He's actually correct cuz he said that the magic of spells are created by the spirits of the fade do if his friend uses it and he's a spirit hybrid thing it probably really can't hurt him

Inquisition really had the best party banter. Even better than origins. It informed their characters and managed to show growth. It's insane how underappreciated this was at launch.
And it’s such a pity that you barely hear any of it in the game, especially if you’re using fast traveling or horses often. That’s why I come here to listen to it.
Blackwall - " hey cole, say something interesting." Cole - " something interesting. " Blackwall -" I guess I deserved that one." HAHAHA cole is a troll.
Blackwall - "Your fine Cole, even with some of things that come out of your mouth." Cole - "There was once a man with bees coming out his mouth" Blackwall - "That's what I'm talking about..."
"Cole, you should be careful dancing around with those daggers when I'm throwing fire." "It won't hurt me, it's friendly fire." Oh my God, Cole, you slay me!!
Cole: "They're dragon horns, not bull horns. You should've named yourself The Iron Dragon." Bull: "Well............ Shit! That would've been better!" I'm done! hahahahahahaha XD
It would have been funny if that poke fun at that trope. Iron Bull: Yeah, I noticed. But everyone calls themselves a Dragon of some sort, it's kinda tired honestly. But Bull? That nicknames still got stone good milage on it and it is still terrifying. You wouldn't pick a fight with a Dragon, but you also wouldn't pick a fight with a Bull.
Dorian: I’m curious about you, that’s why I’m asking so many questions! Cole: :0 Im curious about you! Can I ask you questions? Dorian: Sure! Go ahead! Cole: great :) Why are you mad at your dad
The villan is still corfy face idk what you talk about lol. The next dragon age doesnt even have an actual villan yet just some plot waiting yet to be written perfectly
Cole: Your knife is big. Blackwall: It's a sword. Cole: It's bigger than mine. Blackwall: And now you've made it awkward... God, Cole's the best character ever!
Vivienne warms to him, but she recognizes a very real danger most fans fail to appreciate: Cole can become a demon and kill unceremoniously. She's not only been taught to fear demons and spirits, for they'll tempt and raze, but she has witnessed their destruction and warned others of it. And even SHE warms up to Cole at the end, learning that there's a grey she never appreciated before, even if there's a danger companionship can't remove.
Someone straight up played the dialogue over top of a game they had programmed with every single move. Props to BioWare for not just calling out random moves
You forgot one between Dorian and Cole. (upon entering the kitchen in the Winter Palace) Cole: "Breath painful, stabbing, and then real stabbing, lungs full, frothing, scent of apples as it all goes black." Dorian: "Death by apple pie," a lovely poem by our dear friend Cole.
@@PunkRockZombie205 IKR 🤣 , first time playing Dragon Age series from Inquisition have started just now and I really enjoy this type of game, will go backward to Origins and 2 after I finish this..
Cole-"I had to fight a rat for it." Cassandra-"Oh, thank you Cole." Cole-"He wasn't a very big rat." Dammit Cole, stahp, my heart can't take your adorableness.
Aknaught92 I loved his conversations with Blackwall. Sometimes I wished I could give that Warden a hug, Cole sounded like he would do the same - just to make the pain go away as he would describe it.
Varric: Alright who's the toughest, Liliana, Josephine, or Cassandra? Cassandra: I'm right here you know! Varric: that doesn't mean it rules you out. Solas: what about Cullen? Varric: who? Curly? They just keep him around because he looks pretty.
Varric is not wrong. Cullen is very pretty. But my bet is between Cassandra and Leliana. Leliana is versed in both politics and combat. Cassandra is likewise, but as a warrior instead of a rogue.
@@Witzke231 Let's not forget Josephine. She is much younger than Leliana and Cassandra but she is also a noble like Cassandra and well versed in the game. She has a lot of potential. She is also the only one who is business-minded. Is it not more impressive to turn an enemy into a friend than it is to kill them? Everyone has a price. I wonder what would've happened if Josie had become the Inquisitor? Corypheus would probably lose both of his generals through well timed dinner parties.
@@kraziiXIII actually Leliana is the toughest of them all. She’s survived quite a lot of events, the most important one being the 5th Blight after the complete and utter disaster at Ostagar instigated by Loghain.
I just played through the game with only Varric Solas and Cassandra. I wanted to hear what the rest would sound like and my god it's all gold as when I listened to Varric's sarcasm and wit or Solas's introspective.
