That was genius writing, meant exactly for the player. Questioning all our decisions back in DA2 since we failed at every point. Almost all family dead or traumatized, companions scattered, forced to kill both friends and enemies and in the end the city Hawke protected turned against him.
***** Which is literally the point to her character, something I think you missed. Lmao. Ruin her clothes. That would do more damage than something as base as hitting her.
honestly the ONLY reason i recruit her is because i'm 90% sure she'd be a major pain in Dragon Age 4 if she's turned away, but yeah for fuck sake let me kill my companions
@@libidinistlyn I also love that the Nightmare doesn't spoil the surprise, but only because the anxiety of the implied threat that it will is worse for Blackwall
Actually choosing to save hawke over Stroud is stupid, from a story standpoint it's more tragic and actually has meaning if hawke dies, Stroud is a nobody so his death is meaningless, also Hawke will not appear in future da games so you may aswell
yes but from a not wanting your heart ripped out standpoint letting stroud who we really couldn't care less about die instead of Hawke who we all love is smart
I translated what it says to Solas. “Dirth ma, Harellan. Ma banal enasalin. Mar Solas ena mar din.” “Speak, rebel. You care for nothing but victory. Your pride will be your death.” (Harellan can also be translated as “trickster” instead of rebel.) Solas response: “Banal nadas” “Nothing is inevitable.”
I actually laughed at Dorian's reaction. Everyone's so defiant and fearful, and Dorian's just over here like he's been harassed by fear demons all his life. He only sounds mildly put out at the demon's insult, like it's just so rude he can't stand it.
Considering all the shit the Magisters likely conjure, he prolly has been. I like to think that's how his dad found out he was gay, when some demon just started trash talking him in front of his dad.
@@CyrixOkami oh I think it would be a bit more serious than just that. Something about powerlessness, being Flemeth’s pawn, and (if romanced) losing Kieran and the Hero of Ferelden. Nightmare isn’t a simp...I mean “gentleman” like the Guardian of Andraste’s Ashes.
@@GoddoDoggo well if the "milady" fits... The fact remains that the writers of Origins were far too nice to Morrigan, never putting her through half of the mean-spirited character assassination that all the others went through. She was the special snowflake whom nothing affected and who was cleverer and more advanced mentally than everyone else. 🙄
Honestly I would have died if the demon asked to get Varrics autograph or something. Or freaked out like the Avvar in the dlc. You, youre Varric Tethras!
It's so fitting that Hawke's greatest fear is always about the safety of her friends and family, especially because of how your companions were the heart of DA2.
Ah, yes. Because "He" being the singular gender-neutral pronoun was just another example of sexism throughout Theirstory, wasn't it? *Poncy hat going off now, disregard the vitriol* Double irony points for the fact I only bother commenting because my main Hawke is female.
What does the fear demon actually mean when he says that? Because that's the first thing I thought of as an interpretation haha :) I can't think of any other way he could have possibly meant it, unless I'm just being dim. :/
Chelsea Tafoya Ahahaha xD I think he means as possession (yes, it doesn't sound good either xD).. the demon says that Bull would make a lovely host (as body to be possessed) for his minions or maybe he would ride his body himself (he's going to possess him).. It's the logical conclusion seeing how Bull is afraid of being possessed by a demon ;-)
omg "Greetings Dorian.. It is Dorian, isn't it? For a moment there, I mistook you for your Father." "Rather uncalled for." I love Dorian's character so much! It's a little bit sad though, knowing he uses his humour as a means to protect himself, reminds me of myself a little hahaha.
There is also a graveyard where you can see what each of your companions tomb with what they hate the most on it. Blackwall : Himself Cole : Despair Solas: Dying alone Sera: The nothing Dorian : Temptation Cassandra: Helplessness Vivienne: Irrelevance Ironbull: Madness Varric: Became his parents
I'm going to rewrite Strouds fear: How does it feel that nobody gives a shit about you? You will only survive tens of times in millions of playthroughs. Where is your Maker now?
***** I would actually call it the opposite of heartless, since I guess you enjoy a bit of thought-provoking tragedy. It's actually pretty heartless that many of us thoughtlessly sacrifice Stroud. :P
Well there's so little to him in comparison to the other Grey Wardens and Hawke. He's a good start to a character, but there isn't too much there yet. Still yeah, it's kind of sad he gets killed so often because people can't bare to lose Hawke. Heck, I did the same myself.
SetsunaNoroi I'm just not sure why they put Stroud there, Bethany or Carver as Wardens, heck even anyone from Awakening would've fit better. I guess that would've been a ton of work to figure out all the specifics.
I'm not sure I would have liked to have to chose between Bethany or Hawke actually. That would have broken my heart. Carver I might have picked to die, but only because it would be a good finale to his character to lay down his life for his sister after everything he'd felt about her before, but then he died in Lothering in my play through so I guess that wouldn't even be an option. I think Bioware put him in for the "safe" bet. Through in a character not many know or care about. That way you soften the blow of the choice. There are going to be those that play Bioware games that want as many happy endings as possible and sacrificing a character you know little about is much easier.
I have a different point of view of Stroud. I think that in this momment he doesn't represents just a needless character. I guess he's more like the very only one cappable enough to rebuilt the Gray Wardens Order back to the glory. In my campaign I died to kill the Archdemon and after all this mess with de Venatori, the Gray Wardens has just lost their respect and honor, because no one else would trust them to save their asses again. And I kinda understand why they attended to blood magic. The Blight is the only event that allow us to take whatever it takes to save everyone. In fact, the Gray Wardens Order itself is based on blood magic, since you've got to drink Darkspawn blood to become one. No one in all Thedas would sacrifice what must be sacrificed to end a Blight.
"You must be the Nightmare, I have never heard of you before, why would this be. I wonder." "Perhaps you yourself are afraid, It would be most interesting"
The voice acting from that Fear Demon was on point. I got chills the first time playing through this mission. I gotta know who voiced it. It was amazing.
The Hero of Ferelden, although, the tongue is more like a small knife, covered in blood of innocent people who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Interesting how the Nightmare addresses everyone as an individual, except for Iron Bull... He talks about him like he's just a thing, not a person. Adds another layer of mystery around the Qunari and their relation to the Fade, I think.
The Iron Bull addresses himself as such and reasons to you that his name makes him sound like a big destructive weapon. And it’s not Iron Bull but THE Iron Bull. Nightmare is being polite, is all.
Imagine what the Nightmare would say about the Hero of Fereldan: Like, for example a Human Male Noble who romanced Morrigan: "You have been betrayed ever since Duncan came into your life. First Howe, then Loghain, and then Morrigan left you after you killed the Archdemon. You are nothing but someone to be used!" Hero: "Can we please kill this demon? NOW!"
