Dragon Age Inquisition - The Dawn Will Come (Plus Discovering Skyhold)

[@MisterMcDaunting]

One of the strongest cutscenes ever in Gaming history.

[@Krysstinia]

Discovering Skyhold is my favorite scene in any game that I've played.

[@oscarsaris3183]

One of the worst*

[@eval_is_evil]

Krysstinia my favourite scene was from W3 when you say goodbye to Cirila and when you enter Toussant in Blood and Wine expansion. Man was that an amazing game. Inquisition too for that matter but in a different way. Can't decide which one is better.

[@randomusernameCallin]

If only game play as near as good.

[@A.76-v4z]

Completly agree

[@karlhaines4549]

amazing scene. made it feel like I had finally started the game and the beginning bit had just been for fun

[@Camaroni1000]

Karl Haines I was half expecting after this scene *achievement unlocked* "real prologue finished"

[@toro901010]

yeah the real thing is coming...

[@rolfs2165]

What a pity the game became such a drag afterwards ...

[@Jalgorn]

@@toro901010 Yeah, well, Shadows fall etc...

[@AndyG94]

I still get shivers when Skyhold comes to scene....

[@kimmidoll123]

that strut solas does before he lights the torch kills me every time

[@eval_is_evil]

...very ...umm...elven like :)

[@MalcrowAlogoran]

apparently it was supposed to mirror an actual wolf's gait.

[@SuccubiSage]

I think we can all agree that THIS is where the title card should have been.

[@Suisfonia]

Even years after, these two main scenes give me goosebumps and still impress me with the music.

[@mirrandas91]

Best cut scene in the game. Also noticed how hammy Solas gets with an elf as opposed to other races. I suppose he does have a certain reputation to live up to though.

[@wolfmaui7363]

It was this scene alone that made me keep playing the game

[@Aghoas17]

The best scene ever made I believe.

[@RuSosan]

Meh, hardly. One of the most epic moments in DA-games, but also *extremely* cheesy and corny, and still not exactly on par with the army-gathering of DA:Origins. In general entertaiment, like other games and movies included, this really doesn't even deserve a place in the top 10, except maybe music-wise. Or not really even in that, since the music is so heavily, and obviously influenced by LOTR. Plot-wise this is all-too-predictable. You start off at some place, suffer a major defeat against an overwhelming enemy, and have to rebuild everything from scratch against said enemy. Sound familiar? Check how many Bioware-plots go exactly by that pattern.

[@TCMusic-iv4nd]

+RuSosan Hey now, tropes aren't bad.

[@Aghoas17]

I agree with you... but still it gave me goose bumps and hope ^^. I am sure they could do better with the storyline and character development.

[@saltybae1]

RuSosan oh shut up, stop whining and play the games, you're just being stupid, your lives is so predictable bitch, every game in this world is predictable, only you being a bitch about it

[@RuSosan]

@@saltybae1 Oh, I see KZbin didn't see fit to notify me about your _reply._ Too bad. I missed good laughs at your expense for a while, damn... Hey, since it's been two years, I have to ask: Are you still an insecure, flaw-projecting, pathetic asshole like you obviously were at the time of your reply, or have you maybe grown up enough to accept criticisms of the things you like without turning into a whiny little bitch? Do tell. I am almost genuinely curious.

[@TecnoMTA]

dude this scene gave me chills, so good

[@Stefan_8612]

This is 10.000 Times more epic that the Soundtrack Version. BioWare you are just non plus ultra.

[@Keldroths]

Sehr schön zu sehen. Vor 10 Jahren und diese Szene als Erinnerung hat mich wieder mehr gepackt als gefühlt 30 Stunden Veilguard.

[@Kchanforrliife]

Notice the E G G ' s expression during this scene, LMAO

[@visionhawk4403]

The most perfect cutscene I have ever seen in any game ever.

[@tvrtkocosic6562]

I started playing inquisition last summer but had little time to play, so it got dragged out through the entire year. I must say that after year of playing i grown really attached to the game and this scene will always give me goosebumps.

