You can turn two mages tranquil (one of tthem being his biggest fear and completely and utterly shit his pants) make several people indentured servants and myriad of other stuff. My Inquisitor was not a goody two shoe, she was pragamtic and certain companions like Blackwall hate her.

Choices really didn't feel important to me as with a lot of choices the same outcome would happen or the outcomes would be so similar they would make little difference, or regardless of choice you still had to do the same steps.  The combat just killed Origins for me honestly though, it just took forever to finish even trivial fights and the bugs kept forcing me to restart a section for several reasons: like when dropping out of the combat the tank will run off and start fighting another group of monsters no where near the party, or the mage constantly rubber banding to the player character regardless of the AI scripts in place, or combat not ending at all because of an enemy on the other side of a wall that you can't get to.  The combat really killed the game for me, that's probably why I never got invested in the choices in the game to begin with.

I don't remember any of that, but I haven't played it in nearly a year, my fault on not remembering that stuff. I wonder if some of it was war table related and I had just missed it?

Trials as a mage only for the tranquil parts, certain quest could end with you making the guilty (like that woman in that snowy area in Orlais) a servant to you and you can finish Blackwalls quest where he is property to the Inquisition (he may never leave it and he will stay with it till he dies)

There's also how I had to put Gaspard on the throne that can be very questionable.  I agree with oyu 99% oft he side quest where bad, butt he rare ones that where good and the main quests had great choices and how I built my quizy.

There is also war table ones where you can be very crafty.

I remember the box.... oh yes....... the box.

If the Epilogue DLC isn't horrendously overpriced or goes on sale, I'll buy it and go through Inquisition again. I only beat it once, nearly twice, but a friend wanted to borrow it and my will to play through just kind of fizzled out by the time I got it back. I remember the woman from Emprise Du Lions (I always called it Du Loins, cause why not), but none of the other stuff save for Gaspard. I don't think I ever beat Blackwall's companion quest, but I may have.

Trials for me were basically... "Who are you again?" "Oooohhhh now I remember." and five minutes later I'd forget. It would've been better if there were some consequence for your actions such as making a mage tranquil would start some protests from pro-mage factions.

That sacrifice decision made me sit back and go... "What... WHAT?! Fuck!"

They should've had each region have their own "main quest" type of quest beyond "Go here. Kill everything. Good job."

I mean more interactive quests of a similar quality to a companion or one of the main quests. Completing those 'important missions' in the maps felt like cleaning duty than anything else.

Which is not what I wanted, if DA needs to be like any other game, it should be TW3 in terms of quest design, world design, sound design, animations and C&C.