Nightmare: Ah, the Hero of Ferelden, always making all the 'right' choices. How often do you have to console yourself that all you have destroyed, everything you have sacrificed, was for the best? One of these days you will make a wrong choice and everyone you hold dear, your wardens, your friends and your lover, [Name], will be the forfeit. Hero: My choice is to destroy you! Or as my Hero would say... Hero: Can I get you a ladder? So you can get off my back?
I couldn't help myself and lol'ed at his reaction. He's perfect, and then he gave me that adorable cutscene where he thought he lost me right after. :(
+I am ROSSO I can't feel sorry for a whiny bitch like him. He is sticking his nose in other peoples business constantly. No matter what love interest Hawke has if its not Anders he will try to divide them. He is a living example of how mages think they can control something but eventually it comes back to bite them in the arse. An abomination and a terrorist. I rival him always, arguing and in mid game for the first time i made just one flirt to him and he was like "Ohh i need to protect you. I will drown us both in blood only to see you safe." I was like "Uhkey... i will step back from you now..."
Hurlock alpha i fucking loathed him as well. didn't get me to kill him though. A simple execution doesn't do it justice, he needs to be torn apart by a mob of relatives of the ones that died in the explosion.
I am ROSSO I didn't execute him because it felt cheap to just stab him in the back like that. So i let him go the first time, to run and never come back. "Thank you for my life. I will try to make less mess of it this time..." he said. You know what he did? He confronted me in the Gallows saying that i was a templar boot kisser (like i didn't help enough mages in this game...) and wanted to fight me. That really pissed me off. And yes... I sided with the templars in the end... for good reasons. As an archer i one shoted him with my Assassination ability. At least as a rival he accepts that he is dangerous to others around him and wants me to kill him. We should have had the option to let Sebastian kill him. People like him too much for no reasons at all and are even willing to let the terrorist live and start a Kirkwall/Starkhaven war in which probably thousands of people will die. Talk about hypocrisy... Sometimes people don't think at all what consequences their choice will make later.
Talking to Hero of Fereldan (human noble, romanced Leliana) Ah Lord Cousland. No that would be Fergus. Tell me how do you feel knowing you let your entire family die at the hands of Howe. Or knowing that your beloved Leliana is not as innocent as she appeared. Cousland: After encountering, the Archdemon, a brood-mother, and Alister's cooking you think anything frightens me anymore ?
Lol, Alistair's cooking. I'm dead XD Also, the first few words: "Ah Lord Cousland. No that would be Fergus." Damn, that hit in the feels when you remind yourself that the male human noble could've very well felt like Fergus was better than him before he killed the Archdemon and became a Grey Warden and stuff.
The line he says about Hawke really struck a blow with me, the first time I heard it. It's just so awful. Here, Hawke tried so hard to save Kirkwall and lost their family, and this demon has the nerve to say it never mattered and that Hawke's love interest is also going to die? What the hell? It both hurt and royally pissed me off. I never wanted things to go so badly, I did my best as Hawke. Fuck that demon.
But really the demon is right. Its sad but true. Somehow this is the only demon's dialogue that hurt, because in the end only 1 of his siblings survived and none of what he's done mattered. Its double worse and true when its about Anders, too because out of all companions save Fenris, hes the only one that is doomed no matter what.
I'm rather disappointed that romanced Alistair doesn't have his own personal commentary. :( Like: 'Do you think this will be worth it, bastard king? Run from the one person that cared, and never look back? Where do you think she is? Is she even alive?' Then Alistair go pwn his ass to Tuesday! (cuz demon rituals are tuesdays. :) ) ^^ Also surprised about how Hawke doesn't reply to Varric's worry about Hawke- like Varric's fear is for his BFF, but Alistair's isn't for his lady love? For shame, Bioware.
The only time you hear Sebastian mentioned in the Fade is if you send Hawke to die against the Nightmare. You can barely hear her whisper, "I'm sorry, Sebastian."
I just want to say, can we give a word of appreciation to players who willingly play games like these over and over just to get the different dialog in certain scenes? I mean honestly, who else has this amount of patience?
Got some ideas for other characters: Leliana: You pride yourself on wearing masks well, 'Nightingale'. Tell me, which of them is the real you? Do you even know anymore? Fenris: Answer me this, slave, how much blood must be spilled before your lust for revenge is satisfied? Must every magister in Tevinter be put to the sword? Would blood running through the streets of their cities be enough for you? Wynne: For someone who is so ready to give lessons, it seems you don't practice what you preach. The spirit inside of you keeps you alive, but why are you so afraid of death? Are you perhaps afraid that maybe, just maybe, everything you've believed in is wrong?
Rachel Anderson Cole, Rhys, and Evangaline. She died for literally for 3 people in 3 different branches. Mage, Templar, and spirit. Imagine how well that would’ve gone with both the mages and Templars when they hear that during the Conclave.
Ilovedallthepeople The world wide web has deciphered what little Elven exists. I read somewhere that Solas' response was basically "say nothing" in a way that was like Stfu in Elven.
Made-up quotes to describe the Warden-Commander from DA:O - Awakening (if the Hero of Ferelden died in the main Origins campaign) - Fear Demon: "How curious... I can't seem to remember your name. Does anyone know it? You're no inquisitor, you're no champion, and you're certainly no hero. You're just an Orlesian pretending to have authority over Amaranthine. How does it feel, knowing that a simple pen stroke from historians could wipe you out of existence? No one will miss you." Warden-Commander: 1. I'm not doing this to be remembered. I'm just doing what must be done. 2. Funny, I could say the same kinds of things about you. 3. Jump up your own rear and die, demon. 4. (Remain silent.)
I think the fact that Hawke's parents are dead no matter what and lost one of your siblings is a whole lot of family to lose. Hawke would have maybe one sibling left given what the player chose in the game
Well if he chose the Grey Warden route you could say that they were doomed to die because Hawke brings them to the Deep roads even though they're not quite dead yet unless the hero of ferelden finds some way to cure the warden's and save them from the calling or they may actually be dead because if you bring them to the Deep roads without bringing Anders they actually die
I know, right? I think Vivienne is awesome with her sassy behaviour but she crosses the line sometimes, it was great to see the Nightmare burn her so hard.
Yeah great burn, how dare Vivienne let the passage of time age her lol. Oh wait she goes on to become leader to all mages or first enchanter so I guess things worked out well for her.
Loghain's response is much like Oghren's to the Guantlet. “Why don’t I save you some time? Yes, I wish I could have saved my family from Branka. I wish I’d been a better mate. Maybe she’d have stayed at home with a belly full of baby Oghren and never gone for the anvil. Maybe I failed her. Yes, I came to the surface because I’m barely a dwarf anymore. My family is dead. My honor as a warrior is long gone. I’ve lost my caste and my house and I have nothing else to lose.”
