This has to be my absolute favorite way to introduce a character. So well done. I was working on my fifth playthrough and didn't even notice him walking behind the group at 1:50, even though I sided with the Templars 3 other times. Well done, Bioware.

the inquisitor actually had *ORLESIAN NOBLES* walk in the muddied path under slight Rains?!

I love that Cole was just sitting on the war table, totally invisible. I love him so much lmfao

Shows up to save you from a demon Speaks in riddles Refuses to elaborate Leaves.

To all those saying we didn't notice him with the group at 1:54, maybe we did and he just made us forget ;-)

Holy SHIT. He IS there at 1:54

Both paths are effective in showing EXACTLY how serious the consequences for failure will be for the inquisitor. For the mages it shows their friends slowly dying from red lyrium poisoning who tell of a strange 'Elder One' who has taken over the world when the inquisitor 'died' and reveals the plans through hindsight. And the templar path makes the inquisitor meet an envy demon who shows what it would be like once the inquisitor was possessed and in thrall to the Elder One and reveals the Elder One's plans before they happen.

Game Cole: - quiet, deadly, mysterious - My Cole: - sweet baby boy that must be given all the hugs because he is good boy who wants to help everyone -

You can save lord Abernache by refusing to do the rituals. It's a little rude to Ser Barris, but it has a nice payoff as he apologizes for being a **** and joins the Inquisition as an agent. Later on you can assign chief Movran to Abernache and they become the ultimate diplomatic team.

love how Cole just vanishes and shows up out of nowhere during scenes, the perfect assassin, moving around like a ghost, ironically he actually is a spirit.

Not gonna lie, the first time I saw the demon Leliana slit Cullen's neck I had a heart attack

I like how Cole's hat hides his eyes, makes him look more mysterious that way

I may hate the Templars but Cole just poofing onto the war table and scaring the shit out of everyone ALMOST makes it worth it

I thought Cole was this bard mage because of the way he talks and just the way he just appears and disappears but I was surprised to see him in the rogue class. He's such a nice lad. I just stopped thinking about what he was until Skyhold.

22:18 when Cullen drew his sword and rushed around the war table, my I was practically grinning like a fool lol

11:35 for those who want to skip to Cole. God, Cole is just so cute, I love him so much haha. He's so... well, compassionate!

I better be prepared for my second play with Templars. Both Cole and Dorian have better appearances in this path. Somehow they fit. I think it is silly to have Cole unable to go trough simple door/gate in Mage version.

I loooooove Cole

Baby faced Lord Seeker. Love Cole though, but.. I think I prefer spending the extra time with Dorian with the Mage side~

I always side with mages over templars in each game, but this is making me reconsider. Cole makes siding with templars worthwhile, it seems.

I love Cole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

21:00 In the beginning of the game Cassandra say that the templars "lost their ways" but here she disaproves when the Inquisitor end their order and recruit them to the Inquisiton? Wtf? 🤔

OMG thanks for this! This is so much awesome than the redcliff thingy~

I would die for my Trash fire spirit son tbh

22:28 I wasn’t air I was here you didn’t see me most people don’t until I let them

Oh hey! It's that guy! The only one who made a movement when the Seeker punched that lady in the head. I wanna slap that guy in the goofy hat. He's got, like, coffee tins tied up in his hat. RUN BARRIS. BRO IS CRAZY. He's between things---like he's between jobs. LOL "What the inquisition needs of us" Herald: /looks back at breach Herald: /point Herald: That. Mostly. omg, Cole, you're my little biscuit. Very interesting. If you go the templar route the mission introducing it is based around Cole. If you go to mage route, its based around Dorian.

Tell you what this was in fact not like the second dispersal of the Dales

Thats the only reason why I kinda like the templar mission xD Cole has there the best appearance while Dorian can do both x“D Nonetheless I’m more of a Mage preferrer ^^

Interesting, 'cause i cann't bring myself to side with Templars, i appreciate this. Honestly i like this introduction for Cole more, but beyond Alistair and Cullen. I largely hate the order. And one was pulled out before they became mage haters, and the other had to go through a LOT of shit.

this game is beautiful in high graphic

Well I think I'll side with the Templars on my second play through. Or my third. I'm on my second, but I might start over again because I've already sided with the mages again.

Whenever I see Cole - "Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?"

The mage version is soooo much better. You get to see what happens if the Herald were to have been lost im time. Also, you get to see the side some of the characters will normally not show. Especially with Cassandra and Varric (does depend on dialogue choices).

Huh, didn’t know Abernache was voiced by Henselt from the Witcher 2 .

Thanks for this video. I love Cole but I can't bring myself to side with the Templars.

I pity the good templars but....corruption in their ranks was too great so i went with mages. That look on the possible future of Thedas was worth it and the world needs a better solution for handling mages.

I like this one, but I'm still siding with the mages. I don't like the Templars.

Forgive me, but this is my least favorite Inquisitor. I don't know why - I think it's his eyes. But thank you for the upload - I've been wondering about Cole.

I never really liked Cole. I'm sorry but I have to agree with Sera's opinion on him. He's just... odd.

Cole is so annoying. He's like a brain-damaged version of Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones.
