Weird thing I found. After Blackwall randomly showed up in my Inquisitor's bedroom and kissed her, (was not even trying to romance him), there was a guy standing in the wine cask area. He asked me if I was ready for the "Quizquisition" and asked me some trivia questions. I failed, and he disappeared.

before I go much further in the game, can you be hurting for time on doing things on the world map? just curious if I can relax and just do all the things on the world map, or if it ends up I'm having to make a lot of decisions

Cythereal posted:Where in the Fallow Mire do I find wisp essences? Finished the beacon subquest, but haven't seen any wisps or essences thereof in this miserable zone. Because people have been telling you wrong, there are three areas where about 5 or 6 of the green floating enemies spawn. There is one among them who is a special type who drops those essences. You'll know him because he always has a barrier and takes a bit to kill. They're at the island near the bottom right of the map, one at the far left, and one near the center. The areas are the Old Thoroughfare, Weeping Spires, and Granite Point. Knight Enchanter is so fun.

Diogines posted:It should actually. The Chantry being in Except the Popes in Avingon resulted in one of the worst Schisms and conflicts over whether the Pope was a Pope or the Anti-Pope and as much as I'm enjoying my first few hours into this game I suspect its never going to be as interestingly nuanced as medieval Europe was.

So, 20 hours in, and I am astounded with how good this game really is. At best, I wanted a game to hold me over until Witcher 3, but didn't actually expect a game to be able to compete with it. I haven't seen this much content in a story driven RPG since Baldur's Gate 2. Also, gently caress the haters, I like Sera. I like everyone actually. If this is the new direction for Bioware, I can't wait until Mass Effect not-four.

If I remember correctly the Anderfels are described as a land of steppes and mountains of extremes of heat and cold, and peopled by bearded barbarians who are led by a ruthless military order (the Grey Wardens) and practice ritual scarification. If that's what they think Germany is or was like, then I am quite baffled.

She introduces herself by stealing the pants from the enemies around her and does things like sends you on a mission to get a jar of beeeeeees (sic) with a document with a butt drawn on it. I'm not sure it's possible to overexpress how Randomly Wacky she is.

This thread moves to fast and I bet this has already been answered fifteen pages ago, but can I change the clothes my inquisitor wears while in the base? Everyone else is a fancy motherfucker but my inquisitor is wearing this awful tan thing that makes her look like a villain on Star Trek (even more so than being a Quanari). edit: this game is really good.

I hope this is true just for hilarious lack of historical understanding it would show, there was no real such thing as Germany at the analogous historical point the Dragon age universe corresponds with and even the most prevalent state (being Prussia) was nothing like that at all. Gaider is almost self satirising at this point.

When Sera is just chatting normally and not slipping British chav slang into every sentence she's actually a decent character. There's definitely a good back story to her being an anti-establishment agitator. It's just that it almost never happens and she's constantly dropping British slang like "innit" and "arse" and saying "shite" instead of "poo poo" like everyone else and generally being 'lol I'm so random' I'll give Bioware credit, they wrote Sera for a specific section of their fanbase and absolutely nailed it. Reddit, Neogaf, tumblr etc. all absolutely love Sera like she's the second coming. If Sera was given a similar accent to the other Fereldan characters and dropped the constant London trash slang she'd be much, much more tolerable.

 Sera Thoughts I actually agree that the blame has to be shared between the writing and the voice actress. To say nothing of the actual content of her dialogue, the mere inflection and dialect of her speech is really off-putting because no one else in the entire three games talks like she does. So it doesn't make her seem provincial, it just makes her seem brain-damaged, like everyone else in Thedas (including her Friends) should be staring askance at this random girl who makes no sense. And then we get to the fact that the actress's delivery, most of the time, simply doesn't sell what the writers are trying to get the character to be. Like, I know exactly what the writers are going for, here; it's a very Whedonesque, Fireflyesque unflappable patois, and requires a very specific -- I'm not sure how else to say this -- intent to get across. This actress just doesn't get it. I'd be surprised if she herself even knows what Sera is saying most of the time.

so you can find out why the exalted marches on the dale happened. turns out an elf warrior fell in love with a human girl which caused a misunderstanding and ended with a human settlement being slaughtered by elf warriors. then the chantry marched their asses into the dales. like romeo and juliet if everything hosed up even worse.

Elves have been haughty long-lived, arrogant bow-wielding, orc-slaughtering, tossers in fantasy for so long that I am content with the elves of DA having to suffer for that by proxy at human hands. gently caress Elves.

Darth Windu posted:It isn't. It's a massive single player RPG with lots of very optional MMO style quests. Yeah. I'm pretty astonished, and I was really down on Bioware because of DA2 and ME3. I really wasn't expecting them to make something this expansive and this good. Also, Sera makes me think of - like - some sixteen year old British kid. This is kind of weird because of the whole 'romance' thing.

Harlock posted:The idea and concept of Sera is neat, the execution is just terrible. If I have it correct, Sera was adopted/abducted by a wealthy Human woman and raised to despise her own culture or something. There are many real world examples of that happening, the Aborginals in Australia, and it could make for a compelling story but its mired in tumblr randomness.

Just about all your other companions understand things like duty and responsibility and stuff and seeing them talk about it and the different ways they view that stuff is cool, but Sera's just so out of left field that you don't get anything out of her. Maybe I just haven't heard the right banter? All of my conversations with her have basically had like, a kernel of a decent idea caught up in what honestly comes off as flat out ignorance and selfishness. Which is cool and all, but why approach the Inquisition then? I tried taking her out with Solas, who was probably the other most anti-establishment person out of the companions and you can guess how that went.

GreenBuckanneer posted::| Someone mentioned that you beat the game at Inquisition level 10 or so. I'm 6 and am just about to wrap up Act 1 from the looks of things. Unless the rest of the game is literally a race to the finish or the point requirements skyrocket, I'm going to have some freedom with my points, so I went ahead and took the knowledge perks like History and Politics. They come in handy as alternatives for hiring Agents if you didn't bring the right companion to handle it for you. Still need to find enough agents or pick a perk to waste in secrets so I can get Deft Hands. All those locked doors bug me.

Is there a way to get rogue skills like Twin Fangs to actually loving hit half the time? 90% of the time it feels like they miss because an enemy moves forward just one step and it doesn't leap at them or it decides that even though you were right behind them it counts as the flank and does poo poo all damage. Locking on doesn't seem to do anything.

I've been playing all day and night and after reaching what I imagine is about the halfway point story-wise I can say without hesitation that this is my favorite game of all time. The last game that had me so enraptured was Mass Effect 2 and Bioware has clearly learned a ton since then. Now someone tell me where to find elf-specific medium armor if it exists. I keep finding dwarf and human-specific armor sets and I want my confused elf to look her best.

Locking on doesn't seem to do anything. I had this problem a ton when I first started out with my rogue. As I've gotten more used to the combat system, I've gotten much better at landing it almost every time. I think it's just practice and learning your enemies. Some do a lot more lunging and moving than others, but they all telegraph their attacks so pay attention to those.
