Sorry dont have a link yet first part update is about our skyhold base: On Skyhold, from PC Gamer:

"It’s detailed, cavernous, but more importantly, there’s more stuff you can do in Skyhold than on Commander Shepard’s ship. Past the tavern, stables, courtyard, kitchen, and dungeon (for imprisoning people, not slaying rats, I learn), I step to the War Table. Here, a dozen or so operation markers populate a world map: scouting missions, a task to gain the friendship of the dwarven kingdom of Orzammar or to recruit an arcanist. You complete these micro-quests entirely through the menu, and they grant modest benefits: gold, loot, resources, or adding more ‘agents’ who join the Inquisition. But some, like addressing the Chantry in Val Royeux, are tied to the main plot." More to follow. Star Metal Knight (talk) 18:25, July 31, 2014 (UTC) "... part of playing Inquisitor means decorating Skyhold manually: everything from the windows, throne, banner, and heraldry to the drapes can be swapped in a menu." ____

There's also a long section on how the Inquisition can "pass judgement" on certain people as a result of quests - the example they gave was dealing with a barbarian tribe after defeating their leader in battle. The judgement sequences come after some story events and offer the player a way to reflect on what just happened.

"Laidlaw underlines the value on getting players to look backward rather than simply anticipating the next quest. “Inquisition, moreso than many of our other games, takes a moment to just ask ‘how you feeling?’ and have characters dig into why you did what you did. And to try to understand the Inquisitor’s mind. And they’re some of my favourite moments in the game,” he says." _____

"Some operations, like this one, are instantly resolved, but others ask you to pick which of your three advisors – Josephine (political), Cullen (military), or Leliana (spying) – is the right fit for the job, making them temporarily unavailable. You can visit with all three of these support characters inside Skyhold.

Also nestled into the War Table (but separated from operations) are Inquisition perks, which draw on influence that you gain from exploring Thedas and completing quests. (If power is “Inquisition gold,” as Darrah puts it, influence is Inquisition XP, effectively.) There are four perk types: Forces, Secrets, Connections, and simply ‘Inquisition’, the first three of which are tied to the aforementioned advisors. A Forces perk might increase your potion capacity by four; a Secrets perk might increase the XP you earn from picking up codex entries; one Connections perk grants better merchant offers on rare items. Skyhold changes as a reflection of which perks you favour, although I wasn’t told how.""Star Metal Knight (talk) 18:30, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

Seize that town. Dam that river. Take that mine. Breed those dragons. Reinforce that regiment. Execute that prisoner. Aaaaand put blue curtains in the western hall... No wait! Make the curtains RED. >:) Believe it! (talk) 20:25, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

Too far indeed. Burn the throne and it's handlers! Commission a new throne to be made! Believe it! (talk) 23:42, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
Oh my goodness yes! There needs to be some dialogue like this in there somewhere! SenjiBen (talk) 09:34, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Believe it!, B.S.S.T...all of you...awesome *just imagining how some of the dialog will sound* Undeadpoet (talk) 23:11, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

after were done cutting off morrigan and Alistairs heads... mount them over the fire place....KISSING muhahahahah!Star Metal Knight (talk) 23:31, July 31, 2014 (UTC)

Build that throne out of Dragon Bone. Flog that moron. Make that prisoner stand outside in the cold naked. Throw a party. Make the banners black. Wash my armor. Cut my grass. Capture that tower. Destroy that Templar base. Lelianna make me a sandwich. I meant know offence with that last one it's just a joke lol.(Darion Cousland (talk) 12:48, August 1, 2014 (UTC))

DARION DONT BE SO DAMN RUDE!!!!...... Im hungry also have her make us all a samich hahahaStar Metal Knight (talk) 13:35, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Lelianna make us all sandwiches we want pickels. We want cheese. We want raost beef lol.(Darion Cousland (talk) 13:51, August 1, 2014 (UTC))

I don't really like roast beef, can I have ham? Ooh and can we have her do a little dance while she serves us? Maybe put her in a maid's outfit too while we're at it. I'm going too far yet? B.S.S.T. (talk) 14:03, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
No! Never demand that an Orlesian make a sandwich with cheese... They'll put one that tastes like despair, existential dread, soil-yourself-level terror, hatred, or the sudden discovery that your grandmother is racist on it. If you ask nicely, they might put GOOD cheese on it. :p MurderKnife-Small Jasin Moridin 02:40, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Yes Lelianna put ham on the sandwich of all those who don't like roast beef. Wear that maids outfit. Do that dance. When she gets done doing that she can rubb our backs. I might be the one who took it to far lol. I cant't wait to see what "Believe It!" will add to all this.(Darion Cousland (talk) 14:14, August 1, 2014 (UTC))

