Dragon Age: Inquisition is crammed with Cheats, Secrets, and obscure Bioware references, as well as hidden clues to deep series lore.
The Old Gods[edit]
Reddit user sashimi_taco discovered that audio from a sequence in the Tmeple of Mythal, played backwards, reveals a secret of Dragon Age lore.
Spoilers Below!
As reported by IGN.com:
'Although there’s still some dispute over the exact words being heard, what can be made out is a game-changer.
Go to him, Dirth…Mythal speaks the calling…
Adam john songs mp3 free download. Halt… Blind…' or “The call is sweet, from the blood…
He is bound to the same…
Travel far…
Don't speak…
She speaks the truth…
She's fallen, lost…' or “She saw the lost…
The big news here is the line 'Mythal speaks the calling…' Mythal is an elven deity, however the calling – a song sang by Archdemons to call darkspawn to their side – has previously been linked with the Old Gods. What this means is an elven God, of sorts, could also be an Old God, resulting in two religious beliefs crossing over with one another.
As you may know, the Tevinter Imperium of old follow the teachings of the Old Gods and their quest to breach The Golden City, a place they perceive to be of power. The Dalish elves walk the path of Elven pantheon -- led by Elgar'nan the All-Father, and Mythal the Protector. And yet, Mythal seemingly fits into both stories; Mythal could be an elven Goddess and an Old God.'
Seducing Nobles For Fun[edit]
One of the rare instances in Dragon Age Inquisition where you can use your body for good instead of evil. During Josephine's Inner Circle Quest you have the option of gaining the favour of a member at court..through sex
Creating a Truce Between Orlais and Ferelden
Meeting the 'Hero of Ferelden'[edit]
Although the Hero of Ferelden doesn’t make a personal appearance in Dragon Age Inquisition he/she does send his/her love. After completing the Quest “Here Lies the Abyss” Lelianna offers to get in contact with the Warden. The Warden sends word back.
Contacting Zevran from Dragon Age Origins[edit]
After completing the first major story mission after Skyhold you have an opportunity (through Wartable missions) to make contact with an old friend of the Dragon Age series Zevran!
Quick Complete War Room Missions[edit]
On PS4 you can accept your missions in the war room, then change the system time ahead how ever many hours your longest mission is going to take to complete, go back in to the game and they are done. You do not have to save or quit the game, just accept the missions, press the PS button and go to system and manually edit the system time, then go back and accept the rewards for your now completed missions on the War Map. Don't forget to set your system time back to normal when you are done! It is currently unknown if this works on Xbox One. Works on PC with patch 1.3.
Meeting the Lovely Morrigan
[edit]
The lovely Morrigan is back in Dragon Age Inquisition she joins the team after the Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts Quests, although she is NOT a love interest
Meeting Connor in Reddcliffe[edit]
The small boy in Dragon Age Origins is all grown up and feels awful about causing so much mayhem and destruction
King Alistar and Queen Anora [edit]
Depending on the world state you choose, this scene can either be just Alistar or Anora. The pair are very mad at what the mages have done.
What Happened to Hawke's Companions[edit]
Your friends from DA 2 may not be at your side to battle demons, but they are alive in the world of Inquisition. Varric explains what the compaions from Dragon Age 2 are up to.
Dagna the Dwarf[edit]
Depending on how you treated her in Origins Dagna is BACK and in the mood to help the Inquisition
Item dupe and infinite gold glitch
[edit]
You can dupe stackable crafting materials at any merchant. All you need to do is mark your crafting materials you want to dupe to the 'valuables' and hit 'sell' and 'sell all' at the same time. Only stackable crafting materials can be duped and no herbs.
This works for all plattforms, on PC you will need a controller.(as of 01.12.2014).
Infinite Skill Point glitch
[edit]
You can get infinite skill points by refreshing a chest with an amulet of power. If you only loot the amulet of power and nothing else from a chest, you can refresh the area you're in and the amulet will respawn. The first good location to do this is Crestwood. You need to progress in the main story to unlock the mission 'a missing warden', then finish the quest 'still waters' and have the inquisition perk 'deft hands' for your rogue.
Instant maximum Inquisition perk points glitch
[edit]
You can max out your inquistion level very fast by buying certain items from the npc 'Farris the Representative'. By using the glitch you rebuy/resell the items and gain a lot of influence. Farris unlocks after the wartable mission 'price of power'. The Mission will pop up after doing the quest 'here lies the abyss'
Comments
Missions are optional objectives you can undertake at the War Table with your Inquisitor advisors, and are necessary to unlock new areas to explore, both for Side quests and main quests.
Some missions that can be found on the map take the form of a pyramid or other structure, and can be unlocked with a certain amount of Inquisition Power. These missions actually unlock new areas to explore, complete with their own quests.
Most other Missions (represented by the Sword and the Eye figure) present you with a task or problem in the area of either Ferelden or Orlais. You are able to choose one of your three advisors; Josephine, Leliana, or Cullen, to handle the mission in your stead. Most of these missions will take a pre-determined amount of real-world time to complete, and each advisor can only be tasked to one mission at at time.
Each advisor will pose a different solution to the problem, and there is rarely one single right way to complete the mission. There are however, certain missions that one advisor might have more expertise on, allowing them to complete the mission faster than other Advisors. There is also the possibility that the methods one advisor takes will offer you different rewards than that of another advisor. The way that these missions are undertaken often unlock new missions in the chain, with consequences not immediately foreseeable.

