What are the easier dragons? Crestwood wasn't bad, but Hinterlands beat me last night mostly because of the adds that kept spawning making it hard to micromanage them and not standing in the fire.

I'm running around the hinterlands doing quests and I've gotten barely any banter. I did get a bit earlier on, so I don't know if this is *the* bug, or just a lack of party banter on my part while i'm running around doing useless quests. How do I tell?

Are there any vendors that sell useful crafting materials? I've got so little leather and cloth that I basically never craft armor, but I'd really love to get my hands on some Darkened Samite or Highever Weave and some more leather, too.

Rosalind posted:What are the easier dragons? Crestwood wasn't bad, but Hinterlands beat me last night mostly because of the adds that kept spawning making it hard to micromanage them and not standing in the fire. Let me think. Hinterlands is fire @ lvl 12- that should probably be the easiest, numerically, but she does like to perch on the cliffs and summon dragonlings. Crestwood is lightning @ lvl ...14? Not much stronger than the Hinterlands dragon, the worst thing she does is that magnet aura attack thing. Emerald Graves is ice @ lvl 17-19 or thereabouts. Pretty straightforward, just take a lot of ice resistance tonics and you should be fine. Western Approach was fire, I think, I can't remember the level but she was pretty easy too. Exalted Plains was... poo poo, I dunno. I think I took Solas so fire or lightning. No harder than the one in the Western Approach. Storm Coast was lightning, she's definitely level 19. More difficult than the others because she summons dragonlings rather than strafing. Emprise du Lion has three, two ice dragons at 20/21 and one fire at 23. The two ices were pretty easy, again they don't summon anything. Fire was at the bottom of a pit and probably the hardest yet. Best bet is probably Western Approach or Exalted Plains, though if you're having trouble with Hinterlands still you're going to have trouble with any of them.

I've only found one party configuration that avoids the bug for me, and it's the starting three (Solas, Cass, Varric). Everyone else is just quiet.

So how is Nightmare difficulty anyway? I'm ploughing through Normal at a fairly steady rate and thinking of boosting up higher. Is it 'genuinely' challenging, or does it just turn everything into a one-shot coin toss of attrition? I'm loving the combat but it feels rather...flat at the moment.

Anyone have experience testing out the Reaver in multiplayer? It's my first time through that tree, so I've decided to go with what seems to be the core Reaver skills: Devour, Ring of Pain, Dragonrage when I get it (Mighty blow in it's place until then). In MP you can map four active abilities (the other four slots are for potions/tonics/consumables, wish I would have realized that earlier on another character). That's fine, since I can appreciate trimming down ability bloat, but with the Reaver I've got one spot left and I'd like to use it for some defense/utility. My top two candidates have been the block and counter ability or combat roll. I'd really like to have both. I see guys with the roll moving much better in fights and as melee it seems like I spend a lot of time waiting to arrive at my next target. I have the same regret on my Legionnaire with the hook and grapple instead of combat roll. Back to the reaver, I'd also like to have some ability to tank things and generate a little guard with the block. How effective did you find these abilities? Are the core Reaver abilities worth building on or is a non-standard build more effective?

Ditch Dragonrage for the other one on the tree. Can't remember the name (Rampage?) but it's next to Dragonrage. It doesn't do as much damage but 10% heal per hit is required to stay alive in heavier fights. Plus the faster swing rate lets you generate more stamina which means longer Ring of Pain. My abilities at the moment (level 9) are Devour, Ring of Pain, Mighty Blow, and the other one. I like Mighty Blow because it has a knockdown, good for mages and despair demons trying to run away. Might switch it for Earthshaker, but apart from that I'm now just picking up passives to increase my murdering ability.

BUT it's sort of an "ignorance is bliss" type of happiness, because without being able to truly grow or understand people, he'll never have any lasting, meaningful relationships with them; it's implied that he and [his friend from the novel] Rhys will never reconcile. When all is said and done, he'll probably make the Inquisitor forget him too. Without reading this it sounds cool, can you non-spoil me how I can make sure I don't miss whatever quest this is?

It looks fine on the character create screen. But then they talk in the first cutscene and it looks like my char got the mouth of a chimpanzee. This is a couple pages back, but I have this same problem, and recently found this reddit page for character creation sliders. I wish Bioware had used face codes or something like ME, but this is what we got. http://www.reddit.com/r/inquisitionsliders/ I have a human male face that I finally like, but I realize in some of the cutscenes, he was looking a bit feminine.

