I've lost count of the amount of times I've played through Dragon Age: Inquisition at this point. I first picked up the game in 2014 on the Xbox 360 (which was a bit of a bumpy ride), before I finally upgraded to the next generation and played it on Xbox One. Since then, I've tucked into the adventure time and again on just about every platform going, with the PC, PS4, and PS5 following after my Xbox sessions. And yet, even after countless visits to Thedas on multiple platforms, and with over 600 hours on the PlayStation alone, I've only just made a discovery about one small side quest in the Hinterlands that relates to a certain named ram.
I'm sure long-time players and fellow fans immediately know what I'm about to talk about. I'm also certain that many will be admonishing me for not seeing this before, or ever thinking to do this particular side quest differently. But here I am, almost eight years on from the release of the game, with innumerable playthroughs under my belt, sitting in disbelief as I see a demon rise out of the corpse of Lord Woolsely. You mean to tell me he's actually a Rage Demon? In all this time, I never even thought about attacking the ram… How haven't I done this before?
