Got some vacation time coming up and hope to crack this open and get started soon. |

PC version supposedly the buggiest out of all the platforms with EA offering as the only solution to delete and re-download/install the game until a patch (or a few) arrives.

Finished 2 and just finished my keep state. Ended up not fixing my previously mentioned error. felt it added flavor to the playthrough. Dunno. Will fire up DA:I once I get home. Likely only going to make my inquisitor and then stop at the first logical save point.
VERY EXCITED THOUGH. |

Game keeps getting better. Shortage of potions, or lack of way to heal so far. Two more levels and my mage follower (wtf ever the bald dude is called) will have a healing-type spell.
HOORAY for poisoned daggers - makes a shit ton of difference as a rogue. |

How similar is this to Skyrim, keep seeing the two put together in comparisons for reviews, just they have dragons?

Not that similar, honestly. I mean, you have a party and heavy RPG elements, but that is about it.I would say the story is MUCH more detailed and has a ton more substance. The gameplay is completey different though and more MMORPG'ish in the sense of cooldowns and minumum resource for casting.

Example of the combat AND dragons.....
Dragon fights are much more "epic" in the sense you really cannot approach a dragon and just melee his facehole and expect him to keel over. You have to target limbs, incapacitate him and then do the major damage. They sound and look cooler too :P |

Have a 4 day weekend, so I'm picking this up today. Can't wait.
Heard there is so much content that it is overwhelming. Love that feeling though. Makes me feel like the game is going to last, and that I got my money's worth. |

Definitely a fuckton to do. I have put about 10 hours in it and only opened 2 new "zones". Granted, one of them starts with enemies around level 12, which is above what I can currently handle, so I am still playing in the starting area + coast.
You will see "LEAVE HINTERLANDS ASAP" on the webs a lot. Just don't leave TOO quickly like I did. Lotsa fun stuff in the game, hope you enjoy it. |

Super tense fight tho |

Oh and to the hinterlands stuff: stick with the main story quests until you open up the specialization classes. Thank me later

Can I go back to the hinterlands once I've left? And how long before these specialization classes open? Just got to hinderlands and freed the crossroads.
Also, holy shit, you know it's gonna be a long game when an hour in you finally get the title screen. |

You can go back to the Hinterlands, yes. That is what I had to do because I left too soon and was getting beat down everywhere I tried to go.
No idea about specializations, level 10 maybe? |

Go ahead and explore and have fun with thw sandbox but keep focused on the main questline until then. You dont want to have to respec your inquisitor just because you got distracted hunting elfroot for 18 hours

Oh, well my dudes are only like level 5-6, so I can prolly hang out a bit more. Went to those marshes and a couple zombies almost killed a couple members of my party. Was like Noooooooooope. Back to the fuzzy bunny infested forest.

LOL!
Did the same thing. Used tactical to see the lowest level was 12 and my party max level was 8. Haven't had a chance to play all week. Spent around 10 hours or so picking elfroot up to now ![]() |

The fiirst respect pot (sold by your armorer) is only 1g so its obviously affordable by the specializations do make the game better. Plus you unlock the focus system which is a big plus.

I respect your guy's opinions. Would I enjoy this game?
Shenmue was mentioned I like Mass Effect been playing any kind of RPGs since the NES days. Not really glued down to one type of RPG, I love the story and character build. I love fire,saving bitches in distress and dragons. |

I know I can just get on someone's Twitch and watch them play it, but I don't know those people that well.

I think you would enjoy it if you enjoyed Mass Effect. Deep character development + main story complete with party member side stories, a la ME2.
Think of it as ME without guns and stuff and with more RPG elements added. I can set up a twitch broadcast tonight or this weekend if you like. I am not far into the game, so you may not see much, but you will get the idea of combat, which I love as a dagger wielding backstabbing rogue. |

I'm stacked on games, but I can see myself enjoying it. I'd love a clip if you deem something worthy of me viewing.
I haven't got to play all week as part of my Father Mission. Trying to build some cred to throw in my father's face, plus it's just best for business |

It is definitely a MAJOR time sink. There are some who claim they have logged 60-80 hours and ignored the main mission (up to a point) so they still have stuff to work through.
Definitely a massive game. |

So if you're like me and dont buy a lot of games this is one youll get your money out of. |

Fucking Dragon in the Hinterlands kicked my ass 3 times now. This last time I thought I leveled up enough to take him, especially since the elf mage dude maxed out his healing abilities, but after getting him down to less than a quarter of health, he starts spamming his fireball attack and toasted my party.
BUT Just unlocked enchantment stuff, so I'm gonna craft some fire resistant armor and wreck his shit. |

Oh shit, forgot about that. I actually had completed that already, but I just threw the belt on a random party member to keep their pants up.
God I hope I didn't sell it. Also, great as this game is, there are a ton of bugs in this. Like, PS3 Skyrim bad. Nothing game breaking, but my dude's voice changed for some reason. |

also: collected all the shards in a view regions. No reward. It would seem that there a singular reward for collecting them all. Which i apporove of.
I cant confirm this but it seems like they are tied to a dungeon in one of the desert regions. |

So for the past hour i have been locked in battle with Vinsomer the high dragon who is a LVL 19 to my LVL 16. She wiped my party pretty quicky but my inquisitor is practically unkillable. Sword and shield champion with 2% heal on strike weapon and gear that increases the heal% and tons of ways to generate guard (and with the champion skill tree damage invulnerability for 8seconds every 32 seconds [-1sec cooldown of all skills per being hit {so that a lot of chances to heal with no damage being taken basically.}]) thing is Vinsomer generates a guard worth her entire 21k of HP. So once you deal 21k damage you have...15-30 seconds to actually pull from her HP. I have her down to 15k presently. Im gonna kill her...but this will take another 4 hours...
