An anon asked me if it was possible to have Vivienne as Divine while also allying with the mages and supporting Briala for the throne, so I went through and organized the point system of the Divine election in a way that is easier to calculate your decision results.*
The Divine election could easily be swayed by courting a very small number of people, and I think Vivienne would be excellent at that (and power hungry enough to want to do it). If the Inquisitor gives her the slightest opening, she would take it. Dragon Age: Inquisition - Trespasser DLC - Divine Vivienne (incl. FluffyNinjaLlama 43,692 views.

(This is in tangent with trying to gain approval, not lower it, as such I’ve not included points for super low approval conversations.)
*Keep in mind that this of course does not account for bugs, which unfortunately do happen in that sometimes no matter what Cassandra becomes Divine.
Vivienne Point Additions:
- This allowed me, after I finished Temple of Mythal, to talk to Leliana and get the option to support her as divine. You can also just let the divine points pick who will be divine without having them supported by the Inquisition. This still makes them divine, but the success of their reign change. I hope this helps.
- Choose Your Divine simplifies the Divine Election process by heavily increasing the election points given when supporting a candidate of your choice. It works by heavily increasing the number of points you get from picking the options under 'How to Use.' If you want to read more about the Divine Election process you can look at the wiki here.
