I thought that there is so little activity here, that maybe we will benefit from some QaA:) Probably most of us have completed DAI at least twice by now, I am currently on my fourth or fifth playthrough. Beware of spoilers, of course! I will pose my general questions here and then answer them in a next post. I encourage you to do the same:) Did you save all people in Haven? What's you favorite class and race and why? What's your favorite romance? Mages or templars - what's your choice and how do you feel about it? Conscripted or allied? Favorite companion? Favorite advisor? Which area do you prefer? Which one is the most annoying and why? What's your favorite main quest? Did you drink from the Well? Who do you choose to be the next Divine? Do you prefer the softened or hardened Leliana? Have you spared Blackwall? Who dies - Hawke or Stroud? What about the Wardens, what was their fate on your playthrough? Have you encountered a game breaking bug? What in your opinion should be implemented in the game, but it's not? Have you completed at least one of the in-game collections - mosaics, bottles, scattered Varric's books? What was the biggest surprise? Your favorite scene? The most emotional moment? How do you imagine DA IV? Maybe you have some other questions to add? Let's talk!

Actually I've been so busy that I've only managed to complete it once when it first came out XD But I'll see what I can recall Did you save all people in Haven?Yes! Took some reloading to get them all in time... What's you favorite class and race and why?Well, I played a Dalish elven mage and my next run was going to be a Qunari mage. Generally I just like to try different races and classes out though. The elves having the most potential romances available is what made me pick one of them first. I do loove the elven history and think the Qunari have great potential appearance-wise (which is sadly wasted in the character creator). What's your favorite romance?Only tried Solas, from a few glances on Youtube though it seemed Cullen had the most actual content in his. Mages or templars - what's your choice and how do you feel about it? Conscripted or allied?Mages allied most of the time unless I have a very templar-friendly character Favorite companion?I think I kept Solas in my party most of the time since he was a romance so I probably saw the most of him. Favorite advisor?Josephine was quite lovely Which area do you prefer?Can't recall many, I think some of the elven ruins were really nicely done. Which one is the most annoying and why?Area? It's a mix between the huge sprawling Hinterlands and that Oasis place with the absolutely painful shard locations on various levels. Companion? I absolutely could not stand Vivienne. What's your favorite main quest?I can't actually recall most of the main quests XD Did you drink from the Well?Yup! Who do you choose to be the next Divine?Leliana. Do you prefer the softened or hardened Leliana?Hardened, though she does get a bit... extreme Have you spared Blackwall?Yup. Who dies - Hawke or Stroud?Stroud! What about the Wardens, what was their fate on your playthrough?I can't remember which continuity I was using for my first DAI game. Of my two main storylines one Warden is alive and the other Warden is dead. I think I probably used the dead one. Have you encountered a game breaking bug?Many because I played it around release What in your opinion should be implemented in the game, but it's not?There were many many things I found lacking in the game when I played it, I've forgotten most of them now. Have you completed at least one of the in-game collections - mosaics, bottles, scattered Varric's books?Probably not. I was studiously collecting them all but then at one point I just started getting bored out of my mind and went 'stuff this' and raced ahead to complete the game as fast as I could. What was the biggest surprise?I don't know about surprise, but it was awesome finding out that all the Elven gods were much darker than the elves thought. Your favorite scene?I think the final Solas romance moment (you know, one of the few scenes of his that was exclusively for his romance and not just a normal scene with one or two extra lines added) was pretty if I'm recalling correctly. The most emotional moment?I don't think any of it made me emotional, though the above was clearly meant to. How do you imagine DA IV?Absolutely no idea, especially now that Gaider has left. Will be interesting to see how that changes things. Maybe you have some other questions to add?My brain is currently mush from the heat and in no state to think up extra questions I'm afraid XD

