New to the Crew: A Young Hopeful is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Acquisition[]
Available after Skyhold's first set of repairs and speaking with Sutherland at Herald's Rest. He can be found on the second floor of the tavern.
Operation text[]
A note in careful handwriting from the youth who recently arrived:
To the Inquisition,
I found bandits stalking your patrols. They are the usual kind, and I can show your people where they are. I'd have tried to stop them, but they have swords, and I don't. If you have extra, I will help. I want to help.
D. Sutherland
Advisor suggestions[]
Josephine - N/A[]
Not participating in this mission.
Leliana - 0:48:00[]
If we have the location, just eliminate them. Put the boy to work elsewhere.
Cullen - 1:00:00[]
If the boy knows where they are, outfit him. It is a minor threat.
Results[]
Leliana[]
The bandits we were warned about are gone. Tell the Sutherland boy thanks. Perhaps he can join the kitchen staff.
Leliana
Cullen[]
The Sutherland lad reported back. The bandits were cleared with minor spoils. He may have potential.
Cullen
Rewards[]
Leliana[]
- Gold (50-65)
- Questline ends
Cullen[]
- Gold (50-65)
- Unlocks war table operation A Patrol for the Crew (Part II)
Notes[]
- Completing the operation with Leliana causes Sutherland to leave Skyhold.
- Completing the operation with Cullen opens up the next operation which can be made available by speaking to Sutherland again at Herald's Rest and selecting the dialogue option, "Keep training." In doing so this will initiate a chain of six additional war table operations and one side quest.
Subsequent Operations[]
- A Patrol for the Crew - Cullen Only (~100 gold)
- Outfitting the Crew - (30 influence)
- A Test of Mettle and the Crew - Leliana (continues chain; 30 influence), Josephine/Cullen (ends chain; ~40-65 gold)
- A Crew of Ambassadors -
Notched Longbow Grip - A Crew of Adventurers -
Firm Two-Handed Haft - Sutherland and Company Missing (operation) - (30 influence)
- Sutherland and Company Missing (quest) - (Storm Coast. No reward outside of continuing the quest chain and however much XP is earned from killing the darkspawn.)
- A Company of Heroes -
Heavy Shield Schematic - Some follow up dialogue will be triggered upon visiting Sutherland after the completion of this chain. He and his crew imply that they are gifting some amount of gold at this point but no reward is actually given.
- Like this operation, visiting Sutherland's spot in the tavern is necessary to advance the chain following the completion of "A Patrol for the Crew", "Outfitting the Crew", "A Test of Mettle and the Crew", and "A Crew of Adventurers".
Bugs[]
- While this operation can be started at any point after the first time the Inquisitor returns to Skyhold, bear in mind that in order to complete the eight-part operation chain to its full extent, the seventh part—Sutherland and Company Missing (operation)—must be completed before commencing What Pride Had Wrought and before completing Iron Bull's companion quest Demands of the Qun.
- If the quest was not obtained before completing What Pride Had Wrought, talking to the NPC who is meant to activate the operation on the war table will yield no results or reward.
- If the quest was obtained, but not completed prior to commencing What Pride Had Wrought or completing Demands of the Qun, the operation will disappear from the war table and the advisor selected will be unavailable for the remainder of the operation "timer."
