joneswt posted:So I just picked up Inquisition w/all the DLC from the PSN Cyber Monday sale. Any tips for a first playthrough? Any builds I should avoid? Get out of the Hinterlands after you've banked some power (8 should be sufficient and it's easy to come by). You can come back, but don't try to do everything or explore everywhere, you'll get bored and overleveled. I'd avoid Reaver/2h in general for a 1st playthrough. Everything else is fine. If you play as a woman, hit on Cassandra and Dorian as much as you can regardless of whether you intend to romance anyone. Crafting interface is clunky but you can break the game wide open that way. Use the Dragon Age Keep to import choices from previous games. If you never played any you can just randomly pick stuff  (You can ignore it too, there's a default world state and the choices really don't matter)

eating only apples posted:I wonder why they've never fixed the strange audio bug when you first go to the Temple of Sacred Ashes. I don't know how it is for a male, but with a female inquisitor, when you hear her interrupt Corypheus's ritual, she says "what's going on here?" in the most casual tone - it's actually a line from a later scene with Dorian and Giselle. In the Fade it's a different lineread and much more appropriate.  "

Starkid/the ending is just lovely horrible writing and none of it was intentional. Indoctrination theory is just that, a fan theory to try and explain away the lovely writing. If there was ever a time for them to grab onto it, it was when the whole fiasco with the end/EC was going on. Instead we got "you don't understand ART!" While I'd love a direct ME3 sequel (a well-written one, anyway) the reception to Andromeda has killed the franchise for the foreseeable future. You know it's bad when even EA won't do DLC to hoover up extra money.

BlazetheInferno posted:The problem is, the Keep doesn't actually import your choices. You have to enter them all manually, or else take the defaults. All the small decisions like sidequests, who you romanced, who you sided with on various main quests, all of it goes to a default until you enter what you prefer.  If you've linked your Origin account it does import saves, even from console.

God loving damnit EA, could you not kill every franchise I like? Keep up with this poo poo and you won't have any revenue at all when people stop buying your lootbox extravaganzas. e: I'm one of those people who will buy DLC when it comes out at full price if I like the game, so getting another $30-$45 out of me on top of the $60 launch price seems like a decent revenue stream as opposed to me never buying a lootbox ever.

I'm fine with paying $15 for 4-8 hours of content in a game I enjoy  If you feel like that's a ripoff then you can wait for the GOTY or not buy it at all. It's miles better than $3 for a box of random poo poo.

Because it sounds like most people's issues with DA2 eventually just boiled down to reused assets, while Andromeda had... a bunch of other problems. Also I ordered one o' them hoodies from the BW store and it got here today. It's actually pretty nice, not the original $70 pricetag nice, but this was  and I'd call it a bargain if you can find something you like in your size.

IIRC the entire story is plotted out, they know what all the major story beats are supposed to be and just try to work characters and subplots in around that. As opposed to ME which started off as a single thing and then got expanded into a trilogy and why the ending was such poo poo - because there was no plan until they got there. Also I bought Hard in Hightown. It's bad, but bad...like it's in character? The chapters you find in DAI are there with the rest of the story added on. Also "Varric" breaks the fourth wall at one point when he's describing the Isabella analogue's ship. "That roundish wooden part seemed like it could crush armadas beneath its...poo poo, I don't know, wood." It's also really short. tl,dr: fun enough, but I feel like the $12 they want for it is a bit much, especially for an e-reader version. I didn't check, but the hardback edition would be about right if it's the same price.

exquisite tea posted:Yeah but if that were true then you'd expect to see many examples of mages succeeding outside the circles. Instead you get the Dalish Elf dude who summons up a forest spirit who gives everyone some horrible werewolf curse, Arl Eamon's son who gets possessed, apostates summoning up blood magic, Tevinter magisters literally loving up the flow of time. It's comedic to the point of parody how much mages cannot be trusted in these games. e: beaten like a Tranquil
