allows players to explore many never-before-seen areas of Thedas, but some of these areas are more interesting to return to than others.
Taking place in northern Thedas, finally allows players to visit Tevinter, Antiva, the Anderfels, and parts of Rivain and Nevarra, though in a more limited capacity than they could explore Ferelden and Orlais in.
After recruiting a companion from each region and speaking to them again at the Lighthouse, these areas open up so Rook can return to them and fully explore them at their leisure.
There are eight explorable regions to discover and revisit in, two of which are located in the «world between worlds» accessible through the ancient Elven Eluvian network.
Determining which ones stand out requires an examination of their overall atmosphere and visual appeal, how enjoyable they are to explore and play in, how relevant they are to the narrative, and how well they deliver on the promises from previous games and tie-in materials across the series.
