You will receive the specialization quest when you first enter Skyhold. You will need to first complete the "Inquisitor Specializations" operation on the command headquarters table. Upon its completion, and no time is required to complete it, you will have three mentors in your fortress (according to the number of specializations that are available to each class). If you didn’t add a quest upon arrival at Skyhold and there is no command headquarters for the corresponding operation on the table, then you should visit some location and return back to Skyhold. Then you should talk to each mentor and take a task from him to learn a particular specialization. You can complete all three quests from each teacher, but you can finally choose only one specialization. You can get an idea about each of the specializations from a conversation with a mentor, as well as by looking at the skill tree of your party members, because each of them has its own specialization.

, was developed by the Canadian company BioWare. The publisher is Electronic Arts, the release took place on November 18, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One platforms. After the events of the first part of the world Thedas plunges into the abyss of internecine wars and political intrigues. In addition, unusual rifts open up in different parts of the world, allowing demons to enter Thedas. The protagonist receives a mark and after closing several faults in Temple of Sacred Ashes receives the leadership of the Inquisition to eradicate the resulting chaos. Skyhold
Fortress Skyhold becomes a new base for Inquisition, The Herald gains the status of Inquisitor for his merit. At this stage, a certain number of locations on the map will become available for the player to explore, however, there are several tasks in the fortress that require the attention of the main character.
Welcome to Skyhold
It is necessary to examine the fortress, the Herald must visit forge and talk with the blacksmith (you can customize the appearance of some elements of the fortress in the cave). Next, the main character should call military council.
forgotten boy
Bye main character dealt with problem solving Cole disappeared and is hiding in Skyhold territory. Near the target mark of the protagonist, a conversation with other members of the order awaits, Vivien again offers to get rid of the unusual companion (the player needs to make a decision). Solas speculates about Cole's nature, suggesting that the Inquisition is dealing with a spirit. 
In Skyhold, the Inquisition has established a new headquarters and is now ready to make itself known around the world. On the fortress wall, the Herald will meet with hawk, Defender of Kirkwall (the protagonist of the second part of the game). The protagonist can get some information about his opponent by finding a member of the order Gray Wardens(Exercise There lies the abyss).
After talking with Varric, the Inquisitor should talk to Josephine(You can find the NPC in the lobby, next to the command headquarters). The Ambassador asks to prevent a possible attack on the Empress Selina, the Herald will receive an invitation to the ball in order to personally meet with a possible victim and warn of the danger (Task Evil eyes and evil hearts).
Skyhold Prison has prisoners who are waiting for the verdict. We are located in the hall on the throne of the Inquisitor and begin to consider the proposed cases. For example, the first thing will be the crime of the leader of the Avvars Movran the Hungry who sprinkled the building of the Inquisition with goat's blood. However, the leader makes it clear about his arrogant attitude towards his son, who was killed by the Inquisitor. The decision to arm the Avvars and send them to Tevinter will allow obtaining the approval of several associates of the protagonist, and there will also be one more recruited agent in the Inquisition. 
Next, the Herald will have to pass judgment on the Knight Templar Denamu. In this case, it would be more appropriate to send the captain to trial in the order that he betrayed.
secret infatuation
Cassandra got carried away Varric's books"Swords and Shields", but the dwarf did not finish the last book. It is necessary to convince your colleague to complete the work for the sake of Cassandra. Varric will agree to finish the book, only on the condition that he personally hand it over as a token of reconciliation (the dwarf, in his time, hid Hawk's whereabouts when Cassandra was looking for him).
perseverance
Commander Kalen, being a Templar, like other representatives of this order, took lyrium. After Kalen joined the Inquisition, he stopped taking lyrium, which in turn led to "breaking". The main character will have to decide whether Kalen will continue to take lyrium.
Barris rise
After the death of the false Lord Seeker, the Templars were left without a commander. Barris very successfully carried out several operations, exercising leadership, the results allow us to conclude that a new leader has been found for the Order of the Templars. In the throne room, the Inquisitor can announce his decision (the task can be completed when the throne becomes active, for example, when the condemned appear).
Forced March: Vershile
Sera gives the protagonist another additional task, it is necessary for the forces of the Inquisition to make a forced march in the Versil area in order to intimidate the local nobility. After completing the corresponding task at the headquarters of the command, we talk with Serah and go to Crestwood. After a small fight, the task will be completed. 