Did you save all people in Haven?
Yes, I do it every time, even if it takes a couple od reloads, because Minaeve keeps on dying!
What's you favorite class and race and why?
Elven mage probably. Now I'm playing an elven rogue with two swords and it's OK, but I miss launching fire mines from a distance;)
What's your favorite romance?
Cullen is the longest and sweetest one, but Solas is my chosen one. Two or free more dialogues from him and a repeated kiss scene - and I will be overly happy. It is also the most complex and sad one, just like Solas as a character is.
Mages or templars - what's your choice and how do you feel about it? Conscripted or allied?
Both on two different playthroughs and both allies. I just don't feel comfortable to force people into helping. Generally I prefer mages, and the last part of the templars' quest is really a pain in the ass (blasted timer, how I hate this thing!)
Favorite companion?
Cole, Varric and Solas. I actually like all of them, excluding Vivianne and Sera, I cannot stand them and don't even recruit them anymore. With the others I always have maximum friendship, even with Dorian after siding with the templars:)
Favorite advisor?
Josephine is by far my favorite. I think she is adorable. There's a scene in the Champions of the Just quest that literally broke my heart, when she desperately weeps in a cell.
Which area do you prefer?
Crestwood, Exalted Plains and Western Approach.
Which one is the most annoying and why?
Emprise du Lion! I always got lost there and run in circles like a fool. Also, Hissing Wastes, plain boring (the moon is georgeus though).
What's your favorite main quest?
Winter Palace, even with the timer. Also, the Fade.
Did you drink from the Well?
No, Morrigan did and I'm happy with that.
Who do you choose to be the next Divine?
Cassandra and I'm happy with this choice too.
Do you prefer the softened or hardened Leliana?
Actually I can't compare, I've always softened her so far. BTW, I love Leliana as a character in DAI. She is changed, matured, more bitter, but also wise and resourceful.
Have you spared Blackwall?
Yes, and granted him a pardon as well.
Who dies - Hawke or Stroud?
Why, Stroud of course! On this run, I was tempted for a moment to let Hawke go and explore the Varric's grief arc afterwards, but it just felt so wrong.
What about the Wardens, what was their fate on your playthrough?
They were invited to join the inquisition.
Have you encountered a game breaking bug?
Not exactly game breaking, but annoying. If you bring Blackwall with you in Crestwood, there is a possibility that the game will crash everytime he starts a fight and then you are screwed, the situation will repeat itself with Blackwall every time on other locations. If you do not have a save handy, you've got to retract or lose Blackwall.
What in your opinion should be implemented in the game, but it's not?
I would love to exchange banters with my companions during quests, not only in Skyhold. I also would love the opportunity to have both parties - templars and mages, like one as an ally, one as a conscripted partner. And to collect more healing potions. And more of Solas' romance, of course.
Have you completed at least one of the in-game collections - mosaics, bottles, scattered Varric's books?
No, and not for the lack of trying, believe me.
What was the biggest surprise?
Probably how big this game actually is and how many possibilities for a replay are there (for me is just theory though - I tend to stand firmly by my original choices every time, that's why I will probably always romance Alistair and always as a human noble in DAO).
Your favorite scene?
The party is presented at court - those Cassandra's names! Advisors' reaction to the Inquisitor's romance with Bull (I only know it from YT. I have never romanced Bull, but the scene is hilarious). Both of Solas kisses. Cullen saying "you said that". Cassandra, Varric and "Sword and Shields" (LOVE IT!). Playing wicked grace.
The most emotional moment?
Reaching Skyhold for the very first time and "The Dawn will come".
How do you imagine DA IV?
Honestly I don't know. But I hope it's more the direction of DAI than DA2 and more and more lore, companions, romances and interactions and building the world aroung you:) But you know me, I am always more for the story than the fights.

Did you save all people in Haven? Usually yes. But sometimes Seggrit kicks the bucket.
What's you favorite class and race and why? Archer rogues because of back flips and tiny explosives. Dwarves/Elves because they are cute and tiny.
What's your favorite romance? Iron Bull. He's large, funny and delightfully accepting and dirty.
Mages or templars - what's your choice and how do you feel about it? Conscripted or allied? I usually side with the templars and pretty much always conscript on both sides.
Favorite companion? Sera. She's funny and energetic.
Favorite advisor? Josephine, because she's so sweet and has a pleasant voice.
Which area do you prefer? The Hissing wastes. The dark night sky, pale white moon and frolicking Autumn Rams are really nice.
Which one is the most annoying and why? The Exalted plains. The color scheme is awful, the corpse pits are a bother to navigate and burn and the whole area is just really depressing.
What's your favorite main quest? Wicked eyes, wicked hearts. Dancing with Florienne, murdering Tevinters and gossiping with Orlesian are my three favorite past times.
Did you drink from the Well? Usually no, but some characters do.
Who do you choose to be the next Divine? They all have their strenghts and flaws, but I usually go for the most neutral of the bunch, Cassandra.
Do you prefer the softened or hardened Leliana? Softened by far. The other one spouts evil monologues like a dork, refuses to obey orders and is just annoying in general.
Have you spared Blackwall? Yes. Both as a warden and a free man. I've also left him in the cell, not befriended him and not recruited him. I suppose I like the free man fate the best.
Who dies - Hawke or Stroud? Hawke usually stays in the Fade, but sometimes the warden friend stays instead.
What about the Wardens, what was their fate on your playthrough? I usually let them stay. The world needs it's heroes and all that. And the plan was decent for a crazy, last chance assault.
Have you encountered a game breaking bug? Nope. Not that I know of.
What in your opinion should be implemented in the game, but it's not? Spontaneous hugs for all the companions.
Have you completed at least one of the in-game collections - mosaics, bottles, scattered Varric's books? Yes, the mosaics and the bottles.
What was the biggest surprise? I think I had most of the main plot spoiled for me. But I was surprised about Blackwalls crime, since I was expecting a much more gorier and personal crime than what happened.
Your favorite scene? Dancing with Florienne at the Winter Palace. The most emotional moment? Going through Darvaarad in Trespasser with an Inquisitor who genuinely thought he was going to die but couldn't bring himself talk about the possibility with Iron Bull.
How do you imagine DA IV? Tevinter, hot sands, wine and political intrigue.
Bonus Question Who rules Orlais now? Have you got a favorite crafting material? (Plaidweave, wink wink) Is Cole a spirit or a human now? Favorite Bard Song, if any?
