Dragon Age News Thread

I don't talk alot about gameplay/mechanics because I don't know that much about it all. And, well, I love Story. Although, fun gameplay is what can keep me coming back well after I know the story inside out. Sometimes it's just fun to play, and setting up a variety of potential squad banter combinations. I love all the banters.

FWIW, I do know that when I'm playing Stabby Rogue and get my enemy on the ground, I can't finish them off because my daggers won't connect. And I have to wait until the enemy gets back on their feet before I can finish them off. That makes me sad.

I also know that, at least for me, the combat attack....sounds? and the "feel" of it could use some more..umph. The basic attacks make me feel more like I'm shooting a watergun just waiting for my special powers to kick in. Soo, maybe more umph and less cool downs?

Hmm, I'll have to check out the gameplay/mechanics thread. I may have some things about that on my mind afterall.

I thought that picture was alluding to the fact that the DAI we got was not the DAI promised in the first ever trailer back in 2013. You know, the one narrated by Morrigan. In that we didn't just get an explosion and a hole in the sky; the sky split open across the horizon and I assumed the dragon was one of the things that dropped out of it, so not just any old dragon but possibly an old god of some sort not afflicted with the Blight. It was also suggested that we could either stand against the encroaching darkness or "lead this world to its bitter end". Ominous stuff and to my mind far more in keeping with Solas' expectation of "fiery chaos" when he removes the Veil, seeing as fire balls do actually seem to be raining down from the sky on to that fortress. Considering DG admits we only got half the story in DAI and we know who the main enemy is now, I really want to see the final vision as promised in this trailer.

They tried to create a sense of impending doom in DAI, particularly at the end with Morrigan emoting in a deep voice about how if we didn't stop Corypheus the second time the breach would engulf the world but it really didn't strike me that way. He and the consequences of his action weren't nearly scary or threatening enough and there seemed no possibility that we could possibly lead the world to its demise (except in the rather lame cut scenes that followed failure at one or another of the main plot quests). That was confined to the vision of the dark future that we only get if you took the mage path. So I'm hoping that at some point in the next game we are going to see and experience what we did in the trailer.

I took Solas with me and started to kill hallas thinking that he would say something. Nada. Nix. I also thought that doing Spoils of desecration before going to the dalish clan will get me out of the hook with them. I never felt so ashamed like how i felt when the keeper still told me that he knows about desecration. Buggers.

If you complete the Dalish tasks first, you can then go to the tomb and loot away and it won't affect your standing with them (or even be mentioned).

This, this is the face of evil:

Is that what they look like close-up?? Wow... *_*
