                                        • Best party composition for entertaining banter? Love the party members snarking at each other while we’re roaming around! @thornmallow
                                        • DA is a series with really high stakes and where humanity (unlike in Mass Effect) is not that special. Do you appreciate that about it? @MtoAllPro
                                        • Is there a moment in any DA that always makes you cringe (for any reason) playing through it? @TimpoAdante
                                        • DA:O's Deep Roads, "A good way to spend an afternoon" or "Is there an end to this"? What did you think? @estelliaslair
                                        • In your mind are the Wardens good guys, bad guys, neither, and why? I see them more as a necessary evil than anything else. Thus why my warden was super evil and a jerk. @MtoAllPro
                                        • Are you disappointed that we never get to experience the Warden's adventures in DA:I (as seen in Leliana quests)? @estelliaslair
                                        • Is the Inquisition set to be good for later games or will it be corrupted like the Wardens, Templar, Circles and every other organization. @MtoAllPro
                                        • Which DA do you feel has the best story? Does it also have the best characters? @TimpoAdante
                                        • Most bittersweet romance? My vote is for a devout Inquisitor romancing Cassandra as she becomes Divine. @The_Doc_Webb

And Diamondback, who was always the great puppet master, just puts on a suit and comes fight Luke at the end in public? Really? Overall, I loved the series but I think Jessica Jones had better writing for the second half. Before that, I thought they were at least on par. @vosskah (01:23:22)
