Fairly easy if you pay attention to anything that happened in the previous games or the DA:I base game. Some things were full on ignored in favor of giving people happy feels. Edit: Trespasser gets some marks for this freaking gem if you watch the credits: Dragon Age: Inquisition -...

JoH gave you the ability to make like 5 bear puns. I dunno how you can't love it for that reason ALONE.

I played a dagger rogue, knight enchanter mage and an archer rogue on nightmare. The archer felt the most OP, but I rolled with two mages and a tank which allowed me things like double dispels on rifts, staggered barriers, and awesome focus abilities. My archer was basically all of our dmg -...

Well it's not necessary to agree. A lot of it made no sense in favor of giving people the ending a lot probably wanted. Though I will challenge your "best dlc" claim. Jaws of Hakkon was far and away a great little piece of DLC, and the Descent changed how I felt about the deep roads.

Yea, I'm not super surprised they went that route. I was reading a few other forums to see if anyone was irked by it, and there were a surprising amount of people super happy about the ending. With that in mind, it's not surprising that they thought people were angry that maybe their Shepard...

Just finished Trespasser, hated it. Interesting that a lot of reviews said Descent was the Omega of DA:I, but felt like trespasser was. That ended up being longer than I wanted. OH well.

As in, the lore, or a way to input decisions? The keep is a lot like Genesis was for ME; you pick choices and it becomes interactive. Unlike Genesis, you don't "play" the story - you pick specific things then hit "go" and Varric tells you the story. The only difference is you won't have much...

So on my second playthrough, one of the things that is really irking me is:

Plains is bugged. There's a specific section of the map that does not change, and that is the 21st area. Some people have managed to get it, but aren't sure how they did it. They tweeted it at Mike Laidlaw and they're apparently looking into it. You can return to Skyhold after that scene...

I agree with most of that.

Yea, this time I think i'll probably craft some resist gear and have them chug some tonics before I go in. I'm cautiously optimistic; Hinterlands was a far easier fight than it was prior, because my group makeup is mostly melee which limits what he can do. The adds mix it up a bit though...

Storm Coast dragon absolutely stomped me on my first playthrough at level 17ish. (Nightmare) I am not looking forward to him again, but it might actually be easier this time since I'm melee and not ranged.

Skyhold is very early, technically. Most people made the same mistake you did, where they stay forever in the few areas they get access to. It seems like what they wanted (And what most people advise you to do) is to leave those areas as soon as you have enough power to do the story quest that...

Ahh, thanks for the tips. I just got my tempest spec, so yea, lightning flask has been super great for nailing things down. I also kept flank attack, and with the fire flask it lets me zip around the battlefield fairly well. I might also grab the hook but I doubt it. I just crafted a few...

That's generally my strat now, but thigns like prowler mobs are super fucking annoying as a melee rogue. With bows I just flattened those guys; they didn't bother me at all. DW this time around, I'm just running into a bunch of things that I didn't even notice prior. I went tempest as my...

Yea, I was reading and found that later on I become a real force and get enough abilities to move around the field of battle that it's not too bad but I am going nuts currently. Hissing wastes is just slightly out of my level range but here's hoping.

Dual wield rogue is literally the most annoying thing I've done in this game. Decided my second playthrough would be that and jesus christ. As far as I can tell, nothing is specific to the fact that I picked DW, so I am just going bows again. Fuck chasing after things. I could play another...

So saw a thing today saying in the next few patches they are going to implement a bunch of features that didn't make it at launch. So I assume things like the book might get a purpose. Personally hoping for more opportunities to build my keep; not nearly enough of it!

Has anyone found armor schematics for the Inquisition flavored stuff? I found Orlesian easy enough, but I feel like I am totally glossing something over. I really like the silver/red scheme of that armor so I need like, a masterwork in it.

Yea, I paid attention a bit to what they said would happen if you used the wrong people. There was a bit of the demo at e3 where they said sending Leliana on a certain mission was "not optimal" and actually pissed her off. I tried to make educated decisions as to who was the best, but...

