One of the guys I know made this comment about Bioware's games and why he doesn't tend to like them.
"They're too Joss Whedon."
Now, that was an insult when he said it. But, to be honest, it kinda fits in a lot of ways and, I think Sera fits a lot closer to the Joss Whedon mold than a lot of characters. - For example, you could imagine her popping in to hang out with Anya in Buffy quite easily.
Scout Harding is my #1 girl right now... Sera is proving a bit too high-maintenance.
That is to say, I've engaged in various Romance conversation chains with Harding, and have chatted her up rather a lot both at Skyhold and in the field.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
So, What Pride Had Wrought.. (picked Templars in the early game)
Spoiler:
I let Calpernia live, and let her side against Corypheus. Will I see more of her or is that it? I'd kinda like her to become the leader of the Tdvintir - she seems to be kinda good.

I'm seriously turned off by the M&KB controls of this game
I can only think of a designer who said "why don't we make it so that if they hold LMB down, the character will attack? However, he should also stand completely still".
On an amusing note, someone forwarded this to me, figured you guys might have a laugh:
Looking forward to see if it goes on sale on Origin over the winter.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Sounds like you had some awkward moments?
I finally decided to go for Josephine (I blame the accent). Hilarious how Leliana immediately goes into overprotective mother hen mode.
At first I was afraid these supporting characters would offer only marginal interaction and dialogue, given how they're not actually potential party members. Maker, was I wrong.
Lulz were had. The humour in the writing is great. The game really does feel like a rollercoaster between epic heroism, grimdark drama, and lighthearted comedy.

How could anyone not like Firefly?

The Exalted Plains? Sheesh, I do like large environments with lots of stuff to do, but this region was really pushing it. The others feel more "balanced", though. Not too small, not too big.
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that compulsion to actually "finish" an area, which happens to include dozens of those damn shards, astrolabes, mosaics, etc. One could, in theory, just ignore it, which would probably lead to greater enjoyment of the game ... but there's that nagging feeling ...
I figured out the thing that bugs me the most. No customizable portraits.
Bugs and all that are annoying, but I can't make my A-hole second character have that weird leer/smirk look that was possible with the expression slider.
... heh, I had actually done the Masquerade and decided the fate of Orlais before I set foot in the Exalted Plains, so I'm rolling through the place at like level 20, telling all these soldiers "uh... wars over, go home."

Balderdash!
Aw man, no creepy stalker smile for my portrait? How will I cope? Guess I'll have to find another way to appear creepy and unsettling.

I meant that my inquisitor is using Gaspard, Celene and Briala as puppets.

I can confirm this from personal experience. Cassandra shows nipple. All of the nipple.