I can imagine what my DAO human mage worst nightmare would be and what the demon would say to him: Nightmare: How does it feel ''Hero of Ferelden'' to know all your life you have been used, betrayed and abandoned. First your parents abandoned you in the circle, then Jowen betrayed you and left you to the mercy of the Templars, then Duncan abandoned you and Alistair left you with the responsibility of saving Ferelden and then Morrigan left you and ran off with your child. Morrigan and Kieran are going to die and you'll be all alone again. Hero of Ferelden: I killed one demon before and he had an army of Darkspawn behind him!
Nightmare: How does it feel "Hero of Ferelden" to be used, betrayed and abandoned, First your family died at the hands of the man your father trusted, and then Duncan abandoned you and Alistair trusted you only to be stabbed in the back, And then Morrigan left you with her child, Leliana is going to die, just as your parents did, and nothing you done would ever matter. Hero Of Ferelden: I hardly think he'll stand a chance, I defeated an archdemon, what's one more monstrosity?
Iron Bull's makes me cringe. Like, THAT is a BEST "Riding the Bull" pun there. It's so fucking wrong and hilarious at the same time. Just, glorious, kudos to the writers.
I think you're absolutely right. None of the others bothered me as much as the Hawke attacks did. I only played DA2 once and romanced Anders, but the idea of Merrill or Isabella dying bothered me just as much.
When I first played this and I heard the nightmare say "Anders will die" I froze because it was talking to ME now. I love that they managed to use that feeling.
Thank you for compiling this! The Hawke and Stroud/Alistair/Loghain dialogues always trigger when I'm fighting something and then get cut off by new dialogue.
He kind of missed the Inquisitor out didn't he? it would've been awesome if the inquisitors fear was seeing the Inquisition fall and his/her friends die, and if he/she is in a relationship the demon could mention them.
LUKE0ST3L0S99 now I’m just thinking about what he would say to my mage elf inquisitor who romances Solas, especially considering he knows who he really is. Probably something along the lines of “he’ll leave you” so that we just think he’s saying whatever to instill fear and doubt in our minds, when in reality he will actually leave us after we defeat Corypheus. Or he’ll say something like “he’s been deceiving you from the start”
and give you something the reply with as well, like. "By the time I'm done with you, you will know the true meaning of fear. Demon!" or "The Inquisition is mine, I decide when it falls... No one else!" (for evil playthroughs)
If my canon Inquisitor were to be addressed, she'd probably have a similar response to Dorian. In the sense that shevd shrug it off. Shevd been a templar for nine or so years in my world for her and has seen some pretty awful stuff post Kirkwall Chantry explosion (she was part of the help sent out). More likely one or two things would be mentioned that isnvt the Inquisition: either her 'fear' of lyrium (she isnvt afraid, but would like to stop taking it. Everytime she's tried though it's also been her close to dying a week later so itvs a bit nightmarish anytime she underestimates a journey), or something Cullen related. Perhaps both in one foul swoop. I think Trevelyan would shrug it off in a similar manner to Alistair but in Dorian's tone. Something like 'I faced worse in Kirkwall.' or 'I had to deal with five Maleficar at once and I looked death in the eye. In comparisons you' re Orlais' parties.' Shevs too focused on the situation for it to really get to her, but it's more likely to hit after deciding the Warden's fate (joining the Inquisition) and shevs finally got a breather. Worth noting she dealt with harassment from plenty of Kirkwall templars. Either those two things or her younger brother being a red templar. It's another big fear of hers. Nightmare demon has plenty to. feed off but he"s hardly going to get a reaction from a comment that's not worth remembering further down the line. She'll be shaken once the objective is completed. Redcliffe hit harder than Nightmare ever would, I suppose.
Can we all just give a round of applause for Dorian's reaction here? Here's the nightmare demon, throwing and calling out fears left and right, and when it calls out something that it thinks will send him into a fearful stupor, he's just chill as ever, despite being IN THE FADE WHERE EVERYTHING IS *DISNEY VILLAIN MAGIC GREEN* and keeps his fabulosity intact by just shrugging it off like Luke in TLJ and gives out a snarky "Rather uncalled for" Like he'd just been slighted at Halamshiral by an uptight Orlesian twat who didn't know jack shit.
My Warden (casteless dwarf) Nightmare: Ah, the Hero of Fereldin, Paragon, Commander of the Grey...no matter what you call yourself, you'll never wash the dust off your skin. Warden: been talking to my mother have you?
Captain Ellison Come to think of it, now that its pointed out, Corypheus and the Nightmare do sound very similiar...argh, I should have connected the two.
I am so glad that I chose the dragon age origin story where my female noble married Alistair. It would be the most horrible decision to sacrifice either Alistair or my female Hawke. I didn't have any emotional ties to Strout so it wasn't that hard to choose between him or my Hawke.
"I've heard worse than that from Morrigan" xD True. I miss the Allistair/Morrigan Conversations. With my first character I had Allistair as king but still left Hawke and saved Stroud, because I don't know what the wardens will become without a good leader (and i just can't leavem them without one. I love the wardens so much. *still crying over Duncan*) I want to play again with Allistair as warden, but I want to save Hawke, because he is also pretty cool. But leaving Allistair is impossible! What will become of my hero of ferelden when her love of her life dies? But on the other side, did you see Varrics Tarot card after you leave Hawke? It broke my heart :( So much desicions... so much pressure... i can't take it... this game's gonna kill me >.
MrsBelaFelsenheimer Varric's tarot card is the same if you sacrifice the Warden, it's just his card after Here Lies the Abyss. It changes after you do his quest with Bianca. I always import a douche Hawke who made all the wrong choices and sacrifice her/him, I could never sacrifice Alistair.
Depends if you want to support Mythal or not. Mythal controls the Calling, therefore Flemeth. The Wardens are noble but are subject to an ancient abomination.
@@vermilion6966 Idk. I think Blackwall's was pretty good. Solas too if you know what he said. Hawke's was still the best though (but I think it's impact is far more amplified since he's the player protagonist and his failures feel more personal bc of it).
Morrigan "Ah,daughter of Flemeth, how many nights have you cried calling out to him, how many times did you wish for him to come with you, how will Kerrian react to the fact that you abandoned his father and let him die at hands of the arch demon. Will Arthas Cousland only be a memory that you want to forget? Have you finally become your mother? Morrigan: " Dont you say his name, you abomination !!
I think the next game should have a demon like the Nightmare join your party, one who's possessed a Tevinter Blood Mage and starts off just as creepy as this guy. Over the course of the game, you'd be able to try and redeem him, where he'll still be creepy, but he'll turn back into a spirit and his personality will blend with his host's, or you'd be able to push him even further into demonhood, where he'd become absolutely terrifying, but would give you a big advantage in terms of power. It would be cool just for the sake of having his dialogue with other party members involve prying into their past and taking delight in making them uncomfortable and angry. A sadistic version of Cole, basically.
