- Dragon Age: Inquisition machinima (2019): A cinematic take on my favorite in-game party banter, in which Solas and Iron Bull reenact the legendary 1851 chess game played by Anderssen and Kieseritzky. My primary goal was to make it a bit easier to follow along for viewers unfamilliar with chess.

My Dragon Age: Inquisition machinima is made with DAI Cinematic Tools, created by Matti Hietanen. The toolset lets me move the viewpoint camera around freely, change its field of view, and also add several visual effects -- depth of field, for instance. Equally important is a Cheat Engine script to trigger and toggle through randomized in-game party banter by pressing a hotkey. However, a significant part of the creative process usually takes place outside of the game, in Adobe After Effects.
TRANSCRIPT:
Act I
SOLAS: How do you feel, Iron Bull? Do you need a distraction to focus your mind?
IRON BULL: Well, this area's low on dancing girls, sadly.
SOLAS: King's pawn to E4.
IRON BULL: You're shitting me. We don't even have a board!
SOLAS: Too complicated for a savage Tal-Vashoth?
IRON BULL: Smug little asshole. Pawn to E5.
SOLAS: Pawn to F4. King's Gambit.
IRON BULL: Accepted. Pawn takes pawn. Give me a bit to get the pieces set in my head. Then we'll see what you've got.
Act II
SOLAS: So, where were we? Ah, yes. Mage to C4.
IRON BULL: Little aggressive. Arishok to H4. Check.
SOLAS: Speaking of aggressive. I assume Arishok is your term for the Queen? King to F1.
IRON BULL: Pawn to B5.
SOLAS: All right. You have my curiosity. Mage takes Pawn.
IRON BULL: You call your Tamassrans Mages? Ben-Hassrath to F6.
SOLAS: You call your Knights Ben-Hassrath? Incidentally, Knight to F3.
IRON BULL: Ben-Hassrath makes more sense than horses. They're sneaky, and they can move through enemy lines. Arishok to H6.
SOLAS: Pawn to D3.
IRON BULL: Ben-Hassrath to H5. Hah! All right, take some time. Think about your life choices.
a bit to get the pieces set in my head. Then we'll see what you've got.
Act III
SOLAS: All right, Bull. If you are prepared: Knight to H4.
IRON BULL: Arishok to G5. So, you giving up the Tamassran at B5 or the Ben-Hassrath at H4?
SOLAS: Neither. Knight to F5.
IRON BULL: Pawn to C6. Left your Tamassran hanging out.
SOLAS: And you, your Knight. Or Ben-Hassrath, if you will. Pawn to G4.
IRON BULL: Ben-Hassrath to F6.
SOLAS: Hmm. Tower to G1.
IRON BULL: Hah! Pawn takes your Tamassran - or Mage, or whatever it is.
SOLAS: I get the idea.
IRON BULL: Too much time playing with spirits, Fade Walker.
SOLAS: We shall see.
Act IV
SOLAS: If you have a moment, Bull: Pawn to H4
IRON BULL: Arishok to G6.
SOLAS: Pawn to H5. Careful.
IRON BULL: You're the one who lost his Mage. Arishok to G5.
SOLAS: Queen to F3.
IRON BULL: Oh, clever. Almost trapped my Arishok. Ben-Hassrath to G8.
SOLAS: Mage takes Pawn, threatens Queen.
IRON BULL: Arishok to F6.
SOLAS: Knight to C3. You've developed nothing but your Queen.
IRON BULL: Don't get cocky, you're still one Tamassran down. Tamassran to C5, by the way.
SOLAS: Hmm. I will need to consider.
Act V
SOLAS: After careful consideration: Knight to D5.
IRON BULL: Arishok takes Pawn at B2.
SOLAS: Mage to D6.
IRON BULL: Arishok takes Tower. Check. What are you doing, Solas?
SOLAS: King to E2.
IRON BULL: All right, Tamassran takes Tower. Your last Tower, by the way.
SOLAS: Pawn to E5.
IRON BULL: Really. I've got my whole army bearing down on your King, and you're moving a Pawn?
IRON BULL: Are you even trying anymore?
SOLAS: Think about it, my friend.
