I loved exploring it with Cassandra, Solas and Cole (the party banter can be hallucinating especially when retrieving the belongings of the fallen soldiers).
yeah I often go there just to watch the wind blow my armourespecially when I'm wearing one of the mage coats or one of the armours with a flap on the back. Should asy Ivy nice avatar your elf is cute
Team Hissing Wastes, plus I can get all the purple metal and leather there. Love the moon and the stars overhead. My least favorite zone is the Exalted Plains. It's a craggy war zone and is just full of rocks, and brownish greenish grass and burning houses. Sad really. Very few trees. Just craggy rocks. And zombies. Rocks and zombies.
Favorites:
(1) Emerald Graves. Most beautiful area, with a really nice mix of things, both in story and in gameplay.
(2) Storm Coast. The almost perfect sea atmosphere captures me every time I return.
(3) Crestwood. I love the landscape, and the way it changes after you close the rift in the lake.
So-so:
(1) Western Approach. Really good mood, good-looking fortress and some beautiful locations, but things get tedious after a while.
(2) Fallow Mire. Good mood again, and some interesting exploration rewards for a lore fanatic, but combat is annoying. Also: undead.
(3) Hissing Wastes. A really well-designed location with too little to do for its size. Quests there are not so well developed.
(4) Emprise du Lion. A very beautiful location, but what I do there fails to appeal. I'm not sure why, but I'm always glad when it's over.
Disliked:
(1) Exalted Plains. A PITA to get around, collection quests without markers, too much fighting, and undead.
(2) Forbidden Oasis. A PITA to get around.
Yeah I like that affect as well. It's almost as if you turned a sad placee into a happy one with hope. Especially after one of the people aftrewards say we won't forget what the Inquisition did here we promise.
I like the landscape of the Storm Coast best, but there's not much to the story there. I think in the vanilla game Emprise du Lion is my favourite for the combination of scenery and story. Since the DLC came out the Frostback Basin has become my favourite because it's beautiful and I love Ameridan's story, although I still maintain that the forest bit seems too jungle-like given its southerly location and all the lore surrounding the Avvar...
Funny how most folks consider the Forbidden Oasis hard to navigate. I could find my way around there with my eyes closed, lol. Emprise du Lion, however? Can't navigate it for the love of me. Go figure.
1.The Hissing Wastes, a fun large Desert night map with dwarven ruins with a interesting impact on dwarven lore
2. The Storm Coast Atmosperic with dwarven ruins
3. The Emarld groves a Forested region in a game that really looks like a Forested Region
As for one I dislike the most thats easy the capital of Orlias, the city filled with wonders that you never get to see even from a distance and is criminally underutlized.
I would say the Winter Palace (Halamshiral) because it has a completely different pace to the rest of the game.
I like the political intrigue mixed in with the Orlesian culture and there is also a sense of urgency with the added timed element.
A close second would be the Chateau D'Onterre because of the uneasy/haunted atmosphere.

I know what you mean. For me, the Emprise was a lesson in how not to fall off cliffs. After that, the Storm Coast became a favorite hangout. The Emerald Graves and Hissing Wastes, I don't even need a map. I just wander off, and I wind up where I wanted. The thing that gets me on the Oasis is how the altitude changes. I do always keep an eye on the compass, and the way the quest marker fades when you're suddenly in an area that is close enough to matter is mindwrecking. Do I need to be higher or lower? Is what I want on the same level as me, but underground? Augggghhhhhh! At least there, when I fall off a cliff, it's not like someone who shall remain nameless bumped me.
Hissing Wastes. Mostly because of the Tomb of Fairel quest. Its probably my favorite quest
The Exalted Plains. I love nearly everything about it. The quests. The concentrated nature. The variance. The Mis-en-scene. Only thing is a bit of a weak villain.
In terms of physical beauty and involving lore, I'd say Emerald Grave and Emprise du Lion are my favorites. Plus, dragons. Frostback Basin was also excellent.

yeah that qand the elven tomb quests I like as well in the Emerald Graves the Dinan Hanin one was one of my favourites as well. I'm quite enjoying playing as an elf looking into elven lore.

I think if it wasn't for the fact that you can put markers down on the map I think I'd get lost all the time. I'm hopeless at geography
the Storm coast and the Emerald Graves.
I love sea and the waves and... well, the mother f*&king Dragon fighting the Giant with those awesome lightning effects. the Emerald graves for the forest and greens and the slight melancholy feeling about it...
my lest favorite would have to be, the fellow mire. it's just so... unpleasant and aside form rescuing the soldiers and the need to level up, i don't go there.
