An alliance with the Qunari is a huge boon for the Inquisition. The Chargers gave their lives for this alliance, and I'd not see their honorable sacrifices wasted. Every stab into Cory's back with my daggers was for one of the chargers.

Heh, I remember hearing no end of this crap post-ME3 (not that I disagree with it, just got tired of hearing it ad nauseum), especially from that one faction that got exiled. Where are those people now? Not as tough as they were acting. They are who I thought they were.

I think if this had been a different game I'd be less inclined to be annoyed about the scope of the consequences of the decision. Whilst I can understand the depth of the personal consequences for Bull, and it does matter to me, I just felt in the grander scheme of things, the outcome, no matter the choice, felt rather hollow. I guess if it's expanded upon in later games (or books) I might in retrospect feel differently, but at this very moment I feel that the choice/consequence on a world/overall story scale was just a bit meh.

 

I can understand the feeling. However, even in the best case scenario, the Qunari are offering only an anti-terrorist alliance, so to speak. Frontiers don't change, and the arrangement is mostly at spionage level, so the common folk in Thedas won't notice either.

 

It's nothing new. I mean, the most revolutionary changes in Thedas in DA:I don't come from the protagonist's decisions:

-Founding the Inquisition? Justinia's idea and Cassandra's and Leliana's doing, not yours.

-Turning the Inquisition into a powerhouse? It will happen no matter what if you finish the game.

-The Divine? Ha! You can influence it with your actions, but you don't decide it. Even openly supporting one candidate doesn't make it sure.

Well... Grey Wardens can be pretty fanatic about killing darkspawn, and one of the main quests in Inquisition is precisely about how their fanatism makes them stupid and pawns of the Big Bad. So even with your example there's a case to be made.

I wasn't talking about grey wardens only about peoples in thedas pretty much everyone would like to see darkspawn gone and same can be told about qunari in that matter.In fact grey wardens or at least good portion of grey wardens are dangerous fanatics as order pretty much encourages to this but not so much like qunari as at least grey wardens don't brainwash.

My first playthrough Bull's quest didn't even trigger for me. What I don't get is if Bull and Inquisitor were close enough to see the mages from afar, why not rush in and save both sides, were the odds that bad?

You give the qunari more credit than I do if you think that they can keep Leliana in the dark while our forces are actively working together.

Your forces are "actively working together" by receiving instructions from your "allies" and doing what these "allies" tell you to do, on your own territory. You're not let anywhere near where the invasion preparations would take place, i.e. the areas controlled by the qunari.

All you know is that qunari have spies in Thedas, who regularly spy on things. Which is something anyone could already tell you, without having to form any alliance.

Not to mention you can only ally with them if you sacrifice your own forces to save their lives.
