This quest annoys me. A lot. So far, I've never done it. I intend to try with another character at some point. I originally thought I'd try it with my human noble for RP, but he's a relatively nice (and rather religious) guy, so I feel like the disrespect of desecrating an ancient burial site, even if it's a culture he may not understand, is still a bit too much. I mean, I don't see a problem with being able to do it as an option, I guess. I just feel like that being the only solution to the "puzzle" is kind of stupid. Hell, at least don't lock the damn mosaic piece behind it. I don't even need the loot.

On this playthrough, I managed to exploit the mount glitch that lets you clip through the door of the crypt without destroying the graves, just to retrieve the mosaic piece. Also, found out too late that there is a mod for this.

#Dragon Age #Dragon Age: Inquisition #DAI #as somebody who mains the Dalish Warden and who spent considerable time also playing Lavellan #let me just say that I'm not a fan of how especially DAII and DAI treat the Dalish sometimes #to me it feels like DAII was determined to ruin and pretty much wipe out the Dalish elves #not only they're kinda stupid and incompetent in that game #but on my first playthrough I did not know I had to treat Merrill like a literal fucking child to save MY OWN Warden's clan #the first time I ended up having to fight them and kill them #THAT WAS JUST GREAT #THAT MADE ME LOVE THE GAME EVEN MORE #THAT WAS MY WARDEN'S FAMILY #I was so pissed #I just had to turn it off at that point and take a break #it was one of the several reasons why I disliked DAII so much on my first playthrough #and in DAI you can easily accidentally end up leading your whole clan to their deaths as an elf and nobody has a damn thing to say about it #you can just go through the first three games wiping out each of the Dalish clans #I guess I can forgive being able to do it in Origins because it was the first game and there it is a CHOICE that had actual consequences #your companions argue with you about it‚ ask you not to do it #ZEVRAN ASKS YOU NOT TO DO IT #you lose approval at the very least #you lose allies #it's there for RP #but in DAII and DAI it just boils down to a fucking OOPSIE unless you have meta knowledge of the game or you're lucky #AND I DO NOT LIKE IT #but you know what? let's destroy Dalish graves too #''why don't Dalish elves follow Solas in Veilguard?''#IDK maybe because the three previous games may have annihilated most of them lmao
