Can someone tell me if I am going to cut myself off from content?

I'm in act 2 did winter palace and now the wardens have fled to adamant fortress or something and I'm going back to consult with my advisors. If I do the end of act 2 stuff will I not be able to do side quests for my companions anymore like gather books and kill cassandras mooks? I've exhausted the talks I can do without doing those.

Can anyone tell me if there are any of those battlemage armors (or anything that looks like heavy armor) that Qunari mages can wear? I'm not that far into the game but the ones I've found so far are for humans only and I'm gonna be pissed if I miss out on looking rad.

Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time.
I really enjoyed the first parts of the game, but I`ve been kind of unlucky with this years releases and got some annoying bugs.

With the crappy pc controls I went for an xbox 360 controller but now that i got used to it the rumble bugged out and it feels like I`m partially deaf, like all the sounds are somehow muffled. Add that to some weird bug that makes everyone (including mobs) stop fighting for several seconds during encounters and sometimes even bugs out the rifts, and I got really turned off.

I think I`ll take the opportunity to go and play some DA:O and hope they fix stuff in the meantime.

There are several spots where Wraiths spawn infinitely. Sit around and kill them as they pop.

There is a spot with a large circle of stones in the south east, near the 2nd camp, there is a landmark for it as well, inside is a Pure Wisp miniboss, and outside is a respawning Wraith by a stone arch as well. Just camp that arch.

Will do, thanks.

You get a point of no return in relationships, after which you'll be locked to them unless you decide to break up with them, atleast for the party members. They usually have personal quests as the point of no return, with Dorian it's a quest you get from Giselle. Atleast if you start trying to suck his face off, afterwards.

Not sure if you can have multiple romances at the same time, though.
Probably not.

Yes, easily. You get barrier aka health for every attack you do, and your mana regens as quickly as you expend it since you're close to an enemy while hitting him. You can run up to stuff and just keep mashing X until stuff dies.

You get to a point where you can confirm a relationship with someone and then it's locked in. You cannot break up with them after that and will get turned down by everyone else.

Atleast that was possible with Dorian, even got the game going [This will end your relationship with Dorian] when I hovered over the we should talk + we should break up choice.

Entirely possible it might be fully locked later though, still only in act 2.

Any tips on playing an Alchemist in multiplayer? The skills she gets look great but holy hell is the low level stuff tough. You only get magic mine and stealth. My attacks always seem to wiz by enemies too since I have an aoe dagger on, so that's frustrating. I've been playing an archer until I unlocked this class and got used to being lazy in the background.

Yes you can still break up up to a point where you have a clear indication that you are committing to a relationship. Then after that the option to break up is gone. You only get We should Talk + Kiss Me. This is with Blackwall, unless it differs from every other companion.

There's no break up option for Solas, but I think he's the only one. Unless I'm wrong. But I never saw one. I thought the romance was broken for a long time.

I'm really enjoying this Witcher 2 mod but the gathering is loving killing me. Would it have been too much for you to right-click and move to the thing you clicked on? Is it worth it for me to just send my advisors on a never-ending series of resource missions, and if I do so, will I never have to loot another body?

I'm aware there is a number of wasted points. Having been playing my Knight-Enchanter a lot, I'm finding my decision to pick up Static Cage, and Conductive Current to be not worth it at all. I'm considering swapping to go deep into Fire for Fire Mine or maybe Wall of Fire, but panic seems like more an annoyance than a boon. Alternatively, going into Spirit straight through to pick up Strength of Spirits so I can barrier myself in emergencies. Comes down to extra damage or even more survivability I suppose.

Also people seem to ignore that Fade Cloak with with Decloaking Blast can not only be used defensively, but offensively as well, it hits like a truck.

So I skimped a bit so I could pick up Fire Mine and Strength of Spirits. Dropping Fire Mine for 0 mana and watching absolutely everything just go up in flames is beautiful.

This script lets you buy back an infinite amount of any item you sell, even if you only have 1. Everything else is pretty easy to find, and I don't think there's any complete/working table yet. Gold, perks, and experience is 4 bytes, ability points are floats.

Anyone else having problems with this game hard-locking at the 'Press start button' screen? I have maybe 4-5 hours into the game on my Xbox One and suddenly today the game won't launch. It just hangs at the screen with Templars and Mages walking (on my Xbox it says "Press menu button").

Over at the Cheatengine forums the thread for the game Page 10 it has a combined CE file. I couldn't get it to work. I guess you have to be in Skyhold, which I have yet to get to.

I ended up using a trainer from MrAntiFun.com, which did work for me.

Also weird given what Iron Bull says about them. That they are lost to rage and anger, and that as a Kossith his greatest fear is losing himself to the same. Or that could be Qun propoganda designed to enforce the Qunari mentality of the Qun as central to life.

So, are mounts mostly freemium DLC stuff? I see spaces for like 25-30 mounts in single player, and I'm almost done with act 2 and haven't seen any other chance to get a mount.

Qunari are not kossith.

Antiva and Rivain are "I can't believe it's not the Iberian Peninsula", the Elves are totally the Irish which basically makes Ferelden England
There isn't really a Germany, although you could sort of see Anderfels as one.
The Tevinter are clearly a bizarro Byzantium.
The Qunari seem to be a mishmash of "not europe", with large portions of Islam for effect.

According to Gaider, the Anderfels are as close to Germany as Dragon Age gets.

Also, both Merrill and Solas have Welsh accents, but some of the random Dalish npcs definitely have Irish ones. I think they just went for "like English accent but not quite" for them.

I am loving the fact that Bioware answered the "How the gently caress can we equip helmets on horned Qunari?" with "we can't, that would look stupid - they have magical bad rear end rockstar face paint instead."

I never liked any of the helmets or headwear in DA:O or DA2. Give me death metal face paint anyway. I ... WANNA KILL DEMONS ALL NIGHT, and MINE IRON EVERYDAY!

Dolash posted:

Not done yet, but I wanted to mention that I'm weirdly impressed with how the Mage/Templar situation was handled in Act 1. After the frustrating "everyone's an rear end in a top hat" approach they took in DA2, they managed to make both sides seem pretty reasonable but with their own issues. Having Corypheus trying to subvert both sides and you effectively picking which one to save is a better way to present the choices than picking one based on an awkward, ginned-up conflict.

I went with the mages, but I ended up feeling sorry for the Templars for what happened to them and heaping it on Corypheus's head rather than thinking "Hah! [Other Side] got what they deserved!" Considering how miserably the whole war kicked off in DA2, this was a pretty decent recovery.


I guess I've always been more sympathetic to the mages since it's a condition you're born into, rather than the Templar who are recruited and could in theory take off the armor whenever they like. The two sides aren't conceptually equal since in one case you're against a specific organization while in the other you're against a kind of person. The end of the Templar Order really just means the end of an order of Knights, but it could be remade or a new one could rise up. Killing all the mages/letting them be destroyed is going to leave the next generation of kids born with magic in a pretty precarious position.

Yeah, I liked that detail too. Sure, both sides are still being corrupted at least partially by evil magic, but it's a lot easier to swallow when it's based on the deliberate actions of a single villain. Having one figure to blame for twisting both sides, along with giving them actual reasons to consider unusually extreme actions like the Breach's destructive appearance, makes it all more understandable.

It makes you see the two factions as victims of a corrupt force rather than just all being completely unreasonable just to drum up false conflict. Seeing the twisted monstrosities the fallen get turned into to serve only help sell it. Of course they still had to let enormous groups of lunatics run around for the obligatory fights, but they minimized the impact by making both renegade splinter factions that the official groups want nothing to do with.
