So, I predicted the death of the inquisitor in some stupid and undavoible twist. Well I underestimated BW stupidity. They cut the ****** inquisitor's arm so he/she is alive and ready to some sad and horrible written cameo but he/she is not dead so no one is going to cry. This is sad. The ending was perfect, but BW can't actually be happy if they don't **** the ending. So... I'm done. Not interested in Andromeda, and not interested in DA4 now for this rushed and stupidly way to ruin a nice story. Not interested in BW any more. Oh, BTW, you should take notes on some Wild Hunt going on. A perfect trilogy with a perfect ending.

Better then the warden's fault, and is nice and neatly tied up with them being a power player and no longer at the end to make way for another hero.

Though wonder what happens if you attack the dread wolf

[Call Me Jord]

Well, that was perfect. I was expecting a Citadel like DLC, but Dragon Age themed, and they blew my expectations out of the water.

 

Spoilered some of the highlights I adored, just to keep this post short and tidy!

 

Spoiler

That random Spa Day came out of nowhere!

 

Varric being made Viscount. And handing stuff to the Inquisitor, INCLUDING A GIANT KEY. 

 

I'm very sad about Dorian, but with any luck, we'll be seeing or getting references of Pavus himself in the next game. 

 

The soundtrack was beautiful, especially the new Tavern songs, as well as the credits music. I really hope they release it. 

 

Cassandra reading the Inquisition book throughout the credits was golden, and right at the end where she giggled may of made my body develop a second heart purely for being in love with her.

 

Also I'm using one of the ending tiles for my background! Where the Inquisitor travels to Antiva and finds peace with his love, Josephine for a time. 

 

Spoiler

 

I was a bit confused, because it had my Inquisitor on the left, Josephine hugging a male figure with a woman figure behind them, but now realise it's most likely Josephine's father allowing the Inquisitor to stay with them!

 

I chose the option where the Inquisition officially disbands, which weakens the search for Solas, but it will be more secure in doing so.

 

And I love how it sets up for the possibility of Tevinter for our next game. Perhaps next game introduces our new main character, then the one after that has them both tag teaming to track down Solas?

 

I get the impression that Solas seems to be an end-goal for Bioware. When we finally deal with him, it seems like that game would be the last DA game. I really hope I'm wrong, but I guess it could happen?

 

All in all, that DLC was perfect for me. I'm now scared of not playing a not so nice Inquisitor for future runs, in case the results get quite dark. And I mean straight to the bottom of a bottle of alcohol sort of dark!

Anyone know what to do with the purple fire behind the tower inside of the elven ruins eluvian? The fire guarding the chest? Jumping Mario skills don't seem to help here, nor any spell I have.

[Kulyok]

He removes it, but you don't see it I think. You hear the snapping sound and then he walks away before it's gone.

 

Heck, in romance he kisses her, and then stuff goes white. If he removes the arm afterwards... ouch.

[BloodyTalon]

Will say this, gives members of all races to have a roll in the next dragon age

Barrier, fade cloack or the new Anchor ability.

The Qunari woman says something in Qunlat, Bull answer to her and then says "There is a change of plans, nothing personal... Bas" and attacks you.

 

It's really stright foreward, during the final paths through the mirrors the woman your choosing calls for him by his Qun name and shows up and starts swinging, it may be differently if you take him with you, but would knock you down to three party meembers.  so would have to go backwards to reswitch most likely, only happens if he is Qun Iran Buill

 

I gotta see this.

[SamanthaJ]

So when Bull betrays the Inquisitor...he is making a bit of a joke, right? It's not just me seeing it as one?

 

He's always calling the Inquisitor "Boss" but then he switches to "Bas" which is a homonym.

[Korva]

Why is this your worst case scenario?

 

I had three wishes for the DLC, and from what I have seen (respect for the character, her achivements, and her friendships), all were utterly dashed.

 

Spoiler

Our so-called "friends" couldn't wait to run away from us. The world hates and fears us and wants us gone regardless of how benevolently we acted. We fix another big threat and learn that far worse is to come. We lose the Anchor and get crippled. The world STILL hates and fears us and wants us gone. Our so-called "friends" can't wait to abandon us AGAIN, without a single word, despite Corypheus Mk. II being on the loose. So basically, our achievements meant nothing, our friendships meant nothing, and we are depowered personally, bodily and politically. What happened to the hot air about changing the world? We were a tool from start to finish.

 

It's the companion/advisor issue that bothers me the most. Why couldn't the DLC end with that groupshot on the balcony without them all walking away and instead staying together with an explicit and implicit assurance that they still stand with us, a brief word from everyone? Why can't the epilogue, if there has to be an epilogue at all (considering how easily epilogues were discarded before), speak of what the companions do while still remaining with us? Dorian and possibly Varric aside. I didn't expect anything else, really, because Bioware always does this. But it still hurts, for someone for whom the supposed "friendships" with these characters are the #1 appeal of these games.

 

I truly loved the ultimate sacrifice in Origins for its own sake, but what cemented the fact that I would never even consider another ending is just this complete abandonment of a surviving Warden. Death let me avoid that. That's what I would rather have my Inquisitor die as well. What's the point in survival if her own "friends" don't care two sh*ts about her and everyone else flat-out loathes her? Stopping Corypheus Mk. II? We know it's not going to happen, not as this this now firmly discarded dead weight of an ex-protagonist.

