Dragon Age: Inquisition - The Inquisition Marches

[@ChicaDelSol33]

This scene is so dramatic it's awesome. First you have Josie throwing down the chips like a hustler and then intensely writing letters. Then you see Leliana sending off spy hawks and posing like a boss ready for a broody covershoot. Then you see Cullen pause and dramatically push his chip in place and then walk up to lead his troops like freakin' Simba climbing Pride Rock. Plus you get the added bonus of seeing all the people from different regions that you recruited over time rallying together and getting all stabby with maps (what IS it with video games and map stabbing?). It's slightly corny, super dramatic, and perfectly Dragon Age (which means I love it).

[@Gargaoylich]

Most of their epic moves are cool, but pointless.

[@Year_of_the_Dell]

I believe the knife crew are basically field Vanguard staking their units position when the fighting goes down

[@voloaquila]

I see that map stabbing is a popular thing to do in Thedas

[@general2109]

Considering how expensive maps must have been to make, you'd think they'd take better care of them. And don't forget they couldn't have been too common in the first place! haha

[@wolfhead21]

It provides a new tactical layer of difficulty to the moving of little statues over a piece of paper without facing any serious injuries, otherwise it would be too easy.

[@LostMercenary99]

voloaquila Unless your Cassandra who won't settle for anything less stabbing your books.

[@ffflustered9qr]

This entire montage is just brilliant, especially because of the high quality of the graphics. The music also really takes the cake, it's very grave and epic. (Leliana had maybe the coolest shot, though)

[@josiahhunt4993]

Does anyone else think that Cullen at 1:20 seems like the Uruk-Hai commander at the beginning of the Battle of Helms deep? Standing on his rock while hordes of troops march past... Epic.

[@1Drakorn]

I literally JUST thought about that before I came across your comment!

[@TCMusic-iv4nd]

Josiah Hunt Knowing Bioware, this is most likely intentional.

[@eji]

urghh, seeing Cullen personally leading his part of the army gets me all hot and bothered

[@taylorgallagher5727]

I get almost emotional with this scene. All the work and effort all coming together so beautifully, with the music that absolutely kicks ass. So cool.

[@tlotpwist3417]

*stabs map* Some scribe in the back: "Hey!! I spent four weeks drawing that shit, have some fucking respect!"

[@desidono]

Leliana is so badass.

[@Moumoku-Kage]

Epic. No other words.

[@hilarytaber6138]

It's hard to say which scene I love more: this or "Journey to Skyhold". They are both SO good, supported by such amazing scores.

[@hernan0612abel]

Oh my God, the soundtrack is so epic!

[@Zerosiphon]

thats why I bought the deluxe edition sou I could get it... I'm obsessed with it... I can't stop playing or listening

[@TheMrmacmac]

kinda wish there was more to this somehow.. Like maybe there was a mission to stop a coup in Denerim against King Alistair/Queen Anora (or both) and the results of that are reflected in this scene, where Alistair/Anora or both lead Fereldan Soldiers into battle, (maybe even a scene where Alistair puts on a Grey Warden helmet to go into battle) or depending on whether or you saved the mages or the templars you see either one (mages): Fiona leads her forces from Skyhold (templars): Ser Barris leads the templars against their enemies in battle

[@maxrander0101]

well it could be modded in but it would take skill

[@catnoirlover1719]

So truee

[@A104070]

I cried the first time I saw this in-game.

[@SOWALOLA]

António Almeida Me too

[@peau_quand]

Me too !

[@ronanmurphy8336]

I have no words for Cullen's march, the music gives me chills every time.

[@schiz5674]

Is it sad that I think this still one of my favourite gaming greatest cinematics of all time? Yes it's too brief BUT after all those loooong the hours collecting bloody elfroot and slaying demons, dragons, red-templars, rogue mages etc etc it is the perfect cinematic to get you going again (like the starting cinematic when you and the gang declare the Inquisition officially open at Heaven).

[@GeekyGirls92]

LOVE THE MUSIC!!!

[@pavlenikic9712]

i think they should make dragon age inquisition movie. best game i played after skyrim era.

