Dragon Age: Inquisition is a vast and complex RPG, and players often encounter questions regarding its mechanics, story, and technical aspects. This FAQ aims to address some of the most common inquiries, providing concise answers to help you navigate your journey as the Inquisitor and save Thedas from the encroaching darkness.
What is the main objective of the game? The primary goal is to close the Breach, a massive tear in the Fade, and stop the demons pouring into the world. You will lead the Inquisition, rebuild it from the ground up, and uncover the conspiracy behind the Conclave's destruction.
Who are the main companions? Your core companions include Cassandra Pentaghast, Solas, Varric Tethras, Iron Bull, Sera, Vivienne, Dorian, and Blackwall. Each has their own personal quests, loyalty missions, and unique dialogue that can influence their relationship with the Inquisitor.
How do I increase my Inquisition's Influence and Power? Influence is gained primarily through completing War Table missions, side quests, and main story objectives. Power is also gained through War Table missions and is used to initiate certain operations, including many that unlock new areas or provide significant advantages.
What are War Table missions? War Table missions are strategic operations that your advisors (Leliana, Cullen, and Josephine) undertake using the Inquisition's resources. They range from gathering intelligence and recruiting agents to unlocking new areas and resolving political disputes. They require Power to initiate and take varying amounts of time to complete.
How do I craft gear? Crafting is done at the various crafting stations found in Skyhold and other major hubs. You'll need schematics and crafting materials gathered from the world. Different materials affect the stats and appearance of the crafted items.
What are specializations? Specializations are advanced skill trees that become available to each class (Warrior, Rogue, Mage) later in the game. They offer unique abilities and playstyles, such as the Reaver for Warriors, the Artificer for Rogues, and the Knight-Enchanter for Mages.
How do I romance a companion? Romances are initiated through specific dialogue choices and actions throughout the game. Each potential romance option has a personal quest that must be completed, and consistent positive interactions are key to success.
