Eh, choices. Death before even working with Humans.

 

 

It's a pointless choice. It's the same as not even bothering to play the game at all. There's no point in giving you the choice to play the story of a person who kills themselves at the start and doesn't deal with what the game is actually about.

 

It's like at the start of that Star Trek game about Q apparently it gives you the choice to not even bother talking to him. But if you do that the game ends. So you could replicate the same experience by not even buying it.

@Jedi Master of Orion:  That's why CRPG should play to a strength and have the PC make multiple protagonists.  If you lead one down a story that ends - you can continue with another (of course, your example still illuminates how pointless it is to do something like that immediately during the story).

Right, skipping all the drama.

 

I wonder if we get to see the eggs in Inquisition. Would interaction from non-wardens have a negative effect on the stasis used to keep the eggs alive?

Evil Inquisitor wants his Griffon Egg Omelet!

[Medhia_Nox]

I hope there's a way to take the eggs from the Wardens.

 

Wardens:  Hey, those are OUR griffons!

Inquisitor:  They're nobodies griffons you self-important fool.

 

Wardens:  How are we supposed to fight the Blights without them?

Inquisitor:  The Hero of Ferelden fought a Blight in less than a year with a rag tag bunch of misfits, some sky fearing midgets, a diseased group of Dalish and a Circle recovering from being an abomination playground.  I'm sure you'll figure "something" out.

Aren't the eggs in the Anderfels, plus how would the Inquisition know about it?

[Medhia_Nox]

@AresKeith:  Who knows - just "thinking out loud". 

[MisterJB]

Garahel only managed to convince the dwarves to send two sister from the Miner Caste while the Warden got nearly the whole army.

Yeah, I'm pretty much reading this as a competition between the Hero of the Fourth Blight vs the Hero of the Fifth Blight.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

But Garahel also gathered the armies from three different human nations in his quest to defeat Andoral.

Man, I can't even imagine what would happen to the fool who tried to take the griffons from the Grey Wardens. Like, the sheer amount of wrath you'd provoke beggars belief. I'll put it this way: if you want those griffons, you are going to have to kill every single Grey Warden on the continent and turn Weisshaupt fortress into a ruin.

Challenge Accepted.

Is it just me or does the author is somewhat biased in favor of mages? I'm halfway through the book and I don't think any other class has earned more than a line of description when there's a fight.

Well, two characters are mages and they're the main ones.

Garahel gets his, though.

I guess they didn't have contracts.

I don't think its the author, in all novels and comics that concerns grey wardens mages are favored. Personally I think since the darkspawn don't have Templars magic is the best tool to fight them. Could be just me though.

There was only one other book that concerned the Grey Wardens, "The Calling", and I clearly remember that all classes had the opportunity to "show off".

I think this author is just biased, nearly every fight scene so far featured little beyond mages. There was even an instance where she made sure to remark how there were two dwarven Grey Wardens around and they did nothing.

You're right this one is more biased as far as the novels go, but the comics are like this too. Even in the calling Duncan admits they would have died several times if it wasn't for Fiona's healing and offensive magic. Grey wardens usually give credit to mages, but the author has overdone it.

[durasteel]

An elven mage Warden, in advanced stages of taint corruption (therefore likely paranoid) hides a big secret--written in her journal--in such a way that only another elven mage in Weisshaupt Fortress can find it. The story is told entirely from the perspective of these two characters, so it should not come as a shock to anyone that the mage class gets most of the attention.

 

Other classes are represented, though. Most of the very important characters are not mages, but the two most important, obviously, are.

@Palidan:  Sounds good, but where to start...hmmm.

 

Oh, maybe I'll create a world spanning organization made up of mages, templars, qunari, elves, dwarves and whatever else I can get my hands on.

 

But wait... what should I call it?

*cough* Inquisition *cough*

[Medhia_Nox]

@Eluvianus Rex:  I love that name!

Alright... Inquisition it is. 

 

And our griffon allies - not pawns for a sadistic gambit - will ride proudly with us and we'll wipe the floor with all but a few Wardens.  Allow them to slink back up to Weisshaupt... and we'll call them when there's another Blight.

That only worked because the archdemon was dumb enough to hang around a very tall tower and Riordan cared little enough for his own life to jump on his back and cut through his wing. Counting on that working twice seems most unwise.

 

Also, I personally will stick with the Grey Wardens with the time being.

[wsowen02]

Just finished reading it.  Have to say I really enjoyed it even if it felt less consequential for Inquisition than Masked Empire.

 

I appreciate that Ms. Merciel seemed to have a real command of the lore, a few rather inconsequential mistakes aside.  I was worried about an outside author after the disaster that the final ME book apparently was but not once did I find myself thinking "I don't think that's correct."

 

I really felt bad for Isseya, she seemed so unappreciated.  Perhaps it was simply because of her perspective but she did so much and then at the end Garahel swoops in and is all "Nope, this is my kill, tell my girlfriend I love her."

 

And I don't think the book was biased in favor of mages.  The story is told from the perspective of two mages and it is their unique talents that are the impetus for many of the important events described.

Inquisition Dragon Riders > Warden Griffon Riders

[Joe25]

I'm not going to be post in here yet because I'm only halfway through the book. But, I can I say a pointless tick I have with the Book? Why does it start on page 11? I don't like being tricked in to thinking I have read more than I have. see you all in a few days.