It’d be interesting except for the fact that it would be impossible to change or redeem him since he’s a fear demon. Spirits are embodiments of emotions, essentially an emotion that was given a physical form. A demon is that gone wrong and turned evil. So it would be impossible to change or redeem a demon of fear or rage, or change a spirit of compassion and wisdom unless they are corrupted.
two years later, but solas does that, in front of you, turning a pride into a wisdom, and Cole say multiple times how he was a envy demon turned lately into compassion
"And I know you hear their voices! Calling from above. And I know they may seem real! These signals of love. But our life's made up of choices! Some without appeal. They took for granted your soul. And it's ours now to steal! As your nightmare comes to life!" That's what this video reminds me of; Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare.
I love Dorian here. Everyone else is either scared or angry and Dorians just like "rude"
Except Solas, he basically says "shut the fuck up" in Elvish. xD
more like ''umm, bitch''
Solas was not afraid either lol
¿Do Geese See God? He says nothing is inevitable
Yeah well typical humor deflection.

Alistar : is that all its got? i heard worse from morrigan!
probably true morrigan trash talked alistar since the start of DA : O hahahaha
And then you have to choose either hawke or alistair.
Jass Jake That is why I make Alistair King, so we can take Stroud along.
+nitehawk86 Poor Strout, he never stood a chance against Hawke in that choice. It's not even a choice at all.
Actually choosing to save hawke over Stroud is stupid, from a story standpoint it's more tragic and actually has meaning if hawke dies, Stroud is a nobody so his death is meaningless, also Hawke will not appear in future da games so you may aswell
yes but from a not wanting your heart ripped out standpoint letting stroud who we really couldn't care less about die instead of Hawke who we all love is smart
I translated what it says to Solas.
“Dirth ma, Harellan. Ma banal enasalin. Mar Solas ena mar din.”
“Speak, rebel. You care for nothing but victory. Your pride will be your death.”
(Harellan can also be translated as “trickster” instead of rebel.)
Solas response: “Banal nadas”
“Nothing is inevitable.”
That’s actually ironic as it’s solos fight against the inevitability he disagrees with is what caused his fall to begin with
Harellan means liar in Elvish, I think
Post Veilguard, Solas translating to pride is hilarious
I actually laughed at Dorian's reaction. Everyone's so defiant and fearful, and Dorian's just over here like he's been harassed by fear demons all his life. He only sounds mildly put out at the demon's insult, like it's just so rude he can't stand it.
Considering all the shit the Magisters likely conjure, he prolly has been. I like to think that's how his dad found out he was gay, when some demon just started trash talking him in front of his dad.
Lol
Charleen Langley you know I’ll believe it. I imagine it would be a desire demon yapping about it and then start making promises.

The fact remains that the writers of Origins were far too nice to Morrigan, never putting her through half of the mean-spirited character assassination that all the others went through. She was the special snowflake whom nothing affected and who was cleverer and more advanced mentally than everyone else. 🙄
Varric can even make a nightmare laugh. He's truly the most powerful being in Thedas
Nightmare is secretly a Varric fan and has read Hard in Hightown over 9000 times.
iOnlySignIn And him and Cassandra started a fan club for Swords and Sheilds 3 weeks later.
Most powerful being in Thedas? Sandal would like a word (and that word is enchantment lol)
Honestly I would have died if the demon asked to get Varrics autograph or something. Or freaked out like the Avvar in the dlc. You, youre Varric Tethras!
@@zalenahquaddy4354 “die in the void demon, but only after we get to read the final chapter”
It's so fitting that Hawke's greatest fear is always about the safety of her friends and family, especially because of how your companions were the heart of DA2.
Considering you can lose your whole family (unless you save carver/Bethany) in 2 I find it quite fitting that her/his fear is loosing more.
their** "hawke" is a concept character. Doesnt have a canon gender. decided by the player.
i'll let myself out
Ah, yes. Because "He" being the singular gender-neutral pronoun was just another example of sexism throughout Theirstory, wasn't it?
*Poncy hat going off now, disregard the vitriol*
Double irony points for the fact I only bother commenting because my main Hawke is female.
You can also just replace her/him with Hawke/Hawke's to avoid replies about it to begin with.
You can just call Hawke by their given name, God.
Nononononono, wait a minute... the fear demon... wants to.. ride the Bull? O.O Maker....
No one resists The Bull xD
What does the fear demon actually mean when he says that? Because that's the first thing I thought of as an interpretation haha :)
I can't think of any other way he could have possibly meant it, unless I'm just being dim. :/
Chelsea Tafoya
Ahahaha xD I think he means as possession (yes, it doesn't sound good either xD).. the demon says that Bull would make a lovely host (as body to be possessed) for his minions or maybe he would ride his body himself (he's going to possess him).. It's the logical conclusion seeing how Bull is afraid of being possessed by a demon ;-)
Risabi Chan Ohhhh, duuuuhh, I should have realized that haha. That didn't even occur to me haha. My mind must be in the gutter xD
Thank you! ;-)
Chelsea Tafoya
No prob ;-) The natural mental image that comes from this banter could bring people to use bleach on their brain to forget xD
Risabi Chan Agreed xD
omg
"Greetings Dorian.. It is Dorian, isn't it? For a moment there, I mistook you for your Father."
"Rather uncalled for."
I love Dorian's character so much! It's a little bit sad though, knowing he uses his humour as a means to protect himself, reminds me of myself a little hahaha.
Using humor helps others laugh, it eases our pain. Us humor deflectors that is.
"Sera, Sera, Sera... If you shoot an arrow at me, I'll know where you are"
This is my favourite one. It's so simple yet so effective.
+
There is also a graveyard where you can see what each of your companions tomb with what they hate the most on it.
Blackwall : Himself
Cole : Despair
Solas: Dying alone
Sera: The nothing
Dorian : Temptation
Cassandra: Helplessness
Vivienne: Irrelevance
Ironbull: Madness
Varric: Became his parents
It's not their hate. It's their fear.
I'm going to rewrite Strouds fear: How does it feel that nobody gives a shit about you? You will only survive tens of times in millions of playthroughs. Where is your Maker now?
*****
I would actually call it the opposite of heartless, since I guess you enjoy a bit of thought-provoking tragedy. It's actually pretty heartless that many of us thoughtlessly sacrifice Stroud. :P
Well there's so little to him in comparison to the other Grey Wardens and Hawke. He's a good start to a character, but there isn't too much there yet. Still yeah, it's kind of sad he gets killed so often because people can't bare to lose Hawke. Heck, I did the same myself.
SetsunaNoroi
I'm just not sure why they put Stroud there, Bethany or Carver as Wardens, heck even anyone from Awakening would've fit better. I guess that would've been a ton of work to figure out all the specifics.
