Man, Inquisition is such a good looking game for how old it is. Still love the occasional playthrough.

[@morgansbasement]

It is kinda crazy to think this is a game this also on the 360 haha. They did a great job with the visuals and colors

[@dcanngieter]

I am glad to say I’m one of the .42 percent of people who’ve beat it….and I even added all of the trials. God this is my GOAT video game

[@morgansbasement]

LOVE TO HEAR IT!

[@GeoGosha]

This?GOAT? Holy fuckin shit you’re objectively a tasteless butthole

Did the same thing a few years ago, and the amount of micro managing that was necessary on occasion was intense!

This video coming out made rotting in bed sick not that bad. You’ve got a good style and I really liked the little history/context breaks. It’s a consideration I don’t see a lot of so it was pretty cool

[@morgansbasement]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Macy! And I hope you feel better soon! I'm trying out different stuff every video, so it's good to get feedback on what people enjoy!

[@GarrettOtt-ls2ml]

Same sick in bed in the hospital but I love watching all things Dragon Age these videos really really help take my mind off things and just nerd out for a bit.😊 Hope you get better soon Hero Of Ferelden, Champion Of Kirkwall and Herald Of Andaste .... The future of Thedas is in your hands

[@macyloiselle3983]

@@GarrettOtt-ls2ml I’ve had so much time to watch Dragon Age content these past couple of days that I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of challenge runs of Origins. They scratch a special part of my brain that wants to experience the game again so if you haven’t gotten to those yet I highly recommend it! And I hope that you get well soon too!! There will be a lot to do once Veilguard comes out and I hope we’ll be ready for it😊👍

[@GarrettOtt-ls2ml]

Yah I watched someone do a nightmare run on the 1st one. It reminded me of my nightmare run on Origins and awakening when I was in high school. It was so much fun so strategic you really have to properly spec your party and use the tactical camera to get thru the later portions of the game. I guess Veilgaurd won't have the tactical camera..... Sad face but I kinda understand that they got to try to bring in a bigger audience but I'm still bummed

[@morgansbasement]

@@GarrettOtt-ls2ml I think it's fair to be bummed about that tbh. The game has gone from CRPG adjacent to fully action. I am excited to see some crazy detonation effects and parries though!

[@miasma82]

Last time i played Dragon Age: Inquisition was three years ago. I remember it because we got a new boss at work around that time and she loves DA. I remember talking to her about the series when she showed up. And today i actually talked to her about it again and how i wanted to replay Inquisition. The dragon fights in that the game was epic. Gonna do a run sometimes soon. Great video man!

[@morgansbasement]

The Dragon Fights in this game were the highlight of the open world IMO. I hope you get back to the game soon and have a blast!

[@frostycinder7099]

Got this trophy back a few months ago when I went for the platinum. Beginning was tough as nails, and I barely scraped by on every main quest big boss, but in between, outside of fights taking forever, they werent horrible. It was alot more fun too being more tactical. When Veulguard Comes out, itll be my first playthrough fs

[@morgansbasement]

No lie I normally play on normal so I can do all the content when i first encounter it and not have to back track because it's too hard, but i will 100% be doing it this time around. Gunna be sick!

[@Kylesico912x]

And once you know how to build your companions, it isn't that bad. Cole does shockingly well with a bow and Toxic Mist is OP on any AI rogue going melee with it's trespasser upgrade. And crafting really helps lower the difficulty, even if it's tedious.

[@santcee]

Oof, how did that go for you lmao.

[@HarmoniusLife]

I subscribed when you said Team always has an I, thank you... That is my exact reasoning why I play as a rogue.

[@morgansbasement]

I decided to make this video because my excitement was growing for Veilgaurd, and I needed a distraction 😂 so you and I are in a similar position lmao

[@almendras1707]

Same

[@LazyGibbon]

Really fun to watch video dude, got another sub. Also absolutely agree on Corypheus' monologue, it's epic! That ''...it was empty'' bit always gives me chills

[@morgansbasement]

There is another line where he mutters the phrase "... so we no longer beg at the feet of the invisible, " and that gets me every time. For all the issues this game has, the villain is not one of them imo!

