I'm a disabled gamer. I've played about 29 hours (mostly sp). It's painful (literally) and exhausting to play. 1-2 hours a day once or twice a week with 10-15 minutes to rest now and then. I understand as my condition deteriorates I've lost the ability to play fighting games, most 3rd person and fps. It's sad to lose your mobility and having to go from active to mostly passive player. I use as much software and technical help as I can but it's infuriating when a game could be made inclusive and they don't. I don't think they didn't care, they probably didn't think about it. Now once you tell them about it and how it could be better it's in their hands to fix it. I always approve of Bioware caring for the LGBT collective but seeing them not caring the same way for disabled people is very unfair. I hope they understand how bad this is for us not only as gamers but as people. And on a sidenote it's a very bad PR move.

 

I've got a gamer friend who plays one-handed and another who's deaf.

 

Over the years with various games, I've seen a complete disregard or lack of support for disabled players- and it's simply unacceptable IMO. In development there should be a lot of "basic" questions asked regarding accessibility when it comes to a plan for UI and controls. It would appear that with the decision to dumb down interfaces and consolize the controls, the fundamentals have been completely overlooked. That said, I completely concur with the opinions of those who relate such as being just as important as glaring issues like CTD and others. For physically challenged players, it becomes obvious and difficult- and most frustrating.

 

Oh, and if you "question" just how difficult it is- try playing the game with just your left or right hand with an Xbox controller. Let's see how YOU fare.

Of course not, why would anyone on PC want to use their keyboard to game? Especially after you plug in a gamepad? Honestly, some people....

 

Jokes aside, no, you can't. In fact, the friend of my son's who I mentioned a loooooong way up the thread (who played on PC using her controller) has noted, loudly, on several occasions (cough) that she had to uninstall the game completely and reinstall in order to get the keyboard to work at all with the game again.

 

I refrained from saying that it was her own fault for giving in to the collective. So proud of myself. 

 

Others on the thread have also noted some difficulty re-initialising the KB&M even after unplugging the controller. In any case, once the gamepad's in there, it takes over, completely. There is no simultaneous KB&M and controller use.

 

FYI I had similar issues with having to unplug all USB devices to get the controller to actually initialize. If anyone ever gives you some BS or "pat answer" regarding it being linked to the peripherals ("It's your hardware or drivers!!!!!") just tell them how full of it they are. My controller worked just fine with every other game out there and I didn't have to completely disassemble my physical configuration to make it work.

 

In short, it's the game, not the hardware, not the drivers.

Why bend over backward for disabled gamers when you can just as easily gain acclaim for pandering to social justice buzzword fanatics? Seriously! Some groups have taken the spotlight away from others, and since these groups translate into dollars, they get chased like white whales. When disabled gamers have a voice as loud as, say, LGBT gamers, then you might see a change.

 

As both LGBT and (very) minimally disabled (I suffer from aggressive simulation sickness related to low FOV), I've seen it from both sides.

My personal belief is that there should exist solidarity even with those who may not be affected directly/indirectly. Those who would call themselves "friend" or "ally" to those who are, should be just as concerned- and throughout the years it seems the world has become more self-interested and less aware.

 

The reality is- you never know what could happen, and although you think you may have a planned grasp and control of everything, your "perfect" world could be "shattered" in moments with something you don't see or cannot preempt. A natural disaster could sweep away everything you own. You could lose your "stable" job and become homeless. One of your children could suddenly pass. Etc.

 

Make the most of every day- do what you can, when you can, for whoever you can. We're never promised a "tomorrow" and living only for what may never come is just as foolish an idea is never planning at all. If you see injustice... do what you can to make it right.

After Amelia's posts my kids told me it reminded them of a game called "Muddy Heights". Instead of taking the adult, professional route she decided to stick her @SS out over the ledge and aim feces like a rabid monkey at anyone who did not compliment Bioware Dev's superior testing ability. Comparing and excusing BW because NASA lets bugs through to release too. I just have to say, when NASA lets a bug through, ppl die. I am pretty sure that their families do not stand up and say, "Well it happens to the best of us so good job for trying! You are the best because other ppl out there let that sort of thing happen too."

 

Way to go Bioware, your non-PR employees generated negative xp in your customer base building skill.

