I Never Expected the Inquisition (Dragon Age Inquisition/Skyrim SI)

Also Personally I think there's not enough Dorian disbelief right here.
 
So how are you going to deal with sequence breaking? Which shouts do you remember or did you get a library.


Did she notice the fiction.


Strun Bah Qo something to never be used while your team is on the battlefield. It's a running spell to ruin the enemies day as you leave it behind.


Do you know the army spells and whirlwind form solstheim?
 
I wonder if Branka was allowed to use The Anvil of The Void from DA1, because now I'm imagining the Inquisition becoming allies with the Qunari and then sending one of their own crippled dwarves from the attack to become a Gun Touting Super Mech.
 
ha ha, praise talos. this fic is still very good. although im disappointed he didnt do the thing


also disappoint, no black powder anytime soon. no flintlock dovahkiin
otherwise the snip was excellent.
 
Well black powder isn't hard to make, so much as hard to make right without blowing yourself up. It also tends to be time consuming and expensive. Its harder on the guns then modern smokeless powder. Given a few months and some skilled smiths and alchemist/chemist fashioning crude musketry is not impossible but the trial and error to make things work well will take a kings random.

Also I am curious about how the clash of faiths may pop up, there are a number of violently religious people in the setting. Vic there is basically a self professed heathen buddying up with the local messiah. Generally when that much religion is thrown around things can get a bit complicated very quickly. Heck Cassandra has a shot at the local papacy. At the very least Vic is going to have a run in with a few would be missionaries.

Vic never claimed he can't figure out gunpowder. Just not modern gunpowder which is a lot more complex

Not really. The formula for gunpowder is just 3 ingredients found in most kitchens. 'Modern' gunpowder just has some treatment methods to make it burn better, and ways to bend a casing around a bullet. Most difficult thing would be the percussion caps in each bullet.

"Look my basic of gunpowder is to take what you get when piss dries up or saltpeter, sulfur which stinks like rotten eggs, and charcoal and mix, preferably through someone else in case it goes boom prematurely. Beyond that is not within my realm of scientific knowledge"
 
There is a lost more done to it than just some treatment methods to make it burn better in modern gunpowder. At least, in anything that would be usable by the gun he has. Firearms have a tolerance limit on what is expected for the gun to deal with when firing, and a mix with the wrong ratios, wrong balance, could easily cause a misfire, or even without a misfire it can easily damage or effectively destroy the weapon. ESPECIALLY a semi-auto like what Vic has. A revolver can generally deal with things better because of the design.

also you dont need modern gunpowder to make a decent rifle.
a smooth bore paper cartridge affair could work quite well.
there was a really good familiar of zero SI were the protagonist did something quite similar.
paper cartridges where the ignition was a tiny fire rune.
we also invented cartridges before smokeless powder (which is pretty much what modern guns use plus some extra treament/perfection)
 
Pretty sure Iron Bull will have to report it if you give the secret of gunpowder, and the quanari do NOT want to lose that monopoly- it IS one of their primary advantages over the Vints, after all, and moreover even disregarding potential retaliation either side coming out on top of that war would be bad.

Y'know that they will be looking into your past and when nothing comes up they will get more suspicious, leliana especially.

so, best to keep them fighting each other than let one side get an advantage?

Yup. Release the secret of gunpowder openly (i.e., to the extent of giving it to the soldiers - there will be enemy and ally spies among any given army), you risk it getting to the Vints, which leads to them winning since they would then have both their advantage of superior magic and the Qunari advantage of gunpowder. If Tevinter wins, then a country ruled by blood mages with a now-unoccupied decently sized army is suddenly free to turn its sights on those heathen followers of the female Divine in the South (and incidentally reclaim its place as ruler of Thedas). If the Qunari win, then a totalitarian fundamentalist regime with a now-unoccupied decently sized army is suddenly free to turn its sights on the heathens to the South and bring them under the Qun by force, something even Iron Bull reluctantly admits would not be a good thing for the more free-spirited Thedans.

It is theoretically possible that by opening up diplomatic relations with the Qunari via letting the Chargers die, the new diplomatic contact could be used to moderate their extremist positions (and Dorian represents a potential chance to reform Tevinter society for the better), but that's a very big maybe, risky, and requires letting good folks die (and Dorian doesn't really have much opportunity to do so at the moment).

Yay! This is back!

Theoretically it is possible to time travel using the thumm. After all, Akatosh is the God of time, in addition to father of dragons. In fact that is the entire reason why Tamriel dragons are such a problem. Time doesn't affect them as we know it.

Though it is likely that Akatosh doesn't like time travel shenanigans and deliberately goes against those who attempt it.

Also the Thumm, is boiled down to, "I substitute this reality with my own." with force of will as a factor.

Yeah, so the dragons aren't really breathing fire as they are ordering fire to exist in the first place.

Also remember, the closer you are to the thing you are calling with the Thumm, the more powerful it is.

Example: To bring forth fire, you have to be fire in human form. The more literal it is, the more power.

Goddamn this is starting to get trippy and now I am unhappy.
