I've now finished DA:I and have a completed World State in the Keep for DA4. I will say that, out of the three games (Origins, 2, and Inquisition) I think that the Inquisition party feels the closest to me. Like they're the ones I feel would actually want to stay together after all was said and done, helped I think by the fact that so many say that's what they want (with Sera almost starting to cry if you have the Inquisitor tell her that Skyhold will always be her home if she needs it). With Origins, it really felt like everyone was there and working together purely because of the mission to stop the blight and no other reason. With 2, it felt like they were there and working together because they lived in Kirkwall and wanted to make their lives easier. But with Inquisition, everyone who was there chose to be there, and sure it was for a cause . . . but also we got bonding scenes like them playing Wicked Grace together, or eating cookies up on rooftops. Even when they fought with each other, I felt a real closeness there. Like it was them against the world (which it kind of ends up being during the Exalted Council).

Of course, this is just all my opinion, and it's possible that this had something to do with how the personalities of each character developed over my playthroughs, as well as the fact that I found it a bit hard to track people down in Kirkwall sometimes and as such didn't bond with my companions as much as I would have wanted. (RIP Fenris, I missed the opportunity to do your character quest and so you died 😔). But at the end of DA:I Trespasser, I had the Inquisition stay together not just because that's what my Trevelyan wanted (as making the world a better place / helping people is very important to her), but also because I didn't want to see the squad break up, even though they had to break up a little due to responsibilities elsewhere in the world anyway. It's just how they made me feel.

#for those wondering - you know the Blue - Purple - Red metric in DA2? that's kind of how my characters were #with my Warden being Red - Hawke Purple - and Inquisitor Blue #Lyra Mahariel did NOT want to be a Warden and did NOT want to fight the blight and did NOT want to be there #she also never wanted to be Warden-Commander either. she bounced as soon as she could to find an end to the calling #bc she also doesn't want to die from smth she had no choice in #her opinion was ''fuck this fuck you fuck everything'' and she was not afraid to kill at all #meanwhile Briar Hawke was snarky and 100% the type to bant in the face of death. she did what she had to for her family & friends #she didn't do what she did bc of some sense of justice or obligation; she did it bc she fucking lived there (there being Kirkwall)#and she really just wanted things to settle down so she could have some drinks and play Wicked Grace w/ her friends #unfortunately things didn't always work out that way but hey. at least she could quip while dealing with the issues #and lastly Lucia Trevelyan lived a sheltered and also mostly easy life as the youngest noble in her family #whom no one really expected anything of and she also expected nothing from herself #so it was hard to believe at first that she was Chosen - but she and her family are faithful so she did #and even when the truth came out she kept it up bc she wanted to believe that there was *some* reason for this and even if there wasn't #her sheltered life led her to be sickened by needless violence and killing and she wanted to make the world a better place #she was gentle when the world let her be. kind when the world let her be.#even now she just wants to help. she got a long great w/ Cole tbh
