For the past two DA games, my first playthrough has always been a rogue. Always. Just a skillset that generally appeals to me. Following playthroughs then go to warrior next, then mage.

 

So, I'd been figuring I'd go into DA:I the same way: rogue for first playthrough.

 

But man. Watching the nice, higher-quality E3 demo with the dragon battle... it's got me reconsidering. I was in love with the close-up intensity and the amazing amount of detail and realism that was present when Mike took over The Iron Bull to fight up close and personal. I'm in love with everything about these dragons, from the redesign to the sounds to the scripting actions.

 

While I'm aware rogues can likely run up and attack as well, I'm imagining it may not work so well health-wise this game since they've said there's no more heal spell/health poultice-spamming (which, admittedly, is how I used to roll my rogues and basically make them like warriors :P ). Which has me actually leaning towards warrior now for my first playthrough... because, MAN, that was just intense and awesome. I don't wanna be long-range for those kinds of battles first time through! :D

 

Anyone else wavering on first playthrough plans, be it race, gender, class, party composition, etc?

I have shared this before on twitter and probably here, but I ****** love our dragons.

 

That is all.

You know, after watching the demo I am starting to have doubt my intent on keeping tradition of always being a Mage first/main playthrough. The PC and Vivenne looked pretty weak in the demo, especially in comparison to Iron Bull and Sera who were doing over 1,000+ dmg points.

 

Read nothing into the numbers you saw.  Combat balance is still happening now and I know some of the abilities were tweaked for the demo just to help pace the fight.
