As many know I really liked Dragon Age Inquisition. But I would be the first to admit that Dragon Age Inquisition had its flaws. And some of them quite serious which, if fixed, would have made the game far better then it already was, even for me. The goal here, for me, is to make the fewest smallest changes while reaping the greatest benefit. And the biggest flaw to me in the game was perhaps the one that would have been the easiest to fix. The integration between the gameplay world and the story world. Because Dragon Age Inquisition was almost a story of two games. One a very well executed, tight, character driven, cinematic driven story and character game, and the other full of meningless fetch quests and random pitter pattering about. Well, here are my changes.
Exalted Plains:
Make the plains tie into the Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts storyline. IE if you do some of the quests you can have the option of picking up additional influence at the ball for your efforts. This includes the lay rest to all the ramparts, all the way through rescuing those soldiers. And the quest Left to Grieve could also come into play, for when you do it, I suggest you running intot he sergeant who thanks you and pledges her support to your cause.
The Western Approach:
If you take Griffon Wing Keep it should effect your siege on Adamant. I always take the Keep first anyways, the idea being to give you a Keep to launch your attack on Adamant from. This could effect the keeping your soldiers alive portion of Here Lies the Abyss. If you take Servis and keep him alive then he could be used as further evidence of Tevinter corruption and you could use him to convince the Wardens that Erimond is a threat.
Crestwood
Actually make the taking of the Keep a vital part o the quest line for Here Lies the Abyss. Draining the water to give the Warden and the Inquisitor (and Hawke) a place to meet.
Hinterlands
Actually have the events and how you treat the people of the Hinterlands be a indicator of your morality. The Envy demon and Ser Berras could both reference it on the type of person you are. And Ser Berras, being a descent sort himself, could feel more or less comfortable with you based on your actions in the Hinterlands.
Emprise Du Lion
Make one of the things Imshael can offer you is information on what Corypheus is doing in the Arbor Wilds. -OR- offer information on Calpernia's weakness. Obviously you can use this information or not how you see fit but this could have rather interesting dialog options with Morrigan, for instance.
