I had to enter the tavern 8 or 9 times to trigger the dad+dorian scene twice... At the point where it finally worked (or that I was desperate enough to enter the tavern, re-load, enter again and so on) I already had the quest for 20 hours.

So if you're stuck there after finally getting the quest: don't give up. The entire quest seems to trigger a bit too random.

Did you do the wyvern quest? I think the area is shown on the map before, but there should be a region where the wyvern is that only unlocks when you enter it. It's been a while so no guarantees here.

Wie war das mal? "Speicher so oft wie möglich in vielen verschiedenen Speicherplätzen." Ich würde gerne vor fast jeder War Table Operation abspeichern, aber dafür reicht der Platz nicht. Oder vor fast jedem Richtspruch... Einfach damit ich dahin zurückspringen kann, wenn ich meine Entscheidung doch anders getroffen hätte. Stattdessen darf ich dann so 2-3 Stunden nochmal spielen.

Beim Witcher 2 habe ich 602 Saves und das noch nichtmal fertig. Der Hauptcharakter aus Origins bringt es auf 442 Saves, in der Revision auch noch nicht fertig (ich mache ein paar Gespräche nochmal).

Auch sind sie mir nicht eindeutig genug beschriftet. Daher bleibt dann nur wie bei deusex99 das Aufschreiben. (Vielleicht in der Beschreibung noch der gerade aktive Quest, das würde mir schon helfen.)

Und genau deshalb spiele ich Fernkämpfer. Es ist einfach nur nervig. Vor allem auch unnötig, da es außer den Zauberminen eh keine Fallen mehr gibt, auf die man beim Laufen aufpassen müsste. Man könnte auch einen Schurken nehmen, eine seiner/ihrer Fähigkeiten katapultiert/teleportiert dich quasi zum Gegner.

Aber: Die Wegfindung ist eine Krankheit. Meine Kollegen haben mich schon so oft von Klippen usw. geschubbst, die bleiben nicht stehen, wenn du stehst, bleiben bei Kämpfen gerne mal an Felsblöcken hängen usw. - jetzt stelle man sich mal eine automatische Wegfindung beim eigenen Charakter vor, die genauso "gut" funktioniert. Natürlich würde dann auch das Springen keinen Sinn mehr machen, wenn man automatisch selbst zu Kisten oder den Sammelobjekten laufen würde.

Warum muss Flemeth oder Asha'bellanar gleich eine Geliebte sein? Eine gute Freundin, eine Vertraute, möglicherweise eine Unsterbliche wie er. Eine, die die Umstände kennt, wieso er geschlafen hat und vermutlich auch, wieso er die anderen Götter angeblich ausgetrickst hat. Man bekommt sehr viel mit, wenn man Solas und Cole in einer Party hat. Vieles macht auch erst mit der Post-Credits-Szene einen Sinn. Ich denke, er hatte mehr als gute Gründe, und die Geschichte, wie sie die Dalish erzählen, ist entweder gar nicht oder nur teilweise wahr, wie der Rest der Elvhen-Legenden.

Bei Flemeth... sie kann den Brunnentrinker kontrollieren. Vielleicht will er das nicht. Oder braucht diese Macht selbst. Bis zur Auflösung des Cliffhanger werden wir maximal 3-4 Jahre warten.

Ich hätte schwören können, dass ich vor Patch 1 da irgendwas gefunden habe. Aber auch eher durch Zufall. Kann allerdings nicht mehr sagen, ob ich da irgendwo oben hin gehüpft bin. Ich habe den Charakter samt Spielstand auch nicht mehr.

Wenn's nicht gepatcht wird, landet es in meiner Bioware-hat's-versaut-Kiste, so wie die eine Rüstung in Awakening, von der man nur dank eines Mods alle Teile finden konnte. Oder die Quests in II, deren Marker trotz Questende weiterhin angezeigt wurden.

Prima hat die Karten vielleicht von BioWare geliefert bekommen als Grundlage.

There are indeed 114 shards and all are needed since you need 6 shards to open the Temple. Then 36 for each element (fire, ice, spirit).

I completed the temple yesterday after watching helpful videos from this forum for the shards in the Exalted Plains. I finally have some more electricity resistance - yay!

You can have the speaker lady in Winterwatch Tower/Hinterlands collect information for you after you close the rift there. Varric can persuade a scout in a quest close to the tower (?) to join the Inquisition. Those are available early in the game.

Try Coracavus and Still Ruins in the Western Approach. One of these is where I started the mosaic 'Freed Are Slaves'.

Laut englischem Forum ist es im Inneren (!) einer Klippe, wo man also eigentlich nicht hinkommt. (Seit der Foren-Umstellung funktioniert das C+P von Links nicht mehr bei mir, sonst würde ich es verlinken.)