I add nothing... meaning I subtract the maid outfit and give her nothing to wear in return. Leliana, now that you're nude, make us new sandwiches. I refuse to eat a sandwich made by a clothed Leliana. That's the Inquisitor code. As for these non-nude sandwiches, take them to the outer wall where the poor beggars are. Have them fight each other to the death over the non-nude sandwiches. If there is only one poor peasant today, have him fight himself to the death for them. The Inquisition has spoken! Believe it! (talk) 17:22, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Cool -- Signed Deco

Leliana disapproves Disapproves (-100) :P Abélath (talk) 21:35, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Leliana when you finish that cook dinner for the whole keep. I want steak what would you guys like?(Darion Cousland (talk) 21:00, August 2, 2014 (UTC))

I'll take a roasted ham, but Leliana has to kill the pig and roast it over a fire herself. Also she should entertain the keep with an exotic dance from Rivain whilst we eat. And as per Believe It's demand, she shall do all this in the nude. Any objections? Anything to add? B.S.S.T. (talk) 21:30, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Yes she most also make the wine that we are to drink and if she does it wrong she must start over.(Darion Cousland (talk) 21:43, August 2, 2014 (UTC))

Spam>Thoughtful Gift to Leliana. Also, when supper is done, Josephine is to sit on B.S.S.T.'s lap and whisper "Scribbles" in his ear multiple times for everyone's sick amusement, and his. Believe it! (talk) 01:35, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3Y7d0xNHjg (1:13-1:49)The way she enunciates on her syllables, Dear Maker that Euphoria incarnate! While Josephine does that, Leliana is to give Believe It a lap dance while singing to him. We should probably stop this train of thought... no one's going to, huh? B.S.S.T. (talk) 02:45, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Well this thread got interesting very quickly. Friendlysociopath (talk) 14:43, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Would you like to add anything? There are no holds barred. B.S.S.T. (talk) 15:01, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Ahem: "Vivienne, boil that water for the civilians. Sera, collect that fungus and build a garden for it, it's an anti-infectant called 'penicillin,' no idea where it came from but it works. Bull, train the warriors, with real weights, not that trendy Crossfit crap from Antiva. Solas, see if you can get some Fade spirits to do our eavesdropping fetch quests or appear to those people in dreams with the solution, or something, I'm not heading to Denerim to hand deliver a purchase agreement to Cumberland! Josephine, go visit our "friends" in Faircastle and bring a lute, they'll get the message. Cole, if they don't, kill them before the night is out. Cullen, go... patrol the battlements I guess. Never really been sure what to do with you. Varric, distribute our anti-Gaspard propaganda to the neighboring villages, and make sure the herald doesn't leave out the accusations of cannibalism this time! Leliana, go get the world back, and your eye color. Because this is serious business, not a time for jokes." Cassandra approves Approves (+10) and leaves. *Looks around "Alright, they're all gone. Blackwall, Dorian, drinking contest now!" RShepard227 (talk) 15:37, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Alright Alistar, time for the secret weapon- prepare the dress, ACTIVATE THE REMIGOLD! Friendlysociopath (talk) 16:38, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

When your done with the lapdance Leliana give Believe It a sponge bath. Josephine read B.S.S.T. a bed time story. Vivienne wash the dishes. Cullen go send your men to kill something, and no I don't mean all the Apostates. Varric and Sera include claims of Gaspard being an arch demon in carnet in the propaganda. Black Wall see if you can beat Iron Bull in a new drinking contest. Solas and Dorian what did I tell you about magic dules in the keep? Cole stop scaring people. Cassandra time to cuddle! For the glory of the Inqusition! In retrospect this is begging to look more like a day care program lol.(Darion Cousland (talk) 21:41, August 3, 2014 (UTC))

It'd be the strangest Daycare program I've heard of/seen/participated in/etc.--Jcama (talk) 03:06, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
LOL! Maybe he meant old folks' care. (Old man voice) The wuter is culd dammit! I need da blue pill! :p
On a less disturbing note; what are the chances that we will have to choose which country leader(s) to save from assassination? If so... everyone, save Anora... unless she's been made ugly too, then... I don't know, flip a copper? Believe it! (talk) 04:24, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
Save her? I'd send assassins myself, given the option. 67.61.238.87 (talk) 16:28, August 4, 2014 (UTC)

What do you think Beleive It! should I order my forces to destroy all people deemed ugly or should I leave it to you? My glorious forces can do it or your glorious forces can. We must purge the land. This uglyization must not be allowed to continue. I hope I did not go too far.(Darion Cousland (talk) 14:24, August 4, 2014 (UTC))

The word you're looking for is "fabulous", you should order your fabulous forces to take on the ugly people. ~Friendlysociopath
