Looks amazing.
I got Dragon Age Inquisition and it's pretty good. I've played about 5 or 6 hours and I feel I'm still lost lol. It's daunting with how many things you can do and upgrade. Still not quite sure what I'm doing with fighting. I can really see how people can put 100 hours into this game though. The game got great reviews although I don't see why the graphics got such high scores. They are average for next Gen imo. This is my first true RPG.
Who else has played this?
*waits impatiently for the next Mass Effect*
I played the demo for DAII many moons ago I and wasn't a fan. DAIII is suppose to be a drastic improvement but I have no interest in it.
I love the games that have massive open worlds. Sadly though I am not much into fighting as I would much prefer to explore and go on adventures. It seems that the sole basis of this game is fighting so I don't see myself picking it up.Quote:

It is certainly a part of the game but I thought some had complained because of too many fetch quests etc. Plus when you come across areas with enemies you can go around. I think this game is geared more towards the people who like to collect and explore than fight.Quote:

L3 - this triggers a search function to help find loot easy
Tactical strategy: most people say to set your range players (mage, archer) to Follow Themselves. It helps them to stay away from the heavy action where they get hurt badly. One guy recommends setting ALL your players to follow themselves while some recommend the tanks (heavy damage, close range guys) to Defend themselves as it puts them VERY close to the action. If you want a tough character to defend another you can use the Defend X person as well. Lots of options but I think I will try follow themselves for everyone for now.
Don't start a fight with a ranged character. Let a heavy character lead the charge.

R3 lets you toggle between the main enemies in tactical view (can use cursor too). The enemies will also show their level and stats.
You can select a target using "X" and then hit L1 to bring up radial menu and have everyone attack that target too. When a member dies you can actually give another member of your party a command to revive them (they can still do it automatically too).
Really good IGN video on tactical controls/commands where a lot of this info came from:

Multiplayer Video - looks like you have to use different characters

Interesting. I will have to look more into this.Quote:

I personally like to fight in these games but this isn't close to Shadow of mordor. That was all action, all the time. You wander around a lot in this game collecting herbs and stuff. You also talk to a lot of people. I am choosing to play on hard because I like the challenge of tough combat. I know many choose easy because they just want to get through the fights quickly and focus on the story.
I am on whatever the default difficulty is. Sometimes the enemies at the rifts can be challenging.
I'm on hard and those guys generally kick my ass.Quote:

The worst was in this one mission (my first on the left side of the map) where I go to the Chantry place. So many things to read - child please! Instead of my companions being quiet 95% of the time why don't they read some of that stuff and discuss it in conversation. I just don't want to spend that much time on all the notes of history. And when I had to "fast travel" to get from the first floor to the second floor of the market in that location because there were no stairs I was annoyed. I don't understand that move.
About 12 hours in total and it does feel like I'm just scratching the surface on this game. I think I'm going to only do maybe half the quests in an effort to get into a little more impactful story stuff.
I typically don't read much of the history stuff. Just too much to take in. If it isn't pertaining to the current time via a note or something, then I just skim over it.Quote:

Anyone tried the multilayer? JB what character are you using?
I've tried multiplayer. Pretty fun. Basically co-op. Not sure on my character off hand.
Yep. It is like co-op; you get grouped with 4 other players. From what I remember there is no respec option in mp so you might want to look up a few builds beforehand so you're not wasting points.Quote:

You can also dismantle items you loot for crafting ingredients. I believe you need to craft an item to unlock the secondary classes iirc.

The ones by the river in hinterlands will decimate a low level group. I think those guys are lvl 12? You might try doing the Druffy mission and have the druffalo help tank those guys. I skipped that rift and came back to it after I leveled up more.Quote:

Thanks. I saw my my first dragon the other day. I got destroyed easily.
I saw one in the distance in that sandy wasteland area (can't remember the name) and definitely kept my distance :DQuote:
