That was an envy demon, right? Because Fiona in Redcliffe has no memory of ever speaking to the Inquisitor? Do we ever learn what's up with that demon?

TIME TRAVEL!

 

...

 

I think.

[jlb524]

Yeah...I think it was the time travel.

Like, Alexius moved them back in time to before Fiona went to Val Royeaux.

TIME TRAVEL!

I think.

Yeah, since the entire mage storyline seems to base on time travel it was probably something like that.

Another reason why you shouldn't support those monsters.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

Seriously though, the impression I got was that Fiona was under a mind control spell of some sort. Which is why she acts so odd in the inn.

 

That or it actually was time travel as I jokingly suggested.

[Xilizhra]

I have a certain feeling it's a plot thread they just forgot to include an explanation for.

[TK514]

I assumed it was the Envy Demon, or something like it.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

I can't imagine it being the envy demon. It was too busy being the lord seeker and trying to corrupt the templars. Could be wrong though.

[pengwin21]

It was Flemeth posing as Fiona to move the plot along!

 

Probably the time travel explanation.

I don't think so.

Alexius used time magic to get the rebel mages before the Inquisition could. The Fiona we meet at Redcliffe was affected by this magic. She never met the Inquisitor.

He must have cast the spell after Fiona/Inquisitor meet in Val Royeaux and it seems to only have affected Fiona since the Inquisitor remembers the meeting.

Time travel plots never fail to make my head hurt.

Time travel certainly made the mage mission feel cheap.

[AntiChri5]

It was the demon. By getting you to go to the mages it keeps you from interfering with the Templars.

[Bigdoser]

Its time travel its the reason why she does not remember you in redcilffe its because tevinter got to her first so she never met you. Time travel is wonky don't think too much about it. 

[Adanu]

Ironically, the magic only worked because of the breach.

 

It's almost certainly time magic. Posing as Fiona to direct the Inquisitor to Redcliffe doesn't make much sense.

TIME TRAVEL!

I think.

If it was time travel, the Inquisitor wouldn't remember the meeting, as in that changed parallel Fiona doesn't go to Val Royeaux.

 

So yeah, I'm on board with the Envy demon. He already proved he's a mimic.

Why? Its was applied decently. Time travel is not necessarily bad, don't know why people like you think so. X-men: Days of future past was perfection and the main theme was time travel.

 

I'm glad time magic actually exists in Thedas, this is certainly the devs giving us a taste of future usages of this magic. Although I think it was the envy demon.

Never expect fictional time travel to actually obey logical rules.

[Steelcan]

I'm inclined to agree

[Steelcan]

It couldn't have been an envy demon unless Fiona was working with it, or held captive by it.

 

Or it was always an envy demon even in Redcliffe

I thought that it did, because the Venatori were mentioned as being obsessed with the Herald and might want to capture her to retrieve the Anchor, whereas Corypheus' forces at Therinfal Redoubt seem to just want to not be interfered with.

It's time magic, I think I even remember it being outright said

[Former_Fiend]

It's time magic, I think I even remember it being outright said

 

Dorian and Felix do specifically explain in the Redcliffe chantry that Alexius used the time magic to get to the mages before they made contact with the Inquisitor.

 

That the Inquisitor and their companions remember meeting with Fiona in Val Royeaux says to me that the effects of Alexius' time magic are simply more localized than one would expect. He changed time in Redcliffe for Fiona, but that effect didn't necessarily ripple out to interfere with the Herald and the Inquisition.

Because it felt like cheap, consequence free drama. Almost everything takes place in the alternative timeline which ends up being removed. None of the awful stuff that happens ever actually happens, contrast that to the templar mission that has this desperate tone to it, of a disaster barely averted and even then, it was a massacre that happened with a lot people dying as a result.

 

I also did not think the characters were well done in the future it self, I had Cassandra and Varric with me to the mission and their future selfs  both seemed rather well adjusted. And for two people who were exposed to red lyrium for an entire year, most likely also tortured and starved, they seem to take it in strides. The only one who acts halfway like one would expect was Leliana. So any horror from seeing your companions again is squandered.

 

And this is just a thing of mine, but I prefer stories not to use time travel unless they are integral to the setting or franchise, because it easily cheapens the setting IMO. The Harry Potter books had the same problem when they had the time-travel enabling pocket watch in 3.

 

The mage mission is ok, but the templar recruitment mission shits all over it in terms of quality. The nightmare sequence in "Champions of the just" also has a far better horror feel to it than the entirety of the evil future.

I always thought it was a demon posing as Fiona. A war table mission has you hunting for a demon that can pose as other people. In a report before it was slain it posed as a whole bunch of people including posing as the advisors.