Vow of Destruction
Cassandra asks to find the real Lord Seeker, we perform the corresponding task at the command headquarters. After receiving the report, we go to the new location "Caer Oswin Castle". In the dungeon of the castle, we enter into battle with the Promisers (a sect that tries to oppose the Seekers) and get the key. We pass into the courtyard and find a letter, from the content of which it follows that the Seekers were transferred to the Promisers by Corypheus. 
Further, the protagonists discover a member of the Seekers named Daniel, who reports that Lucius betrayed the order before the appearance of the demon Envy. 
Finally, the Inquisitor meets the Lord Seeker, who has gone completely mad and made no secret of his crimes. We clean the area and return to Skyhold. We talk with Cassandra, who managed to study secret book Seekers. 
Do not submit to his will
Cole, after the events in Adamant Fortress, is concerned about the possibility of binding spirits against their will (Cole is known to be the spirit of a young man tortured to death). At first, your comrade-in-arms asked Solas to tie him to himself, but the elf refused to do this and offered an alternative - to get an amulet for Cole that would protect the spirit from external influences. At the command headquarters, we carry out the corresponding task and hand over the amulet to Cole. The amulet will not help, since Cole has become too much "humanized" (according to Varrick). The main characters go to Redcliffe, it is here that the person who is involved in the death of Cole lives. The player must decide whether Cole will be a human or remain a spirit. 
Specializations for the Inquisitor
The main character needs to master new combat skills, at the headquarters of the command we perform the corresponding task. Next, we talk with mentors in the courtyard of Skyhold, after which three more tasks will appear on the Inquisitor branch.

Robbers intercepted and destroyed caravan, which was supposed to deliver material for scientists from the University of Orlais. Judging by the records found, Frederick's camp (it was for him that the cargo was intended) is located nearby. In the area of the camp (Nazer Pass) we explore the area and find a camp with a red tent. We talk with Frederick and transfer the supplies found to the scientist (we receive the task of Frederic's life and the Specification of the Inquisition +1).

After completing the task Relic Hunt in one of the rooms in the Viridis path area (inner courtyard Of the windless ruins, located behind the Hall of Silence) we find large volume, which should be attributed to Frederick.
To complete the task, the ancient manuscript must be translated, you can order this work on the table at the command headquarters.

Mysterious Gap
In the Windless Ruins, the protagonists will find a large number of fighting demons and Venatori, who are frozen in time. It is necessary to remove the mysterious spell and close the gap. After completing the task Heart of the Windless Ruins we remove the staff and return to the main hall, suppress the resistance of the demons and close the gap. 
Abyssal High Dragon
After completing the task Authoritative source", Frederic passes the bait to the main character to lure the dragon that flies over the sky in the Western Reach. Having laid out the bait, the main characters will attract the dragon, after which they will have to defeat it in battle (the dragon is level 15, has a vulnerability to cold and is well protected from fire.)

At this stage, it will not be possible to complete the task, since the passage is closed by a poisonous cloud, through which the player will not be able to pass. It is necessary to visit the Skyhold fortress and find a way to overcome the obstacle (requires influence). 
It is worth noting that until the Herald returns to the command headquarters, he will not be able to pass through Gates of Andorhal(they can only be opened from the inside). One of the captains of the Inquisition proposes to build bridge, which will allow you to get into the old ruins (according to intelligence reports, this is where the creatures of darkness come from). Having crossed the bridge, the main characters find themselves on the old prison road, which will lead the detachment to the ancient ruins. 
Further, the Herald enters Korakavus (an old prison that was captured by darkness). It is worth paying attention to the cameras on the lower level, in this room there are several boxes and a rune. We move through the hall of guards and close tunnel using the skills of Solas. 
We continue to explore the ancient ruins, in the front corridor we find the corpse of Venatori, on the body of which is key and note. The message contains information that the Venatori were excavating under the direction of Sarbis, but after the discovery of the tunnel, the caster fled. The protagonist must track down Sarbis in the Western Reach.

E this is one of the most absurdly delusional long collective quests in the game - they are all open, but initially only a bare cross is available to you, and the actual cloth and decorative elements like the “crown” pommel must be found in the expanses of Thedas. Moreover, the items you are looking for can be in the darkest corner and the last chest, so I personally could not find everything.
Designer's Notes: At the last moment, a foreign video was found on the Internet with explanations of the location of all the details of the banners, but, unfortunately, I have no time to get into the game. So there are no screenshots yet.

