Nah, we can't give them the satisfaction. We have to make a party so great that everyone comes back east and is sorry for not inviting us.
It is like a plot of an 80s highschool movie.
Though it makes me feel old: there's a perfect fanart for this, and it even includes Solas:

I keep having this horrible feeling that they're going to announce a DLC that's just another map. Hissing Wastes Pt2. Just an wide empty space for my team to walk round in silence while I search for items that have no relevance to the plot and cry.
<snip>
You never forget your first so I will always love that Solas romance. Plus I laughed so freaking much when he dumped my Lavellan. Oooh yes. Inappropriate laugher here. Never watch sad things with me. I will ruin the experience.
First, oh sweet maker no. ...I'm expecting that too.
I laughed too. The Beloved and Precious achievement popped up and I lost it. XD

Yeah... I wouldn't go there, because the implications and consequences of Solas' deception are much larger. Sure Blackwall is on his own journey and it is very wrenching for a PC that cares about him, but the same things we say for Solas can be said in that romance. Blackwall should have left it alone and he knows it, but he lets himself love someone then finds he can't escape his past. A lot of similarities.Wouldn't say meanest.. meanest would more like to be cheating on with someone and then she walks into the room and then he is like '' yea btw I was planning on dumping you ''
and I actually think that blackwall did a little bit shittier to inquisitor than Solas..
It's kind of funny that the thread gets so angsty over any kind of disagreement or even serious discussion. I guess it's good to be careful but I think the "shhhh" or "oh noes" type comments make it more than it has to be, as long as things are civil and people are working it out on their own.

It occurs to me just how much influence Lavellan has. She could mobilize some serious forces if Solas ever ended up on her bad side. My canon has Leliana as Divine, who is both very progressive and a friend of my Lavellan's. And then Orlais is pretty much the Inquisition's b***h after Halamshiral.
They seem to be playing at the idea that the Inquisition has gotten too powerful, though, so I wonder if they're going to pull a "the Inquisitor left their post" and then the Inquisition started acting as its own body/got a new, cruel leader and is now doing horrible things to everyone. That sounds like something BioWare would do.
The Inquisition doesn't seem to really have a defined mission objective now that Corypheus and the Breach are dealt with. The subject is brought up a few times about what it will become, but it remains nebulous. *What* is it, exactly? The epilogue I got makes it sound like the Inquisition is secretly pulling the strings of all mainland Thedas (I imagine further if one successfully allied with the Qunari), which is actually pretty creepy. What is that going to be in the long-term, especially when the Inquisitor is no longer running it? Even if the idea is for the Inquisition to become some sort of Thedas Illuminati, it's not entirely explicit. Some of that might be intentional, to allow the player more headcanon in what it's supposed to be exactly, but I feel like this might be an issue dealt with in story DLC, if it intends to focus on what direction the Inquisition takes in the aftermath of the maingame events.
I like the idea of the Inquisition being a sort of watchdog organization, not unlike where the Seekers failed, but something that big and powerful has a huge potential for abuse itself.
Edit: OH. And an Inquisitor who drank from the well is potentially under the influence or control of whomever has the Mythal essence. Whoops. ![]()

Yeah, I mean, guys, uh...not really seeing that anything bad was happening? It's a discussion. It's okay to disagree. It's okay to have different opinions. It's FUN and it's enlightening...when people disagree and can debate things in a civil manner, then all parties usually end up learning something, and that's a GOOD THING. I don't think anyone was being outright angry or rude or awful. And it should be okay to say that something someone said made you feel kinda bad or weird. It gives that person an opportunity to rethink their words if they want or stick to their guns or whatever. It doesn't mean I'm mad at that person or whatever, I mean I can't make an opinion about a person based on a thing they said in a forum, that's just ridiculoustown, and I definitely welcome any criticism I get for what I say, so I can better contribute in the future. I certainly didn't think anyone would or should leave the thread because someone didn't agree with what they said, I mean, that's like, crazy counterproductive. So I'm just gonna keep doing my thing and uh, you know, just be chill and stuff.

The epilogue gives me a sense of "things are stable...for now". Depending on what kicks off during DLC or the plot of DA4, the inquisition might not last long enough to become corrupt.

