No friendly fire.

[Uccio]

Nope.

[Ibn_Shisha]

Possibly, if I'm playing a mage and my party gets uppity.

It seems to have been revealed that friendly fire will be a toggle option on any difficulty. If this is the case, will you guys be playing with friendly fire turned on?

 

I’m planning my first playthrough to be on Hard, but I’m ambivalent about whether to go for Friendly Fire. In theory I’d like to turn it on as it feels more “honest”, and that’s how I always played Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights, but because the AI is really good at charging into the blast radius of spells in Dragon Age I’m not so keen on it.

 

I’m not playing on PC so micromanaging my team to make sure they stay away from a mob I’m about to fireball seems like it’ll be a real pain.

 

What are you guys doing?

 

Well, that depends from how friendly fire will work in DA:I.

 

I'm ok with it if it's going to be like in DA:O - when you just had to just watch out when cast your spells. However, if it's going to be like in DA 2 where my two handed warrioress was killing team mates instead of enemies - I'll pass.

I don't want Fenris situations.

 

Playing with fenris on nightmare was a pain. I avoided him most of the time.

[Ogillardetta]

No I don't trust AIs to make smart choices with my health or not to run into the firestorm etc.....

I found Fenris a pain to be around even without friendly fire...

The game, like DA2, simply doesn't look to be designed with friendly fire in mind. The health/damage asymmetry discrepancies, and how every class appears to have aoe in many abilities, means it would be too tedious to manage FF. So no, absolutely not.

[ManOfSteel]

No. It's just not an aspect of the game that interests me. I'll play it on nightmare at some point but even then, nope.

[polemists02]

At first I will have it on to test it out but if it gets to ridiculous with the AI I will turn it off. On a console so micro management will be a challenge anyway.

[Magdalena11]

Not on my first playthrough.  I'll eventually try it, because it is tons of fun, once I know where all the really tough enemies are...

[The Grinning Shark]

No no no no no. 

 

At least not for my first romp through the game. Perhaps the second or third. 

[herkles]

nah, I don't like FF. So I will keep it off. 

[DalishRanger]

Hell to the naw. I'm glad it's there for people who want realism, but I have enough trouble dividing my attention on the battlefield; not worrying about friendly fire is one detail I appreciate not having to concern myself over if I don't want to, especially when I'm playing mages.

Turning friendly on forces strategy, which I like. You can't just rub your hands and boom boom and giggle. Most people are more casual players

than they are strat nuts though and I was actually pretty surprised at the amount of people stating they will play on easy or normal (newage easy mode). Obviously I don't expect nightmare mode from everyone... hard, to me at least, is the real "normal" mode for most games and specialist difficulty settings (ironman mode in Enemy Unknown, nightmare mode/friendly fire in DA:I) are for seasoning to taste.

 

Saying that I don't think I'll use it simply because I don't think the game is designed around it (few are) and so it'll be more annoying than challenging. I'd also be more inclined to use it if it effected enemies as well.

 

Well, you could also be like me: Old "hardcore" player turned half-casual that got really tired of the harder-is-more-fun-and-challenging shenanigans.

 

I was there in the 90's with the Eye of the Beholder games and similar, and Arena and Daggerfall, and Baldur's Gate, etc. Getting older I just don't have the patience nor see the fun in games like Dark Souls that just come off as overdone on the "challenging" aspect.

My plan is to do my first playthrough on hard with NO Friendly Fire, then the second will be on hard WITH Friendly Fire.

[Qunari Ardat-Yakshi]

This is how friendly fire works for me as a mage.  I say:  Yea, I'm gonna do this..then I forget friendly fire is on and go....aoe firball and my party dies....so then I turn it off.

[Shya]

Stays off for me.

[Boss Fog]

If it affects the enemies in a similar fashion, then yes.  

 

I hated in DA2 how friendly fire for enemies was more like two people tickling each other; but when they tickled you or the party it was a massive tickle of life destroying death.

[Aurok]

Hard with FF On to start with, but I don't foresee that I'll be very AOE heavy.

 

It'd be nice if the ability descriptions clarified whether or not they can hit your party though - that stuff seems very vague in some cases.

Pretty much this. I hate it when in nightmare the enemies casted fireball and their allies were barely hurt, meanwhile I casted a fireball and my party got burned bad.

 

So at first, it will be off.

[fluxcage]

First DAO playthrough, no friendly fire.

 

Second DAO playthrough, friendly fire on. I liked it a lot more that way, and it wasn't much more difficult. Had to pay more attention to being in control, and felt more powerful because I was in control.

 

The first time I cast Storm of the Century and wiped my whole party--a moment of pure awesome!

 

Will probably chicken out in DAI and have it off to start.

[Spooks94]

Oh my, if I turned friendly fire on everyone die.  Often and painfully.  I'm terrible at watching where everyone's running. lol  

[Makkah876]

Nope, maybe this time I'll actually attempt a nightmare playthrough.

[Kalas Magnus]

On.

 

Games are too easy otherwise.
