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

Has anyone else noticed that taking fall damage means you get struck by a mysterious arrow? Not sure why the hell Bioware did it that way ??? [editline]dsaf[/editline] [QUOTE=DAI Codex]So, lad—you're getting your sight straight in your first days topside, so here's some advice: you're not just trading with kin. You're selling to all kinds of folk now, with different customs and tongues. As I've learned here, the most important part of any language is the cussing. It gets you trust. It gets you coin. Most elves you see in the city are servants, and a human looking for a fight might call one "knife-ear." If the elf returns with "shem" or "quick," blood's about to spill. Those Dalish elves use "flat-ear" to insult the ones who live with humans—like our unenlightened kin below calling us Stone-blind up here. Even the humans who pray to some woman they burned alive—and her god they call "the Maker"—say something when they knock their shins. It's a curse to say "Andraste's..."—well, any body part, really. "Maker's breath!" might get you in with a swaggering fool, but the lady priests won't be pleased. Chantry folk also don't like mages. If you hear a mage called a "spellbind," hide anything flammable. Then there are all those beautiful words that just mean "Sod it!" When that loose cobblestone flips and the ankle cracks, an elf will cry, "Fenedhis!" while a human might, "Damn it!" A Qunari will mumble, "Vashedan!" I've even heard a couple Tevinters yell, "Kaffar!" If any of these get aimed at you, hopefully all that gets killed is a sale. —Note from Hardal, a surface merchant dwarf, to an apprentice adjusting to life outside Orzammar[/QUOTE] fun!

So as a bit of fun I uploaded the fight against the Abyssal High Dragon, which I heard people have no patience in trying to get to. Beat it on my first attempt. [video=youtube;KL90DUoN9Mg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL90DUoN9Mg[/video]

So far Descent is shaping up to be "that DLC where you get your ass served to you by Darkspawn" I probably should've been a higher level before I started :v:

I still can't decide if Sera is a closer to the ground, very humane companion who provides a good foil to characters like Cassandra or Solas or a brat suffering a severe case of Tourettes syndrome who can't help but loathe other people's beliefs on flimsy excuses and is incapable of see the bigger picture in everything

Sera is like that one member of a marginalised group that sides with the people who hate them in an attempt to look edgy. She has a good start with her whole power to the people shtick, and some pretty funny moments when paired with other party members but the whole "haha fuck the elves, isn't it funny that all of your friends died solas? haha!" thing she does, coupled with how she is constantly coming out with dumb confrontational bullshit just made me want to set her on fire.

Just picked this up in the sale as I'm playing through the series at the moment, have it downloading now. Just wondering, can I import my previous saves in-game like how it was in Awakening + DA2, or is everything done through Keep?

[editline]2nd February 2016[/editline] I hope the next game has proper mod support. I guess I know it won't, because EA, but whatever. Even still, I'm on my third playthrough and I've been having fun messing with mods and cheats we have. It may not make much sense from a lore persepctive, but I love the Saarebas gear.

Not expecting much of an answer, but w/e.

[QUOTE=fulgrim;49617086]Yeah, the only inquisitor I can see fighting ever again after trespasser is a mage, and not well enough to be viable as a protagonist. The hero of ferelden would be a cool choice but then you have to remember it's entirely possible for Him/her to die at the end of DAO. Im hoping they just go for a fresh new character preferably with a bunch of backgrounds to pick from. Maybe have stuff like inquisition solider, mage/templar, grey warden origin stories for the player character, that would be neat[/QUOTE] I still to this day find it hilarious that they immediately dropped the entire "Origins" thing after, well, Origins. Was pretty cool to at least get a little choice in your character's backstory before the main plot, and have it actually affect a few things later on. Too bad Mages got a grand total of 1 option, though.

I like how Dragon age inquisition still gives you a separate origin for each race, it's not as good as the origins in origins; but the fact they give you a few chances to remark on your inquisitor's feelings on their back-story makes it feel less forced than games like DA2 and fallout 4. For example, The dwarf inquisitor is ex-carta, but that doesn't mean you have to be a hardened thug, unless you want to. You can say you were forced into a life of crime, or that you actually miss smashing heads and smuggling lyrium. As a Dalish elf you can say you loved your life as a free elf, or remark on how poorly your clan lived and how hard it was to survive. Having the same back-story for every character every time gets incredibly tiresome and im glad they at least tried to diminish that somewhat, but bringing back multiple origins would be the best course of action IMO.

