantry and the Templars are pretty fucked up. Not necessarily every person in them, but the organizations as a whole. Its why Cassandra, despite her strong faith, acknowledged the need for change within the organizations, even if she did not think they should be abolished and rebult from scrap. The Templars have earned the ire towards them, make no mistake. With someone like Cassandra in charge though they could be reformed into something that actually works for the benefit of everyone in place of just persecution of mages and people the Chantry does not like or agree with.

[@judeab6560]

Conrad Korbol Also, ofc his dad is homophobic. He literally tried to use blood magic to convert his son.

[@conradkorbol]

Jude AB his dad wants him to have kids. Which, historically, most gay nobles did. If you are no or you had kids. Even Alexander the Great the power bottom had kids. And the vast majority of the dragon age world is ok with homosexuality. So Dorian’s character strikes me as very strange and unnecessary. The vast majority of the world wasn’t homophobic until religions persecuted by the Roman’s took power. So it would be nice to see a world that’s just not homophobic. The issue with Dorian was that he didn’t want to do his noble duty, when his dad realized that made him run off he tried to meet him and love him. So that’s why I say the homophobia is dubious.

Most of the others (Dorian, Cole, Cassandra and Solas) are very angry while Vivienne hides behind all her 'darlings' and 'my dears' and Blackwall is mostly disappointed. Varric's disapproval is heart-wrenching too, but Sera's talk about "I need you to not be like that" is sad! She is sweet underneath all that fear that makes her caustic at times.

Well considering how people, especially adults, constantly let Sera down, I think it's downright saint of her that she actually begs Quizzy to reconsider their stance instead of you know, ruthlessly pranking them or killing them outright for pissing her off. If the Quizzy is not some unnamed and plot-unimportant noble, they will be killed right on the spot by a vengeful Sera.

Given her attitude, I expected Sera to explode since a low-approval Inquisitor embodies what she really hates. Instead she just begged not to be like those shitty nobs.

I can't imagine having anyone's disapproval; I'm far too much of a people-pleaser. When Sera was mad at me after our post-Mythal discussion, I reloaded that part just to get her not-mad (if that makes sense).

[@sanablue]

Ikr?? I once accidently (is that a word?) clicked the wrong decision and said she could leave because she does not fit the whole inquisition thing. I was so shocked and afraid that she would really leave me. (Good thing is, she did not and I could save it last minute...but whew.)

[@Ruosteinenknight]

So long as you have basic manners, it's entirely possible to go the whole game without making anyone of your enemy, even if you make plot choices they disapprove. Solas for example is swimming with "slightly approves" when you just ask him things. (I managed to even stay friendly with Sera and Vivienne, of all people) However, you can easily get these if you start a new game with "Trials" enabled and use "Fair weather friends" trial. Negative rewards from disapproval are doubled, so it's possible to lose people after you have recruited them when game retroactively applies approvals. dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Trials

But he betrays you even if you were in love. There's no doubt in my mind he was Reeducated? Why? He stated himself when he had doubts he went to the Reeducators and they fixed him up easy as pie, like how the Tamassrans "help" those in need. It's just a simple interaction for them. Iron Bull went to the Reeducators because that's simply what would be expected. "You've been in the bas lands too long, report to the Reeducators." "Aye, boss." *Goes and gets fucked in the head.*

People tend to hate Cole since he's invasive into other people's memories and thoughts... which is understandable. I'd agree with them if he were a human or a demon, but he isn't. There is a pretty distinct difference between spirits and demons in this game. Spirits are almost always, if not always, benevolent and well-intending... and seeing as Cole is a spirit of compassion, he probably doesn't judge you unless you're a despicable person. So, yeah. I personally don't understand it. I love Cole, and I look at the Fade as Solas does. I have since I first played a Magi origin and talked to Wynne. She was probably aided by a compassion spirit, too.