The Dragon Age: Inquisition Specialization is a unique player skill that can be chosen from three possible ones. Each class (warrior, mage or rogue) has its own specializations. They will be discussed in the article.
background
The actions of the third part of Dragon Age are a logical continuation of the events of the previous two parts. The first tells of the invasion of the creatures of darkness, as well as how the magicians of Thedas were oppressed. They were kept in special "circles" in order to prevent the spread of the forbidden doctrine - blood magic, and also to stop demonic possession in every possible way.
Those who aroused particular suspicion were subject to pacification - a ritual that resulted in the complete deprivation of magical abilities. The protection of the mage circles was provided by the templar knights.
The second part tells about the personal tragedy of the Hawk family, who were drawn by the will of fate into the growing conflict between the mages and the templars of the Free Marches. Wizards were increasingly persecuted, the templars, in turn, only added fuel to the fire. Especially those who saw blood magic on every corner.
The result was the destruction of the church and the uprising of mages throughout Thedas, which escalated into a civil war.
"Age of the Dragon: Inquisition": a rift in the sky
The third part begins with an attempt to convene representatives of the magicians and templars in order to conclude a peace treaty and stop the war. But an explosion occurs, which leads to a rift in the sky, through which demons enter the human world.
The first half of the game proceeds at a leisurely pace: the heroes must find a way to close the hole, periodically returning to the shelter, healing their wounds. And also the main character, the bearer of a mysterious magical mark in the palm of his hand, is proclaimed Lord Inquisitor. Only he knows how to close these faults, using his gift.
After the hero and his entire team are forced to leave the shelter, along with all civilians, by a non-random coincidence, the first ones in Dragon Age are opened: Inquisition Specializations for the inquisitor. The protagonist learns about this thanks to hints. The Mark of Rupture ability appears, which deals massive damage to the enemy. Requires the accumulation of "concentration" - when the scale is full, the skill will be active.
Dragon Age: Inquisition; classes and specializations in the game.
As mentioned above, each class in the game has its own specializations. You can open them by visiting the headquarters of the command and completing the task "Specializations of the Inquisitor" on the map. The latter will be available after arriving at Skyhold, when the main character and his entire team will be able to seriously settle in this castle.
After completing the mission, three strangers will arrive at Skyhold. These are the teachers who will be able to teach new skills. You can choose only one person, he will issue a quest, after which access to a new specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition will be opened:
- mage specializations: knight sorcerer, necromancer, mage of gaps.
- for a warrior: knight, templar, ripper.
- rogue: mechanic, assassin, storm.
Each class should be considered separately for a more detailed discussion of specializations.
Mage
One of the most interesting skills in Dragon Age: Inquisition is the Wizard Knight specialization. You can get it by completing a quest from Commander Helen, one of the three teachers who arrived in Skyhold. In fact, the ability tree allows you to upgrade the hero into a war mage: it creates a magic blade with which you can fight in close combat. And also the hero can envelop himself with an energy veil (the “shadow cloak” ability), granting invulnerability and the ability to pass through enemies. Having pumped a branch, the hero will be able to resurrect fallen comrades.
The Necromancer has a number of abilities that allow you to instill fear in enemies, restore health at the expense of killed opponents, send spirits to enemy targets, and also turn enemy soldiers into walking bombs. There are a couple of abilities that stand out: haste (expends "focus", allows the hero and allies to move faster) and afterimage (after the death of the main character, his spirit still fights for a while). This Dragon Specialization Age: Inquisition is issued by a man with the strange name Viuus Anaxas, who is a dead master - Mortalitasi.
Rift Mage, on the other hand, is not a very remarkable specialization. It can be obtained from a woman who calls herself "Your Mentor". Having mastered the specialization, the protagonist will be able to crush enemies with energy fists, send a firestorm or stupor to enemies, and also increase damage to allies.
Rogue
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the rogue is a favorite class for many players. He can be an archer, able to learn skill in both hands, hide, disappear from the battlefield and suddenly attack the enemy with renewed vigor. In this case, several skills will also stand out:
Mechanic. The task for obtaining this specialization is issued by a certain Three-Eyes - a mentor in the Skyhold courtyard. A very interesting ability. Especially useful for archers (the “hail of arrows” skill consumes focus points), and for those who like to set traps. It also makes it possible to retreat to a safe area, replenishing health, increases crit for yourself and allies.