I know right lol

[@feelingweller]

21:38 first time I played, I tried to kill that druffalo bc I found him randomly while exploring. I fought him for hours. Hes invincible. It wasn’t until later that I found out he’s for a quest

[@morgansbasement]

The Druffalo is the real final boss haha

[@Akrioz]

I did nightmare as a release version of Knight Enchanter. Didn't know that it was busted as F. Later they revamped the class and it was still busted just in a different way (Fire Mines spam)

[@morgansbasement]

I always play a mage in the first 2 games, but I've never played it in this one because of how much I dislike the basic attacks at the start haha. The Knight Enchanter looks like a blast though

[@hatlebee]

Been doing my replay through of Inquisition and FULLY immersed in all it's content. This video was one of the best I've seen. Loved all your commentary and humor. Can't wait to see what you do for Veilguard!

[@morgansbasement]

I appreciate the kind words! We're T-minus 2 weeks, so I hope you're hyped!

[@CondemnedInformer]

In Veilguard they are just SO tankie and if you fall you don't get to play as other party members, which there are only two of, you just have to reset. Lucky there are a lot of save points, which is nice.

[@Clubz604]

I've never seen this game before and after watching this video it makes me wanna play it. Great story telling, really enjoyed this one! Worgan.

[@morgansbasement]

HIGHLY recommend you give the series a try!

[@blazedehart2748]

23:50 Blackwall is the GOAT. My very first play through, I had a party wipe fighting a dragon except for Blackwall. He soloed the thing. Took like 20 minutes but it was still a crazy fun time.

[@morgansbasement]

In my first playthrough I had Blackwall on my "Dragon Hunting Squad." He's actually a great tank, but I still think it's funny to call him "Stolen valor Blackwall" 😂

[@houseofsten]

awesome video brother. i remember doing Inquisition as my very first game when I finally picked up an xbox one and i did nightmare. It was an absolute pain. Good job bro! i just gotta do the DLC and I should have the completion

[@vincenzbill9155]

I really enjoyed your Wolfenstein "Mein Leben" video, so I was stoked to see you release another high-quality longform video. You have a very personable and well-flowing presenting style, and your editing does a lot to provide good pacing. This can be quite difficult, given that achievement-focused videos have to incorporate many hours of gameplay, but you manage to pull it off in a way that feels natural and seamless to the viewer, so kudos to that! My only criticism is your upload schedule (Make more videos please xD). I hope to see more stuff from you in the future!

[@morgansbasement]

Thank you for the premium gas! I would love to upload more haha! I recently moved and had to pull some late nights at work, so I was slowed down quite a bit, but I'm currently looking into some help with editing so I can get a video out every 2-3 weeks! Hopefully I can find a few more hours in the day and we can get really crazy!

Dragon Age Origins is in my top 10 games of all time, so you're among great company!

[@faelenmercia]

It pains me that my run of this game in Nightmare mode was not only 100% with all DLC's on the most glass cannon build I could as a 2H Reaver warrior, but I have no record of that run because it was on an Origin account I no longer have access to. I have only my word to back my self-inflicted suffering

[@oliviabees]

I absolutely adore DA:I, and getting the Nightmare achievement is one of the highlights of my gaming career! Knight Enchanter Inquisitor with Vivienne, Solas, and Blackwall was my go-to team.

[@morgansbasement]

I was never a triple mage team kind of guy, but that does sound like a great time!

[@TheDrunkenBard]

I only came for the millions of lumens of mood lighting haha

[@morgansbasement]

We all need that illuminating mood every once in a while 😂

[@jasonkeenan4154]

I absolutely adored inquisition. And now that I'm most of the way through Veilguard, I feel like I can say if you enjoyed Inquisition, you'll probably like Veilguard as well. Story not quite as good as previous installments but the combat is top notch and it looks incredible.

