    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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.
  15. Pyros

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dark Souls 2

    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...

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...
  32. Pyros

    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...
  35. Pyros

    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...
  36. Pyros

    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.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...
