I'm glad all fans can play the game, to me the worst were meaningless fetch quests and side missions, and I don't think that has anything to do with engine power.

 

A bit offtopic, but does anyone else think that this looks totally like an elven goddess in Arlathan? (minus pointy ears) Just imagine Solas in a similarly amazing attire... (sorry for image size)

I'm a very happy console gamer.

 

The only thing that bugs me about the DAI graphics are the deformed arms and how unnaturally they are attached to the bodies.

 

It's unfortunate and I feel the pain - I split from my long time partner so my expenses have essentially doubled since I now can't split rent/food etc.

 

O_O

No.

I had Inquisition for 360 and found it a real pain in the backside to play, it was very buggy and you could tell there wasn't much effort put into it. I got it again when I bought my xbox one and it was much better.

 

They've probably improved the 360 version since then, but still, it rustled my jimmies.

The only problem I have on my 360 is sometimes I have to take the game out and back in like 5 or more times before the game will load. No bugs other than Dorian's poor mustache keeps going up his nose. I guess I just got a good copy.

SIIIHHAAAA - Aside from my increased expenses for rent - the breakup was fairly amicable and chill. I'm pretty good actually!!

 

I love console games.  I do prefer my PC for the RTS/Strategy/Building games that consoles don't have AND I like watching movies on the 2nd monitor.  I do enjoy my WiiU and would like a PS4 when I've saved some money - I technically could buy it now but I just don't want anything that's come out for it, so it would be kind of a wast of 400 bucks.  

 

In the next year when some of the exclusives come out and the library's been made more robust.

BTW, I know a lot of you have your Lavellans on the avatar, but I would love to see what all your Lavellans look like, unless that would be considered too off topic?

 

So many pretty Lavellans have already been posted! Here are mine. I don't know if there as pretty as the ones already posted though.

Grrr, trying to reply and I have lost my post like four times now because I cannot figure out how to get my screenshots uploaded from my PC. No idea what I am doing wrong.

 

Anyway, I liked the Fade in all the games, but my laptop does not, it likes to CTD, usually during the boss fight. Don't mind the Deep Roads, just my Warden and I felt like there were no "good" options in the Paragon of Her Kind quest line. You either got the reforming tyrant who was possibly involved with regicide or you got the hardcore traditionalist, who may have been more honorable, but would make living in Orzammar even more oppressive for the Castless. The whole Dwarven system of governance really left a bad taste in my Warden's mouth, she was glad to get out of there once the whole King issue was settled. Though Broodmother, creepy and disturbing, my Warden had nightmares for weeks, especially since she had that whole convo with Morrigan about what was happening on the battlefield after the loss at Ostagar.

 

And PC all the way, for the mods. Skyrim's modding community ruined me for straight out of the box gameplay.

Kind of late to the party on this one, but this is my canon Inquisitor, Cari. Same one in my avatar! She's my Knight Enchanter mage, romancing Solas of course. And she's a nice gal meant to look younger than her actual 31 years.

The Deep Roads were one of my favorite parts of Origins. My favorite part, actually. :D

All throughout the game the darkspawn are played up as the ultimate threat, and the fall of dwarven civilization is a big theme in both of their origins. And here you are, trudging through the Deep Roads, the place you'll eventually march off to your death, with darkspawn pouring out of the walls and bringing their heavy hitters, with the only living people being the companions at your back, and three smiths in varying degrees of insanity or inhumanity. It's the first time in the game that you really (and literally) stare the Blight in the face. It's claustrophobic and dark and a grind, but it's an area that should feel that way so it's the only time I won't complain about neverending enemies. Besides the endgame, nothing feels quite as triumphant as making it back to Orzammar with a crown in hand. I'm really excited to see the Deep Roads (maybe not the darkspawn if they keep this resdesign going  :unsure: ) in future Dragon Age titles, with the new art design. Creators bless Bioware's environmental design folk, they always make me happy.  ^_^

But while I enjoyed it, apparently my Warden found it so disagreeable he went off to cure the Calling just so he'd never have to go back.  :D

I loved the Deep Roads quest. What an uncomfortable and dark quest - Branka was a monster.  The whole place is so screwed up and horrifying.  LOVED IT.  I love that BW had the guts to go "there".  It's difficult to be horrifying but still be sensitive about really terrible subject matter.   I do recall there was an interview a few years ago talking about why they really dont' do that anymore - they wanted to make the game more accessible - like LOTR and less like GoT.  Which is too bad.  The world has felt safer and more sterile since then. I never felt any risk to me or my squadmates that we were going to die.  I want that to be there.  Or I want it to be made uncomfortable by the things they do and still realize that I may have to make some screwed up decision myself just to keep things moving.

See, I play on PC, so the absent scars make no sense to me. Do you need a certain level of settings? I'm only on an (admittedly, new, and medium-level) laptop, so I can only play DA:I at low-medium quality. No ultra mesh hair for me D:

Ooh! Someone who agrees :D
 
I found the Deep Roads harrowing the first time I played through them. Really felt scared and repulsed by everything I'd seen, from Broodmothers to Hespith's poetry to the endless, endless onslaught of Darkspawn. Like it's a very long, developed part of the game, but I imagine you're travelling several miles to get to Branka. You feel the whole weight of the jounery by its length and endless mooks, in a weird way.
 
I'd love to go back given the graphical improvements.

I am on a laptop too, hardly a new one at that, and I run DAI mostly on low-medium, like you do, but one day I got so fed up with that hideous shiny hair that I went and changed my meshes to Ultra in desperation... and to my surprise, the game's performance wasn't affected at all! It still ran smoothly. So you should try it, might work for you too ^_^

According to the crazies here - now that gay marriage is legal - you can now marry anything you want in this country including a video game character.  So in the immortal of words of Pee-Wee Herman, "IF YOU LIKE HIM SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU JUST MARRY HIM?!"

I should qualify more. I enjoyed the quests and it is creepy and horrifying in a good story perspective way, but I also tend to identify and intensely live in my OC's head. It's how I ended up writing fics with them, they just would not stop pestering me until I started writing down their stories. Because of this, the Paragon of Her Kind quest line a slog. It gives great context to the cost of the Blight that you don't see if you are not rolling a dwarf. And I agree with your points about it, but oh, my Warden really wanted to wash her hands of the whole place. I always save that area for last, whenever I replay my Cousland, because I know it's going to be harrowing for the both of us.

 

The intensity with which I roleplay my OCs is also why I typically do not do multiple OC playthroughs and have a hard time deviating from my initial decisions about quests and war table missions.  What's strange is I can do multiple playthrough of TES games, maybe it is because I tend make OCs who would go off and be the Dragonborn/leader of the Theives Guild or member of the Companions. Or ones who ignore the main quest entirely in favor of leading the Assassin's Guild. Maybe it is the fact that Dragon Age forces your OC to be at the center of the story more than the TES games do?