[@payableondeath7]

I put off doing Nightmare until the very last achievement, having played over and over since launch, learning where everything is, doing over a dozen 100% runs, and was super prepared for the worst and... it was actually pretty easy. Cassandra solved everything. She was my rock, she got all the best shit, and never died a single time. The only difference between my usual playthroughs and my nightmare run is I crafted Jar of Bees, Rock Armor, and Antivan Fire, _literally_ the first time I even touched potions outside of health and regen. The hardest thing in the whole run was fighting the timer away from the grand ball during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. Knowledge really was power all along. (sadly I could not defeat a single dragon outside of the blight dragon)

[@morgansbasement]

Fighting the timer during the Grand Ball is so accurate LOL. I think I had gotten down to like 5ish approval before I finally went back

[@Timewyrm1989]

I have this achievement! The opening mission with the Pride Demon was actually the hardest part, but you can get the Jar of Bees pretty early, so you’re able to cheese the entire game. RIP Corypheus, stung to death by bees.

[@robotbench6102]

This sated me from wanting to play BG3, since i got very sickly that i was dizzy and sick to my stomach that I couldn't play, after 2 hospital trips and 3 weeks of suffering later i feel entirely better that i can finally play! ❤ This video helped me a lot along with the bioshock video. :) although BG3 is a fairly big game perhaps you could give it a shot since it has a honor mode, after veil guard of course, it is similar to origins in gameplay and tactics but it's turn based. (i say that now so you know, for most that's a deal breaker.) It's a game I can't stop playing and I'm near the ending half once again, i would play da:i again but gods... I can't stomach the hinterlands all over lmao. ❤😂😅

[@morgansbasement]

I hope you're back to 100% soon, and I'm glad I was able to help you out ❤ and you should definitely stay away from the hinterlands if you're already sick 😂 I will be playing BG3! I picked it up at launch and I just didn't have time to do a 150 hour playthrough before starting Honor mode, but I'm going to do something a bit creative and try to make that first playthrough into something special, then I'll swing back for the hardest difficulty and turn that into it's own thing!

[@CosmicJokers]

Animated Morgan is better at explaining things than any teacher ! (He also needs a cool nickname 😎)

[@evanduhon4353]

I played 2 handed reaver on nightmare it was extremely hard until you unlock your sub class I remember. The mission where they raid castle took me forever to beat. I remember having to put the game down and come back month later. From what I remember after this mission you get to unlock you new subclass. I respect into reaver and it wasn’t to bad after that. Nightmare combat was totally different than normal you actually have to use your companion and choose who to bring with you wisely. Sad that they change the combat in the new one but if I ever get a day off work I’ll check it out for my self

[@Supagamer1989]

I got this trophy a couple years ago. Haven’t done the trials, but I’ve been meaning to go back to Inquisiton once I finish Veilguard.

[@sofajockeyUK]

Closed out this achievement (and all the trial achievements) a few weeks ago. My nightmare run took 185 hours. i also went Rogue archer. I like to give Blackwall Kitty's Collar with the first health on hit item i could craft from the fade-touched material locked in Redcliffe Village. And I used the Golden Nug because that's what it's there for.

[@morgansbasement]

I haven't played the game since Trespasser came out, so I didn't even know what the nug was until I was editing this video. I used it during this run without knowing, and now that I'm aware of it, I would do it again 😂

[@morgansbasement]

It happens once every 2 months it seems LOL, so it better be a good day

[@0Fa_R0E]

Honestly, I didn't find Nightmare all that bad when I did it. I did that difficulty with all the trials, and the only point I ever got stuck for a bit was in the bloody Fade with the fight with the Nightmare. I just reloaded an earlier save and went through the fade again with some better management and had no problem. Inquisition is the first game I purposefully went out of my way to platinum trophy (fuck some of the tedious trophies, honestly) but this game always has a special place in my heart.