1:19:17 *Cole:* "The Iron Bull, do you ever worry that a demon could be standing off to the left where your eye can't see?" *Iron Bull:* "Well I Do Now" ಠ_ಠ
I'm glad there are more video game developers that remember that your party members are people who can form their own opinions about the world around them. If you'd like a recommendation on another series with party banter, you should try the Tales of series. Their version of banter takes the form of these "skits" that play conversations while using animated portraits. Tales of Vesperia has hundreds of them!
On my very first playthrough of DAI, I ended up putting him in my party for a while alongside Dorian and The Iron Bull. Once Bull and Cole started bonding despite Bull's clear discomfort with anything spirited or demon-y, I was sold. Cole is my boy. I will fight for him.
Claramata Vivienne is a a very very very stern woman who doesn’t like to show her true emotions(look into some of her banter with Cole Dorian and Cassandra and Blackwall.
Cole talking about the Tamassran's thoughts when Bull leaves the Qun are really eye opening. She was happy he escaped. There's waaay more dissent in Par Vollen than the Qunari let on.
@@lewismartin3430 Likewise. I always meta-view it a my characters don't trust the Qunari as is, and getting Bull to side more with his new home, and the Chargers as his family, is the better way.
@@lewismartin3430 Spoilers I did once, was awful. I regretted it once he busted in. Was not worth anything. I cried for a solid 20 minutes...romancing him was the worst idea too,
9 interesting companions with great dialogue: *exists* Everyone: Cole: *breathes* Everyone: *holding their cameras up sobbing* "YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE"
+imAChristian I mean his character is amazing but stats wise he sucks since he can't use crafted bows and the Artficier tree is the weakest of the three rogue specializations.
If only the game hadn’t been so buggy when it was first released, I once broke through the world barrier in the redcliffe map and got to areas you don’t normally have access to without cheats or mods, it was awesome but I do wish it wasn’t so glitchy like it is
Dorian - “Ah, Solas. You startled me. You’re always so nondescript.” Solas - “Speak up. I can’t hear you over your outfit.” Makes me laugh every time 😂
@@shoyohinata3462 Funnily enough I put them all in the same cloth and metal. This line cracked me up especially since they were both in the same exact outfit.
*44:49**-**45:00* Vivienne: My dear Dorian, what did you think of little Sera's last Red Jenney mission? Dorain: I call it medium. Vivienne: Medium, my dear..? Dorian: Yes! It wasn't rare and it certainly wasn't well done. LMAO!!! 😂🤣
Waldorf: What was that? Statler: It's called the medium sketch. Waldorf: The medium sketch? Statler: Yeah, it wasn't rare, and it certainly wasn't well done. Both: DOHOHOHOHOHO!
I love everything about Cole and I am flabbergasted with how much full of soul his dialogues are, and with his beautiful voice acting. They genuinely gave a body, a face and a voice and made Compassion, a concept, into a living being. This talent IS Bioware. It kills me to see how everything EA touches ends up rotting away, but I hope Bioware finds itself again.
I read somewhere Cole was written based on how a person in the autism spectrum would act. Or something like that. It makes sense, though! But yes, I think he is one of the best, if not THE best, written character in Inquisition. I love him 😍
@@PlanetLovingMom That makes sense. I'm an Aspie myself and nothing like Cole, but some people with proper autism can get like this (Joe from The A Word is a great fictional example).
Actually do you need a hat i can help you with that(then proceeds to fix his life and show him that his father did truly love him(not cole the person he is helping)
When Cole explains the Joke to Sera he says "Cullen explains it better". Does that mean Cullen regularly explains things to Cole? Just jokes or other things too? Either way, the mental image is incredibly cute
Varric: "Look seeker, if you love a character you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer... Maybe throw in an heroic death" Varric: "I like the stories where the villain was the man beside you the whole time. The best villains don't see themselves as evil. They're fighting for a good cause and willing to get their hands dirty" Solas: "we all have a face we want to show and a face we do not." UGH BIOWARE. I HATE YOU.
Iron Bull: “Sera, I had a thought. The next time we run into a line of enemies, I’ll pick you up and throw you. Sera: “Get off.” Bull: “No, this could work. I loft you over the front ranks, you land behind them to flank- mayhem ensues.” Sera: “I can’t fly, you daft tit!” Bull: “Think of the mayhem, Sera. MAYHEM!”
