None really.  Cassandra will always be my choice for Divine because she doubts herself, whereas Leliana and Vivienne are both too convinced of their own rightness to listen to anyone else.  I don't trust "soft" Leliana.  If you softened her in DA:O, it doesn't stick in DA:I because hard Leliana is the real Leliana.  I think the soft Leliana is just laying low because she doesn't want conflict with the Inquisition.  Give her a few years and she'll be all stabbity again.

I regret not doing IB's mission on purpose. Not because I don't like the guy, but my Inquisitor is an honor bound person. Once her word is given, then she will strive to fulfill her end of the bargain. Thing is, she doesnt trust the Qunari to begin with and that's why she doesnt grant Gatt an audience.

... Oh well, screw the Qun.
The moment she met the dwarf from the Chargers who made a claim that he's close to unravelling the secrets of gaatlok and having the possibility of making one of Ben Hassrath's top agent being loyal to the Inquisition...
I guess she'll just have to break her promise this time. Sorry Gaat.

It isn't inherently wrong, nor does the fact that you're a mage make it so.

The problem is when the Circles use tranquility as a tool of control. That said, I personally don't see the need to do this to Alexius since his son's death has already broken his spirit.

But Erimond? Making him tranquil is a must, and the outrage that follows is completely irrational. He's a criminal of the worst kind and there is no reason why mages should see him as one of their own.

 

Er, no.

 

By Chantry law, it is illegal to make a harrowed mage tranquil.  The inquisitor, acting with the authority of the Chantry, should not be able to make a mage tranquil.....

Well he's not harrowed. At least, not by the standards of the southern Circles, (maybe Tevinter has a similar ritual?), and he certainly didn't know better than to resist the temptations of demons and blatantly evil darkspawn.

He's a foreign national engaged in a war of conquest and expansion for a cult that has no legal standing or rights.

He shouldn't be held to laws of Thedas, restrictions and limitations for punishment don't apply.

Speaking of Erimond.. well, he can gloat all he likes when facing judgement, but I do so love that squirming animation he makes on the execution platform. It seems like reality just sunk into him that:
1. Today is his last day of breathing and
2. What if corypheus was wrong?

... My quizzy totally have no regrets loping his head off

Recruiting Vivienne, saving Celene, and making Cassandra Divine.

Recruiting Vivienne, saving Celene, and making Cassandra Divine.

I know our opinions align on a lot of things, but I do think that saving Celene and reuniting her with Briala is the best outcome. Having Briala control Gaspard is a situation too unstable for my liking.

 

I recruit Vivienne for two reasons: it'd be poor roleplaying not to, and I want the Enchanter's Seat.

Now you can get the Enchanter's Seat using the Golden Nug.

There is only thing that I regretted and that is buying this game.

[SgtSteel91]

Regretting siding with the mages before I even do it.

 

I just want to see Cullen's quest but by god I feel like I'm eating sandpaper.

 

I'm kind of the opposite; I sympathize more with the Mages than the Templars to ever leave them to Tevinter. And I don't hate Fiona (quite the opposite).

[Bleachrude]

Actually he is. All Tevinter mages are harrowed. The Harrowing was created by TEVINTER  (and is still used as Dorian mentions) to judge whether or not a mage was too weak,

 

He's a foreign national engaged in a war of conquest and expansion for a cult that has no legal standing or rights.

He shouldn't be held to laws of Thedas, restrictions and limitations for punishment don't apply.

 

Which still doesn't change the fact that it is illegal by Southern Chantry laws (which the inquisition gets its mandate from). It is somewhat ironic that a mage inquisitor, especially one from a circle, would use tranquility as a punishment when tranquility is explicitly not to be used as one. (As an aside, this is why the "revelation" that tranquility being reversible doesn't make sense to be a "dangerous" secret a la Asunder or how it causes Cassandra to lose faith . The only mages who would be made Tranquil would be those who would've been too weak to survive a harrowing aka they would become absomination who would be killed ANYWAY).

 

I don't even think Tevinter uses tranquility as a punishment if you go by Erimond's reaction....

 

As an aside, people DO realize that tranquility was NOT a punishment? Alrik used it but keep in mind that a) Kirkwall was the WORST Circle in all of Thedas and Alrik was a messed up Templar who STILL had to hide his illegal use of Tranquility?

