My favorite thing about inquisition (which I did not realize at first), was the way the game left the possibility of the maker actually existing open without confirming it. He never like appears before you and sends you on a quest, but the game has some debatable “miracles” in it, like when we see the spirit of the leader of the chantry who helps us against the nightmare demon, or the inquisitor getting the mark in the first place, or assembling/finding our team, or corypheus’s eventual defeat. It is possible and consistent with the story that you are the chosen of the maker (but maybe not).
I’ve always thought of the dragon age games as an extended meditation on heroism. No game teases the question “who are you when you have power?” Quite like inquisition. It falls short sometimes, but your video talks about the exact reasons why I love this game! Subscribed for sure!
It's the fact that everyone finds their own joy and meaning in each game that makes them so great. I have always perceived DAI as a game about faith, about the power it gives people literally and figuratively, and what catastrophic consequences it can lead to. This game is about faith that gives hope and purpose, about faith that blinds and deafens, about faith that destroys states, be it Maker, Andraste or elven Creators. This game got me into heated debates with my husband about faith and purpose, even though I'm an atheist. Also, I have never felt such a kinship with the protagonist as in the Inquisition. I literally became my Inquisitor, what an amazing experience. I think haters always have something to complain about in every game, but I don't let it take away the joy of playing it. This applies to the new game too. you can find joy in anything as long as you look for joy and not hate. it was really interesting to see a different perspective, it made me think about the game again, and if something makes you think, it's something good. Thank you very much!
First of all, thank you so much for your comment! You bring up a really interesting perspective, and it definitely got me thinking :) I also completely agree with your last point-if someone enjoys something you don’t, there's nothing worse than trying to ruin it for them, especially when it comes to video games, which are meant to make us happy. Thanks again!
One of the hardest choices on Inquisition for me was deciding who stayed behind and the fate of the wardens. I wish we could see the hero of ferelden also. Mine is still alive in inquisition and seeing them and Alistair would bring me such joy. There is so many choices I would like to see. 😅 Like how is Iron Bull feeling with the whole aantam thing. Talking to Cassandra about Varric accident. Talking to Leliana about how things were. Ugh, I'm sad, I miss those characters so much
I've never gotten in early on a channel that I felt was going to really blow up before. You make some really interesting insights and have great sense of humor to boot!
This was such a well thought out and well put together video and analysis of inquisition, and you take a very different angle than most people do when looking at this game. I love it!

Yeah, that’s very interesting, and really applicable to our reality :) Thank you so much for your comment!

Hey! thank you very much for your comment :) It really makes me want to make more videos hahahha Hope you have a great day!
Dragon Age: Inquisition is my favorite game that I never finished. Maybe this time...
hahahha best of luck!

Really, thank you so much :')
Thank you for capturing the exact reason why I love this game so much. And also why I love Pathfinder: WotR.
Thanks for your comment! Hopefully, I'll make a video on WotR someday too... that one’s definitely going to be a long one haha
A lovely video essay! Time to subscribe! :)
Thanks a ton for your comment and for hitting that subscribe button! :)
Maaan, that was a good video. Will be back!
Thanks so much! Hope to see you around for the next video (no idea when that'll be, but it'll happen haha)
Neat
meh
A return to form in terms of DAO, DAii is and always will be garbage like veilguard. Maybe greatness skips a generation in dragon age
My dad says the same thing about me and my brother haahah thanks for your comment!
Yes 2 is a disappointment but i wouldnt compare it to Veilguard thats an insult i wouldnt wish upon my worst enemy
