Is there any word on patch 3?

You're adorable.

 

 

Wow!!! Congrats, man (or woman, elf  or dwarf or whatever adorable race you belong to) .  How did you craft that!?

 

And thanks for the compliment.  I always find myself too brutal or vitriolic in hindsight, in real life or on this forum.  So...I'm touched.

 

Some After Effects, a little ink and endless love for DA:O

 

You are welcome

Are we talking real world soon, or game developer soon?

[Jackal19851111]

I disagree on one point. I prefer Mage side--especially if you're more invested in the past games.

 

Agreed, I found the mage side better as well, it screwed with my head on my first run and I really enjoyed it, and it has a fun cameo if Alistair is King. However the templar side is good for a certain companion, who is weird as fk when you first meet him if you go the mage route - his intro is much better on the templar side.

 

If Alistair isn't king / isn't dead / killed Loghain, though... heh, you'll see, you'll have to try it

Actually I recommend a first world state with this, it adds alot of gravity to the scene I have in mind...

I'd pencil in march or late Feb.

Yes. My very first actually-completed-story game--mage girl, ended early, (hence my experience with what was shut down and my determination to try that framming sword and board girl, in which Alistair is King... despite the controls...[OMG, kill my fingers now] ) had that state.

Spoiler

I hated to see a grown dwarf cry...

Although, frankly--now I've ended a couple of games with both options taken--it ends up not mattering. Whoever lives "disappears on the way to Weisshaupt" anyhow--whether you keep or exile the... um... group involved. And if you keep the group, and finish certain War Table quests, you still virtually wipe them out. Both of them are doomed and/or DLC fodder. Again, choices don't really matter in this game. Sigh.

Also, if you make the choice that doesn't make the grown dorf cry, and keep the group, you should have had the option to make Ser Ruth the leader in her judgement. Seems like she'd make a reasonable one, if she can be told to get over her cowardice in her attempt to commit suicide by Inquisitor.

Honestly I won't be touching DAI again anytime soon.

 

One playthrough (120h + doing the different quests for Mages and Templars and reloading) was more than enough for me.  The second char (sword and board viking named Uthred, if anyone gets the reference, BW certainly pillaged said reference enough), I aborted after killing the group of Lvl 8 bandits barring the south of the hinterlands, on Nightmare, while having a coffee, at Lvl 4.

 

The sad truth is that I'm not even boasting.

 

I DL'ed Vampires Bloodlines with latest community patch: it's brilliant! Done with DAI...so, .................................who's crying?

I've been considering that one, except that I've been over Vampires since Buffy was a girl (first person who even mentions sparkling will get hammered with this image:)

I agree, choice in DAI do not matter one ioto, there comes a time not long into the game that you realise that idea was written out of the game very early on.

[Archerwarden]

It really is fascinating to watch this part of the reaction from the sidelines and discover just how important story and writing is to people. I decided long ago that no matter how bad the reviews might get, I was going to finish the game. I avoid spoilers (I even 'blah-blah'd' some lines from anariongr's post above) because I don't want to know any details.

And I still intend to finish the game, hopefully with a better m&kb scheme. But man, it is depressing reading some of these comments, especially when you guys talk about not having any desire to replay.

Brogan,
Much of the time while playing I'm shaking my head and saying nope never going to replay.. Then a little gem of quest like Varric's "Well, ****" comes along that's well written and engaging.. and I'm planning my next character. I don't know.

[Ashen Nedra]

Brilliant (pun intended? I dk anymore ).

 

White Wolf's World of Darkness is simply the best Vampire setting there is in all fiction, easily trumping Dracula, the New-Orleans lady whose name I can't recall (Edit: Anne Rice), Blade, anything, try it!

 

those are political themes done right...and it's old (20 years or something).

The quest that you track a tape, ending in the sewers still freaks me out. Masterpiece.

Brilliant was in reference to your gif, dear Bethgael.

 

Gameplay wise: complete freedom in a town (think GTA before its time), complete different gameplay for each vampire clan, different ethnicities, fast combat, magic, infiltration, stupendous and hilarious writing and voice-acting...

[Jackal19851111]

It's a gem, I played it AGES ago though so its just my nostalgia talking really. I'm not into the whole vampire things but the game really sucked me in despite its bugs (most likely fixed now if there have been community patches)

[Rizilliant]

Anyone missing that old "origins" style gameplay, Divinity:Original Sin was a very well done game! Less dark than Dragon Age, but great game, none the less

You're welcome.  Just realized that my poor joke was in reference to my mother tongue: 'brilliant' means sparkling in French.  Very tired tonight. time to go to bed. See you guys

The next patch is close. Once we have it locked we will have more details. Not locked yet. I realize this isn't a very satisfying answer

[Brogan]

Brogan, if you STILL really want to enjoy the game, after they fix the controls or before, my two cents without spoilers:

 

- Start with a shield and board warrior human or Qnari (most innovative gameplay) or a mage if you're into that ;

- on hard at first (ramp it up when you level, like in the TES series) without FF (the AI isn't sufficient to have fun with FF on imho);

- leave the ****** HINTERLANDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE;

- pick the Templars (you'll understand, best quest out of two);

- do the story missions as soon as you have enough power to do it (DAI is not an open world at all);

- do Crestwood, the Exalted Plains and the desert setting (best optional areas)

- don't craft till you need it (OP)

 

That's pretty much it.

 

noted.

 

 

I disagree on one point. I prefer Mage side--especially if you're more invested in the past games. [ETA: It also makes no blarging sense to do the Templar side as it was done, past-event/politically, story-wise, which I can't elaborate on without spoiling--

Spoiler

but let's just say that if you have an Alistair as King, the following War Table quest explains exactly my issue with it--and he doesn't go far enough in his missive, imo--because look at where the Templars are--and who you bring with you--without even consulting Ferelden's King/Queen first. I mean, geez. And it's internally inconsistent, because Josephine even points this exact issue out in the preamble to the mage side and why you can't take the Inquisition's armies to Redcliffe

This may bother Brogan, if he's as pedantic about story as I am].

That's one's genuinely a matter of preference, I think. It certainly has more story resonance if you're romancing either Cullen or Dorian. And... Cassandra, although that can go either way.

 

Expect more "in-head" RP than "In-game" RP and you'll be less disappointed.

Also, if you're doing a completist game (rather than a story game)--put off the second half of the story as long as you can. Finishing it shuts down many, many things (all companion quests, judgements, romances and in-house NPC interactions, for example, plus many of the War Table quests that involve... many of the choices you make at the Keep). After endgame, DA:I is basically only the fetch-and-carry stuff. I haven't bothered continuing once past that point, except in my sword-and-board completist occasionally because I'm still looking for a couple of mosaic pieces and I refuse to look it up.

From the twitter thread:

Not locked means you got a month maybe 6wks before they even talk about it. curious to see how many will wait that long for theoretical devine intervention to fix all our pc woes.

As opposed to what? Ransacking the devs houses?
