Dragon Age: Inquisition

[Qistina]

is funny. you don't even see what you are saying, eh? the folks who is demanding a relaxing o' gender roles in malaysia is a group having a western bias. you recognize the problem given your earlier posts about western bias?

 

oh, and we sure as hell don't take one person's opinion as the whole truth about the role of women in malaysia... we will leave you to ponder that point.

 

HA! Good Fun!

 

Yes, because they use the west as their measure stick on gender roles. The west itself changed through history, the west are not nice in history, that is why there's feminism and human rights, and the west try to put everyone in your shoes through indoctrination. Like i said there are things that i agree with organization like SIS, but not everything. Human and society is not simple, we are living in stereotypes

 

Just to say, my ideology is nationalist socialist (left wing) and i am quite liberal

 

Does my picture make you think i am oppressed?

I can't imagine why BioWare banned you from their forums.  It's not like you never stay on topic and actually discuss a video game that the thread is about or anything.  No, they've obviously got a hidden agenda that we haven't yet figured out.

The Iron Bull dies a lot.  Which is weird considering how big and strong he's supposed to be.  He's always the first to fall though whenever my party is facing a particularly tough enemy.  Especially dragons -- which is even funnier because of how much he loves fighting dragons.

 

He does roll over and die far too often. A big hulking brute who falls over dead when fighting dragons, funny. I had him in for two dragon fights. First one wasn't bad, the next one he kept dieing so out of my party in the other six dragon fights I've been in. Cassandra and Blackwall have been my dragon fighters since.

This topic was going great until recently, now I have to assume the moderator role. Lets get back on topic, shall we?

[GhostofAnakin]

I finally got a good one-handed sword after defeating a dragon.  It was one of the ones in the Emprise de Lion (the one that shoots frost and is vulnerable to fire at the top of that coliseum).  Called Caliban or some such.

[CoM_Solaufein]

The card game was a nice touch. Take a break from all of your worries.

...must resist obvious references... it's hard

 

Edit to add: Still debating with myself whether to get the game or not. At the moment the nays have it. Maybe a few months into the new year.

So...weakest build?

Two-handed warriors seem kinda pointless.

You're mad. A mix of control, damage, and buffs. Pulling with the chain, devouring dragons with rampage, and doing AoE damage while Solas keeps enemy groups together with Pull of the Abyss. And my 35% damage group buff that I keep up most of the time.

[MrBrown]

So how do you stay alive?

I think it's between that or dual-daggers. DPS is good but damage per ability use isn't and survival is hard in melee. Admittedly I haven't done much with either though.

 

How are Archers besides Varric?

Good. Sera especially with Tempest-stuff. Varric's specialization is kinda underwhelming, IMO.

At low levels it was tactical taunting. Doing it right before the tank to build up guard or right before an enemy died. then I upgraded the black and slash whatever to generate guard.

 

When I got Reaver, I respecced for devour and dodge and that carried me along until I could masterwork equipment to also generate guard.

 

Things get rough when the tank loses control or when there are archers/wraiths, but it's smooth sailing the rest of the time. And usually I kill things before they're a threat by using Rampage-Dragon rage or even just a regen potion for my Dragon Rage.

If she doesn't know that 'Nationalist Socialist' means Nazi as most people understand the term then surely that would be worth pointing out. 

 

Not really a mistake you want to continue to make. 

[CoM_Solaufein]

Opps lost Sera for good. Got into it with her and chose the Get Out dialog option. Thought that might have meant get out of the room not the Inquisition.

Horrible at low levels. Beast at high.

I'd have actually considered this given some of what I've read in non-media commentary, but since I am not interested in installing "origin" I guess I'll have write it off.

[Azure79]

Well, I finished it a few days ago doing almost everything I could. I only have a few fetch quests and "go find this spot in the map" type quests in my journal, which I won''t bother doing. In total I spent about 120 hours completing the game. I played on PC using M&KB, normal with FF on. 

 

Out of 100, I'd give it a 85. I give Origins a 91 and DA2 an 80. Overall, I really enjoyed the game, but was disappointed with the overall story and finale.

 

Things I liked:

 

-Huge outdoor areas to explore with beautiful environments.

-Enough interesting places to explore that made large areas worth running around in.

-Companions were interesting and not as annoying as I thought they would be. Generally well written, well acted and likable.

-Dragon battles were suitably challenging and fun.

-Crafting system was overall well done: lots of crafting materials, options and plans to keep things interesting. 

-Interesting lore reveals that set up the next game

-Important choices at the end of every story mission

-Combat offers a nice variety of skills and tactics

-The DA keep did a good job of importing past choices

 

Things I disliked

-The main plot is pretty short and uninspired. The plot details I found exciting seemed to set up an expansion or sequel.

-Menus are clumsy and too layered.

-Limiting only 8 active abilities was a poor choice, regardless of platform. Why can't I use all abilities my character has learned when I want?

-Switch between normal mode and tactical cam mode is not as seamless as it should be. The tactical camera is limited and clumsy to control, especially in indoor areas.

-Ending seemed rushed and felt uninspired and the big bad never felt threatening in anyway. 

-Combat is still asymmetrical with enemy HP bloat, though it didn't feel as bad as DA2.

-There are few interesting combat encounters. Mostly, it was just running into enemies in the wilderness. I don't remember any encounters where enemies had advantageous positioning with traps at key points.

3 more dragons to kill to get the dragon hunter achievement (kill ten high dragons).  I've finished off two of the three from Emprise du Lion, but the toughest one is still to go.  There's also the Storm Coast one, and the one in the Hissing Wastes.

[Tale]

Keep in mind that one of the dragons is bugged and doesn't count. But the counter seems to persist across saves and playthroughs.

 

Or maybe it's just the achiement/trophy.

That sucks.  Which dragon is the bugged one?  I can save fighting it until after it's patched/fixed.

it's interesting that a word for warrioress, "Srikandi", would be associated with an Indian fable of transexualism including a warrior  refusing to fight a woman.

 

Malays are not Indian, and in India transsexuals are called "hijra" as far as i know.

 

Malay languange is 70% Sanskrit if you want to know, we don't talk Sanskrit but our language derived from it and mix with Arab, Chinese, Europeans and who know what else who visit us in the past, and so become Bahasa Melayu. SEA especially Melaka was a port cities and emporiums, that's why western people come here want to monopolize it

 

Edit : to add : Malays are Aryan, Hitler was wrong, German is not Aryan at all, it's Malay

 

 

India is where Sanskrit originates, India is the birth place of many languages, the etymology of the word Srikandi is that it's derived from an Indian fable about a transsexual warrior in very much the same way the word Amazon originates from Greek fables about warrioresses in English, and England is not in Greece. I am aware of Malaysia's location and cultural heritage.

Kind of holding out hope that there's going to be an expansion that does for Inquisition what Awakening did for Origins (notice that I didn't say "DLC") that stars the HoF and his/her travails that were hinted at in the game (and if not the HoF due to sacrificing him/herself, the surviving Warden from Origins, and if he was offed, then maybe the Warden Commander from Awakening). Would be a huge pain for scripting everything properly and getting all the lines recorded, but all the voice work done for Inquisition was already way more than what almost everyone anticipated even from Bioware.

My Inquisitor is a much better diplomat this time around.  That's two "boss fights" I've avoided by talking my way through it.

[CoM_Solaufein]

I won the game. I found the dragons to be more difficult than the end game bosses. Not complaining. Nothing can get in the way of my god like characters in games.

 

End game after the credits, what was that about? Caught me off guard so I didn't catch it all.