[@PeCzech]

I love how we hear this, amazing of course, accent of her, but then she sings this banger

[@TheCatWatches]

Solas is basically the author of Dragon Age III: Inquisition. Could’ve removed the anchor anytime he wanted when Corypheus couldn’t. Let Haven get wrecked, tolerated the musical number, offered one of his properties as a base of operations, gains the Inquisitor’s trust and perhaps romances her, and I suspect Solas is manipulating Rook in Dragon Age IV: Veilguard

[@mattphoenix4702]

I suspect Solas was unable to modify or remove the Anchor until after he takes Mythal’s power. He DID tinker with it a great deal right after the explosion and before the Inquisitor awoke. He couldn’t really do much more than temporarily help contain it, it didn’t truly stop growing and threatening the Inquisitor’s life until the original breach was sealed at the Temple of Sacred Ashes. Solas VERY MUCH wanted the breach sealed at this point and had every motivation to do all he could to aid the Inquisitor and could do almost nothing but give information. Remember the only reason he gave the orb to Corypheus in the first place was because he was too weak after his long sleep to activate the orb himself. It’s doubtful he could have changed the outcome of what happened at Haven, either. Again, after the unexpected survival of the inquisitor, the best he could do was offer information. That was Skyhold. In Trespasser he tells us he doesn’t view himself as a monster. He did all he could to make the last years of the world before its end as peaceful and happy as possible. He’s a villain, but he’s not a Corypheus. He’s not cruel or vindictive except to the remainder of the eleven “gods”. He’s far less powerful than you are giving him credit for. He was opportunistic, certainly. Not the mastermind

[@Mrdarkrai]

I hope dragon age 4 has at least one scene like this

[@Zerathenezot]

It didn't

[@Mrdarkrai]

@Zerathenezot good I know not to buy it now

[@Zerathenezot]

@Mrdarkrai combat is good, the hair physics are amazing and assan and Manfred are the 2 best characters in the game. Thats about all the praise I can give it

[@Stefan_8612]

If the Cutscene in the Beginning would be a Minute longer i could have tears in my eyes, i don't know why, my body always has the reaction

[@hcook1023]

I never thought about it but the part about "how it is remembered" was probably the most relevant part of this, because it was set about by the machinations of others that lead to the Inquisitor rising

[@c00lg33k]

This is why I love games!

[@GMak81]

This is one of the finest moments in visual media.

[@c0dakw0lfgaang48]

This game is very under-rated. Apart from Witchers 3 and skyrim, this is also a must play medieval Rpg game.

[@gabrielaleactus9932]

The song and the cutscenes here are one of the best

[@Malisane]

Loved this scene. The battle in Haven and trudging through the snow was bleak as hell. This scene picked up again as a.player.

[@Sailor-Blueberry]

Looks so nice on PC. I have it on xbox 360 and Skyhold looks like a 13-year-old made it in minecraft...

[@tsstevensts]

A side by side comparison suggests only a cree-pee obsessive compulsive could tell any real difference.

[@toro901010]

i think is more a maniac depress, there are the most superficial people, when they see the trailer of the game is a rush, but when they buy the game only play 4 hours then the depress surround and the people just throw the game because is not impressive or good. i believe in a better equilibrium in mind and feelings can do a better life. and yeah im the cree-pee obsessive compulsive but i want to share a vision that many people don't know, and this video is perfect to inspire people to change the problems and fears that suffers.Respectfully I say goodbye

[@willt2810]

When they kneel. Hail the Inquisitor! The king in the NORTH!

[@tsstevensts]

Here's hoping s/he will be Jon Snow and not Robb Stark.

[@allysonchen4286]

He did say scout to the North

[@missguttz]

Solas is legit the only one with good posture in this game

[@maoristereo]

Bad guys always look the best

[@MerickFox]

Without a doubt, The dragon age games are the only games EA did right

[@dillonduke1662]

Aleksa Petrovic lol what are you talking about the bew A C games are the highest rated of the series I stead of that dumb tailing missions and easy counter combat it use to have

[@MiniCerberus991]

@@dillonduke1662 i mean. I honestly believe assassin's Creed just is... getting old. I genuinely think that Vahalia is good, but honestly nothing will ever replace how I felt playing black flag

[@kirikakirikakirika]

Skyhold.

