The point was that the Inquisition needs to sit down and talk occasionally via diplomacy not just murdering everything in sight. Looks like story based RPGs are not your forte.
The system for determining who becomes Divine goes beyond simply supporting one over the other, but involves having the right conversation choices and plot decisions.

The person I wanted as Divine (Cassandra) was elected. Which is a little odd seeing how all the plot decisions I made kind of counted against her. In any case, it seems the game choosing the wrong Divine is a bug, not a situation of the game purposefully taking choice away from you.
Absolutely true. I think it is a mistake having a combat based game and then forcing a two hours long conversation into it. I see many people hated this missionThe point was that the Inquisition needs to sit down and talk occasionally via diplomacy not just murdering everything in sight. Looks like story based RPGs are not your forte.
It seemed pretty simple to me. I told Leliana that I would support her and I told Cassandra she should refuse the opportunity (as well skipping her war room mission to support her) and I got Leliana as desired.
No....I did have the conversations and did the applicable mission on the board too. I dissuaded two individuals and encouraged another (plus doing the associated mission for them). My absolute least-favorite person was chosen. Sucked. The game is a little broken here, IMHO.
Of all the choices where was the one to abolish the Chantry? I can't remember talking to anyone and I wouldn't have picked either one. I wanted to throw Vivienne over that balcony, slap Leliana silly, and tell Cassandra to get over herself.
There is more than just the missions that you have to do and when I did it last, I could easily see that someone might think they were done, even if they weren't.
Good luck doing that. The Chantry's not going anywhere; it's too engrained in the culture of Thedas. Trying to abolish the Chantry altogether would cause the Inquisition's support to nosedive, and the College of Clerics probably telling the Inquisition to screw off. By influencing who gets picked as Divine, you at least have some sway over the future path of the Chantry.
That quest could have been a shining example of choice and content and make or break the Inquisition. Except it wasn't. And the stupid quest was bugged (or parts of it), I still have the quest to go open that room after finishing the game. Meh. Just meh.
So what exactly 'more' is required vs. exhausting the conversations with each individual and completing (or choosing not to) associated quests/items on the mission board?
The process is a joke, quite literally, and poorly done.
I can't look at what you have done to know. Either you are not fulling going through the required dialog, which can be effected by your approval by the character, or you got hit with a bug.
Yeah, I don't know either. Seriously, I exhausted all convo options and was very clear on who I wanted to be the next Divine. What do you do? *shrug*
It would have been much simpler to just have had an event at Skyhold where the game point-blank chooses you to back someone for Divine. Then have some additional dialogue and missions related, that you need to do in order to pursue that option. I would even be OK with the game telling me I 'failed' and someone else was chosen because of X Y or Z and they out-did my actions. But give me a reason and a recourse. That's all I ask.
Yes especially when thew world can be thrown into chaos with certain choices in the ending. A couple of choices for divine are extremely controversial in the game world, really want to shake things up. If you don't want that you should have control over that when from my perspective, I didn't have control there.
Still get CTD in MP,only been in there for like 1 minute(first time in after latest patch), guess back to ME3 MP at least that is rock stable,now what do I do with my 6.5 million credits?
Glad I wrapped-up my game before the latest patch.
If it makes you feel any better, the person appointed at the ending won't matter a lick in Dragon Age 4, other than some throwaway text or encounter that'll ultimately be the same for all three possibilities.
Dragon Age 4: Predestination. Millions of choices. Same quests, locations, enemies and bosses. Doesn't matter what you do, you'll always end up in the same place. Time is a river, you can throw all the rocks you want but it won't ever change the flow, blah blah blah.
They should make the protagonist in Dragon Age 4 a depressed nihilist who realizes that nothing he does in the world matters because the same shit will happen no matter what he does with his life.
^_^
That isn't nihilism. Nihilism rejects meaning, the concept of change is entirely separate.
The protagonist comes to believe his life, and everyone else's life, lacks any meaning because their choices have no material impact on the world, which is how he becomes a nihilist. I can write up a draft story script for the game if you'd like.