“Tell me Cole, did you sense anything in Erimond? Any secret pain?” “No. Erimond was an arsehole.” That’s right my son. No redemption story for a mustache twirling bad guy
@@B-rex395 agreed, but if you do it, and you sided with the mages, well they don't remain so loyal judging by war table missions. Best just lop his head off, even if its giving him what he wants.
+Loveunit go to the journal entries > finished quests and make sure you go through all of the entries, don't leave anything unread (= the ones left with a golden mark). That should trigger the banter again. :)
***** Been doing that constantly, I do get banter, but it's not as often as it used to be in the previous games. It triggers quite often in the beginning, when it was only Solas, Varric and Cassandra as party members, but after Val Royeaux it began to feel rare.
Blackwall: “They say your family nearly drove the dragons into extinction. Shame, that. Majestic beasts.” Cassandra: “Majestic? Say that after you see a pile of dragon sh*t bigger than your house.”
Yeah. Often missed fantasy stuff, how big is x creatures shit. How scary would that be? Imagine being a farmer and walking out to your field, only to look up and see a black figure in the sky flying by and then seconds later a pile of shit the size of your house lands on you like bird shit.
I JUST realized that Cole is talking about Merrill with the "If you don't get some sunshine you'll wilt" thing when Varric asks him how he is. ughhh I love listening to Cole and picking apart everything he says, I swear there are always more little references to find :P
I could listen to Cole all day - His banter with almost every other character fleshes them out so subtly. Special tip of Cole's hat to Solas/Cole, Vivienne/Cole, Dorian/Cole, Blackwall/Cole. Especially making Dorian cry at 2:00
Dorian-Cole is absolutely amazing! In fact, all of Dorian's banter is wonderful, his VA is so masterful. I LOVE Solas/Dorian, how they geek out over the Fade together, lol.
I like it when he makes references on different series when you go to talk to him in the tavern. "He teaches them to fight with a secret flaw, part of a glorious strategy."-Jade Empire "He was their enemy the whole time, but she made him forget, so he could change."-Knights of the Old Republic "There is no other man. He becomes the other man to do the things he can't."-Fight Club "He didn't kill his father. He was his father."-Star Wars "He was dead the whole time, he didn't know."-The Sixth Sense "They don't know, but it's made of people."-Soylent Green
Overlord0011 i loved the soylent green reference, i wasn't expecting it and i think i laughed for an hour. The fight club one didn't click and it should have.
Overlord0011 ""There is no other man. He becomes the other man to do the things he can't."-Fight Club" I always though he was talking about Blackwall there.
NU121493255 Nah, if you listen to the banter, you hear how *SPOILERS!* Cole never considered Blackwall as being Rainier, but as the one that killed Rainier.
viviene: you lack proper magical training solas: no im only an elven god born in a civilasation where everything was done with magic ruled by mages strong enough to be considered gods whom i lead a rebellion against and whose civilisation i shattered leading to the the creation of the fade and the moxern world vivienne: yeah but u didnt learn how to do it in the circle
Varric: In that story of yours, the fisherman watching the stars, dying alone.. You thought he gave up, right? Solas: Yes..? Varric: But he went on living! He lost everyone but he still got up every morning, he made a life. Even if it was alone. That's the world; everything you build it tears down, everything you got it takes, and it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets. Varric... That's awesome. He literally is one of the best characters in gaming. For all the knowledge Solas has, Varric is the true legend here. To some, he may seem simple. But honestly, that is one of the reasons why he is such a deep character. He understands life, and thus doesn't require so much complexion. I shall love him forever!
TRESPASSER SPOILERS: Given that the story is more or less about Solas himself (as he lost "his family and tribe" when he destroyed the "elven world" by creating the fade), Varric's comment becomes interesting. Solas, as revealed by the Fade mission, fears dying alone. For him not to try and restore the fade as it once was by tearing the Veil apart as he plans to do in trespasser is to give up and die. But as "intellectual" as Solas is, Varric is the one with the actual wisdom; nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change. But Solas will keep clinging to the past, and it will likely be his undoing.
