It's mostly a joke in the fandom these days but there is no doubt that the Hinterlands is a MASSIVE region and once we establish that the Inquisition needs the so-called "herald of andraste" to give them legitimacy, we are off to the Hinterlands to meet with a Chantry Cleric who believes in the Inquisition's capacity to help and has advice on how to handle Chantry naysayers who would rather see the "herald" sentenced for their potential involvement in the death of Divine Justinia. Lots to process. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Dan Bull for the Dragon Age: Inquisition Rap, which we use as our theme music.

We're onto a new game, friends. Dragon Age Inquisition takes place a few years after the events of DA2 as we are given to understand them and opens dramatically with a new character dealing with the fallout of an event that they can't remember. Matt and I take on the role of a prisoner and must prove that we aren't the threat everyone believes us to be. We make some new friends along the way who do not assume we're the villain and by the time we create our save file, we've managed to convince everyone that we're more than just a victim of circumstance–whether we believe that or not.

Joining us for this final quest is all around BioWare Awareness Counselor, Kenneth Shepard! The tensions in Kirkwall have come to a head. The Champion is called to step in, but it is too late. Meredith and Orsino stand on the steps of the Chantry, one determined to call on Elthina for fairness and compromise, the other refusing to see how out of hand her hatred has gotten. There is no more time for compromise as the chantry erupts in beams of violent, red light, destroying the building and killing anyone inside. It's time to choose. The templars or the mages? Who does Hawke support? In the end, does it really matter?
