Dragon Age Inquisition

Wait what, how have you gotten such amazing gear from crafting if you don't really pay attention to the modifying and upgrading? I feel like I'm missing something obvious with the crafting system..
 
Ok, just looked in-game. You are talking about modifying armours/weapons right?...Forget everything I just posted as that is for crafting from scratch! Green means you are increasing a stat, red means you are making it worse, Orange means you are adding a stat, grey means no change.

I think The orange square before means you are adding a stat, a green arrow means you are increasing one. For example, if an item had +5 constitution and you add an enhancement that gives you another +5, it will be a green arrow with +10. If your enhancement has +5 strength instead, it will be an orange square with +5 strength. Grey is stuff that is not changing.

I didn't pay much attention to it because you don't really need to tbh...this gives you +10 strength...strength is good!

Making items from scratch seemed confusing too. Can you make blues and purples? I made a few but they were always yellow or something. They also seemed pretty bad considering to the loot I was finding.
 
All you really need to know about crafting is using the schematics with a blue triangle top and bottom on the icon (not sure if you can get purple schematics) and using tier 3 or 4 (dragon only) materials. That's the best way to do it I've found. The masterwork tile is what gives you the opportunity to recreate the unique property found on purple gear such as 2 seconds of walking fortress, etc. and you need fade-touched materials for that.

All crafted items are yellow once crafted. Honestly, every member of my party is using crafted weapons and armour. I sell all of the legendary stuff except stuff that looks really cool.
 
Too many to mention. As I say, they are not serious in gameplay terms most if the time, and most people won't notice them. For example though, I had to learn from a forum that there was supposed to be background music in the game!.. 40 hours in to my second playthrough and I have had 2 or 3 pieces of party banter in total. a few invisible vendors in Skyhold, sometimes it doesn't load. One game breaking one- Sera personal quest doen't complete and I got stuck in the area and had to reload a save an hour earlier. A lot of combo moves do not work as intended either.

I didnt notice most of them on my first playthrough, but the gamereally is a mess!

One thing for certain is that the longer you play the game, the more unstable Skyhold becomes.

I wonder if the magical barriers are a bug. Despite the game saying you need an elemental opposite to damage the barrier, I can destroy them with any staff regardless of damage type.
 
Piggy I agree with you man, there's a lot of bugs and the further you get in the game the more bugs that appear.

I'm getting a lot of graphical glitches now and also npc's that disappear from where they're supposed to be, also the bulging eye balls bug in cut scenes is quite hilarious as it looks like they're a bunch of T1000's that have just been shot in the eye.

Still none of it's game breaking and I'm still absolutely loving the game although I need to find tier 3 schematics as I have a lot of decent materials now.

Anyone know of a decent vendor to get these schematics?
 
Level 14-15 and I cant kill the hinterland dragon. Is he stronger than other dragons, should I be a higher level. I killed a giant without having to use a potion, so I cant be that weak.

I did it at level 10 with a party of 4 mages with ice staffs. Plenty of barriers and cold damage. I got a rad grand enchanter staff out of him, but it's level 18 so I can't use it yet :(

Capturing the Keep in Emprise du Lion gets some great material and access to some really good schematics... Expensive though!

It really is a kind of 'level up' area tbh. Go there when you want to upgrade to better tier equipment!

The crafting really is quite excellent when you get in to it... Shame they isn't a bit more variety in armour though.

I had to side with the Keep's demon as I was out of potions and wouldn't have been able to survive another encounter, the giant in the courtyard below with the templers really took it out of me. On the plus side I asked for Virgins :D
 
Currently I'm 26 hours in and level 11.

I've been hammering all the side quests and not done much in the way of the main storyline so I've only just picked up Blackwall, Iron Bull and Vivienne.

I've seen some people comment that Blackwall is an awesome tank and that Blackwall is better suited to being 2H warrior. What I can't work out is how they have come to that conclusion? When you recruit them you have all the available skills points to spend on whatever skills you want. It's not like DA:O where some of the skill paths were already set so you were guided towards continuing those through thoses skill trees.

Is it to do with their character stats or their available specializations (I haven't unlocked these yet)?
 
Only about 4 hours in but so far this is a breath of fresh air after Far Cry 4 turned into a godawful mess.

SLI not brilliant but runs beautifully on one card anyway so more than happy, and no bugs so far, and perhaps more importantly no stuttering.

Just starting to grasp the sheer size of this game. Picked up a lot of side quests in the Hinterlands already and am thoroughly enjoying every aspect of this.

Early days but all signs are that this could be up there with Alien Isolation as a game of the year contender.

That's my experience and I'm 40hrs in! The story missions are awesome. Only just started them after cleaning out hinterlands and storm coast.
 
After nearly 2 playthroughs I am going to give the game 8/10. Great in places, but overall far too shallow and just full of missed opportunities and half-baked features. Feels too much of a chore at times, but can be really fun as well. The main story is underwhelming, and the villain a joke, but the characters are good.
