DA Inquisition Musings, The Little Things You Think Of....

Why do all the Orlesians wear masks in Haven and Skyhold? This is not the Orlesian Court. I like to see the faces of people. My home, my rules.

Why do Orlesian Chevaliers wear masks in battle? Most impracticable. How do you know it is not one of the enemy posing as your leader? On same subject, according to Masked Empire soldiers in the palace should not be wearing masks. The rule is meant to be, palace soldier no mask but can carry a sword, anyone else wears a mask but can not carry a sword.

Actually, how come are we allowed to have our weapons in the palace grounds? We are guests attending a ball. If Celene thinks we are entitled to carry weapons then surely she acknowledges the threat to her life is genuine?

Why do we need Orlesian nobles to support us when we go to Therinfall? It is deep in Ferelden territory. Surely it would be more appropriate to have Ferelden nobility?  On similar subject, where are all the Ferelden nobility?   Conspicuous by their absence.   There are references to them on the War Table but hardly ever encountered in game.   We see castles in the background but they seem to be ignoring the plight of the Freeholders.    Suggest to the common people they give their allegiance elsewhere in the future.   

Why did Ser Barris simply stand there and let a defenceless cleric be punched in the face and raise no objection whatsoever? Military Order be damned, Templars are meant to be pious individuals to a fault. That seems to fly in the face of the teaching of their faith, when Templars are meant to be defending the weak and vulnerable.

Why did the monarch of Ferelden give title over Haven to an Orlesian noble?   This has to be a recent development since no one even knew Haven existed until ten years ago and in any case, it is still in Ferelden territory.
