I always find myself in a cave/ruin/whatever full of notes about a deeproads entrance and the darkspawn must be stopped!

Man, I just made Varric completely hate himself with one decision. These choices are harsh.

Rincewind posted:Is there much dwarf-specific content? In terms of conversations and stuff, I know there's plenty of old taigs and dwarven ruins to explore out there. I love dwarves, my warden was a dwarf, and I'm thinking of going dwarf for my second game, but the elven inquisitor was just so fitting to the story I'm worried about the dwarves just feeling tacked on. I had a lot of fun playing my dwarven inquisitor but I definitely think there was bit less content for them than the elves. Which makes sense, you meet a poo poo ton of elves in the game but only 2 major dwarves and I don't even think there was any opportunity to have a dwarf chat with Varric. Still worth it to have all npcs look down on you in cutscenes and the Warden-Commander Aeducan sending you a letter where he tells you to remember the stone. e; I was honestly really disappointed in the lack of dwarves in the game, I was hoping that we'd get to see Kal-Sharok

She's boring at best. Cassandra gets way more interesting as you advance the plot and she starts letting her guard down.

Only to find rocks are in the way or you can't open the door or it's been sealed off. You can get to some pretty decently sized Dwarven ruins and a Deep Roads entrance in Hinterlands. The quest was from some random note I found somewhere though. Edit: Didn't realize you were quoting an older post that got a few answers.

I know some people in this thread speculated a while ago that it seems like the game was built for an elven Inquisitor even more than a human one, so I'll be interested for my next playthrough. I decided to be a human Mage instead of an elf because humans are usually better integrated in this kind of thing.

Baiard posted:I'm stuck at the end boss fight. Some arbitrary amount of health of the boss gets crossed, and a loading screen starts loading a cutscene, but it just takes five minutes and then drops me back into the boss arena with a glitched boss who takes damage but cannot die. I guess I'll try a few more times and play it differently, but if not, I'll just drop the game until it gets patched I suppose. Are you using the 60fps cutscene fix? I had that problem with some cutscenes until I turned it off.

For those with the party banter bug, some people seem to have found a work around that's working for some. 1.) Fast travel to a camp 2.) Mount up 3.) Dismount 4.) Rest at the camp 5.) Play I've only given it 20-30 minutes, but I've already heard more party banter than I got in the previous 5-10 hours. I'm not sure if you need to do it every time you go to a new zone or what, but it seems to work. I am getting a weird glitch where Cassandra randomly says her "Again, we are victorious" line when we're just walking around as opposed to post-combat, but I'll take what I can get.

precision posted:Sera gets way less annoying once the game properly starts. She is at least mostly pragmatic and matter of fact. I mean Bioware could totally have made her some kind of chaotic neutral truly random person but she really isn't. Vivienne loving sucks. It's like they siphoned out Morrigans few redeeming features, and made some uber-bitch. Especially in the banter she comes across as insufferable.

Atleast when dorian insults someone in the party, he does it with flair or a hint of self awareness. Vivienne just goes "I'm better than ALL of you, respect me!" I wish I could go back in time and boot her rear end.

Downloading the game at the moment. I'm kinda stuck on what type of character I want to play. In games like this I always enjoy a warrior or an archer. Not a tank type warrior though, more like a "chopping people the gently caress up" type. At the same time, how much fun are the archery classes? Also it is correct that there are only 3 subclasses for each main class? I think Origins had more than that right?

enraged_camel posted:I've been thinking about the symbolism in this game, in terms of what the game's setting and lore was inspired by. So far I got this: I hit on some of this before, but to Tevinter is REALLY obviously the Byzantine Empire - it's decadent and evil, and the Byzantines were also pretty renowned for being decadent and, if not evil, fairly close to it. Antiva is Florentine Italy, not Spain - DA has another country that's Spain (Rivain, the home of Isabela the pirate lady from DA2). Antivans have Spanish accents because  . Zevran's tales of Antiva are straight out of Renaissance Italy.Elves as Jews, Blight as Islam... uh,  Dalish elves are pretty much straight out of Tolkien, and city elves being oppressed is a somewhat original inversion of the usual tropes, but... well, I'm not sure what's more racist, asserting Jews were ever a dominant society or that Muslims are brainless hordes of undead. (Plus as noted repeatedly, the Qunari are pretty much straight-up Caliphate-era Arab Muslims).

Thundercracker posted:I did like her political explanation about how it was an unbelievably bad idea to declare independence after anders terrorism. It was a well thought out point of view... coming from someone with a lot to lose and nothing to gain Yeah, that made a lot of sense. She seemed pretty even-handed about it, too, like: yeah, she can see why some mages might want independence, but was that really the time? If you make your move then, it comes off as opportunist at best, and as condoning (or even being involved in) a terrorist act at worst. Mages' situation got notably worse after the rebellion started and their timing and manner of rebellion earned them very, very few allies and a whole host of enemies. It was just dumb as hell. I'm not as cynical about mages needing to be restrained as some Dragon Age players. I think they definitely need a community, structure, and education, absolutely, because most of the stupid or evil mages we see are the ones who are either going it alone or are part of a small fringe group. It does seem possible, at least, that a large, unified community of mages, governed by experienced, wise mages (that "wise" part probably excludes Fiona) would be just as good at keeping abominations and blood mages at bay as the Templars have been, but without mages feeling dehumanized. But holy poo poo, mages make it so, so hard to like them, sometimes. In DA:O and DA2, just about every lone mage you meet is just stupid as gently caress, and in DA:I, the entire mage quest feels like you're herding a bunch of scared children. And Vivienne is dead on with her assessment of the rebellion: maybe it makes sense to some people, but this was one of the worst ways to possibly go about it.

ZZZorcerer posted:Maybe next playthrough then. Thanks ! Personally I went for the templars and I really don't regret it. I've heard both decisions are thematically appropriate. Spoilers for some war table fluff: I love how, keeping the templars as your allies, they seem genuinely repentful and ashamed for their acts and you can send them to help people around Thedas and they generally do a sensible and competent job at it.