+Iluvatar Erú or it shows just how smart they are. While I admit The Witness isn't as grand scale as some claim I think you underestimate Undertale a bit. I might be biased cause I love mediums that break the fourth wall but Undertale was inspired by one of the most respected RPGs of all time, Earthbound. It changed up the combat system to fit the universe and even broke it's own rules to show it's unique side. Hate it all you want but do not say the game is nothing but meme infestation when it is less filled with pop culture references than what inspired it. Not to mention the soundtrack is so damn good. The game had one creator who did the story, drew some characters and wrote all the music with little help. That is dedication and it did it's intended job.
***** First off the word is spelled metaphors not metaphores. If you are going to insult one of the most effective literary devices out there then at least spell it correctly. Secondly learn how to actually make a point cause you jumbled a bunch of crap to try and defend your opinion. Learn the definition of metaphor before insulting it. The word means a comparison without using the words like or as. What you claimed they were spouting as metaphors were in fact memes which if we look through the history of gaming the memes inspired shows the game made an impact. I mean Skyrim revolutionized dragons in combat for RPGs yet we also earned the arrow to the knee meme. So sure the game has a few memes like you're going to have a bad time. Does that detract from the game? No. What I'd love to know is why you think the fact the community has in jokes makes it a bad game. Portal has the cake is a lie and yet that game is hard for a lot of people who don't do great with puzzles but also provides witty NPC banter. So Toby Fox is the devil for making a good game that is fun to a lot of people? Wow I thought the point of games was to make you enjoy yourself and on occasion think. Undertale and Portal both display this. Portal makes you think outside the box to solve problems while Undertale makes you question RPG logic where most RPGs always have you killing the enemies to get better. Undertale makes you think about why we have that system and goes against the mold by giving you alternatives. It took a genre and gave it a concept that will affect the rest of that genre for years to come. If anything Toby Fox did he made people think. And that is what a good game should do. Make the gamer think about a concept or idea. Sorry but dude you need to learn about what makes a good game. Have your opinion but don't defend it so poorly and stay on point when you do try.
***** I love how you assume that I think memes are culturally enriching when I never implied that at all. I said they came out of games people consider groundbreaking. While Undertale was not the first to do what it did it brought the genre back to the playing field. People do enjoy games like it, Earthbound or Mother 3. Please ask any gamer with any cred within JRPG or western RPG realms and tell me they have not played Earthbound or at least know of it's historical significance in gaming. Toby Fox made a spiritual successor of sorts with a rather compelling story to it. When a game makes you feel like a total asshole for killing anything within it(minus Flowey cause hey he's a dick and everyone knows it) you know you did a good job.Oh yes because you are such a cultured snob to think anything not made before 2000 was any good. Gonna go cry about how today's gamers are all generalized as idiots? Sorry but dude I've been gaming since the 90's and I know a thing or two about what is good and what isn't. Also Skyrim's dragons though rather easy to fight as you leveled(except maybe the DLC dragon types for awhile) were revolutionary into making the ones in later RPGs what they are today. Sure it wasn't perfect but it stepped up the bar for the creature being an enemy on screen. Please actually give me real reasons as to why today's gamers are stupid because you haven't once proven that point or given me any real reason that games like Undertale are bad. I can accept hate for a game I love but will never understand blind rage over something without even bothering to try and realize why people like it. There are reasons Skyrim has lasted and is still having mods made for additional content and fun skins for things done all the time. Good games last while others fade away. But by all means explain yourself. Bet you are just another fake hipster gamer who doesn't know a thing about the history of video games.
Cole and The Iron Bull are tied for my favorite character in this game. I can’t pick one over the other because I love them for such different reasons. But Cole’s interactions with everyone are a fucking delight. I love how Varric treats him even before the others warm up.
Cole is just a beautiful creature whose purpose is to help others - he’s so wholesome but misunderstood. Iron Bull is a sexy, confident man. He’s playful, kind and encouraging but won’t hesitate to throw himself into the fray.
2:45:40 Varric: In the Imperial Court, if someone use the wrong fork at dinner, is that worse than death or just social suicide? Vivienne: It's impossible to say, my dear. Anyone who is ever so mis-stepped would be stabbed to death with the proper fork. One of my favs
Cole: "But you hate demons." Iron Bull: "Listen, Cole; you might be a weird, squirrely kid, but you're MY weird, squirrely kid." I'm beginning to believe that what Jason Nakao said was not only spot-on, but reflects almost a Sten-sort of distanced, but lovable, persona-- Ooooooh, right, Qunari! This just got better!
Okay, honestly, the conversations between Cole and Dorian regarding Dorian's father just... kill me. They make my heart break every freaking time I hear them. I WANT TO HUG THEM BOTH.

