I think you ' re forgetting how bad a simple commoner can be . Depending on your starting age , you ' ve been level 1 for fucking ages like , Elves can have a few hundred years as level 1 before starting their career so them having some fucked shit in their past makes sense . <| sep |> You ' re definitely not alone ! ! I was in the same boat for a long time before I had to force myself to switch games . So far I ' ve beaten DAI 5 times 3 without the DLC and 2 playing through all 3 plot DLC . And my last one I mainly did because I knew I wanted to do the Solas romance before putting the game aside for a while totally worth it too . But I would definitely go through the Trespasser DLC ! It ' s so much fun . And even if you finish that DLC you can replay it and do the game with your true canon Inquisitor unless you feel like you ' ve already done that . I think if that ' s something you have yet to achieve , you do it and that ' ll give you a chance to take a break after . I still don ' t have my canon Inquisitor already have Warden and Hawke but I needed to take a break before I was burnt out from the game and I was without realizing it when I tried starting a new character to stream on Twitch and I just couldn ' t get into it .
