Dragon Age: Inquisition - Cassandra reads smutty novels to Cole (and denies it)

[@alexc119]

"Whatever you do, don't tell Varric!" *immediately runs off to tell Varric*

[@ajaderabbit8399]

How strange it is that I did just that

[@Fyrebrand18]

I'm sure everyone did that.

[@fulvio3211]

Juan Paolo Datu Yeah, the only way to continue the quest is tell it to Varric

[@DynoSkrimisher]

If not, people would do it anyway, because he's everyone's wingman.

[@pokefan213]

XD same "Pretend you don't know this about me." Me: *never forgets that I know this about her*

[@datemasamune2904]

I find it adorable that Cassandra actually read it to Cole.

[@GmTy]

Date Masamune she needed someone to listen and he was happy to help

[@gendoruwo6322]

or to Cole's perception, it's like EVERYONE is reading a book (their own books) to him.

[@humanLucifer]

@@gendoruwo6322 yeah, basically reading any book would sound like reading it aloud to cole

[@Calekoflight]

To be fair, when she said she never read it aloud to him...she might not remember. But Cassandra, being a Seeker, might be immune to that particular gift of his....not sure.

[@gzapray7203]

Lmao imagine you read a smutty literature as a bedtime story lol XD

[@deddahl9273]

THATS WHY SHE TOOK HIM HOSTAGE shes a bloody fan girl lol

I freaking love Cass's VA "I NNNNEVER DID THAT!!" "disgusted noise" xDDD When you go to Varric and say "no wonder she's embarassed", he actually reveals it's not smutty at all, light-romance at best. Cass, why you so pure???

[@GunmetalRaven]

She's quite a passionate creature. Whatever is not written, is clearly in her heart as an expectation, apparently. XD I suspect Cullen may have a similar reaction though. Ten pages in, blushing. "I... I don't have time for this..."

“Command him to...” Now now Cassandra what kind of ruler would we be to abuse our position like that? A very good one according to Varric.

”I never did that” What worries me is that she would not be fully lying as cole can make her forget

They should’ve included the “Adopt Cole” quest line .

[@timemonkey]

'Pretend you do not know this about me.' is probably the funniest moment in the series.

[@RekttalofBlades]

The moment her voice kind of cracks when she yells “don’t tell Varric” I knew she was the one my inquisitor was falling for. Her voice gets so much higher pitched when she’s uncomfortable and it’s so cute

oh god. i love cole

Aww, Cole's so nice and innocent. I wish everyone liked him.

[@hazirahnajihahali]

"They're terrible. And magnificent". Every time I read smutty fanfics.

[@SleepyKwee]

Cassandra reading them to Cole. 💜 Just a mother looking after the demon son that her husband adopted. 😂

[@sainttan]

Underneath that tough knight lies the heart of a pure maiden. I think she beats all the DA series female love interest with her absolute momments of adorableness. Cassandra is so MOE. (Japanese slang that describe my feeling about her) ^_^

[@GunmetalRaven]

Maybe even a touch tsundere. XD

[@sainttan]

If tsundere was a word in a dictinary of Thedas, I'm pretty sure Cassandra's portrait would be there. (No thanks to Varric, & if she ever saw that, the Seeker would hunt the Storyteller down) XD

[@GunmetalRaven]

Santo Tan I want to see tsundere maid Cassandra fan art now... Someone has to have made it somewhere... XD

[@makara4615]

I'll keep it at the Japanese words: Cass is really kawaii in her own way, but she is not the most moe character in the franchise. That would be Merril from Dragon Age 2.

[@sainttan]

Dang it! I forgot about Merril. >_< Well maybe if we type "dragon age cassandra maid pure moe" maybe it some would appear. ^_^

[@MJSpiritual]

Oh this is all kinds of adorable hahaha.

i love cassandra and cole so much

[@Outlaw8908]

Still find this part so funny and yet so... humanizing for Cassandra. I also found a bit I never saw before... Had no clue Cole could be there. Almost every time I play through its Dorian. Which is also very funny.

[@dddrones]

this little questline is still the best in any video game ever

[@mayamellissa]

I adore Cole. Way more than some others... I wanna hug him.

[@BlimeyGames]

I don't recall ever having a companion walk by and comment during this scene. I heard Dorian can walk by and say something too - any idea how to trigger that? Do you have to do the companion quests first?

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

BlimeyGames TheSpaceTiger Here's the one with Dorian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6i2knycq8iHj80 and Like StealthRpgGamer said, you get Cole walk by when siding with Templars and Dorian when siding with Mages, but you need to "Look for Cole" first.

[@Edwardthe5th]

+FluffyNinjaLlama Aww I love Dorian but for this I'd rather have Cole. Wish I didn't have to side with the Templars to get it.

[@XEarlCielX]

+Crown V As you get put in charge of their fate, you could play it that your inquisitor sides with them in order to help change their minds on mages (Either as a mage themselves or an ally to mages.)