Vivienne warms to him, but she recognizes a very real danger most fans fail to appreciate: Cole can become a demon and kill unceremoniously. She's not only been taught to fear demons and spirits, for they'll tempt and raze, but she has witnessed their destruction and warned others of it.
And even SHE warms up to Cole at the end, learning that there's a grey she never appreciated before, even if there's a danger companionship can't remove.
@@jonasbs86 . She is smart.
I think the whole mental chess game between Bull and Solas was on of the coolest things I've ever heard
James Anderson “You sneaky son of a *****!” Great part
James Anderson It’s actually based on an actual game played during the 20th century.
Yeah... I heard it the first time and i was like HOW do you do THAT!!!
@@S117M4sterChief 19th. 1851.
Someone straight up played the dialogue over top of a game they had programmed with every single move. Props to BioWare for not just calling out random moves
You forgot one between Dorian and Cole.
(upon entering the kitchen in the Winter Palace)
Cole: "Breath painful, stabbing, and then real stabbing, lungs full, frothing, scent of apples as it all goes black."
Dorian: "Death by apple pie," a lovely poem by our dear friend Cole.
That's region specific banter though, different from these. I hadn't gotten that one before. Thanks for sharing. :)
I heard it when I played it! It was hilarious 🤣
That's so cool that this game has so much content that no one person can experience it all
BHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA..!!!
@@PunkRockZombie205 IKR 🤣 , first time playing Dragon Age series from Inquisition have started just now and I really enjoy this type of game, will go backward to Origins and 2 after I finish this..
I swear, the inquisition is like one big family
With Cole being the youngest brother everyone takes care of
Cole is literally the house puppy that everyone loves and protects fiercely. It's like if they Awakened a dog in D&D. Cole is the purest thing.
MsCunningLinguistic well exclude Vivienne.
Sera hates him too.
Everyone thinks they’re taking care of Cole but really, Cole is taking care of them
He's more like the child of the inquisitor and whomever they romance.
Sera: *says any word*
Cole:

Hahaha! Same
Yep same XDDD
I've got ya beat. This is my third time watching this video from start to finish.
Overlord0011
I've listened to it twice while doing homework! It's just great!
Marianne S The dialogue is rather natural, so I find it a learning experience.
Varric: Alright who's the toughest, Liliana, Josephine, or Cassandra?
Cassandra: I'm right here you know!
Varric: that doesn't mean it rules you out.
Solas: what about Cullen?
Varric: who? Curly? They just keep him around because he looks pretty.
Ashley Mustang18 I keep Curly around because he’s very pretty and nice 😂 poor Cullen. And Leliana’s
“Hush. Just stand and look pretty” to Cullen
@@terra_the_nightingale135 oh I forgot about that one! Thankyou!
Varric is not wrong. Cullen is very pretty. But my bet is between Cassandra and Leliana. Leliana is versed in both politics and combat. Cassandra is likewise, but as a warrior instead of a rogue.
@@Witzke231 Let's not forget Josephine. She is much younger than Leliana and Cassandra but she is also a noble like Cassandra and well versed in the game. She has a lot of potential. She is also the only one who is business-minded.
Is it not more impressive to turn an enemy into a friend than it is to kill them? Everyone has a price. I wonder what would've happened if Josie had become the Inquisitor? Corypheus would probably lose both of his generals through well timed dinner parties.
@@kraziiXIII actually Leliana is the toughest of them all. She’s survived quite a lot of events, the most important one being the 5th Blight after the complete and utter disaster at Ostagar instigated by Loghain.
"Please speak up, I can't hear you over your outfit." That line gets me every time XD Solas is so snarky for a 'grim and fatalistic' character
Varric call him "Chuckles" for a reason
Indeed he is snarky. I also love how he laughs when Cole points out that Iron Bull and the Inquisitor did "it" on the wartable once
What banter was that?
Kefalion or how he makes a joke about the rift tying them up before swallowing them up. He's so great
Kefalion omg when did he say that??
I cant believe I just spent 5 and a half hours listening to the banter... all of the banter...
It was totally worth it
I just played through the game with only Varric Solas and Cassandra. I wanted to hear what the rest would sound like and my god it's all gold as when I listened to Varric's sarcasm and wit or Solas's introspective.
