Lotish posted:It would have been nice if he had some kind of victory post Haven. I mean, he forces us to sacrifice Hawke or Loghain, but they are hardly a part of the game. If he forced us to make a Ashley/Kaiden choice like Saren did in ME1, it might have felt more personal. At the very least he needed to get something. Huh. I thought that the choice between Hawke or Stroud was fairly anaemic. I didn't even consider that Alistair or Loghain could be there instead, that makes it MUCH nastier!

Pick posted:Yeah, honestly it felt indulgent even in DA2. I didn't need to see Zevran or Nathaniel. Or Anders. The three of them between them make up my top three favourite characters from Origins and one was a ten-minute worthless dungeon, one was a slightly longer, more fun dungeon, and one was Anders. At least Nate showed up to give me a hand with Meredith.

In Wicked Eyes, how could I have reunited Celene and Briala? I got the locket, showed it to both of them, then when it came down to it took Gaspard down without implicating Briala. The game's acting as though I told Celene what Briala had been up to (had an option to apologise to Solas about it) and I didn't get an option to get them back together. Should I have gone with the three-way-truce? Also why does Solas's formal gear hat clip so horribly through his face?

Reveilled posted:It's a shame the events of both Origins and Inquisition, with how diverse the potential outcomes now are, mean he'll probably never show up again. They put the effort in for this game and it won't be much different for the next. Alistair/Loghain/Anora as ruler, right? And mostly if Alistair's a Warden then Loghain's king. If Alistair's king then Loghain's the warden or Stroud is bland placeholder. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept on pulling out that bunch in varying combinations for a while (plus Hawke, who isn't going away any time soon unless you killed her off). Apart from that it's godbaby/no godbaby and they pretty much wrote that whole deal out. Loghain even being available continues to be a delightful surprise to me. Alistair being king really does neuter the Fade choice in Inquisition. Player character from last game (lovingly recreated in the new character creator, if you're anything like me) or, um, moustachey guy from the last game? Gee I dunno

Wolfsheim posted:Speaking of mages, I'm considering doing another full trilogy playthrough starting with a DAO mage nightmare run. Obviously my main spec will be Arcane Warrior because how could you not, but is it worthwhile to throw Blood Magic on as my second or should I just stick with Spirit Healer? The idea of wading into battle in full plate and exploding the blood of every enemy around me as I tear through them with a sword is appealing, and I have no qualms about rolling with Wynne for the actual healing, but I have no idea how well the two specializations actually synergize. It wasn't on nightmare but that pairing was my first and only playthrough and it was a lot of fun. There's one particular spell that paralyses and does damage in a huge radius that I abused like crazy. Blood magic is also great plot-wise as I guess after the shitstorm at the Circle the mage warden learns zero lessons and is just like "yeah that was fun".

I've gone with mage for all three. After I had a mage Warden (which is the best origin I think) and a mage Hawke I couldn't see why I should change up. So on that note, if I was to want to do a rogue inquisitor, having only played mage in the past, is it worth replaying 2 as a rogue to get a feel for it? (for what it's worth, I enjoyed 2 and want to replay it at some point, since romancing Anders and rivaling Fenris made me feel bad and I'd like to try the opposite).

ApplesandOranges posted:DA2 Rogue plays a little differently from DAI Rogue, although the fundaemntals are the same. That said DA2 Rogue is pretty enjoyable, you get quick melee-close ins as daggers and explosions and rains of arrows as Archery. I think I'd go daggers because Varric's great and gently caress Sebastian in all possible ways. I didn't manage to make him hate me so I sort of want him around for my next game to get him firmly in the rival camp. Although I also lost Isabela post-Act 2 and I'll want to try and keep her for my second go. It was a good time, by some decision at the last possible moment I got her friendship high enough that she left (because I hadn't done her Questioning Beliefs) but I still had her passive bonus for the rest of the game. Isabela's got your back! (but she is not here).

Crow Jane posted:Dagger rogues are also tons of fun to play in DA2, albeit a bit ridiculous. They kill things fast enough that the endless waves of enemies become much less of a hassle. I'm in the same place on PS4, the only big things I have left to do is a dragon and the last mission. Also worried I might be overlevelled for the final boss, let alone the DLC. I'm level 23 or so. Not sure whether to finish it and do the DLC on another character, or hang around and do it with my current inquisitor, who is as far as I'm concerned the canon one (female elf mage romancing Solas) and the one who I'll carry over to future games. If it's a week I'll do it with her. If it's a month I'll maybe replay DA2 in the meantime and start a new guy, if I don't do a post-endgame one with my main inquisitor (Solas is a big part of my team but I guess I can go without)

So I'm playing a stabby rogue and at level 5 in the Hinterlands everything around my level dies super quick (playing on Hard) but I've picked up the Skirmisher skill, the upgrade from Flank Attack, and is the stealth supposed to last forever? I've not tested it in combat but regular stealth wears off right? I'm having to activate and deactivate regular stealth or my character is a constant ghost just from killing sheep for the refugees.

