I just have so much to yap about, man. This game has such a crazy death grip on me. I love Cole to god damn death, I love the dynamic between so many of the characters, I love the interwoven world and actions of everything, even the butterfly effect. There's just so much to think about.

I wanna talk about how Cole receives the news that Solas, the man he once called friend responsible for some of the deepest trauma and hardening of his beloved Inquisitor, has now turned a blade on Varric, his still most cherished and beloved friend that guided him through SO MUCH of Inquisition.

I wanna talk about how Cole is a reflection of a younger Solas, choosing to walk the path of a human further from the Fade to cut off his return forever to follow the decision made by a woman who cherished and cared for him. How this makes Solas feel, watching a young spirit repeat his regret.

I wanna talk about how human Cole does NOT forgive Solas for the physical AND emotional deformation he caused my Inky, how he caused her to doubt and mistrust so intensively that she hid herself away from the world. How he doesnt hate Solas, but he still holds so much pain in him for what he did.

I wanna talk about Fenris and how his anger over my Hawke up and leaving him behind with just a little note of "I'll be back" went through the 5 stages of grief before finally coming to settle on the acceptance of understanding WHY she left, but not accepting that she's locked in the Fade.

I wanna talk character studies on Cole and how over the span of nearly a year he fell in love with my Inquisitor that loves him back so much, it nearly led her to collapse.
