Dragon Age Inquisition Megathread: Bioware's Last Chance Edition - Games

Anyone else often crashing when exiting the game?

[QUOTE=Xion21;46540951]Sword hilts tend to actually be far longer than presented in most fantasy settings. Enough room for two big hands with spare space in between for movement, takes a lot to heft a big sharp metal stick. Also your name fits.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but the ones in this game are more like four-hands-and-a-half rather than the traditional length. It looks a little ridiculous to me. :v: So nobody answered before - is there no weapon swapping? I'm stuck using my bow the whole time unless I want to inventory swap mid-combat?

Is coop any good

Holy shit reavers are OP. As long as I keep my health low I can pop into a group of enemies and fuck them up before my initial stun wears off. I do a thousand damage per hit, and my sword has AOE on top of that.

I just met Blackwall, holy shit he's like straight outta game of thrones. Cassandra get fucked he's Browall now.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;46539302]I've still only been playing the multiplayer. Necromancer is OP, sort of. There's a skill I call The Gift That Keeps On Giving. You cast it on a baddie, it does DoT damage and then explodes (Or you can toggle the explosion when you want) When it explodes (Either by you, expiration, or it dying), it does damage to itself and near by enemies, and it applies it to those near by enemies. When those enemies die, they explode, spreading and damaging again. The explosion also knocks enemies down. Now imagine just a chain reaction that kills an entire group Then, For every enemy that dies, I heal 4% of my health and make a quarter of my Mana back. A 10 kill streak sounded like so: BoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoom with red gibs flying all over the fucking place[/QUOTE] ...there's multiplayer?

[QUOTE=Remedial Math;46541732]...there's multiplayer?[/QUOTE] It's like ME3's if you played it. It's a dungeon crawler/last stand sorta thing.

Can someone do me a favor and check out this point in Storm Coast? [url]http://puu.sh/cZMWg/420ed57b81.jpg[/url] Theres a door here and Im thinking my games glitched or something.

Nope, it's shut for me too, i imagine it's something later on.

Just tried multiplayer and it was a lagfest. Guess I'll stick to single. Also kinda shitty that mp is just stock characters.

-Snip, thought I was in a different game thread-

[QUOTE=kenji;46541922]Nope, it's shut for me too, i imagine it's something later on.[/QUOTE] It has to open somehow, I'm very close to the end of the game. [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] Found out how to open the door.

Once you get thrust into the open world and do the war room stuff for the first time it really hooks you. I like that I actually want to fully explore/stabilize the hinterlands region to "gain control" over it so to speak, and then using that to do missions or unlock the next mission areas. It feels like a much more natural way to deal with an open world situation than GTA style or Skyrim style. I like the feeling that I'm an explorer claiming "new" lands, and that there is an actual reason to return home or deal with political business. They really handled that pretty well IMO I'm glad we are finally starting to get "open world" games that actually feel like they take advantage of what being in an open world means

I keep finding dragons. Why do I keep finding dragons.

[QUOTE=usaokay;46542303]Because this game series is fucking called Dragon Age.[/QUOTE] I practically never saw any dragons in dragon age 2 :v:

[QUOTE=Naught;46542335]I practically never saw any dragons in dragon age 2 :v:[/QUOTE] Did you miss Flemeth right at the very start of the game that saves you and your family? Or the side quests where you hunt dragons?

[QUOTE=kenji;46541739]It's like ME3's if you played it. It's a dungeon crawler/last stand sorta thing.[/QUOTE] It's closer to Diablo 3's Rifts. They're randomized in the same way, 3 different maps constructed of a bunch of different tilesets (Which Bioware did a FAR better job of doing). And instead of 10 waves of defending, you go through 5 randomized zones eliminating the enemies that are in it, which are also randomized (Don't know what type you get, or when elites show up, or what elites). Every couple of zones will also have an additional objective, like defend an Inquisition Captain as you make your way through it, or Recover the scrolls, or weapons cache, and failing these objectives means you lose out on some gold as a reward, it doesn't end the run. Then the last zone you plant a banner and hold off a huge onslaught of bullshit, including elites, and a nasty boss. Wear condoms. All the while you loot gold, enter treasure rooms that specific classes can open (Barriers needing a Mage/Rogue/Warrior to open). At the end of the round you get your XP, everyone's XP is added into everyone's progress. Then, just like spending your shards on Kadala hoping for something good, you spend your gold on chests hoping for something good (This is the only real similarity of Mass Effect 3) But in treasure rooms, its possible the chest drops items, too. Including purples and characters you haven't unlocked yet. If you already unlocked it and loot it, it unlocks an appearance option. And unlike ME3 where it was all twitch and more skill based with just slightly more damaging weapons of the same type, this requires that AND actual gear that differs, and that you can customize a bit, by crafting upgrades out of materials you salvaged from shit gear There's also crafting upgrades, runes, belts, necklaces, rings, so on and so forth. It's pretty fun and could easily stand as its own $20-$30 game. And it's not easy. Not to mention that it's going to get more maps and characters as free DLC in the future The only problem with it is if your ping is a bit high to who you're connected to, character movement is noticeably laggy for it, even though everything else is fine. I'm sure the first patch out the gate will fix it, it's like Battlefield 4 with 0% network smoothing [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=ShabbaCosby;46540220]Why?[/QUOTE] See Above

God fucking dammit Vivienne, slightly disapproving of everything I do.

[QUOTE=kenji;46537886]Hold the button down.[/QUOTE] So basically it's useless to me, since I play almost exclusively in tactical mode. [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] I love failing a thing over and over because the AI is ass. Tell a character to help up a downed teammate or interact with something like a rift, and they will go to the spot, then turn around and start flailing on the enemies. Unless you babysit them.

I hope The Architect from awakening shows up in some way in Inquisition, I let him live and it IS an option in the dragon age keep site...

This game better end with the Inquisitor about to get killed just to get saved in the last second by Sandal yelling "ENCHANTMENT!"

Okay, my game just finished installing, let's see if Bioware fucked up or not.

So, who is the best option for a male inquisitor, Cassandra or the other gal? (You know, I'm advacing my knowledge in the meantime)

[QUOTE=usaokay;46543669]Oh man, the [sp]song that was sung after Haven was destroyed[/sp] fits my Inquisitor's lingering doubt option.

It's very fun so far, but I'm extremely disappointed over how awkward it is to control. The tactical camera is especially poor, especially coming from DAO. It truly feels designed for a controller.
