Ohh, off on a tangent there, my bad. Hunting letters in the Woods for current DAI-husbando. Crafting mail for the soon to come epicnes in What Pride Has Wrought and taking a looong hard look in the journal on which q's I want to do now and what I will leave for future Quizzies.

Spent some time in the Hinterlands getting more agents.
Agent status:
Forces
Lord Berand
The Blades of Hessarian
Clemence of the Tranquil
Secrets
Smuggler Tanner
Speaker Anais
Witty Rits
Connections
Barter by Belle
Enchanter Endrella
Inquisition
Horsemaster Dennet
Seeing as I'll take all the dialogue perks (currently have Underworld Knowledge and History Knowledge), I'll have access to the higher level perks really soon. Could already get Advanced Focus, if I wanted to, but will get Nobility Knowledge and Arcane Knowledge first.
Next I'm going to do everything to get Commander Vale
I had no idea that Agents counted as actual Inquisitor Perks, which lets you get the better perks quicker. It's lucky I'm using my Guide this playthrough to make sure I do everything.
I'm also just going to get every Agent possible in the zone I'm in, THEN go to the War Table and pick up any perks I need. But to only figure this out now after 300+ hours of gametime logged...man, the surprises never cease

Some interesting things developed... I've figured out Sera's role in all of this. She's Joker in ME2 except she can go on missions if you want. She pretty much told me why I've been locked out of romance dialogue with the likes of Cullen. "So the Herald of Andraste is making a play for Cassandra." Well it would be cool if she could, because I really like Cassandra, but I'm romancing Cullen since I can't romance her. Cullen just has a cute look about him.
Well, Daeni picked her team: Cassandra, Solas, and Dorian, and closed the breach. And then the solid excrement hit the impeller. Corypheus and his big f***ing dragon showed up with his army of red lyrium infected templars. I thought closing the breach was too easy. We fought a fierce battle, and there were times in the battle where Daeni was moving so fast it looked like others were in slow motion. We won the battle but lost Haven. Corypheus trapped me in town. I had ruined everything. He had to start over again. He was very angry, and his dragon was breathing on me. I don't know why he didn't just kill me when he held me dangling from his hand. It would have been easy. Villain arrogance and stupidity I guess. He'll regret that mistake. It allowed me to save the people, and escape.
Then I made my way through a passageway and discovered a new power that must have developed when I closed the breach. By Andraste! It pulls demons back into the fade! Then I hiked across the mountains and it must have been the Maker himself guiding me because my companions found me. I could have been lost forever.
Solas led us to Skyhold, a fortress high up in the mountains. It will take our bodies time to adapt to the high altitude, but they will and our soldiers will have endurance when we attack the lowlands. Skyhold will be defensible, unlike Haven. I was formally declared the Herald of Andraste by the Inquisition, and I shall lead the faithful.
I have really grown to like Mother Giselle, and she is my moral compass.
Varric contacted Darya Hawke and brought her to Skyhold. Cassandra was furious that Varric had kept Hawke hidden. I had to break up the confrontation. Cassandra wasn't happy at first, and Varric thought I was siding with him, but Varric needs to learn not to keep secrets, and Cassandra needs to learn not to be so hard on herself. But perhaps that is what I like about Cassandra. She is like me that way. I have come to the conclusion that we will need to re-establish the Chantry and find a leader. I have a couple of people in mind. Cassandra is one of them, but I would like to see her embark on a gentler path first - it was the thing she said about the Chantry should take care of the poor. Giselle is the other.
I spoke with Hawke and she swore she had killed Corypheus. She has no idea how Corypheus came back to life. Perhaps it had something to do with the taint? Perhaps the darkspawn shamans brought their master back. Who knows?
Vivienne disapproves of everything I do. Everything. Even Cole's presence. Cole seems like a harmless spirit.

Templars became my toysoldiers.
Cleared the sky of green crap.
Some snow fell on Haven.
Some fire fell on Haven.
Some snow fell on Haven.
We went up the mountains to chill for a while.
Once everyone was cool we went and had fun at a ball. Played the game like a pro, and completely outplayed Gaspard, Celene and Briala. They're now my little b*tches.
Swooped into a cave and found a blonde creature there clamining it was a grey warden. I just wanna know how the heck did Hawke and Alistair ever meet? But ofc they refused to share that story. They are up to something I know it.
Erastines, or whatever, made him a tranquil so he could serve the Inquisition and got some nice data on Calpernia.
Adamant Fortress proved itself not being much of a fortress.
Fell through some green crap.
Left Hawke in the green crap. Lucky for Varric he has to write to Fenris. Would be far more dangerous in person.
Banished the Grey Wardens, including Blackwall, not taking any chances with any of them.
Been ignoring Dorian this pt, hope he leaves at the end of the game.
Cassandra is being stubborn. She still doesn't get that I'm not gonna help her find her Seeker pals.
Sera calls me a looney ![]()

Stormed Griffon Wing Keep and took it back from the Venatori, After a quick return to Skyhold to dole out a few missions, my elf assassin and team will head back to the Western Approach to finally meet up with Hawke and Stroud and find out wtf the Wardens have gotten themselves into. Then maybe I can figure out how to get past the Gates of Toth and Andoral.....grrrr, I hate locks I can't open.

