Imagine Dorian constantly sitting at Josephine’s desk, so when new diplomats come to Skyhold, they are at first confused – “I thought Josephine was a woman?” – but he would assure them it was fine and give them a grand tour of Skyhold. “That man over there, yes Cullen Rutherford, he’s responsible for cleaning the stables. Ah! And that mad looking Antivan woman, well, let’s just say she’s my murderer.”

“The one thing I love about storms, about lightning, is that it’s never the same. That phrase you use – lightning never strikes in the same spot twice? It’s true! It forks and bends and cracks like a whip. But never in the same place no matter how hard you try to control it. There’s a lot of beauty in it, really. The way it can light up the night sky, the way it glistens purple and white, and especially the thunderous roar after it strikes. Helps to muffle the screaming. Can I show you?” -Nirah Lavellan
Isn’t she adorable? She is very suspicious of the Black Emporium, but that’s because I had to fix her makeup around fifteen times. Why is the character creation lighting so different from the actual game lighting?
This is what happens when you don’t use your shield!
(I’m sorry Cullen, I’m sure the day to day life of Templars is fascinating, but I got a bit distracted…)
So, I’ve been playing for about… 30 hours (? at least) so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on the game so far!
Loving the free roam so so much! Such a change from DA:2’s reused dungeons that I learnt by heart, but so much to explore I think my head is going to explode
I like the conversation wheel and the whole, actually able to have a varied personality like in origins, but I’m missing the scales for approval? Not sure if I’m missing it or it’s not there, but not knowing how much I’ve pissed someone off is so stressful!
Characters!!!
My inquisitor is a Dwarf Rogue named Merryn and she is a cutie. I’d already planned on romancing Iron Bull (height differences are the best!) But he is proving a tricky bugger to talk to!
Dorian! Oh I adore him. I was all set to be disappointed in him after all his hype on tumblr, but no. He is perfect and I wanna hug him and talk to him forever.
Solas was also a surprise. From his light Irish accent (his voice was not at all how I imagined it to be) to how easy it is for my ridiculously curious inquisitor to get his approval, he is the one who least matches up to my internet impressions! I’m looking forward to his romance play through (I’m gonna die aren’t I???)
This is getting a bit long so quickly: Cassandra! Ahhhh! Love! Josephine! Ahhhhh! Love! Sera! Ahhhhh! Love! Varric and Leliana, why do you break my heart so??? Blackwall, I will not fall for your Dwarf seducing tricks!!! Cole, you are adorable and confusing. Cullen… Why must you be so racist? My lovely Cadash is just as good as the human/elves! Ruuuuude. You gonna get it next play through :3
TLDR; loving dragon age Inquisition so far, especially Dorian and Solas my squishy little Mage babies!
IT’S HAPPENING!!!
I’m off to collect inquisition! Ahhhh!
I’M FINALLY GONNA PLAY IT!
ASVSJODNFFAUSNFKDKD SO EXCITE! MUCH WOOP!
