They call me the herald... I say I am a bear tamer who does a ****** poor job of taming much of anything.  I wonder how "the people" would react to the site of their "herald" running away when a couple of bears have successfully ran a tag-team operation (on my entire party, I might add - not just myself - as the "herald") and thus causing me to tuck tail and run towards the nearest campsite to lick my wounds.

 

I am not so sure they would think of me as anything more than a daft fool whole was saved from the whole explosion simply because he accidentally slipped on a pebble when the whole thing happened.

 

Maybe it is best if my character doesn't keep a journal around. 

 

"Dear diary - ran into more bears today.  Guess I will try reaching that tree in the distance another day.

 

PS - I hate bears.

 

The (Supposed) Herald"

Does anyone else feel super guilty at killing the bears? I always feel so bad because I'm trespassing in their home and they're just defending themselves...! 

I somewhat do feel guilty that when I see a bear, I try to avoid it. But no, it attacks no matter what and when i run it just chases me. So I have to stop and put it down before I get into real trouble.

I'm the same. I'll still fight it, but I do so pouting.

It doesn't and I like it that way. 

 

For some of the missions given at the war table, you do in fact get a level range, but not for regular areas or maps

 

Ah, did not realize it was just for the missions.

Yeah. My bear reaction is pretty much what I'd do in real life, which is to run the hell away. The horse helps.

I ran into a level 12 rift with a level 4 party on hard in the Hinterlands.

Thank the Maker for stealth and disengage.

Those two Lyrium-Smuggler dudes right around the corner from the furst camp in  the Hinterlands beat the crap out of me twice. Both times I limped out with one guy, rested like twenty feet away, ran back and got spanked again.

 

I learned the combat system reeeeal quick at that point.

I exited a cave and noticed a shadow pass over head. Soon after Varric mentioned a dragon. Then I died.

Yep...shadows overhead may as well be Death offering a handshake.  Take the time to look up, and it may be too late already.  lol

Oh my goodness my anus. Ow.

And I am playing on nightmare mode too.

Ow. My. Angus.

Yeah, I ran into a main quest under-leveled and barley made it out. Not doing that again. I'm grinding to level 12 like this next one says I should be.

I'm actually really pissed about one thing, and it's not that the world is unscaled.  I totally understand and feel like you should reap what you sow, if you are exploring and get cocky.

 

What I am pissed about is the fact that your Journal Missions that you're getting as early as level 4 are telling you to "go close 2 Farmland Rifts" and you see one on your map, encounter it, and deal okay.  Then you follow your map to the second one, and it's a freaking level 12.  (For that matter, I have found at least two Level 12 Rifts in the Hinterlands, possibly three.)  This bat and switch continually repeats itself over and over again, as you get stronger and explore, and get more missions to close rifts. 

 

I feel like whoever designed the missions was kind of a jerk for making your low level missions impossible to get closure with until you've basically run around the entire map and run off to Orlais to boot.  Mission progression is a sort of meta-path- separate from open-world exploration, and despite its faults, DA II did a wonderful job of creating a smooth path of mission progression for you.  I feel like DAI has rather a bully's cruel sense of humor, making you think you can follow the trail of bread crumbs as you go along and then jerking the rug out from underneath you.  It's VERY non-intuitive in regards to forcing you to ditch one mission after another, hopping each new series of missions and leaving them all incomplete while you move onto the next one.

It's on the same wheel where the potions, mounts, etc. are.

That first Hinterlands rift with a Despair Demon was a pita sandwich for my early game Inquisitor.

 

Also, I wasn't underleveled at the time, but the final fight when you first meet the Big Evil was ridiculously hard to the point that I had to turn the game down from hard to casual just to get past it.

Between still having to work and stuff I've been getting in a good 4-5 hours a night since release minute. How are non-speedrun people already completing the game? I prefer to savour what's on offer, not wolfing it down in one sitting.

See, I like the lack of breadcrumbs. It keeps all the areas relevant later on and is a call back to the old skool way of doing things. When I first encountered one of those L12 rifts I was confused as you just don't see that lack of hand holding anymore. When I realized what was going on, I was like HELL YES.

I havent had a desire demon. Mostly rage and those ones with the freeze ray. Sometimes an Arcane horror or a revenant. Even at level 12 some of the rfits can be hard and the wraiths will get you on fire if you dont have guard/barrier.

 

I did visit the dragon in the hinterlands too early. Got Cassandra killed looking at it. Then ran into the valley to do something and let my party members die so I could live :)

Confession:

 

I'm such a completionist player, that I've only ever been consistently underlevelled in 4 games that I played (and only ever the first time I played them.) Baldur's Gate, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and SWtOR.

 

(In SWtOR's case, it's because I am a F2P player, which I've discovered adds an average of 2-5 levels to what the mission claims is the appropriate one before you're generally capable of handling it, but even then I'm overlevelled for 95% of what I encounter.)