[@willl676]

Agreed, Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition followed by a modded Skyrim made some of my best gaming experiences.

[@joeymitchell2862]

Skyrim is one of the worst RPGs ever imo. Game world is lame, not nearly as diverse or scenic as comparable AAA titles like Dark Souls or Dragon Age Inquisition. Game play is horribly repetitive and clunky, not engaging at all. No diversity in enemies, the dungeons all look the same, and have the same skeleton and human enemies copy+pasted in. Story is the worst part, can't believe there are people in this world that actually think Skyrim is a story-driven video game. mediocre writing, and hands down the WORST voice acting in AAA gaming history. Could still be carried by decent writing or character development despite having 3 voice actors, but it's still the worst atmosphere of any "story-based RPG" it really has nothing that interests me, most overrated game I've ever played. The Witcher 3 and Inquisition are timeless masterpieces that neither one should ever be compared to Skyrim, both are vastly superior. They are still not as good as the pinnacle masterpiece Baldur's Gate 2.

[@OurlostIsland]

I would have been a lot more satisfied with this game if the montage had just included scenes that signified your choices mattered. Even a 5 second scene of the Grey Wardens or Mages or Templars, depending on who you gathered.

[@ChrisDeebo]

They show up taking part in the battle at the Arbor Wilds Did you actually play the game -_-

[@ΗλίαςΠαναγιώτηςΜητσιογιάννης]

OurlostIsland You can see either the mages or templars fighting in the actual mission, the wardens do not join you in the arbor wilds since they are vulnerable to Corypheus mind control.

[@Zenkx]

OurlostIsland I saw these guys while I explored the Wilds before I got to the Temple entrance: Inquisition soldiers Orlesian Soldiers (from Celene/Gaspard) and Elven rouges (from Briala... or at least that's what I saw) Grey Wardens (if you told them to stay and help instead of Exiling) The Bull's Chargers (if you let them live, I met Krem on the way to the temple but he didn't say anything. I don't know if you'll have Qunari fighters if you sided with the dreadnaught in Bull's mission [because I love the Chargers way too much]) The Mages or the Templars (depends on which mission you did) I think I spotted the Blades of Hessarian there once too.

[@maxrander0101]

@@ΗλίαςΠαναγιώτηςΜητσιογιάννης they do in the back field not in the full battle they are seen aiding troops behind your lines and also keeping other enemy factions from sending in more enemy troops

[@emackenzie]

@@ChrisDeebo they were talking about within this scene itself lmfao

[@TCMusic-iv4nd]

While I'm generally appreciative of the music in "Inquisition," I think there is opportunity wasted here. See, I wish each adviser has his/her own little motif (Leliana's can be her theme from the "Leliana's Song" DLC, for example), and I wish those motifs can be layered under the Inquisition theme as each of them plays their part in the Arbor Wilds assault.

[@willm3856]

I believe the character themes had to be non-existent because of their characters and personalities already fulfilling their roles in-game

[@sasakelala3360]

no. These three build a unity. You can see it in the tiny figures. All three have some and in the end they stand together. They are the core advisors of your inquisition. They unite, with each playing to their strengths. Having one song shows their combined forces, shows the united force of the inquisition. Your inquisition. So it makes perfect sense.

[@Aleesaneenja]

All the Orlesians appear to be left-handed...

[@mandydnadie5426]

CHILLS EVERY TIME

[@keshavanmcneil]

One of my favorite things ever. I use this as music for running and weight lifting.

[@starlet6689]

Still amazing after all this time

[@Lucas-iw5xo]

I love Josie's face xD

[@koffeeyka5089]

I was wondering if the soldier woman at the end is the same one that we've seen singing the Dawn Will Come chant at the begginning? She looks kinda the same

[@MrMetalcraig]

I like to think that she's the one you met with Bull when you first get to Skyhold. No named NPC dies on my watch! XD

[@varric]

Pretty cinematic, but is still second to the Warden's Army March in DAO.

[@Kay2kGer]

indeed

[@torachan23]

So gangsta.

