Thursday Next Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't recall if this is true of previous entries, but the lack of a storage chest is a major PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Oh yeah, the no storage was irritating, forgot about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 We have another one who likes DA2 more than the first? There are dozens of us, you know! I think I may just have found the 3rd one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 DA:O had a storage chest in DLC and DA2 had a storage chest from the get-go. DA:I mixes what you like from DA:O with the streamlined combat from DA2. My biggest gripe with DA:I is that there are so many throwaway quests rather than involved and interested follower quests or meaty sidequests. I also never liked the very limited number of enemy types in the DA games since DA:O. It's such a shame; there should be a much, much, much wider variety of demon enemies, at the very least. Bosses and even mini bosses should be unique demons and should look unique and have unique attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) ^Isn't that usually just standard fare wRPG stuff? I think western rpgs were never really good with bosses. Even the Witcher 2, I think only had 1 unique boss, that huge octopus thing which is also the first boss. I think that's why the end of ME2 felt really out of place. Suddenly you had this final boss. It was really weird. Edited January 15, 2015 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah, no storage sucked until I upgraded my inventory. Now that I can hold 90 items it isn't really much of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah, there was only one point in the game where I actually hit the inventory cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Heh. I hit it constantly, even after emptying it completely whenever I hit the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDDQD Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Even the Witcher 2, I think only had 1 unique boss, that huge octopus thing which is also the first boss. Letho was meh but Draug and the Dragon were pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The story in dragon age Inquisition is pretty short....and kind of reminded me of dao in that it was pretty linear/straightforward. But I had a blast with it. Hopefully they balance it a bit more. Keep the open world. More main quest. Less filler quests(LESS Bioware! That doesn't mean throw it away!) Sharpen the tactical combat.

Thursday Next Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is that some sort of bastardised haiku? The first thing I upgraded was inventory, it's not enough. I need to dump all the things somewhere safe in case I need them later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 my inventory hit sixty out of sixty fuck, back to Skyhold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pirate Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Kind of bummed Varric is not romanceable... Also, there's been a few quest glitches I've noticed. I had to go back and lose two hours because I had saved during a glitch with Solas's personal quest not activating the NPC spawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Had no idea I was attempting to write a Haiku. And failed.@LPYeah, remember a lot of people pissed that Varric wasn't romance-able. Like...not just Bummed, but livid.Ah, game fanboy/girls...

IDDQD Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 So I'm about 15 hrs in and I'm happy to report that aside from the prologue I did bugger-all with the main story. And I'm ok with that - it plays out a lot like Skyrim. To me, best title in the series, at least so far. Though I'm slowly starting to regret that I made a qunari character. Not only there's a big limitation on the types of armor he can equip, but also the race doesn't fit the Paragon Shepard playstyle that I'm used to. Picking noble responses makes him look like a total wuss compared to Sten or that other guy from DA2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 You always play the same style? Doesn't that get boring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDDQD Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not always, I go with other options/genders/classes but only on repeated playthroughs. First one is usually "the good guy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 So while you're all off playing Pillars of Eternity I'm here playing Dragon Age Inquisition. Housemate has it on Xbox and really pushed my itch then it went on sale. So far so good. It plays different to DA:O in a fair few ways n some I'm not keen on (e.g not having a single click auto-attack is kinda annoying, double so as I think my mouse is starting to give out). There's like a lot of the base lore I can get from playing DA:O, though missing out on DAII kinda means there's chunks cropping up (especially I'm to understand Varrick is in DAII cos Kirkwall gets mentioned in a lot of his dialogue with other party members). Party members I currently have the core alongside ...err Viviene the mage, Balckwall the Warden n err..Sera the ...whatever she is. A rogue in class but in everything else not sure apart from some low class sort of masons type order? I was a mage in Origins so a lot of new Mage type stuff in DA:I (as in lore wise, not mechanics) throws me off at times. Inventory is painful to use (the complete lack of any filtering/ordering is a real PITA n means having to read each item when I'm trying to sort shit out to dump). I'm also suspecting things in my inventory that might not be expected to take up space are cos I'm almost completely full. But without randomly selling off stuff like recipes to test a theory (which might also mean not able to craft that item) I can't tell. Other than that quite enjoying it, much larger than DA:O, especially considering I've so far only got Hinterlands, Val Royeaux and err the oasis place (which I think is called "The Oasis") visited so far (got the marsh unlocked but unvisited, I'm to understand that's where Ostagar is). Fast Travel is much better too. Though I do at times miss the buildings of DA:I to go around n explore (though with the camera I'm not sure it'd comfortably work. It's a bit clunky in some of the smaller caves/structures you visit). I might go through some of your lots posts now I guess I'll understand more stuff.

Mr. GOH! Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ostagar is not in this game, though the marshes are nearby, I guess. Read a spoiler summary of DA2. DA:I heavily depends on the events in DA2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Oh I know it's not in the game, but yeah the marshes mentioned where soldiers are going missing are the same as prologue ones for DA:O though. Anywho, here's my cowboy Herald: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm midway through my second playthrough and I only ever used the mounts once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah that's so far my only time using the mount. Just got on it for the super cowboy photo (I'll be honest, I can't wholly figure it out, my mount icon is always blacked out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Mounts! Who needs 'em?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I used them whenever I had a specific place I was going and it was far away from the nearest fast travel point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) For me the speed bonus never outweighed the annoyance of dealing with summoning a mount. And the quests associated with the mounts are boring to me. I ignored them on my second playthrough so far. At one point when I was at Skyhold and had advanced the main quest line a bit, as I was going to speak with Blackwall, my Inquisitor suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "Oh, gods, I totally forgot about [horse farm owner's name]!"
