charamei:

tbh for me the single biggest problem Inquisition has from a narrative/gameplay intermesh standpoint is that it never actually answers the question “Why the fuck am I, personally, doing this”

The Inquisitor is the only person who can seal rifts. They have to be on the field a little bit. But why are they personally responsible for the entire Inquisition’s herb supply? Why do requisition officers keep trying to get them to bring back rock samples? Why are they personally doing all these sidequests? Don’t we have a humongous multinational organisation backing us? Shouldn’t there be people paid to pick the elfroot?

The single worst case of this is the Descent, or tbh any time the party goes near a darkspawn. “It’s too dangerous! Our men might get the Blight!” this is a very understandable caution right up until they all turn to you, the only irreplaceable person in the entire organisation, because apparently it’s okay to risk you getting the Blight

“It’s too dangerous, we might lose our men. Let’s risk the only person in the world who can close rifts instead!”

Surely you’re better off like… inventing the hazmat suit or something, guys

I’m sure the Inquisition has the resources to invent a hazmat suit, guys

Heck, I’d be shocked if Orzammar dwarves (and thus Dagna) haven’t already invented the hazmat suit, guys

Can you at least put the Inquisitor in a hazmat suit, guys
