[Unpleasant Implications]

Is there anything that you hoped would be brought up in the game but wasn't? Any loose plot threads or things that weren't addressed quite as clearly as they could have been that you hoped would been cleared here?

[Dr. Rush]

Everything from Awakening seems to be forgotten or abandoned or put off till the future. The Architect and all the characters. We got to see Nathaniel in DA2, but that was it. DA Keep doesn't even have a section for Awakening companions, so there is no way to indicate whether or not they became wardens and if they survived the end of Awakening. 

I need more resolution for Awakening arcs. 

[King Cousland]

I would have liked to have seen The Architect tied in and the Fereldan monarch play a more robust role along with The Warden. 

[BabyPuncher]

Quite a few. Most from Inquisition itself.

[ndw542]

Sandal.

[Imperius898]

I loved DA2 and I wanted what its ending promised: a brutal war between the Mages and Templars, each side bent on eradicating each other----mages because they are oppressed 9 times out of 10 in circles, and templars because they're conditioned to fear/combat magic. 

 

I wanted Meredith-tier Templar characters, and Anders-Tier mage characters-------well written, with varying degrees of fanaticism. 

 

I wanted to see City States and countries like Kirkwall and Ferelden throw off the shackles of the Chantry(and the Inquisition!), the Templar order, and other failing/despotic institutions, and grand Qunari Invasion-esque campaigns where the protagonist fight off mages or templar factions from their City/Region.

 

I wanted interesting characters, not necessarily new ones: Fenris should have replaced Dorian, Velanna should have replaced Blackwall, and Shale to replace DAI!Varric(otherwise known as depressed Varric, not Fun!Varric from DA2). 

 

Unless a good story-based DLC comes out that centers around Hawke/Anders/Alistair/Morrigan/etc., (or any other of the many lingering plotlines that weren't resolved at the end of the game) then I'm just going to look at this game and everything in it as non-canon. It's like the Mass Effect 3 ending all over again----------only in this case the ending is the entirety of Inquisition.

I would have liked more commentary on my Warden. I understand why she's not shown, but I'd have appreciated more of a nod- she's Chancellor, whether or not she's popular, her relationship (in this case, mistress) to the monarchy, etc.

[SwobyJ]

Agreed with remarks on Awakening (IT BETTER NOT BE FORGOTTEN; in at least some ways, I enjoyed it more than Origins! Though seeing rifts made me pleased since Awakening had those) and Sandal.

 

I expected more town and city content. I didn't expect emphasis on them, but the small village areas and Val Royeaux was nothing, though yes, Val was pretty and interesting for what it had. I'm almost expecting a Val Royeaux DLC though... heh...

 

I wondered if we'd have Free Marches and Nevarran content, but that ended up not happening.

 

Ferelden ended up not being much of anything really. In terms of plot relevance, it felt more like it was there for Biwoare to say it was there - while this is really an Orlesian game. It was especially sad to see King Alistair just.. there. For like a minute. Then poof gone lol.

 

 

The big thing I wanted was actually dealt with. I wanted more exploration and understanding of the Fade, and I got that. Obviously there's much more to go, but I'm pleased with the answers and new questions I got. However, I'd welcome one big DLC that involves the Fade again, in a new way. Bring it on

 

I dunno if this is truly Bioware's choice or not, but I don't like my Warden sidelined to this extent. If there really is a plan to do something with him, then go for it. I'm not expecting him to be protagonist again, or a central part of a main storyline, but hey, I don't like ignoring him. If anything, make it an optional DLC that we can decide to make canon or not.

 

I'd love for explorations of the map to the boundaries of Thedas. Far South, Far West (interesting names of things there).

 

 

Honestly DAI is pretty good for a base game (my particular complaints notwithstanding), but there could be so much more. In fact, its fashioned in a way that I'd support:

1)Not just one year of DLC, but two

2)Not just a few DLC, but several (of significant sizes, miniexpansion packs that are at minimum as long as a main story quest in DAI)

3)Much more variety in DLC content. Cities, uncharted regions, content to fill in or at least involve the 5+ maps that had no main story content, Skyhold activities and invasions... anything really. That's the good part of this - DAI is set up to support ANYTHING. So do it!

I concur with the posters above that the Architect should have been in the game. Another related aspect that was largely missing was Corypheus' ability to influence the darkspawn. At the end of the game, after Corypheus has lost his red templars/venatori and wardens, it would have been epic if, as a last resort, he'd commanded all the available darkspawn in southern Thedas to come to his aid to crush the Inquisition - Cullen would keep the forces distracted while the Inquisitor and co. battle Corypheus and his dragon atop the floating temple. What would have been even better is if the Architect showed up on the Inquisition's side during the final battle in an attempt to free his brethren from Corypheus' enslavement. An Architect vs Corypheus battle would have been interesting, particularly if the theory about the Architect being one of the ancient magisters is true.

 

Other things missing: Knight-Commander Greagoir (who, as commander of Ferelden's templars, should have been in the templar quest instead of Delrin Barris), Rhys, Evangeline and Adrian (who should have all been physically present in the mage quest), Oghren & the other forgotten Awakening characters (Sigrun and Velanna) and anything relating to traditional dwarven culture (which was almost completely ignored in this game).

