I don't think guard on hit is particularily broken, at least on a warrior and especially a tank. It's very easy to get full guard in seconds just using shouts or blocking a couple of attacks and you take so little damage on front attacks that your guard rarely drops. I killed the crestwood...

I agree that you won't know about rushing to Hissing Wastes for plans or whatever, but that Stormheart is very obvious, in a zone that has a story quest leading into it and is a fairly early zone. If you decide to farm stormheart and craft tier 2 schematics(found on a vendor in val royeaux so...

If you get fade touched cloth, some of it has 10% chance per hit to proc hidden blades, with the tier of cloth adding hits(3 for tier 1 and up to 5hits hidden blades for tier3). Type of cloth is the shit that's most often dropped too, at least for tier2, I think I had 5 of the fadetouched ones...

Btw in case of there's dirty yuros around, currently arena is bugged on EU servers and give normal packs instead of GVG, so don't waste your gold/money on them for now. They're investigating it.

You can get access to it fairly early. Regardless, melee rogue gets good way earlier than that. Imo it gets good as soon as you get the fuck out of hinterlands and hit Val Royeaux, you just buy the tier 2 dagger schematics there and craft yourself a pair of good daggers, then you recraft the...

If you go tempest anything, I'd recommend not getting Thousand Cuts and just using the Inquisitor focus, as Thousand Cuts utterly breaks the game. Though I guess this is more true for melee rogue due to higher damage potential, but still. It's a bit like how if you go assassin you don't use the...

The Vita seems to have very niche unique games but if you're not into these, it seems pretty shit other than the PS4 streaming thing which might or might not work well depending on a lot of factors apparently. There's a few games that look interesting to me on it but I don't think I'll bother...

Yeah I found a fairly large post that describe all the gameplay elements and the goals of the game on NeoGAF, it's actually very much like any normal game, just in a stupid large world. You progress by killing shit/trading/exploring/mining, getting money and new gear/ship upgrades to get into...

Yeah I guess, but I still think the combat could be a lot better. Basically by stopping trying to still be a crpg and just going full action. If you're gonna have the tactical camera and tactics abortion thing, just throw it all away and make the combat more responsive and more fun and just keep...

The scaling should have been more extensive yeah, it's not THAT bad though, but some levels get kinda weird, especially the mid tier zones like Exalted Plains. On the quest lines there's the companion questlines and the romance shit, that's why there's not much of anything else, it's a lot of...

Believe they mentionned during TGS that there would be full coop for this, or well less shitty coop systems at least where you can just fight together.

The horse in Shadow of the Collossus would turn by itself to avoid obstacles too, though in some cases if you ran straight into a wall it'd go full stop. On that note the horse in shadow of the collossus was probably the best in any video game I've played, but this had a lot of similarities, the...

Oh and in case you don't watch until the end, they said Starfox is coming before Zelda in 2015.

I recommend checking the spoilers threads on reddit and stuff, there's a LOT of very cool stuff in the Cole cryptic discussions and stuff that wouldn't appear relevant until you finish the game. I was pretty disapointed by the ending too until the after credit scene which redeemed the whole...

As a rogue I didn't care too much, I would stick Cassandra on the melee mobs and I'd dispatch the ranged mobs myself, so they weren't getting knocked down, only the melees and I got used to judging when a knockdown was coming anyway, I'd generally just autoattack for a bit then hit them on the...

Yeah that's what I meant with melee can be frustrating, the knockdowns/knockbacks can be a fucking pain. On the other hand if you play the only melee with 3 ranged companions, then you don't care and in fact you do all the bashing yourself, nothing quite as satisfying as shield bashing like 4...

Well you can play whatever you want yeah, so that's not a big deal if you don't want to play "your" character instead of a companion. Matter of taste really on what you're going to like, melee combat can be frustrating though.

I guess a ring would be nice on a mage and probably works, I guess.

I think the stagger is on being hit? Might be another mod on hit though, not sure. I know it seemed to work well with Horn of Valor on hit, though I think there's an internal cd on that as it wasn't up all the time, but I might have been out of range(since mages tend to be pretty far). I put...

I picked Champion but doesn't really make much of a difference. Tbh I think Reaver might be better than both, since tanking is never the issue, you don't need any specialization to be immortal. I haven't played Reaver though, so that's just me guessing it'd be good. The Champion taunt does...

