I tried asking Patrick Weekes on Twitter, but didn't get a reply. And considering that the next game won't have anything to do with southern Thedas, we most likely won't hear anything about the Warden's success or failure.

The bigger plot hole is the fact that he can possess the body of Grey Wardens. Archdemons can't do this (that's why the sacrifice works), so why can he? Well, there's a simple answer to that - Corypheus is NOT an Archdemon. Don't you have any Solas sugarcoating to be doing elsewhere?

You know, it's kinda weird that Sera talks about elves who shamed her for not being elfy.
The only ones she could've interacted with were city elves, and they're more like humans with pointed ears. They're unlikely to care about elfiness all that much, which is reinforced by the Vhenadahl codex:
"Mostly the old ways are gone. Each generation forgets a little more of the old tongue, a little more of the traditions. And the few things we keep become simple habits, the meaning long since faded.
So it is with the vhenadahl, the tree of the people. Every alienage has one, I'm told. Or they used to. When I was a little girl, my mother told me the tree was a symbol of Arlathan, but not even she knew more. Keeping the vhenadahl is just a habit, now. Many cities have let theirs wither and die, then chopped them up for firewood. No great loss."

Inquisitor: What is the word out there? Skyhold bartender: Some people are complaining that you have the time to be bedding your allies. But I don't judge. Much. ![:lol:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/qUctXNjCPgwPaLsZeKry.png)

If the Inquisitor asks Josephine if she and Leliana are more than friends, she absolutely denies it.
But if you ask Leliana, she implies they had sex. So... what is the truth?

For me the biggest plot hole was the whole red lyrium dragon idea being connected to his ability to body hop. Now it is never made clear exactly when he split his soul with the dragon. Was it back in ancient times? In which case why no mention of the dragon on the Grey Warden records of that time? You see if he only joined with the dragon after his awakening then clearly he was able to body hop before then. It didn't interfere with his ability to body hop once split with the dragon as he did so in front of our eyes in the Arbor Wilds. Then when his dragon is killed his essence returns to him, which you clearly see. However, in fact we don't actually kill him. Instead we throw him into the Fade where it is assumed he perished through his own self doubt and loss of certainty (this explanation being given in WoT2 as a reason why no trace of him could be found in the Fade subsequently). Thus, although killing his dragon certainly helped demoralising him, it wasn't the reason we were told we needed to kill it. Nowhere was it suggested to us that destroying his self belief and chucking him into the Fade was the way he could be permanently killed. So why did the Inquisitor suddenly come up with the idea, particularly if they didn't drink from the Well? I think if there had been no dragon involved then it might have made sense to capture him at the Well of Sorrows but the dragon clearly complicated matters and would have attempted to free him wherever we took him thereafter. So from that perspective, retreating until we had worked out how to deal with his dragon did make sense. I think it is actually pretty simple. Corypheus can only hop into the body of tainted creatures, so the dragon usually is his only option. The bigger plot hole is the fact that he can possess the body of Grey Wardens. Archdemons can't do this (that's why the sacrifice works), so why can he?

Just finished the main story in the current run. Let me just say....that hug the Inquisitor gets from Cullen if romanced (when returning to Skyhold after Corypheus is defeated) is the most epic hug I've ever seen. The music that plays in that moment is amazing.
The whole romance is really satisfying. The sheer amount of dialogue and scenes makes it feel like the relationship is an integral part of the Inquisitor's daily life. Feels more real.
It was also nice to play an Inquisitor who gets along with Sera for the first time, lol. Not that I dislike her, but it takes a specific kind of Inquisitor to do that.

I'm a bit stuck in WPHW, agonizing over the Well of Sorrows choice. I even left my PS4 in rest mode at the exact moment when you're supposed to decide.
My character is generally wary of magic, though not as much as she used to be due to Solas' influence.
On the other, she doesn't believe in elven gods, so the price doesn't sound as scary as it should.

The Inquisitor does this at the end of WPHW and it's just so, so dumb. The circumstances when you finally fight him during "Doom upon all the world" aren't any easier, so what is the difference?
In fact, the conversation at the war table before heading to the Arbor Wilds sounded like the idea was to finish him off there. Like it was the perfect time and place. Then Corypheus shows up after you have already defeated Samson/Calpernia and taken the Well of Sorrows, with no army to back him up because they're busy fighting the Inquisition.
And what do you do? "Oh no, it's Corypheus! Run! Run! RUUUUUUNNNN!!!!"
It's one of those moments when things happen for no logical reason other than plot convenience.

That is, what difference would its resources make? Solas completely outwitted Leliana and her spy network, which couldn't do so much as locating him. Let alone spying on him and his agents.
And what else is there? Uh... soldiers? This isn't a war like it was with Corypheus. The support of nobles? They can't really do anything. Money is always useful though, so there is that.

I think I uploaded her before but I can't be bothered to check - so here's Katrija, my first and (until now) only Inquisitor: ![](https://i.imgur.com/k4AAwh6.jpg) Human or dwarf?

When my Inquisitor sentenced Florianne to do manual labor, Solas disapproved. I have no idea shy.

Josephine is so very nobley that I find it a bit hard to believe she would fall for a Inquisitor of humble origins.
I mean, it's technically possible, but that's just game mechanics.

Canon Inquisitor. I'm afraid she'll have to wait for a couple years until Bioware lets her go after Solas. ![](https://i.imgur.com/XVBSDVd.jpg?1)

My biggest surprise when I dabbled in Zevran's romance was that he is a top and not a bottom. I guess I expected the latter because of how elves look.

As a Spirit of Compassion, it's not clear how long Cole has existed, but he's been in his present form for at least a few decades according to Asunder. Details are frustratingly vague, but it's at least long enough ago for him have become known as the fabled Ghost of the White Spire, but not so long ago that the Templar responsible for the real Cole's death hadn't died of old age when Cole encountered him again. Solas' true age is similarly unknown, due to millennia in Uthenera and Elves being immortal prior to the creation of the Veil, but according to Patrick Weekes, he at least physically appears to be in his forties. Solas' age is a very relative thing, since he's spent most of his existence in Uthenera. Unconscious.

Also I just realised that Cole is yet another Spirit asking us to let him in. Does that make the Iron Bull a spirit?
