Doing #DAI Combat Reviews. I flatten 10-ft demons with Dorian & Bull combos left & right, but shout "NOPE" and run if I see 1 giant spider.
⚔ sebastianhanlon @hanlsp now
@Daniel_Kading inquisition doesn’t even have the Volkswagen-sized Das Spider that we had in DA2
Bad ass! Really liked his VA work as Vega. Now he is the Iron Bull! Cool.
Vega's back! Hell yeah! Dunno what to think about the voice yet, though. Have to see the Bull in action (and not that kind of action, you pervs!
).
And Traynor's back, too? As the voice of the fem!Quisitor, I see! Cool stuff!

Today is the first day of summer. That means fall is up next. Hmm... I feel like there's something coming this fall... #107MoreDays
@HulegaardBooks 107 left to 10/7? Sounds like a lucky day to pre-order :-)

Das Spider! In a fit of chuckles over that one.
From now on I'll send feedback on ability descriptions to the effect of "Forsooth, I know not what this does, Cam'ron."
You know I'll just throw that at @PatrickWeekes!

Which ones? Must be specific ones since it shows 10th of October for me and I'm not in the UK.
Has anyone asked if this game allows for farming? In the sense of going through areas and killing re-spawned enemies over and over until you level up past a certain areas difficulty?
If you kill everything, they won't come back because you've changed the ecosystem.
You can deplete resources, not sure how much enemies will respawn, or if they will at all. However they have mentioned an example that said that if you kill a bandit group in an area, a different group/enemy(?) will settle in its place, or something like that.
From what I understand, enemies will respawn, even if you completely deplete an area of hostiles. The "World Master" system can produce new factions in the case of humanoid groups, but for indiginous animals, the information I've heard (PAXE Panel 2014) is that the respawn rates for these critters is tied to the amount of that creature still alive in a given area. (Doesn't necessarily mean the entire zone), but even with total population depletion, they'll eventually start to come back, albeit much more slowly.
So yes, farming is an option, I even heard them mention on that very same panel that one of the largest long-term tasks in the game was balancing for an "Open Economy" which is a way of saying that the player can produce an endless supply of loot and cash (Within the bounds of the game rules, obviously you could exploit in DA:O).
[DRAGON AGE]: Varric is back! That's the good news, but what kind of trouble has he gotten himself into this time?
[MARY KIRBY]: Remember in Dragon Age II how Varric was being interrogated by Cassandra, who was working with Leliana and a large number of folks wearing eyeball symbols?
[DA]: Of course.
[MK]: That was the fledgling Inquisition. Divine Justinia V had questions, and Varric was the guy with all the answers.
[DA]: Ah, so his reputation preceded him. Do you think he's starting to regret that?
[MK]: Well, in Inquisition, he's still answering a lot of pointed questions. If he hadn't already figured this out at the start of his meeting with Cassandra, he's definitely finding out now that sometimes it's not so good to be the guy connected to every part of the story.
[DA]: After all that Varric has endured—being betrayed by his brother and interrogated by Cassandra spring to mind—are things finally starting to look up for the poor guy?
[MK]: In Inquisition, things are definitely worse for Varric in just about every possible way. He's hundreds of miles from home. Not a friend in sight. And the things that are happening around him are apocalyptic.
[DA]: Varric just can't seem to catch a break.
[MK]: Remember, this was the guy who found the Wounded Coast too far out of his comfort zone. Snark and wild stories are all that's going to get him through this ordeal.
[DA]: Varric's trademark charm is probably his most visible quality, but what would we see if we dug a little deeper?
[MK]: Thedas knows him primarily as a storyteller, but Varric is first and foremost extremely loyal. He tells stories to rewrite events he's lived through and make them less senseless, the people in them more inspirational, and to drag some meaning out of the mess that surrounds people he cares about. It doesn't always work. But at least he's turned Cassandra into a Hawke fan. That's something.
[DA]: He seems to have a way with words that keeps him out of unnecessary altercations.
[MK]: Varric would always prefer to talk his way out of trouble. He isn't as enthusiastic about leaping into battle as Cassandra or the Iron Bull. But he's completely confident in Bianca and her ability to get him out of any fight in one piece, and he's always willing to show off. He loves an audience, and he especially loves making everyone around him envious of Bianca.
[DA]: Since this is your second go-around as Varric's writer, is there anything that you're particularly pleased to have written for him?
[MK]: I got to write my favorite scene of the entire Dragon Age series this time. It may involve a game of Wicked Grace. I won't spoil it.
[DA]: Varric is one of the more popular characters among the Dragon Age community. He's a pretty easy guy to get along with, but how does he fare with his new travel companions inInquisition?
[MK]: Varric will at least try to get along with most people in the Inquisition. People who are not Cassandra, anyway.
[DA]: Oh?
[MK]: He's still kind of bitter about that whole "book-stabbing interrogation" incident.
Poor Varric .
I hope my pc can be BFF with him again , I mean my Inquisitor and him are going to bond over their dislike of Cassandra and sharp objects.
Oh and finger crossed we won't have to play Wicked grace. I don't understand most card games.

Varric profile.
And there was much rejoicing... Excuse me as I jump with joy... *flat tone*
The interview didn't contain anything we didn't know already. *sigh* I can only hope they'll do something new with him.
Hope they will reveal someone new soon.
I was never a big fan of Varric, so meh. I am happy though that so many people are happy that he returns. ( Does that make sense to you? For me, it doesn't. Meh, whateva.)
Dorian, next? Pretty please?
I'm so excited for Varric, he was one of my favorite characters. I *do* remember him expressing his displeasure at tromping along the Wounded Coast. Sounds like he's gonna be having a rough time, poor guy. ![]()

So with creatures wonder if itll be kinda like FF9 where if you kept a male and female frog around they'd spawn faster then if you took all of them. That's of course if they have male/female creatures
So now with Varric done, the only companions without an interview are 'Cole', Dorian, and Solas. And if they do advisers too then add Cullen, Leliana, and Scribbles to that list.
