Dragon Age Inquisition

I was planning to go knight enchanter and I'm glad to hear it'll be fun. Since so far at level 4/5 I'm not really feeling the Mage.

Yeah the only problem is it needs a lot of support abilities from pretty much all the trees so getting the points is difficult. You can have it running pretty efficiently even from level 10 tho with just the basic points. Mana has been a problem for me though, I'm still looking into how to fix that.

So much fun though, pretty much constant invulnerability every couple of seconds and your shield can be up most of the time too since Clean Burn reduces cds every time you spam Spirit Blade (although waiting for mana to cast it is a pain).

  • If you're unsure on what class to play, try it up until the first boss. It'll give you a good idea whether or not you want to keep it.
  • Explore! There's great content you'd otherwise miss if you just stick to the path.
  • The first area you end up in is MASSIVE and not everything there can be done at the level you'll reach without leaving. So if you have the OCD of must complete before leaving, you'll need to subdue it and move on! Areas stay unlocked and can be returned to later.
  • An amulet can be bought from a shop outside the starting town (next to the stable) for 1g which allows you to respec. Subsequent amulets are 300g+

  • A lot of people stay far too long in the hinterlands at first (the first big area) and complain that it gets boring or monotonous. Best hint I can give: leave the hinterlands and do the main quest for a bit and come back or go explore another area.
  • Try both Keyboard and Mouse and using a controller. I moved to controller after a few hours and never looked back, despite my complete hatred of controllers for games like this. It really is perfectly made for a controller.
  • Get at least Barrier in the Spirit tree on every mage, and you probably want one who heavily favors the tree in general - especially at higher difficulty levels. Barrier is probably the most important ability in the game.
  • You can set which abilities your party can and can't use in their tactics menu. If you want them to prioritize Barrier you can set that and if you don't want them to use say, Blizzard, you can set it so they won't use it at all and you have to manually do it. Good for tactical usage of abilities and even for prioritizing automated abilities (which is what I do since I'm lazy)

Cheers should get some time at it tomorrow which should see me unlock the knight enchanter. At the moment I'm spamming chain Lightning and a fire aoe spell the name of which I've forgotten along with some basic attacks so looking forward to changing that. Think I'll do a bit more of the main quest as well just to get some new party members more than anything.
 
Guys a quick note for any members here with CE boxed version for PC from Gamestop.co.uk

Mine did not have any deluxe digital content codes,so if you only have the standard registration code from the game DVD and English voice over pack code(easy to check in Origin game details)then contact EA chat support,they added all the deluxe content to my Origin account within ten minutes and gave me 15% discount voucher ,so very good customer service.
 
Does origin do automatic updates, to be honest I can't remember the last game I played using it.

Just wondering as the game was working pretty much fine yesterday and seemed dodgy as hell today. It crashed twice loading the game, no previous crashes. It then keeps losing the ability to click on things. In tactical view it wouldn't let me control other players so couldn't move Varric who was standing behind a tree and shooting the freaking tree over and over. Then got a new character and it wouldn't actually click on any of the cards for party members then had to reload the game.

Outside of a couple minor quest bugs like some not updating and some stages of quests taking AGES to update properly I've had no other issues. Today the game has been stupid as hell.

I keep seeing people mentioning a patch so wondered if it was possibly that.

Origin does do automatic updates but there is no patch as of yet. People are just anticipating one as Bioware have taken note of the bugs and said they're working on it.
 
Really enjoyed my first few hours on this. As mentioned already, once you have the required power you should leave Hinterlands straight away there are hints all over the place that you should definitely be leaving there and coming back later too. It should be part of the prologue before the title screen even! I can't be arsed to start again yet but I'm not entirely happy with my character which is a little annoying, the lighting in the character creation screen doesn't resemble anything like in the game so my guys hair looks a ridiculous colour.

Quick question is there a way to get my crew on horses further on in the story or will they disappear every time I mount up for the whole game?

Just about to restart myself, i think the horse thing was done for optimisation or maybe they couldn't get the pathing right for 4 people on horses at the same time.
 
Even though I never completed Origins and hated #2, I've just bought and installed Inquisition. Hope I don't regret it.

Couldn't stay away any longer:o:D



Hope everyone is enjoying DA:I!! only glimpsed at a few posts in case of spoilers so I'm going to assume yes;):p

Wow! Where to start aside from the usual launch issues (Drivers, kb+m issues etc) I'm really impressed and excited, I've spent way too long just admiring the setting travelling around Haven, venturing up mountains because I can:cool::p (the novelty of foot prints in the snow hasn't warn off yet:o:cool:)
I seem to have amassed a huge quantity of Iron ore not sure if a good thing or bad:o

Sorry if all ready poster but if cut scenes are choppy because of the 30fps cap this can help fix it:cool:


Nvidia users:cool: I've found setting Texture filtering - negative LOD bias to 'Clamp' has helped to reduce flickering on textures but this could be a coincidence:)

Apparently Bioware and Nvidia are working on it:cool:



Someone posted this image on Imgur of a possible 'Cheesy' easter egg, not sure if true though:p
As all Dragon Age fans know Thedas is a land of cheese wheels...but Cheese Shields:eek::p

Also I know I'll be branded a traitor but a controller works very well with the UI etc so until KB+M are patched I'm going to roll with it:o:D

Traitor! :p


I've been playing on the controller too. Game feels designed for it!

Trying to resist restarting my character 20 hours in:rolleyes:

:D

I'd say see it through as each character will have a different experience and different quests so use the first play through as a way to see how you'd like to play next time:cool::)

Think I'll do that.

Besides, I can hide his face with a helmet:D I'd welcome a way to adjust the characters look in game though. Beards look horrible