Killer. Issued by an elf named Heiress. An extremely useful tree of abilities, the main of which will allow you to hide the entire squad in the shadows and attack. And during the attack, stealth will not go anywhere. The rest of the tree skills will be very useful for a rogue with two daggers.
Storm. A highly unusual specialization given by the rogue Khim. It will allow the player to use various chemical mixtures that either freeze the enemy, or set it on fire, or completely envelop the battlefield with lightning.
Warrior
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, warrior specializations make up for the shortcomings of the class itself. The fact is that this class is rarely played, since the mechanics of the battle have not been worked out very clearly - BioWare turned out to be too slow a warrior. In addition, either Kassandra or Blackwall is mainly engaged in tanking. There are also several skills here:
Knight. The tree of abilities characteristic of the "tank". Helps increase stamina, strikes back, is able to stand on the battlefield for a long time, protecting weaker allies. A special skill that consumes "concentration" - Counterstrike, allows you to fully cause fire on yourself, attack in response, while staying on your feet for a long time. It is extremely useful when you need to go kill the dragon and distract the cubs that periodically run around the battlefield. The quest is given by Lord Chance de Lyon.
Templar. A Dragon Age: Inquisition specialization that allows you to resist mages and demons with the ability to burn spells, inspire allies, increase resistance to various elemental magics, and also cause high resistance to enemy attacks (a skill that spends "focus"). Issued by a strange warrior who calls himself Ser.
Ripper. A skill tree that allows you to turn a warrior into a berserker. Intended for the player who wields (heavy axes, hammers, two-handed swords). The essence of the skills of this specialization: the more damage a character receives, the more violent his attacks. Special Skill- Fury - allows you to restore health with each attack.
Choice of specialization
It should also be noted that mentors teach the knowledge, skills and abilities that other characters already have in the game.
These have:
- Solas is the Mage of Rifts.
- Vivien is a sorcerer knight.
- Dorian is a Necromancer.
- Varric - Mechanic.
- Sir - Storm.
- Cole is a killer.
- Blackwall - Vityaz.
- Cassandra - Templar;
- Iron Bull - Ripper.
Partners can comment on the choice of the main character, expressing approval or condemnation. For example, when choosing necromancy, Cole and Blackwall will express condemnation, while Cassandra will simply comment.
Also, the specialization of Dragon Age: Inquisition contributes to the fact that appropriate rumors will circulate about the Lord Inquisitor. For example, many evil tongues will not disdain once again to reproach the Inquisitor for his passion for necromancy.
Application
It is recommended to use the unique skills of these specializations at the most critical moments, and it is desirable to use them all at once.
For example, when a player decides to hunt a dragon. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, these creatures are no match for the dragons of Skyrim, where they can be knocked out of the sky with a scream, quickly killed and run on. Here you need to carefully consider tactics, choose armor that will resist the dragon's breath (ice, flame or electricity), conduct reconnaissance in battle to find out which element the dragon is most vulnerable to. Then enchant the weapon in the appropriate way and only then go into battle.
In this case, you need to bring down precious unique skills on the enemy in order to knock out the initiative. And then, even in this case, victory is not guaranteed. After all, dragons are complex creatures. They often call on cubs to help, fly from place to place, and also use wind currents to attract characters to themselves. For teammates with weak armor (especially mages) this is certain death.
Modifications
There are various software, which changes some components of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Mods can change the appearance of some characters. For example, through the efforts of craftsmen, a modification appeared that adds a hairstyle game for Qunari women. Playing a beautiful horned character has become much more interesting.
Also, these plugins can slightly change the appearance of some armor samples in the game, making it more attractive. There are a lot of variations of elven armor that (unfortunately) the developers did not introduce into Dragon game Age: Inquisition. Mods fix this bug.
A number of retexture modifications improve the appearance of grass, flowers, trees and other elements of the environment.
Mods are able to fix flaws with tattoos, scars, add new elements when creating a character (beards, eyebrow shapes, hairstyles, and more).
DLC
Dragon Age: Inquisition's specialization has been significantly improved with the release of the Outlander and Jaws of Hakkon expansions. There were many additional "thoughts" in the specialization tree.
In the first addition, we will talk about the arrival of the head of Ben-Hazrat. If in the original version of the game the Iron Bull retained his squad, and the Qunari Dreadnought was sunk, then the character will remain loyal to the Inquisitor. If on the contrary, then the Ox will betray the player, because the code of honor of Kun tells him so.
