Re-spec'd my archer to a DW Assassin. About level 14-15. Having a blast with the daggers. Sneaking up behind some unsuspecting AI baddie and planting two blades of steel into his back is pure bliss. Bought some legendary dagger schematics from Black Emporium. One looks like a giant meat clever. Burst damage from rogues is incredible.

No problem I'm sure you'll finally find those Tomes (there are two more places in Exalted Plains where those Venatori spawn, but I can't tell you exatly where, since I got my last Tome from Vints near Dalish Camp).

 

I made a few tests. It seems if you save your game just after sealing first rift (and before you jump to join Cass, Solas and Varric), then leave the game and reload said save, that thing can happen. I reproduced it on two charries (with the one when it first happened it makes three), but I think it's still too little to make some serious assumptions.

 

Why you cry? It's cool your Bruce is so tall! o 3o

 

 I think so too. (I know, I just have the feeling there are less of them (Vints) around this time, but that could also just be my imagination xD)

 

That is weird  but good to know.

Because it looks weird, when he stands next to normally tall characters. I first noticed it, when I saw that he was half a head taller than Cassandra.
(tho it works with my headcanon that Bruce is a halfelf, his mom being a Dalish and his father being human *is just gonna bend the rules that halfelves can't have pointy ears*  )

They're surely avoiding you, because you want to be a Rift Mage. I'm sure of it 

 

Yeah, it's weird, but not suprising. This game has a few quirks like that.

 

Or maybe Keeper fed him something strange. Who knows what Keepers have in store

Finally finished JoH last night - huzzah! After having played through the whole thing, I enjoyed the varied terrain (very nice) and the overall story/lore, along with some of the side quests. Get the feeling I'm basically going to smash through everything in the Temple of Mythal when I get around to it - hee! I did try to craft some of the new stuff, but I ended up paralyzed by indecision over what mats to use and finally gave up (maybe I'll try again later).

 

I also took all of my super-nice things from Solas; don't get me wrong, I gave him excellent rare weapons and accessories (plus, he gets to keep that epic Keeper robe), but yo, he's not allowed to run off with my Hakkon staff or that spiffy armor that you-know-who gave me OR my superb cooldown amulet at the end of the game - noooooope!

I bet that's the reason  (which is why Haya Adaar became a Necro, I just couldn't find any Vints who would drop any Tomes in my first PT   but as soon as I was a Necro, they were everywhere   )

 

I agree.

 

True. Ugh, that makes me think of Zathrian

What I find annoying is, I haven't found a single Venatori yet. Except for the two groups in the Hinterlands during Dorian's One Less Venatori quest.  I don't get it, in Casual those places where swarmed with Venatori and now nothing.  I want Bruce to be a Rift Mage, but how, if I can't find any Tomes?  *whines*

 

According to the game guide, tomes are found with Venatori located in the Exalted Plains at:

 

Ghilan'nain's Grove

Desolate Bank

Halin'sulahn

 

If finding them is anything like the time I was looking for champions to defeat, 2 will pop up as soon as you reach the area and the last will wait until you've combed every last spec of dirt before finally deciding to show up.

 

The funny thing about the guide....it lists the locations in the Exalted Plains, but the map they have with the entry is for Crestwood.

[Melbella]

I created a new character.  Tanith, elf mage, will romance Solas (probably ) and become a rift mage. If she romances Solas, after she drinks from the Well she's gonna dump his elfy a$$. You know, to pay him back for breaking Andariel's heart.  That's the plan anyway. Whatever happens is still a looooong way off.

So far, she's managed to not get on Cassandra's good side and isn't real thrilled to be in her current situation. Stupid shems always blame elves for everything!

 

Edit: Also note, by playing a female quizzy, there is no chance for me to get distracted and romance Dorian.

 

Edit 2: Whoops, accidentally deleted my first note about the bear head in the first cabin you come across.  Foreshadowing much?

