Trespasser was great; the lore of the Dragon Age series is getting very interesting.
I'm also excited for a game set in Tevinter. Just hope they've learned some lessons from Inquisition.
I just sincerely hope Bioware kicks their habit of hiding so much of the world's details behind overly-long codex entries. By the time I'd gotten maybe 2/3 into the story I just didn't care to read those massive text-dumps anymore.
Fuck, I stayed in as long as I did because I actually really enjoyed those. But yeah, they need to get a better handle on the scope of their shit.
A perfect storm of corruption by infiltration and being targeted by governments feeling threatened by a multinational military power.It's been a long while since I played dai and I didn't play trespassor, but can some one clue me in on why the Inquisition is failing? People were mentioning it a few posts up, but I'd love to get more details.

Stuff like that, if written well, should be easily conveyed via dialogue, even if it's optional or side-quest specific.
Can we talk about that music too?

What?! No. I don't recall Inquisition being text heavy, unless you never played any of the DA games and needed to acquaint yourself with the world's lore. I rarely needed to use the Codex because I knew most everything from the past games.
Wait, there was DA:I DLC?! D:

Because Orlais and Ferelden fear the power of the Inquisition and think that there is no more need for it, the breach was closed and the job was done, more importantly the organization got infiltrated by agents of other factions, spies of the qun and followers of fen harel, it almost lead to a new cathastrophe, so you have to choice if mantain the Inquisition in service of the divine, while maintaining the brute force but being more prone to corruption, or disolve the Inquisition but maintain the circle of trust, being less powerful but more secure.It's been a long while since I played dai and I didn't play trespassor, but can some one clue me in on why the Inquisition is failing?

Oh damn, Solas is my characters romantic interest. I wonder if you can join him or if you're forced to oppose him?

Sounds awesome, maybe, you know, they could have included it in the actual game?
I'd be surprised if there were another dragon age game honestly.
Why? Game sold great, won like 100+ goty, the only thing that it has against its development is that half of bioware is working in finishing MEA and the other half is working in the new ip. I guess the game is in pre-production, I would expect it for 2019 more or less.Sounds awesome, maybe, you know, they could have included it in the actual game?

Well, Inquisitor is missing a hand at the end of Trespasser. Are "working" artificial limbs a thing in the DA setting?
It's awesome if they don't do what I fear them doing which is brushing the Inquisitor completely under the bus because they don't want to have to deal with it.
I hope they allow you to play as the Inquis again and don't reboot you because after a point, resetting and saying "well what you did was kinda important but not enough" isn't okay anymore. I need some level of continuity beyond having Leli in it again.
The game finally being in Tevinter is gonna be amazing though.
But being an agent working directly for the Inquisitor is a good compromise for the character I think.I mean you don't need an artificial limb to play the game. You can work around that.
And in one of the endings you do get one so yeah.
But being an agent working directly for the Inquisitor is a good compromise for the character I think.
Also, it was so obvious that Hawke was originally planned to become the Inquisitor, and not only because Cassandra say so in the game, but because BioWare devs said that Hawke was the single most important person in the DA universe in the middle of the DA2 marketing campaign. DA2 failure changed a lot of plans.

Damn that makes me want to rebuy DA:I and get the DLC just to have this moment and hopefully see what happens in the next game.

I just want to be the Grey Warden again. Lol
Legit though, that scene with Solis if you romanced him is probably the best writing and voice direction of any Bioware game done to date.
Great scene, you can actually feel the pain in his voice as he pushes you away.
Ok, so are the other 2 dlcs as good as this one?
The thing about Solas is that you totally understand him as a villain and if you're an elf you might even agree with him. It's like imagine you fought in some global war in the not too distant future and while your side won you got knocked into a coma for a couple hundred years. Then when you wake up its Fallout/Mad Max, everyone is a savage, people barely know how to read, there are new mutant sentient creatures walking about, and no one remembers the "Golden Era" of human civilization. Then imagine you could return the world to what it once was but in doing so you had to destroy this current savage world along with these new mutant races. Would you do it?
To Solas living in Thedas at the moment is like a living hell when compared to where he and his people were. They were near immortal gods, now they are a ragged band of squalor clinging to legends they barely understand. He simply can't allow his people and world to be reduced to this.
But it's also made clear why he's the bad guy beyond wanting to blow up the world. There is a clear caste and inequity system inherent in ancient elvish society that's arguably even worse than the current global situation for elves. So it's an ideal of what is functionally a racially pure society.
Damn that makes me want to rebuy DA:I and get the DLC just to have this moment and hopefully see what happens in the next game.
Solas is a great villain.
Never, N E V E R release DLC that ends up being fundamental to the story. That's just bad in every possible way, specially almost one year later. This kind of stuff should always be for side stories, flashbacks, etc. Things to give you more context and understanding of some characters, world and so on.
As someone already pointed out, almost no one played The Trespasser. And it's pretty good.
