If he already has high str (and so I assume not using lethality), Shadow of the Empire would be your best choice.

Wow what? Trust is something what is not easily earned. Although it's not players choice to lose that trust it certainly puts one loyalty to test when only you know the truth. But I understand, most people don't like her and I can't help that. She is my canon-romance for my Shepard and imo their love story is deeply emotional which starts fully in ME3. Then you realize she acts the way she does, because Shapard died and she was LOST without him. You slowly build that trust back they had in ME1 and then she apologize for her mistrust and becomes totally different person, the one Shepard fell in love with.

Considering your viewpoint on her career, losing her squad. You can add Shepard(Ruthless) and James to that list too. And the latter is asked to the N7 program, so it's not about losses but right decisions at the right time. She becoming a Spectre? I understand, hard times for the galaxy. If it was decided by all council members who are we to judge that. She definitely wants to prove her worth, but she ain't no gold digger or fame hunter. Everything she have accomplished is earned by hard work and servitude. If you keep building that trust with her, you don't have to shoot her but she joins your side and kills Udina herself, so you know where her loyalties lie.

And about lack of reciprocation. This is a video game after all not a relationship simulator. You can easily say that about every other romance option.

If you have never romanced her I can understand your skewed view about her. If you have romanced her, then it's plainly your opinion of the matter.

This makes no mention of ME1, would it still work if the ME2 save that you need was imported from 1?

This makes no mention of ME1, would it still work if the ME2 save that you need was imported from 1?

Should work just fine. The face code between an ME1-to-ME2 imported character and a custom made ME2 character is different, but it doesn't affect the face itself.

Hallo,wie oben schon geschrieben stürzt Mass Effect nach dem man eine beliebige Taste drücken soll ab. Es erscheint ,, Mass Effect 2 funktioniert nicht mehr" und dann muss ich das Programm schließen.

Das Spiel ist geupdated

Falls es wichtig ist mein System:

Hoi!

 

Das kann an vielem liegen.

 

- game als Admin starten

- sind alle Treiber aktuell?

- ggf. das game im Kompabilitätsmodus starten.

 

Win 10 is nicht so gamer-freundlich <_<

There are many ppl from the DA threads over on http://bsn.boards.net you'll recognise many of them.

 

Yeah, I've settled in nicely at the BSN boards. Lots of familiar faces, but most importantly it's where the Twitter threads have moved to.

I've never come across any rings at the Temple. There's a Lifeward Amulet, though I find those to be largely useless.

Yeah i got ALL the coins.. The amulet and even the weapon. And all the stuff shades drop. ive literally played the start of the game on a few characters and i take about 2 hours 30mins before i even reach the breach lol. i took so long that stuff started to respawn. i think he might be lieing to me.

Now how would you go full melee with no special warrior talents?  Just get the most massive armor you can find and put the most powerful runes on arcane sword?  That, to me, seems like a very second-rate warrior.  The way I've played AW falls somewhere between your ii. and iii.  Casting is always the mage's primary weapon/primary purpose.  However, having armor and a sword mean the AW doesn't get crushed quickly if the enemy gets within melee distance.  The AW can defend him/herself in melee against lower level enemies and hold off stronger enemies until the tank comes to the rescue.  I always give this to Wynne since making your healer more survivable seems like a good idea.
 
One of the few things Inquisition actually improves is AW which they now call Knight Enchanter.  Even this isn't full melee though...

To be fair, there are only a couple W&S activated Talents that I like: Shield Bash and Pummel. These and Shield Wall, plus the Passives to improve them are what makes this a superior Warrior.

However, the AW can improve his default standing with spell buffs, runes, Heraldry, etc. In my own experience, I prefer not to use DW, as even a full set of Hale runes does not help much, though Dweomer runes can be useful. But a decent shield and arms set can make melee something quite unpleasant for enemies.

You can actually build them to be competent front-liners. Dual-wield daggers, get enough magic to hit 75 spellpower (where flaming weapons caps), and rest in dex. It won't quite match the dps of a DW warrior or rogue, but it's not actually too far behind - it's somewhere around 70% the dps of a backstabbing rogue. While being indestructible and buffing your party with haste and flaming weapons + debuffing enemies with miasma.

Josephine has a romance scene in Trespasser. Of course, she has a number of romance scenes in the base game as well.

 

If what you mean is a sex scene, then no, there are no new sex scenes in Trespasser. For any of the characters.

I really dislike Origin. Not friendly with mods. It partly explains why I didn't even bother to finish DA II. And it deters me from buying Inquisition. I know I won't play it more than a couple times without mods.

