so the way the game is meant to be played is broken? lol
not enough gold to buy stuff
not enough materials to craft for whole party.
yeah right.
To play devil's advocate for a moment...
There is the very real possibility they intended for materials and gold to be limited so that you would have to make choices about who to deck out in crafted gear and/or the best purchasables. While this is an acceptable design element, it certainly does not appeal to the broadest audience.
Personally, I find the whole resource and merchant system absurd. Why do I, the Inquisitor, the leader of a massive force with substantial personnel at my disposal have to go out and collect my own resources. Sure, the more rare ones, like dragon mats or fade-touched, I should have to collect on my own. But as far as the more common ones that I just happen upon in my adventures, why can't my minions do that? And the thing I find most ridiculous, there are merchants all over Thedas, including Skyhold, yet none of them seem to have a readily available supply of crafting materials beyond tier 1. There are massive armies gallivanting around the continent in finely crafted weapons and armor yet nobody seems to be selling materials, anywhere. What... the F@#$?