[@Wolfing1785]

+FluffyNinjaLlama So Cole with Templars and Dorian if you side with Mages?

[@5haursirnaik282]

when I watch DAI and mass effect andromeda the DAI conversation between two characters seems so natural and so realistic like witcher 3 but in andromeda it's like talking to a robot

[@xenon8117]

What is mass effect andromeda? Oh right you mean that “mass effect” game that had manly asari, ugly chalky-skinned turians and no Quarians? I’ve dismissed the claim that it is mass effect.

[@Norinia]

lol its funny how in the beginning she begs the inquisitor not to tell Varric but then she gets so hyped up about the book she forgets that and ask the inquisitor to COMMAND him to do another book before she could catch herself lol.

[@luizpaulonm]

She disapproved every single one of my main choices.... but I simply cannot hate her, in fact, it makes me like her even more. Can you imagine her, as Divine Victoria, reading smutty literature? HAHAHAAHAHAH

[@icebearwbb]

1:30 I love the detail they put into Cassandra's eyebrow. That subtle drop when she stuttered is hilarious hahaha!

[@assassinsden7478]

This was funny when I saw it in my game, and it's funny that you recorded it for all to see.

[@hannahmeaker4595]

WHAT?! i never got that dialogue in this scene?!! :O she's corrupting cole's innocence

[@fluffking2311]

And we all embarrassed her by making Varric write her that book. Because we're such good people. Or because it was too good of an reaction we all expected and HAD to see it.

[@Tasuke]

Watch them eventually do a plot twist where the games in their entirety are based on Varric's writings. I was thinking about this at work today.

[@brodyfalcon5403]

" I don't like the captain either ", Cole just brings more fun to conversation lmfao 😂

[@stealthrpggamer]

The quest is named guilty pleasure if I remember right I loved getting varric to write her a book it was so funny.

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

I love how she ends up being a hopeless romantic. Never expected that of Cass meeting her for the first time in DA2.

[@ShadowSoul92]

The first time I played and met Cole, he gave me the chills, then I thought he was an empath, (in the world of magic there are, and DA is a magical world), then I realized playing that he was a spirit ... most of the spirits you meet on DA are demons (anger, hunger, laziness etc ...) but Cole is compassion ... so he feels the pain of other people ... In my gameplay I made him a spirit to the fullest of his abilities ... I hope it doesn't backfire, as apparently everyone in DAI betrays you in some way, or almost everyone ...

[@JadeStone860]

I love this so much. I love that Cassandra is such a romantic at heart, and I'm very glad that this quest line isn't tied to her romance.

[@carinathegriffin]

This is awesome. I had no idea Cole could be part of the scene. How do you get that??

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

AFAIK you get Cole pass by when siding with Templars and Dorian when siding with mages. Just be sure to talk to Cole at least once when in Skyhold before triggering this scene.

[@Warren13958]

Cole is like that weird mysterious brother who is goofy you but care about none the less

[@masterdude9419]

Haha! This=my current Inquisition playthrough, though my Tal-Vashoth is romancing Cassandra. And yes, the size difference between the two DOES make the romance scene a little...odd, if you were wondering.

You activate this from picking mages or Templars to side with if u side with Templars u have cole if u have mages then u have Dorian.

[@DarkKnight52365]

well in that case ill never get this exact scene since ill always go after the mages

[@stealthrpggamer]

Same here I picked the Templars my 1st time playing it was not fun I had to re play it and get th mages the second time playing but it was worth it

[@katxheartgaming]

That's all well and good, but I've never had anyone come by, no matter who I side with. I've gotten this scene four out of seven playthroughs(cuz those were the only ones I bothered paying time to Cass in) and I never got anyone stepping into the conversation. Always just me and her..

[@stealthrpggamer]

Weird must be u need there approval high to get them also I got Dorian for the second one and cole for the 1st one so it could also count that but I am not sure we don't have anything to tell us if u are on there good side or not

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

janewaychakotay4evr You need to "look for Cole" first and let him stay, and I think you need talk to Dorian at least once in Skyhold

[@kanden27]

I like her character so much. When I try to romance her it takes too long to get through her that I get swept up by Iron Bull. Because he always comes on stronger.

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

If you side with Templars, you get Cole in this scene.

[@toriwatson-haley206]

FluffyNinjaLlama Really? I sided with the Templars and got Dorian anyway... That's so curious.

[@henrygarcia1203]

Tori Watson-Haley I got Cole but I sided with Mages :/

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

Henry Garcia +Tori Watson-Haley No idea then, the way it happens in my game is that I get Cole when siding with the Templars and Dorian when siding with the Mages so I figured that was it.

[@cassietad3178]

FluffyNinjaLlama I think it has something to do with who you're better friends with. First time I played this I got Dorian, after I had done his personal quest and before Cole's. Second time, I got Cole when I had not done Dorian's quest. I don't know if that has everything to do with it though

[@Georghellsing2]
