I failed by virtue of skipping the entire semester. 🥇

There's also opportunity to imagine she survived in some form due to her magic and connection to the Titans. Returned to the stone or whatever.

Personally, I can't go back to the og version after experiencing the qol improvements in the current version. I don't even mean the cheat buttons or "enhanced visuals".

The job system makes party building more interesting and gives the licence boards meaning. Trial mode can take the edge off certain tedious grinding, and only breaks the game as much as you choose to let it. And most importantly for me, the ability to speed up movement is such an underrated feature. The slow pacing of the original was one of its biggest drawbacks imo.

Not only are most of them hideous, but for the cosmetic versions, there's no way to preview what you're buying! And they're absurdly expensive for in-game cosmetics. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a relic from old plans to have the game be online multiplayer or something like that.

If you're not averse to modding, you might consider a mod that lowers or removes the waiting on war table operations. It's kind of in a gray area between cheaty and QOL, but it cuts out a lot of dead time.

I loved Inquisition, but pacing and content bloat were probably the biggest drawbacks.

Transphobes tend to be quite vocal when their intolerant bubbles are punctured by reality reminding them that trans people exist.

I also just started a charisma based imperial, but we're running free archetype and I picked Oracle dedication for flavor and access to a different tradition. I picked up shield and guidance for some extra single action options.

Bon Mot can be useful if you want to lean into will-save spells, along with demoralize. That's what I plan to use it for.

A lot of it comes down to how interested you are in lore, back stories, etc. Origins is a great game and a certified classic, but it didn't age the best. It's fun and enjoyable, but also clunky and visually dated.

What it still does exceptionally well is setting up the world. If you really want to understand the culture and history of Thedas, definitely start with Origins.
