On Sera: she's alright. I don't have any problems with her. And her little side bit where you play pranks on other people is funny if you go along with it and don't act like a party pooper. On Viv, she is such a bitch I love it, especially since she hates my character since I'm going pro mage. She rearranged furniture around the keep just to mess with me and then dismissed me. It was hilarious.

I accidentally moused over a (pretty big!) spoiler about Solas, and now I fully expect the next game to have God-babies fighting each other.

precision posted:Also why is BioWare encouraging me to NOT play the game for an hour so I can wait for my people to finish missions. Is it supposed to be like "Yo, why don't you play multiplayer for an hour while you wait? Oh and while you're there check out the ingame store..." Go explore or do a side quest. jesus christ you timespergs are killing me.

Had to switch from hard to normal. The combat is way too chaotic and the controls are way too borked to play tactically. I don't even know what good Ice Wall is, enemies seem to bust right through it or Cassandra seems to Bull Charge through it 75% of the time. Just switch to normal, pick a character and play through the next fight as a Mage/two handed fighter/sword and board fighter/dagger rogue/archer rogue and switch between fights so it doesn't get stale. I wandered into the wrong part of the Hinterlands and got killed handily by some demons double my level.

Kaizer88 posted:Why won't the game let me gently caress Vivienne When they made that announcement, my heart broke.  Drifter posted:Go explore or do a side quest. jesus christ you timespergs are killing me. Yeah, I sent all my advisers on missions and they were literally all done before I'd even found the loving blacksmith. If you look around and talk to people or, well, play the game, that stuff gets done before you know.

I'm having a great time on Hard and ice wall may not be useful on its own but there are other spells that utilize it very nicely. Howdo I increase my mana capacity for my mage? I can pretty much only cast one spell at a time whereas Viv and SOlas can cast two-ish.

VDay posted:Yeah it's constantly reminding me of Witcher 2 as well. The fact that the inventory management/UI is almost exactly the same as in Witcher 2 certainly helps. There's even a shot in the cutscene at the beginning when Cassandra and Leliana walk in and there's some DoF blur in the doorway that immediately reminded me of the cutscene in the beginning of Witcher 2 when Roche first comes in to talk to you and it has the same blurry effect. I want a pure tactical mode and would pay real money for it. Shumagorath fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Nov 19, 2014 |

quaunaut posted:On the other hand, every drat time I get into even a small conversation with Scout Harding I swoon a bit. She's smart, capable, funny, cute, and the least pretentious character in the whole game. And the only one with fashion sense. I had to meet her three separate times before I realized she was the same person. I guess my brain just assumed they were pulling some DA 2 style asset reuse.

God drat, I still can't get over how loving huge each map is. Also, I really like how the game looks, and although it's *slightly* annoying, it's still pretty drat cool how your character slows down and changes animation slightly when you're walking up a steep hill.

Man, melee in this game is a chore. I think mostly because it doesn't run you to a target if you are too far away or have you jump closer Batman-style, you just whiff your attack if the monster decides to even slowly back up while you are swinging. Kind of sucks because I usually like to play the big armored guy in this kind of game. Rerolled as an archer and that's a lot more fun. I just sit back and plink away and disappear if anyone notices me.

Reading around more it sounds like that borderless windows option fixes a lot of directx issues so I'll try that tonight and hope for the best. As far as I can tell Bioware didn't respond to any of it so far. What a mess.Drifter posted:Go explore or do a side quest. jesus christ you timespergs are killing me. I assume it does but does the timer countdown while ingame only?

This may have already been brought up, but does anyone else have a major lag problem (like a slideshow) whenever they enter a new area? The game runs smooth as silk on mostly high settings the rest of the time, but when I enter a new area, or return to a previous area, it practically turns into a slideshow for about a minute, and then it runs perfectly. I'm guessing it's because I don't have a SSD (I know...), but I didn't know if there might be something else causing it.

I mean...cool armour and everything, but it doesn't feel fun. Going to try rolling archer or mage... Strangely I think the game wants you to roll a range or mage character given the abundance of warrior companions in the game.

SirDrone posted:I'm going to take a wild stab and guess Shapeshifting doesn't return and Morrigan has none of her gimmick abilities. drat I really did miss cutscenes triggering and showing a gigantic rear end spider trying to pull Dwarven politics. Even if the tactical view didn't suck, the reduced spell arsenal would make playing as a Mage pretty bad compared to DA:O. Shumagorath fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Nov 19, 2014 |

I really like this game but the UI/controls loving suck and they made some really lazy design calls on a lot of it. I'd like to see them patch in: - auto attack toggle - click to move towards object - Somehow unfuck the tactical mode, I still have not found a satisfying bind setup for it - Action queuing for tactical mode - Move towards target to initiate action. It is beyond annoying standing nearby whiffing because the target moved a bit and you took your eyes away for a second

I think the worst part for me so far is when I pause and switch characters the game will auto unpause. Why the gently caress would you do that.

^^^ it doesn't do that for me?The Gunslinger posted:I really like this game but the UI/controls loving suck and they made some really lazy design calls on a lot of it. For me tac cam would be best served by two changes--adding strafing so I can easily move the camera left and right without having to adjust the point of view, and putting zoom on the mouse wheel instead of how you move the mouse. Queuing has never been DA games, so I don't miss it. No opinion on the others as of yet.

I'm guessing it's because I don't have a SSD (I know...), but I didn't know if there might be something else causing it. When the load screen disappears and you're in the level it's loaded only the assets for that small part of the map. While you start playing its streaming in the rest of the map. This helps dramatically with load times and decreases load screens but if you have a hard drive it can slow down a bit as you see. (The consoles are easier to target for a seamless experience since their storage devices should have the same speed)

It's unfortunate Sera is so bad because her general opinions on the state of the world, your actions, etc. are all the most sensible

If anyone is having trouble buying this loving game like I am, it seems Origin isn't currently able to process purchases for many people. They currently recommend waiting 24-hours before trying again.

Only time I encounter hitching or graphic/sound errors is if I've been taking screenshots. Which is to say I get them all the time, but only when I hit the button.

Lotish posted:^^^ it doesn't do that for me? I can't speak to the zoom thing, becuase I actually love the mouselook zoom instead of the scroll whell zoom in tac mode, but just rebind the tactical view camera mode to be the same as the movement mode. You can double bind because those are two separate camera modes. And the game does occasionally unpause when switching between characters when not in tactical mode. It's rather annoying. But I mostly fight in tac-cam so it's not that big a deal.

I took your suggestion to swap pause and jump and it's just so much better. it's really amazing how a simple thing as a default key-bind setup can pretty much ruin a game. Who the gently caress are the people who play tested this game, and why did NO previewer or reviewer make mention of the lovely default binds? God drat. Stupid loving bloggers.

One thing I do appreciate about the game is that each character has their own separate save folder for savegames, which is amazing. The controls are still totally hosed though.

monster on a stick posted:Is the lots of RAM on the graphics card a hard requirement? Mine is only 1GB I'm running the game on Ultra with a 2GB 7870, 16 GB RAM and an AMD Phenom II 955 BE. It's smooth as butter except for a little stuttering when I zone. I'd think if you don't go nuts with the graphic settings the rest of your PC isn't an e-machine you'll be okay.