I hate to say this Bioware but this game has ruined a series for me that I have loved since it's creation back in 2009. In fact I have both DA:O and DA:II both for PC and 360 because I love them both that much, despite each of their individual flaws. Dragon Age Inquisition on the other hand I can't even grind out a second playthrough because I am so mind numbingly bored and frustrated. 80 hours of walking around for a very weak 10 hours of story, a boring button mashing combat, an AI that runs around like chickens with their heads cut off, a tactical mode that even with proper height doesn't allow for direct control of your character or even to go through objects making it feel clunky and impossible to use and then a slew of bugs both at release and with every patch. That was what this game was to me and it kills me inside to say it but I'm just done. Sorry for the rant but after the half grand I've given you guys over the years for this series and Mass Effect I felt I had a right to complain a little.  Goodbye Bioware

They have analogic pads, which may actually suit very well into a semi controller setting,which is what this game was made for.

 

Nah, they're digital pads.

This could explain my current issue.. I played 210hours so far, 130 in my campaign, and decided to star a new one, with a controller.. Suddenly in just the 1st 30min prologue, i had mega problems i didnt before.. Everey cinematic freezes, and studders... Audios are breaking, studdering, and broken, even banter.. Panning my camera in 3rd person is even causing fps to drop to nothing..

 

I posted in 3 different threads to try and get some feedback, and in all i made sure i stated the ONLY change made, was plugging in the xbox360 controller... Hmm.. i KNEW it!

 

Edit: in fact, the 2nd issue, after forcing mself to skip the intial interrogation, was on the bridge with the butthead Chantry Roderick, or something.. It actually completely shut down my pc.. In 210hours, that hasnt happened, until now!

Unbeleivable!  I just replayed that save through the same prologue file again.. Only i unplugged the controller.. Would you like to hear the results?

 

Smooth as silk!  The goddamn controller made my game run so bad, it wasnt playable.. I urge anyone using the controller, to try playing without!

i will be toxic again but i have a new bug. i can not start a new game. after creating my character he is stuck in an empty fade stage. there is nothing to interact but the good thing is you can walk (thanks to patch 3) till to haven and beyond.  

 

Try here. Scroll down to "Possible Fixes". They are aware of the bug but there is no ETA on a fix that I know of.

Has anyone noticed how many Qunari are in DA:I? Two I think! The one you make and Iron Bull. Well thought out story I think. (not)

I am happy to be corrected if wrong.

No, you are correct. There is exactly 2 Qunari if you play one yourself.  Maybe there will be more Qunari in a DLC?   Probably not.

[Hazegurl]

I think there is a Qunari on the battlements near Cullen's office. But they rotate the soldiers in that spot so it's easy to miss him..or her.

Beat me to it.

I spend a lot of time in or near Cullen's office, though, so I've seen a fair few rotations.

Hot flush's for the Lirium tweaker perhaps?

[rothe321]

So, Ive come to the conclusion if you use schematics then basically any item you find other than rings/amulets/belts are just sell items.  Seems like they didnt play test it to make it balanced idk just seems like it is out of place.. thoughts???

In almost any game with a crafting system you can craft better items than you can find. Otherwise, why go to the effort of crafting?

 

That said, until you start getting the T3 mat and schematics you can still find weapons at least that are better than crafted gear. Armour not so much.

Sure, sure, that's what it is.

Yes, but it is hardly an effort really.. point is you can sneak to hissing wastes or sneak to empris de lion and enable the missing sword elven quest and farm for them and then the game is basically completly done at that point you can't die.  Almost as soon as you get to Skyhold.. so its just a matter of getting to skyhold

I am also disabled, and by re-mapping the control keys before gameplay, the KB&M experience has much the same controls and feel as those for SWTOR. I point this out as that game received an award from the community of the disabled for its interface and controls.

While the current set-up may not be as easy as Point & Click, holding the Mouse and utilizing WASD controls to steer is not difficult, and is more manageable than the ME series, Skyrim, and even SWTOR as DAI also has Pause and Tac-Cam features for the occasional break.

I remapped the keys already and I'm also using VAC to activate as many things as possible through voice commands (mostly menus). I use W to walk and mouse to steer and use pause+tact cam in 90% of fights. As you see we both think alike. I also played SWTOR for some time and it was good for disabled people. Still looting and right-clicking to move to/interact with stuff should be possitive.

Who's Amelia?

 

Apparently a Bioware dev who said her opinion, don't know any details though. No matter what was said I always appreciate honesty, so my hat's off for that.

Well you just took your hat off to somebody who called a person a villain for making a video about how badly multiplayer is broken.
