Nah can't be bothered so I just look up the name of the mission on the internet and assign the correct advisor and call it a day. If there was more to them instead of just a codex entry I'd be more inclined to read and care about them.

[Your Mum]

I try to, but I play on a big old chunky box television that isn't LCD or HD or what have you, and the text is VERY small, and VERY blurry, so I tend to just, y'know.. Wing it, really.

Eh. Some have rather dire consequences if you pick the wrong advisor (dead Wardens, dead Dalish clan, among others), other give you schematics you can't otherwise get if you pick the right one (best example is probably the missions you get from sacrificing the chargers, if you pick the right options you get a masterwork staff that is impossible to get otherwise)

 

Thanks

I didn't read them until my second playthrough really. You actually learn a lot of interesting stuff and things can go multiple different ways with your war table missions. For example, some of the wardens could no longer serve me in battle because of a warden war table mission in which my choice resulted in heavy casualties for the Grey Wardens.

There are a ton of war table missions I didn't partake in, but when I did do them, I always took the time to read up and try to figure out what the best course of action was. I had mixed results.

[Fireheart]

At first I did, but since I played on PS3, the text was very small and blurry and caused eye strain for me where it hurt to blink :/ I didn't really care though, they didn't do much in the main story, some were good for having an Advisor quickly gather materials, and there was that merchant dude you could buy Power from. I used him to cheat so I could do Arbor Wilds cuz I really didn't want to do any more Power grinding. Some give you money, yeah, but not a lot. Then again, I never bought anything from any merchant ever in my playthrough so why would I need money anyway, huh? (to buy power, ofc) I just pick whoever offers the shortest time of completion for said mission. Most of the time it was Josephine, least Cullen.

 

Would be better if you could actually participate in the missions. I knew I wouldn't like DAI the moment I saw that Lavellan clan WT mission and I have to choose an Advisor to go... Why am I sending a stranger to give a message to my clan? I can spend 10 hours in the Hinterlands wandering around doing nothing in particular but I can't go see my family and tell them "hey, guys, I'm alright. you should know some stupid ol' darkspawn magister couldn't take me down so easily."

After a few unfortunate missions I let her run early on before I realized the impact the different advisors had on the result, Leliana now has a permanent job of fetching elfroot and other resources that I don't mind can't fight back.  Everything of any sort of delicacy or importance is left to Cullen or Josie lol   I still kind of imagine Leliana behind a tree stalking the elfroot screaming "DIE!!!!" as she cuts one down.  

 

I always do and that how I know how crazy Leliana is. One mission offering shoe to boost the morale of soldiers....the next stating the best way to deal with Minstrels spreading lies is to cut out their tongue....

 

She scares me.

[Johanna]

Er...Yes? Text is there to be read, after all.

Since Influence is otherwise difficult to get, I look up each mission and pick which one gives the best reward/most Influence.  

 

If the rewards are equal, and there is some objectively best outcome that doesn't completely go against my character's beliefs, then I'll pick that one.  For instance, if my character 51% agrees with Liliana's plan and 49% agrees with Cullen's, and Liliana's plan gets everyone killed, then I'll just go with Cullen.

 

If there is no special outcome either way and I have a lot of missions to go through, then I'll pick whoever can complete it the fastest.

 

Finally, if none of the previous conditions have been met, I'll pick the one that my character would actually pick.

 

Sorry, War Table.  When you ask me to sacrifice gameplay elements that can have a major impact on the game for hundreds of hours (perks, particularly getting them early) for the smallest amount of RP possible that lasts for the microsecond I spend clicking my advisor choice, I'm going to pick the gameplay elements.

[cronshaw]

I've made a conscious effort to yes

Initially I didn't really read them closely

[pace675]

?!! There are table missions concerning DAMP characters?... 0_o 

Now, that's new. Because I've played the game twice doing all possible table missions and carefully reading them....or that's how I thought... 

Drink Assisted Memory Purge?

[Degs29]

I read them for awhile, but always picked whoever had the shortest completion time anway, so why read?

 

I still read them from time to time if they seemed interesting.

[Dulas]

I take time to read every single quest. Although Leliana seems to provide the best solution to every quest, I rarely pick her; my Inquisitor seldomly agrees with her methods. Needless to say, my choices are always in character.

Spoiler alert!!!

Since nobody already mentioned it, a certain Charade Amell, now a Red Jenny, appears in one of Sera's quest chains. You get to work with her at the end of the chain by following Leliana's route in an earlier quest.

[Kalshane]

I read them all and sometimes agonize over the choice when it isn't clear who the best option is.

 

I do wish some of them had a greater in-game impact (or at the very least acknowledgement) especially ones like those involving the Dalish Inquisitors clan.

[Exalus]

Its mostly for role playing purposes but has little consequences in game. I feel like this aspect has been lost with the times with the advent of voice acting and cut scenes. Allowing better rewards or connecting it to in game cutsences would have added a lot to WT missions and the game overall. 

 

Its a similar issues with codexes. thousands of lines of well written text that is mostly ignored. There was one particularly interesting one about sexuality and thedas' relatively progressive mindset despite being set in a medival fantasy setting. 

[SiIencE]

What bothers me is that some or the descriptions aren't clear. I remember on some mission Leliana said something like 'Don't bother let em kill each other' or something along those lines. Also i read somewhere that sending the wrong person will cut off any follow up missions.

 

Also i don't really see the point of a lot of the missions, some give 'rep' some give meaningless amounts of gold or something else. 

 

And even if you read the war table missions most of them don't show you the outcome, i even had negative approval from some of them.... Which made no sense.

[Knight of Dane]

I did on pt. 1, 2 and 3. Then I kinda knew what happens in each one and  skipped over them quickly.

[Orian Tabris]

I... actually read the war table operations.

[mopotter]

I don't read as many of them as I would like.  The font is hard to make out unless I set very close to the tv and the whole point of playing with the 360 is so I can relax in a chair with my feet propped up.  But sometimes if I have heard of something to watch for, I'll see what is said.  

 

Would be nice if the text size could be increased or decreased depending on what we like.  Or even a plainer text might have helped.  Pretty isn't always easy to read.

[KotorEffect3]

I read them,  I didn't read as much in my first playthrough but since if you actually pay attention they do garner different results depending on which advisor you pick for that particular mission.  Sometimes things don't always work out if you aren't careful about who you send where.

[Ms .45]

There's a guy called Sutherland upstairs at the tavern, and if you talk to him it starts a string of war table missions. Doing those is kind of cool. Also, war table missions are often the only way you'll run into some characters from previous games, like Zevran. 

[fizzypop]

I read them the first time around, but now no. I just used my word doc that tells me which person to use for the best outcome.

[MissMayhem96]

In my first playthrough I honestly didn't read much, I only cared about locations that I could unlock with power. When I got the report that my Lavellan's Clan got destroyed I was like.. 

Then I realized it was because I sent Josephine, now I read through what my Advisers want to do to deal with the problems. Some of the reports that you get back can actually be funny.. I remember one of Cullen's reports about showing some Nobles the crater of the explosion at the Temple of Sacred Ashes and how one Noble wanted to take something as a souvenir, I forgot what it was. And the Officer who took them up there said they should just drop them off at the crater and leave..
