Dragon Age: Inquisition

Player's Review
Dragon Age: Inquisition is an action role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The third major game in the Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age: Inquisition is the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. The game was released worldwide in November 2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
The story of Dragon Age: Inquisition follows a player character known as the Inquisitor on a journey to settle the civil unrest in the continent of Thedas and close a mysterious tear in the sky called the "Breach", which is unleashing dangerous demons upon the world. The Inquisitor is viewed by some as the 'chosen one', as they have a 'Mark' on their hand capable of closing the Breach. The Inquisitor assembles the titular Inquisition in an attempt to stop Corypheus, an ancient darkspawn, who opened the Breach in the course of his attempt to conquer Thedas and achieve godhood.
Gameplay of Dragon Age: Inquisition is similar to its predecessors and mostly consists of elements found in a typical action role-playing game; players control their customized Inquisitor, and the companions they meet. They can defeat enemies with swords and magic, complete side quests, interact with non-playable characters, and progress through the main story. Players mainly control their protagonists in a third-person view, though a traditional role-playing game top down camera angle is also available.
This playthrough aims to focus on the story as much as possible, hence I stuck to the easy difficulty and worked to the best of my knowledge towards getting through each battle as quickly as possible. Also, I really dislike the combat in this game, so there's that.
It isn't a completely 100% run, but the only thing I chose to ignore were some of the collectathons in the game. I still slayed all dragons, collected all shards, closed all rifts, and did all actual side quests. And I reached the level cap with all characters, so really there was no point in going back and trying to find all the outstanding bottles and mosaic pieces.
Parts 1-10 cover the base game + The Descent DLC in part 10, while part 11 covers the Tresspasser DLC. Jaws of Hakkon are not covered in this playthrough because I can't stand that one.
