NEW REQUEST: Emprise du Lion, the entire south east. Downriver of the Elfsblood, after the broken bridge. Some tantalizing structures up on the cliff overlooking the river.

 

Oddly enough, while I had been down the river before, I never noticed the 2 towers on the hillside before.

The only hiccup in the area is the large (and high) zone of death along the river valley (extending some ways past the bridge - you'll see where it kills me) which means you unfortunately have to fly over the bridge and can't run along the river valley from start to finish. But still, I did a flyover the dragon nests towards the end.

Which platform are you on? If you're on a PC and can find the LinGon trainer, you can use the super-jump feature to get out of Skyhold. If you're on a console, I don't know of a reliable way, but maybe someone here might know...

 

 

Here is a you tube that taught the best way without a trainer.

 

 

 

I want that LinGon trainer ! But every time I go to download it from one site or another, it sets off my malware alerts and I just won't risk it. It looks awesome though. If maybe a kind individual would upload this thing up to Nexus or something . . . would be nice, because I trust them to check everything thoroughly. Even the save games with the character saved in these OOB areas would work. Sometimes people give their saves to Nexus. I just don't want malware or viruses, thanks.

 

@ Hrungr thanks for sharing the videos, it's the next best thing. I see that Western approach was only so walkable, there is this huge gulf between the mountains 'out there' and the land. I had wondered if there was a Hissing Waste size land outside so at least that's settled. Thanks again!

 

What a huge game this could have been . . .

[Gilli]

@BrandofTime thanks for that video. I did that and walked around OOB Skyhold for 2 hours.

Will post pics later.

and later, flying up for a birds-eye view of the Approach.

You can see LOD kicking in here as well. Lots of landmarks are missing, since the game system figures your toon is so far away, there's no need to load the camps or ruins or whatnot.

And what I'm all-but-certain is the room we meet in at the end of Trespasser... but no map table!

WAAAIIITTTTT! Is that not also the prison in Haven where you are first held prisoner after falling out of the Fade? Did they full-circle easter egg us?!?! That would be so awesome.

Another bucket list item! Thanks so much! Also, thanks for showing the map view -- that was a request I was going to make for all your outdoor OOB videos, give us a hint where you are by showing the map view.

LOL at the cardboard tree standees.

Whoa... I never even thought of that! Good memory!

Good idea on the map view - I'll keep it mind for the future.

 

Those trees used to creep me out in the beginning, especially if you get into an area with no ambient sounds other than your own footsteps. Creepy trees creepily-silently turning towards you... creepily.   

[Hrungr]

I thought I'd take a quick OOB tour of the Inquisition Encampment after the attack on Haven. It's bigger than I thought!

This is another area anyone can get to without a trainer. All you have to do is save/reload at just the right point -- soon after the last jump forward, and the script that is supposed to make you stagger and walk slowly gets confused, allowing you to walk and jump normally. You have to skirt around the trigger point that makes Cass and Cullen come up to find you, which is hard. Takes a lot of tries.

I thought I had screenshots of that, but can't find. Will reload from save and try again.

[Melbella]

OMG....they made sure to save the cheese from Cory and his dragon!

[Hrungr]

Wow... I *somehow* managed to make my way to Skyhold after touring the encampment.

So if you've ever wanted to wander around the castle at night... during a blizzard - this is it.

 

 

Spoiler

I still can't believe I found it in the middle of the blizzard, but what tipped me off was running across a familiar glacial lake...

 

 

 

And even then I blundered around for a good while to find it. But damn... it was worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

And watching it snow in the War Room was the perfect finishing touch...

^^^ really cool, but a bit off putting. Solas looked really spooky there in the dark. I almost jumped. ^^^

The main hall creeped me out when I first got there - it's damn near pitch black.

(The video really isn't doing its true ambiance justice... )

These OOB videos are awesome, Hrungr. Seeing Inky swimmingly fly over the terrain, I had the Super Mario Bros underwater theme song in mind...

Awesome videos and pics Hrungr

 

 

So here some pics from my little OOB tour today (before I got bored  )

 

Might be a loooong walk down there...

Spoiler

 

Yep.

Spoiler

 

Decided to look at the map. This is NOT how it went....

Spoiler

 

Greed is fleeing from his responsibilities, with Skyhold reminding him in screaming pink that he should come back.

Tried to walk up where the water was flowing down.

Nice view.

What a pretty lake.

This is not how reflections work!

Sunk into blue ice....what?

Such a nice castle.

I couldn't repeat the glitch. The trick is to open Inventory. That's what clears the stagger and slow walk. Then use Tactical to set a waypoint down the valley past the rescue party and keep resetting it. But at a critical point (see cursor in first picture), the T button for Tactical stopped working and that's all she wrote. The second shot shows the furthest I was able to get.

I did get a nice Flycam shot of the healers tent, though.

I love the way the water flows down the glacier. It's mesmerizing...

Clever trick though! I wonder if there's a way to get down to the encampment in such a way that the NPCs will load...

Me too. It's so pretty.

 

I was tempted to go swimming, but I feared I might die.

Fortunately, you can safely swim in the Skyhold lakes.

 

Many of the OOB areas of water (that are a certain distance away from an in-bounds area) can be safely swum. Except for the Storm Coast - as far as I can tell, it's all dip-your-toe-in-and-die.

[Addictress]

Why haven't the devs answered our prayers and explained the meaning of any of this?

A few of the devs have a good presence on Twitter. I have asked them a few questions and they have replied quite quickly.

Actually, you can get under the water in Storm Coast, but you have to go way out of the way OOB to do it. Maybe you have tried this, but this is how I got it.

 

I got out of bounds and made my way around to the east until the land got too sticky, then went north and hit the coast. The water still will kill you here, so keep working your way east along the coast line, usually with a mount at this point until you see the edge of the world. Walk right to the edge and you will see the water ends just a few feet short of it. Run along the waterless part of the edge north until the northern boundary appears. Then you have a little more grace to go under the water at this point, just not too much. You have to go all the way across the northern border until the western edge of Storm coast, then head south and there is a great deal of this water you can go underneath to get to the land over there. It is very hard to navigate, because of the weird geometry, but the mount got me all the way to the southern edge.

 

The weird thing about the water is the instant death/kill so far OOB. So you can make your way close to the real map underwater here, but as soon as you're in sight of the island with the dragon, you just die. I hated hated the random automatic death/kill zones. Like Hrungr pointed out in Emprise, the large area OOB he had to skirt near the river bank because of auto kill. Just hated that. I wish it could be modded out, along with 'invisible Wall'.

 

Also, as a side note. Seeing Skyhold in the blizzard reminds me to ask: Does anyone know why BW didn't implement changing weather more often in the game?  Crestwood and Frostback Basin proved they could change the lighting any time and for me, the game would feel a lot fresher after 300 hours or more if each zone could have a random 'switch' IMHO.
