Member-only story
My thoughts on a bit of Dragon Age: Inquisition-Meta
“Almost every member of Inquisition betrays you in some way or another, with exceptions of course.”
So, said someone in a Dragon Age-themed Facebook group I just joined.
They went on to list the “betrayals” by character. I took a bit of issue with so easily boiling down the “betrayals” by Solas and Anders, and replied. Spoilers ahead. . . .
“I think the big question isn’t who betrayed the Inquisition and/or Inquisitor (or the Chantry and non-magi), but why.
“Most of those betrayals were impersonal, and had nothing to do with the Inquisitor or even the Inquisition. It wasn’t personal or vengeance-thing. It was happenstance — and in reaction to things that pre-dated the Inquisition. It was simply a “betrayal” of the most powerful player on the board. And not even out of spite, but out of necessity — whether anyone else agreed with the necessity, or not.
“Particularly, Solas and Anders — since their “betrayals” were absolutely necessary.
