Round #4 — Match 5 of 13
Shale
“i love shale because she’s just constantly irritated to be alive and it’s relatable. also her worldview is so blunt it becomes weirdly refreshing. everyone else is doing speeches and she’s like “i would like to crush something.” perfect.”
vs. Sera
“In a game where you become the face of an organisation which seeks to woo the rich and powerful to ensure its survival, you are joined by someone who believes in punching up. However, she isn't a gallant folk hero, she's an agitator. She believes in justice for the common people but that doesn't mean she is without her own prejudices and she wears those biases on her sleeve. Sera doesn't care that her beliefs seem contrary because they just make sense to her. And she's scared, so scared, but it doesn't stop her. She's brave and reckless and true to herself. It is so rare in Dragon Age to have a character be so upfront about their aims. I think one of Inquisition's biggest crimes (the treatment of Vivienne as a character is another) is that your dialogue choices when in conversation with Sera often force you to be dismissive of her views. She's absolutely right when she talks about the politics not really making much difference to the little folks. One royal arse on the throne is the same as another if they both just shit on you. Sera as a character forces you to think about whether you're really a hero. Also, her song is a banger. Justice for Sera, bane of the rich and powerful.”
“i love sera because she’s loud and annoying on purpose and it’s a survival strategy. she keeps things grounded by refusing to treat power like it’s sacred. also her sense of humor is so specific. like yes throw a pie at the concept of authority i support you”
“she's my wife and i love her”
Who should advance?
Shale
Sera
