Dragon Age: Inquisition

[Joe]

My Inquisitor, if anybody wants to know what sexy looks like.

Spoiler: 2-Handed Warrior/Female/Elf

 

[Lex]

Do you have the graphics settings turned down a bit? Her hair doesn't look all that great. Cool character though. Tevinter tattoos, interesting choice.

 

[Fangu]

So is this the official SPOILER thread nao, or?

Not that I care too much... the fuckery with the imports in the Keep not working has wiped out my hard on completely

 

[Lex]

Imports have been working in the Keep for a while now. Or are you talking about downloading Keep data to Inquisition? If so WUT NO SAY IT AIN'T SO. Also the only thing you import to the keep is your character's avatar, you still need to go through and make all the decisions manually anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Also spoiler policy:

Anything in any way game related must be tagged properly. i.e. "Spoilers up to end of Act 1" or "Spoilers: Blackwall" or "Romance Spoilers: Dorian". If in doubt, spoiler tag it.

 

[Fangu]

Nope, they been having issues with Origin imports. Mine isn't working X(

(I expected to be able to import story, stats + avatar, if not, what the hell is the point)

 

[Carlie]

So is this the official SPOILER thread nao, or?

The other thread is to be used for that. Spoiler tagged of course.

Spoiler: My Inquisitor

Spoiler: My sexy Inquisitor

He's a dual wielding rogue and his name is Oberyn but nobody understand him but his woman. Can't get any sexier than that. Cassandra has so far been unable to resist his charms.

I think it's just the angle. The image doesn't do it enough justice.

I wanted proper Dalish tattoos but these looked better .

 

[Lex]

Good LORD the amount of dialogue in this game is INSANE. I noticed people have a lot to say which is awesome, so I decided to time my conversation with Cassandra. From start to finish exhausting all dialogue options - 20 minutes. TWENTY MINUTES.

I'm 4 and a half hours in not including character creation. Haven't left the starting area yet XD. I'm going to have palpatations deciding what order to do all this stuff in.

 

[Carlie]

And then there's the many, many, many hours in the Hinterlands. I'm still not done with them.

 

[Fangu]

I NEED TO VENT SOMEWHERE ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE OF AN ABOMINATION THE DRAGON AGE KEEP IS, LIKE DID THEY SERIOUSLY INDEND FOR THIS GARBAGE TO BE A FINISHED PRODUCT??? I HAVE TO SIT THROUGH THE MOST HORRIBLY DESIGN USER INTERFACE CLICKING GODDAMN IMAGES TO FINISH A SAVE I ALREADY DID, THE BOXES ON THE MAIN QUEST REMAINING BLACK EVEN AFTER I FINISH ALL THE BOXES INSIDE IT WHERE BLACK MEANS DIDN'T MAKE CHOICE AND WHITE MEANS FINISHED???? LIKE I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY HEAD AROUND WHAT A PISS POOR EXPERIENCE THIS IS; THEY PRETTY MUCH SET UP THAT YOU SHOULD BASE INQUISITION ON YOUR PREVIOUS DATA BUT THEN THEY FORCE YOU THROUGH HOURS OF BUGGY, SHITTY USER INTERFACE TO SET UP SAVE FILES YOU ALREADY PLAYED AND I CAN'T REMEMBER HALF OF THE STUFF, LIKE WHO THE HELL IS BELLA???????????????????????

 

[Lex]

lolol fangers <3

I've got to be honest, I haven't really had a problem with the Keep. I feel like it pretty much serves its function - I went in, made the choices, exported to Inquisition and that was it for me :/. I don't think it's good but I've used it for its function and now I probably won't touch it again until there's another Dragon Age game.

A save import feature would definitely have been nice though. Like save import from previous games to the keep. They didn't make that too clear in the beginning that it was never a part of the Keep's function so a lot of people ended up confused or starting Inquisition with a random world state.

Spoiler: Spoilers: Introductory conversations with all characters except Dorian who I don't have yet

Well just going to post some very early thoughts on the companions.

Cassandra: I thought this was going to be another Balthier/ Auron/ Oghren situation, where everyone loves them and I'm just all meh because they say shit that make tits go "omg hes soooooooooooooo cool liek soooooooo cool lol look how edgy and cool" however I was dead wrong because she's just fucking awesome. Genuinely surprised at being on the Cassandra bandwagon with everyone else, hooray <3. I'm also liking where her backstory is going.

Varric: Still meh, he's actually a bit grumpier in his old age. I think I might prefer him in this game to DA2, time will tell.

Solas: I quite like him actually. He's nothing special so far but he's an OK character. My mind isn't doing backflips to go and speak to him all the time.

Iron Bull: Really like him so far. Haven't done much except exhaust all the dialogue options at Haven so far (and yes I flirted with him but it went over his head, I assume this has something to do with how according to him the Qunari don't do sex the way the other species do). It'll be interesting to see where that goes.

Vivienne: I fucking love her. Her dialogue is full of win so far.

Sera: Not a fan. I find her super irritating. May change.

Blackwall: Very meh.

Dorian: i want you where are you

OK so order of how much I like them so far:

Cassandra
Vivienne
Iron Bull
Solas
Varric
Blackwall
Sera

Also I flirted with Cullen and his reaction was top notch awkward. I've decided my warden is a slut so he's just going to flirt with everyone and then I'll decide whether he's going to fall for the Iron Bull or Dorian when I get to know them a bit better .

Current game time: 13 hours. I'm maybe about 1/3 through the Hinterlands quests and I've done everything in Haven. I've unlocked 5 other areas and I've briefly visited them just to have a look.

Also can I just say how much I love

Spoiler: tavern spoilers

the bards singing in the taverns? Amazing.

This world just feels so alive.

 

[Ami]

I'mma let ya'll finish, but someone can't spell immediately on the title of this thread.

Also, trying to decide whether to play this or AC Unity. I've got all day and tomorrow to fully indulge in gaming and it's the first weekend in an entire MONTH I can do it. Decisions, decisions! This is why I wish there were two of me, pretty sure that the universe couldn't handle another me, though.

 

[Carlie]

This is no contest Ami, one of those games sucks balls, the other one is amazing and will take over your life.

Also fuck changing thread titles on the phone is not a good idea.

 

[Ami]

That may be your opinion, but I don't believe in judging a game until you've played it yourself. Either way, the plastic from DAI is coming off.

 

[Fangu]

I accidentally bought the game on Origins, and accidentally started playing it. I am an accidental male Dwarf Archer wandering around a very accidental large forest.

Accidentally.

 

[Carlie]

And I'm accidentally giving you a massive high five.

 

[Fangu]

This game is too fucking addictive. I have to go to a dinner in like an hour but I'll be playing more when I get home. X)

 

[Joe]

I almost bailed on a night out last night, one that I'd arranged.

I need more.

 

[Carlie]

Since the game came out on Tuesday, I've basically played since I woken up till 3am with short breaks here and there. Yesterday at work I accidentally almost asked a customer if they wanted more Dragon Age with their pork.

 

[Lex]

How good is it though guys like seriously.

Game clock 22 hours. Still haven't finished questing in the Hinterlands. Literally did like one more story quest XD. I'm doing more now.

 

[Joe]

First questing area.

Already more to do there than in all of Kirkwall.

 

[Carlie]

I had a massive scare last night. There's a bug that corrupts your save files which happened to me when I was saving the game to head to bed. I tried restarting the game but the game wasn't letting me access any other save file. I was about to go ape shit since that would've meant 64 hours of gameplay down the drain but I found a solution on gamefaqs, go to save data management, delete the corrupted file to be able to access the others. Crisis adverted.