 

The only halfway positive and poignant thing in the whole BS mess is that the story ends the way it began, with us and Leliana and Cassandra. It came full circle, even with very similar words about how little we have to work with. That was nicely done.

[Elhanan]

Jumping to the end to avoid big reveals, and to ask a couple of questions, if any are willing to help.

How does one get that bottle/ jug off the top of the wooden garden frame?

How much crafting must be completed before meeting the Council?

Thanks!

[Yaroub]

I always said that Solas is wacko, an archdemon have more sense than him.

I don't have any issues with our companions moving on with their lives.  In fact, I prefer it.  I'd rather not some sappy "We're in this together forever!" nonsense.  It makes sense that people like Vivienne, Cassandra, Dorian, Blackwall, and Varric move on with their lives.  They have other issues to attend to. 

 

One question for the people who had Bull betray them:  Does he die in the ensuing fight?  Or does he escape?  Just wondering because if he's possibly dead, that puts a serious damper on him returning in any major when we travel to Tevinter.

[SwiftMustache]

I wonder if Xenon got the hand? Mmmmm.

He was a tough son of a ******, but in the end he died.
That fight was hard, I even liked the fact he betrayed me even if I like his character.

[Boost32]

And the Forbidden ones (not the Forgotten ones) where imprisioned in the fade by the elven gods.

Bummer, but I do like that they included it.  It's what a Qunari agent would do in that situation.  Good to know that we shouldn't be expecting to see him popping up in any major role going forward, though. 

[Dean_the_Young]

Huh. I won't be able to have the DLC for months, so I'm spoiling myself silly now, but from what I've seen and heard...

 

The Good

 

-Approve of the handling of the Inquisitor's finale. Finally Bioware commits to something that both keeps a  PC alive and potentially relevant, while neatly dealing with why they won't be PC anymore.

 

-Nice amounts of reactivity for romances and character relations. Not as much as everyone wants, I'm sure, but romances getting marriage scenes? Not bad. Deciding how we part ways with Solas? Also not bad.

 

-Plenty of in-jokes and references to be found. Not Citadel-levels of silly, but there's humor and companionship to be found here and there.

 

-A good proof-of-concept for the value of post-game DLC. Rather than Bioware's typical strategy of mid-game stuff that can fit anywhere, fixing this at the end allowed it to have better reactivity and direction for the future.

 

-Foreshadowing of the next game, but also nicely including Inquisition... including the prospect of disbanding the Inquisition. I was afraid that option wouldn't even be up for debate.

 

 

 

Some eyebrow-raising things, though-

 

-Big Decisions like the Wardens and the Orlais Civil War. Not much seems to come of those.

 

-The College of Enchanters. I'm withholding a strong judgement for now, but atm I'm not a fan. Less 'outright opposed' and more 'doesn't make sense'- at least not in the context of Vivienne, who had the whole 'crush the rebels' thing going.

 

-Varric as Viscount? That screams just a little too much of a tradition of Companions getting huge status upgrades for no clear reason.

 

-Cole playing matchmaker. If he used powers, I'm saying eww.

[MKDAWUSS]

Actually a decent DLC and OK conclusion to DAI.

I had actually thought about bringing IB to chase the Qunari leader, but benched him. "Good call leaving (him) behind."

 

There were a few times where I was left wondering where exactly in Thedas I was at (some nice backdrops there).

 

I thought Vicky's Divine Armor was nice, and I actually thought that would have been worn by default, not the robes (depending on who your Divine is).

 

Kinda got irked when Varric started talking about Bianca (the crossbow) as if he was wielding it even though he was wielding daggers at the time.

 

And what happened to Arl Teagan?

 

Anyway, I saved the dragon, didn't attack Solas, and kept the Inquisition (though it sounds like everyone leaves anyway).

 

What becomes of the decapitated hand? Chekhov Gun?

[KumoriYami]

okay.. Seriously. What happened to the Inquisitor's hand? I mean I know it's physically gone, but where to?

[SwiftMustache]

okay.. Seriously. What happened to the Inquisitor's hand? I mean I know it's physically gone, but where to?

I'd bet on Xenon the antiquarian buying it actually. He even ask for it inside the emporium.

 

I can already hear him from DA4;

 

-Oh that? It's just the Inquisitor's hand of course! 

[Call Me Jord]

Does anyone have an Epilogue Tile with a Romanced Cassandra? Do they live together or what?!

 

I'm absolutely adoring this tile of Josephine hugging her father for allowing the Inquisitor to stay with the woman he loves, I'm now in a state where I could cry with joy or just cry internally with joy. It will be my desktop background for a very long time.

 

I wonder who drew these Epilogue tiles? They're quite beautiful, so next run through of the DLC, I'm going to have to remember to print screenshot every one, and not just the romance one

 

I don't think I'll be able to make choices that I myself would make in future playthroughs. If my current results are any indication, future results may be a bit to soul crushing for me.

[Akkos]

okay.. Seriously. What happened to the Inquisitor's hand? I mean I know it's physically gone, but where to?

 

Inquisitor's hand was petrified, left with no glow, cutting-off and left behind in the crossroads. I guess.
