"What better place to start a war...than a peace summit?" - Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011)

[Blackemperess]

"It is our last and perhaps, _only_ chance for peace."

*_KABOOM!!_*


"Damn it."

[primeyuri]

wow. They should have included this in the intro in the game.

[stevenmillett]

"The one element that binds us together and protects us is the guidance of the chantry."

lol

If you want to know more about these events leading up read Asunder and The Masked Empire! You see some familiar faces and new characters (Cole!) in them. They are both great books I highly recommend them for lore-a-holics.

This video should be in the game before the menu screen.

Played this for about 1.5 hours so far. So far, ive witnessed Cassandra declare the second Inquisition and her (and Leliana's) separation from the Chantry. Was a pivotal moment for the history books.

Wait so the Templar's can just say ''We're independent now, screw you'' like that but the mages can't even ask for it without getting killed. Yep still hate the Chantry and Templars (Wait till they see what I did to the ashes... :D)

Oh man i never get enough of Varric's voice. Perfect narration!

[HomemDasLetras]

Every time I think the hype can't get higher... You prove me wrong.

"It is our last... and perhaps only, chance for peace."
and then Anders blew that up too!

[Embri]

I  could not put the book Asunder down! Highly recommend reading it!! =D Also the Masked Empire is awesome as well!

4 days... 4 whole days T-T Time can't go fast enough

[DudeWithTheNose]

was this rendered incorrectly? It's like 15fps or something

[wwbwbgohbc]

damn, see, now I'm flip flopping again. I was going to go with my Warden/Morrigan world state because I want to know about them and their son, but now I really want to do Warden/Alistair because I want to see them and Alistair's real momma. ... And so much for Verric's vow to stay out of other people's wars lol

[belowroller]

Why the fuck is this not included at the beginning of the actual game? If you didn't watch this, the beginning leaves huge holes. Even if you played DA2, you wouldnt know about the conclave.

"It is the last, and perhaps our only chance for peace."

AND THEN THE BUILDING EXPLODED.

[pixielst]

God I love Bloom's narration so much.

[connorblakeley]

Mages are the bane of warriors, able to cut them down with weapons that armor isn't equipped to protect against, but then there are the Templars, warriors that can negate magic. It will be interesting to see who would win, though given what happened in Kirkwall even before the Champion intervenes, the mages were slaughtered in the confines of the Gallows. It will probably fall to the location of the conflicts.

Can't wait to save the world of Thedas as a elf mage... you know, really stick it to those Templar bastards!
