Dwarven warrior playthrough (on nightmare with some trials on)...
spoilers for Fallow Mire and Crestwood
Ventured into the Fallow Mire with Dorian, Varric and Vivienne. Edric is level 9 and he is starting to get the hang of combat as he isn't taking as many dirt naps. The party were taking in the many sights of the undead, demons and more undead. Vivienne wasn't impressed with her surroundings by commenting about "a fascinating odour". Edric assumed she was talking about the environment rather than the other party members. Edric cleared the path of demons and defeated the Avvar leader. This Avvar leader fight consisted of everyone being unconscious apart from Varric. Varric used his caltrops and lured the leader to his death. The bleeding damage worked surprisingly well against his guard. Varric's regular attacks were taking around 10 hp hits to his health whereas the caltrops were taking 200 hp hits every few seconds. Edric returned to Skyhold to judge Movran and decided to place him in a gibbet.
Unlocked Crestwood to fight through some more walking dead. Edric was accompanied by Varric, Vivienne and Blackwall otherwise known as 'Team Grey Warden'. The reason for this team name was that every party member is wearing some equipment relating to the order. Varric's wearing the 'Griffon Mail', Vivienne's in the 'Griffon Robes' and Blackwall has a 'Griffon Helmet'. They're on their way to meet the Grey Warden contact known as Loghain. It was pouring down with rain and Edric thought that this was the perfect time to flirt with Harding. Harding charmingly kept the conversation about the undead pouring out of the rift. Edric met some Grey Wardens on the road and he encouraged Jana to join the order. Solas greatly disapproved of this despite not being in the party (he must have used his telepathic abilities 
).
Edric went to the fort to clear the bandits. He burst through the front door and defeated the first group of enemies. He eventually picked off the second group of enemies one-by-one using an attacking and fleeing strategy. However, Edric can't advance any further in the fort because one of the doors is barred from the other side 
. This must be a glitch because some enemies were supposed to come through this door with some rogue bandits but they never did. I tried to fast travel to a different area and return but it didn't work. Therefore, the bandits strategy of barring the door to impede Edric's progress has succeeded 
. Edric will return to the fort another time otherwise Crestwood will continue to be plagued by bandits and undead. This means that the rift under the lake cannot be closed to help the village.
The next step is to contact Loghain.
Retour en haut
. It was good fun and looked stunning, I enjoy hordes of enemies - I could do this all day, as Dorian would say. Not as challenging as the Hakkonites (although Aegis of the Rift did come in very handy).
. I wish there was a tinting table here as we had to go all the way back to Skyhold to tint Dorian's armor, because priorities.
) and making the chat rounds. Then, it was off to Val Royeaux to be insulted by the Lord Seeker
Would the end result be that electricity does normal damage? I didn't fight the bandits here....there were too many of them and we're still only level 5.
