well ... after having met her ... i can officially say that she is pretty much the single most awesome,coolest and interesting character in the entire dragon age series. 

 

the only massive problem i have is that i can't romance her with a male ... i would have romanced her and just took her and her alone as a party member and we would have kicked ass ... no more of those other boring whoevers ... since who remembers anyone else's name after you've met sera ? 

 

Another one for the stockpile I see. We are currently amassing an armament of Seranites to climb inside missiles and spread the love across all nations of the BSN. Glad you could join us recruit, now climb up into this here missile. *points to a giant nuclear warhead*

I saw this. Thanks for posting it here! I might try it if the hotfix is delayed for a few weeks but if it's only a day or so away I might just wait. Nice to know they've spotted the problem though!

If it helps, I can verify that the workaround does work, at least on AMD cards.  Also, for those that use AMD, the 14.12 version of the graphic drivers is up on amd's website.  That also helped with the micro-stuttering that I kept having as well.   ;)

glad to be aboard ... though, you know ... she's mine. mine i tell you. all mine ... my precious ... *rubs his hands with unrestrained passion in his eyes*

 

edit: now, don't get me wrong ... leliana is still pretty high up there in the list ... but i will admit that i don't quite like what they've done with her. to me, this cold hearted attitude, just doesn't seem to fit her at all. not the leliana i got to know in da:o. i actually think, though this is just a theory, they forcefully changed her character for whatever reasons, but this was not the way she would have ... naturally evolved if left in peace. granted i don't know the lore all that well so may very well be wrong ...

You dare steal her for yourself! I hereby summon the Gods of hell to pull you down into the dark, fiery abyss!

 

On a side note, your edit. Basically, she has spent at least a decade forcefully destroying any opposition or attempt on The Divine. She was chosen as The Left Hand because 1) her connection to Justinia was more of a motherly bond and 2) she is very good at deception and using her cunning. A force to be reckoned with in the right hands. A decade of this is going to turn you into a cold-hearted person and with Justinia's death, well, it was the straw that broke the camels back. Some of her light still comes through though which is evident if you push her in the right direction right from the get go so she's still the same woman, just a little darker around the edges.

@lightningpoodle well ... that explains some things. guess i need to keep up with the lore better. though i've never been able to, in any game, no matter how much i loved it. ( my memory fits somewhere in between bad to ridiculously crappy :( )

eh, it's a game ... i was able to go through school with this memory ... i will be able to handle not remembering stuff in a game. 

 

though it does make it kinda hard to talk about them with other people. like i will be all 'oh man, how i love this game and this and that' but when i actually have to say anything else about it .. i'm stuck cause i barely remember the name of the main character most of the times. i will remember the basic plot ... though that's not always the case ... but any specifics or date or names - they're forever gone a minute after i learn them :)) ... 

alas ... 'tis my curse to carry in this wretched world where knowledge is so much fun and so abundant ... thank god that bioware chose a simple name for this lovely character ... i can at least remember her name so that's something :P

Looking forward to the DLC's tho, hopefully we'll get some customization stuff for Skyhold, need a new outfit bad.

 

Yeah...PJs are not flattering. Beige jammies even less so. And they look stupid on a Dalish who has most of her face covered by the vallaslin. Wtb something more....savage ;)  Also, moar interior choices.   Oh yeah, good morning Sera thread :)

Launch the nukes!!! *maniacal laugh!*

She's the divine thedas deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Thanks, that's much more obvious. Looks like the differences aren't extreme out of animations, so that's probably why I barely noticed anything. Was too scared of Nightmare difficulty yesterday. Also tired.

I know, right. Is it WRONG to look forward to being milked for more money...?

Because holy ****, I WOULDN'T EVEN MIND.

 

Workaround posted. Hotfix coming. Shock.

Just to report that on quick inspection the workaround had fixed the shadows for me. Don't know about skin textures as I never noticed that.

I must admit i grown on Sera after some gameplayes. 

Before game was released, i thought she will be quite grim person, and more determined for struggle, and she was not so appealing to me

IT turned that she is completely crazy, prankish, colorful and somewhat witty person and child/childish. I know why most of people hate her. But for me my Quiz and i look on her from perspective very similar to Blackwall's one. Oddly enough, my first gameplay, where i planned to  run with Cassandra, Solas and Cole (as they were my top characters) , i ended with running quite oftenly with Sera as well, and she was one of three first real companion friends i made in the gameplay.

Now I see it, Uncle. Thanks. Sera's clothes aren't as detailed without workaround.

 

Anyway, typing in the workaround code brought back memories. It's oddly familiar after having coded in C# before.

Even though I suspect the game's in C++, as they always told us that's a superior thing.

I can't see the difference tbh. Granted, I know nothing about video game things that are unrelated to stabbing.

Shadows, hair shininess, clothing detail and, for this cinematic scene, depth of field simulation are all affected if you look closely. All from one borked shader setting.

Well there is that, but also that exact scene is currently replicable "on demand" so it seemed like a good reference point.

So... apologies if this has been covered already -- and in a thread of 1622 pages, I'm sure it has :P -- but I'm kinda curious about people's opinions on this. I'm at a point now where I can lock in a relationship with Sera when I talk to her. As far as game progress goes, I haven't been to the Exalted Plains, Emprise de Lion, or the Emerald Graves yet. As far as the main plot goes, I haven't begun dealing with the whole grey warden thing...

Spoiler
 

 

Without giving any spoilers (or not too many if possible) please, should I lock in the relationship now? I've worked pretty hard to get Sera to like my little elf mage, and I don't want to mess things up now, heh.