[@Blindluck92]

So... (sniff)... *awesome*!

[@OmbrogBox]

the song is perfect

[@loron1989]

this is one of the best scenes in the game.. i love it so much.. my personal favourite is when leliana is standing there.. her smile is so.. i don't know how to say.. i am waiting that she says "muahahaha!" xD

[@MsRedfield97]

I personally think this is the greatest cutscene in the game...XD

[@generalRAAM95]

I like this scene very much. It would be the best in all of DA saga, if it weren't for the much more emotional March to Denerim. Still, a solid second place is nothing to be ashamed of.

[@vnweeb5343]

poor maps

[@pancakeboi3096]

It's ok. The maps were demon spies that Coriphyfish sent

[@phantommangagirl]

Freaking epic.

[@LionHeart-Gaming]

never seen this cutscene in the game so this was new :P and awesome

[@JuliusSkovPetersen]

Oh my god this is epic

[@Striker345ify]

Wouldn't it be more awesome to see the Red Templars run out of the tents burning to death? That would make the sabotage scene much sweeter to see your foolish enemies paying their dues~

[@TheDramaCrew1]

This is my favourite part of the game

[@Fitzian]

Loved this scene

[@karrypto86]

what about the actual mission in the elven ruin ? I suppose it involves having morrigan as a temporary companion like Hawke was previously.

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

Yes Morrigan comes with you like Hawke, Warden and Cullen in other missions.

[@thomascampbell3179]

why is it that the inquisition soldiers armor looks absolutely ridiculous? everybody else's armor looks cool, but ours looks goofy

[@hinatahyuga9311]

And just like the Saying (THE MIGHT OF ROME)

[@edilbertobrasil7018]

1:13 !!!

[@stephen8805]

Feel like they should’ve this for the final battle. The last boss fight was extremely disappointing. We didn’t really get to see a large battle in this compared to DAO.

[@Scottx125Productions]

Really cool, just annoys me how the standards are so statics and how the one handed swords are so damned big..

[@bigbadcatbigbcy2933]

EPIC

[@Aedrion-]

And then there's some skirmishes in the woods, no sight of an actual battle. Why did we even need an army? Does the other side have one? And it all ends with no conclusion to the battle anyhow but flying through a mirror. When this happened I was hyped, then my hype turned into disappointment.

[@j.ackermann9110]

1:00 Doing some war crimes...

[@pirotess2]

+J. Ackermann It's not, its complete normal in medieval warfare and especially doing it on cult/demon enemies.

[@neilladriaansen]

Seems like a perfectly valid tactic to me. In war you do whatever it takes.

[@Kornilovite]

They were burning their own tents to cover their tracks, at worst this is insurance fraud

[@neilladriaansen]

Liam Grogan They were burning red templar tents, not their own tents lol

[@j.ackermann9110]

I know it's not a war crime if there are no laws, but if we use our laws today, it's a war crime. There could be red templars in the tents...

[@starlet6689]

why does everyone in Thedas hate maps?!!

[@Aluafaen]

legio inquisitor!!

[@A104070]

I cri ever tim :')

[@Natgunner]

While epic, the tactics displayed on this map are atrocious when you consider the assets at play.

[@rramos117]

Dragon Age Veilguard: You can pick your pronouns at the start of the game.

[@redbulltaco4209]

thats like not even close to the main problems of that game

[@steffent.6477]

I love this cutscene but the battle itself was pretty boring.

[@wolfbounddrawolf]

Your missing quite a few armies there my lady

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

Wait what? It's always the same cinematic, armies don't matter or am I missing something?

[@wolfbounddrawolf]

FluffyNinjaLlama did u allow the wardens to live or die

[@wolfbounddrawolf]

FluffyNinjaLlama also there should be one or two more armies from what I've seen on twitch

[@wolfbounddrawolf]

FluffyNinjaLlama my mistake this is the battle for when u fight the wardens not the end battle.

[@darknightingale16]

I always get this cinematic no matter what i choose as well. This is the arbor wilds march not the wardens