Once again this playthrough I spent way too long tooling around in Haven and listening to all the little conversations and now I'm at Skyhold it's again a disappointment that all of the Haven guys get replaced and have one line before never doing anything again. I always get quite attached to Minaeve, Seggrit and Adan, they have a lot of personality for such small roles.

So there are three dragons with names that don't in English describe their surroundings or elemental type: Kaltenzahn (ice dragon; German - cold tooth) Hivernal (ice dragon; French - winter) Vinsomer (lightning dragon; ?) Where does Vinsomer come from, language-wise? I can't work it out. e: I forgot the Mistral but that's French for a cold wind so she's in the club. It's just Vinsomer I don't get.

grack posted:Don't get me wrong, I did the Templar quest on a playthrough but I haven't gone back to it since, as the quest sucks and how it affects the rest of the game is not to my liking. Having Cole around early is good but Dorian is mad at you and that's not a worthwhile tradeoff. I enjoyed the quest itself, defending the great hall is real tense when you don't know it's coming or the consequences. And Barris is a good bro. The mage quest is absolutely better though. I much prefer Samson to Calpernia and killing Fiona made me feel like poo poo.

Warmachine posted:it's been forever since I heard Alistair be incurably stupid on screen. For my second DAI playthrough I had Alistair as the Warden ally and it was a real downer to hear how much the guy is phoning it in. He doesn't do much voice acting apart from the big role as Alistair and seems to just do bit parts in dramas, but his job in DAI is really lacklustre. It's especially bad when compared with how decent DA:O Alistair was. This time, really boring delivery with huge random pauses between sentences and even words. The voice direction in the game is mostly good so he was particularly disappointing. Al wasn't even stupid. He was just... dull. Loghain is miles better.

Blackwall spoilers: if you listen to him and read all the codices his lie becomes really apparent by the time you reach Skyhold. He says he was in Ferelden during the Blight, which is a red flag for anyone who played Origins anyway, since Alistair was pretty sure there were no other Wardens around. In Skyhold where Leliana hangs out there's a codex entry that's just another letter... from Warden Blackwall just after Cailan died, stating that he's stuck in Orlais with the other Wardens. It's so unsubtle and I'm sure everyone else took note of it but I didn't first time through.

Nasgate posted:So after watching a bit of gameplay and reading how much you guys seem to enjoy it, I am planning on getting Inquisition. However, I want to beat at least Origins first since i own ultimate. Are there any tips for what to do/what to skip? I've already done the raising an army for redcliffe, Dalish, and the Circle. In the middle of the Dwarf one. And any tips on making a broken PC in case i want to start over and make different choices? The combat is ok, but rarely gripping, so id like to power through poo poo when i go through with Hindsight. You're most of the way through the game. Orzammar is the longest of the four big setpieces. What origin are you playing? Mage is the most broken in Origins and II I think, not so much in Inquisition. The Keep lets you set your decisions to import into Inquisition if there's anything you regret and/or don't want to play.

He won't take me for a drink like he usually does and then disappear? I'm not romancing him or anything. Can I kickstart his quest somehow? I've zoned out and in again to be sure and yeah.

Bored posted:That quest has bugged out on the two playthroughs after my first. He just keeps hanging around and I have decent approval with my warrior even if it was a problem with approval on my rogue. He didn't leave until the 3rd act in my first playthrough, where his quest worked. That's after you go to the fade. I don't think you can get to that quest until after you do the winter palace, either. So you might just not be far enough along. As I said I just got back from the winter palace and did Adamant/the fade beforehand. My next main quest is What Pride Had Wrought, the temple of Mythal stuff. Me and Blackwall are pretty good pals I think, I exiled the Wardens but kept him around, and got Celene killed which he didn't like much, but apart from that we're on decent terms. Blackwall's page on the DA wiki now says his first name is Gordon which I think is great. Warden Gordon. Is that name said in the game?

I found a few new Bianca schematics which is great but everything so far results in a straight damage drop from some uncommon arms that I picked up god knows where  I'd never seen Arms VII before but even with dragon bone it doesn't get better than what he's got. 215 DPS is good enough I guess. With +5 guard armour he holds up just fine. Relatedly do staff schematics ever end up with 200+ damage? I can make a ton of staves but none are that impressive. Dorian's falling behind in damage though that's not really why I keep him around. Meanwhile I've got a pair of 450 DPS daggers and shred everything
