Do I have to fill out some dumb tapestry or can I just import my save games from DA1 and DA2 into DA:I?

^^^ no save game importing. You have to fill out the tapestry, or have it autopopulate a random world setting (based off your achievements) and hope for the best.CitrusFrog posted:A bit more context for the various sidequests and minor NPCs would be nice. I honestly don't understand why they didn't have a few extra sentences building up each choice. It's rather bland the way it is now. Pick this or pick that is basically what you're getting a lot of the time, and it has about the same impact.

You can import them into the Keep, and then you can import that world state into DA:I. The tapestry you get from importing your saves might not line up correctly with what the Keep imports though. It doesn't take too long to look over your choices though, just give it a try.

So I might have screwed up. I did the keep, and it imported all my achievements from DA:O... problem is, I'm only a part of the way through DA:O, so none of the decisions it made for me are what I'm going to do in the game. Am I going to have to change the tapestry manually or what?

This is the way it is supposed to work. But you can always just watch the movie thing for the major decisions and either use the default for the rest, or randomise them if you can't be bothered with the tapestry.

Karras - templar from act 1 who wanted to exterminate run away mages from Starkhaven. Also implied to be raping mages later in the game. Gascard was a blood mage from Act 1 who has connections to the serial killer who murders Hawke's mom.

Mymla posted:Filling out the DA1 tapestry was easy. Yeah seriously. I finished DA2 last week and I don't remember anything. Yehven? Javaris? Ginnis? Even reading the wikis for them I don't remember anything. DA:O I played once four years ago and still remember most of it. DA2's badness is overstated in some ways and completely understated in others. Like that quest where you're trying to set up Aveline with the guard dude and you have to keep the patrol clear so they can chat on the mountain or whatever. Aveline is mostly not annoying, so it should be kinda cute and charming, right? Except the quest involves you slaughtering hordes of dogs by the dozens while they make sad, pained dog noises. Like, the gently caress? By the end you're playing matchmaker while covered head to toe in the blood of dogs. hosed up poo poo

Just select any option that ends with a character's death, even if you don't remember them. The world is a better place with less Kirkwall inhabitants in it.

Its funny how everything involving the Kirkwall tapestry is just HERE'S THIS poo poo LORD. DID THEY DIE IN THIS ACT OR IN THIS ACT? Even the Keep doesn't think much of the second game. Although its great that the keep allows you to be involved in crimewave in Origins even if you weren't a sneaky knife person.

Lotish posted:I wonder how they're going to segue into it though. I mean we've seen the intro to the game. You pick your race, class and world state, start the game, and then a default Inquisitor stands up and the editing begins. But when will editing Hawke happen? Will you be in the middle of a dramatic scene, turn to a default Hawke stepping into camera, and then suddenly the edit window pops up? We've seen Hawke several times now, so we know it's going to come up, I'm just curious how they plan to handle it. The perfect way to do it would be the way Hawke was first introduced. That was pretty good, too bad they didn't have more than one or two instances of that in the whole game.

oatgan posted:nah it's blood Not gonna lie, when I saw this the first time, I thought it was awesome. I didn't care about the material or know where Kirkwall was, so combined with calling him 'The Champion' I imagined it'd be some kind of rad story of a Chasind barbarian becoming champion over a bunch of tribes. Thus the blood-face-paint. But there's... literally no reason for it.

A lot of speculation at the time of the trailer was that game would respond to Hawke being a blood mage, and the smear was just part of it. Of course that wasn't the case. That said, Destiny trailer Hawke looks amazing and I'm glad he looks closer to that design in the Inquisition shots we've seen.

Actually the worst thing about not being able to import my Warden from DA:O isn't that I remember none of this (and it probably doesn't matter) but that the savior of the world is no longer a racist elf barbarian called Dongalor. e: Also I never did the expansions so none of these options mean anything.

ChiTownEddie posted:I can't stop laughing. This is probably why I'm a goon. Seriously I didn't like DA:O's gameplay at all but I set it to easy and cruised through just because I enjoyed the rest so much. I also made Alistair run away crying, killed Wynne because Dongalor (and myself) was only half paying attention to Morrigan and only heard the "you're all sheep" part and not the "so you should die" part, and killed Zevran because I didn't pay attention to him either. Then Dongalor made out with Morrigan in a really clunky and hilarious sex scene and now he has a demon baby or something. I played DA2 as a mage and while the gameplay still wasn't great I at least got the npcs to be useful and just pressed every button on the keyboard to kill everything every wave. I'm really looking forward to Inquisition now, especially the co-op! The multiplayer was the best part of ME3 and I hope it is here too. This is also the first time I've paid full price for a DA game; I got DA:O for free and DA2 for ten bucks. e: Huh, this tapestry thing doesn't have anything about how I made a new homeland for my fellow racist elves. That sucks, but DA2 ignored it too so whatever. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Oct 30, 2014 |

After firing up the Keep and setting up my world state, I hit the button to listen to Varric's recap. Once it finished the long recounting of DAO's story, it abruptly cuts and he boldly pronounced that "It all began in Kirkwall!!!" The recap promptly poo poo itself thirty seconds later. Might be a bug, but "making GBS threads itself" felt like a fitting summary of DA2 to me.

It's odd, but for all the hard work that obviously went into the design of the DAKeep, It's all very half-assed and shallow when it comes to the actual plots and whatnot. Now, I knowit's much easier to put a thirty second rando character or passing comment from DA1 or DA2 into the game than it is to create an in game world where all the elves became immortal again and created a new Kingdom of grass fairies or whatever, but even the things it DOES ask you about it just says BLANK: (Y)es or (N)o? I would have expected better from the paid intern putting this text together.

Sounds like the one time I was able to get the Varric Recap to play. Got through about 3/4s of DA:O and then imploded. Tried playing it earlier today and got nothing.

Eh, it's about what you'd get for an import. At least now you can freely toggle things if you don't like the current cameo. Still, I do agree that it does seem weird how it glosses over some bigger plot points while adding in nearly irrelevant side quests. I'm still glad to have it now that I've got my world states just the way I like em.

Yeah the keep is lacking in expanded info for the people / situations. If I can't remember something offhand, either the results or the people themselves, I just use a dragon age wiki. Was useful in remember Karras. Settled on two world states. One pro-mage with warden and hawke being mages. The other a pro-Templar / Chantry with warden and hawke as rogues. It was fun setting it up. And now back to waiting for another two weeks.

While looking at the entry for the DA:I Digital Deluxe Edition on Origin a few days ago it said that some free future DLC would be included. I visited the store today and the landing link takes to you to the DDE which has been updated, that text mentioning free DLC was removed. Just a FYI in case anyone had a preorder for it or whatever, just get the standard anyway because those digital deluxe things are almost always silly.

Possibilities include Ferelden armies helping the dwarves reclaim much of the Deep Roads, the Alienage being named a formal division of Ferelden (bannord or arldom, don't remember) and the PC its representative in the Landsmeet, or the Southern Wilds formally given to the Dalish elves as rightful territory.
