The hissing waste is so large they hadd to change the scale of the map. Its not the number of zones that makes it big though its that if you traveled 30 paces north on both maps you would have traveled 30% as far on the map in the hissing waste.

Its a huge vast desert and you really feel like it is when you have to cover ground there.

The romance options for anyone interested in spoiler tags just incase youre weird about that stuff:

I'm gonna start this at the end of this week, I promise.

Just gotta spend an hour on the computer here and plug in all my decisions into The Keep and upload.

Completed the rifts in the Hissing Wastes last night. I panned around the map to see how big it was and it felt small. Then I started traveling through it and shit.... they did change the scale for this one, but it isn't apparent until you are actually moving around on the map.

Rifts are starting to become challenging, sometimes spawning two pride demons and a despair demon all in the same round. I can nearly one shot the despair demons with my rogue, but then they do their spinny jump 100 feet away thing, which is just annoying :P

Yeah to deal with them i actually respec'd to give my self some single target control moves. I ran one tank and three glass cannons so of they got off my tank it was bad news fast. Plus everything in the hissing wastes in lvl 19 or so there theyre especially rough.

Side bar: why did they do away with genlocks and desire demons? They added fear demons and despair demons but removed other staples.

Also no ogres.

No Ogres, but giants.... though they aren't as deadly as ogres were.

Maybe the other demons will be some sorta awesome DLC?

Giants were a great addition! The one on the storm coast was the coolest :D

Im patiently waiting for the dlc too. I will pay all the monies

The one fighting the dragon? You know, outside of Hinterlands, I have yet to come across one. I am questing in the Western Front and have some shit to take back to the Dragon hunter fella.

I have heard plenty of them, but generally GTFO of dodge before I see them. They do hurty things to me and mah party.

SHould go back to hinterlands and kick that dragon's ass. Think it was level 12 or something. I am level 15 now.

Yea didnt wanna spoil how cool that was :p

The dragon in the hinterlands is the lowest level and the one in the western front is the second lowest. I think the western front dragon would be easier but either way youre ready to kill em think

Gonna give it a go after watching some Sons of Anarchy tonight. In-laws are keeping the boy, FFFFFFRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

Ran through the "royal party" part of the campaign last night. Without giving anything away, my Rogue isn't quite as cunty as I thought, as I chose to



Also met Morrigan again :D She has no effing idea where our kid is, should have known she would have been a deadbeat mom.

Game gets soooooooooooooooooooooo much better the more I play through it. 2nd playthrough will be better I think, since I have a more firm hold on what I am doing. Also obtained some unique daggers (Knightslayer is one of them) that completely changed my attack animations. I do some jumping, spinning ninja style shit now. Pretty sweet.

If anyone is on the fence, I highly recommend getting this game.

Started last night. Combat should be pretty quick to pick up. It's a nice blend of the systems of Origins & 2.


Rolled out a Rogue Archer, we'll see how this goes.

Rogue Archers are EZ mode, no doubt. They can also hit hard as shit though.

Combat is definitely fun, but can seem repetitive until new enemy types are introduced. Stick with it though, it is a great experience.

Yeah, reeeeeeeeeeally fucking around in The Hinterlands longer than I should be. I'll track down "that guy" and be on my merry way.

Just went back there at level 18 and did quests for my level. There is a shit ton to do there.

Dont be afraid to ignore the main story though

Just finished the story this morning, and HOLY SHIT is right for the after credit sequence.

Going to keep playing on my Rogue, but also started a sword/shield warrior who I will respec many times to 2H depending on gear and stuff. Also made it female to get some of that elven poon.

Love this game, going to play it still, for quite some time. Still a ton to do.

Yeah. When I get home from work, I'm going forward. Done in The Hinterlands for now.

Ive got a few other games to play so I'll do my multiple playthroughs after some dlc is out BUT IM SO EXCITED

A,nd as a lore enthusiast there is so much to discuss about the end scene.

Started my 2nd playthrough and upped the difficulty. I do miss my insane damage with my rogue, but there is something extremely satisfying about bashing enemies with your shield and causing them to shatter (ice combo) or explode (FIRE! FIRE!!! FIRE!!!!!!!!!). I had not seen the slow motion shatters before, looks very cool. Now if they had a "screenshot" mode like Shadow Of Mordor....

Playing through a 2nd time, knowing what I now know, makes the game even more interesting, as it pertains to the main story.


Updated my warrior to 2H smash things. Much more fun than sword n board.

Spending a lot of time doing side missions so I can muster up the courage (and firepower) to take on my first High Dragon.

Just finished and clocked in at 99 hours. Longer than I thought this would go.

Aside from hitting the dragon counter glitch and a save killer glitch at the very end of the game. This was great.

Assembled a badass all rogue squad it's amazing sometimes I just sit back and let them stealth kill EVERYTHING!

Favorite memory so far

After a few battles and some nice leveling Me:"Ah I feel my power has grown! Stay here my assassins I shall venture back into the hinterlands and solo the dragon!"
10 mins after barely escaping: DO NOT try to solo the dragon!

lol the tiniest cave

DLC is inbound. Trailer for 'Jaws of Hakkon' will be released tomorrow. XB1 and PC get the DLC first.

Why am I stuck at some fancy royal party when I could be outside chopping the heads off demons? argh

THat Royal party is an amazing part of the game. Let it play out.

Unless you are referring to another party in the DLC?

Nope thats the one bunch of assholes who think murder is a game and like to wear masks and be super pretentious.

What did you decide at the end of the event?

Not there yet I will probably finish up on the week end I was late back to the ball and "while I didn't dazzle the court I didn't look foolish either."

Tip, Kira. Move fast. You're on a clock on that mission.

Is it OK to ask who I should back(don't answer if its too big a spoiler)

It doesn't matter, just your preference. You don't really hear the outcome of your selection until the epilogue.
