I might have missed something, or the game just never explained it. Could have been Dorian or Felix. But who was this impostor and able to transform themselves into Fiona?

[uncledolan]

Probably a demon or something. But yeah wish they would have clarified that

[Gaz83]

I thought it had something to do with time travel. IE: it was her, just not her present self. It wasn't explained that well, you're right. 

[setrus86]

I do believe it was her, and as mentioned by Gaz, time travel then messed up the continueum. Fiona went to you, asked for help...then went back, got caught in that time-spell of Alexius and as such has no memory of going to you, because in her mind, she never DID.

..my best guess.

[Gannayev of Dreams]

I'll echo the others and say it was Alexius' time-magic. There were two convergent realities. Reality relative to the Inquisitor had Fiona show up at Val Royeaux to petition the Inquisition for help, reality relative to Fiona had Alexius show up immediately after the Temple of Sacred Ashes blew up, thus negating that Fiona's need to turn to the Inquisition.

[Obadiah]

Oh! Is that what happened? I thought it was a blood magic mind control spell, but the time travel explanation makes more sense I think. I seem to recall hearing that explanation in-game and, at the time, not quite being able to understand it.

[Eggplant Hell Princess]

Alexius in drag.

 

But actually just time magic. Nbd.

[BioWareM0d13]

You met Fiona.

 

Alexius, a Tevinter Magister, used time travel magic to go back in time and recruit Fiona and the Mages before you met her in Val Royeux. So when you later run into her she has no recollection of the meeting, because Alexius tinkered with the time line. 

 

If you play through on the Mage path you get the info dump about time travel magic and can figure it out. Where it all gets confusing is on the Templar path, where you don't get that info dump.

I suppose the real question is why you remember meeting Fiona. Time Travel in the DA universe seems like a bizarre beast.

[Delfin Jonte]

It is probably Envy. Envy was aready masquerading as the Lord Seeker. It is entierly possible that it assumed the form of Fiona in order to buy sime more time to corrupt the templars. Just my theory.

[Vyndral]

They do blame time magic. But i use the demon theory. Since id like to think they would have done something a little more useful with time magic. So im forced to cannon in demons unless i want to think my enemies are so dumb they all but beat themselves.

[berrieh]

I don't think it was a demon like the Lord Seeker, or we would've seen the demon in the quest. I think it was time magic. She felt odd because of the time magic and the blood magic done to her brain (my guess). And we saw her before Alexius changed time to arrive earlier at Redcliffe. At that point in the main story, Alexius is still in Tevinter, tinkering around with his magic, and hasn't yet altered time. Then, he does, before we can actually arrive at Redcliffe. Dude cut it close.

I think the time magic only affected Redcliffe and surrounding area. If you go to Redcliffe you learn that The time magic is connected to the rifts and the rifts around Redcliffe create time distortions but it is only happening in that area. So basically Fiona's timeline is changed but the Inquisitors is not. 

[Gaz83]

This thread shows that - unless it's included from the start - time travel is incredibly difficult to introduce into a fictional world.

 

Not only does it confuse matters, it also raises way too many questions about potential uses. 

 

"But if they have time magic, why doesn't X travel back to Y and kill Z before he learns about his plans?" etc. 

[Boost32]

It wads the envy demon, he wanted you to go to redcliff, where alexius would prepare a trap for you, and not to therinfall.

[mikeymoonshine]

I liked the mage quest line but I still hope we never see time travel again in a DA game.

This.

Well since Time Magic only worked because of the Breach and Rifts, it's probably gone.

 

Probably.

Or she had memories of both timelines and the event was simply wiped from her memories by blood magic. Hence why she claims to feel strange when you mention it. 

[SwobyJ]

Time + Blood.

 

The other stuff (demons, dreams) is more the Templar side material.

[Eggplant Hell Princess]

I disagree! I think they should have gone full on time travel and included it as a larger part of the the main narrative. It seems to me that a large part of the confusion is coming from that it's brought up in one quest and then never used again. So much potential for metaphysical shenanigans just lost.

 

I was hoping making Alexius an agent would give me some more time travel adventures but nope he just disappears and gives you a stupid necklace. Poop! >:-|

I imagine that the Anchor had something to do with being 'Time Proof', being connected to the Breach and how the Breach is connected to Time Magic and all that

[elrofrost]

It's called a paradox. When you met her that was reality - or the correct time. When you met her again in Redcliff, time had been change. There was a new realty. Very dangerous. Which Dorian pointed out. One slip and everything goes to hell. Which it did. But of course, the Inquisitor (with some help) fix everything.

[legbamel]

i never even thought about it being a paradox. I just figured Alexius had sent a demon to get my rear end to Redcliffe.

I still wish Varric had suggested Felix join the Grey Wardens, though I suppose Alexius wouldn't have wanted to take the chance that he'd die during the joining and your sibling might not have been corrupted in the Deep Roads so Varric might not know about it. Still, it would have been an interesting way to tie DA2 into the story if your world state included Warden Bethany or Warden Carver. Bonus Warden Felix later would have been awesome!
