Ha! I got to the scene where Varric recalls his revenge on Bartrand, where he goes one-man army and wastes enemies with one shot. It's so fucking BioWare janky, like he's supposed to spit and there's literally nothing, not even the sound of spitting.

That being said, the quest is a primary example of something I love and hate about BioWare games: how things can be radically different based on who you bring with you.

For the first run, I brought my standard party of Hawke, Isabela, Merrill, and Varric. When you finally confront Bartrand, Varric is angry, accusatory, frustrated, and Hawke has to repeatedly reason with Varric to convince him to let Bartrand live. Yet then I read online that bring Anders can make Bartrand lucid again. So curious, I redo the mission but this time with Anders, and sure enough he casts some spell on him that makes Bartrand sane for a little bit, and it's amazing how quickly Varric becomes genuinely concerned and almost forgiving about it. It's such a massive shift in tone based on a decision you'll never even think of offhand.

Shit, I wasn't paying attention and I got in the point of no return with Merrill.

I'm honestly not sure who my Hawke would romance since she's so irreverent. Maybe Isabela because tiddies?

I love Isabela, but I seem to be in the minority on that one.

Judging by her skin color, so is she.

Ba-dum-tsh.

Isabela was hilarious. I just forgave her every time she betrayed me like "Oh, you!" and we had a good time.

I love having her and Varric in my party because they play off each other so well, and it really seems perfectly for SarcastiHawke. Problem is that the mage options are Anders or Merril.

Time for this shit to go off the rails.

Merril and Bela actually play off of each other pretty well, but yeah, I think I generally went mageless in my playthroughs..

People all feeling bad for Melia but Hawke just fucking loses everyone and pretty horrifically might I add.

I'm getting pretty excited about Inquisition, though. I'm finally gonna be running mage!

I'm having trouble mustering up the desire to restart this. Especially since it's not even necessary for Inquisition since there's no save data transfer.

I mean, how long have you got left? Act 3 is shorter than the others from what I remember.
