    The Game Awards - Dec 5th 6PM PST

    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.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...