I'm not sure I would have liked to have to chose between Bethany or Hawke actually. That would have broken my heart. Carver I might have picked to die, but only because it would be a good finale to his character to lay down his life for his sister after everything he'd felt about her before, but then he died in Lothering in my play through so I guess that wouldn't even be an option.
I think Bioware put him in for the "safe" bet. Through in a character not many know or care about. That way you soften the blow of the choice. There are going to be those that play Bioware games that want as many happy endings as possible and sacrificing a character you know little about is much easier.
I have a different point of view of Stroud. I think that in this momment he doesn't represents just a needless character. I guess he's more like the very only one cappable enough to rebuilt the Gray Wardens Order back to the glory. In my campaign I died to kill the Archdemon and after all this mess with de Venatori, the Gray Wardens has just lost their respect and honor, because no one else would trust them to save their asses again. And I kinda understand why they attended to blood magic. The Blight is the only event that allow us to take whatever it takes to save everyone. In fact, the Gray Wardens Order itself is based on blood magic, since you've got to drink Darkspawn blood to become one. No one in all Thedas would sacrifice what must be sacrificed to end a Blight.
Evidently Sebastian isn't important enough to kill. XD
He's just that bad ass that the demon knows he can't-- *cries*
A missed opportunity. I hate Golden Boy.
Nobody cares about choir boy
Maybe he thought Hawke would appreciate that.
"I heard worse from Morrigan" oooooh Buuuurn, now I can only imagine Nightmare and Morrigan chat, Morrigan would slay him with words xD
"You must be the Nightmare, I have never heard of you before, why would this be. I wonder."
"Perhaps you yourself are afraid, It would be most interesting"
Gdragon watching Seungri on Sehun lap she did last time.
He just tell her how her mother is gonna get her.
or better yet, if she has Kieran, he would say that she will never be a good mother and she is destined to follow in the same footsteps as her mother.
Blackheart the Dark Lord she’ll only burn the fear demon alive. She has a pretty bad habit of it.
The voice acting from that Fear Demon was on point. I got chills the first time playing through this mission. I gotta know who voiced it. It was amazing.
shyboxhi It was the same person that voice Corphyeus
@@MoljnirM5VanguardN7 oooh. I thought it was corypheus.
I mean they probably only hear Corphyeus because the inquisitor is afraid of him
There should be a competition between the Nightmare, Morrigan and Vivienne to see who has the most barbed tongue hahaha.
This would be epic!
Oh, and Dorian. All those characters are so frigging sassy. XD
The Hero of Ferelden, although, the tongue is more like a small knife, covered in blood of innocent people who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hardened Leliana for sure. Vivienne uses the "My dear" BS that ireitates, but hardened Leliana just cuttthroats, no questions asked
@Nix Nil hahaha someone gets it xD
With my headphones, I feel the nightmare voice vibrating in my chest
Kiki Yuyu Some Good Ass Headphones. What're They Called?
order , Somic G909 feel the bass
Kaelah M. Same
You're the nightmare
Alistair: I've heard worse from Morrigan
We've all heard worse from Morrigan
I felt really bad for bringing Sera. She seems like the one the Fear Demon gets most to.
I always bring her, I cant fucking stand her. Any chance to traumatize her is a win.
Damn,that's deep. xD
PositiveBlackSoul she says that she saw nothing in the fade an empty blackness.
I'd live her there.
Bring her in the Deep Roads. Hopefuly the darkspawn will take her.
So Loghain DOES regret everything he's done, and he can even see why - now THAT'S integrity!
He said as much in DA:O. Heck, if he's with you at the Archdemon, he begs, "Please, I've done so much wrong. Allow me to do one last thing right."
Interesting how the Nightmare addresses everyone as an individual, except for Iron Bull... He talks about him like he's just a thing, not a person. Adds another layer of mystery around the Qunari and their relation to the Fade, I think.
CapricornTower He likes being called with the article. If you develop the character enough, you can hear him tell it
@@4dotaonly Also, the game has to account for whether he lost his mercs or not.
The Iron Bull addresses himself as such and reasons to you that his name makes him sound like a big destructive weapon. And it’s not Iron Bull but THE Iron Bull. Nightmare is being polite, is all.
0:45 Even Nightmare wants to "ride the Bull"
0:57 "Vivienne's age"
1:49 Varric and his nicknames
Black don’t crack!
Imagine what the Nightmare would say about the Hero of Fereldan:
Like, for example a Human Male Noble who romanced Morrigan: "You have been betrayed ever since Duncan came into your life. First Howe, then Loghain, and then Morrigan left you after you killed the Archdemon. You are nothing but someone to be used!"
Hero: "Can we please kill this demon? NOW!"
I like what you said
"oh, this demon thinks he's clever. lets get to it so i can watch it die...slowly."
"Really, you are worse tham alistair"
Nightmare: Ah, the Hero of Ferelden, always making all the 'right' choices. How often do you have to console yourself that all you have destroyed, everything you have sacrificed, was for the best? One of these days you will make a wrong choice and everyone you hold dear, your wardens, your friends and your lover, [Name], will be the forfeit.
Hero: My choice is to destroy you!
Or as my Hero would say...
Hero: Can I get you a ladder? So you can get off my back?
Roto Seraph Gotta admit, yours is a lot better than mine.
Dorian has the best reaction XD
He's just so blazay about it.
I couldn't help myself and lol'ed at his reaction. He's perfect, and then he gave me that adorable cutscene where he thought he lost me right after. :(
I heard a different version in my game, he said "fair call". I laughed, the fear demon laughed, we killed the fear demon, it was a good day.
Ah Dorian, the man I wish I was.
+TheRezonator Post that shit.
the nightmare "unmasked" blackwall at this part and nobody bat an eye.
If you bring Blackwall to the Hilamshiral party, there will be a noble who claims to recognize him.
Hawke's attitude during this *yawn* "oh sorry, were you talking to me?"
woulda been awesome to see the demons comments on the Hero of Fereldan
XD
That line about Anders though... like I can't. It gets me so upset (and I'm glad it was PurpleHawke who responded, that's fitting).
Hahaha "PurpleHawke" excellent! XD
+missbexiee Oh yes. lets feel sorry for the dead Anders the dead terrorist. ;)
+I am ROSSO I can't feel sorry for a whiny bitch like him. He is sticking his nose in other peoples business constantly. No matter what love interest Hawke has if its not Anders he will try to divide them.
He is a living example of how mages think they can control something but eventually it comes back to bite them in the arse. An abomination and a terrorist. I rival him always, arguing and in mid game for the first time i made just one flirt to him and he was like "Ohh i need to protect you. I will drown us both in blood only to see you safe." I was like "Uhkey... i will step back from you now..."
Hurlock alpha i fucking loathed him as well. didn't get me to kill him though. A simple execution doesn't do it justice, he needs to be torn apart by a mob of relatives of the ones that died in the explosion.
