[quote=FalseoGod][quote=OTGBionicArm]have you read the codex shit or anything it says about her on the mission table? That shits actually quite hilarious.[/quote] I haven't tried, as I said somewhere above most things are unreadable for me. My screen definition isn't incredible by itself but they made the font size clearly for huge ass televisions so I can barely read anything that isn't the main menu. I haven't tried the Codex because I assumed it'd be tiny, I might try it later.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]I am just going to write a lines of text here so you can't read the insides of the spoilers from the activity feed. [spoiler=read at own risk]So many shit is happening holy shit. I recently killed myself (sortof), did the amazing noble festival thing and I killed the Iron Bulls "Chargers" D: The moment I was about to leave the fade after the great anti-demon grey warden battle, there was this giant monster and Hawke was like: oeh noes we need to distract it. Then the grey warden was like: Lemme do it. Then Hawke was like: No me. Then the game told me that the one that would stay would die and and and ;_;. As an inquisitor I thought it would be best that the grey wardens would remain as strong as they can, whereas Hawke wouldn't really help them I felt. So I let Hawke die, me, in another life D: Then this noble festival thing, holy shit it was huge. It was like the landsmeet x500. I LOVED IT. It was playing mind games with ppl, stealing information and solving mysteries. As I kept playing I was continuously thinking: "Holy shit I am still playing Dragon Age Inquisition, god this game is deep". It was so amazing. After all these hours of gameplay I also finally found Morrigan. Wheres your baby misses witch? :o Finally, the Iron Bull suggested an alliance with the Qun. I love the Qun so I was like aww yeah. Then we had to do this mission, we and the Bull's "chargers" split up. Everything went fine until the chargers got attacked. Then I had the choice: Either let them stay and die, become allianced with the Qun. Or let them escape and abandon mission, possibly becoming hostile to the Qun. As an inquisitor, the alliance with the Qun was too important to pass. I let them die ;_;. Omg I felt sooo sorry for the Bull, the worst thing is is that he accepted it and didn't blame me. I FELT SO TERRIBLE AMG[/spoiler] I decided to become a knight enchanter mage, I am almost unkillable now. This free barrier, mana regeneration and guard/barrier breaking melee ability are all amazing. I also switched out Solas for Vivienne. Vivienne has very cute interactions with Iron Bull and is less of a smartass than Solas. Besides, I made Vivienne our barrier bitch now, yay :D At this level (14) a lot of things seem easy now. I killed two dragons already and each interaction seems to go smoothly. Might be because the inquisition perk of +4 health potions is kinda great. Atm I would say that if the ending is as epic as it was in Dragon Age Origins, Inquisition is definitely my favorite Dragon Age so far :D[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]^ Yea, Knight Enchanter is incredibly strong, and I read Vivienne can solo dragons. I made my mage a Fire/Storm mage because I found the specializations lackluster though (although Dorian is showing me that there's some potential to the necromancer thingy), I'm on my way to unlock the Rift specialization but I care little for it. At this point I'm doing what I always do, and rotating through team mates as I explore parts of the maps that I'm 99% sure won't bring me huge approval-influencing decisions so I can hear more interactions. I hate Cole, though, or at least what he's shown me so far. The all "Spiritual Empathy" thing only showed me an emo side I can't bear, I'm sure he has some good qualities but I haven't seen dialogues that didn't put me off yet. Sera and Iron Bull have really funny interactions :D I'm doing the overachiever thing where I basically explore every map until there's nothing I can do to further my explorations, always trying to avoid the main story.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]Is it weird that I just made love to a giant man that is literally horny all the time?[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Depends on the horn, I guess.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Yea, i went Knight Enchanter too. You just facetank everything with barrier and do a million damage with Spirit blade.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]I haven't even seen half of what the game has and I'm already aching to try a completely different approach to an Inquisitor D: Also, I actually think Rift Mage might be the worst option for a specialization. I can't tell for sure though, because my Solas does't cast a single spell from that tree (q.q) while my Dorian blows everything apart with spells I don't know and Walking Bomb. My only issue about the Mortaletasi is that when he has an enemy spirit under his power you don't get the wave count as cleared until the spirit fades away ( which means Rifts won't refresh or end, quest dialogues won't trigger immediately, etc).[/quote]

I had the same issue with my own character not doing a damn thing if I took control of someone else. I think Solas does pretty well as a rift mage. I personally use him, Cassandra (mostly Templar tree and taunts) and Varric. Sidenote: Are we all playing fucking mages?[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]I am just going to write a lines of text here so you can't read the insides of the spoilers from the activity feed. [spoiler=read at own risk]I KNEW THIS FCKING SOLAS WAS AN ASSHOLE AMG. THE ENDING SO BETRAYAL AND SHIT LIKE WOOOOOT. I liked Flemeth and then he just backstabs her like a little bitch. Next playthrough I am gonna be such an asshole to him 24/7, he will taste my vengeance.[/spoiler] [quote=otgbionicarm]Sidenote: Are we all playing fucking mages?[/quote]So far seems so. Second playthrough I am gonna do an archer dwarf tho. Gonna make a full artillery team cuz fck yeah.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]From what I read on Reddit, and seemingly the conclusion half of us came to; Knight Enchanters are flat out OP. Bioware plans on hotfixing them, lol. And yea, I think I may play a stabby stabby on second playthrough. (or maybe one of those drug using rogues like Sera. "Tempest", suuuuure.) Also IMPORTANT TIP BUT SPOILERS AHEAD, but you might wanna read it ahead of time anyway to avoid this bug I found. [spoiler=YOU BEEN WARNED] After you get to Skyhold, Varric will introduce you to Hawke from Dragon Age 2. You have a choice here to use his/her default box art look or to customize him/her. Do not do this. Just use the default appearance. If you customize Hawke, the game bugs and your Inquisitor will have the opposite voice of what you chose for them (Mine is now British apparently, better load an older save). [/spoiler] BTW should we all exchange origin tags? Assuming we're all PC master race? (Mines DHCGammaCrush)[/quote]
