    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Note that if the mage without it preferred isn't in range to cast shit, he'll cast barrier instead so it's not really 100%. For dragons and shit you might want to turn it off and do it manually. Works decently most of the time though.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    What sucked was the mmo-like mechanic where it puts lightning circles on everyone and people do damage to each other. I figured you could dispel it but half the time everyone would get hit like twice by the time fuckface would finish casting dispel, and for dispel to be efficient they all had to...

    Killed my first dragon, wasn't very impressed. I mean it did take me a few wipes until I figured I shouldn't bother trying to keep my retarded team alive and just dump my focus stuff and as much damage as I could before finishing it 1vs1. I'm pretty sure Turn the Bolt is bugged as shit though...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Well on mages, you have to consider their specialization if you're playing on nightmare. Also there's a 3rd mage, Dorian, you might not have him yet though but he's imo the best mage character in terms of dialogue and shit. In terms of spec, Dorian and Solas are really good while Vivienne gets...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Hmm don't seem like bugs too much. In first case it should have switched automatically to another char but you don't really die until everyone's dead, you can get people up. On the horses, you can just call your horse the normal way to do the races. It just happens to be there too when you pick...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    It's explained in the text thingie when you select your race. Though it's a very small explanation. As a dalish, you're more or less a spy sent there to see what the humans are gonna decide iirc.

    Wii U

    It was explained before in this thread but basically, smash uses a system that's the opposite of the normal system. You start at 0 "life" and as you take damage, your % increases. The higher it is, the more you're pushed away when you take damage, which makes it easier and easier to get knocked...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I assume it's not super different, I'm playing a dalish elf and there's definitely a bunch of dalish specific shit but it's not like a super big impact. There's some interesting parts though, since being the Herald of Andraste as an elf leads to a bunch of cool dialogues. Qunari I assume would...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah, Farcry4 is the same I believe, and it's probably going to keep going that way at least for AAA games. While you might have a faster dual core than some of the shittier quad cores and while many games don't use the cores correctly anyway, shit's old as hell so it's kinda expected at some...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Man only having 8slots sucks. Why is focus even an ability instead of its own slot. I'm trying to figure out if I want to spec my warrior as Champion or as Templar, but like I also need to figure out how many abilities I need to drop, probably being 2. I want payback strike since it has such a...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The way I do it for barrier with 2 mages is have one of them with a preferred barrier(solas who's spirit speced) and have the other mage with other stuff preferred(damage spells). Generally it means they'll cast their preferred stuff first, so they'll spend the first few seconds in a fight...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    DA:O and FF12 had very similar systems, you set up a "line" with an ability, a targetting scheme and a conditional and you unlock more slots as you go, which lets you customize multiple situations kinda like a script(if you have x mana then use this, if an enemy is close, then use that etc). I...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah well took knockout powder on Varric, surprise, he fucking runs in melee range to go sleep shit I'm fighting instead of only keeping it when shit gets on his ass, so I'm gonna respec him out of that too. I kinda wanted to spec Solas into cold stuff too to get mines as defensive measures but...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    On my last reroll, I went to Val Royeaux after only doing a few things in Hinterlands, and damn it changes everything. First you get like a level from codex entries shit, which helps with the "slow leveling" thing and not having enough skills. Second important thing, you unlock A LOT of...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Oh yeah the focus related stuff I was planning on getting that, just thought I'd get deft hands first since focus is fairly late into the game. What you're saying is there's not enough points for both? Like what's your inquisition level atm? Like stuff I wanted was, 1potion slot, forward...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    From what I was reading, Knight Enchanter is super broken and basically immortal, so kinda ruins the game, though not sure if it's people on nightmare complaining. But basically, you gain too much barrier from hitting shit so nothing can actually kill you. I don't know about rift mage but it...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm not sure what's the point of this, game's been out for almost a week, it's not day1 anymore, many people have sinked more than 30-60hours into the game already, there's no "hype" anymore, shit's over, at this point it's either good or bad, in this case it's good. It has flaws, a bunch of...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Hmm unless you mean something else, you get a Fire rune "recipe" like a couple of hours into the game in the Hinterlands. I assume other runes use the same system, though not entirely sure as I haven't progressed very far since I keep rerolling and shit.

    If you take some time to do conversations and read shit though, you can learn about most of the stuff quickly. Or you can read up a summary of what happened, can find them in various places, though you want to make sure it's spoiler free(wiki had a summary of DA2 with DA:I spoilers apparently)...