The new adventures of the Herald of Andraste begin today. Our new hero is a Free Marcher, youngest son of the noble Trevalyan family of Ostwick. Being the youngest he was destined to join the chantry and spend his days spreading word of the Maker throughout the land. He would much rather spend his days bow-hunting and his nights chasing tavern wenches, but alas his path was set for him.... until the sky blew up.
Sent to Haven as a representative of the Trevalyan family, he was there to witness the great Conclave of Divine Justinia. Something to do with mages and templars, but our hero never paid much attention to all that. Now he wished he had, then maybe he'd have some idea of what was going on. he took small comfort in the fact that no one else seemed to know much either, beyond a giant hole in the sky with demons pouring out of it.. and him left with a glowing green hand. Alrighty.
Now it seems he is under suspicion of having caused the whole mess. He couldn't remember much of what happened, but he knew it wasn't his fault. Accompanied by a woman, who is kinda hot, and could probably kill him before he could ready an arrow, he is making his way to what's left of the Temple of Sacred Ashes to see about closing the breach. Along the way, they have picked up a hairy-chested, smooth-talking dwarf, who seems to have a history with this seeker, along with an impressive crossbow, and an oddly serene, bald-headed elf mage with a lot of theories about what's happening.
The seeker's name is Cassandra Pentaghast. Our hero has heard that name before. The Right Hand of the Divine from a family of renowned dragon-hunters. He'd always wanted to hunt a dragon. Maybe he'd get a chance someday, once this mess was over with. She is taking him up the mountainside to meet with another kinda hot -- and kinda scary -- redhead so they can figure out the best approach to the temple.
And so it begins...

2nd:Elf archer romancing Cass, perfect run 100 % (reading codex etc.) just the way i wanted it.
3rd:Human mage romancing Sera, kinda rushed ~50% + main story.
4th:Elf archer romancing Cass (surprise)...because why not (ultra settings

Just finished my second playthrough with a human inquisitor at level 17, with a lot of the areas only half explored... I tend to rush through the endgame, because I always have another character idea to start. Sometimes it's more fun for me to design and create characters than to actually play them ![]()
Right now, I'm starting a trilogy run of DA:O, DA 2 and DA:I, trying for an optimal wold state with (hopefully) the "best" choices (planning to romance Alistair, Anders and Dorian)...

So I'm getting the impression that an archer is kinda fun and good? Cool. Haven't played too much of my new game yet -- still on my way to the temple until I get home tonight -- but I've fun turning a few demons into pincushions already. I have noticed that so far I've to pay a little closer attention to targeting enemies than I did with my (little elf) mage, so that he doesn't just fire into the trees, heh.So i just rushed through the game with my mage today, tomorrow i will start another playthrough again as an archer romancing Cass, just want to experience that stuff on ultra settings.

Archer is the only class I had fun with. I tried them all and archer really have something special. Tempest archer is a beast.
I've been stalking Leliana in the rookery and discovered that she has a very belligerent raven named 'Baron Plucky'. It's a total sweetie with her and a 'holy terror' with everyone else. There's a note by an unfortunate agent somewhere up there. Leliana is quite the beast master. Dogs, nugs, ravens... she's good with animals.

I've always liked archers/rangers, just fits my play style, for inquisition i went as an artificer which was hell of a fun and effective on highest difficulty so there is that. Mage was also fun and enjoyable to play, haven't tried warrior yet but i dislike them overall they are boring for me.

Well Xarovin decided that it was time to make his way to the Chantry to speak to the
love of his lifethe woman who interrogated him, when suddenly.
Spoiler
Stage fright kicks in
(Accurate reenactment of Xarovin's reaction, as Xaro can not be reached at this moment due to shovelling his way underground and in the direction of the Chantry)
That scene is probably the creepiest in the game. It's like a scene out of The Birds. ![]()

Zebah Adaar helped out the refugees in the Hinterlands: rams were brutally slaughtered for meat without sedation, apostates were robbed of their blankets and the remaining Apostates haning out in their cave were defeated. As the bandits from the road were cleared earlier, as was the templar stronghold, it was time to recruit Corporal Vale for the Inquisition.
After this Zebah figured it was time to leash the Templars
WARNING: Horrible face paint follows
Tomorrow Zebah will farm influence up to influence level 5 and thus have all knowledge perks.
Breach closing time.

Those elfy rituals are damn annoying, kept resetting on me all the time. Took much longer than it should've. And going from one ritual to the next Morrigan dared complain I wasn't going to do the rituals. What the hell? I've been doing them for the past half hour! So after all the crap I had to put up with I took a nice relaxing bath in the Well of my Stress ![]()
Beat a yellow dragon into submission.
Beat up Corybutts.
Dorian didn't hang around for the party. His loss.
And Alistair is leading the Rebel Grey Wardens kicking some other grey butts.
Celene is probably in deep ****. Having Gaspard finally learned to play in the shadows, and Briala probably starting some elf uprising.
Tried to get a murderous Leliana to become Divine. Instead I got Cassandra, although nobody really liked what she was doing. According to Morrigan the Chantry declared war on itself. So it wasn't all bad ![]()
