I'm sure a few others will know what I mean, here. When things come to a head at Haven people start dying. Yup. As you start to get overrun with Corypheus' forces the game asks you to make choices on trying to sabe the people who have responsible for different services at Haven.
Threnn the Quartermaster
Flissa the Barkeep
Segritt the Vendor
Harrit the Blacksmith
Minaeve the Creature Researchist
Annan the Potions Guy.
As far as I could work out there was no way to save them all.
If you save Flissa then Minaeve and Annan die. If you save Annan first Minaeve will die. The timing is crucial.
The outcome, unfortunately, is not.
I spent like 40 minutes tring to work out a best outcome for survival at Haven, because I figured that losing crucial vendors and the like would probably have very negative repurcussions.
How narked off was I to discover that when I got to Skyhold it was all for nothing anyway? A little.
Every single one of these characters gets replaced.
Even if you save them.
They then wander around Skyhold being surly at you for having replaced them. Even though you did not choose to.
Am I the only one to feel a little bit cheated here. I mean Segritt's a *******, and all, but surely there's room in Courtyard for one more vendor? I've nothing against the Tranquil but Hellisma has like 3 lines of dialogue in the entire game. At lease Minaeve had something to talk about.
Why make a mini game out of saving them if they're not going to serve any further purpose?
I'd personally be in favour of having both the old guard and new working togerher in a best case scenario. If you'd saved them. They should be considered extra Assets to the Inquisition.
