Whoa, 28 hours just to get to Skyhold?
And yeah, I've heard 9-10 big areas.
It took me some 25 before I got there. Vapaa obviously had more patience, but heck, I only really touched the Hinterlands in that time. Now doing the Oasis.
Got a first encounter with many-legged bosh'tets. I think it's a Corrupted one. Where did he contract the f....ing taint in that place? Blackwall! Answers!
Edit: Well, that was fast. Sera's my girl, gave him an over a grand crit with Full Draw. That was about half his HP, just gone, right there on the spot, before the many-legs even knew we're there. A job well done by the Inquisition!
