[quote=Meiyjhe]Having a qunari mage, people finally started to acknowledge me as the awesome leader that I am. The companions in DAI I truly enjoy btw. Iron Bull is absolutely fantastic. He is determined, respectful, funny and a total badass. Then this Cole person, most adorable thing in the world ammgggggggg, if he wouldn't die so fast he would be in my team 24/7. Main setup with me atm is: - Me (shockmage) - Cassandra - Iron Bull - Solas I think Cassandra makes a good companion too. She is very useful in combat and she is a very strong independant [s]black[/s] woman. I dislike Solas tho, he says he is this fade expert and shit, tho when I have troubles with the fade, he is nowhere to be seen. Also he seems to have a very weak personality, if I just not say "oh wow thats amazing" the approval rating will go down already. Even if I just say that hanging out with demons is risky business >:O. But he is too useful to have in your team. Barriers too strong D: Anyways, I really enjoy this game so far. The hinterlands was really boring tho and I was happy when I finally realised that I could just leave. After that however, everything is absolutely great and I want to keep playing constantly <3[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I honestly hate Iron Bull. But that's mostly because I hate Freddie Prinze Jr. He did a horrible job as Vega in ME3, his voice acting continues to be horrible. Doesn't mean I don't use him in my group tho. My normal team is me (Human Mage, focusing on Storm and Inferno trees) -Cassandra, my tank/waifu who emasculates me -Solas, bromage who shields the party and freezes dah baddies. -Varric, other bro who poisons the dudes. Sometimes I swap Varric for Iron Bull cause he crushes the things. I like Sera too, cause she's fucking insanity mode, but I have very little reason to use her in combat.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=OTGBionicArm]Cuachecka, that must be some Xbone or Ps4 shit cause that scene looked just fine on my Pc. (master race represent)[/quote] i have no idea what system it runs on, but how is it that in your copy -the bowstring bends at her fingers, instead of a few inches lower -the arrow is at her fingers/the bowstring the whole time she draws it, except only doing so at the end -the bowstring itself isnt clipping through her tits -i'm no expert on tits but hers look to be half a foot lower than where they should be then when it switches angle to be behind her -the bowstring bend is still a few inches lower than her fingers -when she releases the arrow it flys from where it was, instead of from her knees up. i was solely talking about the animation. also really great when you don't even have to play the first 2 games in a trilogy, just jump into the third game that came out right now! its not like anything that actually happens in the first 2 games matters because everything was retconned twice! leliannas eyes even changed color[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Chill out. Maybe people didn't like the first two games but want some sense of backstory they can choose. That's why they made the Dragon keep. It was annoying having to play the first two mass Effects as well for similar reasons. Maybe they thought "People don't like having to invest 40 hours into 2 games to change random things in their storyline, let them do it with a simple to use service!" Damn and condemn all companies for making games more streamlined, and saving massive amounts of time. Shame on them! I can tell you that that scene had none of the problems you mentioned when I played through it myself on a PC. It's not that hard to believe that the game was poorly ported to the consoles, and that's where that clip came from. (I'm told DAO was a horrible console port, not sure on DA2).[/quote]

[quote=sirell]I'm playing through it. I'll let you know.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Got it Saturday, I'm playing it completely wrong though. As in, I've spent ages in the Hinterlands and Storm Coast and haven't even gotten the last team member (gay mage guy). [color=#ff8000]Character and team[/color]I'm a Qunari Fire Mage but I haven't spent skills since level 7 because 1) Normal difficulty es 2 ez; 2) I want specializations which probably require me to advance in the story which I don't. I'm paired with: - Vivienne: Shieldmage with 1 point on ice. I love bitchy snobby women with agendas; - Serra: She makes me laugh and I like her voice and fascinations. Plus she's basically the opposite of Vivienne; - Iron Bull: coz I'm hitting on him even though he hasn't reacted so far. Plus I need a tank and he does it perfectly; [color=#ff8000]Game "technical" details I find relevant:[/color] - The PS3 port is kinda eh. It suffers occasional breakdowns/freezes, and you literally can't read anything that's subtitle or note related on my tv, which is about as big as an iMac screen (I guess the designers considered cinema-sized screens?). This also means I miss all the quest-related notes and some traveling dialogues between characters. As well small tutors; - The new camera pisses me off a bit. Perhaps the combination with the PS3 port graphics, I basically can't appreciate monster design, hp bars are bloody tiny. The world is beautiful though. [color=#ff8000]About the previous discussion (DAOxDA2 characters):[/color] I understand the points and I cannot help but agree. However, having met my amount of people that were closer to DA2 chars probably made me empathize a lot with some of them. You're all right when you say they're a lot more shallow and I also knew that when I made the "DAO chars can be stereotyped as well" thing (although I still say Wyne is pretty flat, she's way too goodie goodie for a real person too).[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Wtf I wrote that whole story on my own and all I get is a "I cannot help but agree"? ;-; How the hell could anyone find Sera funny or even if that, like her voice? ;-; I've already made up my mind that I'm not letting her join the Inquisition l0l[/quote]

People have started mistaking the word "Random" for "Hilarious".[/quote]

When I'm thinking ahead//other things and start talking a look like I make no sense and sometimes I go back and then retake my original speech and I'm asked to slow down. Ofc I don't have her ideals because screw the peasants but yeah. Also she has no sensibility, and I can also identify myself with that. The whole Iron Bull "hey Sera you're good with the bow" meeting the answer "Two eyes. It helps right?" (coz he is missing the one eye), among with other things. But hey, I don't actually think it's healthy if everyone agrees on everything, so feel free to hate on the characters I like :P[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]have you read the codex shit or anything it says about her on the mission table? That shits actually quite hilarious.[/quote]
