BEWARE!!! SPOILERS FOR ALL THE GAMES BELOW!!! Today I have finally finished Dragon Age Inquisition for the very first time and I have mixed feelings about. Not about the awfully repetitive and boring side quests, the locations, that are too big for my taste or the story, that has been more than decent. It is about the lore and the direction this series is going. I think they are doing too much with the lore and the whole "the history you knew your entire life is a lie" thing. In Origins and II. the stories were quite simple and mysterious. You had several religions : the most known Maker, the mysterious Elven Pantheon, the evil Old Gods of the Tevinter Imperium, the quite confusing Stone etc. The history was rich with the elven enslavement and the fall of Arlathan which was the doing of the Tevinter, the great eluvians, which were a mystery to everyone, the almost unknown Fade a the Black City... I could go on for a few more lines, but the point is, that the world had this aspect of mystery that nothing was for certain. All of that changed with Inquisition. The whole Evanuris turned out to be a bunch of very powerful mages that the elves worshipped as gods, the world and the Fade used to be one (which I just can't comprehend) and a very powerful mage managed to separate the tho world with the help of the Veil. That means the Maker didn't really create the Fade and then the real world. So that might be a clue that the Maker might not even be real. There's a lot of other things, that twisted the lore (like the fact, that Tevinter didn't destroy the Elven Kingdom) but I don't have the time to write all of it. I just think tha Inquisition has taken A LOT of the mystery from the lore and the world and let's be honest, the mystery was one of the greatest aspects of the game. I'm just a little worried that DA 4 is going to take it a level higher and the lore and the world will be completely broken for me. But that is just my opinion anyway...
