Having Some Confusion With The Story. Can Anyone Explain To Me Please?

Hello.

First of all, I just had a quick peak through the list of queries on here, and it seems that most people on here have posted regarding technical problems with the game.

I don't have any technical problems, but rather with the actual story itself. I can't find anywhere else to post over my confusion here, and I'm hoping I'm allowed to find my answers here.

Okay.... here goes.

Well, as I mentioned, I'm having some confusion with the story, and I'm hoping someone may be able to help me and explain something to me please?

I know this game has been out for quite a while now. (I don't remember when it was first made) So I know there will be people out there who will have finished playing ages ago.

But I have been playing on and off for about a year. I have finally reached the end battle with Corypheus, but what confuses me are the scenes leading up to this.

I've been watching some videos on Youtube of what happens with the story, but I somehow feel that I have had a part of the game cut off from me that I don't remember seeing from the Youtube videos.

I don't quite know how my play through has lead me to this, but in my game, I don't remember getting this part where you meet Morrigan in the fade and meeting up with her mother and the little boy (Kieran) in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro1y7TKopC0&t=7s 

That is the part I don't remember seeing in my play through of this game.

But instead, I am getting this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nr3W_R8MnI

Please can someone out there explain to me why I'm not getting the meeting in the fade with Morrigan (and meeting her mother there) and the boy, but instead I am forced to meet Morrigan and her mother in The Wilds next to a special altar?

I'm really confused over this. I really hope someone can help me out here sometime soon.

    I'd recommend starting a new thread/topic for advice on the battle with Corypheus; the right title should draw in DAI battle-masters.

    It's been so long since I've played DAI that I can only remember a lot of running. 🤔

    To get the fade scene Morrigan's Ritual must have been completed in Dragon Age: Origin (the Warden Commander must be alive and Kieran would be standing next to his mother in Skyhold prior to The Final Piece quest).

    Thank you for your helpful reply.

    I'd started to think that my issue was because of the fact that I'd chosen Morrigan to drink from the Well Of Sorrows (which I did in my game)  instead of my own character.

    It seems I was wrong though.

    I have played through Dragon Age Origins about 2 or 3 yrs ago. But when I finished playing, I'd uninstalled the game by this time.

    I would like to know, if possible please.... is there some kind of connection between Origins and Inquisition as to how you end up meeting Morrigan's mother (Flemeth) in the fade?

    Would I have had to keep Origins installed on my PC so the game knows to continue with the story in this way? (with the fade meeting) Or is there any other way?

    Also, because I uninstalled Origins some time ago now, I don't remember exactly that far back, but I think I kept the warden commander alive when I played, though I don't really remember seeing Kieran (the little boy) standing next to his mother in Skyhold.

    There's no direct connection between Dragon Age: Origin and Dragon Age Inquisition if you want to decide for yourself what decisions were made in the previous games (DAO and DA2) you have to use the Dragon Age Keep website. The area where you select your previous decisions is referred to as the Tapestry and one you've gotten everything the say you want it you can create a Wold State, which can then be uploaded into a new game.

    Below is a link to a thread with instructions on how to use Dragon Age Keep.

    Dragon Age Keep - Tutorials & How To 

    Side Note: If you didn't upload a World State when starting the game, then the default state loaded and that would explain why you didn't get the Flemeth fade scene. In the default World State the Dark Ritual was not preformed and the Warden died killing the Archdemon .

    Thank you for your extra helpful input.

    As you have probably guessed, I didn't use the Dragon Age Keep website to setup and decide what happens in my play through of the dragon age stories.

    It looks like there's a lot of stuff on there to look through... sort of makes me feel a bit confused over it. I'm not really very familiar with the website.

    So yes, as you mentioned, looks like that's the reason for the story in my game being set to its default state.

    As it stands, it looks like I'm not able to change the way the story is written in my play through at this rather late stage of where I'm at, considering.

    I'm okay with it being this way. But I'm just glad I was able to find an answer to my confusion with DAI. So thanks a lot for that. 🙂

    On another note, I also have a separate query to ask on the game regarding the Corypheus end battle which I might come back to ask about later.

    But I don't want to feel like I'm taking up too much of one person's time, if there maybe anyone else around (anyone else who still uses the D.A. Forums here) who wouldn't mind to help and answer my question(s).

    Thanks a lot for the extra helpful reply. I am in need of a bit of helpful advice with the Corypheus end battle. (as I mentioned in my previous post) When I can find a bit of time, I may be back again, and I'll start a new thread for that. I'm happy with your help on my current situation with the game to know "where" I am to proceed to for now. Thanks again.🙂