    Hearthstone

    Don't think there's a point in getting Violet Teachers until you have the druid combo cards, which include at least 1 force of nature, probably 2, and savage roars(1-2, kinda depends too). Keepers and Claw are really good though, but so is Ancient of Lore(at least 1). That's the main issue with...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    When you lock monsters or when you use the tactical view it shows their levels. There's a soft lock and a hard lock, I assume it's like R3 or L3 as in most games, can't help you with the details but that's how you see it on PC too, it's not displayed when you soft lock. My internet died the...

    30FPS fix is putting -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+ in your launch commands to force 60FPS even during cutscenes(which are capped at 30 because shitty engine or whatever they said). But yeah it results in issues during the multiplayer, there was a reddit thread about that...

    Well it's P2P apparently so if you don't host and connect to a shitty host, you'd lag terribly. Might be other issues though don't know.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Caliane that's true also, point is a lot of the reviews are shit. However I'd say early on, the metacritic of a game will tend to be fairly skewed one way or the other, just because a ton of people haven't even played the game, or played it enough to form an inteligent review about it. An...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    First quarter, so probably like end of janurary/mid february I would assume. No real release date though.

    I do, but don't expect to use it. I will however use autohotkey to fix a few things. Toggle autoattack, autoloot on a single key, this kind of things that really should have been in but they didn't for whatever reason. It's UI stuff though, it's not like unplayable from what I've heard, just...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Reviews seem alright, game has minor issues, PC UI is fairly shit, but it looks like a decent enough game, so bought it. It's only 40$ anyway using a VPN, so it's not a huge deal. Preloading now, will use a VPN again to unlock when that's done, because fuck europe delayed release dates. Also...

    Not sure how you go from saying tactical view is necessary to being surprised people would want to use a mouse, considering tactical view is something that screams mouse controls rather than gamepad controls. Gamepad doesn't change much for the tactical view limitations though, can only select...

    Hearthstone

    But if you're playing against another control deck, you have a solid chance of getting a legendary on the field on their side too. Maybe against control war you can force him to "discard" shit like taskmaster, but meh. 4mana is fucking expensive considering the major drawback. Obviously too low...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Seems a bunch of people who started playing on GAF are complaining that, surprise, the PC UI is shit, specifically the tactical mode. Can't screen edge to move the camera, can't select more than one character at a time, can only give one order at a time to each character, can't zoom out...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Oh I didn't read the quote, was just talking in general, no story spoilers. Most people are sensitive enough about it without being told anyway, if the game's less than a week's old you don't talk about story major elements without spoiling, it's common sense.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Can make a separate thread with spoilers, but yeah otherwise do want spoilers tags, at least for story stuff. Don't need to spoiler shit like "omg rogue lvl 30 skills is so the tits" or "I totally banged that bisexual elf" but would rather not read about plot elements. Just did my keep thing...

    6 attack also means he's out of BGH range, which is pretty decent. But still looks too expensive, though druid with innervates can do a lot of fun stuff.

    Black Friday 2014 Gaming Deals

    It'll be worth it next year or so, maybe even in 2years depending on how long they take to localize some of the games coming up. Can still pick up all the current good games by then and play them. Well multiplayer stuff might be dead but I personnally don't care, I just want Bayonetta2, Zelda...

    Lost Ark Online, Hack n slash MMROPG

    Think I heard they scrapped it? Not sure. That's kinda the problem with korean stuff though, until it's ported we don't hear much of anything about them, so fairly pointless to get excited about trailers.

    Far Cry 4

    Seems they didn't send review copies to a bunch of people, said TotalBiscuit. Doesn't sound very reassuring when they're making sure certain people don't get copies. Don't really care too much about the game anyway so whatever, I'll probably pick the Farcry3 Blood Dragon thing instead when I...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Maybe a bit more modern, like NWO, but yeah kinda action mmo-ish. Didn't look particularily good to me but we'll see. Also the cash shop shit might not have been an issue in ME3, but that was mostly a matter of balancing. If they had balanced it otherwise, it would have been, so yeah, not...

    Valkyria Chronicles

    Well hopefully they take notice that a GOOD port sells better than a shitty one(or I hope it did, not sure of the FFXIII sales vs VC for example, FFXIII being a terrible port). And I think they're surprised it's selling as well as it is, I assume they expected it to sell at least decently...

    StarCraft 2

    Well first off, the game isn't translated in every language, a lot of non english speaking people play with the english client, so any ingame terms used in english wouldn't be shocking. Then for most of the foreign people living in developped countries, english isn't like some sort of alien...
