Runup to Inquisitor Appreciation Week - 7 Days to Go!

One week is left till the Inquisitor Appreciation Week! And like with Warden and Hawke Appreciation, we are starting with a series of posts allowing you a chance to introduce your Inquisitor.

I have decided to mix it up a bit this year, focusing a bit more with those questions on your Inquisitor's decisions during the game.

But today, on the first day of the Runup Week, let's start with the most basic of questions: Who is your Inquisitor? Who were they before they became the Inquisitor? Introduce them to us!

Reblog this post with your answer or introduce your Inquisitor in a different post and tag this account (@daheroweek)! We will do our best to reblog!

At some point, power becomes its own master. We cast aside our ideals in favor of expedience and tell ourselves it was all necessary. For the people.

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

Given how symbolic the Inquisition made the Mark on the Inquisitor's hand, with the common people asserting it was some sort of blessing from the Maker, I really feel like there must have been massive political/religious backlash when they showed up back through the Eluvian missing the lower half of their arm.

It's not like they could tell the rank and file, much less the Orlesian Court, that actually it was raw/uncontrollable magic that was killing the Inquisitor until taken back by an ancient Elven diety.

Instead, it looks like the Maker is taking back their gift.

Maybe the Divine gets very good very fast at spewing some like about it being a sign of the Maker's love or Mercy because humans physically cannot bear divinity forever without pain, with the exception of the Holy Andraste. Or even that the Inquisitor had reached the turning point where they had to choose to ascend with the Anointed or remain to do the Maker's work in Thedas and they chose the latter. Depends on your Inquisitor and who you made Divine.

But God, the talk had to be awful after... and not just while the Inquisitor is suffering but about their suffering, so there's really no escape.

I almost would say I want to be a fly on the wall for those religious/political discussions, but there's a good chance I would be cringing with sympathy the whole time.

From the "new to gardening" category: I watch as new waves of weeds transpire from the bottom. Once I tore out most nettles after winter, it was more young nettles at first, then the parthenocissus and ivy on the fence went rampant. Then tall grass from the block's backyard came in, and a shit ton of plantains. I had to cull the plantains aggressively since they threatened my flower patch until the flowers grew taller than the weeds. I'm still trying to save some because the soil is very rich in clay and it clumps easily into a hard surface when untouched. So now, under the plantains, I see singular clumps of common grass and purple clover, and a few stray vines that look kinda like sweet pea (vetch?). I think it's gonna be quite nice next year if I selectively leave some of these weeds alone.

god the anchor deterioration was so good. remember how terrifying that was when you had no idea what was going on, and every once in a while the inquisitor would spontaneously hiss and flick their hand in first surprise and then pain, and then suddenly control over them would be fully wrested from your hands as they writhed and cried out in agony, and the music was a drumming heartbeat in your ears, and finally you could see it fragmenting and dissolving with shreds of it drifting off in the breeze like it was nothing more than vapor after a detonation. yeah.