[@SMOK3SCR3EN]

Inquisition is goated shame they came out with veiguard and crapped all over it

[@jamesriccio1997]

I didn't do trials at the same time, but I've just finished my nightmare run as well. I went with mage, and once i got my Knight Enchanter specialization, the rest of the game was honestly a joke. Didn't even get close to getting killed, i even solo'd a dragon.

[@morgansbasement]

Soloing a dragon is actually nuts lol. I think I only fully died twice in the game, and one of those times was when I was alone under Haven LOL. All Nightmare mode did was make it so I do things in a different order. The tactical element was fun! Overall not as big of a challenge as I expected though

[@ScarletL1on]

I did it. But not only in Inquisition, but in every other DA and ME game as well. The hardest one was the DLC for DA: Origins where you need to kill the Harvester, it was a literal hell

[@morgansbasement]

Dude I remember playing a rogue and running around in circles shooting some arrows, and then going invisible so I could reposition. It was so cheese, but at the time I didn't know how else to do it lmao

[@vaeirin]

15:12 lmao I laughed hard at this one 😂 Also didn't realize before but The Witcher and Mass Effect ost suits this game so well, such a bangers. Great vid!

[@morgansbasement]

The roaming ass is rarely seen, so it was a sight for sure 😂 The Witcher/ME OST's were so good that I used them for like 90% of the video haha. I didn't realize how well they would match either

[@casonlint]

I've yet to finish inquisition simply because it's a slog, but this has given me the motivation to finish it, and the dlc's.

[@morgansbasement]

I'll be honest with you, there are parts of this game that are DEFINITELY a slog. I'm a huge DA fan, and I can concede that everyday of the week. The final DLC is a massive payoff IMO, and if you plan on playing the next game, I would highly recommend it (or at least watch it on youtube)

[@RazielTheUnborn]

Wait, what? The complete percentage for nightmare is that low? My original run was on Nightmare. Figured the completion rate would be higher.

[@morgansbasement]

I'm sure there are alot of reasons, but I avoided nightmare on my first go around because I didn't want to get stopped from exploring high level sections 😂. I want the first run to be focused on story and exploration, and higher difficulties stop me from wandering into high level zones lmao. You're a champ for doing it on that difficulty for your first playthrough

[@gromdal9293]

I finished DAI on nightmare and all DLC except Tresspaser. Does that count? xD Tresspasser was imposible for me on Nightmare, I would have to grind so much more to even have a chance. I finised it on hard xD.

[@morgansbasement]

I didn't need to do trespasser for an achievement, so I wouldn't want to grind levels for it either lool. Totally understandable IMO

[@nathanwinters2400]

Nightmare + Trials has been a ride. I did the Nightmare mode already as a Reaver which was... something alright lol. Got to Haven at Level 5 after doing Hushed Whispers and Blackwall freaking HATES me right now. Leliana too. Did it feel shitty to imprison the mages to keep Viv/Sera due to Fair Weather Friends? Yeah. And yet at the same time it makes way more sense to punish them than it does the Templars that I generally go to save since what's left of the Order are like beginner level recruits and a handful of senior Knights. That and the sweet, sweet stat boosts. Doing Emrpise du Lion soon and I'm not excited for it lol

Its been a while since I played Inquisition for its plat. All I remember of my nightmare run was abusing the golden nug to get a silly weapon as I Reaver'ed all over the game. I wouldn't call it fun but saying it waa effective would be an understatement.

[@morgansbasement]

TBH Dragon Age Inquisition is too long of a game to want to raw dog nightmare IMO. If the game was more streamlined then a barebones challenge might be pretty fun, but since nightmare just increases enemy health, it would feel like such a slog to do a 60-80 hour playthrough (unless it was your first run and everything was new to you)

I will never understand the sara hatered.

