45% of that 68% were female or gay gamers who wanted ot romance Dorian. Fact.

A big chunk of the pie is PC players and we got shafted so badly on the mechanics. /bitter

I still haven't been able to play anything but f!Lavellan. I can't even play my Trevelyan anymore. I hate the rogue gameplay so I end up switching to Solas and controlling him instead.

[Avejajed]

I don't play men in video games that I can play a woman on (personal) principal, but I was thinking of breaking my rule for Dorian.

[RynJ]

I'm sure at least a bitty chunk of that is women who play men. My canon Hawke was male, after all!

 

I've thought about what I'm going to do next game. Not sure if I want to continue switching between male and female characters. I know, I know, it's ridiculous to already be thinking about DA4! But I have. Seriously. I keep wondering who the next protagonist will be and guessing at which companion will be the returning one and what kinds of companions we might have next game. I wonder if we'll finally get a female qunari companion...and I hope Maevaris shows up, she'd be an awesome companion!

 

And I really, really hopety hope that I don't have to fight Solas. Or at least not kill him. I would have to write a strongly worded letter to BioWare. That would have a lot of choice words in it. Words that would be censored on here. Okay maybe I wouldn't send it but I would sure think about sending it.

I highly recommend him. 

...great, now I feel like a brothel madame.

But then again, us evil console players don't get awesome screen shots or the ability to get mods. We also get **** on pretty consistently as being lowly casuals. You know how many times I'm considered less of a "gamer" because I choose go game on xbox?

Just sayin.

I do love Cassandra. I love when I flirt with her and she gets all grouchy/blushy about it.

This is what I did. I keep taking breaks from my male Trevelyan but he was created purely so I could romance Dorian.

 

I hate how he turned out though CC tricks that work for female characters doesn't translate 100% to males.

I won't belabor it since it's off topic, but I don't think people who haven't experienced it understand how the terrible controls make the game very difficult to play. I'll be honest, the only thing that saves this game for me is Solavellan. It's testimony to how much I like Solas and the elven lore development that I'm still playing at all. It pretty much rules out playing anything else though, because I just can't put up with the tedium for a playthrough I only sort of enjoy. Also we don't get mods for this one, and screenshots are just as easy and just as pretty on the new consoles. This game will never have the legs that DAO does. I do still hope for good DLC to round out the experience.

To randomly jump back a few pages, I'd like to retroactively clarify that all images of Solas I've used for the top page have been taken from the Dragon Age Wiki Solas page.

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Solas

I don't want to be one of those accidental wiki thieves.

[RynJ]

Just wanted to share this fic because it kind of depressed me. Which isn't rare for a Solas-related thing to do but I really like this and it's wonderfully written! It's Solas and Cole (not romantic).

You know what annoys me about this game second only to the hideous hairstyles?

My girls always have terrible posture.

Ugh. Stand up straight. Sit like a lady. Don't slouch!

[electricfish]

Ok. So I don't want to make this into a huge debate, but I'm honestly curious about what people don't like about the PC controls. I'm ok with 99% of the default, and have only tweaked a few of keybinds. Is it the movement of the character itself that is imprecise with the controls, or something more related to how the hotkeys mesh with each other when you're trying to fight 4 bears and a Mabari at once?

I kind of feel like I'm in a minority whenever people talk about hating the controls for DAI, or really any other Bioware game. People never seem to expand on the reason other than "it's awful." :/

I just hurted myself for no reason playing the break up part like 5 times with different decisions cause I had to record it.. and

I use HD eye mod and I just gotta say.. this part just.. my heart was ripped out to see this expression on his face.. decided to share it:

I actually usually buy the game for pc as well as xbox, and there really isn't any way to get screen shots on the Xbox one. And you don't have mods yet, but you will. I have faith in computer people to break into anything.

In any case Im not saying you have it great, I know you dont. I'm simply saying console players get a fair share of abuse in response to something that isn't at all our fault.



Hopefully they fix your issues soon. When I play, I'll play with a controller. Pc controls are always clunky to me.

They were awkward and atrocious - I have nothing to add.  I literally tried - within 5 min. I was like - 'welp this was clearly built with a gamepad in mind'.  I was hoping for similar controls like in DA:O and DA2 - click to run - more hotkeys.  I really could only play the game and enjoy it once I plugged in an x-box controller.  This is fine.  I play a lot of games on PC with the gamepad and it's fine - like 'most amazing action game ever 'shadow of mordor is UNPLAYABLE on PC without the controller.

 

Though I do understand people prefer to use the keyboard so I wish BW would do more to fix this.

I can't help it guys Solas and eggs are now one thing in my mind and can never be separated no matter how tenuous the link may be

I'm not as enamored with DA:I as I was with DA:O - that game came out of nowhere and just swept me off my feet with everything it did.  I loved the story, the quests, the characters.   I like DA:I and will definitely buy expansions/DLCs.  It's just easy to sink into.  Kind of like taking a long bath, or sitting in a big pile of blankets on a weekend watching tv.  It requires little to no thought.  It's not really emotionally taxing - which is fine.  I can get swept up in the romance - which is what I believe you were saying - the Solavellan thing is really keeping me wanting more.  And you're probably right.  I would probably also not care  much about the game if that wasn't in there.  And again, I will likely need some good DLC to round this baby out in order to have the desire to revisit it again in a few years.

We're more than likely in the minority.  I have not had any issues either.  I play a lot of MMOs and other PC games that use similar configurations.  It felt fine to me.  I don't know if it's because I play with one of those gaming mice for MMOs and that's what makes the difference.  I just chalk it up to different play styles.  I haven't been much of a console gamer for years now, so playing on a controller doesn't appeal to me.  I haven't changed any of the key bindings.  But yeah I don't want a debate either.  Just wanted to say you're not alone.  

 

Those that hate the configuration for PC I hope they give you some options that make the game better for you.

but my pop culture is not particularly strong.

 

edit:that's how I'm portraying my solas x lavellan fanart. I rather not impose my own character and would prefer to use a default.

[ZerebusPrime]

Bah.  I'm a male gamer.  I burned through five male inquisitors.  Only beat the game with one of those, only really spent real time with two.  Now playing a female Lavellan for PLOT! points.  Given the throwaway nature of an Inquisitor character, I don't take these statistics seriously.  Show me hours played as male or female and I'll give it more attention.
