*** Hello guys, hope you are doing good!!***

The state of Val Royeaux had been observed, some low class people banded together and formed some sort of communist part with Sera as their leader. They figured that anybody with the name of Sir has to be a criminal and should deserve “justice”. Weather physical applied or financially.

The Templars’ allegiance had been changed and shifted from Val Royeaux, all over Thedas to be exact. All thanks to their leader, the Lord Chancellor.

Previous Episode link.

This episode was a bit tricky for me to make. My internet connection was out and so there 2 videos. The first episode is the intro to all the things that I would’ve done in the second one is carried forward.

I chatted with all the NPCs that I could find before moving on. These chats are what opens up new side mission, where we get to know more about them and their past lives.

First in line was Cullen, the Templar. He was recruited when he was a 13 year old boy. He humbly says that he had an easier life than those who were recruited when they were infants. He was also the model student. He again humbly responded by saying that he was not the most diligent as he too made mistakes along the way. I asked bout a life of Templars, their beliefs, and their current position in the “hole in the sky situation”. I did have the chance to ask him about his private life but I blew it😢. Next time for sure😤!!

The I meet Cassandra, the Tank. Turns out she was a Neverran royal, an upper class lady. She wasn’t close with my family and didn’t think much of her status. She shrugged and said that half of a state could claim to be a part of the neverran royal as they share the same blood. She asked me abouty past life, before all the "prophet of the maker" phase. If I would go back to the home, to freemarch. With the options presented I said that I hoped to go there once it all had ended.
• Then, I asked her about a potential relationship between her and the Herald of Andrasté. She denied it as swift as a black jack dealer takes the money of the guy who had lost.

I meet the Sniper: Varrick.

He was from the freemarch, same place as the Qunari, now Herald. I asked about his unique crossbow. He said that he won it in a competition. He battled with a woman Bianca who was a sore loser and she ran to the forest, nobody ever saw her after that. That is what the name of his crossbow was now. There was a story that he swore that he would never tell to anyone. Didn't want to pry into other's private life so I kept it there.
Newsflash: he was a writer and a good one at that. He claimed that he was not a good romantic writer as his ones always ended up in tragedies. His other novels were popular though.

Then, I met Solas the elf. He was a nice chap and had a good conversation.

Then I meet Sera, the country woman with loads of “friends” in society. The eyes and ears of her. They and she are the ones who decide who are the targets. She tried to explain how Red Jenny came into existence: Red is the Color of blood signifying the terror in the name and the Jenny part went over my head, and do the Herald’s. There was an option that said, "You are unfit for the inquisition". Was that a sign? I didn't want to say to that lady in her face that. Nor would j deny the help.
• I asked her about a potential relationship, was turned down, again.

This was when I seriously considered about taking a human Herald next time and then asking these women again.

I meet a woman by the inquisition crafting table. She was glad to be receiving the fresh fruits from the Smiths, the new agent acquired from Val Royeaux. I asked her how did she end up here and how would the crafting work.

Then I met one of the War table council woman: Liliana.

She was having one of those weakened times that we also have in our lives. She was broken about the fact that the Divine mother, her friend had died. "The maker did nothing to stop the murderers so did the maker really care about us", she said. She composed herself and said that these were her own battles. This was merely a moment of weakness.

I met another soldier who offered their help. They were also a type of mercenaries who claimed to be loyal to their deals and certainly to the Herald. I accepted the help. Why turn away the ones who only want to help.
My only fear: turning on one another later on.

The last place to chat before heading out: the War council room. After entering I met the ambassador woman who had knows the arrival of the Herald. She also had her people.

The leaders of the Inquisition were togather once again. Cullen, the ambassador, Liliana, and Vivienna used their influence to resolve a few matters addressed by the concerned people of Haven.

I considered about going to meet the Lord chancellor of the Templars with the support of some high profile figures so that the lord would pay them attention and heed to their request. The con of this deal: inability to deal with the Mages henceforth. I didn't want to lose this as Mages sound strong as they can cast spells, useful for closing the sky whereas the Templars would only hit the enemy on the ground.

So, I switched from Ferelden to Orlais. I went on to investigate the shards. Choosing the party members was a difficult one. I wanted to try new characters but also didn't want to let go of the stability in the party. The experience that all of them went through and me being more proficient in controlling them this far. A stability being established and all.

I chose Solas, Vivienne, Cassandra(always have a tank), and me The Herald. I kept Varrick out.

Maybe I'll change later as the game progresses if j see this combo to be a failure.

Enjoy the gameplay!
