Bioware doesn't seem to want to admit that the other playable races are bugged. Still trying to insist that the elven males AREN'T recycling human animations when they clearly are (and thus are prone to locked elbows and glitchy joints). "It's just that particular armor/arms combo hur dur."

There is one qunari armor set. Warrior only. Dunno where it is though.

That said, I really would've preferred if they had left the qunari out if they were going to half-ass them. The horns look great... the hair... not so much... Then there is the fact that the qunari male is so grossly out of proportion it is sickening to see. And he clips through everything because nothing is made that accommodates his insanely wide neck. Even the biege pjs he clips out of...

Then again, they barely got the elves working. And half the time they end up with mangled animations because they're using the human (I assume) animations on a 3d model that is too small for them. Poor elves all suffer from locked elbows and twisted fingers half the time.

^^ What lucky said. The materials in chest piece override the colors and materials you use anywhere else. But the pants never change.

Not all weapons accept upgrades. Many low level weapons wont be upgradable. A question to cover all bases you are going to the modify weapon station to put the upgrades on correct? You can't equip them in your inventory menu.

 

The schematics for dual daggers and their grips state "dual" so you have normal dagger schematics fyi.

But all daggers are for dual wielding... so that is frustrating.

I had been using fraps for my screenshots but for some reason after the latest patch, Fraps stopped working in the game, can't take screenshots anymore so been using the built in on that DA I uses (can sometimes cause the screen to freeze for a second but its png quality so its not too bad)

Fraps should be working post-patch and hot fix. Update Fraps?

Changing the materials of your armor affects the undershirt, why doesn't the leggings change too? I am trying to rock my Shoot Me Now Whites and the beige leggings are bumming me out.

There are actually several presets that the game chose based off your skintone and the preset you chose.

I made a FAQ here.

Did we not test any of the male Inquisitor options past the human? Because the elves are horribly out of proportion and BROKEN. The qunari, again, out of proportion with hands so comically large they can't actually hold anything.

So, because I don't want to do a male human (first run was a female human), I try out the dwarves and I discover these gems in the CC. Beards with holes. Beards with beards so you can beard while you beard. Strange and hideous breaks in the mesh that are just... nauseating.

And this is on ULTRA settings.

Hey everyone,

 

The hotfix for Patch 2 on PC is now live. Thanks for all your patience on this, we appreciate it.

Patch halts downloading 1/5 of the way through... SIGH

Yeah...I have a zillion elven artifacts and no dice on the quest for me. ;(

Does he have to be in the party for them to count toward it, maybe?

More importantly, the DA2 qunari had realistic body proportions for beings that size. *weeps for the male Qunari inquisitor*

Yeah, nice to see that "custom animations for the races" thing from one of the Sprint Review Days made it into the game.

*Stares intently at her qunari who doesn't actually physically hold his mage staff*

Considering that having too many unread codex entries can cause party banter not to fire... hmmm a Mark All Read button would be great.

I miss it.

I don't know.  My elf pulls off the casual outfit quite regally.  I haven't tried it with any other race or sex, but for now I really like my default wardrobe.

 

Now, the formal attire for the ball, that did my character no favors at all.  With her hair and freckles, she looked like a tomato wearing a yellow sash.  Leliana couldn't pull it off, either; the flared shoulders made her head look itty-bitty.

Oh gosh, I hated the formal wear on my Inquisitor. She rocked the taupe though. I am just sad panda that alternating the fabric of my current armor doesn't affect it. I would have no problem with the gear if it looked like what my Inquisitor was actually wearing in the field. Hmmm, wearing hard core Dragon Scale... naaaaah, lemme climb into my bear hide!~

My issue is that the male qunari can't grip his staff (hur hur) properly... and his neck clips out of the back of his Skyhold pjs... really, bioware?

Also, I wish they had just kept the body type from DA2 for the qunari inquisitor. They were so proud of all the references they did for Bull but the qunari male? Uhhhh let's just size up the human mesh, that works, right?

Eira Trevelyan

Neve Lavellan

And my probably going to delete because the male elf mesh is horribad, Kyral Lavellan

Eira makes the biege look goooood.

I quickly loaded up the game and snapped a screencap, and this is what the elf looks like to start:

 

Spoiler

 

So (at least to me) not all elves are created with disjointed arms!  But it does seem like some combinations of armors can cause this.

That could be true, but it doesn't excuse that in the Skyhold pj's, the elf looks like a 12 year old boy. No shoulder depth whatsoever. (of course, the male qunari are broken in the Skyhold pjs too. Their necks don't even fit the mesh)

Additionally, I thought the races were all going to get custom animations? Because it seems like the elf if trying to use the human animations because they intermittently get locked elbows because their mesh is done bending but the animation is still calling for their arm to move. Most noticeably at the beginning when the elf gets lock-bo while pushing himself to his feet before the CC starts. Or when closing a rift. The humans get this nice, loose right arm while my elf has his arm locked uncomfortably the entire time.

this is my issue. the Warden from Origins and the Warden Commander from Awakening are two different characters if the Warden did ultimate sacrifice. I sure hope Tapestry is going to make room for that

 

does anyone know?

I am of the opinion that the Awakening section needs A LOT more tiles. I also, don't understand why Nathaniel isn't in that section.

After logging in and out I've noticed that there's a change in some tiles (Who killed the Archdemon, Leliana left instead of being alive and well etc) but I guess that's a known issue

 

Also a female warden who had an OGB would have been interesting. Talk about magic ritual.

And yet, I somehow can't convince the Keep that Loghain did the Ritual so that he lives AND killed the Archdemon so that my squishy mage Warden could run off into the Antivan sunset with Zevran.

I don't know if anyone else came across this problem, but because the tile about the Dark Ritual comes AFTER the What Happens to Alistair tile... the logic gimmick can be a bit stubborn about selecting any ending that has Alistair AND the Warden alive. This could be fixed by giving The Dark Ritual priority. Either putting it before Alistair's tile or perhaps putting it in the Hero section of the tapestry. Or perhaps having the logic detector ask about the Ritual before it suggests changing Alistair/Warden is Dead logic fix.

Like I said:

Ask any female fan whether or not they consider those options.