Area Unlocking Missions[edit]
Scout the Hinterlands[edit]
'Mother Giselle was last seen in the Hinterlands outside Redcliffe, tending refugees who fled the fighting between renegade templars and apostate mages. The latest reports suggest that the vicious struggle between the two groups has spread to the Hinterlands, catching the refuges - and Mother Giselle - in the middle. It is vital to protect her and, if possible, restore order to the area.'

An example missions connected with unlocking an new map area
In the previous installments of Dragon Age, you had freedom to explore the game world, virtually from the very beginning of the game. In Inquisition, the game world is huge, BUT you gain access to the individual parts gradually. At the very beginning, your party can visit only several initial areas. In order to unlock more, you need to complete quests that you activate on the map at the war room. The most important are the missions connected with the storyline, although there also are several optional areas which you do not need to visit at all costs. To learn more about using the war table, see the War Room page in the chapter entitled Inquisition Management.
Note - to complete missions connected with unlocking new areas, you often require lots of Power points. To be able to do this easily, try to amass these points from the very beginning of the game.
Completing an appropriate mission from the level of the war room leads to unlocking a new area in the game world, which will be brought to your attention. An example of this type of message has been presented in the screenshot above. At the same time, it is worth highlighting that the game always suggests that you journey to the newly-unlocked location immediately. I recommend that you do that; however, make sure that your party is ready for new challenges (experience level of your party members is not too low as in new locations you often encounter stronger monsters).
In some locations, there are areas that are inaccessible (destroyed bridges, collapsed passages), and there may be a quite vast area beyond. Once you locate such a place, it appears on your map in the form of a rectangular flag. Go there and mark it, by setting a flag in the marked spot. From now on, you will be able to - as is the case with unlocking the entire locations - unlock that area from the level of the war map, at the war room. Of course, this is going to cost you a certain amount of Power points.
With Total War: Three Kingdoms on the horizon, it could be a while until we get another foray into fantasy from the acclaimed strategy series. Total Warhammer is sure to make a comeback at some point, but to tide you over until then, a team of modders have been working to bring Dragon Age to Total War.
The mod, which you can check out over on ModDB (via PCGamer) is a “total conversion for Medieval 2 Total War: Kingdoms,” based on Bioware’s fantasy series. It features 21 factions from across the world of Thedas, each with its own fully kitted-out roster, resulting in around 350 unique units.
The team behind the mod says that their end goal is “to create a unique slant” on Bioware’s IP, and they say that there are plenty more stories hidden within the world. With that in mind, the mod “will attempt to portray the unique aspects, cultures, and nations” of Dragon Age, although it’s worth bearing in mind that you won’t get to explore it just yet.
The team says that plenty has been achieved on the 2D aspect of the mod, as well as its programming. The mod’s mapper, who goes by SoulGamesInc, says that their work on the Ferelden map is “more or less 90%” complete, and that they’ll be moving on to The Dales and Orlais next. The campaign map should be ready before the end of 2019.

If you’re itching for another Dragon Age fix, this is likely to be your best bet for a while. There’s no Dragon Age 4 release date just now, but we do know that the game was in the early stages of development in mid-2017. Much of Bioware’s energy over the past year or so, however, is likely to have gone into Anthem, and reports suggest that Dragon Age 4 won’t launch actually release until 2021. With that in mind, it’s either time to start up a trilogy-long replay, or start familiarising yourself with Total War.

- 3Charts and certifications
Music video[edit]
The music video was shot on April 7, 2010. A 30-second teaser was released and the music video was set to premiere in June 2010. However, it was delayed. The film features 30 Seconds to Mars as US soldiers deployed to Afghanistan. The video was supposedly leaked on April 1, 2011. In response to the leak, the band stated that they would release the full length video soon. On April 6, 2011, nearly a year after the video was shot, it was finally released. It shows the band dressed up as American soldiers patrolling the desert in an armored Humvee while showing scenes of war and leaders all while some unknown entity observes them and their action. Near the end of the video, various military vehicles (Humvees, tanks, fighter airplanes, helicopters, battleships) are flying seemingly uncontrollably above the men, towards a pile. The group's own Humvee gets sucked into the pile. The objects smashing into the pile get temporarily crushed but assume their normal un-crushed form after a second. As the camera shows the forming pile from afar, it is revealed that it forms into a huge pyramid, hovering over the desert. The video was directed by Edouard Salier. It won the Video of the Year Award on MSN Latinoamérica.[4]
