Ignore the italicized text. The Descent questions are answered. But instead of make a new thread I decided to edit this one.

 

Spoiler

I have started my descent. I have two questions.

 

Whenever I click to move or click to perform certain abilities, there is a flash of light on the screen where I clicked. Is this supposed to happen? It's like I get a flashlight beam waved across my eyes every time I click on something.

 

Second... early into the adventure I noticed some kind of buff or debuff on my characters that made them look like their shadows were shifting back and forth, and some kind of shadowy aura was emanating from them. The status icon looks like a light-blue skull of some sort (with a beard maybe) on a deep purple background. I put the cursor over the icon but it doesn't give the name of it. This thing also stacks. Tactical view gives no title for it and shows it stacking times two or three depending on the character. What the heck does this do? I reloaded to before it happened and it hasn't happened since, but I was just curious as to what it was.

 

Anyone who has played Descent and knows the answers to these questions, please reply.

 

I have a quick gameplay/headcanon question about Trespasser. A simple yes or no will suffice.

 

I don't know how long Descent is, but I get the feeling that I am at the halfway point. I am starting Trespasser soon, so I figure I should ask the follow questions first before I get into it. That way I don't have to reload to change anything to make it just right.

 

In my playthrough Vivienne is Divine, Blackwall is gone to join the Grey Wardens, and Varric has left for Kirkwall. Also, Dorian will have returned to Tevinter by the time Trespasser starts and The Iron Bull will have gone back to Par Vollen. So my question is basically the same for each character. Do they show up in Trespasser wearing the same clothing/armor as they were wearing before I select the DLC on the chore table? Also, do they have the same weapons and equipment?

 

I want to know because if I can have Vivienne show up wearing a specially made mage coat that looks fitting for a Divine, then I would like for that to be the case. Same thing with Blackwall. I want to make a superior Warden suit of armor for him to just show up wearing when I meet him again in Trespasser. Also, I gave The Blade of Sulevin to The Iron Bull for storyline and headcanon reasons. I want to know if they have their pre-Trespasser equipment. If not, then I would rather not waste time making the clothing and armor for them.

 

Thank you to anyone who can answer this.

I play on the Xbone and i get those flashes sometimes... not really sure what that is, but it doesn't break the game, so I don't worry about it too much.

 

That debuff/buff though.... I'm not sure tbh... I'll look tonight?

[Dai Grepher]

Thanks. The flashes stopped after I got out of the outer area and sealed the tunnel. I think I saw it happen once in the Deep Roads, but that's it.

 

Haven't seen the blue/black aura thing again.

 

I fought through the area with all the darkspawn. It wasn't difficult, but it was annoying. I'm glad the game didn't crash before I finished. That would have been bad.

 

Oh, I just remembered, during the darkspawn fight where the archers are, my mage caught on fire somehow and the burning debuff would not go out. He was just taking constant burning damage. This is likely a bug. I had to keep casting Barrier and Horn of Valor to keep up his guard and protection. Finally after beating the archers I had him use Fade Step and that ended the burning debuff instantly. Weird.

Can't really answer about the first one since I haven't notice it, but as for the second...

Do you mean something like that?

Spoiler

If yes...

Does any of your characters have upgraded Toxic Cloud? New upgrade for it seems to generate Elusive (which was previously mp Isabela only) and it gives that shadow like aura. I'm not certain if any other ability/item were added to grand Elusive. Toxic Cloud is the only one I know about.

[Dai Grepher]

Yes. Thank you.

 

I had taken Varric into Descent just because I was taking Blackwall as well (to see if he had any Warden relevant lines, slight metagaming here), and I picked toxic cloud on Varric as well as the elusive upgrade just out of curiosity. You're completely right. And it explains why I haven't seen it again since then, because in my playthrough I headcanon that Varric has returned to Kirkwall and Blackwall has left for the Grey Wardens. I am at the end of the game and just completed Jaws of Hakkon as well. So my only party is Cassandra, Sera, and Cole, with Dorian and The Iron Bull (Qun version) just barely hanging on for Descent before leaving as well, with Vivienne already gone to be Divine. So I won't see Varric or Toxic Cloud again until Trespasser. Thanks again.

I have updated the first post to ask if the returning characters in Trespasser show up wearing the same armor and have the same weapons. This includes characters who leave, such as Vivienne who is made Divine, as well as Blackwall who leaves in the storyline but not so much in the gameplay.

[Rascoth]

You're welcome

 

As for your new question... Only Divine changes her armor. The rest - armor/weapons/accessories - stays. 

[Dai Grepher]

Thank you. So I think I'll just wait until after getting Vivienne back to craft any new armor for her (if I feel the need to).