In other news, my computer has apparently decided it's tired of being operated on and has worked fine for the past 3 evenings. No cranky noises, no fan not running, everything normal. Still want to replace the fan if I can, though. It's going on four years old this month so it probably needs a rest.

Good luck.  It's really hard to remember, but if you make a few named saves and can manage not to internalize it, it might help.  Come back later for hugs.

although i have nothing against the generic clothing you wear at sky hold i wish you could change between a few outfits like you can in mass effect. and then after the ball the one you wear become available.  (this i mainly cos most of my char are female. but the generic outfit looks horrible on male toons. 

[themikefest]

My biggest issue with the outfit the Inquisitor wears when at Skyhold is that its just one color. I like to have a choice of a different color.

Thanks, I found the two from Desolate Bank and Halin'sulahn. Have to search through Ghilan'nain's Grove yet. (I established the Camp there, just wasn't in the mood to fight more Gurguts  )
Oh, it definitely is like that   Yesterday I was all: "When I find the last Vint I'm gonna kill 'em!" which I'm gonna do anyway. 
 
Sounds like the one who made the guide was Roronoa Zoro 
Tho, the DA wikia says:
 

Venatori Tomes are looted from Venatori in the Exalted Plains (actually, from any Venatori, such as from Dorian's One Less Venatori or even from spawning locations in the Hinterlands). They can be found at Ghilan'nain's Grove, Halin'sulahn, and the Desolate Bank.

 
Which is so not true! Cause I fought the last group of Dorian's Venatori near Ghilan'nain's Grove and all they dropped was Ring Velvet.  After the third reload I gave up and just went on. At least I got some Fade-touched Ring Velvet from them.

You know, if the pajama was just black, or white, I wouldn't even mind it. (black with white/silver buttons  ) but that weird beige is in one word: horrible. The worst was, in my first PT, my Adaar had exaclty that skin color, it looked like she would walk around naked.

It is true, you just need to be lucky... or like me reload the save made before fighting them x times xD

 

What I did today? I made elven female for Solas romance. She turned out almost as I wanted, which suprised me. Also I'm way too happy that that damn half-voice thing only applies to jumps/cries/so on (in my case, at least), not to actual battle shouts. I would hate to have American voice while talking with others and then shout during battles with British one.

 oh, well  xDD

 

Cool =D 

I agree, at least it's only while jumping etc, tho what I noticed, for me it isn't only the Inquisitor, but also the other companions. (at least when you play in german like me and suddenly Sera's voice has a different tone when she gets hit.)

You'll know it for the next time xD 

But it's always like that. 'I'll make character and their spec will be this!' Nice thought, you'll get everything except needed things. Happens every friggin time.

 

I only play with English dub, (even DAO, which has my native language dub). It's just so half assed I can't stand it. I have subtitles in my language, but I rarely pay attention to them (check my reason with dub). It's not even about quality of voice acting, but because the meaning of sentences, Codex entries, whole conversations! It's different! Ugh!

*breaths in, breaths out*

Sorry for that little rant.

Yes, yes and yes! I wouldn't mind the skin-tight pyjamas so much if we could just recolour them. I'm sure my male elf would look less like he's in sausage-casing if the outfit wasn't beige. 

 

Though I think it looks slightly better on female characters anyway. It looked weirdly stretched on my male Trevelyan, and highlights my Lavellan's weird body too much.  Let me put it on the tinting table Bioware! Or let me wear armour. I'll give you all my money! 

[JD Buzz]

Agreed. Colour choices would be nice (ie. black with gold ranking insignia). While PC mods on the Skyhold outfit look cool, I'd prefer the Inquisitor to have actual different wardrobe choices. Not just in Skyhold, but for special functions. For example, in the winter ball, everyone's wearing the same uniform design including the Inquisitor. Why can't the Inquisitor wear either a different dress uniform or have a different coloured ranking sash to show that they're the leader? Things like that would make a difference.