Listened to this probably 10+ times now
It's a fantastic listen. I cant stand the idea of missing a conversation between others. When i found this it was a dream. 5 hrs well spent
when EA backs the fuck off and lets Bioware do there jobs look what we get, goo characters and banter and a great game
I love how Solas and Cassandra have nothing but respect for the other and are willing to hear each other out on different things
Indeed, it’s very refreshing in the current political climate.
I always bring Cass, Solas and Cole with me. It's the perfect team. Wish I could bring Bull, too.
caedis I wish we could bring everyone and idk have pretty epic fights wish it was like that during some of the missions
1:19:17 *Cole:* "The Iron Bull, do you ever worry that a demon could be standing off to the left where your eye can't see?"
*Iron Bull:* "Well I Do Now" ಠ_ಠ
Meanwhile, in The Fade: Everyone, if I get possessed, feint on my blind side, then go low. Cullen says I leave myself open.
one too many eyes on iron bull there
Haha more like 0_-
I got that line in the Deep Roads after the first encounters with Shriek, the timing and dialogues makes me spit my coffee. 😂
“I like the stories where the villain was the man beside you the whole time.”

party banter, is the coolest part about BioWare games
agreed, it makes the game feel more alive, and surprisingly increases lore for us Lore Seekers.
I'm glad there are more video game developers that remember that your party members are people who can form their own opinions about the world around them.
If you'd like a recommendation on another series with party banter, you should try the Tales of series. Their version of banter takes the form of these "skits" that play conversations while using animated portraits. Tales of Vesperia has hundreds of them!
Sonic260 Agreed, my first Tales of game I played was Tales of Symphonia. Its such a great game.
listening to coles banter has made him easily one of my favourite dragon age characters
Same here, he's just too cute.
On my very first playthrough of DAI, I ended up putting him in my party for a while alongside Dorian and The Iron Bull. Once Bull and Cole started bonding despite Bull's clear discomfort with anything spirited or demon-y, I was sold. Cole is my boy. I will fight for him.
Things you learn in party banter: Cole cannot drop a subject and Solas is a goddamn troll
Iron Bull is a deviant
Varric is still a master at nicknames.
Claramata Vivienne is a a very very very stern woman who doesn’t like to show her true emotions(look into some of her banter with Cole Dorian and Cassandra and Blackwall.
I love that Cassandra usually thanks Cole for most of the things he says, I find it so sweet and wholesome
"Solas, what's this whole look of yours about?"
"I'm sorry...?"
"No, that OUTFIT is sorry."
"Please speak up! I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER YOUR OUTFT!"
Dorian is the best friend we all wish we had
Dorian: "Ya know Varric, I went to Kirkwall once."
Varric: "Yea?"
Dorian: "Bit of a shithole."
Varric: "Yea..."
Cole talking about the Tamassran's thoughts when Bull leaves the Qun are really eye opening. She was happy he escaped. There's waaay more dissent in Par Vollen than the Qunari let on.
I guess she didn't want his spirit to be broken down into another lump for the Qun. hence why I never kill the Chargers.
@@JnEricsonx spoilers for trespasser
i always leave the chargers alive because i can't bring myself to kill him in trespasser
@@lewismartin3430 Likewise. I always meta-view it a my characters don't trust the Qunari as is, and getting Bull to side more with his new home, and the Chargers as his family, is the better way.

I love everything about Cole and I am flabbergasted with how much full of soul his dialogues are, and with his beautiful voice acting. They genuinely gave a body, a face and a voice and made Compassion, a concept, into a living being. This talent IS Bioware. It kills me to see how everything EA touches ends up rotting away, but I hope Bioware finds itself again.
I read somewhere Cole was written based on how a person in the autism spectrum would act. Or something like that. It makes sense, though! But yes, I think he is one of the best, if not THE best, written character in Inquisition. I love him 😍
It won’t. EA’s rot is permanent.
@@PlanetLovingMom omg i thought i was the only one who thought that, and i thought i was reaching.

AUGH IRON BULL IS SO PROTECTIVE IT'S GREAT
And then Cole tells him how his Tama/nurse/teacher is happy that he got away from the Qunari, such as it was.
How Cole addresses Krem as Him and Bull notices it is also so adorable.
He's literally the group dad it's great
“Only anime girls can be cinnamon rolls.”
Cole: Hold my hat. Actually, please give it back.
