The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

Other minor tweaks:

Chapter 29 - Inserted a few lines of expository dialogue at the start to clarify just how old Orpheus is.

Chapter 36 - Hawke's backstory from his first year in Kirkwall updated as I found out I'd remembered one of the DA2 sidequests wrong, and it was even more morally compromised than I'd thought.

This is a great story with an ending that nailed it! great job and thank you for taking us on this Journey of adventure that just might be better then the game (i dont know, havent gotten to play it yet, but the fic makes me want to).

no mortal agency can resurrect someone who doesn't want to return.

That's because they gimped magic in 5e. In 3.5 you could call them (petitioners were outsiders), use enchantments to make them want to return, and then hit them with the Resurrection. Or you could just abduct a petitioner and force them through the ritual of transfiguration to turn them into living beings.

There's also the Zin-Karla spell the Drow use. Drizzt's mother used it to forcibly raise his father into a puppet then sent him to kill Drizzt.

5E is a cancer that should be ignored for the really good D&D content

I never claimed that forced resurrection was good. Only that it was possible in 3.5e.
