And how most of the three choices we are given boil down to flavor text?

Disband Inquisition or have it join the chantry? Doesn't actually matter, the Inquisitor is doing the exact same thing and there's none of the corruption from within that was given as a reason to disband the Inquisition in the first place

Inky vowed to stop or redeem Solas? Also doesn’t matter, most of their lines are identical, they'll still argue that he might listen to reason and will still help you redeem him

Who did you romance? Literally only comes up in one codex entry letter from the love interest (or in case of Dorian: a two line exchange as they're standing next to each other at the end). Only matters if you romanced Solas, which also affects weird things like your Inquisitor only asking Rook after their love interest if they've romanced Solas, like, what??

Anyway idk if I am pissed at this or just find it funny. Like. They knew that the three choices they put in barely influenced the world, and they STILL gave us that excuse??? What's that about???

Okay, I dont expect people to like others they disagree with. But I explicitly asked for research backing up anti endo (and pro endo) beliefs. Instead of offering anything, I was insulted and given nothing.

All this does is drive people further into their beliefs. Its the same situation as MAGA folk. If you approach them with aggression and anger, they don't bother listening.

Its simple. You attack (whether you mean to or not), the person defends. Instead of listening, the person will shut down and ignore what you have to say. Its the same as when you argue about stuff with housemates or family. Talking nicely and being genuine does so much more than being mean.

Here's an edu web page talking about how to actually change others' minds.

Also recommend reading up on interpersonal effectiveness. Linked is info on interpersonal effectiveness in DBT, but i recommend looking into it more than just DBT.