I am pretty sure that the dragons have a level-lock, that locks their level when you encounter them first. My Vinsomer/Storm Coast is lv. 19 and pretty ugly (you really need electricity resistance) and this could have happened because I already was level 20 when I first entered her island/lair and right-clicked or use tact cam her to check her stats. The Prima guide talks about a lv. 16 Vinsomer.

Frostback/Hinterlands lv. 12

Abyssal/Approach lv. 14

Hunter/Crestwood lv. 13

Stormrider/Plains lv. 15

Mistral/Graves lv. 17

Howler/Wastes lv. 20

Emprise: Hivernal lv. 19, Kaltenzahn lv. 21,  Ravager lv. 23.

I will try to take out the Howler next, because Vinsomer is giving me a hard time and the Ravager might still be too big. Thank you for the setup hints.

Second one - thank you.  (I always wondered why that window was open. Must be more curious. This one was for Invasion.)

The completed Archdemon is also missing a piece on the wall here.

For the missing 4 pieces... Waiting for a later date (Spoils of Desecration), not accessible at the moment (Din'an), should be there but the scanner and the surroundings show nothing (Chateau d'Onterre) and then there's a lovely dragon in the way (Hissing Wastes). So because of Fall piece 12/12 and the d'Onterre piece I'm giving up.

Sacrifice 11/12, Invasion 9/12, The Fall 11/12, Archdemon and Freed Are Slaves 12/12

Hey guys. My two cents on Dragon Age: Inquisition (feels and reads more like 20,000 Euros):

They screwed up on the PC. I've learned 13 Abilities so far and only 8 are available for use, the small icons would be too small for mouse clicking, lots of bugs and glitches, a crafting system that takes up too much time (artificially lengthening the game as are the areas), PC mouse and keyboard controls are awful at times, companions pushing you over the edge because of their way-finding and hold position doesn't work, an extensive amount of jumping is required... this game could have been soooooo much more. The graphics are awesome, the voice acting is brilliant as usual (except for the Wicked Grace scene), the setting, most characters... The story is okay, but feels too short if you only do story missions - like when you make a single book into three movies, you have to add extras, else it is too short. There are dragon fights - if only there was this great moment when the complete dragon lies slayn (?) on the battlefield like the High Dragons did earlier - to be a memorial of your heroic deed. And are not replaced by a single stupid lootable head that simply disappears. Most of the quests are too simple. And what did BioWare do to the atmosphere? Everything codex now is presented in contemporary white letters on black background. What should have been used nearly everywhere is only used for War Table operations.

And then: a maximum number of potions? Are you shitting me? Welcome to the Action-RPG-Adventure genre. edit: Every time I use a potion it's like using Medigel and this is the wrong game for Medigel. This is not what I wanted. Not what BioWare promised to PC gamers. This game screams console game everywhere. I would not mind paying more money or extra for a proper PC version with a HUD that is made to fit PC gamers like a glove. Where the mouse works properly at all times. Thus said: being a console game on consoles is absolutely no problem, but BioWare promised a careful crafted PC version. I expected this... well, I should have guessed from the few PC screenshots and videos. They always said: this is in development, it won't look like this in the final version.

In Origins we had Skills, Abilities and Stats. In Dragon Age II we had Stats and Abilites. And now, there's only Abilities left? You can change Stats via Crafting and add a pair of Skills by Inquisition perks...

(Okay, there also is the fact that I wanted Jo and Sis and me to wear a dress at the ball and not some stupid uniform. ^.^ )

Everywhere I look, I see what Inquisition could have been... and where instead it calls me a 17-year-old brat.

I loved serving with you. It's been an honor. See you next year.

I stumbled across this thread looking for help on how to reach that second piece above the dungeon close to the river. Thank you all! If I want to jump in a game to get collections done, I will play Assassin's Creed.

I have the Prima guide and as usual it's pretty useless except for the maps and the interviews because it doesn't list approval changes for judgements or any approval changes besides the story decisions and no War Table mission, only the perks.

Anyways, they (the authors) list a total of 58 mosaic pieces according to their maps, there is no mosaic piece in the story quest maps. But 5 x 12 (5 mosaics each 12 tiles) is 60. Dunno where the other two should be/are. I have 55 out of 60 and I am very close to giving up.

So let me get the facts from the Comic Con presentation:

- the Mako is very sleek and moveable and a comment hints at it being able to jump and hover (probably via upgrade?) - definite future

- I would love to see how it handles Eletania (my worst world - I had to be collected by Joker three times)

- there is a pipe or something in the front of the Mako, perhaps the searchlights - the concept art is not visible in full detail; it also could be a port for a weapon or a thruster

- Shepard is not an essential character - for me, that means she's/he's possibly in there somewhere, or there is some reference to what she/he did (if not, that's okay, too)

- exploration is important - Dark Space (?), the area behind the Perseus Veil and the Terminus Systems all are unexplored (or uncharted)

- the N7 program still exists

It's most likely that the game will be set in a time where Mass Effect 3 is the past.

