The Nightmare's Taunts

Ah what an interesting idea! I've always thought the Nightmare's taunts of the Inquisitor were a bit short and brief though I understood why. There's no way for the game to know what you've decided your character fears the most.

So let's see... for Olivia Trevelyan, my rift mage who romanced Cullen...

Nightmare: "Oh my, such a heavy burden being carried on such slender shoulders. The fate of the entire world depending on the actions of one little mage girl. Do I even need to say it? That you'll fail and the pitiful remnants of your people will curse your name for all time to come. And even if you somehow do win, do you think they'll thank you? Or will they return you and your kind to your cages. Will that even bother you, given you seek comfort in the arms of a Templar..."

Olivia: "Shut up you parasite! You have no idea of the power hope and faith have."

In honesty Nightmare pretty much nailed the fears of my Hawke. Natasha Hawke, spirit healer and force mage. There's not much I can add to it at this point, though if she'd encountered it during the events of DA2-especially after the Deep Roads there would have been plenty especially given Carver was a Templar.

As for my Warden, hmm.

Nightmare: "Ah, little Eliza Surana. The Grey Warden mage who battled the Blight backed only by a whiny manchild and a band of misfits. The "Hero of Ferelden" who drove back the Blight. But did you win freedom for your people? Wait, who are your people eh Eliza? Do you consider yourself a mage, using your Elvhven magic to benefit humans? Or do you consider yourself an elf?" *Laughs.* "Does it matter? You didn't make a difference to either. The mages fought their uprising without you and the Elves are still slaves or trapped in alienages. You preserved the status-quo despite your powers. What does that say about you?"

Eliza: Shut up before I use my "Elvhen magic" on you!

I'll have to think about the fears of my other non-canon Inquisitors though. Might post some more later.

I had this exact same idea for a thread over two years ago, so I went back and found what I wrote for my Inquisitor.

"The rebellion will fail, Maxwell. You will be back in the Circle, the Templars stronger than ever, with you completely at their mercy. (Nightmare takes a mock comforting tone) But do not worry. Perhaps this time they will fulfill their promise to make you tranquil. You won't care what they do to you then. You won't care about anything ever again."

I'm not criticizing you; I don't expect anyone to remember it after two years. I thought you'd like to see what other people came up with back then.