Act VI
IRON BULL: All right, Solas. I've thought about it. Ready to finish this? Ben-Hassrath to A6.
SOLAS: Knight takes Pawn at G7. Check.
IRON BULL: Uh-huh. King to D8.
SOLAS: Queen to F6, Check.
IRON BULL: And now my Ben-Hassrath takes your Queen.
IRON BULL: You've got no Towers. You're down to a single Mage. Too bad you wasted time moving that Pawn to… to…
IRON BULL: You sneaky son of a bitch.
SOLAS: Mage to E7. Checkmate.
IRON BULL: Nice game, mage.
SOLAS: And you as well, Tal-Vashoth.

Somehow, I managed to accidentally enable a very strict comment moderation on this and a few other videos, which caused all comments to be held for review and then deleted after 60 days! To those of you who kindly shared your thoughts with me-I'm truly sorry I missed your comments! 😭❤ I've changed the setting now.
The optimal way to watch one of my favorite banters in the whole series
Thank you, that's a really lovely and inspiring compliment!
I love this. Especially how they just start talking about shirts as they walk away😂
One wonders if that game foreshadows events to come...
How does this not have more views? This is fantastic! Love the camera work and the Sherlock style editing of the chessboard in the background. Really shows the mind game going on between these two. You did a fantastic job bringing this to life!
Thank you!! I deleted my channel in 2020 due to health reasons, and I think this video had about 10K views back then. Today, I'm just glad if my videos are found and enjoyed by a few kind fellow DA fans, like you! Also, I'm very sorry for the late reply, my notifications have been turned off while I've been writing a thesis.
@@LethallanTV I sincerely hope your health is better ❤Very wholesome that you're just putting this out here for fans. And good luck on your Thesis! I started University this year myself, so I know it's tough.
It really just show the cunningness and aggresive style of iron bull and the cleverness of Solas the fact that he let himself vulnerable to deliver the final blow and uses the most weak pawn as the key to success
Exactly! Thank you so much for your insightful comment!
Its the trespasser music for me. This was incredible! I also still have no understanding of chess lol
Ah, thank you. That was a splendid work!
Thank you, I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed!
3 years later and I play DAI again. It's still freaking phenomenal and i love this animation really much. Ty.
this is so skilfully made i am gobsmacked honestly. thank you for making and sharing these videos, they're amazing!
Although I don't play chess, or knew that the banter is based on a real game. I always liked it. I thoroughly enjoyed the in game footage as well as showing their moves on the board. This is incredible, thank you!
You make me so happy, more than I can express! This is my favorite piece of banter, and filming it in-game while showcasing the moves was a true passion project. I'm thrilled that it resonated with you -- thank you so much for sharing your appreciation!!
This is incredible!
I really hope the algorithm scoops this puppy up, cause the world needs to see.
this was so fun to watch! but i travel with the two of them all the time bummed i haven’t heard this audio
I really appreciate the effort that went into this.
Means a lot to hear that, many thanks!
Amazing! Brilliant! Wow! Super! It seems to me, or is it against the background of the track with the battle of the Haven?
Just got into the Dragon Age franchise as a whole and this video, this channel, was made for me specifically. ❤ Excellent work!
This is amazing!!! I was so curious to see what it would look like
this is absolutely fantastic
How have I not watched this before! Your videos are always so amazing!
Ahh that means so much, thank you!!
Ive only just found this, and I'm in love with it! The shot composition, the editing, the chessboard to help chess plebs like me keep track (and looking stunning while doing it)! And the music is wonderfully picked. Especially at the end, with a soft rendition of Solas' theme heralding his victory. Just superb, all around.
I'm really glad to see this again.
Why have I never seen this masterpiece until now?!
This is amazing, perfectly done, thank you!
Brilliant! I love the banter already and now this amazing!
this is the best thing ever
Amazing stuff, breathtaking!
Amazing ^^
So intense!!
SOOO EPIC
Was this one set to private? I swear I found it 2019 and a year later, when I wanted to share it, it was no more.
Regardless, it is fantastic.
I deleted my channel due to health reasons and was later persuaded to upload/share my vids again -- and when I read your kind words, I'm truly happy I did ❤️
