Investigate the Western Approach is a war table scouting operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Acquisition[]
Acquired as part of the side quest Into the Approach which serves as an introduction to the Western Approach as a new questing area after relocating to Skyhold.
Operation text[]
Commander Cullen,
Scouts are reporting a number of travelers entering the Western Approach—surprising, since the place is a blighted desert with no trade routes. More surprising: no one is leaving. It bears investigating.
Commander Cullen,
Our scouts confirmed the Inquisitor's report: A large force of Grey Wardens has moved into the Western Approach. We need to establish a foothold out there immediately.
Knight-Captain Rylen

Result[]
Commander,
We’ve established a foothold in the Western Approach per orders. Already one skirmish with the Venatori, but no casualties. Requesting reinforcements. The term “blighted desert” doesn't do this place justice.
