Re: OP

The first and second games are extremely critical of the majority religion and all its crimes (including genocide), I really recommend them. The second game in particular violently pits major belief systems against each other and shows all the harm to the common people caught in between, including your own party. It's grim, but it's definitely not "all hail the one true ideology, leave your critical thinking at the door". Possibly because in the first two games, you aren't an exalted figurehead of a massive military/religious organization, you're just some random who's hard to kill. Third game drew focus away from the common perspective and towards an elevated one where it was much harder to lambaste assholes with too much power over the many when you are that asshole with too much power over the many.

And then turns things around and has you lambasted for being that asshole, which was kind of cool.

Like, the game knows that the Inquisition is a dangerous organization that could be very easily turned into a tool of oppression. It points that out repeatedly, in both blatant and subtle ways.

Re: OP

I really liked that it got to that point, though it still felt like the narrative tone leaned way too hard in favor of the Inquisition even when that happened. Like when portraying a favored character from previous games as a shrewish, ungrateful tool instead of a sympathetic voice of reason rightfully concerned for his nation's autonomy. That was weirdly unnecessary.

I swear, it felt like they wrote his part for Isolde, and whoever was doing editorial realized too late that she was probably dead in a huge chunk of games, so they had to quick-sub someone else without enough time to go back and rewrite.

Re: OP

I actually wouldn't be surprised, it would have fit better and been hysterical instead of horrifying to see Isolde aged so ungracefully.

Oh my god, thank you, it was SO FUCKING WEIRD how Bann Teagan turned out in Inquisition. Like... the fuck? The actual fuck?