The epilogue dialogue about the Inquisition's influence is tied to how many war table missions you sent an advisor on. So if it sounds like your Inquisition is pulling the strings behind the scenes then you probably did a lot of war table missions with Leliana. If you use mostly Josephine it says how the Inquisition's influence is felt through diplomacy and the trading of favors. Then there's another one if you used Cullen the most about the Inquisition's martial might. And another one if you used all 3 equally.
If the Inquisition is to continue then it'll need to be rededicated to a new purpose. Like maybe stopping the spread of red lyrium ... or something, I don't know. Also, and I know I've said this before, but BioWare is probably going to have to neutralize the Inquisitor somehow. Cause you just don't give someone the ability to physically pop into the Fade whenever they want and then just forget about them.

Somehow I forgot about the Thedasian rock candy. YEAH, that should actually be what they're focusing on right now.
I think the danger of the Inquisition is keeping it focused on matters that are.. non-partisan. What the Inquisition should be focusing on are the threats ALL face. I.E. Red Lyrium. Tevinter zealots/ invaders. Old Gods. Demons. Rifts (clearly some remain if you defeat Corypheus before clearing all areas). The calling. Hell, even the blight itself.
The Inquisition becomes removed from its original purpose when it starts enabling the invasion of other nations, grabbing its own lands and becoming a physical Kingdom for power as compared to an organization.

Ah, I see, that's pretty cool. Yeah, Leliana controlled a lot of my Lavellan's war table missions. ![]()
The red lyrium problem, yeah... There's currently no way of removing the stuff and it's still growing. It's like a secondary global crisis that probably isn't getting as much attention yet because it isn't as in your face as demons and flashy rifts. Hopefully that'll also be addressed further in DLC, unless that's something for DA4.

Also there are rifts that still exist in other countries outside the current reach of the Inquisition. Pretty sure Leliana mentions this during one of the random war table comments. And I think the Keeper of clan Lavellan mentions it during that quest chain. So there are probably rifts in Tevinter and Rivain and Nevarra. I get the feeling though that there are fewer rifts the farther you get from the actual Breach itself. That's just a feeling though and I have nothing solid to back that up.

I agree. Unfortunately, I think we're already in trouble on this front when it comes to Orlais. Every slide relating to them either suggests you're keeping whomever rules in power, or that they're ungrateful and ready to turn on the Inquisition whenever possible. For instance in my game, I allowed Briala to puppeteer Gaspard; the slide mentions that the nobles do not act, because they fear her connection to the Elven Inquisitor. Previous experience suggest that we can't always take the epilogue at face value, but I wonder if there's not something brewing in Orlais already.

The only recourse is to stop talking to the requisition's officer after you've completed the initial few fills. It's difficult, because the quest marker never goes away. But I ended up filling the same one over and over and over and over before I realized it was a repeatable.
The Inquisition got every last scrap of my Blue Vitriol.
And if you can't take seeing the exclamation point, just don't turn in the last one you filled. If you're not going back to an area you can turn it in at any requisition table, including Skyhold, and the quest is finished but you aren't tempted to click on that stupid woman just one more time.

I always facepalm at the Tower of Bone camp in Empris du Lion. We hear over and over how dangerous red lyrium is and how just being near it is REALLY BAD ... so then we come across that tower that's filled with red lyrium and surrounded by red lyrium and what do we do? Make a camp right there! Like, wut? Really?
I'm also wondering if regular (blue) lyrium itself grows in a similar way. Just say, not as fast as red lyrium. But otherwise it's a finite resource that will run out eventually. Or honestly it probably should have run out already after the how many centuries if not thousands of years the dwarves have been mining it?

I also noticed that this time the epilogue isn't nearly so far reaching as the one in DAO/DAA. Those epilogue slides mention things that happen years later, possibly even decades - though I don't remember all of the slides. The epilogue in DAI goes at most a few months. Which is a good thing.

Most of Emprise is a disaster, but at least the Inquisition camps are there in part because they're trying to stop the red lyrium spread. What really freaked me out was Cullen saying that the red lyrium in Kirkwall was impossible to clean, they could only quarantine it, but that'll only work so long.
The Blight is probably what's causing the lyrium to grow so much, if it naturally does that at all. Like a virus, I guess, the Blight spreads itself as much as it can. And that's what it comes down to I think, finding an answer for the Blight. Maybe the HoF will find something...