I am ROSSO
I didn't execute him because it felt cheap to just stab him in the back like that. So i let him go the first time, to run and never come back. "Thank you for my life. I will try to make less mess of it this time..." he said. You know what he did? He confronted me in the Gallows saying that i was a templar boot kisser (like i didn't help enough mages in this game...) and wanted to fight me. That really pissed me off. And yes... I sided with the templars in the end... for good reasons. As an archer i one shoted him with my Assassination ability. At least as a rival he accepts that he is dangerous to others around him and wants me to kill him. We should have had the option to let Sebastian kill him.
People like him too much for no reasons at all and are even willing to let the terrorist live and start a Kirkwall/Starkhaven war in which probably thousands of people will die. Talk about hypocrisy... Sometimes people don't think at all what consequences their choice will make later.
Pfft Alistair is immune to the fear demon because of Morrigan
bottles morrigans barbed insults and hand them out to everyone in the team before a trip to the fade then lol
Morrigan probably rained Alistair with her Entropy magic enough XD
Talking to Hero of Fereldan (human noble, romanced Leliana)
Ah Lord Cousland. No that would be Fergus. Tell me how do you feel knowing you let your entire family die at the hands of Howe. Or knowing that your beloved Leliana is not as innocent as she appeared.
Cousland: After encountering, the Archdemon, a brood-mother, and Alister's cooking you think anything frightens me anymore ?
Lol, Alistair's cooking. I'm dead XD
Also, the first few words: "Ah Lord Cousland. No that would be Fergus." Damn, that hit in the feels when you remind yourself that the male human noble could've very well felt like Fergus was better than him before he killed the Archdemon and became a Grey Warden and stuff.
With Alistair as a grey warden accompanying.
"Hey, it wasn't that bad... right?"
Okay aside from an angry grunt... that is close to what I would picture mine saying.
Dorian's response was just beautiful. A+
The line he says about Hawke really struck a blow with me, the first time I heard it. It's just so awful. Here, Hawke tried so hard to save Kirkwall and lost their family, and this demon has the nerve to say it never mattered and that Hawke's love interest is also going to die? What the hell? It both hurt and royally pissed me off. I never wanted things to go so badly, I did my best as Hawke. Fuck that demon.
But really the demon is right. Its sad but true. Somehow this is the only demon's dialogue that hurt, because in the end only 1 of his siblings survived and none of what he's done mattered.
Its double worse and true when its about Anders, too because out of all companions save Fenris, hes the only one that is doomed no matter what.
I'm rather disappointed that romanced Alistair doesn't have his own personal commentary. :( Like: 'Do you think this will be worth it, bastard king? Run from the one person that cared, and never look back? Where do you think she is? Is she even alive?'
Then Alistair go pwn his ass to Tuesday! (cuz demon rituals are tuesdays. :) ) ^^
Also surprised about how Hawke doesn't reply to Varric's worry about Hawke- like Varric's fear is for his BFF, but Alistair's isn't for his lady love? For shame, Bioware.
Danielle L-S well his love defeated the archdemon and a army of darkspawn I don't think he would be worried about this thing going after her xD
I love Vivienne's response. It sounded like she'd stomp on the fear demon if it ever revealed her age.
"And you are NOTHING like a Grey Warden." Foreshadowing much?
The only time you hear Sebastian mentioned in the Fade is if you send Hawke to die against the Nightmare. You can barely hear her whisper, "I'm sorry, Sebastian."
I just want to say, can we give a word of appreciation to players who willingly play games like these over and over just to get the different dialog in certain scenes? I mean honestly, who else has this amount of patience?
"I've heard worse than that from Morrigan"
Morrigan :
+100 approval noise*
Got some ideas for other characters:
Leliana: You pride yourself on wearing masks well, 'Nightingale'. Tell me, which of them is the real you? Do you even know anymore?
Fenris: Answer me this, slave, how much blood must be spilled before your lust for revenge is satisfied? Must every magister in Tevinter be put to the sword? Would blood running through the streets of their cities be enough for you?
Wynne: For someone who is so ready to give lessons, it seems you don't practice what you preach. The spirit inside of you keeps you alive, but why are you so afraid of death? Are you perhaps afraid that maybe, just maybe, everything you've believed in is wrong?
The Leliana one gave me chills, kudos!
Good sh*t, good sh*t right here.
@@saltedbuttercups Yeah its perfect
At that point in the timeline, Wynne died for Cole a while ago.
Rachel Anderson Cole, Rhys, and Evangaline. She died for literally for 3 people in 3 different branches. Mage, Templar, and spirit. Imagine how well that would’ve gone with both the mages and Templars when they hear that during the Conclave.
"You're a failure and your family died knowing it" Damn, That hurts.
I wonder what the nightmare said to Fen'Harel. I bet it was juicy.
thegreatmoustachio
" Have you learned, trickster? That was no victory. Your pride will be your death"
Not exactly.
"Tell me, Trickster, was your victory worth it? Your pride will be your death"
how do you know?
Ilovedallthepeople The world wide web has deciphered what little Elven exists. I read somewhere that Solas' response was basically "say nothing" in a way that was like Stfu in Elven.
He says "nothing is inevitable", not stfu
Made-up quotes to describe the Warden-Commander from DA:O - Awakening (if the Hero of Ferelden died in the main Origins campaign) -
Fear Demon: "How curious... I can't seem to remember your name. Does anyone know it? You're no inquisitor, you're no champion, and you're certainly no hero. You're just an Orlesian pretending to have authority over Amaranthine. How does it feel, knowing that a simple pen stroke from historians could wipe you out of existence? No one will miss you."
Warden-Commander:
1. I'm not doing this to be remembered. I'm just doing what must be done.
2. Funny, I could say the same kinds of things about you.
3. Jump up your own rear and die, demon.
4. (Remain silent.)
Brilliant...
The demon forgot to mention carver and/or Bethany
Covered under family.
I think the fact that Hawke's parents are dead no matter what and lost one of your siblings is a whole lot of family to lose. Hawke would have maybe one sibling left given what the player chose in the game
+MissStoryTelling barely. that brother or sister is doomed to die. So they are dead a dead.person walking.
To be fair, who even remembers Carver, including Hawke or the Nightmare demon.
Well if he chose the Grey Warden route you could say that they were doomed to die because Hawke brings them to the Deep roads even though they're not quite dead yet unless the hero of ferelden finds some way to cure the warden's and save them from the calling or they may actually be dead because if you bring them to the Deep roads without bringing Anders they actually die
The inquisition has a monopoly on the best evil laughs. The envy demon...the fear demon...keep it rolling.
that moment when the nightmare rips viv a new one here im all like SHOTS FIRED PEWPEWPEW
I know, right? I think Vivienne is awesome with her sassy behaviour but she crosses the line sometimes, it was great to see the Nightmare burn her so hard.
