I had this place talked up to me, and I honestly think it's one of the worst minimal combat / narrative heavy chapter/location arcs I've seen in a major RPG. It has narrative arcs and choices locked off to literal random treasure hunting, for items that are aimlessly scattered around the map with zero sensibility, and is completely unconvincing as a social set piece.
I actually think I might be in a minority here, as most people I talk to seem to really like it. But man, fuck Orlesian palace. If anything that one arc to me highlighted BioWare's utter failure at making Inquisition an engrossing RPG (and I say this as someone who finished it, clearing out almost every map).
that quest was a total snoozer. worst of the main quests imo...no build up at all so i didn't care at all about the civil war and participating factions. the stuff with tevinter and the wardens was way more interesting and at least had some build-up and variety by having you go to different locations.
