I micro manage the war table. I want the best outcome for the wardens, for Sutherland and company, for everybody and the Inquisition. I want Lelianna softened, not some murder knife welding psycho slasher. If I ever play an elf, I'd want the best thing for my clan. So yes, I do read the war table missions.

Meaningless small talk, most of the time not even funny or informative. They were making noise and distracting me.

So serious.LOL

Apparently, your choice of agent for a War Table operation does have an impact on how Thedas views the Inquisition overall (either as an organization that uses diplomacy, or is a secretive org with eyes and ears everywhere or as primarily a military org). I also hear it can impact the choice for the divine.

 

Personally I read it all because I think they are interesting and I actually try to roleplay it (what would I personally do in that situation?). I definitely pay more attention to the war operations than the codex entries (which I barely read at all).

I read them on the first playthrough, read the new ones on my evil playthrough, now I skim since I've already read everything.

[EmissaryofLies]

Diligently. Having Leliana and Cullen extract information in my stead and pay the iron price is important to the narrative.

[Steppenwolf]

On my first playthrough I just skipped the text and usually assigned advisers based on shortest time to complete the missions. It wasn't until my second playthrough that I realized that was a bad approach. Now any time I just get +30 Influence I feel like I messed up. It really does add a level of satisfaction knowing what you can change on that table. First time through I saved Kirkwall from Sebastian but the second time I let Sebastian take the city. Even if I don't see it that feels pretty huge(that's what she said).

[BloodyTalon]

I do cause it often does protain to a greater story and gives insight into likely dlcs

Like take how Sere beats the crap out of someone if you talk to them to long, if people read over the war table stuff more they would understand why.

[SomberXIII]

Why shouldn't I read? It would be really dumb to play war table missions without really paying attention to the text.

[Helios969]

I do read them. However, I didn't read them carefully and with a strategic mind in my first playthrough, since I never expected the differences to be as great as "this can get group X killed". So unless the difference between the advisors' paths was obvious, I chose the one who was available or took the least time to complete an operation. That inattention got the Wardens killed in my first playthrough and my Dalish clan in the second.

 

And I also love the wartable. it's a great tool for roleplaying and strategy, in some way it defined my Inquisitor better than the on-screen missions, since for instance, the weight of a war table decision, in terms of roleplaying, equals the weight of a decision in an on-screen mission, but there are many more meaningful decisions in operations chains than in on-screen missions.

Exactly this!  So yes I do read them now and try to strategize accordingly.

I read every wartable mission and think carefully about who to assign. I made the mistake of assigning the wrong adviser for the last warden mission and got them wiped out.

 

The long missions I simply start before I head for bed or work. When I get back the adviser is ready to report. The length of some missions adds a level of realism that I like (others may not). 

 

Some of the rewards are very good and a great deal of influence can be generated from the war table which can be used to purchase Inquisition perks.

 

Also after talking to advisers and party members wattable missions can open up like the one for Cullen. The wartable can add to the roleplaying aspects of the game and help shape your Inquisitor.

[TobiTobsen]

Of course I read the missions and take a look at the options I got.

 

Otherwise I would feel like this:

 

[SabreTastic]

There is also some good humor. The leader of my Qunari's former merc company always sends requests along for example. I love him talking about losing Ashaad  and Ashaad 2 and now he is running out of Ashaads.

 

And when Shokrakar is complaining about Kaariss? IIRC it's something like 'His poetry sucks, but we only had the one...so we should probably get him back. (but so help me if he tries to make a song out of this too)' I just thought Shokrakar and the Valo Kas were great in general, though. Love that story Adaar can tell during Wicked Grace.

[LinksOcarina]

Did you read the planet descriptions in Mass Effect?

 

It's a bit of old school design mechanics used in a new way, for once.They made them very interactive in the "choose your path" sense, which I really like. So yes, I do read them. 

[New Kid]

Actually? Why wouldn't I? It takes very little effort to read, and you gain lore and feel like you are achieving a lot as an organization.

[RIPRemusTheTurian]

Always.

Gotta save those varghests!

[Teddie Sage]

Honestly, I don't. The fonts used on the War Table missions, I can't read them because of my stupid eyes being so weak. I only send the adviser that requires the less time and cross my fingers on this gamble.

[StrangeStrategy]

Enough to know what I'm doing, and what my advisors advise. For the more interesting War Table missions, such as the Contact the HoF, or protecting Kirkwall from Sebastian, I read everything.

There are some gems in there. Have you ever paired up Abernache with Chief Movran?! Its hilarious.

[Arisugawa]

^ This. I read every one of them, and I usually take a moment to consider to whom I will assign the mission.

[Broganisity]

You'd be surprised how much the Multiplayer and Singleplayer relate to one another if you read some outcomes.

Our Multiplayer agents are sent out on missions from the War Table, and some of our Multiplayer Voice Over People can be met in the singleplayer (Besides the advisors, that is.)

Sometimes I am so unsure who I want to assign that I will decide to leave the operation open and think about it for a bit before I return!

[Kmaru]

I was reading it. It was obvious since the beggening that they offer the whole 3 different options, u have to read carefully and pick. And they don't take the same amount of time. One of them will always be faster than the others.

I have made a few mistakes when i saw some results, like sending Josephine in the battlefield and i was quite horrified when he always came back with the same answer all soldiers died. Those time i wished i have sent Cullen or Leliana, but sometimes your best option is on a 23 hours missions.

[ThreeF]

I really like the fact that WT missions can really bite you (especially if you don't use the PC time exploit). Most memorable for me is when I used Cullen in a water mission after capturing the Griffon Wing Keep and all seemed ok, then I happened to go there and learn that because of it a soldier decided that he had enough with inquisition and would leave. Oooops.

[Icy Magebane]

I always read the war table missions and advisor suggestions very carefully because I thought they would matter in the long run and possibly influence the game and ending... I even went so far as to avoid completing certain missions because I had absolutely no idea how to proceed and didn't want to do the wrong thing (specifically, a quest involving several suspects where I was supposed to figure out which was a Venatori spy).  Even if the vast, vast majority of these quests didn't create any changes outside of the War Room itself, I did enjoy the sense of tension I got while I was under the impression that they would... and they did create an interesting background story that helped flesh out the world.  So while I would have liked more "showing" and less "telling," in the form of actual missions or in-game effects rather than having them be strictly limited to text, I can't say that this was a wholly unsatisfying experience.  And while I understand that it would take far too many resources to actually incorporate all of these missions into actual gameplay segments, at least some of them should have been interactive or altered the world/plot in a tangible way...

[Farangbaa]

Yes!
You miss out a lot if you don't read them: they are small, witty, lovely pieces of writing, regardless of the impact they have in the World itself.
Plus, you don't really get to appreciate how scary stabby Leliana is until you read her proposed solutions.

It's just like the Codex entries you pick up. Some of them are just hilarious btw, like the entry for Blood Lotus (I think)

[Lewie]

I love the war table, it lets me think outside the box. I found myself caring about the choices I made.

 

I loved leliana for most, just in that she could make it safe for others, always trusted her and waited. 

 

Josie was amazing with nobles, killed them with kindness. 

 

Cullen is like ok enough of this ****. 

 

My main playthrough I have no missions left. The war table is done.
