Escape Velocity

A curated Collection of Fantasy and Science Fiction Media

I made (most of) this playlist years ago. There’s nothing quite like having playlists that remind you of a piece of media that you enjoyed so much that you really don’t want to leave its world.

This playlist is mostly inspired by my personal playthroughs of Dragon Age: Inquisition, in which I made choices that may differ from other players. Wanna know what choices I made? Why not listen to find out?

Check out our other posts about Dragon Age here:

1 - I am the One - Raney Shockne, Elizaveta, Nick Stoubis

With the huge amount of stunning tavern songs that are actually part of the game, it would be a crime not to include at least one. This song in particular is a huge favourite of mine, as its melody strongly references the theme of Dragon Age: Origins.

2 - Everything Changed - Lindsay Lou

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Everything changed for the Inquisitor when she stepped out of the fade.

3 - Take the Journey - Molly Tuttle

After spending most of her life locked away in the Ostwick Tower of Magi, the Inquisitor is suddenly thrust into a life of constant travel.

4 - U-turn - Tegan and Sara

From the first moment I heard this song, it reminded me of Cassandra Pentaghast. Never have I ever seen a U-turn like the one she makes when she goes from suspecting our protagonist of killing the Devine, to believing you were sent to Thedas by the Maker himself.

5 - Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons

This one is… pretty obvious. I’m very basic and obviously romanced Cullen, and there is really only one song you can pick for the Lion of Ferelden

6 - Somebody Special - Nina Nesbitt

I like to imagine the inquisitor has a pretty serious case of imposter syndrome. It can’t be easy being a circle mage, and suddenly people think she’s this big deal. Could she be somebody special?

7 - The Other Side - MAX, Ty Dolla $ign

I’m not a huge fan of the Greatest Showman, but this song is a perfect depiction of the Inquisitor convincing people to join her cause. Especially Vivienne.

8 - Hero is My Middle Name - Ethan Slater, Danny Skinner, Lilli Cooper (Spongebob the Musical)

Spongebob the Musical slaps.

9 - You Need To Calm Down - Taylor Swift

God, Corypheus just needs to… chill. You know?

10 - Along the Road - Karmin

Endings suck, but it’s always better to have happy memories than to have no memories at all.

11 - I Lived - OneRepublic

This is starting to get real dramatic. She’s fine, she’s just been through a lot.

12 - Spirits - The Strumbellas

In didn’t want to include a song for every companion, but couldn’t help ending the playlist with this little ode to Solas. He sucks and I don’t like him.

I hope you enjoy this playlist! Are there any songs you would replace to better fit your own experience of the game? Be sure to let us know on any of our social media accounts! I’d love to hear what you would choose.