I found him inside my Inquisitor's closet after he finished talking to Josephine on his balcony. It was kind of creepy.

Can others with the banter bug either test this out to see if it fixes things for them, or let us know if you've traveled to all your unlocked zones and still aren't getting banter?

At the time my Team OG banter came back I was exploring the Exalted Plains for the first time and had unlocked the Emerald Graves but hasn't visited it. Hadn't even unlocked the Hissing Wastes yet. I still haven't been there (though it is unlocked now). I do only seem to get the chatting back in zones I haven't explored, though I also haven't spent a lot of time in old zones lately.

I'm really dumb and seem to be stuck in the Templar quest. I've gone through the Fade and need to do find the lieutenants. I found that key but when I look for the lieutenants they don't seem to be where the map indicates. I can see one of them fighting through a gate but don't see how to get through the gate. Anybody know where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance, sorry I'm so bad at this.

Thanks, luckily I haven't taken dragonrage yet, so I won't have a wasted point. I think you're right that it's called Rampage. Since I already have the block skill, maybe I'll switch it with Mighty Blow if it looks like I'm going to be tanking things based on group composition, but otherwise keep Mighty Blow around.

Is it 'genuinely' challenging, or does it just turn everything into a one-shot coin toss of attrition? I'm loving the combat but it feels rather...flat at the moment. I'm playing on Nightmare and the difficulty varies wildly. I tried it with all three classes and some early fights were ridiculously (frustratingly) difficult, especially as a Warrior. But that's expected, especially considering how powerful your character becomes with specializations and some gear. I barely use tactical mode, though. I usually just use it to make sure my companions are using potions/grenades properly (I recommend setting reserve to 5), as well as use Barrier manually, and to make sure my archers/mages aren't getting cleaved/AoE'd to death. With that said, once I found out that you can break open most doors you have to lock pick, I planned on a party of 3 warriors and myself (a Mage); Once you set certain Warrior skills, like War Cry, to preferred, they can pretty much survive on their own with no micromanagement save for the occasional potion and Barrier. P.S.: I read about some guy who is playing on Nightmare with friendly fire on and he's level 6 at 20 hours in. Seriously, don't do that. I tried and I had to severely restrict the abilities my party could use as well as micromanage them constantly; Nothing worse than killing Cassandra because Chain Lightning decides to jump between your target and her rather than the two nearby enemies.

None of the in-game Deluxe extras have any bearing on the game, they're just extra gear/schematics and a few extra mounts. (The Bog Unicorn is ugly as poo poo, I haven't used the armored Inquisition mount, but my elf mage is using the Red Hart Halla. It makes annoying noises but looks nice. You quickly replace the Flames of the Inquisition gear you start off with. Later on you get schematics to craft improved versions of them, but I haven't really bothered. I'd only recommend the Deluxe edition if you think it's worth $10 for the soundtrack (which is on Spotify/Youtube anyway), or if you're totally okay with dropping an extra $10 for some gear you might not even bother to use.

You'll be glad of a mount in some of the later zones. The Hissing Wastes, for instance...so loving big. So much nothing. Which isn't to say that you have to pay real world money for an in-game mount.

I killed the Hinterlands dragon at that level on Hard as a Knight Enchanter. My companions used all the potions, mostly because of all the dragonlings. I think Sera and Solas might have died, but it didn't matter because I was basically able to solo it at that point. KE is great for killing dragons.

poptart_fairy posted:But what does that do? I think the difficulties have different 'changes'. For instance, when jumping from normal to hard, I didn't notice any difference in damage dealt to enemies. But I did when trying casual, as well as when going from hard to nightmare. I presume enemy HP and damage dealt changes with every difficult, though. The pride demon you fight in the prologue is a good example. On Nightmare, if you're a Rogue, your normal attacks do something like 2 or 3 damage to it. Because everyone else was dead during most of that fight, I sped it up by taking advantage of the short period where he is incapacitated to trigger Twin Fangs' combo bonus. I eventually did that again, and decided to drop the difficulty to Hard rather than deal with that crap again. Fortunately no fight came to that level of annoying since the prologue.
