This scene of the best part of the whole game. It moved me to tears. Unfortunately Bioware couldn't keep this level of drama up.
Anyone else absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this awesome scene?

The scene moved me, the only part that made me cringe a little was Cullen joining in. I wish he would have just kept watching, all cool like.

Felt odd and jarring to explain it in a humorous way:
Amidst the death, chaos and destruction of haven, The survivors huddled around in freezing snow and banded together forming a powerful alliance to take on evil through the power of SONG!
Starring John Howard, Vince Colosimo, Peter Phelps and Lisa McCune as Leliana. Nutra Grain brings you Dragon Age: Inquisition the MUSICAL! from the Awarding winning Director/producer of Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge, Australia's own Baz Luhrmann brings his awarding winning production down under Live at the enmore theatre from december 15th, Vist Ticketek.com.au for details!.
Perhaps you don't pay attention to, or haven't been around, for a national disaster or tragedy. In times like these, when people are broken or disheartened, they find the ties that bind us together and cling to them.
Look at candlelight vigils when someone has died tragically.
The raising of the American flag over the ruins of the Workd Tade Centers.
Coming together in prayer and fellowship following natural disasters.
Shares faith and culture bring people together and help lift them up when times are especially hard. Singing and massing together in a moment of Hope and inspiration after the man who saved you all single handedly returns from certain doom?
That's not unbelievable at all.

This scene more or less made me dislike/hate mother Giselle. The advisors are to blame as well since they admit later on they done quite a bit to encourage the spread of the Herald of Andraste rumors but Giselle was the one who forced the Savior aspect on my dalish after being told she doesn't believe in their Maker. I wonder how much of their actions are actually based on faith and how much of it they did simply because it was convenient.
At any rate for a dalish or none-andrastian the entire scene feels like emotional blackmail. After the display of faith from the rest of the camp saying no would just been incredibly cruel yet I don't feel it's right for the Revered mother, Josephine or Cassandra to force their faith on someone who believes in different gods (dalish). Thankfully the meeting with Solas after that scene gave a elven perspective of the whole thing and a reason to go on.

I loved it. The timing was perfect. Just when things seemed bleakest. It brought a tear to my eye. I haven't played an elf yet, but I don't think mine will mind. It was a triumph of human spirit as much as anything else, as well as a much needed vote of confidence.

It's my favorite scene of the game I think, that and the outcome in the winter palace when you try to save Celene and runs after the aggressor (I dunno why I find the scene dynamic in the good way, contrary to other scenes quite cheap in term of animation).

My favorite scene of the game, just like every one else. The only difference is that I had tears for it was very touching and soulful. It had meaning, and it felt like everyone who sang it had there heart into it.

I don't get why people needed a song or faith not to give up, as if trying to save the world isn't important enough on it's own, it's quite pathetic of them really. And mother giselle's "to oppose a powerul lie we need a certain truth" line was pretty dumb and ironic considering what Corypheus says about walking the halls of the black city is pretty much a "certain truth" and her chantry drivel is a "powerful lie" as far as I'm concerned

This. I appreciate what the scene was supposed to do... but, yeah, I just burst out into laughter when everyone started singing, *shrugs*. I don't think it's a bad scene, it just didn't really hit me like it did for others I suppose.
I also can only imagine how awkward my Dalish mage felt at that part (since she had just told the priest she didn't believe she was the Herald of Andraste). At least she had an elfy chat with Solas after all that
I don't blame any of you that found it corny and laughed. I was on the cusp or doing that or cringing myself. So cheesy.
Then I decided to go with it and it roped me in and I started to feel the goosebumps. I think it really sits right on the edge between cheesy and stirring and its kind of up to you how you're going to receive it.
And there's no wrong answer with this one.

Perhaps American culture might be like that, i hadn't considered it.
I grew up in bushfire territory and we've had to rebuild once ourselves when bushfires ravaged my hometown on christmas day, since 2006 i've worked for the RFS and the SES so i've seen plenty including helping the massive clean up after the brisbane flood nobodys just broken out into song and any that did probably would have been laughed at any time they stepped into the local pub for probably the next decade.

I think it helps their case that the inquisition is a religious movement and were sharing a spiritual moment lead by a spiritual leader. This definitely doesn't work without that sort of shared context.Perhaps American culture might be like that, i hadn't considered it.

Gaider and I don't see eye to eye on everything but I appreciate his honest yet sympathetic treatment of faith. It's rare to find in gaming circles owing to the meddling of moral guardians

It was a powerful scene for a few reasons:
- It was a group of demoralized people finding the strength to power to continue on.
- It was an amazing expression of faith.
- It was a calculated move by the priestess to force you into a role you may not have been comfortable with.
- Likewise, it was a calculated move to enshrine belief/possibility as truth.
The scene was a mixture of affirmation and discomfort because I understood the good in it even as I recognized it as a very pointed action against my self-determination. It is a great example of why DA:I is easily my GOTY.

Needs a *punch giselle in the throat* renegade interrupt kinda prompt to shut her up soon as she starts. If people really need a holy person to follow they can go find one elsewhere. This railroading of the "herald" bs is very bothersome, and arguably even offensive. If you argue that religious people believing reglious things is realistic I argue back that someone who thinks it's all bullshit (which we know for a fact it is) making it clear to everyone that they're wrong is also realistic, without being brushed aside with a weak "oh they need it, let them believe". Screw that, if they need it they're weak and I don't want them <.<

It's an attack, not a threat. Though that could have worked too. She starts her song, you turn around and be like "one more word and you're going in the campfire"
