I'd recommend patching for these two reasons.  1.  They separated mesh quality from shader quality in settings.  So now you can adjust them individually and get excellent results.  2.  They struck a deal with the Lords of Mathematics and did a lot of tweaks to make the game run a lot smoother.  I run my game on a big home built power PC and I noticed a huge difference post patch.  Not a hitch or glitch or stutter to be seen.  Like buttah.  

I just throw that out there if you are debating with yourself.


I'm up to patch 2, before they removed the vendor exploit for crafting mats. I suppose I will update when Cheat Engine get updated as I think I read that parts of it are broken now? I figure I'll have to eventually anyway for DLC.

I logged in last night to finish the story.

 

Then I discovered the new stuff in the Undercroft and spent the next hour tinting my party's clothing so they all looked less stupid.

I could be wrong, but I think Dorian is shooting dirty looks at my back.  Or he's plotting.   Time to find where he hid those scarves.

It is like he is all the Power Rangers at once. Only, they are manlier, and have killer mustaches.

The vipers are nice but I hate the boots that come with.  They don't conform to the original model shape of his calf muscles.  They remove them and make it look like he has bird legs.

I guess I feel blessed that apart from a bugged mosaic tile in Hinterlands, my play throughs have been bug free.  I didn't play DAO so not sure what the difference is with the tac system.  I'm not a heavy tac user since the DAI's Companion AI is beefier than most.  Since I have their behaviors set to follow the Tank, they rarely need me because they finish most fights before my Rogue IQ gets many hits in hehe.  It's a simple case of everyone chasing the tank, including me :)  They fight while I loot.  Because <rogue>

 

But when I do use the tac I haven't had any problems with it since they applied a fix.

 

I haven't tried it since the fixes. The tac cam I mean. I'll have to see how it performs now.

 

The boots I like :) Went in game earlier and gave him some. I had the heavier version because +% attack... oh well, he can lose some stats for looks :D

 

Oh and the companions' iq, while I agree it's pretty good, and that even without me ever changing the follow/etc behaviours, there are those  :blink: moments, that are so bad it's actually hilarious. Like the Hinterlands dragon fight. Where I actually thought "hey, I'll make the effort to use tactics and not just solo-kill dragon with KE", but then the companions started screaming at me for help, while standing (I repeat, STANDING... haha) in the fire pools... and of course dying...

 

Eh it's a minor thing really, but it's so bad lol. Also the barrier spam... "Omg! Look! Ferocious squirrel attacking! BARRIER!" And my inq is  -_- Then we get mauled by 3 bears (1 ran to us, 1 warped in from another dimension and the 3rd I dunno, I suppose some bears are secret mage bears and cast clone or something)... and of course barrier is on cd... xD

That is hilarious.  I have never had that happen but wish I did just for the laughs.

I never use tactics for dragons except to occasionally reposition ranged fighters in tighter to avoid being flamed or iced.  I reset the number of potions they can use and turn the Tank loose.  But sadly, my fights always go down with no bloopers and outtakes :(  Ok once, I had a good one where Dorian initiated Fade-Step at a Demon without checking the distance between it and the cliff behind.  Sent himself off the cliff to his death.  I just had a vague impression of arms outflung, arcing down out of sight.

His necromancy ghost ran back up the cliff, stuttered to a stop as his timer ran out and flopped down dead.  Just as we finished the Demon.

At that point the real Dorian came running up the cliff, stuttered to a stop and just stood there because the fight was over. hehe 

In the behaviors I have Barrier set to only be used when I say so.  Which is pretty much never.  Spam problem solved.

Yes. Now I can use any color. ANY color. This means that I can not get away from the tinting table. He looks good in everything. Especially with those white gloves... He is doing it on purpose. I know he is laughing at me... I like blue... and white, and dark green, and.. and...

So they updated the dragon age keep with DAI decisions and it seems you have to unlock decisions in game to be able to choose them in the keep.... I checked the Dorian options and i'm happy with what i unlocked.

Also it seems i unlocked both Dorian staying and Dorian leaving to Tevinter, no idea with what characters because for what he said it seemed he decided to stay with both my female and my male characters. And i wonder what are the hidden options.

Which is probably why the devs didn't put Dorian in black leather lol.  Soooo Freddie!

Hmmm. This is Dorian in light armor:

And this is Dorian in heavy armor:

Spoiler

 

Light armor is heavy + one more layer... I think he is doing something wrong.

 

Or maybe I should stop playing with the armor tinting :lol: .

I hear this Freddie thing all the time but I've never seen the resemblance myself and no one has satisfactorily explained why they see a resemblance.  Dorian is extremely attractive, angular, chiseled.  Freddie was an excellent singer and performer but.. nope, nope, nope.  I have never found Freddie attractive even back in '77 when I first saw him in concert.  Narrow eyed, lantern jawed with over-prominent, jutting teeth is how I remember him.  But none of that mattered because he knew how to put on a show. hehe.
 

Now I'm going to go review Dorian screenies (or Ramon :D) before I turn in for the night.  Wipe away any other potential visuals. hahaha

Honestly, people say Dorian looks like anyone who has dark hair and a mustache.

I think of Freddie as a consummate showman, and Dorians mage-ing style is pretty showy--quite athletic and the swirling robes etc.  I have heard that off-stage Freddie was kind of shy and not the big voice that he was when performing, and we all know that Dorian has a very squishy sweet center, so I see more than just the 'stache. Maybe I'm biased bc I love Queen . . . It's ok! :D

 

In other news, this was posted . . . here

I think I can literally picture them in marble, bc Bernini would have done a fine job with the musculature, don't you agree??

Thanks for that DA Keep stuff. I'm a beta tester but haven't been able to look at anything because I haven't patched my game, and the only way I will be able to fill in choices is if I play while logged in.

I agree, i never saw the resemblance and i don't really find Freddie attractive either. I think they don't even have similar face structure lol. And Dorian is a lot more attractive to me.

That's so true  :lol: Many times i see people put pictures of some randoms with moustaches saying they look like Dorian and i'm like -> :mellow: .I usually don't see any resemblance lol.

But there's agreement that Rafa Rech does right? I mean, when I image search him (um, for a friend), "Dorian Pavus" is one of the return phrases.  Along with "glitter" lololol.

Oh, so you have to unlock the achievements in the game for the tiles to show up? So that's it.

 

Then mine's completely bugged out. I know I definitely unlocked a Solas and Dorian romance, but none of the romance tiles have become available. I've also completed his personal quest and befriended him, but the "Friends with Dorian" tile hasn't unlocked. Also, he said he would stick around for my Inquisitor, but the only tile that unlocked was "Dorian returned to Tevinter."

 

Dorian, you liar! I thought what we had was special!

Also, I read there's a bug with some of the playthroughs, if you weren't connected during some point. I know my first playthrough is completely missing, and parts of others seem buggy. They said to load up the playthrough that is missing, make sure you're logged in, and then open up the keep. That playthrough should eventually load as your "current" playthrough, and the tiles should show up. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't confirm or deny.

Thanks for the heads up on Keep :) It's telling I think that my only romance unlocked is Dorian :D

 

Btw, how do you change the name of a world state? I can't seem to find that setting :(

 

Edit: Nvm found how to change the name :P

 

Edit 2: Also, for anyone who didn't notice, make sure to enter ALL "hidden" categories and look around in every nook and cranny for options, because that's how it was for me. Almost all my choices were not the first one in their category so I didn't initially select them. I realised this when I went through all of the "visible" ones only to have no romance choices at all, and freak out about it being possibly bugged :P
