Skyhold's too big, man

zen_monk Not enough fast-travel stations for places, is my opinion.
One thing that made it really worth it was that the plethor of NPCs really helped livened the place up. Including absolute awesome favorite, Dagna~! May she and Scout Harding have many an enthusiastic conversation together of many things, and who may completely exhaust Varric with all her blathering about magic and enchantment and how awesome her research is.
As an appropriate second act, Skyhold is when people are really getting on with their character arcs and started to expand on their backstories and beliefs. Varric and Cassandra got more exciting once they start duking it out, among other plot point things, and the advisors finally got more scenes going on.
I say "Finally" as though it's been a long time coming or something, but considering how pretty much there aren't any banter happening and if there were they only amount to three sentences, the new cutscenes were a huge welcome.
It might be to my greatest achievement that I am pretty much done with all of the Hinterlands! All fade rifts done and I got that Druffalo coming along and killed bears... it was most satisfying. But from one wilderness, I moved on to another, and those Dales were really lush. Having a lot of mixed feelings on how this mission showed a lot of evidence of post-exalted march upon the Dales, what with all the Andrastrian statues mingling with the Dalish ones. Alll the humans establishing settlements and camps around, with dialogue going on about all these unknown statues that are totally known to my Elvhen Inquisitor and to Solas (both of whom don't have any banter that I know of yet being said at all when there). Also that giant mansion just stuck in the wilderness. Oh the blatant pride and boastfulness of humans.
