* In the Fade, you fight personifications of various fears. Each character perceives them as something that frightens them personally but to the player, they look like spiders. They are all named after fears, like "Drowning," "Senility," "Failure," etc. Later on, one of them is named "Ironically, Spiders".

** In a BrickJoke that comes all the way from the first game, Leliana asked Morrigan offscreen about the dress she wore in Halamshiral. Dress that is ''exactly'' like the one Leliana wanted to dress Morrigan in ''Origins''. Apparently, Kieran was the one who choosed the dress, to which Leliana thinks the kid had a good taste in fashion. What's better is that the only way Urthemiel!Kieran knew what dress Leliana was talking about in Origins is throught Urthemiel.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Those infected by the Blight, such as the Darkspawn, the Wardens and the Archdemons, had a hive-mind of sorts, meaning that Urthemiel probably find out Leliana and Morrigan's banter about the dress throught Alistair and the Warden's conection to the Blight and [[NotSoAboveItAll somehow influenced Kieran to choose the dress]].[[/labelnote]] According to the messenger, Morrigan said that Leliana had to stay away from Kieran because she's a ''bad influence''.

** What makes this better is not only that Cole says this in his usual InnocentlyInsensitive voice, but also the fact that Cole is a ''spirit of compassion''. When the physical manifestation of mercy calls you an asshole, you're a pretty fuckin' big asshole. And Cassandra (who is probably the second nicest person on the team) just chuckles and commends the sentiment.

* A meta example with the "Gears in the Deep Roads" sidequest. You're running around collecting ''[[Franchise/MetalGear metal gears]]''... while accompanied by a dwarf voiced by ''Creator/DavidHayter.''

* After you rescue Storvacker (a bear of great cultural importance to your Avvar allies), they ask you to sit in judgment...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpZVPfj0HV0 of the bear,]] for yielding to captivity. First, the Inquisitor does a passable [[Series/CSIMiami Horatio Caine]] impersonation and [[JustForPun bears]] the burden...

** Added points for hilarity at the end of the game when you find out that ''both'' of them are at least partly responsible for the events at the Conclave.

* At some point you encounter these hostile creatures called Cretahl, about the size of a Bronto, and one of your party members will ask what such a big thing would eat down in the Deep Roads. If you bring Cassandra along, she quips them, if they're not careful.
* Amusingly, if you play "Descent" before finishing the main questline, at one point the Inquisitor will remark that they refuse to die before Corypheus is dead.

** Vivienne is thoroughly unimpressed that their adventure is starting with them being lowered into a hole in the ground.

-->'''Cassandra:''' Drops of rain glistened on the griffon medallion grasped tightly in Blackwall’s hand. 'The Silverite Wings of Valor. They mean nothing.' He flung the medal to the cold and uncaring ground. '[[HurtingHero You don’t know what I’ve done!]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Don’t. Know. Me.']]" ''(sighs)'' [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel So romantic.]]

** This entire series of missions is hilarious in various ways, but one step late in the quest chain is a very sneaky CreatorInJoke. As part of the chain to solve the mystery, the Inquisition needs to get a copy of one of the Merchants' Guild's ciphers. Varric writes to a contact, Jerrik Dace, and reminds him that he still owes House Tethras a lot of money for their part in financing his rescue mission. He offers to void the debt in exchange for the needed cipher; Dace writes back an equally snarky response accepting the deal. As seasoned ''Dragon Age'' players know, that rescue mission was the entire plot of the ''Origins'' DLC ''Golems of Amgarrak.'' It might be considered just a simple CallBack, but the funny part comes in when you know that Varric's voice actor, Creator/BrianBloom, ''also'' voiced Jerrik Dace. It's a case of TalkingToHimself - in writing.

** Just before this bit we have Ferelden and Orlais arguing over the Inquisition, and arguing, and arguing enough that it would less about the Inquisition's fate and more like reigniting the bad blood between the two nations. And Josephine suddenly looks rather concerned because Inquisitor slumps on the desk and looks like they are bored to tears, or sleep.

* The codex about the Temple of the Sacred Ashes mention that the Warden didn't share the discovery of the Temple and the Urn of Andraste with anyone. Yes, that's right, finding the in-universe equivalent of Jesus wasn't even worth of mention. In fact, not only it was considered a ''side''-quest back in ''Origins'', the fact that nobody even mention the quest at all in ''Inquisition'' means that finding the worldy remains of Andraste wasn't even considered the most relevant thing the Warden did that year.
