About this video

My character has finally reached this point just before going to Skyhold. I wanted to finish doing many things! ugh Hinterlands..

The song may not be for everyone, but this is my favorite part of DAI. To me, it's beautiful and inspirational ^_^

    Cullen's voice actor has done professional singing. Released a few albums, I hear, but don't know what they are called. I read about it somewhere, so that's all I know.

      Also Lieutenant Groves under that smug Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company, Pirates of the Caribbean 3
      He released a single from a show "Next Time You Fall in Love".

    I've been playing a lot of DAI lately and also have this part of the game good in my memory.
    I must be honest here,.. I didn't like that song at all, thought it was way to theatrical and posed. But I've noticed that this sort of stuff appears a lot in American movies , so it's probably a difference in cultural approach (or however you would name it)
    The part after wich the gladiator dies and the queen holds her speech is another such moment and there's also such a moment in saving private Ryan.
    All excellent movies , but to me those parts are way over the top and to dramatic.
    It could al;so be that I simply lag the right characteristics to truly appreciate it. I'll leave that in the middle

      It doesn't seem too theatrical to me when thinking about it in context (but I attended a private school where we held mass in the mornings lol). Mother Giselle would've had practice singing hymns in the Chantry, Leliana was a bard for a long time, but Cullen? His decent singing probably only makes sense if he's been practicing when nobody is watching It just seemed like a dejected band of defeated Inquisition needed this and Giselle's wisdom decided so

      Also I must say Hollywood musicals are the worst! I've never seen Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan. They're probably not musicals. Musical elements? Cats 2019 though.. ohgawd >_<

      Nope,.. they're not musicals , but movies that featured in cinema's all over the world.
      In both those movies those more theatrical parts came over as slightly "patronizing" en attaching some sort of "do good" lesson there where there was absolutely no need to. So, way to much for me (even though those movies in itself are good movies).
      You're right about Cullen and his singing, way to educated voice, but perhaps he did practice in secret . I always suspected him of having a secret crush on Leliana

      Ohhh if you're aware of patronizing lessons in some movies, you should check out The Critical Drinker on YouTube

    I think my favorite Dragon Age song is "I am the One" from the end of DAO, but this comes a close second. This was one of those "wow" moments in DAI for me, loved it. Terrific job on the vid.

      Thanks! After making my custom fem-Hawke at Skyhold (I had to use a save editor because it didn't import the world state >_>­)..
      I think I want to try DAO and DA2 later but I need to play this awhile and let my "missing Fallout 4" grow a little.

      In my humble opinion, DAO was the best of the lot, I just replayed it recently and it still stands up to the test of time.

      You should try it! This game is awesome. After playing Conan Exiles for awhile, it's refreshing to have followers: 1) That aren't slaves. Because CE just calls slaves "thralls". 2) They talk! To each other! To you! xD Their dialogue is even more fleshed out than Fo4 or Skyrim.

      I agree! There's also certain lyrics my religious schooling would have objected to.
      Mostly because of what "bare your blade" and "stand your ground" means Can't have people standing up for themselves, nope!

    I rarely do everything anymore. I have one character who has a complete game basically but all the others I just stick to companion quests and the main quests other wise it's a mega grind clearing maps again and again.

      The mega grind is the suck That's why I stopped playing um.. July 2016? Already completed the story twice and didn't feel like it again. But after all this time, I feel emotionally invested in this Inquisition after missing it. IMO, it would be super cool to stumble across a bunch of religious zealots who think I'm some kind of heaven-send so we may claim everywhere we go with flags! Even though I would object to that if it wasn't me

    Strong overtones of "Edge of Night" or "Pippin's Song" from LoTR.

      You're right! It sounds very similar to Pippin's Song, which imo is beautiful.

      It's incredible. Short and yet immensely powerful and emotional.

      YouTube like Nexusmods never censors anybody ever

      lol. But I'll let them it's not even monetized. And then when it's claimed it gets deleted