Denerim pls. D:

[SwobyJ]

Denerim pls. D:

 

I don't much care for it.

 

Maybe another Ferelden town.

[Imperius898]

I don't much care for it.

 

Maybe another Ferelden town.

Starkhaven pls! Have a city wide conflict as Prince Sebastian Vael fights for the throne immediately after the battle at Kirkwall! 

[Drago_28]

I really want to know what happened to Oghren.

[SwobyJ]

Starkhaven pls! Have a city wide conflict as Prince Sebastian Vael fights for the throne immediately after the battle at Kirkwall! 

 

Sure. I'd go for that

Real side quests, interesting NPC's outside your inner circle, ai tactics and healing magic

[Fireheart]

I was actually confused about the "end" (for lack of a better word) of the M-T war. Say you choose Mages, then Red Templars come attack Haven and vice versa. So did you and Inquisition forces just wipe out all the Templars/Mages therefore there are no more of the oppposing force to wage war against the other? Or did the war end/stop because the M-T saw that Corypheus was a bigger problem, so their war could be put on hold? Whatever faction you didn't choose doesn't even get mentioned in the epilogue, as if they don't exist. It makes me wonder what happened to the war. After the attack on Haven, nobody except Fiona in the library even mentions that there ever was a war, like it never happened. So I'd like more clarification on this matter.

 

There's also other things that I think were purposely left unanswered like the sudden widespread outbreak of red lyrium all over the place, and Briala's "Eluvian network" introduced in The Masked Empire. I think these were left unanswered to garner suspense for the next game.

[Gilsa]

I was disappointed that there wasn't a reference (or a cameo) for Shale of House Cadash with the dwarven Inquisitor.

Tactics

 

And adding my own Attributes..

[Fearsome1]

We hardly saw any real indication of a mage/templar war within the bounds of Inquisition. Two or three of each fighting scattershot around the Hinterlands does not a war make?  The Chantry violently exploded in Kirkwall and the whole city went ape ****. Templars began purging mages, whether use of blood magic was verified or not. Mages pulled ranks and fought back with everything at their disposal. Varric even told us that the world was set on fire as Circles across the land threw off their shackles and took a stand.

 

Scout Harding put arrows into a templar and two mages, and those tended to be similar numbers to what your Inquisitor and his full party encountered periodically as they easily swept through the Hinterlands. There was no pressure typically associated with an actual war, so the Herald [as he/she was known at the time] was able to close a bunch of rifts, establish a handful of camps, run a bunch of errands and still had time to figure out a lot of puzzles, recruit a handful of agents; with a spare moment remaining to purchase items at the available shops. 

 

Hell, with the Venatori, the Red Lyrium addicted Templars and some doofus called Corypheus (who was a threat in name only) peppered widely throughout Orlais and portions of Ferelden, the Inquisiton SHOULD HAVE SPENT SOME TIME FIGHTING THE MAGE/TEMPLAR WAR. Nobody else took the time to follow up on the traumatic ending of DA2?

 

But ....... "no!"  Fiona surrendered the whole kit and kaboodle the very second a magister showed up peddling aid?

 

In a parallel universe Thedas, the Hero of Ferelden took a break from seeking a cure for the Calling to stop by Halamshiral to found out what the hell the thrice-damned Orlesians had done with his friends Bodahn & Sandal?

[turuzzusapatuttu]

The Warden-Commander and his fellow Wardens from Awakening. And his Mabari of course.

The war wasn't actually going by the time you get to the Hinterlands, the mages and templars there are just fringe groups, people doing whatever they want. The actual templars are at Therinfal and the mages are at Redcliffe. Corypheus pretty much ended the war by trying to corrupt both groups.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Sandal.

Came to say this.

[AmberDragon]

As others have said I would have liked to have seen The Architect and your decisions from Awakenings at least having some bearing on Inquisition.

 

I also miss Sandal and it is ridiculous that he wasn't included given everything was set up in DA2 for Bodahn and Sandal to be there, and of course Sandal's prophecy. Dagna is ok but I would have much rather have had Bodahn and Sandal in Skyhold instead of Dagna or perhaps working with Dagna.

 

I agree with one of the other posters that it would have been nice to have Shale do a cameo appearance if you play a dwarf inquisitor. Would also have been nice to see Ogren and Nathaniel or at least have a war table mission mentioning them so that we knew what happened to them, are they still with the Hero of Ferelden?

 

Would also have been nice to have a bit more balance in the game, not just huge expanses of open ground (as beautiful as some of the areas are), more cities/towns to explore, surely all these rifts aren't just happening in the middle of nowhere some must be in towns or settlements as well. I love exploring and the more open world feel, but just exploring large expanses of wilderness does get very boring, especially as the banter bug still isn't fixed (in fact on my PS4 it seems to have gotten worse with each patch).

 

I also miss having a canine companion, it really sucks that we don't have a dog this time round especially when we have to kill so many in the game!
