Death From Above Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Dragon Age: Origins is the first one that isn't broken, right? Because it's in the new Humble Bundle. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second one isn't really broken at this point, it's just not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_W_P Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Started DAI last night. Havent played either of the first 2 so going in blind and playing my character as such. Asking lots of questions and making a choice based on gut feel rather than what I think is "right". Playing a Qunari Mage as I find that the most visually pleasing. Just made it into the first area after the first war council and the forming of the Inquisition. Really fun so far. Havent even bothered with the main quest here yet, just getting all the side missions out of the way. The battles are nice and fluid, healing is an issue at times (is there a mage heal spell at any point?) but I havent wiped out. Only gripe is that I seem to be the focus of every enemy despite having Cassandra AND the dwarf both in close combat. They just get ignored and enemies charge right at me! Very fun though and I can see why people have poured 100's of hours into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the specializations (Knight-Enchanter, I think) gets something, but that's it. You'll learn how to juggle potions, regen potions, barrier, guard, etc. as you go along. You'll be a little safer as you level up. You'll get passives that reduce your threat while warriors get skills and passive to increase their's. Until then, "Run, Adaar, run!"

L_W_P Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah ive worked out a little combo. Cassandra taunting, Dwarf protecting with a poison infused Bianca, Other mage buffing. I then run interference with ice spells as needed and keep everyone taking potions. Ran into my first dragon today. Just exploring the hills and then I hear and excited "And off she goes..." I look around thinking Cassandra has bailed and I see the shadow. I bolted as fast as I could back to camp hahaha Thinking ill head back to the first town and dump all my useless gear, upgrade what I can and then head back out. Sooooooooooo many side missions... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah - that is the first dragon EVERYONE stumbles across Poor poor people who try to fight it way too early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I somehow didn't find that one till I was level 22. Almost felt sorry for the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Once you get three levels above a dragon its hard not to feel sorry for it as the fight become something of a slaughter in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Once you get three levels above a dragon its hard not to feel sorry for it as the fight become something of a slaughter in your favor. I think the only dragon I had any real difficulty with was the Highland Ravager in Emprise du Lion. Most of the rest of them seemed pretty much the same to me. I probably waited too long to get any challenge out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh yeah - I have waited till I was at least one level above all the ones I have fought and I don't think I have had too much problems. And if no one has said this yet - make sure to bring Iron Bull along at least once to a dragon battle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_W_P Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So I have finally cleared everything I possibly can in the Hinterlands. Still have a few Rifts to close and a Dragon to kill but having just hit level 8 im still a way off. Ive repec'd the team as follows - Cassandra - One handing and taunts/battle cry. Using her to tank and draw the enemy. Solas - Barriers and Fire spells. Main defensive mage but can dish out some pain. Varric - Switched him from ranged to dual wielding with some top end daggers I picked up. Speccd into poison and stealth so he can get in and out of close range without taking too much damage. Im playing as a Quinari mage. Put my points into Ice and Barrier. I help buff the defence for Cass and Varric and then use ice mines and frost spells to slow/freeze the bad guys. Ive put close to 20 hours in so far and I am totally hooked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 So yeah... I might have been a touch over powered for the final battle. That took no time at all and I barely took any damage. Heck - the only reason I used potions was because there were resupply caches so I drink a potion just so they wouldnt go to waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yeah the final battle is kind of disappointing. It doesn't feel as big as either Origins or DA2's final battle and is much easier than both as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last time I bothered to finish the game, the total amount of time spent in battle between the three stages was no more than 5 minutes.

RIPPA Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 It was weird - you would have thought that for the climatic battle you would have had moments of all your squad mates fighting and what not. Nope - it was just all "Oh hey guys - yeah killed me an ArchDemon and an Evil One. What have you been up to?" There were early battles that felt much more like how I thought the final battle would be laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_W_P Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Cleared the Mire and the Storm coast. Picked up Bull, Sera, Viv and Blackwall. Had to make a choice between the mages and the templars. Not knowing alot about the history of this world I went with my gut and sided with my fellow mages given the snide trearment I received (Quinari mage remember) from the templars earlier on. What a crazy twist this game took - The time travel thing was really cool and adds tothe connection with some characters Have been running with a Iron Bull (2 handed), Varric (Poison/Stealth) and Solas (Barrier/Fire) but I really like the cut of Dorian's gib and have specced him in Barrier/Lightning. He will be replacing Solas from here. Am I missing anything having skipped Origins and DA2? Is the gameplay much the same? Really feel like I should play those before my second playthrough so that I have a different world and a different understanding of certain characters/collectives/places.

Eivion Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I would say both are definitely worth playing before a second DAI play through though quite a few here would disagree with me on DA2. The gameplay in Inquisition is more of a hybrid between the first two games so it won't quite be the same despite similarities. If you are interested in the world and the overarching characters like Varric, Leiliana, Cullen, etc. there is much to learn by playing them.

RIPPA Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well again - I irrationally hate DA2 because I got the game breaking save bug that has since been patched Other folks who played it had a different experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What, you didn't love that ending? If I was more certain that it would be cleared up in a short amount of time, I'd be more OK with it. Unfortunately, it'll more likely be 3 or 4 years before we get good explanations. :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