[@eivoran5208]

I always choose this hair style for my female characters (aside from Qunari, obviously). The others just kinda look.....awkward. Oh, also, great video xD Thanks!

[@Azaltarar]

Awesome, shee looks just like mine ! Though even with the screenshots of the sliders from the original creator, I don't think you can make it exactly the same.From what I saw neither mine or yours looks exactly, exactly like the original, even if we did do our best.

[@Multistan85]

Tbh, first time experiencing this scene a little pee came out. So epeec

[@ST456258]

I find it fitting that Deanery's look was used for Dragon age inquisition. I think there are parallels between Mother of Dragons and Inquisitor. And I could totally see Dany there making choices that would define the future,

[@delta1525]

I tried making mine after Stannis...

[@luisz222]

until season 8 where she decides to become a genocidal tyrant on a whim.

[@Radial9Gaming]

Daenerys huh ? :D

[@paigeanne1325]

Most powerful scene in any video game...it’s literally like a dany from GOT journey from having everything u ever had destroyed and you have little followers and u have to build again...then u become the commander of the biggest army in Thedas by the end of this and u REALLY feel like Dany...minus the terrible fucking ending they gave us and u could almost fool me that this was how it ended😂love this game I swear it’s the most real representation of army battles sieges and dialogue and character arcs I’ve ever encountered👏🏻👏🏻thank u bioware

[@literallyanangrymoose7717]

This game is so far better than that awful show its almost insulting to compare them.

[@Sintakhra]

A fantastic cutscene in a good game... But a completely wasted opportunity for a base :(

[@jackhammertwo1]

Nobody recognized Skyhold as the fortress of one of the DAO DLCS? nobody else?

[@Enel97]

jackhammertwo1 no noone did because its not one of them. Perhaps you are confusing it with soldiers peak or vigils keep?

[@varric]

None of the fortress we see en DAO was in the Frostbacks. Vigil's Keep was in Amaranthine and Soldier's Peak nearby Amaranthine, both in the other side of Ferelden.

[@Camaroni1000]

DaO DLC is known as soldiers peak. Or in the Dragon age Awakening it’s Vigils keep but that’s not on a mountain

[@mattphoenix4702]

Skyhold was actually Solas’s base of operations back when he was freeing slaves and avenging the murder of Mythal. It’s why he knew where it was, and that it existed. It’s implied that this is where Solas kept his body while he wandered the Fade. If you engage Morrigan in conversation after she joins you in Skyhold, she comments on how ancient the structure is, and that even the very stones it was built from are infused with magic. There would be no safer place for Solas to sleep the centuries away. So it can’t be any of the Origins keeps

[@bren8937]

Them graphics though. XD

[@tsstevensts]

One of the things you kind of have to wear for something that runs on 7th gen tech and not a 2016 custom Alienware Desktop 9, XL, Slim, Digital Deluxe Edition, PC Master Race Model.

[@SheyD78]

Damn Skyhold is the dumbest castle in the history of castles. It's in the middle of nowhere, guarding nothing, protecting only itself. Leagues from any kind of supplies, or support, or WATER. It is THE worst stronghold imaginable. So sad.

[@jakobfel2]

I just get annoyed by how any fantasy game or series with a blonde female protagonist is compared to Game of Thrones. Actually, I get annoyed by how any fantasy game or series is compared to Game of Thrones in general. I don't get the hype behind it, I really don't.

[@CheeseOfLore]

It was at this point that the entire Dragon Age Saga turned into a little, laughable Disney musical.

[@MrZiva82]

Song was disney level awfull, but castle reveal was great

[@oscarsaris3183]

Worst part about this part is that you can't skip through it. I have to alt-tab until it's over every playthrough on account of how toe-curlingly terrible this scene is.
