So I noticed that I've unlocked a few "Agents", those random NPCs in the game that will join the inquisiton after you do a quest and then convince them.
What do they do? Anything special? I feel like I haven't noticed them do anything or maybe I'm just crazy and they do and I havent noticed. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question I just can't seem to find the answer anywhere!
- reduce operation time for Cullen, Josephine or Leliana
- 1 new perk to spend
So in terms of the game's story, they do nothing?
It is sort of like the "War Assets" in ME3. You recruit all these people, military units, and factions, but you never actually get to see how they are implemented/used within the story. To us, they are just gameplay devices to say "Okay, you have enough assets to complete the story"
Whoa whoa back up the bus. They give a perk point? I didnt notice that...I feel like I was getting them incredibly slow. Maybe that was broken in my game because I feel like I got 2 hole perk points in hinterlands.

Next time you have a perk point to spend, check out all the options in each of the perk categories. You should notice that your new agent is now listed as a slot in one of those categories. Mousing over will tell you what benefit you've gained from having them. Normally it is just a reduction in operation time for one of the operatives.

Again, so agents really do not do anything.
They don't give you a perk point, but they reduce the number for specific perks. For example (Don't quote me on the numbers, just an example)
Let's say you need to spent 4 points in the Inquisition category, to unlock special training for you inquisitor.
Now, If you recruit an Agent for that category, the number to unlock special training is reduced by one, so you only have to spent 3 points to unlock this.
Again, so agents really do not do anything.
Nope, that's not what was said.
Also you'll occasionally see most (But not all) of them wandering around Skyhold, you can interact with them but they don't have much to say.

Oh that is a really neat detail! So agents do not give a perk point? They just reduce how many perk points you need for certain things?
A few of them open up war table missions as well, the guy from Emprise du Lion for example.
They count as a perk point in their category. It's nifty.Oh that is a really neat detail! So agents do not give a perk point? They just reduce how many perk points you need for certain things?
I feel like the only thing that has driven me crazy so far has been the Deft Hands perk to open locked doors..hmm
Think of them as buffs. You don't "need" them, but they will give you some advantages, as covered above.
That isn't doing "nothing", but it definitely is something you can skip if you don't want to bother with them.
There are some things to keep in mind with Agents.
1. They reduce the amount of time the specialist they are placed under takes to complete missions.
2. Some unlock war table operations.
3. Some will unlock shops that you cannot obtain without them (Master Dennet as as example gives you a mount store once recruited.)
4. They count as a perk in whatever specialist tree they are in, reducing the number of perks you need to spend in that tree to unlock the higher level perks. (having 4 agents that are in Cullen's tree will allow you to grab the advanced focus perk without having ever actually spent any other points in that category previously.)
Do they affect story:
Not really. They are optional. Because of this, some of them become unavailable to be unlocked after certain points of the game.
Is that why the different advisors take different times on missions? I though one was just better at the task than the others.
That too. But the fact that some take shorter on a mission, doesn't mean they're better at it.
For example some may disregard the issue completely and do nothing. It will take the shortest time probably, but it doesn't mean it's the best option.
Again, so agents really do not do anything.
Story wise, you're right.
Agenty things
If they told you, they'd have to kill you.
I think they could be 'potential' DLC multiplayer characters...