Sometimes??? "She is a b!tch and she knows it" -Sera
Yeah great burn, how dare Vivienne let the passage of time age her lol. Oh wait she goes on to become leader to all mages or first enchanter so I guess things worked out well for her.
Loghain's response is much like Oghren's to the Guantlet.
“Why don’t I save you some time? Yes, I wish I could have saved my family from Branka. I wish I’d been a better mate. Maybe she’d have stayed at home with a belly full of baby Oghren and never gone for the anvil. Maybe I failed her. Yes, I came to the surface because I’m barely a dwarf anymore. My family is dead. My honor as a warrior is long gone. I’ve lost my caste and my house and I have nothing else to lose.”
I can imagine what my DAO human mage worst nightmare would be and what the demon would say to him:
Nightmare: How does it feel ''Hero of Ferelden'' to know all your life you have been used, betrayed and abandoned. First your parents abandoned you in the circle, then Jowen betrayed you and left you to the mercy of the Templars, then Duncan abandoned you and Alistair left you with the responsibility of saving Ferelden and then Morrigan left you and ran off with your child. Morrigan and Kieran are going to die and you'll be all alone again.
Hero of Ferelden: I killed one demon before and he had an army of Darkspawn behind him!
V. Knoxville A god trapped in a decaying form.
Nightmare: How does it feel "Hero of Ferelden" to be used, betrayed and abandoned, First your family died at the hands of the man your father trusted, and then Duncan abandoned you and Alistair trusted you only to be stabbed in the back, And then Morrigan left you with her child, Leliana is going to die, just as your parents did, and nothing you done would ever matter.
Hero Of Ferelden: I hardly think he'll stand a chance, I defeated an archdemon, what's one more monstrosity?
A mage Hero of Ferelden could have replied with this.
Hero: "Not you again mouse, go bother someone else"
@@tashamarks2168 more like a hive demon queen/king fallen god
Varric's biggest fear is losing Hawke... Now that makes up for him not being romanceable in DA:I. Maybe the obstacle isn't Bianca, but Hawke? ♥
More like the troll demon. He needs to meet Javik. Now that would be funny
Fear, 'Oh Javik the last Prothean....'
Javik, 'What?'
Fear, 'Just... Damn man, you did all that?'
J, 'Yes, what of it?'
F, 'Good job.'
J, 'Thank you.'
DOOM MARINE may we toss it out of the airlock?
"Well that's going to get tiresome quickly."
Fear: You destroy all you touch
Me: imma touch you all over then.
Lol at Dorian - "Rather uncalled for..."
Iron Bull's makes me cringe. Like, THAT is a BEST "Riding the Bull" pun there. It's so fucking wrong and hilarious at the same time. Just, glorious, kudos to the writers.
“I heard worse than that from Morrigan.”
I mean... The man isn’t wrong.
God damn I shiver when he talks to Hawke
Why just curious ?
+marlon green I mean, it's because he's talking to you. Hawke is still you and no one like having their fears unearthed.
I think you're absolutely right. None of the others bothered me as much as the Hawke attacks did. I only played DA2 once and romanced Anders, but the idea of Merrill or Isabella dying bothered me just as much.
Erik Groen yeah Same, when the demon mentioned Romanced Merrill I felt this dread come upon me. I get WAY into stories.
When I first played this and I heard the nightmare say "Anders will die" I froze because it was talking to ME now. I love that they managed to use that feeling.
Thank you for compiling this! The Hawke and Stroud/Alistair/Loghain dialogues always trigger when I'm fighting something and then get cut off by new dialogue.
He kind of missed the Inquisitor out didn't he? it would've been awesome if the inquisitors fear was seeing the Inquisition fall and his/her friends die, and if he/she is in a relationship the demon could mention them.
LUKE0ST3L0S99 now I’m just thinking about what he would say to my mage elf inquisitor who romances Solas, especially considering he knows who he really is. Probably something along the lines of “he’ll leave you” so that we just think he’s saying whatever to instill fear and doubt in our minds, when in reality he will actually leave us after we defeat Corypheus. Or he’ll say something like “he’s been deceiving you from the start”
and give you something the reply with as well, like.
"By the time I'm done with you, you will know the true meaning of fear. Demon!"
or
"The Inquisition is mine, I decide when it falls... No one else!" (for evil playthroughs)
No he addresses the inquisitor, not in this video
If my canon Inquisitor were to be addressed, she'd probably have a similar response to Dorian. In the sense that shevd shrug it off. Shevd been a templar for nine or so years in my world for her and has seen some pretty awful stuff post Kirkwall Chantry explosion (she was part of the help sent out). More likely one or two things would be mentioned that isnvt the Inquisition: either her 'fear' of lyrium (she isnvt afraid, but would like to stop taking it. Everytime she's tried though it's also been her close to dying a week later so itvs a bit nightmarish anytime she underestimates a journey), or something Cullen related. Perhaps both in one foul swoop.
I think Trevelyan would shrug it off in a similar manner to Alistair but in Dorian's tone. Something like 'I faced worse in Kirkwall.' or 'I had to deal with five Maleficar at once and I looked death in the eye. In comparisons you' re Orlais' parties.' Shevs too focused on the situation for it to really get to her, but it's more likely to hit after deciding the Warden's fate (joining the Inquisition) and shevs finally got a breather.
Worth noting she dealt with harassment from plenty of Kirkwall templars.
Either those two things or her younger brother being a red templar. It's another big fear of hers.
Nightmare demon has plenty to. feed off but he"s hardly going to get a reaction from a comment that's not worth remembering further down the line.
She'll be shaken once the objective is completed. Redcliffe hit harder than Nightmare ever would, I suppose.
Not really. Besides my Inquisitor would just “blah blah blah. I heard this a thousand times myself!”
Can we all just give a round of applause for Dorian's reaction here? Here's the nightmare demon, throwing and calling out fears left and right, and when it calls out something that it thinks will send him into a fearful stupor, he's just chill as ever, despite being IN THE FADE WHERE EVERYTHING IS *DISNEY VILLAIN MAGIC GREEN* and keeps his fabulosity intact by just shrugging it off like Luke in TLJ and gives out a snarky
"Rather uncalled for"
Like he'd just been slighted at Halamshiral by an uptight Orlesian twat who didn't know jack shit.
"Did you think you mattered, Hawke?" Well their blood was needed for Corypheus' revival, so...yeah they mattered lol
My Warden (casteless dwarf)
Nightmare:
Ah, the Hero of Fereldin, Paragon, Commander of the Grey...no matter what you call yourself, you'll never wash the dust off your skin.
Warden: been talking to my mother have you?
0:50 hey! Nobody rides the Bull but him! *points at the Inquisitor*
Steven Stone Also Dorian can
Well... many people can ride the Bull 😂
I really wish we can find out who the Nightmare's voice actor is cuz WOW he did a great job.
