Back in Thedas: Returning to Dragon Age Inquisition

Ok, ok, I’m back. It’s been a wild couple of months, but I’m finally ready to continue my playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Last time, I left off with Solas as my companion, which—without giving spoilers—was definitely a surprise, considering I played Veilguard first. That’s just what happens when you experience a series in reverse order, I guess!

Anyway, let’s get started and see where this adventure takes me next.

And lets just take a moment to admire how awesome my helmet is. *rolls eyes*

A Fresh Look at the Graphics

You know, for a game that came out over ten years ago, Inquisition’s graphics actually hold up pretty damn well. Now that I’ve taken a short break, I can appreciate them more without constantly comparing them to Veilguard. In fact, I don’t even remember Veilguard’s visuals as clearly anymore, so the gap between them doesn’t feel as big in my head.

Time to End… Something?

Apparently, now’s my chance to end something. Wish I could remember what I signed up for. But hey, time to do it anyway.

Oh, we’re closing a rift. Solas says it’s the first rift. Interesting.

Then I hear a deep-ass voice coming from nowhere. Who’s getting sacrificed? It better not be me.

This game really needs a photo mode so I don’t have to keep Gyazo-ing everything. Seriously, how do we not have one?

And speaking of things I finally understand—red lyrium. I was screaming for answers about this back in Veilguard, and now I know. Took long enough.

Oh, and now I’m glowing.

And my voice just came from the rift??? What kind of weird black magic voodoo shit is this?

Then someone says “Run while you can.”

HUH????

Then I hear “SLAY THE ELF!”

WAIT. WHAT. WHO. WHY.

Demon Time

Solas says the rift is not sealed, just closed, and if we try to seal it, we’re going to have to fight some demons.

Bitch, that’s what I was born to do. LET ME AT ‘EM.

Oh.

That’s a big one.

This is my first real big fight in Inquisition, and… it’s okay. A bit of a rinse-and-repeat fight. Burn it down with damage, disrupt the rift, do it all over again. Not bad, just nothing wild.

But hey, we killed it.

Good job, everyone.

Waking Up and Walking Through Haven

Now I’m waking up in some elf’s house, and she’s begging for my forgiveness.

Okay.

Turns out I’m back in Haven, and everyone’s saying I saved them.

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I DID.

Ooooh loot.

Oooooh new armor.

FUCK YEAH.

Now everyone’s talking about me as I walk through the streets. It’s kinda weird, not gonna lie. But also, Haven is kind of beautiful.

Bad Bitch Cassandra and the Inquisition’s Return

Oh, yelling. Love that.

Inside the Chantry, someone is screaming about taking me to trial. But Cassandra says NO.

Then the same idiot suggests chaining me up, good fucking luck with that but Cassandra says NO again.

I like her.

Oh, and my new armour looks SO FUCKING COOL.

Then Cassandra snaps. The Chancellor backs down, the Inquisition is reborn, and we’re ready to go.

And Just Like That, I’m Hooked

Up until now, I was struggling to really get into Inquisition. I think that’s why I wasn’t in a hurry to pick it back up after two months.

But now?

Now I’m all in.

Now I need to see how this all turns out.

LET’S FUCKING GO.
