I had this issue but was able to get it working below is what I posted in the Tech support forum:

 

Not sure if this will help everyone, but I was getting the CTD too, until I removed all mods which included removing the folder dai mod manger creates (Patch_ModManagerMerge) and it fixed it for me not just disabling the mods from within mod manager.  Note to do this, you need to have a save from before you installed the DLC or when you removed the folder you would get an error that the save was out of date.  Once I did this I was able to click the body and get the cut scene without the CTD.

Is there anyone who is crashing on PC that has never installed mods?

 

(I know people are talking about not being able to interact, but I need to know if these are 2 separate issues (saves me a bunch of time) and if one can be explained away by mods it helps a lot).

 

Some people on reddit posted about a potential workaround for crashing if you do have mods

Oh, nice! It worked.  It's like the Skyhold intro scene but worse.  I had tried to do a "empty" merged mod patch but it didn't work (while it worked for the Skyhold scene) so I was left scratching my head.  But the eyebrows my character was left with... :sick:

Actually I don't think its a bug, or it might not have been for me. All it was was that I didn't kill the last darkspawn, it appeared on the lower level around the corner at first I thought it was stuck behind some wall or something. 

As for mods, I have read on some posts on Tumblr they work but you can't use them while entering or exiting the deeproads as it crashes the game only during the deeproads.

This solved the CTD issue for me:

 

 

 

SOLUTION:

Open your game folder, which should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition, then open your "Update" folder.

Delete the folder with "merged" in the name.

Open the "patch" folder. Use notepad to open "package.mtf" (may also just be named "package")

Change the number 10 to 11.

Do NOT patch with the mod manager. This is process was used to bypass it, so that your save will work.

If you can't interact with the corpses, you will need to fast-travel back to the camp and run all the way back to where you were.

Either way, your game should no longer crash during the interaction. Let us know if this solution doesn't work for you.

Thanks to /u/lyrium-bee for figuring this out.

So the cutscene crashed (dropped you to windows) before you killed a hidden spawn

 

OR!

 

You could not click the corpses because that mob was alive.  2 very different bugs here

Couldn't click on the bodies no crashes. working fine now

Is there a red dot on the map somewhere? There was an invisible darkspawn that I had to leave the area and come back to see. Once I killed it, I could interact with the corpses.

He was out near the entrance of one of the tunnels for me, a bit back from the big area where the lift to the ruins is

Got the same bug on Xbone. It bugged out when I went around the ogre to take out the archers above, wouldn't let me examine the corpses. I took the "elevator" down and the doors below were shut, so I couldn't continue. When I reloaded, I still couldn't examine the corpses.

 

So I reloaded from an earlier save, fought the battle again, and went straight for the ogre, leaving myself open to archer attack, but I was able to examine the bodies then.

Just coming back to report that while I had the mob spawning issue, I had another friend with the crashing issue. For me, reloading a save and doing that one fight over again worked. The crashing issue for my friend was solved by the reddit solution.

OP, change title please. This isn't just a PC issue. I'm on the Xbox One and I can't progress due to this bug. I spent $15 on a DLC with a game breaking glitch. Wonderful. I'll try some of the suggestions from this thread, but honesty, I'm disappointed with Bioware.

I've run into another elevator issue on Xbox One. When you get on the elevator from Ruins of Heidrun Thaig to the Forgotten Caverns, the game just up and freezes your characters in place. No animation, no nothing. You can still use the camera, you can still go to your menu, and you can still switch between characters, but you can't do anything else. You can't move, attack, use abilities, nothing. And nothing I've done thus far has fixed the issue. Reloading saves doesn't work, leaving the area and going back to Skyhold and reentering doesn't work. I'm not really sure what else I can do to try and fix the issue. Whatever is going and made completely impossible to progress any further.

 

If anyone else has run into this issue and found a way to fix it or get through it, I'd appreciate the help.

I've never had mods and the only time the game crashed was at the last barrier right before the never ending waves.(seriously that lasted way to long) Dropped me straight to desktop. Luckily I save often. Started the game back up and it didn't crash again. I'm going to do another playthru on a new game tonight. I'll update if it crashes.

Had this happen to me as well, there might be one bugged Genlock right around the wall torward the next lift.

Has to use an AoE spell to drag it out and kill it

For anyone who runs into this again, the issue with being unable to inspect the bodies is definitely because you haven't killed all the Genlocks you're supposed to. If you're facing the opening at the far end of the chamber, work your way around the left side and into all the areas on that left side. In my case eventually two Genlocks spawned behind us, where we'd already been. Kill those and you can then inspect the bodies.

 

Someone else suggested AoEs, those will probably work also.

 

For the crashes, that's a different problem.
