Hello guys, hope all of you are doing good!!
Saving A Queen
This is a part of the main objectives in the Orlais section. Costed about 20 power. The whole episode was too interesting that I didn’t want to leave and wanted to finish it in one go, came pretty close though.
At the War room table, the members discussed what their course of action should be, a dark cloud loomed over the Queen and would try to claim the life at the ball, the Inquisition was also invited.
They contemplated who was the assassin, was it Gaspard? Who opposed the Queen in some maters, who was a relative of his or was it somebody completely different.
At the Gala, the people had masks on. I was tasked to gain the popularity. The problem was: I was a Qunari. They didn't like the fact of that so I had a -15 popularity from the starting of 40.
I had an opportunity to find the lost ring of a noble woman but I thought: Why not do the opposite and see what happens? So I asked if she was doing it to get close to the Inquisition, instantly a -ve popularity of 5 was given.
I went round and round the place to discover and overhear the juicy gossips. There were additional side quests that I kept tabs on and found some on the way to the real party.
There, one by one, everyone was introduced to the crowd. They had to walk down a stage and say hello to the Queen.
When my turn approached, I went to the Queen and said that her life was at danger. She brushed it aside saying that I was hilarious and to stop joking.
After the formal events, I went ahead to find my Inquisition party members.
Cullen was proposed for marriage twice, Sera was not enjoying the party, Vivienne was enjoying the party. Josephine introduced me to her sister, another Montilyet. We chatted for a bit, she was excited to see the leader of the Inquisition in person.
Blackwall laid in the library and discuss about the surrounding.
More events started to develop as j went around the place, hearing useful gossips about nobles and the Queen.
Whenever I would take a route where no people of the party was present, my popularity would decrease. Game logic suggests, could not let it be 0. So, I had to make interactions with politicians and nobles and this gaining what I needed.
It didn't take me long find the hidden area of the place. I had to light 6 stone pillars inorder to open an underground storage room loaded with valuable and antic items.
Found traces of the plot to murder the Queen through Gaspard's hired merc. Not just once, multiple times! They had already infiltrated and we're ready at their stations, to proceed their attack.
I had the chance to speak with the land's ambassador, her name was Briala. She wasn't your average ambassador, she had certain "skillset". With her, I discussed about Gaspard's Chevalier's, that that chevaliers had killed a emmisary. He was planning to strike tonight.
With all the ingredients of assassination brewing, the Inquisitor called in a team meeting. There, we discussed our next course of action.
We knew somebody was gonna try and kill the Queen, question was: Would we let it happen.
After much thinking I decided to not let such a grieve crime be taken place, the standing of Orlais was be shaken to the ground, reducing their influence and all.
Albeit, I did want to see what would happen but didn't want to ruin it, should've saved the game first and then went for it. I would've done it if only I knew that I would be taking such a grave decision.
More to find in the next game!
Enjoy the gameplay!
