Dragon Age 3: Inquistion

[Vagrant]

Made a female Qunari to start with so didn't have any look through the beard sections. Cool selection of horns to choose from though.

Sigh, so much crap is locked in the Early Access.

Not a demo my ass.

Ive completed literally everything in the first area, and i cant move on

Probably to prevent people from blitzing through the game and spoiling half of it for the rest of the internet.

Terrible week at work; probably close to 80 hours from last Saturday to Friday. Get home at like 10 last night, no chance I have the energy to go out, so I decide to play a little DAO before zonking out. Think I was up until like 4 playing. Combat is pretty shitty imo, but game is fun as hell. It's like Team Diablo / Skyrim.

This MP is too fucking hard even on easy. Ops always fail or fail right at the very end cause of some weird shit.

Also Assassin and Templar are the best

I am enjoying Origins so much that I may actually not play Inquisition on release and wait until I finish Origins. Anyone know how long it would take to finish Origins if I've only done the Circle Tower + Denerim starting quests (alley thugs, body dumping, etc.) + Urn of Sacred Ashes temple?

Dwarf and Elf portions each probably take 3-4 hours depending on how sidetracked you get, and probably like 2-3 for the landsmeet.

Origins is probably one of my top 3 games for eternity but it's so so ugly now

[BadKarma]

And it was ugly when it came out

You should also be sure to play through Awakenings. It's a great expansion. Witch Hunt and Leliana's Song are great too but much shorter. Golems of Amgarrak has very little story and is basically one giant, albeit challenging, dungeon romp.

Local game store called and told me my pre-order was in. Fuck yeah breaking street date like a boss.

Origins is still one of my favorite games. The mods make it prettier now btw, it actually looks decent. It was ugly as hell stock though. It is one of the only games I have played through more than twice...and it is probably closer to ten+.

edit: seconding the awakening reco above. I enjoyed all the expansions for Origins really, they all add to the story or are at least fun (Golems).

It's still ugly with mods. I just played it again last week

With the right set of mods and sweetfx it can look pretty good.

Though like Skyrim you can run the danger of overloading the game and causing a memory leak.

I have some screenshots I took a couple months ago I'll put in the bucket when I get home.

[Tidane]

I played it this weekend with some mods and thought it looked alright. No actual memory leak, but it did crash more than I remember.

Thanks Krandor

And, not to turn this into an Origins thread, but does anyone have basic tactics tips? I feel like I am just totally failing to use this effectively as I basically have not changed tactics since I started. I play sword + board warden with Wynne / Morrigan / Leliana.

• Easy fights I just run in, voke, bash things, and everything's dead.
• For hard non-boss groups, I'll run in voke / shield wall, have Wynne cast Heroic Shield at some point, and then have Morrigan cast Force Field on me once health is really low. Stuff typically dead after Force Field wears.
• Boss fights really vary by fight, but I've found them easier than some of the mage-laden / yellow named monster pulls.

I feel like Morrigan in particular is being underutilized here.
