What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

N ono tthat I know of.

you can always skip cut-scenes, I'm not fond of the Mother either and I just tend to skip her cut-scenes whenever they appear

Nice mine is scurrently stuck a tthe Fad esection atm. I do plan to g oback to them bu tbusy trying to unlock the podium pass items on F1 2021 atm. Hopefully will get around to downloading Kena toady as well. Plan to saveplaying it though until I'm finished my latest DAI run.

Making my way through Inquisition for the first time and, surprisingly finding myself enjoying it a great deal, just don't ever ever ever do Requisition missions.

I find a lot of the characters irritatingly twee with each passing hour though, (despite this Inky ended up romancing Sera somehow) I really do not like the new camera perspective for most conversations or certainly the dialogue system of ticking boxes at times, got a serious case of bloat as I'm 100+ hours in with only just now having finished the Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts quest line but I have not tackled anything else yet in terms of the main quest.

It's a pity because I feel it might be much stronger had certain areas got condensed or merged, for example I really enjoyed the Emerald Graves, but the Exalted Planes? Just the aforementioned but insufferably dull.

It's also bizarre right after recently playing the previous entries how I rarely feel as though I'm making choices in any of the secondary or tertiary quests this, makes it feel more like an action adventure, outside the primary quests and I do not see myself replaying this ever possibly for that reason mainly.

You simply don't get many opportunities to define who your Inquisitor might be outside of the major decisions, I don't begrudge Bioware trying something a bit different here but I hope the following game manages to strike a balance between this and Origins' razor sharp focus, oh and I will appreciate more authentic armors back also thank you.

I know that's a lot of complaining so far but, I genuinely am enjoying the gameplay loop for the most part though, I think it mostly strikes the right balance between the two prior entries and with refinement could be truly great in addition the variety's a massive step up (the dragons, the wildlife, the environments) from prior Dragon Ages in everything you can think of apart from diversity of playstyles themselves that feel quite limited compared to Origins but that's something true of both II and III.

Oh and I want to throw Vivienne off that balcony, just a bit anyway, but that's just on the money for things this lacks compared to Dragon Age in terms of roleplaying I don't really have the option to give them a stern talking to about the constant insults even after helping them considerably.

I actually really like the crafting, that I can say for not many of this genre, it could do with a slight bit of simplification but for the most part I really enjoy it, blowing an entire afternoon farming the Demon's Advocate to make excellent armor for everyone's a hoot.

I don't feel awful about that because I'm playing this on Nightmare for the Achievements and it is still plenty tough in places here and there.

I have done everything available in Ferelden but the DLCs that I'm saving for before the main quests, now I'm tackling what I assume to be three bloody deserts and the Emprise Du Lion, I will let you all know if anything noteworthy springs to mind at a later date- I'm not very good at conciously chronicling adventures.

Wrapped up Act 1 of DAII yesterday. Somehow I managed to get both the Secret Rendezvous (only appears if the Warden-Commander saved Amaranthine City in Awakening, which she did) and The Conspirators (only appears if the Warden-Commander destroyed Amaranthine City) active at the same time. Completed both quests, carried on as normal. Didn't mess up my gameplay or anything. Weird.

It's as though you didn't even read what I wrote.

I know it's the small stuff that defines a character, not really the big, that's why I expressed my dissatisfaction with the absence of autonomy in a lot of secondary and tertiary content where you only get the option to either accept or refuse in essence.

Even that instance of a choice in the Fairbanks quest's a binary one where I don't really get an understanding of the situation even after scrounging for information, it's not well written enough to define anything about my Inquisitor's personality, that I see turning out differently in another potential playthrough.

In terms of that quest specifically, I had a look at both immediate outcomes and initially kept his secret hidden, but then I thought about what actually might become of the peasants as indicated by the quest giver back at the beginning, that's not worth his pride and refusal to take on any responsibility and access to greater resources so I ultimately turned over the truth.

The only odd thing that those two quests were available at the same time. They both take place in Act 1 regardless.
--
Heard of the bug when only Rendez-vous quest is always available even with other choices thus there are mutually exclusive quests you have. According to ThatDamnableRogue PT it seems there are other bug-options.

The quests you are talking about have different names: Fool's Gold (Act 2) or Finding Nathaniel (Act 3).

There is always "maybe" if mess around with games in this way (that's why I stopped doing it - often crashes and reinstallations even if none of such things should have happened).
Have never used this Editor myself, but noticed reported bugs involve Nathaniel, as well as the whole DAA - part.






What do you mean by that? What was incorrect? I mean aside from, for example, Zevran bug dilalogue for which I use fix-mod.

Pretty basic day in Inquisition for me. Since I am doing the trials I need to farm up some power without gaining experience. So I have spent time today save scumming requisitions in The Hinterlands to try and get the 19 power I need to do the steps to get to Skyhold. Probably going to be what I am doing again tomorrow as well since its tedious and boring so I don't do it for long periods of time.

Today I finished Trial of the Fool. Haven was a pain and I had total party kills a couple of times doing it at level 4. Of course after getting to Skyhold the first time I didn't get the achievement. So I fast traveled to The Hinterlands and did a simple quest and traveled back and nothing. So I reloaded a prior save and redid part of Haven again and it popped after I left Skyhold and traveled back. Thankfully my prior save was after the harder parts of Haven, I just had to trigger the final catapult.
