Hey guys, I've seen a fair bit of speculation in this thread about what Gaider was referring to in that "scene we took out because the ladies on the writing staff pointed out how it came off" post a while back, so thought I'd post his followup here in case anyone doesn't follow him on tumblr: http://dgaider.tumbl...pment-follow-up

 

I know responses like this are exactly why they don't like to talk about cut / changed plots, and I'm sure the change was for the better / there was some larger issue that made them change the structure of that mission, but damn, minus the seduction part I'd have loved if CotJ had gone that way. "Fade / possession quest with legitimate chance of confusing the player IRL" has been on my wishlist since DAO.

Um, don't you still have to do the endless, repetitive push buttons to keep hitting in combat? I've never played with a controller (well, not since I was much younger playing Pong on an Atari .) I'm perfectly comfortable with WASDX movements, I've been doing that in games for many years. It's having to push a key (or button) repeatedly that's the worse (I've remapped some of the keys that are an awkward stretch but used repeatedly). And having to literally stand on loot to loot it, sigh. And having to hold something down to run at all.

You are correct, but actually pressing the same buttons don't really bother me. I don't even notice until you know I end up jumping off a cliff for trying to get some elfroot...again stupid...jump...button.

 

Yeah, the only problem is that the controller makes it hard to manage tactical combat. But I generally play in Casual mode anyways so then that's fine. I bumped it up to Normal for my dual-dagger rogue because the DPS she puts out is just uber OP...and I haven't even gotten her Assassin spec yet. 

The Nightmare difficulty calls to you....

The good thing about Skyrim is that you can mod it to buggery and completely change the whole game if you want, that in itself creates and encourages 1000's of hours of replayability and roleplaying.

 

Yep, I recently counted 82 plugins in my Nexus Mod Manager... 

 

They are all high-rez textures, lighting, weather and immersion...like lore-friendly armors and weapons and more realistic clutter, bottles, books etc. The single best mod I could never live without is the fauna overhaul. The only game play I've modded is enhanced companions, marriages, and making mobs more difficult. 

[MelissaGT]

Ooo, you're going Assassin? Me too. So much fun dealing that much damage! 

 

YESH!

 

I think it's cool that the combat animations changed when she switched to double-bladed daggers. She's like a fracking whirling dervish in combat.

OMG, apropos of the PC controls and something I complained about earlier today, how there are no tips when mousing over the ability buttons to remind you what they do...

"With a single move, you make it clear that you have no idea what you're doing." This is my life.

 

But really, no tool tips on PC? What the..?!

Well, there you go then. I can't believe he explained, but I'm glad he did!

It says the name of the ability, but nothing else. And given that I have the memory of large gauge sieve, the names aren't all that helpful.

Perhaps the Emerald Graves will be of more use in future DLC/Expansion regarding a certain someone... or I hope so, anyway.

 

I don't feel like the Emerald Graves is done...not yet at least. I mean with you-know-who and the fact that elven history is so rich there...if there is any place to expand upon it would be there.

 

 

Oh yes I would love if the Emerald Graves was expanded on with quests involving he-who-must-not-be-named....

 

 

 

 

 

wait wrong fandom....

LOL Oh, I forgot the second half!

Wow. Gosh, (the Leliana bit aside) I kinda wish they'd kept the part of the storyline where the Inquisitor thinks he/she is returning to the Skyhold and everyone is behaving kinda weirdly... I would've been intrigued to see if I would've realised that something didn't feel right or not.

Agree, this is something more like what I was expecting based on the leaked art book stuff. Huh. And much more psychologically affecting than what we got (I didn't find the obviously fake envy!characters that spooky, since it was just the demon talking).

Hey, would you mind sending me a PM of your favorite mods?? What I have so far are all the "sexy" versions of cities and towns, weather mod, grass/trees mod, ofc Brynjolf mod, and skin and hair mods to make NPCs pretty. Though it doesn't affect the major NPCs sadly. Oh I also have convenient horses.

AGREED! That would had been so damn confusing and just weird as hell! I mean imagine if you just walked into the war room and found everyone just smiling at you and then almost laughing like someone who is on some laughing gas...I would had definitely pulled a "I should go" line from Shepard.

[Tishina]

No, you hold down right trigger to auto-attack...much nice! And you can run/walk depending on how much pressure you put into the left analog stick. Again, much nice!

Interesting. I may have to look at one because I'm really not thrilled with the hand and arm pain this is causing. Thanks!

[Queen Rowan]

 I see what you did there

 

Ladies and gentlemen shut down the forums I've figured it out!!

Same! I love all that psychological stuff. Admittedly, I found Envy!Cullen to be a total badass, LOL!

 

Oh man, imagine popping in on Cullen to find him trying to seduce you and despite being in a relationship with him something doesn't feel quite right with his behaviour. Or calling in on Sera who isn't behaving quite like her normal crazy self etc... I wonder if I would've picked up on it?

And as you gradually realise something not right the environment could've changed to become weirder (tables on the ceiling and stuff like that).

Yes, that's also a problem for someone like me; I don't spend massive amounts of time memorizing all the details of every ability. I like DAs games, but not that much

And OMG, that's hilarious!

Just to check, are you holding R down or pressing multiple times?  Cause you can just hold it down and you continue to attack. 

[riverbanks]

Is there a specific order in which these are are supposed to go, I know they can be done in any order, but I mean based on the level of enemies.

 
This is what the guide says about levels:
 

Spoiler

Haven
Side Quests: Levels 1-4

The Hinterlands
Side Quests: Levels 4-12+

Val Royeaux
Side Quests: Levels 4-6

The Fallow Mire
Side Quests: Levels 8-15

Storm Coast
Side Quests: Levels 7-15+

Forbidden Oasis
Side Quests: Levels 8-20

Skyhold
Side Quests: Levels 10-12

Crestwood
Side Quests: Levels 10-13+

The Western Approach
Side Quests: Levels 10-14+

The Exalted Plains
Side Quests: Levels 10-16

Emerald Graves
Side Quests: Levels 14-20

Emprise du Lion
Side Quests: Levels 16-22

The Hissing Wastes
Side Quests: Levels 19-23

 

Though recommended level also depends on the combination of class/difficulty you're playing. On Easy/Normal you'll only die if you go up against enemies seriously over your level. And even then, you still can cheese fights with enemies way overlevelled depending on your class. On Hard, you should generally be at least the same level as your enemies. On Nightmare, you need to be at the very very least the same level, and depending on which type of enemy in specific, or whether you're a meleer or ranger, you should be at least over their level.

[Tishina]

I haven't been using R at all, I find it awkward. I'm using the mouse button.

Will do! I'm still trying to get out of work...it would help if I stopped playing around on the forums! 

 

I will say that mine are all lore-friendly...no battle-bikinis or anything. Though I do use a gorgeous female body mod that gives a more realistic musculature and skin tone with scars and everything!

You've yet to use the mod that turns Skyrim into a tropical paradise then?
