Dragon Age: Inquisition

[Agiel]

I did try it at level 12 on Hard, assuming that was the level I was meant to play it on. It still cleaned my party's clock at that point. That said, I haven't gotten too balls-deep into the crafting, and from what I'm told that's where you go into game-breaker territory.

[Amentep]

If you guys are doing the Ferelden Frostback at 12 or 13, you better tell me you're doing it on Normal.

 

Or I will hate you. I did it level 15 on Hard.

Yeah, I never do first try on Hard unless normal has no complexity. I'm just not that awesome first time around.

[Agiel]

I do it on Hard partially because it was the "Golden Mean" for me for Dragon Age: Origins, partially because Kevin Van Ord, one of the few games writers whose opinions I respect these days, had said in his review that Inquisition required fairly little strategy (and I'm assuming as a reviewer he played it on Normal), and partially because I started playing Inquisition on the tail end of finishing a replay of Icewind Dale 2.

I admit I'm slow to pick up game mechanics and sometimes make blindingly stupid errors.

KE I will accept without hating you. This time.

So after the patch objects found with search now show up in the minimap. Pretty convenient, except books don't seem to.

 

Anyways, does anyone know where to grab a T3 masterwork schematic for mage armor besides that shop in the wastes?

[ShadySands]

Might be random drops/loot or maybe with the right perks at the shop in the Wastes

[GhostofAnakin]

 

Anyways new patch is out.

 

It is?  That's disappointing, then, since the party banter is still nonexistent for me and a dialogue cutscene hung up when I was talking to Cassandra back at Haven.  Two things that were supposed to be addressed in the patch.

I believe the party banter is slated for the next patch.

Two KEs (one purely offensive and one defensive).

 

When you absolutely, positively gotta kill every last mother***** dragon in the room.

Wow ... the outrage on the Bio boards over what this latest patch has done to a lot of PC gamers' games is ... frightening.

 

How does a patch manage to make a game (especially its graphics) worse than before it was patched?  That takes some extra special talent to pull that off.

 

"What's that?  You've got a draft?  No problem, we'll keep the draft there AND give you a leaky roof once we're done!"

[Qistina]

"They clearly never bothered to test the game, no beta testing, and they don't care, the very same mistake they did in the past two games of the same series, that is why Cory can be killed in less than 30 seconds, how come the last battle that is supposed to be climatic end in less than 30 seconds?"

 

Eh. Plenty of end bosses can be killed within 30 seconds if you 'cheese'. Including plenty of BIO games. And, the ones who cna't are usually vheesy with ridiculous amount of HP . See your precious DA1.

 

And, BIO never 'lied'. Don't lie.

 

 

"a game is not just a game you know,"

 

False.

 

A game is just a game. PERIOD.

 

 

"Customers always right you know"

 

I hoep this is sarcasm because this simply isn't true.

 

If you kill Cory fast enough, the game glitched, you don't get cutscenes, and ypu stuck. Clearly THEY DIDN"T TEST THE GAME, they never calculate the mechanic, they sell you broken product (same like DA:O, they never test DA:O)

There's (when I last checked) a 68+ page thread where people are complaining about how everything is now low res after the patch.  Plus, it sounds like the stability of the game has even gotten worse than prior to the patch.

 

Not sure if that's only PC-related.  I didn't notice anything drastic on my PS4, other than like I said about the same party banter/dialogue hang ups still being present for me.

[Bokishi]

Console FTW

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

So I keep disappearing when walking around now and lose a chunk of health every time. I think I'm going to put this aside for a bit and come back to it in a few months.

In my experience, this is the case with just about every game. :D

 

Oh well, is playable for me still.

[GhostofAnakin]

Some of the character models before and after the patch are hilarious in that Bio thread.  The patch turned some female warrior who looked young and vibrant into a 90 year old hag with so many wrinkles she'd make a prune jealous.

I remember the time when patches actually fixed issues and improved stability...

[archangel979]

Total Biscuit ripped DAI a new one yesterday on stream. And it is not the first time. He also said it is not in his top 10 games of the year and surely not GotY.

[CoM_Solaufein]

My second dragon, The Greater Mistral, went down because of my greatness. I not only crafted some weapons for me, but also my party members. I even did a 2000+ hit point strike but the dragon had its defense shields up.

 

Since the patch my character's hair looks greasy slicked back.

[MrBrown]

The hotfix tonight should fix that. Or you can use the workaround posted on the bio boards.

 

(One of the reasons of the patch was that low-end users couldn't turn off the grease. My Thedas has been full of oily hair, vegetation and whatnots since the release.)

[CoM_Solaufein]

Now I know why Feraldon smells like wet dog, greasy hair and unclean peasants.
