Usually I always play a mage (I admit I derive a deep satisfaction from raining fire down on my enemies!) but for Inquisition I felt that I wanted to try something different. Because I always thought that Legolas was one of the coolest fighters in Lord of the Rings (and I already had experienced playing a ranged character) I decided to play an archer. At first I really missed being flashy and fabulous, but in time I grew to love how much damage you could deal to a single target. With the Tempest specialization my archer became an unstoppable force of nature, and it also gave me a tiny piece of magic back.  ;)  ^_^

 

I do feel, however, that the archer through all DA games has been a bit overlooked. In previous games the game-play for archers wasn't really that good, and during crucial cinematics for all games archers tend to revert back to dual wielding daggers (i.e. the fight with Cory's dragon). I also hope the next time around the archers get some kind of close ranged weapon, because I felt silly firing of my arrows straight in the enemy's face.

I just saw that post, what the hell. Ok sure, even if you think that, and believe that seriously, if you want to actually convince someone of your point of view, you wouldn't be so horribly passive-aggressive and nasty about it on anon, c'mon. Someone needs to deal with their petty aggression in a productive way instead of pissing random people off.

People act like total babies on tumblr. I don't get it.

The sad thing is, a few days ago, that artist has received some anon hate after she mentioned wanting to draw some smut. I'm not sure why she's suddenly getting these weird anons all of a sudden.  :(

Umm...when downloading mods..I just put them in the Data folder, right?

I've been going through my old screenshots folder and I've stumbled upon this:
 

Spoiler


So after Trespasser, what second meaning can we discern in this? Is he saying the world for him changed because he saw her as a real person at that moment? But why would he? It was just her closing the rift, after all. If you ask him about it (option 1), he will say it's because you walked physically in the Fade and lived. Still doesn't make much sense...

Actually, when downloading mods, you put them somewhere where you'll remember to find them.

 

Like, make a folder that says MODS in your Documents area. Do you have the latest download of DAI ModManager? V1.59 I believe. After opening ModManager, ensure you have the correct directory path to Inquisition.exe as well as the right directory for your mods so the Manager can detect them.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is the patch. Always have the latest, which you can download by doing 'Check for Updates' or 'Repair Game' in Origin. Use THAT newly downloaded patch as a base for your mods. I recommend keeping the vanilla patch as a backup in case you wish to add more mods, do that by making a folder called 'Vanilla Patch 11' or whichever number it's at now and keep a clean copy of that there. Without that clean vanilla patch, you can't merge mods.

One more thing to keep in mind, after merging your patch, go to Updates in your Inquisition directory and delete the 'Patch' folder there. You'll see an extra patch folder with a different name. That one has your modded patch. Rename THAT folder to Patch.

Yeah, I just downloaded the tools suite which installed the newest mod manager. Thank you for all the info. :D

You're perfectly welcome :)

 

EDIT: Before I forget, if you check inside your newly modded and renamed patch folder, you'll see a little file which you can open with word pad or whatnot, open it with that with right-click and check to see if the patch version is at 11. If it's at 12 or higher, just rename the number to 11 and save it.

 

Sometimes save files are dependant on a certain patch number and won't run if it doesn't match, so after merging mods it's always good to check your little xml file and change it before playing the game.

For Fallout and Skyrim, sure.  For DAO and DA2 use the override folder.  For DAI use a folder in an easy to remember place called 'mods' and then merge using that.

You don't need to delete the vanilla patch folder.  The merged folder takes priority over it.  The game will use the 'patch_modmangermerge' file.  To make new mods just delete that merged patch and remerge using the vanilla patch.

Same here. I like rift mage the most, followed by necromancer, and I've never actually done a KE play through, but regardless for all my mages every battle is melee ahoy.

 

Rift Mage is so powerful with the right builds.  My nightmare playthrough was a Rift/Fire/Lightning mage.

People think that being on anon gives them the right to say whatever they like.  A lot of tumblr users are also pretty young and don't realise that Social Justice doesn't mean 'scream at people until they listen'.

I'd recommend trying it the other way.  You don't need to worry about renaming files or deleting the vanilla patch (my mods are already confusing enough since I have seperate folders for each race with three variations of patches within those).

Will do, then. Thanks for tip, mate :)

Art post again.

 

Cute Solavellan comic based on this prompt: Solas pinning Lavellan to the ground on accident

because he tried to protect her from a blast in battle with his body while pushing her out of the way.

Their noses touch. They haven’t kissed yet. He blushes. 

 

Vhenan'ara. (Solavellan)

 

Young Solas.

 

Solas sketch.

 

 

EDIT: Top Solas time!

All the talk of rogues makes me want to throw in my 2 cents. Mages FTW! (for me at least, love bringing doom and chaos :devil: ) but for the nightmare playthrough, OMG! Rogue tempest FTW! It was ubber pownage all over the place. used it for my first run through of Trespasser and I was cackling maniacally while everyone complained about difficulty....I was like "What difficulty? BEING TOO AWESOME??!!"

I don't know where to put my thought into, so I decided that Solas thread is good as any place so...(and maybe it was discussed hunderds of times)

This was bugging me for a while.