The Jaws of Hakkon tells the story of an ancient plot by the Hakkonites to bring their merciless god back to earth.
Conclusion
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the pinnacle of fantasy creative genius from Bioware. Everyone can find something different in the game: game style, favorite characters, tactics, favorite places to which you want to return, favorite characters, dialogues with which you want to listen again and again, romantic lines, which are also integral parts of the gameplay.
The Dragon Age trilogy ended with the death of Corypheus, but spawned many fan projects, comics, mini-games, and animated series. Who knows if there will be a continuation of the series. Will it be the beginning of a new series of events or a continuation of what has already happened. Although, the ending of the third part, in which Solas and Mythal (aka Flemeth, the witch from the Waste) are present, hint at the obviously upcoming continuation of the heroic saga, whose name is the Age of the Dragon.
Fans of this game series can only wait.
Dragon Age: Inquisition - What you need to know about Skyhold (GameInformer)
During your stay as Inquisitor, you will travel to different distant lands, fight exotic monsters and explore ancient buildings. However, at the end of all these adventures, you and your Inquisition will need a place to regroup - a place that could be called home. AT Dragon Age: Inquisition this house will look like a castle called Skyhold.
While it serves as a nexus for many of the gameplay elements that are important to the Inquisition, Skyhold isn't just a utilitarian hub. During a visit to the studio bioware in Edmonton, creative director Mike Laidlaw and producer Cameron Lee shared with me some curious details about the unique functions that the castle serves and how Skyhold gives players a huge sense of the power and development of the Inquisition.
Fix and mend
Skyhold will not be your base of operations from the start of the game. In the initial stages of the adventure - before the Inquisition has even formed properly - you and your allies will gather in the village of Haven. And later, when you get to Skyhold, the castle will not look presentable at all.Quote: Laidlaw
When you first get to Skyhold, its condition will be far from ideal. Holes will gape in the roof, the castle itself is damaged, you won’t even be able to completely bypass it from the inside, because it will not be cleared of the collapsed masonry yet.
As your Inquisition grows and gets stronger, buildings and conditions will improve. By the way, looking around your castle, you can determine the level of your progress. In addition to this, since you will be able to specify exactly how the premises will be rebuilt and decorated, the team bioware wanted you to have a sense of possession his "version" of Skyhold.
Quote: Laidlaw
Over time, as you progress through the story, you'll see it rearranged and with more open space. He will go from "the ruined castle" to "your castle". The walls have been repaired. Soldiers bypass it patrol. You will see how the number of service personnel will increase several times. Merchants will arrive and open shops. You will have the feeling that it becomes a grandiose structure, a real castle of the Inquisition.
You choose the look
Formerly in Dragon series Age has always been superficial about the idea of building a base; in addition to Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Awakening, was a fortress Vigil's Tower, which was converted to Stronghold of the Gray Wardens. Of course, you could strengthen the Vigil's Tower's defenses, but its customization options were limited.Quote: Cameron Lee
Vigil's Tower's changes were more reactive than proactive. In Skyhold, everything will change: “how I rebuild it and how I change it will only be my decision”
Is not Sims where you fuss over every detail of your dream home. Skyhold's layout is generally standard, but the Inquisitor makes decisions about decor and other elements during the transformation. For example, if a tower needs to be rebuilt, you can decide whether it will be equipped to accommodate mages or templars, depending on who you are more loyal to. Or if your character is Dalish Elf, you can decorate the castle with Dalish wooden carvings.
Quote: Cameron Lee
As you explore the world, complete various quests and explore side content, you will gain access to, say, different variants of thrones that you can install in your castle, as well as various decorations, heraldry and symbols. So you can remodel and expand your castle based on your own choice and taste.
You can freely choose what you like because skyhold customization does not apply to the statistics of the Inquisitor.
Quote: Laidlaw
Otherwise, we would have faced the problem of complicating the mechanics of this gameplay element. If we were to create a system where "this look does this, and this is the best option", you would have to use it at the expense of gameplay. So no matter which banner or decor you choose, it shouldn't affect gameplay. As you understand, we do not want you to feel that we are forcing you to do anything. In other words - promotion for customization will be exclusively in appearance your base to match the decisions and preferences you make, but that doesn't mean Skyhold doesn't have enough ways to make you stronger.