Actually do you need a hat i can help you with that(then proceeds to fix his life and show him that his father did truly love him(not cole the person he is helping)
"Actually, please give it back." So accurate. So wholesome c:
Cole is literally a BEAAAAANNNNNN
This comment is fucking genius XD
Cullen is my favorite cinnamon roll, even if he is just one of the advisors
The wooden duck made me cry. Cole wanted to give Dorian one of his toys from his childhood back! :')
What minutes was that?
MJFab in the beginning. Forgot the minutes but yeah
When Cole explains the Joke to Sera he says "Cullen explains it better".
Does that mean Cullen regularly explains things to Cole? Just jokes or other things too?
Either way, the mental image is incredibly cute
Varric: "Look seeker, if you love a character you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer... Maybe throw in an heroic death"
Varric: "I like the stories where the villain was the man beside you the whole time. The best villains don't see themselves as evil. They're fighting for a good cause and willing to get their hands dirty"
Solas: "we all have a face we want to show and a face we do not."
UGH BIOWARE. I HATE YOU.
The heroic death one sounds like the "Ultimate Sacrifice" ending to Dragon Age Origins.

***** Been doing that constantly, I do get banter, but it's not as often as it used to be in the previous games. It triggers quite often in the beginning, when it was only Solas, Varric and Cassandra as party members, but after Val Royeaux it began to feel rare.

Varric: In that story of yours, the fisherman watching the stars, dying alone.. You thought he gave up, right?
Solas: Yes..?
Varric: But he went on living! He lost everyone but he still got up every morning, he made a life. Even if it was alone. That's the world; everything you build it tears down, everything you got it takes, and it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets.
Varric... That's awesome. He literally is one of the best characters in gaming. For all the knowledge Solas has, Varric is the true legend here. To some, he may seem simple. But honestly, that is one of the reasons why he is such a deep character. He understands life, and thus doesn't require so much complexion.
I shall love him forever!
TRESPASSER SPOILERS:
Given that the story is more or less about Solas himself (as he lost "his family and tribe" when he destroyed the "elven world" by creating the fade), Varric's comment becomes interesting. Solas, as revealed by the Fade mission, fears dying alone. For him not to try and restore the fade as it once was by tearing the Veil apart as he plans to do in trespasser is to give up and die.
But as "intellectual" as Solas is, Varric is the one with the actual wisdom; nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change. But Solas will keep clinging to the past, and it will likely be his undoing.
ZaZaCobra an eternity of lifetimes doesn’t equate to Varrics thirty odd years
Except that a good portion of the "eternity of lifetimes" was spent asleep. So that doesn't make as much of a difference as you think it does.
All this has done is convince me that Cole is the best video game character of all time.
+congokong87 this banter convo happened just after cole became human, first thing that popped into my mind was "Let the emotion out cole let it out"
+congokong87 He was referring to what Vivienne thought of Morrigan
+Iluvatar Erú or it shows just how smart they are. While I admit The Witness isn't as grand scale as some claim I think you underestimate Undertale a bit. I might be biased cause I love mediums that break the fourth wall but Undertale was inspired by one of the most respected RPGs of all time, Earthbound. It changed up the combat system to fit the universe and even broke it's own rules to show it's unique side. Hate it all you want but do not say the game is nothing but meme infestation when it is less filled with pop culture references than what inspired it. Not to mention the soundtrack is so damn good. The game had one creator who did the story, drew some characters and wrote all the music with little help. That is dedication and it did it's intended job.
***** First off the word is spelled metaphors not metaphores. If you are going to insult one of the most effective literary devices out there then at least spell it correctly. Secondly learn how to actually make a point cause you jumbled a bunch of crap to try and defend your opinion. Learn the definition of metaphor before insulting it. The word means a comparison without using the words like or as. What you claimed they were spouting as metaphors were in fact memes which if we look through the history of gaming the memes inspired shows the game made an impact. I mean Skyrim revolutionized dragons in combat for RPGs yet we also earned the arrow to the knee meme. So sure the game has a few memes like you're going to have a bad time. Does that detract from the game? No. What I'd love to know is why you think the fact the community has in jokes makes it a bad game. Portal has the cake is a lie and yet that game is hard for a lot of people who don't do great with puzzles but also provides witty NPC banter. So Toby Fox is the devil for making a good game that is fun to a lot of people? Wow I thought the point of games was to make you enjoy yourself and on occasion think. Undertale and Portal both display this. Portal makes you think outside the box to solve problems while Undertale makes you question RPG logic where most RPGs always have you killing the enemies to get better. Undertale makes you think about why we have that system and goes against the mold by giving you alternatives. It took a genre and gave it a concept that will affect the rest of that genre for years to come. If anything Toby Fox did he made people think. And that is what a good game should do. Make the gamer think about a concept or idea. Sorry but dude you need to learn about what makes a good game. Have your opinion but don't defend it so poorly and stay on point when you do try.