Just got Inquisition for £6.99 on CDkeys, now to play

[QUOTE=fulgrim;49658523]Sera is like that one member of a marginalised group that sides with the people who hate them in an attempt to look edgy.

Instead she just wants to fuck over the rich as a whole with not goal or means to actually help the poor. She turns into a whiny bitch if you don't let her murder a guy just because she says he's evil for being rich. She's the only character I was legitimately debating kicking out of the Inquisition.

tbf that noble did have his servants tortured to death to send a message to "red jenny", but only because sera put them up to it in the first place. Her stuff about the power of "little people" is pretty cool: the idea you could defeat an army by winning over the cooks that feed it, or assassinate an emperor by having a maid drop a key in the right place, that's all awesome. But the fact sera doesn't actually use this power for anything other than "lolrandom i stole a lords pants haha" shit when "little people" often find themselves in terrible danger in order to facilitate what amounts to a stupid prank that changes nothing.

The real tragedy is that Sera's the only one of your party that get's a catchy-ass tavern song about her. Why not one about Bull? Or anyone else? Or everyone other than Sera?

Sera was such a pain for me. I would banish/kill her and her "organization" on the spot but my completionist side wouldn't let me lose a companion and she's a walking machinegun with her bow and skills.

I did like the fact that she didn't give a crap about the past of the elves. Like she says, why the hell should she care? As someone who devours lore, it goes against every fiber of my being, but I thought it was a good point. Also, it irritated Solas, and what's better than that?

[t]http://i.imgur.com/oEpSPBL.jpg[/t] I like her because I made her myself, or so I like to believe

I'm very glad these bugs were never fixed. [t]http://i.imgur.com/SwKFgSU.jpg[/t]

I wonder if we'll ever see Varric again in subsequent Dragon Age games now that he's [sp]Viscount of Kirkwall (at least in my playthrough, not sure if it changes?)[/sp] I don't mind that they're finally retiring the poor bastard as a companion, but I hope they don't just cut him out entirely from here on. [editline]adf[/editline] ANYWAYS, in an effort to teach myself how to use the Dragon Age Toolset, I took a bunch of reference screenshots of Redcliffe Village in Inquisition, and I'm gonna try and "de-make" it for Origins. Eventually. I'll keep you guys updated if I actually make any progress.

I want to track down whoever thought that tiding your character acquiring a specialization with an open world fetch quest was a good idea Come to think of it, Dragon Age: Inquisition would be one of my favorite western RPGs if, among other things, the open world elements weren't as shoehorned as they are

is the multiplayer for this game dead or does it have a couple of people playing it at times? :v:

[QUOTE=fear me;49631906][video=youtube;AUusiRBqtco]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUusiRBqtco[/video] (still my favorite track in the series)[/QUOTE] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EzU46LHtIg[/media] This will always be the best song in the series, bar none.

Having Morrigan as a major in elven myths and traditions all of a sudden is especially jarring if you are playing as a DAILISH inquisitor (which is my current case)

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49700689]Having Morrigan as a major in elven myths and traditions all of a sudden is especially jarring if you are playing as a DAILISH inquisitor (which is my current case)[/QUOTE] There's a mod that tweaks the scenes with morrigan a bit mostly just removing the stupid dialogue altogether but good enough I think

[sp]So Corypheus is vulnerable after the death of his dragon, and instead of killing him there for good the inquisitor sends him physically to the fade which was what he wanted all along.[/sp] am I misunderstanding what happened or is this really stupid

[/sp]

That actually sounds pretty metal. Like [sp]"What's that, brah? You wanna go into the Fade? Here, get spread all over it like jam!"[/sp]

[QUOTE=fulgrim;49742962][sp] You conjure a small Fade rift inside Corypheus' head, So yeah he gets sent into the fade, but he would be pulled inside out in the process. [/sp][/QUOTE] I guess that makes sense. [sp]That way even if killing the dragon didn't stop him from coming back, there are no bodies in the fade to posses.[/sp] Aside from Corypheus and the Architect are any of the other Magisters mentioned at all?

There are probably more of them around, buried like the rest of the Old Gods, waiting for someone else to unearth them and trigger another calamity like this.
