oatgan posted:Each area has a main questline for it I would recommend doing all of those because actual thought and effort was put into them. All the Go X and Pick Up Y quests become a slog by the end. Yeah I'm starting to get a bit fed up with the volume of crap quests and I'm about halfway through the game. No I don't have to do them and that's great but where are the sidequests with dialogue, multiple outcomes and so on? Outside of the story missions and the main quest in a particular zone I'm not seeing anything particularly interesting. Ok its a delivery quest, put some effort into it and maybe offer me a choice of just keeping the item instead or selling it to someone else. I came across one thing in the Storm Coast that seemed promising but instead it just devolved into rarrr kill everyone again. I hope I'm just missing some good ones so if people have any memorable ones then please post them.

So what's the best use of a high dragon outside of making sure Bull is there to ejaculate in Qun allover the carcass? Is the Wade armor worth it in Inquisition or is it better to have 10 dragon heads across my throne room?

Liberatore posted:I think the difficulties have different 'changes'. For instance, when jumping from normal to hard, I didn't notice any difference in damage dealt to enemies. But I did when trying casual, as well as when going from hard to nightmare. I presume enemy HP and damage dealt changes with every difficult, though. I'm pretty sure normal to hard increases what percentages the "Resistant to <element>" and "Very resistant to <element>" or whatever means. Nightmare must add more armor to everything or how much damage reduction armor values are worth or something.

For the Act 1 boss on nightmare: I ended having to kite the boss and mobs back towards the chantry. The boss is very slow so you don't have to worry about him, but you still need to get distance on him fast or else he'll trap you. Once you clear the ads the boss is very easy. I had no health potions at that point, and didn't need it so long as you keep keep it aggro'd on your tank. Clearing the ads was very tough though. You can also try and turtle in spots behind building in the village.

I just kept running around the circular base of the turret and then casting lightning cage when they all grouped up at the bottleneck. Did that a few times, and then did that when I only had one person, in order to revive other people while the angry boss chased me around. It was very Benny Hill.double nine posted:man has a point: https://twitter.com/McSkops/status/535134905651703808/photo/1 I don't think so? That looks like it's on incredibly low settings.

Drifter posted:I don't think so? That looks like it's on incredibly low settings. Yeah, looks much lower-res, and there's poorer textures than I recall from my game. Of course, that could all just be confirmation bias or something like that. I also kinda like the fact that Sera isn't at all conventionally attractive from a design perspective, though. Like, she cuts her own hair with a knife so it doesn't get in her face, and she doesn't exfoliate. I find her personality to be nails on a chalkboard, but at the same time, I respect that there's no "take off her glasses and lets down her hair and she's BEAUTIFUL" thing going on.

Sera gets way less annoying once the game properly starts. She is at least mostly pragmatic and matter of fact. I mean Bioware could totally have made her some kind of chaotic neutral truly random person but she really isn't. What I'm saying is she's way better than Isabella and funnier also. I don't dislike any of the companions though Vivienne gets on my nerves sometimes for clashing with my worldview.

poptart_fairy posted:So how is Nightmare difficulty anyway? I'm ploughing through Normal at a fairly steady rate and thinking of boosting up higher. Is it 'genuinely' challenging, or does it just turn everything into a one-shot coin toss of attrition? I'm loving the combat but it feels rather...flat at the moment. I've beer playing on nightmare from the start. It's not overly hard, but on the other hard but there are some challenging fights. Mostly it has been about about managing aggro - a one-handed warrior can tank pretty well, but if you're not careful and the enemies start killing off your mages you'll easily run out of healing potions.

There's a deep roads trading post in Hinterlands with some nice loot and a darkspawn hole that you can plug up with some old boards. Yeah, I don't know. It isn't long enough, because they look much better in the new engine.

I love that Josephine and Leliana are always super serious about whatever stupid petty errand you send them on through the war table, but during the late game, Cullen starts putting his foot down. 'No. This is ridiculous.' Also, everything including Morrigan in this game has been just as spectacular as the character deserves. Most of the characters have been very solid so far. They're not Mass Effect 2 good, but overall they're an engaging bunch. Even Sera had one interesting conversation.

Morrigan, why the gently caress are you talking about the Hero of Ferelden like he's your husband? He's a she, and romanced Zevran.

How bad are the effects of disapproval? I keep telling the mages how free they should be and how the Templars are a load of poo poo, and I think Vivienne is going to strangle me in my sleep. Also Sera but I don't give a drat about her.

Clearly she's so cut up by the fact that no one in her old party liked her that she had to invent a perfect fantasy life instead.  Does Morrigan have any scenes with Leliana, actually? I haven't done much since she joined, but they've totally ignored each other so far and it's a bit weird.

Autonomous Monster posted:Clearly she's so cut up by the fact that no one in her old party liked her that she had to invent a perfect fantasy life instead. Morrigan can gently caress right off. Who decided she's part of my war council now? You literally don't get an option to not take her along. All your dialogue prompts are various forms of "yes." Even the codex confirms that the Hero of Ferelden was a woman. I get that Morrigan is a plot device to get an eluvian and knowledge thereof to the Inquisition, but she's suddenly part of the war council, has a child with the male Hero of Ferelden even though the Hero of Ferelden was set as a woman, and everyone acts like I'm insane to distrust her. gently caress off, Gaider.

I somehow knew they were going to force Morrigan into your group like that, ugh. gently caress off Gaider. And thanks for the input about Nightmare, guys. Sounds like it evens out a bit when you start getting your poo poo together -I was worried it'd just be a horrible slog. Also, I'm certain Leliana's accent isn't as extreme as it was previously.

I really like that my Inquisitor feels like his own important character almost right off the bat. I usually just project myself onto main characters until I feel like they start to develop a personality beyond me, and I went into DA:I expecting to romance Josephine but it already feels more character-appropriate to bone Cassandra. I think it took until like ME3 for my Shepard to feel like he was a distinct and well-rounded human being.

So far, she's been a plot device to tell you about eluvians and conveniently provide one for the Inquisition. She tells you basically nothing except that the bad guy wants to use them. Why, pray tell, couldn't Solas have had that part? Morrigan's added nothing except to be mysterious and exotic and wear a ridiculously skimpy top, and somehow imagine that she married and had a child with the woman who saved Ferelden, only now she thinks the Hero was a man instead.

Not only that, but there's several conversations where you can choose aspects of your character's past (you can talk about your relationship with your family and how your time was at the Circle as a human mage, for example, with several different options for each). For me, that really makes the Inquisitor feel like my Inquisitor.

Yeah, like the part with Josephine where she asks about petitioning your family for help as a human noble, and you can right then and there decide if your character was a rebel, if she loves her family, etc. Small thing, but important.