David Sterne.
Captain Ellison
David Sterne voices Corypheus
FluffyNinjaLlama Ah, thank you to both of you :)
Captain Ellison Come to think of it, now that its pointed out, Corypheus and the Nightmare do sound very similiar...argh, I should have connected the two.
FluffyNinjaLlama not unheard of for the voice actors to voice different characters :P Riordan and Stroud are voiced by the same person, for example
Cassandra literally tells the nightmare to die in hell. 😂
which is rather redundent if you think about it
I just imagine Corypheus going to your Dragon Age keep account to see your choices so he can insult you
I am so glad that I chose the dragon age origin story where my female noble married Alistair. It would be the most horrible decision to sacrifice either Alistair or my female Hawke. I didn't have any emotional ties to Strout so it wasn't that hard to choose between him or my Hawke.
Dorian just doesn't give a fuck 😂 I know he's using his humor as a coping mechanism but it's so amazingly used
“Your a failure, and your family died knowing it.”
Oof low blow...
Fuck, the Nightmare struck a never on Vivienne lol
"I've heard worse than that from Morrigan"
xD True. I miss the Allistair/Morrigan Conversations.
With my first character I had Allistair as king but still left Hawke and saved Stroud, because I don't know what the wardens will become without a good leader (and i just can't leavem them without one. I love the wardens so much. *still crying over Duncan*)
I want to play again with Allistair as warden, but I want to save Hawke, because he is also pretty cool. But leaving Allistair is impossible! What will become of my hero of ferelden when her love of her life dies? But on the other side, did you see Varrics Tarot card after you leave Hawke? It broke my heart :(
So much desicions... so much pressure... i can't take it... this game's gonna kill me >.
MrsBelaFelsenheimer Varric's tarot card is the same if you sacrifice the Warden, it's just his card after Here Lies the Abyss. It changes after you do his quest with Bianca. I always import a douche Hawke who made all the wrong choices and sacrifice her/him, I could never sacrifice Alistair.
Fuck the wardens hawk is my baby!!!...
Everyone has the right to have his own opinion. I like the wardens more than Hawke, if you do it otherwise it's okay too ^^
Depends if you want to support Mythal or not. Mythal controls the Calling, therefore Flemeth. The Wardens are noble but are subject to an ancient abomination.
And I never even realised you could make Alistair as the Hawkes warden friend!!! OMG I have to play through the entire game again just for that
0:15 (SPOILER)
OH because he's NOT actually a Grey Warden
Soveraigne spoiler 2
His name is not even Blackwall
I don't know why I read this because I'm not finished with the game yet but that makes sense for me.
The one about Anders hurts the most. Leave those two alone! They've been through enough!
insult Inquisitor: I sleep
insult Hawke: REAL SHIT
yeah but sadly, its imo the only ONE they nailed. Everyone else felt meh.
@@vermilion6966 Idk. I think Blackwall's was pretty good. Solas too if you know what he said. Hawke's was still the best though (but I think it's impact is far more amplified since he's the player protagonist and his failures feel more personal bc of it).
"Did you think you mattered, Hawke? Did you think anything you ever did mattered?" - The DA fanbase.
Nightmare: “Hero of Ferelden”
HoF: “Go for it”
Nightmare: “.... actually.. you did pretty good, considering your origins
That comment about Fenris went right to the heart.
But Dorian and Sera's reactions were great.
Fucking Solas. No spoilers from Terror, I guess.
Morrigan
"Ah,daughter of Flemeth, how many nights have you cried calling out to him, how many times did you wish for him to come with you, how will Kerrian react to the fact that you abandoned his father and let him die at hands of the arch demon. Will Arthas Cousland only be a memory that you want to forget?
Have you finally become your mother?
Morrigan: " Dont you say his name, you abomination !!
for a FEAR demon he's very good at making people ANGRY
I love how everyone gets angry or scared and Dorian is like *Hey there demons, it's me .... ya boi*
*playing*
-Fenris is going to die...
-... What did you just said, bitch? Oh you're going DOWN!
Dorian - like a BOSS, lol. Completely unfazed, I love it!
xD I brought the exact team into the Fade! Dorian eating grapes with a desire demon
i LOVED this part of the game, the VA for the Nightmare did an extremely good job. i remember feeling chills when I first heard his voice
Dorrian is AWESOME!! Ha, never romanced him but such an awesome character. "Rather uncalled for", my that was mild XD
"Have you learned, trickster? That was no victory. Your pride will be your death."
Oooh, ouch, Solas.
Man, I want that kind of bass in my voice
Fenris!!!
"nothing you did mattered Hawke"
DA2 in a nutshell
Except for Anders!
John Kirsch well I guess you’re right... I did do Anders and he mattered so
Odd since it's easily the best narrative in the series haha
I'm in a romance with Solas, so seeing dying alone on solas's fears grave was really really sad...why can't he just stay with my lavellan?!?!?!
DA4 better let me kiss and fight that damn egg
The lines about Dorian and Anders.
OW MY HEART!
A whole flock of hawkes at the end there
(Thanks for putting together this compilation. I can’t get enough of these things. )
I love how Dorian was just like, “Rather uncalled for”
I'm not going to lie. This mission along with the one where you recruit Dorian and go into the future are probably the best two missions in this game.
"Rather uncalled for..."
I think the next game should have a demon like the Nightmare join your party, one who's possessed a Tevinter Blood Mage and starts off just as creepy as this guy. Over the course of the game, you'd be able to try and redeem him, where he'll still be creepy, but he'll turn back into a spirit and his personality will blend with his host's, or you'd be able to push him even further into demonhood, where he'd become absolutely terrifying, but would give you a big advantage in terms of power.
It would be cool just for the sake of having his dialogue with other party members involve prying into their past and taking delight in making them uncomfortable and angry. A sadistic version of Cole, basically.
This would be an amazing twist to the franchise!
It’d be interesting except for the fact that it would be impossible to change or redeem him since he’s a fear demon. Spirits are embodiments of emotions, essentially an emotion that was given a physical form. A demon is that gone wrong and turned evil. So it would be impossible to change or redeem a demon of fear or rage, or change a spirit of compassion and wisdom unless they are corrupted.
two years later, but solas does that, in front of you, turning a pride into a wisdom, and Cole say multiple times how he was a envy demon turned lately into compassion
Jean Henrique wait, Cole was envy at one point? I thought he was vengeance, similar to Justice.
The Nightmare's taunt to Varric is especially harsh if you do the thing later. His literal worst fear confirmed. :c
I love Dorian's responds. Just "Rather uncalled for."
"And I know you hear their voices!
Calling from above.
And I know they may seem real!
These signals of love.
But our life's made up of choices!
Some without appeal.
They took for granted your soul.
And it's ours now to steal!
As your nightmare comes to life!"
That's what this video reminds me of; Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare.
