I did, it's hilarious. The scheme of selling something unknown for a high price is so silly it might actually work in real life given the right circumstances...

The combat is generally so simple that AI is not needed, chug regeneration potions(they are OP when upgraded), muller everything.
In todays world, I believe they call it Microsoft Windows

Now you've spoiled it, It could've been anything!
although you've made up for it with your description of MS Windows!

I'd still say it is worth it, especially for Dwarf Inquisitors. I found I had more money than I knew what to do with to be honest; the only thing I ever bought from shops was power and influence.
Tactics are barely functional, and when they do work they are so simple you might as well not have bothered!... Who thought that the disabling abilities thing was an improvement over previous games ffs?! If I didn't want a character to use an ability, I wouldn't have unlocked it. I just want them to use it properly.
Origins- as soon as you get Lelliana, set her up as an archer who will attack from range, but when enemies get close, use pinning shot and stealth, or switch to dual-wielding. It took seconds to set up and worked so well

So this thing has hooked me liked CRPG crack since Monday. About 20 hours in, level 10 and finding it really rather great.
I've had one or two bugs, but nothing major. A couple of times my character didn't zone into conversations properly and so I couldn't hand in quests. Went away with a restart, but annoying to lose some progress. The odd graphical glitch and some odd texture pop in as well, but again nothing major.
I'm pretty sure at least two of my skills don't do squat (the ones from the mage lightning tree that are supposed to zap enemies at periodic intervals and to reduce your cooldowns), and I'm not a fan at all of the camera in combat. Clunky and annoying to control and not enough distance you can zoom out to.
Performance-wise it's decent enough. With g-sync I'm finding the outdoor areas fine with 2xMSAA and everything on ultra. Towns are pretty juddery at those settings, though. I keep meaning to experiment with the settings to find what I can turn down to gain performance without losing too much eye candy (as it does look really nice).
I'm pretty sure my gear sucks and I feel like I've not got as good a grip on tactics and party management as I'd like. Making lots of noob mistakes I should know better than.

Killed Hinterlands Dragon @ Lvl 11 this time onto the Forbidden Oasis, Orlais and then take down Alexius Tonight this time making sure to save all the Inquisition at Haven!
Did you talk to all of the NPCs during your first visit to Haven? It affects if they show up during the Haven conflict later and if you don't, they are unsavable.
If not then you might need to start again.

I've spoken to all of them after I first woke up and then afterward.
I've mad a save before heading anywhere too so I won't necessarily have to start from scratch!
Also Dragon battle was even more dicey this time had no potions left, all bar my inquisitor Thief were out for the count was down to my last little bit of health and thinking **** just as the god damn fiend finally decided to keel over I want from

Honestly, it ain't worth saving them. I did the same thing on my 2nd playthrough and was so disappointed that they put so little thought in to it. I thought if you saved them they might not be replaced when you get to Skyhold, but they all are anyway and they just stand around doing nothing.
Hmmm contemplating being a female mage, for a bit of wuuhuu action
Are mage characters any good?
Well, I am not really the right person to comment, as I generally don't play mage in most games, but you do at least need one mage in your party at most times imo. You get 3 companions that are mages too.
Personally, I found the spells pretty underwhelming, and the animations far too repetitive. It is probably my least favourite class tbh. I much prefer the mobility/stealth of a dual-wielding rogue or the guard of the warrior.

About 37 hours in now, still enjoying it and still hooked.
Finding some things a bit grating though. The camera in battles is still a pig to control and get a good scan of the battlefield. The companion AI is awful and the options for tailoring their behavior woefully limited. I feel like Graham Taylor at times: "Solas? What the **** was he doing in the middle of the melee?"
I'm also a bit peeved now I'm level 12 (with three bonus skills) that I can't add anymore skills to my hotbar without removing some that are already there. Only eight active skills. The mage feels a bit limited compared to how much there was for them to do in previous games. Balancing that, though, I suppose, is the other classes becoming a bit more interesting. I like the specialisations too.
Not quite certain of best party yet. I've been running me as knight-enchanter, Solas as spirit-heavy rift mage, Cassandra as sword and shield main tank, and Sera as ranged dps. This can work brilliantly at times, but in longer fights with multiple enemies I find I do lose control of the battlefield at times. Maybe this will improve as my companions and I get deeper into our specialisation trees.
As many people have said too - the game is so big. It's enormous!

Playing this. Its fine but I am not loving it, it really hasn't managed to grip me at all yet.
Hopefully it'll improve.
Battle remains clunky.
Could swear it was much much easier to control in DA:O but it has been so long since I played it, that it is hard to be sure.

I recommend using a pad. I didn't want to but it really is so much better
Also, I have really enjoyed mage. You can still get stuck into a fight if you go knight enchanter and get the spirit blade

I'll second the game pad recommendation, game seems to be designed for it.
Enjoyed my time with the game, but preferred Origins for story and game play imo
Origins felt more of a focused experience to me
