Giant glowing green hole in the sky: check. Evil ancient Tevinters? Check. Red lyrium cropping up everywhere? Check. It was like the world had decided to just take a literal shit on itself, and while Hawke was all for scraping some off that shit back off a cliff, the Inquisition was... not what he’d expected.
Oh, it was impressive and organised, but it was also Revered Mothers and the Chant of Light and so far up itself politically that Hawke wanted to scream. It was all trying so very hard to be so very epic. Naturally, Varric was in his element, but Hawke? Hawke was happier busting heads.
And if the Inquisition had one thing, it was plenty of territory spread too thin, with far too little in the way of ground troops, which meant that when a village was being overrun with red Templars--which was always--Hawke could grab a dracolisk and his staff, maybe a few daggers for good measure, and put some of that energy to good use.
Maker knew if he had to listen to another benediction, he was going to emulate Andraste and light himself on fire.
