I made this video some months ago analyzing the story of Dragon Age: Inquisition and how it serves as an attempt to deconstruct the hero myth while also commenting on the inevitable decay of large scale institutions. I figured I might as well make a link here if people were curious in checking it out. I initially made the video because I was tired of hearing how DAI plot was "cliche,'" as to do so would miss the entire point of the narrative. I should also note that just because the game attempted to espouse these themes doesn't exactly mean it succeeded in executing on all of them.

I don't think Cory really needed to be complex, I understood his motivations and everything we need to know about him, was summed up in one sentence. "Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the Throne of the Gods, and it was empty!" On a side note, Cory wasn't really the antagonist to begin with, he was merely a side effect of the actual antagonist. Otherwise I loved the video, Some people really don't appreciate what Bioware did here. DAI is my favorite DA game for many reasons, this is one of them.

I don't see Solas as Inquisition's antagonist. That was Corypheus, IMHO. Solas and his motivations were introduced in DAI, but we never got to fight him in any way.

Solas can't really be said to be DAI's true antagonist because Corypheus existed independently of Solas' machinations; he would have made a play for absolute power eventually, with or without the orb. Also, Corypheus' victory would utterly destroy Solas.
