i guess i don't understand chess. why can't bull take the bishop with his king on the last move? i don't see a piece that can stop that or take the king the next turn

Took me a while to understand the brilliance of Pe5. It blocks the black queen from protecting the pawn at g7, forcing the knight to take the white queen at f6 and leave the black king unguarded.

I like the subtle aspect that Bull actually starts switching to non-Qunari terms for the most part as the game goes on. Especially since this only occurs if he becomes a Tal-Vashoth, shows him leaving behind the Qun, in a small way.

okay, recently started playing the game again and after watching this something jumped out at me. people compare Solas sacrificing the queen to symbolizing Mythal's death (thou i doubt that was intentional in any way. unless their refiring to the end of DAI where Solas seems to kill Flemeth) and the mage trapping the king to be Solas, but the mage isn't alone. the knight is also trapping the king. in the game you see statues of Fen'harel in 2 temples. the temple of Mythal AND the temple of Dirthamen! and in the temple, you find Dirthamen's shield. implying that he was a warrior, or a knight. in this match the mage and the knight take down the king together. this could mean absolutely nothing, but.........i now have questions. LOL at least it's fun to think about!

Origin is the best mechanically, but the lore, story and dialogue vastly improved across the games. If Dreadwolf would have that top-down tactical perspective and mechanics + the lore and the story of Inquisition, it would be a contender for one of the best CRPGs.

Everyone’s talking about how devious solas is, and that’s certainly true but remember this interaction only occurs if Bull rejects the qun, furthermore at the end solas implies this whole exercise was to show bull that just because he lost the qun doesn’t mean he will lose his mind. Solas will sacrifice everything for victory, but he also cares about those around him who he deems worthy….something to consider

Weirdly they changed the game ever so slightly from the real game. In the original, on move 18 Kieseritzky (Bull) played Bxg1, which Wikipedia describes as “the move leading to Black’s defeat.” Here, Bull plays Qxa1+, which the same Wikipedia article identifies as a better move. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_Game

It's the funniest thing...I played this match on a move calculator and it made one completely different move to make a COMPLETELY different game. Mainly the computer played a more conservative game. If Iron Bull had played more conservatively and not been so aggressive, he might've had a chance.

2:50 Right here is when Solas won the game. g1 was bait. By taking the Rook, Bull had no pieces in a position to get his King out of trouble, while only having one space to retreat to after the Knight took g7. Yes I know this is the Immortal Game, still, it's fun to see it somewhere I NEVER expected it to appear in.

This is one of the most clever things I've ever seen in a videogame. 1. It's well written banter in its own right. 2. It is great characterisation: Bull revels in the fight and measures victory in enemy kills. Solas hides his intent and is focused on the endgame. 3. It is world-building: Their names for the pieces also reveal differences in their respective cultures. 4. It is foreshadowing: Solas manipulating event and people like pawns. Sacrificing pieces, including his Queen (Flemeth/Mythal), to secure victory 5. If you really want to read into it, you could view the Pawn as The Inquisitor: A piece only powerful for being in the right place at the right time to prevent Corypheus (Black's Queen) from stopping the checkmate.

Or you could see the Inquisitor as the Queen. A powerful piece Bull wants to protect, and that Solas tosses away to win.

That is so foreshadowing to Solas' Plot but I really love their strategies. Even tho Solas' one is based on much sacrifices but there's much improvement space. So I guess based on his character, we do can convince him to change things I hope Dragon Age 4 will give us the possibility to change his mind without killing him
