The Director

Okay, firstly, the quest you're mentioning in Dragon Age Inquisition you're way off. The quest is called Shallow Breaths and was actually that the guys kid had joined the cult, which believed that the Maker had forsaken the world and were attempting to regain his favor with praise or somesuch, and the guy's wife was having a relapse with her breathing disorder. What he asked you to do was to find him and get the potion he used to make for his mother. When you finally track the kid down he explains that he didn't think it would be a problem because his mother had not had that issue in a very long time. He then gives you not only the potion and the recipe for it. You then give the potion to his father SO HIS WIFE DOESN'T DIE. And that's just one quest. There were dozens of side quests that were very detailed and had back stories to them. I can think of two that were very similar to quests in Dragon Age: Origins. The Ballad of Lord Woolsley and The Mercenary Fortress/Deep Trouble. In The Ballad of Lord Woolsley a man in Redcliffe asks you to find his ram. Pretty easy to do because it's very, very differently colored from other rams. Also, he says that the Ram has given his family advice for generations. It sounds like he's crazy, but then you go find the ram. Now, the game doesn't tell you this, but you actually have two options here. You can just walk near the ram and tell it to go home and it does. Or, you can attack the ram. If you attack the ram, it transforms into a Rage Demon. After killing Lord Woolsley, the quest ends saying the owner 'must never know'. This is an example of a quest with a very subtle extra story that made Dragon Age Origins a classic. The Mercenary Fortress/Deep Trouble are two separate quests that are literally tied together. You wander along the road and a scout tells you to watch out for some very odd bandits. You fight your way through them and find orders from their boss and go to their 'fortress'. You find out along the way that the bandits were actually mercenaries hired by a Dwarven Carta to keep refugees and your own forces away from their Red Lyrium mining operation. Thus begins Deep Trouble, where you find some old Dwarven Ruins and a nice little Carta that you have to fight through. You find out that they've been monitoring you as well as mining red lyrium all over the place. You also have your (potentially) first encounter with the darkspawn in the game, and a vault full of goodies. Seriously, there are dozens of quests as good if not better than these two, but the thing is you have to actually EXPLORE THE WORLD to find them. Just like in Dragon Age Origins, they don't throw themselves at you. YOU DO NOT SEE THE DEPTH OF THE GAME IF YOU STAY IN THE KIDDIE POOL PART OF THE GAME.

So you literally just told everyone you're the detective? Y u so dumb? Anyways, BATMAN

tl;dr prepare for a wall of text the likes of which you've never seen

Dragon Age: Inquisition A Review By The Director Before I begin with DA:I I am going to give you my opinions of other releases in the Dragon Age series. I greatly enjoyed Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Awakening. Origins played amazingly and had an interesting and in-depth story that gripped a player to the very end. It also had a massive amount of replay value, as nearly every choice you made changed the outcome of the story in one way or another. Dragon Age Awakening is to this day still considered the best DLC of all time by many who've played it. Then came Dragon Age 2, which was highly anticipated but fell short of expectations. To me it felt like a very, very limited version of Dragon Age Awakening even though it was supposed to be a full sequel. So I was understandably trepidatious about Dragon Age: Inquisition when it was first announced. So all that said, let's get to the review! Dragon Age: Inquisition was awesome. The main storyline is interesting and intricate, offering players a plethora of choices that effect the ending of the game. Some of the choices are obvious, but others are rather subtle and easy to miss how they effect the story. The side quests range from short and sweet to long and drawn out, and some even feel like main storyline quests. The primary storyline takes about 40+ hours to complete, but trying for 100% quest completion will easily make it past the 100 hour mark. The replay value of this game is great as well, for the same reasons that Origin's was great. Multiple character species, different storylines, etc. It also has a multiplayer, and it's better than you'd think it was. The multiplayer gets a little bland, but the unlocks and such keep it entertaining. The only detractors I can think of is that you get locked into some choices that are messed up and there's no way to prevent them from happening, the storyline is a bit predictable at a certain point, and there are blatant political statements left and right. Looking past those is really easy though. Overall, I would have to say that Dragon Age: Inquisition is what I was personally expecting out of Dragon Age 2. It feels like a more 'grown up' Dragon Age: Origins. Better late than never. Rating: 9/10 Hopes for the Future: I would like to see some awesome DLC for this game. I hope they spend most of their time on DLC for the single player, but give a little bit of time to the multiplayer to keep it interesting for those who play it.

When I got Member of the Month probably. I had been putting a ton of time and effort into the forum in the months prior to it and it was great to get recognized for it.

I'll play. Truth.

I'm not even paying attention. I'm playing Dragon Age. I got on and figured I'd vote, and a bunch of people were voting for Sarge. So I voted for him too

I vote sarge. Bwahaha.

#suckitbuns2015

Erm... I used Gumshoe so my shot hits you on round 7 bro. Heads up. Please, it makes it easier to hit. #killBuns2015

You kind of suck at this game. I voted for Connor because Ledgend1221 was revealed to be neutral so killing him was pointless and everyone else was voting for Grif. I like to tick people off as well, so voting Connor was perfect for me. Grif had to vote for Connor because if he didn't he would have died, being mafia or not. Since Protown has plenty of ghosts now, dying at this point means no more playing. Delpen9 is confirmed to be mafia, so he obviously voted for Connor to get him killed hoping that he had a role. Or to do what we (the mafia) were doing last game and try to make Grif look mafian. As for Blake, idk. He might be mafian. Either way your analysis skills suck, your argument sucks, and you suck. #ggscrub4lyf

Smeeze.

Lol it does seem to be genetic, but it isn't necessarily hereditary. See, your genes compile themselves to favor certain sides of your body, and that doesn't necessarily have much to do with your parents. In other words, there are genes that control whether you are right handed or left handed, right brained or left brained, and even whether you have one ear/cheek/breast/leg/arm larger than the other, but these genes sometimes mutate in a way that doesn't happen with other members of your family. Scientists haven't pinpointed exactly which gene causes left and right handedness, but it's currently thought to be linked to the very same genes that cause asymmetry in the body. I'm the same way. Science is still trying to find whether there is something wrong with people who seem to be naturally nocturnal (i.e. whether it's natural or an actual disorder) and have begun to believe that it may just be that people who sleep during the day and are awake at night have different Circadian Rhythms than most. There are a ton of 'self help' things on how to stop being nocturnal, but I've tried everything and find that I'm better rested if I sleep during the day than if I sleep at night. I've been this way since I was just a child. This doesn't mean that I cannot sleep at night, as that is considered insomnia, it just means that when I go to sleep at 9 pm and wake up at 6 am I feel very groggy and feel as if I didn't sleep at all. The hours that I sleep that are best for me are usually from 7 am to 3 pm.

lol So does anyone have any guesses as to whom my next sniper target may be?

I don't wear flip-flops nor women's underwear nor tools used for gripping. No, you cannot ask other people questions in the Ask The Director thread. You can only ask me questions.

I switch my vote from Ledgend1221 to Connor Kenway

It would be stupid of them to target you, because then you'd just use your powers on yourself.

I didn't know Bnus was the medic, but sweet. Too bad now he's going to have to use his medic powers on himself every round or the mafia will kill him, which makes him useless. Well, I suppose I have to find a different target now. In the meantime I'm voting Ledgend1221.