Three options for decor and furniture in the main hall of Skyhold:
Your seat of power
In addition to your literally throne seat, Skyhold is also the place where it is determined where and how your Inquisition will grow. Using military table, you will be able to determine where the attention of the Inquisitor is most needed, and you will also be able to choose which location to open and where to send your agents.Quote: Laidlaw
The military table is your command post. You'll have a better understanding of the things you're doing, from "throwing little pebbles into a pond to throwing boulders." Every now and then, the war table will tell and visually demonstrate to you the history of the formation of the Inquisition, as well as help you, as a commander, make decisions ... You will begin to feel that you have a huge impact on the world, in addition, you will receive reports from your advisers confirming your conjectures.
When the time comes to expand your Inquisition, you will need to develop in three different directions at once. The first is influence, which is essentially experience points of the Inquisition, which grow as you progress in your adventures and tasks. When the Inquisition reaches a new level, you can spend points on global improvements such as: the ability to carry more items or the ability to collect additional materials for craft. The second direction is power. While influence is constantly growing, power is " currency which is earned and spent. Power is used to progress through the main story as well as to unlock additional territories on the war table. The third direction is time. The Inquisitor doesn't deal with every problem personally, so special missions called operations(unlocked also by power level) allow you to send agents to complete them in real time. After a certain amount of time has passed (some operations may take a whole day or more), the mission will be completed and you will receive your reward. Some operations will have multiple components that will require the intervention of the Inquisitor to resolve the situation when the dust of battle settles and so on.
Earning and spending these three resources forms the basis of the Inquisition's structure. Whether you're completing side quests, collecting crafting materials, exploring different areas, it's all about part of your overall progress.
All here
Since Skyhold is the place where are going all members of the Inquisition, you can wander around the area and meet all your allies. They will all find nooks and crannies to settle in; Leliana can be found in the yard, while Sir feels more comfortable in a bar.Quote: Laidlaw
You'll see how the characters' places really become their homes - they sort of personify them. Some degree of their behavior will show through, for example, Doriana there will be a massive chair with a leather back.
These characters will not just be hanging around, but the player's interaction with them will be deeper than it was in Dragon Age II.
Quote: Laidlaw
Many of our fans missed the ability to interact with their team members and close friends who simply said, “Hi. How are you?". So it was in Dragon Age: Origins. Many of the fans will be happy to know that the interaction is returning, in full, in Skyhold. You come up and say, “Hi Varric, how are you? Tell me about Kirkwall." This will allow you to better study the nature of the characters, to understand the true essence.
In some cases, your main interaction with the character will be romantic interest. Your advisors Cullen and Josephine will not travel with you as combat companions, but they will be potential targets for your love claims. How you use your time with them in Skyhold will shape your relationship.
Your word is law
The throne, located in the main hall of Skyhold, is not just there for decoration. Sitting on it you will have the opportunity to take part in litigation- scenes depicting how the Inquisitor is essentially administering justice and making decisions regarding further fate anyone.Quote: Laidlaw
Litigation has two purposes. The first is to feel like a commander, and the second is that they give us a way to complete some unfinished business. Such trials are not always random. Because you did "X", or because you did "Y", and then these characters appear in front of you. As a result, you already have context (situations). You've dealt with these guys - or stood up to them on many occasions - and now they're standing in front of you.
Each of these scenarios is intentional, so you won't end up with an endless stream of repetitive situations. Since there will not be many of them in the game, the proceedings that you will see should be imprinted in your memory.
Quote: Laidlaw
My favorite is definitely the goat situation. The father of the clan chief you killed in Fall Mire, suddenly appears in your castle and besieges it with the carcass of a dead goat. He slams it against the walls in ritual abuse. You have options, but I think you could make him an ambassador.
I like those characters who, depending on your actions in the game, can almost always be coaxed, rather than confronted with them in open conflict. This is a kind of social victory. I don't want to go into details, but such characters can bring you to court. Later it may turn out that the person has a lot of information and will be able to work with your spies, making them more effective. Also, depending on your mood, you can sentence him to the position of a permanent jester at your court.
While Lee and Laidlaw enjoy discussing "easy" examples, not all court sessions end in merriment. You can exile a character or execute him, and even in one of the cases, sentence the mage to pacification.
The court and the war table - everything in Skyhold is arranged so that control is in the hands of the player.
Quote: Laidlaw
The most important thing in the work of the Inquisition is to be a leader.
Quote: Cameron Lee
Skyhold is where you make your plans and increase your power.