[Ezra Watcher]

hopefully almost finished at court.  happily I've got 100 approval and have had for a while now. think the lowest i got since phase 1 was 81 lol

 

 

well, i was/am near the end of it but i totally messed something up right at the start so I'm going to re do it. oh well.

Oh, yes 

 

Ah, it's okay, I know that feeling. I have to play DAO and DA2 in german, but I could play DAI in english, it's just, I actually like the voice acting there. I think there are only two things that annoy me about the german voices: 1) Alistair and Zevran got different voices (Alistairs voice in DAO was wonderful, in DA2 and DAI he sounds so snobbish  and Zevran's VA voices male!Hawke, which is why they had to change Zevran's voice   in DA2 grrr) and 2) they can't decide how they should pronounce elfish and qunari words. In DA2 Tallis talks about the Ben Hassrat and in DAI Bull calls them Ben Hässräf. (I think the second would be closer to the original  ) Maybe I'll change the language later, but not now.

So, Bruce finished some Inner Circle quests, did the Dead Hand quest and then fought the last Venatori Rift Mage. Rift Mage spec accomplished. 

(he died fighting the Dragon, but there's always a next time xD)

Thank you =) It's fun and Cole will like you if you choose the Rift Mage spec.   

Cole: "You're like me." =D

Well, I would have to play DAO in my language, since there's no option to choose language in game. But! Internet is amazing place and I found out how to change settings manually o 3o

Voice change... *shudders*

 

I'm curious. Who was your 4th party member? ouo

I needed some time to get accustomed to Rift Mage after KE, but it's really fun spec. Variety of tactics you can come up with is suprising.

And Stonefist is so cool *o*

[JD Buzz]

I'm used to playing as a KE as well. I played as Solas for a while to try out Rift Mage and it's really cool, especially stone fist and pull of the abyss. Can't forget about Your Trainer, "Rift Mage, Inquisitor. It's Incredible!" 

[Ezra Watcher]

but for 1 stone halla statue i would have 2 quests done. so I've decided to start over again cos i want to optimise things. you get 10 stone halla. door at start needs 1. door at in the gardens needs 3 (goes down to do red jenny quest and pick up coin) door up lattice in garden needs 1. thats 5, ignore the vault with the locket in it (needs 3) and i need 5 for the door in royal apartments. as such i can't get red jenny thing and vault if i want to finish all other quests. and finishing the others gets you a nice wam of 200 influence from throwing away money.  oh well.

 

now if you got 11 stone halla id be really happy. i could open all the doors i wanted and get all the secret info. 

 

side note. if you get all the black mail stuff up to a point of before you enter royal apartments. you will have used 1 stone halla to get the door at the top of the lattice work. you can then use 3 to get the door down to the red jenny mission also in the gardens area. you can then use 3 for the vault and that gets you 7 used. having collected all the stone halla before the royal apartments. once inside the royal apartments there is 1 stone halla where you save the servant from being killed. (lets say North east corner room) there is another in the south west corner room in that area.you then go round to the room with the construction (and to totally skip the door that takes you to the fade rift) go strait past it and you get stairs down which take you to another stone halla. thus far we have 10 and the quest is finished. if you then go into the door opposite the fade rift door and on the right you jump in a window there is a coin and a stone halla in there which total 11. which means you now technically have 4 but you need 5 for the door. or you can use 3 for the vault (locket) 3 to go down stairs for red jenny mission and 5 for the door in the royal apartments. this will get you stone halla finished, throwing away money finished but you will not have blackmail finished and from what i understand you will not be able to blackmail the empress. 

 

so yeah my original calculations were wrong i need 12 stone halla

 

PS. in previous posts it probably says stone halls because of auto spell correct.

 

PPS. i may have been wrong about the room up the lattice work checking now but if I'm right the best option will be 3 on the vault. 3 on the way down from gardens and 5 of room in royal apartments. 

 

in theory is would work but you need the letter found in that room in order to proceed to the next part so no, its 1 or the other