 

I feel that EA made a poor business choice in not placing Inquisition on Steam with Workshop integration etc

 

But perhaps after some time they will

 

Are there many mods for Inquisition?

SherryGold

I don't think many people attempted to make mods for Inquisition after they pulled out from Steam and made people play through Origin. I bought DA II disk for that precise reason and couldn't play the game. When I contacted the company, they made me install origin to play DA II. Mods didn't work with the game. Very unhappy customer here. I forgive Bioware because DA Origins was the best game I ever bought and I have three copies, one steam version and two disks so that I could play the game from different computers. I don't mind spending money for a good game, but I will not pay for a game that doesn't allow mods, which can enrich game experience.

I kinda forget but Tevinter would crush Qunari in their first war cos Tevinter would not have Exalted MArshes of south Thedas and so Tevinter would  have a full strength as their forces would not be focused on south then invasion was become

Gervaise

Take it back a stage to where the Dalish had nearly conquered Val Royeaux.   If that had succeeded there would be no Orlesian Chantry and the faith would simply be one among many.    Other countries would not have to constantly resist aggression from the Orlesian Empire.    The Dalish would likely become more relaxed about their human neighbours over time and allow merchants and other visitors into their capital. 

 

Circles would be free to govern themselves.    The Seekers/Templar Order would keep the peace much as they did under the Inquisition.  

 

Ferelden would quickly revert to the animism of their ancestors, whilst still probably acknowledging the Maker as a creator god.   Their Dalish neighbours would continue to provide a buffer against aggression from the west.  

 

Starkhaven may have been successfully taken over by the Imperium since the Marches states would have been too fragmented to mount a cohesive attack.   However, it is possible that free mages working for the Marcher states would at least prevent the spread of the Imperium from Starkhaven.  

 

Without the constant pressure from Orlais, Nevarra may never have expanded beyond a city state.

 

There would be no Crows since they were originally founded by a group of Chantry clerics.

 

Rivain would have been wholly run by their wise women.  

 

Tevinter would be stronger without having to appease the southern Chantry.  Whether this would result in the Altus taking back control quicker is difficult to say.   Without the resentment against the southern Chantry and their restrictions on mages, may be the Soporati would still have seats in the Magisterium.   Tevinter would have been stronger going into the 4th Blight as they would not have to have endured 70 years of Exalted Marches against them.   May be they would have been more helpful during the Blight as a result, the Wardens wouldn't have had to resort to drastic action concerning the griffons and so they would not have gone extinct.  

 

I'm not sure how not having a wide spread political Chantry would affect the Qunari wars.    I'm guessing the other nations would still unite against them since they would not want the Qun in control.   However, the Qun might be able to hold Starkhaven without the actions of the Orlesian Chevalier. 

 

There would be no Conclave for the Inquisitor to attend.   Corypheus would likely just set off his orb randomly, may be in the Dales.   He would enter the Fade and who knows what damage he would do then.   Probably accidentally free the Evanuris.    Seven angry elf gods would sweep across Thedas, kick Corypheus' a**, kick Solas' a**, kick Flemeth's a**, take back all their structures and other possessions from Tevinter, nuke the Qunari and re-establish their elven empire.   Everybody else would be slaves.  

 

Well the world would look different!

I hope that's up to the player.

 

There's a possibility BioWare will decide to force a "colonialism-is-bad" narrative on us.

i believe a majority of gamers would want to be the Hero/Good Guy. A "colonialism-is-bad" narrative would not be smart on Bioware's part, imo. Especially is they are trying to revitalize the IP.

They could do that by having the protagonist fight against colonialism.

But I don't think they should decide that for us. Much like with Deus Ex Mankind Divided, people are complaining that the devs are leaving it to the player to decide questions like "Is racism bad?" But they absolutely should be leaving that to the player.

I don't want to be forced to play "the Hero/Good Guy" of I don't get to define what it means to be good and/or heroic.

Lol, I've only just started (well, just reached Skyhold) with your Rift Mage Mine build - which I'm enjoying very much, btw.

Definitely looking forward to the return of blood magic! Blood Mage has been my favorite specialization since DAO.

 

Maybe since we are going to Tevinter we could see return of Spirit Warrior specialization from Awakening. And Tevinter version of Templar.

It seem the Inquisitor improved their usage of the well of sorrow over the years they are perfectly able to understand what the elves are saying.

