Ellana spent three weeks learning to trap a great bear without magic, to speak to augurs who laughed at her Anchor. "Your mark is a key," the augur said, "but you've only ever used it to pick locks. What if you used it to slam a door ?" "About time," Solas whispered
And Ellana? She had a choice the vanilla game never gave her. Not just stop the villain or join him . The GOTY Edition had added a third option, hidden in the deepest codex entry, unlocked only if you completed The Descent , Jaws of Hakkon , and Trespasser on the same save. The Qunari's plan
"It always is," replied Ellana Lavellan, the Inquisitor. She held the hilt of her spirit-blade loosely. She wasn't looking at the rift. She was looking at the war table map in her mind. The Descent.
