Its references are obvious and sometimes heavy-handed, but clear allegory aside, this vast and engrossing role-playing game effectively explores matters of faith and devotion on an intimate level, surrounding you with a multitude of people, each of whom navigates evolving religious turmoil in his or her own way. And just as with real-life matters of faith, there is not always a clear resolution.ĭragon Age: Inquisition does not draw subtle parallels between the Chantry and modern-day Christianity. The Maker may know, but His voice continues to go unheard, at least directly it is up to you, and those you influence, to decide whether you have been marked by a deity. Perhaps you are a chosen one perhaps you are merely fortunate. Many believe that the woman must be Andraste, the prophet whose doctrine inspired the rise of the Chantry, yet you have no memory of the event. As the game opens, you tumble from a rift in the sky, from which onlookers also see a glimpse of a woman. Just as Jesus of Nazareth was asked to answer to claims of his divinity, so too does Dragon Age: Inquisition ask you to respond to rumors of your own godhood.
