Ack! How much things I missed...

Holy Spaghetti Monster, this thread is more and more fun.
Behemoth, I would also say other people's kids aren't my business, if they wouldn't shape this world which we also live in in a very negative way, but they do...so...well, sh*t.
But I won't bash the party anymore with this, especially because you're talking about bugs. Bugs! Good old bugs. There are games where bugs became sort of an entertainment (I'm looking at you, Skyrim) but in DA:I our beloved PS4 decided that it wouldn't like me to finish the game which I spent 150 hours with, and gives me a nice f*ckin' glitch at the last mission's last bossfight.
If someone hasn't finished the game yet, don't read further, SPOILERS may arise:
So Corypheus vs digital-myself at the edge of the goddamn dying world. He ran from us the third time. Long loading, then I got back the picture, and I suspected I should see a video but instead Corypheus just stood there, shrugged and his HP couldn't be lowered anymore. Solas, Iron Bull and Varric went nuts on him and attacked restlessly, oh my brave men, poor souls were also glitched. I tried a couple of restarts. Same glitch persisted. I growled at the PS4 with rapidly increasing frustration. Nothing changed. The description of my reaction wouldn't stand any chance against admins on any existing forums, I guess. I threatened it with the fact that now that I don't have to play with headset connected to my controller, I can quickly send it to destroy his shiny black plastic wrapping with a fine aim. One could have almost feel him shudder, but no, his decision seemed to be beyond redemption. Very well. Since I wasn't truly serious about having the controller as a force of punishment (not yet, at least), I went to sleep, to have a couple very frustrated dreams. Next day, I thought I have to give another try. 150 hours! I cannot throw it out on the window that easily. Of course it glitched again. And suddenly I realized there is something which could actually work. I happened to be a rogue, but I could have use a teammate as well. There is another floating rock near the one you fight on, a bit lower in the air, where Morrigan can bee seen in her dragon form, standing and waiting. I tried to jump over circa 30 times, always missing it with a millimeter - it was obvious that the makers of the game made it impossible on purpose. Only I didn't give a damn. I turned over at the edge of our piece of rock, and did the leaping shot. And IT WORKED. I landed on the other side, and the video suddenly started. Seriously, I was always capable of solving the buggy problems sooner or later, but I cannot recall another similarly homemade, lazy idea saving the day, ever
I rarely feel proud, but I must admit, the sentiment took over for a brief moment, for I was almost certain no one ever solved this problem with such an unofficial, weirdo method
Gameplay saved, PS4 felt safe again. Rare kind of happy end.
My only experience in DA:I romance was the one after discovering the glitch, when I was still utterly hopeless. I loaded a previous save and took Cullen for a round in my enormous frustration. *Cough* If characters could behave accordingly to their gamers' feelings, my Inquisitor would have simply kicked in the door and grab the poor guy to drag him into an empty room lol.
