The shortest day, the longest night – and the most unwelcoming moment imaginable to be cast into a new world.

Dragon Age: Inquisition does not begin with hope, but with chaos, guilt and the cold. An explosion, a prison, suspicious glances – and the quiet question of why this one figure survived at all. This Christmas special is not a return in any comfortable sense, but a slow re-entry into a world that was never meant to feel welcoming.

The video allows itself time – for first steps, for atmosphere, for dialogue, and for the unspoken weight of its beginning. No rush, no year in review, no ‘best of’. Just a quiet walk through snow, doubt, and the earliest moments of an Inquisition that does not yet understand what it is becoming.

If Christmas exists here, it does so not as comfort, but as contrast.
