📋 About This Mod

Have you never completed the temple in the Forbidden Oasis because collecting 114 shards seemed masochistic? Have you ever wanted to replay the DLC but lost your save files? Then this is a save file for you!

I lost my old save files so during isolation I decided to replay the game from the beginning. All side quests and collections (Red Jenny Caches, Mosaics, etc.) have been completed. All that's left to do in the game is the Oasis temple, the DLC, and What Pride Had Wrought (Mythal's temple). I decided to end the save file there because whether you or Morrigan drinks from the Well of Sorrows has an impact on Trespasser DLC and I thought that decision should be yours. (especially since I prefer Morrigan to drink from the Well and I know that's not a popular choice).

DECISIONS MADE:

- Full alliance with the mages in Redcliffe (King Alistair and Queen Anora rule).

- All townspeople of Haven saved.

- Warden Stroud left in the Fade and Wardens exiled (Hawke travels with them to Weisshaupt).

- Empress Celene saved and reconciled with Ambassador Briala. Briala made Marquis of the Dales.

- Bull's Chargers saved. No alliance with the Qunari (Bull is Tal-Vashoth).

- Iron Bull and Dorian are in a relationship.

- The Inquisition was declared for the Inquisitor ("because it's what's right").

- High approval with all companions. Eg. Cookies with Sera, Vivienne gave Formari ring.

- Softened Leliana will be your Divine, but the War Table mission to support Vivienne is available. (I'm sorry I got caught up in roleplaying and Cassandra's is not available).

- Blackwall will be sent to the Wardens once Corypheus is defeated.

- Cole is more spirit, and let go of his and the templar's pain.

- Vivienne was given the heart of a snowy wyvern.

- Cassandra will reform the Seekers.

- Dorian left before speaking privately with his father.

The Inquisitor is in a romance with Solas. However, you still have the option to break up with him after What Pride Had Wrought is completed (before he gives you the option to remove your vallaslin). If you choose to break up with him, I believe you can still romance Sera as I've been flirting with her throughout. As far as I know, Cullen's romance also remains available.

LEVELLING AND GEAR:

The Inquisitor and companions are at the max level of 27. There is ample coin to re-spec them using the amulets available for purchase in the Undercroft. I focused on their specialisations in order to make their gameplay more unique. The Inquisitor is a Knight Enchanter.

I have also crafted Tier 4 armour and weapons for everyone and tinted it to match their casual or starting gear so they each have their own look (see images). In your inventor

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the save file in your Dragon Age: Inquisition save folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age Inquisition/save).
  • Make a backup of your current save before overwriting, so you don't lose progress.
  • Load the save and check your inventory and quest log—since it's from 2020, some DLC items might not carry over.
