Ferelden Quests
Ferelden quests are central to the Dragon Age: Inquisition narrative, often intertwining with the main questline and offering numerous opportunities for Influence gain. Players should prioritize completing side quests and exploring regions like the Hinterlands before advancing critical main story missions to avoid missing content and achievements.
The main quest "In Hushed Whispers" becomes available after completing all other Side Quests and exploration in the Hinterlands, Storm Coast, Fallow Mire, and Forbidden Oasis. This marks the time to continue the Main Questline.
Before proceeding with the main questline, particularly "In Your Heart Shall Burn," ensure you speak with all companions and resolve any unfinished business in Haven. Continuing past this point will void any remaining Side Quests in Haven. "In Your Heart Shall Burn" requires 1 Power at the War Table to initiate.
Earning the achievement for completing 50 missions will come naturally through gameplay. Consistently have your three Agents (Josephine, Leliana, and Cullen) actively completing Operations on the War Table. Additionally, complete all Side Quests you encounter, as these contribute to the achievement.
Influence can be gained from various activities:
- Side Quests
- Operations
- Turning in Research
- Specific decisions
- Completing Requisitions
- Main Quests
Players aiming for completion will find it easy to reach Rank 10 Influence, as there is ample opportunity throughout the game. Many players reach around Rank 17 by the game's conclusion.
For the main quest "What Pride Had Wrought," it is advised not to continue the main questline immediately. Avoid the mission node on the War Table, as there are missable achievements associated with this quest, not due to lack of exploration, but specifically during these main quests. For those who wish to skip ahead, refer to the Main Quest description in Sequence #17.