Well there's quite a big difference between 7hits and 38hits. Hidden blades is on a 30ish secs cooldown also and I don't think there's a way to reset or reduce that(other than cooldown amulet). But yeah assassin burst is good, though if you play tempest you get similar bursts, kinda. Lightning...

I don't know about better and I didn't play archer, but I liked the flasks a lot, they're fun to use. Frost is probably less useful on ranged but still good if you get something on you(it's great for melee rogue because it freezes on contact, so you can run up to a mob, freeze it, then shatter...

It resets your skill points, it doesn't let you choose another spec. Once you've picked a spec, you have to stick with it, so make sure to save first so if you don't like your spec you can go back. I personally just ran a few side quests with templar and champion on my tank to figure out what I...

From what I've read, you don't actually need to be 10, someone mentionned getting it at lvl 8 when he got to skyhold regardless.

There's shards in basically every other zones, Exalted plains, Emerald Graves, Emprise du Lion and Hissing Wastes.

Well I think they only spawn when you're on the quest in hinterlands, there's plenty in emerald graves though.

It's just a way for people to advance the story without doing sidequests basically. Instead of doing sidequests, you grind gathering shit and get all your power and ignore most of the game to finish it. If you're actually playing the game, you should absolutely never do requisitions, since you...

I personally didn't like Veilstrike, since it does no damage, so I didn't bother upgrading it(still need to take it for the passives). I'd recommend getting Static Cage or the magic missile thing instead, especially the magic missile can be used to combo off your other stuff(stonefist is also a...

The DPS drop would be more than slight, but still could work nicely. On Fire spells, just don't take the fear ones then. I don't have an issue as a rogue because the firewalls are mostly to prevent the melees from reaching my mages and I dispatch the casters and shit myself. Also any damage...

Making boring collection stuff almost mandatory due to giving too much power is actually the shitty way to do it. The way it's done, if you don't want to collect them, you lose almost nothing. Hell resist is pretty shit unless it's group(which I don't think it is), because like, who actually...

I think you can switch but you need to break up first probably. And yeah Sera is lesbian only, though since Josephine is bi, can't really infer what your character is. If you're playing a male, Cassandra is your other option. And Dorian, if you're feeling adventurous. Or Iron Bull.

Yep that's where certain abilities become useful, like Haste and I think the KE last ability(not entirely sure I don't have it yet on Vivienne but if it does what I think it does, it'd be nice). Basically when you know the burst is coming, stop time and then proceed to rape shit. Wish you could...

Backflip is really good, but it's a 12secs cooldown and it's still less damage than twin fangs from behind or deathblow under 50% by a lot. Large part due to daggers having a fuckton more damage than any other weapons but also just in % and cooldown. Getting to deathblow range is the most...

Well there's a lot of bugs, glitches and so on. Game's still really good though, despite that shit. People with the console versions though have some of the worst issues. Just having only one save slot is terrible with the fact they can be corrupted.

For Reaver you need 3 skills(for every spec really there's 3 skills). You could easily drop Mighty Blow though, it's just not gonna be useful with Dragon's Rage as your spam damage skill. Warcry for ring of pain and then probably shattered ground or block and slash for the heart thing to regen...

Well the invuln is nice but once it's down, you don't have all that much in the tree that's useful. The taunt is suicide without a shield(or the invuln). Do you not play with a tank though? Tanks hold aggro well enough and you can do damage in that case. If you're the only "tank", going more...

If you mean getting a keep for inquisition perks keep requirements, it's not tied to story, there's keeps in certain zones and you clear them out to get them. I think the one you can get the earliest is in Crestwood.

Step 1: Download Hola for Chrome. Step 2: Select Mexico server. Step 3: Go to Origin, find DA:I, add to cart, proceed to payment. Step 4: Remove Hola if your payment doesn't go through(like paypal or what not), should still be in basket so you can pay that way instead. Game's 40$ without any...

A bit later on, you can get a vendor to come to Skyhold that sells contracts with merchants. Those basically give you reputation for the inquisition, and there's A TON of them to buy, so you can dump all excess money into them and get some inquisition perks for it. There's also high level...

Eh, my original plan with Dark souls 2 was to buy the original right away on PS3, then wait like 2years to buy the final version with all DLC on PC and replay it at that point. Sure I buy the same game twice but it's spread over a couple of years and when I buy it again it's super cheap and I...