Solas does not use any mind control to stop an hostile Inquisitor which seem to imply Solas has no control over it it is still in the hands of Mythal who is able to decide when and where the voices will come.

He doesn't need to use mind control (which I think he would find distasteful) because he can just use the anchor. That doesn't prove anything. 

kevL

dive deeper into the toolset ( toolset autosave = OFF )

sounds like it would be an enriching experience

but updating a save in one fell swoop is largely infeasible, too many variables to check; the best you could do, to continue your save, is fix issues as they're noticed individually -- and if assistance is occasionally required you'll need a different forum, as noted by Kantr.

either Nexus or the Vault, i suppose.

EphemeralBeing

Okay, I started over and my game is no longer pausing. So, yeah, something in that pack of "fixes" caused at least the one error. I'm just going to bite the bullet and start over, I guess. I really want to import a character to MotB.

 

Is there somewhere that would be good to ask about mods that actually FIX the game rather than breaking it? I honestly have never looked at either the Nexus or Vault forums. I assume one is better than the other?

Not remembering exactly but am thinking Lvl 6 for first quest complete, then Lvl 10 for Ch2 quest.  Hench level always stay 2 levls behind toon and it hench lvl that matter for quest.

 

As long as u not remove hench with radial (Mrzork already tell this), keep hench token in inventory and keep reward in inventory, OC work as supposed.  Use convo to have hench leave for til u want them back then no problum. Can tell them to leave as many time as u want.

 

Know that only last hench in ur party wen Ch3 end go to Ch4 so keep one hired u want wen finish main quest else you ned solo last chapter.

Google cache is not illegal since the company offer the function to block it for all the pages it is the choice of the owner of those pages to allow google to create a cache or not.

But you're not the page owner here. You never had the ability to stop Google from caching this content.

I say again, do you send similar complaints to Google?

ActionPlayAnimation uses NWN1 constants that aren't entirely mapped to NWN2 animations, and there are animations available for NWN2 that ActionPlayAnimation can't access.  It is preferred to use PlayCustomAnimation, and pick from the list of animations here.  However, PlayCustomAnimation returns a boolean for no reason I've ever found useful, and so you need to make a wrapper for it if you want to delay it.  I think you can make an action version like so:

void ActionPlayCustomAnimation(oObject, sAnimationName, nLooping, fSpeed)
{
     ActionDoCommand(PlayCustomAnimation(oObject, sAnimationName, nLooping, fSpeed));
}

Bioware  don't do much with optional characters(those who can be not encountered or killed) especially if they are incredibly minor npc.
So i don't understand why they bother to put choices like:
 
-The warden sold the lyrium from Orzammar or not?
-Hawke kiled the dragon or not ...
 
These kind of choices shouldn't be in the Keep they serve only as quests

Sometimes those minor NPCs show up, like the daughter of that werewolf lady Danyla from DAO, who showed up in DA2.

u nevar kno

They were meant to throw people off as to what choices would be reflected in the game.

When I don't play for a year or two and get out of practice, it's very hard for me.

I think you're just conditioned for video gaming reflexes and all that as a hardcore gamer. If you step away for a while it'll become fresh again. Too much play, bro.

UpUpAway

This thread is about insanity being way too easy if you're an above average shooter. Nobody wants BioWare to try to create an impossible game mode because we'd just end up resorting to gimmicks to beat it. If they did it to Mass Effect 3 for example, we'd just exploit Nova for damage immunity.

 

Saying video games "are not really about skill" is just silly as we have competitive tournaments for many PvP games. If it were all about luck, then any random idiot could win a League of Legends tournament rather than the top tier being basically all Koreans.

 

Skill isn't just limited to athletic ability only. Even a game like Mass Effect relies on hand-eye coordination and reflexes for being able to quickly and accurately shoot enemies, which is a skill a person can be better or worse at. That's why on Overwatch my accuracy with the sniper hero is in the top 5% on the Americas server, because I'm more skilled at sniping than most players playing the game.

 

Although I will agree a game like Mass Effect ought to be played for fun above everything else, I do also find overcoming challenges in video games with personal skill and the ability to build a solid character to be fun. That's why I would like insanity to be more challenging that it has been, because it hasn't provided me with that challenge that I want out of the game(especially in ME3).

 

If insanity proves too hard for people, there is always the option to tone down the difficulty.