Curious, are there any major write ups on the companions, or anyway to access their level of approval with you? For the life of me I don't recall seeing a bar, but even a console command that would give me a numeric value would be great. Also wondering on how the approval actually plays out...

The conversation gossips are what got me first time around; my second time through I found some of the circles stayed around, and I would get 3 gossips from the same one. I had a map showing all of the secrets and was fairly sure I picked all of the "physical" secrets up, but was still short.

They said DA:I was influenced majorly by skyrim, so I think this was another of those things that were modeled after it. Skyrim's main quest line was pretty damn short also, but much like DA:I, you get so carried away finding other quests and doing other things that you don't just straight...

Finished the game:

I spent a good amount of time doing my character; I usually aim for all of the same things, so while there are obviously differences, going through most bioware games has me look pretty similar. I'll have to do a comparison post or some crap. Anyways, (Notable quest after you go to skyhold)...

Is it that different? The dwarf origin stories in DA:O were my absolute favorite - the human noble was quite good also but there was just that extra something with the dwarves. My main playthroughs are always human though so I had to keep up the trend.

I'm actually somewhat Meh on Iron Bull. I haven't really had him in my group, but I've enjoyed the cutscenes. I really love Sera though - she and Varric have some fully excellent sequences that just make you feel like you're a human again. Fuck Solas and Vivienne though. I like those...

If it's the hinterlands dragon, this one can be destroyed with use of the geography. Also on highest difficulty and was getting smashed, so anytime he lifted off I put my group underneath the edge of the mountain in whichever direction he flew in. IE, if he flew north, he'll probably come...

Shit, I missed this in the deluge of posts. Thanks for pointing this out; I think someone mentioned it earlier as well but didn't confirm. I put 2 pts into inq perks, 1 into connections, 5 into secrets and 1 into forces, but I don't think it was that one. There's an achievement for level...

After Full Completion of Here Lies the Abyss: Also, not sure who said it, but logging/stone camps aren't random - they are static, and there are a few maps people have been making with key locations, but as it's only been out for about a week it's obviously not filled in. It's obvious...

Anyone have a map with the locs of stone quarries or logging camps yet? I've come across many of the latter but now I need 8 bajillion of the former and I am likely just not looking in crannies enough to grab them. Also, Blackwall come on strong to my fem Inq and now I have to end the...

Maybe late to the game but the MP looks fantastic - like a dungeon crawl. Reminds me heavily of WoW dungeons. I loved ME3's MP so I am excited to try this one. But holy cow, I didn't even finish COD yet, WoW just released, and the 18th is going to run my credit card ragged. I did cancel...

Keep is up again but they borked some things because of an issue they were fixing. You won't be able to find your customized Warden, but it will pick one that most closely resembles your class/gender/race etc as a placeholder until it gets fixed. (And if you haven't uploaded it in the past it...

Yea, once you get the invite the Keep goes up in waves showcasing new features. The twitter feed tells you when it's up; I think they said Tuesday for next round.

I actually really like healing in most RPGS, though I think it's more because of the class than the actual ability. D&D games had clerics, and while they could obviously turn health in the right direction, having one with you brought all sorts of other challenges, as well as bonuses. You only...

What happened was you got her approval too high before her required conversation triggered; in order to fix it you need to give her things she hates, bump down her approval, get the convo started so she intiates with you, then get the approval high again. None of it matters because of the...

A-fucking-men. That was the biggest atrocity of DA2. I'll be honest; the only romances I've ever really liked were like, the pseudo romance with Bishop in NWN2. Sort of there, but not really. I don't need it thrown in my face. BUT VARRIC...was my bro. We were meant to be together. So...

Yea, holy shit, agree with this 239283098234%. Was on a level 24 grift with a friend; characters are not amazingly geared but nothing we really couldn't handle, and then the fucking mobs ugh. Like the worst mobs of ROS and we just got face raped. We were ahead of the timer, but obviously you...

So not sure if we've had much discussion about the Keep yet, but here's where you can sign up for the beta: Dragon Age Keep Beta and FAQ They've confirmed no direct save file import; at first I was irked - I'm not switching platforms, and who knows what little things will pop up. ME3 was...