I quit the trailer after the first question because the reaction of the woman who asked was a bit embarassing. After the Mako it should have been clear that we are not talking about First Contact or anything pre-Catalyst. The M35 Mako was bulky, the new Mako is not. Or if the Mako only was bulky because of the engine, I would love to see the Grizzly, the Hammerhead and the Kodiak in Frostbite engine. The Joke with Vega and the Grizzy wouldn't fit anymore if the Grizzly was less bulky.

Anything important after that first question? Should I watch the presentation to the end?

No, I'm not superficial. Only afraid that they screw up the game. And afraid that the questions basically are the same.

After having watched the first two episodes of the new Sailor Moon Crystal I have to say that I like it as much as I did before. It's even more compelling when I watch the original series at the same time. - The original series is broadcastes in Germany at the moment. - Perhaps because the original is dubbed in German, while Crystal is available with fan subs. (I've always prefered the original Japanese voices.) I also prefer the manga because in the anime it's always the same structure. Demon tries to steal souls/brainwash souls/whatever, SM challenges the demon, SM gets in danger, SM cries, Tuxedo Kamen/another Guardian interrupts the demon, SM defeats it. The manga is firmer and I had hoped for the new anime to stay more true (truer?) to the manga than the original series did. But after two episodes, anything still is possible.

Have you watched it yet? How do you like it?

I already pre-ordered the regular edition and this will be all. Unless I win some money in the next months, I won't buy an additional Digital Deluxe edition. That's EA's loss there. I am not even thankful that there is a PC version of the IE anymore simply because anyone in a big city can really rub it in now but mainly because ebay will have a lot of fun. And prices will be worse than what they were for some lithographs (in the USA).

And worst: till now not a single person has said why the PC IE is an in-store-pre-order only when all console IE are not. (It really fits here that UBI said that the PC version of Watch Dogs only contributes 10% to the total units sold. PC versions simply aren't worth the effort anymore. Thank you.)

Anyways, I will put a female mage right under Cullen's nose. I wanted to do that since he was confirmed for DA:I.

Oh, come on, give them some rest. They will be reminded of this often enough in future world cups. Or every time Brazil faces Germany again - the next Confed Cup maybe?

Aw, my most favourite enemy (and my most favourite neighbour) didn't make it to the finals.

Well, that's even better than I hoped. I was afraid of an all-European final, to be honest.

The game vs. Argentina: booooooooooooooring. So far I have watched every single late game to the very end. But after 20 minutes into the second half I went to sleep because the game made me so awfully tired. Yes, if nothing really happens the defense is good; and the forward attempts usually were stopped by some defenders as it should be but... I had expected more. I didn't expect a 0-0 after regular time, more like a 1-1 or 2-2.

Germany vs. Argentina - chance to become another classic if played right. I hope for a win, of course. And good luck to Brazil.

I am kinda sorry for Brazil, that is for the team and for the sad fans. Not for the audience that was booing and leaving the stadium half-time. Too much emotional pressure for the Brazilian team, too much emotional stress, maybe too much dependence on players like Thiago Silva and Neymar Jr. The coach had completely given up minutes before the end when Brazil still had opportunities to improve the result. The team had given up - maybe because of the audience?

But please, be brave. Remember: the German team lost in 2006 at home, and more importantly lost against the team that later would become world champion. In the match for the third place, the German team won. And it was celebrated like the team made 1st place. The rules of attraction in a world cup at home are way different.

Stand up and fight (fair)! And be happy again.

I am very happy that the German team will have the chance to become world champion. The semi-final was unbelievable. Like some match from outer space. But I loved it. (German fan of the German team ^.^ )

They (German DA FB) say, it was a decision based on a technical problem. They either had the option to not offer an IE for PC at all or to limit it to store orders. That's not my idea of fun. My next store is 120 km away and I will not ask someone to buy a very expensive game for me.

Every f****** console (no offense here) has an IE. PC has not? Because of copy protection or something else? I want to know more about this problem so that I am not angry anymore.

Some news on the German Dragon Age 3 Inquisitor's Edition:

... can only be pre-ordered in our local stores. Please proceed to our store locator.

And that's about it for me. No stores close to me. I also cannot/will not ask my dad to drive me 120 km to the next store. It's also not an option to ask a friend to buy a game for 160 Euros and ship it to you. You simply don't do that for a game. Must seem like a very elusive problem compared to the situation in a wide-spreaded country like the US or Canada, but atm I so totally pissed. They f***** up everything. Do a pre-order only edition if you don't want to ship unknown numbers to various stores, but not THIS.

Standard edition so that I have a disc.

What's it like in the US/Canada? Also only limited to store orders?

Jeez... Freddie Prinze Jr. wore a Mass Effect Renegade tee in his voice-over trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition. (This isn't a spoiler, is it?) His character needs some serious spanking. How can you wear a Mass Effect tee while working on Dragon Age? Blasphemy! He should have worn a Qunari tee.

Not my cup of tea. Do you like it?
