Other returning faces to the series were Leliana who was a party member in Dragon Age: Origins, Cullen who has appeared in all three games in the series first beginning as a Templar in Origins, rising up the ranks in Dragon Age II, and is now a Knight-Captain in Inquisition. I wasn’t really keen on Solas until I learned he was voiced by Gareth David-Lloyd aka Ianto from Torchwood. It felt great to see Varric again after his stellar debut in Dragon Age II. Whatever happened at the Conclave imbued the player with the ability to close rifts.
Solas grabs your wrist and you discover why your hand is constantly glowing whenever there’s a rift nearby. One is an apostate mage named Solas while the other is fan favorite Varric Tethras with his unique crossbow Bianca at his side. When you and Seeker Pentaghast journey to a rift where two allies are fighting demons and you come to their rescue. The first thing you notice when you are freed from imprisonment and taken outside is a giant tear in the sky. With me wanting to say the right/thing and be a good person I initially set out as a reluctant hero. You then awake as the character you create and encounter Cassandra Pentaghast who was in the previous Dragon Age game in what seemingly was some time after the events of DA II as she has Varric tell the story of Hawke: The Champion of Kirkwall.Īt this point in the game you are believed to be the one who destroyed the Conclave and all that were in it. The player character is seen running away from spider-like creatures in what could only be the Fade: a realm where the Old Gods slumber. He too can’t be interacted with, but he shouts some things at you.As soon as you hit the option to start a new game there is a massive explosion. If I am remembering this correctly he’s in the last bit of water before you enter the temple. Allow the Wardens to join the Inquisition after securing Adamant.Ĭullen is near the very end.