***** I love how you assume that I think memes are culturally enriching when I never implied that at all. I said they came out of games people consider groundbreaking. While Undertale was not the first to do what it did it brought the genre back to the playing field. People do enjoy games like it, Earthbound or Mother 3. Please ask any gamer with any cred within JRPG or western RPG realms and tell me they have not played Earthbound or at least know of it's historical significance in gaming. Toby Fox made a spiritual successor of sorts with a rather compelling story to it. When a game makes you feel like a total asshole for killing anything within it(minus Flowey cause hey he's a dick and everyone knows it) you know you did a good job.Oh yes because you are such a cultured snob to think anything not made before 2000 was any good. Gonna go cry about how today's gamers are all generalized as idiots? Sorry but dude I've been gaming since the 90's and I know a thing or two about what is good and what isn't. Also Skyrim's dragons though rather easy to fight as you leveled(except maybe the DLC dragon types for awhile) were revolutionary into making the ones in later RPGs what they are today. Sure it wasn't perfect but it stepped up the bar for the creature being an enemy on screen. Please actually give me real reasons as to why today's gamers are stupid because you haven't once proven that point or given me any real reason that games like Undertale are bad. I can accept hate for a game I love but will never understand blind rage over something without even bothering to try and realize why people like it. There are reasons Skyrim has lasted and is still having mods made for additional content and fun skins for things done all the time. Good games last while others fade away. But by all means explain yourself. Bet you are just another fake hipster gamer who doesn't know a thing about the history of video games.
Bull: "I see all that time alone has given you a firm grip."
BULL!!! HAHAHA
"Hey... don't Top from the Bottom."
Cole and The Iron Bull are tied for my favorite character in this game. I can’t pick one over the other because I love them for such different reasons. But Cole’s interactions with everyone are a fucking delight. I love how Varric treats him even before the others warm up.
Varric tries to be everyone's friend
Cole is just a beautiful creature whose purpose is to help others - he’s so wholesome but misunderstood.
Iron Bull is a sexy, confident man. He’s playful, kind and encouraging but won’t hesitate to throw himself into the fray.
I love Solas giving Sera instructions on how to be a rebel against the Man...where on earth did he ever learn about that.
+Koda Jolly I wonder...........
+Koda Jolly After finishing the Trespasser DLC, I wish I didn't know.
Solas be like "you're such a scrub Sera. Allow me to teach you the technique of 'getting gud'."
+Ethan Stansmore Solas is a pompous sun bro
It really sucks that you can only bring three of them with you at a time. Priceless conversations you missed out on.
all those sexual innuendos between bull and dorian... LMAO IM DEAD...
I love it! 😁
And Sera's comment about it 🤣
"I'm not sure what's worse, the imagery or the accuracy."
Blackwall: "Hay, Cole! Say something interesting."
Cole: "Something interesting"
Blackwall: "Yes, I deserve that one"
2:45:40
Varric: In the Imperial Court, if someone use the wrong fork at dinner, is that worse than death or just social suicide?
Vivienne: It's impossible to say, my dear. Anyone who is ever so mis-stepped would be stabbed to death with the proper fork.
One of my favs
Cole: "But you hate demons."
Iron Bull: "Listen, Cole; you might be a weird, squirrely kid, but you're MY weird, squirrely kid."
I'm beginning to believe that what Jason Nakao said was not only spot-on, but reflects almost a Sten-sort of distanced, but lovable, persona--
Ooooooh, right, Qunari! This just got better!
206Zelda honestly when bull said "but your My weird squirly kid" I started crying
Okay, honestly, the conversations between Cole and Dorian regarding Dorian's father just... kill me. They make my heart break every freaking time I hear them. I WANT TO HUG THEM BOTH.
It's frustrating that there isn't a hug option for either one of these guys.
“You keep hurting because you think hurting is who you are, why would you do that?”
The way dorians voice breaks when he asked him to stop 😭