 

Come on - Video games are not about actual physical skill... the only physical skill regardless of the game involved is "button pushing" (reflexes); therefore, the challenge has to be largely mental - i.e. strategic (which has a great impact on the "eye" part of eye/hand coordination).  Otherwise, it's mostly about the relative "skill level" of the charactet (not the player) vs. the enemy... which also has very little to do with the player's skill.  For example, at the beginning of ME1, all players basically could not hold an SR still but after assigning enough points, all players could... very little of it had to do with how well the player themselves can manipulate the control stick.  Any other games with skill trees I've played also operate on improving the "programmed stats" in the same way - making the camera steadier, the mathematics of force stronger, etc. as the player inserted points into those skills.  The character gets better even though the player does not (... and building that character is a mental challenge, not a physical one).

 

So, to make a level more challenging, without making the enemies into bullet sponges, I find it more fun if the designers add in some strategic elements to it... something that makes the player have to think their way through the level.  In my experience, games with stealth components do this better than those with just straight up combat.

 

As for the line that "this thread is about insanity so don't mention easy" - I AM TALKING ABOUT A WAY TO IMPROVE INSANITY... If you leave a way for players to opt out of combat (i.e. a combat-less mode), you can make the overall combat more difficult and, as a result, insanity more difficulty as the top end of that combat.  Also, for some players who complain about ME insanity not being hard enough... I wonder, have they turned off the squad powers completely? or turned of the aim assist? or tried playing through with only the Level 1 weapons and armors? or don't assign the level skill points at all (then the game would be all about your own fabulous reflexes, wouldn't it?)  There are lots of things players can also do to tune up the difficulty beyond the basic settings in the game.

 

So now, let's move on to why "programmed luck" is not such a bad thing.  Any level that is difficult initially that is repeated over and over again gets to feel very prredictable and very easy.  In Mass Effect, the spawns are really extremely predictable - virtually the same in every playthrough regardless of difficulty.  IMO, making spawns more random would help keep combat fresh and less predictable... meaning that players would have to genuinely react to a changing situation (as opposed to being able to predict the entire battle ahead of time).

 

... and I still wouldn't mind a "permadeath" level (above the current insanity) level.  I don't think it's that hard to program it into a game to make the game wipe the save if a "critical mission failure" occurs... and that's the only change that would be needed above and beyond the normal insanity mode.  UHC is popular in Minecraft... why not in other games?

It would be pretty awesome if this Mass Effect Remaster was on the new Unreal engine and not the old one. A step further would be to port everything to Frostbite but that would take forever. One can dream for a true remaster and instead of a simple higher resolution with slightly better textures right?

They have the default one which is everyone dead who can be dead. A dalish elf rogue was the warden.

 

It's also what they use for stories. Which is a bit depressing.

That isn't "cannon" those are default imports if you have never played the game. So if you did not play DA:0 it would consider the HoF as a Dalish rogue.

They're nobles in a Medieval European Fantasy world. Noble families from all over the world inbred all the time (to maintain their "pure noble blood"). Didn't you know that?

I wonder that myself, the problem here is females inherit from females, not males...so yes inbreeding make sense here. Meaning Female Aeducan inherit from mother, not father...unlike any normal nobility.

1) would he die in the throne room battle

2) once quizxy disapears would solas have been a more powerful foe against

How poweful is solas?

So would Red Lyrium have any effect on a Darkspawn whatsoever? Suppose one had plates of it placed in it's flesh, like Corypheus' dragon?

 

It seems strange to see them as essentially immune.

thats1evildude

Well, I'd see it as a mixed blessing. On one hand, they can't use red lyrium, but on the other, it also doesn't affect them negatively.

You can smack them all day with red lyrium weapons and it has no more effect than a regular weapon would.

-DA2 was rushed. Yes, most of us will agree on that. Doesn't mean it was solely EA's decision. Do you think they're just going to be evil overlords and tell their subordinates hit this deadline or you're going to be sorry? No, probably more along the lines of Bioware and EA MUTUALLY agreed to this since maybe Bioware wanted to explore and experiment with more self-contained stories. If you could do it well and fast easy way to make money for a business? They would probably agree it didn't work as intended which is why they changed their development in DAI.

 

No game developer in their right mind would be happy to produce a game in as little time as possible as an experiment. Game designers want to take as much time as possible to work on their games, and part of the role of the publisher is to keep production time to a reasonable amount and prevent developers from designing a game indefinitely.

 

And what reason do you have why EA, the parent company, would not make business decisions without the explicit consent of their subsidiary divisions? Bioware could make a case as to why they want more development time, but if EA says hit the deadline, no extensions, Bioware isn't going to go on strike until their demands are met. They're going to meet the deadline and possibly reduce game quality to meet it.