I guess the only decision I regret is not researching the War Table missions enough and accidentally killing my clan. Otherwise I can't think of any in game decisions that really had any emotional impact for me. 

 

(Not saying the game itself had no emotional impact, but no decisions it asked me to make did. Hawke or Stroud? Wow, what a hard choice. Mages or templars? Doesn't really matter. What do with the Wardens? Doesn't matter. Who's Divine? Ended up with Leliana but wanted Cassandra but ultimately didn't care.)

 

Okay, one thing I do regret is going through with my Bull romance. It really made me uncomfortable. But I felt committed to it since I'd started it, didn't like the other guy, and didn't like the thought of ending the game single. But ultimately it utterly soured my first experience and playthrough with the game.

 

That's just a personal thing - lots of people love Bull's romance and that's cool

Yeah... The game really didn't have much emontial chooses as it claimed. I didn't care who became Empress/Emperor as long as they left me alone. But then they didn't, they took me to Medieval court. Ferelden wasn't much better. With ugly frostbitten Teagan yelling at me about GWs....

[Colonelkillabee]

The quest may be good, but the recliffe mess before it is what pushes me away from it. I mean, how does time magic even work outside of "breach is required, go with it"?

It sounds simple enough, basically it uses elements from the fade to manipulate reality. Time in the fade likely is a concept without meaning, and since the fade is bleeding into "reality", it's essence can be used to manipulate ours.

 

Or not, I dunno I admit, it's not handled that well, even if it is cool. But then, dragon age does this sort of thing regularly.

[Fredward]

Nothing really jumps out at me. There are ones like drinking from the Well/not drinking. You'd think I'd regret drinking from it but you'd be wrong. At least from a meta viewpoint. It just seems like a different choice. Briala as puppetmaster worked out fine.

 

Oh, wait. I kinda feel bad about killing dragons. Especially if you chop at their legs. Alas, they exist and there's a counter so they have to die.

[Darkly Tranquil]

I don't really regret any choices I made because I never really felt invested in any of them. I made them because I had to, and other than the decision about who to leave it the Fade (which I vacillated over for half an hour) , they were all coin tosses as far as I was concerned. By the end, I didn't really feel like anything I did particularly made a difference, and that I would have arrived at almost exactly the same result either way.

lol Poor fugly Teagan. Yeah I forgot about the Orlesian throne quest. I wanted to reunite Celene and Briala but ended up killing Gaspard and exiling Briala/ shrug ... oops. Then ten minutes later I continued on with my game. Cause nothing happened as a result of that choice. I could just headcanon Celene and Briala were together.

THIIIIIIS. I killed exactly one dragon on my first playthrough and felt like a MONSTER, especially since she had babies ;_; 

 

Ironically on my second playthrough, which was my sweet and compassionate inquisitor, I murdered dragons left and right >.> what happened to me?!

Yes lol sadly, this.

Leaving Hawke in the fade at Adament, only did it once in my 4th and final playthrough. Still highly considering disregarding houurs of gameplay to bring back Hawke

[Leliana]

I thankfully never regretted anything major on my first playthrough, I was just pissed that Viv became Divine although I didn't do her operation. I did of course discover the silly system the game used to pick the Divine.

[Dasha Dreyson]

I killed Hawke gleefully on my first playthough (H v Alistair). On my second, I'm killing Stroud. I regret nothing! Mwuhaha.

[GoldenGail3]

Doing a Blackwall romance with a atheist Rogue Female Elf. He's so boring, I mean, I tried. I tried... But I'm going to do it! Even thought he bores me to death. I can say about no other romances (at the current, moment...)

[Big I]

Regret implies I'd do things differently. I stand by these decisions, but they were certainly emotionally difficult:

 

-steeling Leliana

-sacrificing the Chargers

-giving Blackwall his freedom instead of giving him to the Grey Wardens

-revealing Fairbanks's secret identity

-sending Ser Ruth to the Deep Roads

[LizFiz931]

Honestly looking back over the choices I made in my first and 'canon' playthrough, I don't actually regret the decisions I made.
The only feelings of 'I wish this could be different, that there could be another way, but I know that this is how it must be' that I got from the game were the

Spoiler

scenes with Morrigan and Flemeth in the Fade when Kieran runs off, and the last meeting with Solas at the end of Trespasser.

Those are the scenes that really gave me a sad sense of regret and acceptance.