[@morgansbasement]

She reminds me of my younger siblings when we were kids, and the level of similarity fuels my annoyance 😂

[@kevinbonin6173]

@@morgansbasement ahh, I was the youngest. Explains a lot.

[@ВалентинЛагутин-и2т]

its probably already been said, but hinterlands is not your only option to lvl up before the "In Your Heart Shall Burn" EDIT: the vid is fire btw

[@morgansbasement]

I'm glad you liked the video! Also the main reason I didn't want to go to other areas early on is because I already knew the power grind was going to be long for the main story, and I didn't want to use power to open up new areas for leveling when I would just need to farm power again haha. I got through the game in like 30 hours, so it ended up being a good call for efficiency

[@DiscoGhost2009]

the books really help fill holes. all of them were great.

[@BigPapaSam96]

I started playing this game. Its a really great game. How are you doing?

[@morgansbasement]

I'm doing well, Sam! I'm grinding the new Dragon Age game at the moment! It's been a wild ride let me tell you

[@BigPapaSam96]

@morgansbasement I just got the new Dragon Age game. How are you liking it so far?

[@morgansbasement]

@@BigPapaSam96 I have my complaints, but so far there is a good amount of things I enjoy. I'll report back when I know more!

[@Kurotaisa]

uh does your elf look like dollar store solas?

[@morgansbasement]

How dare you

[@talltalestold]

After being a HUGE veilguard defender since its release… im watching this and remembering how much more nuanced and brutal every other da game was. Burn veilguard down.

[@morgansbasement]

The only place that Veilguard really shines is the world IMO. The rest of the game isn't hitting for me fully.

[@pjnorthbay]

Omg I'm in love :D I need a bf that is this into games! Loved the video can't believe I actually watched the whole thing! Now to see what else you have on the channel

[@attila8417]

I wanted to beat inquisition again on nightmare before veilguard. After spending what felt like half an hour beating the first enemy I quit 😂😂

[@morgansbasement]

LOL I was worried it would be like this, but you snowball really hard by the end

[@anshdeepsharda6970]

Witcher 3 music for a dragon's age video, I loved it!

[@morgansbasement]

It hits so good!

[@gemmafire8628]

Trial of the Tower is possible on Nightmare! I can’t find the guide I based her on, but I managed it with my Dwarf Champion Inquisitor. It was grindy as hell and the rest of my party died, but at this point I’m used to them getting ripped apart and soloing dragons lol.

[@morgansbasement]

That's actually pretty cool! I was a few levels under the dragon so I probably would have had to level up a few times and then change my gear around of I wanted to get it done. tbh I was ready to add the completion to my account and move on haha

[@Noxlla]

The only achievement I never got was the stupid great bear trials one. I got tired of running around trying to get the stupid bears to spawn.

[@jren32]

checking in to see youre still doing well

[@morgansbasement]

Buddy, I was born to do well. I hope you're doing well

[@brandonsavage5076]

First off great video loved it Second probably a dumb question but how did you get the descent schematics so early on? Especially on nightmare lol

[@morgansbasement]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've only done 1 full playthrough before this, but because I did so much that it unlocked a bunch of schematics through the golden nug in Haven. I didn't look up the specifics, but I'll use them if the game wants to give them 😂

[@toolatetothestory]

I do not care what happens to the Grey Wardens, I will NEVER leave Hawke behind. Hell no. I could never hurt Varric like that.

[@morgansbasement]

On my first "cannon playthrough" I actually did the same thing, but I had Varric with me. It was so heartbreaking

[@toolatetothestory]

@@morgansbasement OUCH I can only imagine!

[@tanna_k]

Your character looks like an overcooked Solas

[@morgansbasement]

I didn't put it in the video, but I referred to him as twice baked Solas when I would make mistakes 😂

[@ndausky8212]

Idk how the hell you got through the Intro boss on the first try him and his minions on nightmare are DIABOLICAL 😂

[@morgansbasement]

RIP Solas is how LOL
