    i still don't know why i'm in charge though
    cassandra's all "THAT'S IT I'M DROPPING THE BOOK WE'RE INQUISITION NOW BITCHES"

    and then immediately is like "okay what should we do inquisitor"
    you've got the magic touch
    i mean glowy hand or not, i feel like the third child of a minor Free Marcher noble clan is not like super more qualified to be making the tactical decisions

    cassandra is the right hand of the fantasy pope, the inquisition is her baby, and then she's just like sure you get to make all the decisions now feel free to completely fuck up my inquisition

    maybe it's just her faith in Lady Jesus tho
    The Inquisition's primary military concern is closing the Fade Rifts / The Breach. You are the only person capable of doing that, so in a way, they do have to follow your lead. The fact that you seem to have control over the other aspects of the Inquisition is mainly because they want you to be the main character.
    I think the issue is that for the first third of the plot you should've realistically seen Cassandra dragging you around and calling all the shots like she does in the opening. It's just that they couldn't easily do it like that since it's an open-world RPG and all.

    i haven't found anything about vivienne annoying
    She has strong feelings about the Mages, and is the only strong advocate for the Templars in your party iirc, which probably leads her into conflict with many people because who the fuck would side with the Templars.

    That being said, her opinions on the Mage situation are completely reasonable. I like that she doesn't blow smoke up my ass, too. Its nice to have that to counterbalance the team of cheerleaders.
    I felt that way about her too at first, but she began falling pretty deeply into my poor graces when I realized all of her banter was basically her just being a dick to my bros.
    but dicking people out is hilarious
    i thought that was the basis of why everyone loved sarcastic hawke

    She doesn't do it in a funny way, though, most of the time she's just mean.

    If you go like Her, Sera, and Iron Bull, you'll actually enjoy her company.

    But she's generally awful to pretty much everyone else.

    Why she hates Blackwall so much in particular is interesting, but if feels like she explains it far too late.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Agree, especially her and Iron bull because they get into a sort of
    dominatrix vibe? He's totally into it.

    Vivienne's neat but I think she feels the least fleshed out of the characters you can recruit.

    Her story arc just doesn't really go anywhere. She joins your party as a politically powerful, smart, qualified mage and.... that's it. That's where she starts her story and that's where she ends her story. Even her sidequests are basically treading water, character and story-wise.

    I would've liked Vivienne a lot more if
    by the end of the game she had become bros with at least a couple of the rest of the cast. Most of the characters develop some sort of great relationship with other party members, like Varrick and Cassandra, Varrick and Cole, Dorian and Bull, Sera and Blackwall even. I kept waiting for a moment where Vivienne would develop a sort of begrudging fondness for anyone else, but she remains entirely aloof.

    It's possible that I just never got to hear her good banters. She has a few funny ones, but not really any that made me like her.

    The first one has narrative thrust and a satisfying ending

    I love KOTOR2 but having played it many times I still cannot tell you what you are doing for like half of it. You wander around ruined Telos a lot? For like hours and hours. And then you go into a base, I think. And then you go into some more bases. God it's like you never ever get to actually fly your damn spaceship around.
