No. Just against humans and animals. There is a Dragon slaying rune specifically made for dragons.

Best 10k I ever spent
I just wish the other characters would sit on it too and all hold onto each other.It's especially funny with a lanky elf Inquisitor, their legs look like a couple of bendy straws

I started Blackwall out as sword and board too, but that seemed less effective as I went on because of the feeble damage output.
You can always reset your perks, though. I think I spent more money resetting my party's perks than on anything else.
Nice! Thanks.

Level 16 now and I still haven't chosen a specialisation.
Rage Mift looks good but I always have Solas in the party so two feels a little redundant, maybe. I've also read that it can be a little weak against bosses as ability weakness/CC won't affrect them and 2 Rift Mages will only compound that.
Necromancy looks interesting and I like the idea of temporarily turning enemies but it just seems kind of... evil and I'm not sure it fits my character.
That leaves Knight Enchanter but I don't really like the idea of a mage in melee. Supposed to be quite OP too?
What to do, what to do.

Save often, and keep a large selection of save files.
Casual and Normal mode are way too easy.
The Knight Enchanter mage specialization is easy mode on any difficulty.
If a platinum is something that interests you, plan ahead. Achievements are missable and a bit buggy.

The only one I had problems with was the Dragons' Bane trophy. I had to kill three of the dragons twice because of it. Just save the game before each fight, and replay them if a bug occurs.

This was my first Dragon Age game and I'm 4 trophies away from 100% it. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It helps to read a bit of lore to understand the story and certain characters. You should be find though.

Same here. I won't be platinuming it, as I don't like to replay lengthy games like this, and I missed the On Burning Wings trophy for choosing the option that made more sense to me.

While entirely welcome, after 127hrs it is a little late.

I've encountered two different kind of bugs with the dragons. Two times the dragon just disappeared with the loot, and the game didn't register the kill. Once it just froze when its HP reached zero.
EDIT: I don't know if it's random, but the dragons that glitched for me were in Hinterlands, Hissing Wastes, and Emerald Graves.

After I get the romance acheev tomorrow (shut up), I'm not touching it until all the DLC comes out.

I've had dragons just instantly disappear instead of playing their falling down animations, but they left the loot. And I've had other enemies just freeze upon hitting 0hp but not a dragon. I did get the common bug where the dragonslayer cheev didn't pop.

Now that you mention it, it was only the Hinterlands dragon which disappeared with the loot for me. The one in the Hissing Wastes left loot, but the game didn't register the kill.

Pretty good game, knight-enchanter made things way too easy though

Yeah, i should have learned by now not to buy games until 1 year+ after release.
Just finished the game and I have to say that I really liked it. I also just killed all 10 dragons. Strangely, I enjoyed killing and searching for all dragons more than completing the main campaign. Many here complain about the lack of side missions but I actually enjoyed them quite a lot. Not all of them of course but claiming keeps and finding some collectibles was rather cool. 80hrs in total.

Put 80 hours in. Disappointed In the ending. Expected more. And the
extra at the end confused me a bit
Just started this finally. Quick question. I did a dragon age keep file awhile ago, importing my DAO and DAII stories. But I didn't k ow I had to choose export on the site.
I just did that but I'm already a few hours into DAI. Will the correct world state take effect now? Or am I boned and have to start a new game file?

Sir!
That patch news sounds amazing! There is no cert required for PC but I am inferring that they are going to wait for console cert to release the PC version. That's a drag. Especially since they didn't give an ETA. hopefully I am able to get in on the beta since it's only for "certain" players.

Hello
Just hit lvl 12 on my knight echanter playing nightmare and I was wondering if I could get some advice on gear and skills because I am feeling overwhelmed at times.
Thanks for any response.
My build at level 19 was this one (if you are going for a completionist playthrough you'll probably reach level 24, plus two amulet of power and one extra point if you are a human).
Since you won't be able to have all those skills at this point I'd prioritise these ones. Spirit Blade should be your main attack, replacing the standard R2 staff. Fade Shield should allow you to keep your barrier up pretty much non-stop, and if it ever falls you'll have the Barrier spell to get them to full strength again (if you want to have an additional failsafe you could also get Mana Surge). Clean burn makes it so that the more you attack with SB, the shorter your cooldowns for other spells are (super useful for Fade Cloak and Decloaking Blast). Conductive Current works well, as you'll expend mana quickly with SB.
As for gear I'd get a staff with Guard on Hit. Schematic farming in Sulevin will net you Seer Staff, and the Suledin Keep vendor has the First Enchanter Staff schematic. If you have The Short List perk and access to the Hissing Wastes you might want to refresh the inventory of the vendor there for Superior Battlemage Armor (if you don't have the perk you'll be able to get Sturdy Battlemage armor instead).
Awesome thanks for the thorough response
. I will be playing in a few hours and will grab those skills. Thanks for the info on the staff will begin that tonight. I grabbed the crafting schematic for the warden Battlemage armor but if the sturdy Battlemage armor is better I will work on grabbing that too.
Thanks again
.

About a 1/4.
Edit: It really depends on how much of the Hinterlands you've done. I assume you have done most of the Hinterlands. Maybe you're closer to 30%.
A friend of mine has an issue, wonder if some of you may know the answer
He recently started the XB1 version and really likes it, but he said the game keeps referring to his character name as "Undefined"
Even though he thought he gave it a name during character creation. Anyone hear about this issue before?

Happy Valentine's Day, suckas!!! Got the VDay Acheeve! Now I can stop playing until the DLC!
Yesterday when I was playing the game suddenly stutters. I get massive frame drops at irregular intervals and it gets frozen for 1-2 seconds and then it's 60 fps again. I opened the task manager and saw that the cpu usage was 100% everytime it stutters. That happened after I changed my motherboard and cpu (Gigabyte Z97X UD5H-BK + 4690k). Before that had a Gigabyte Z77X UD5H and a 3570k and it never happened. I reinstalled the game but the problem is still there.
I was so happy to play it again after 4 weeks because my psu killed my old motherboard (and maybe the cpu, too) in January and I had to buy new mobo+cpu. I'm so close to finish DA:I and now I'm getting this.

Finally was able to put some hefty hours into the game. I have to say, I am impressed so far.
I am clocking in at 17 hours played and I just got to the Skyhold, so it feels like I have an entire game ahead of me still. If only I didn't have the OCD tendencies to look at my character's eyelashes, they looked normal in the CC but for some reason they stand out a lot more on my character than on somebody like Cullen. I shall not be tempted to recreate him!

When patch 5 hits, you'll be able to without starting from scratch.
Got a day off today (from everything and everyone) and finally started playing this.
Going for one single playthrough for Platinum, so I've been torturing myself on Nightmare. After 7 hours, I think I'm starting to get good at this. Maybe.
I suck at using the tactical view. Don't think I've properly activated it during a single batte yet. I'm too impatient.
Game's pretty good so far, though. And since I'm on Nightmare, every single kill counts and feels good.

I platinumed the game without using tactical view in a single fight. Never felt the need for it, and I doubt it adds anything special.
I'll get the game on PC soon. I'm contemplating changing my R9 270x to be able to experience it in Ultra settings (in 1080p). Advice, anyone ? Don't want to pay more than 250 €/$300.
I wish there was an easier way to manage the War Table missions.
I'm at a point where they're all over the map, and if I view them and decide to pass until later, I can't tell which ones are completed vs. which ones are available at a glance without hovering over every single pin. If there is a way to mark them as new and I've been missing it, I'd feel really stupid.
