When you hit 10 there is a new quest available on the war table. I think it's on the Ferelden side. It mentions specialist training explicitly.

You have to request the trainers on your war map and they will turn up in Skyhold near the stables.
Prepare thy self for a fetch quest though.

You can just respec after you unlock one. There's no bonus for maxing a tree

Longbow of the Griffon. You can only get it in the second last mission though.
Remember to search around.

Both my main mages are respecced to Knight Enchanter, and we literally destroy everything now.
It's a pity Spirit Blade does not count towards Fade Shield.

I fell through the floor in the main hall in Skyhold. What greeted me down below was this curious thing.
It vanished once I got closer and some strange music-box style track started playing :O
IIRC, that's an Easter Egg.

You're about 1/3 through the main story, the rest depends on how much side content you have played and intend to play.

Has anyone encountered any Skyrim type dragon bugs?
Few times now for me, once a Dragon was flying backwards, another time while fighting a dragon it's wings were doing all sorts of weird shit and yesterday I was fighting a dragon, had it's health nearly gone when suddenly it teleported into the air, facing down towards the ground it started spinning in a circle extremely fast, then his health bar turned green and I could no longer kill him so I had to reload.

Siding with the Templars mission was pretty cool. The boss made me wish there was a stay the fuck away command in the radial menu. Setting Sera up for max distance long shot and immediately charging in once I release control is infuriating.
Had a shot at the following mission and the goons melted my party. Didn't help that they were a level above on nightmare while everyone but my main was wearing their initial armors.
After the initial terror demon firm the fight was a breeze. Then Cole joined in and I saw the health bar plummet down haha

Not had that, yet! All I do get is game crashes over and over and over whenever I want to talk to a companion. It took me 4 goes to be able to chat to Cassandra the other day. It's why I have slowed down on playing the game.
Yeah I agree the tactics needs a way to tell my ranged people to STAY AT RANGE. The following mission I think is the most challenging in the game at that point, you'll definitely want to gear out your party. And get some bees.

Finished it after 35 hours.
Game was disappointing overall to me. Didn't like the combat much, didn't feel a strong connection to the characters and for a lot of the time was kinda bored. I think the game suffered from trying to play like an open world game which for the most part isn't my thing and it ended up feeling really unfocused all round.
I don't think its a bad game just feels kinda confused. I had a lot of bugs to which started to really grate on me.
However I might give it another go when I clear my back log a bit and a patch or two has come out.

- How do I get the Reapers? I finished the quest to get these on the site, but when I fire up Dragon Age: Inquisition on my X-Box One: I see nothing yet in the undercoft's special deliveries.
Put about 5 hours into this bad boy and loving it; however, I'm playing on ps4 and every time I restart the game my save files are corrupted and I have to redownload from the cloud. Any advice on what to do because I have a feeling this is impacting the trophies I earn because a bunch disappeared on me already. I really don't want to have to shelve this game until a patch is released.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Just finished the game after 76 hours. Seventy-six hours. Now THAT'S your entertainment dollar getting fucked stretched. And I didn't even finish many zones and didn't touch Emprise de Lion at all. Replay, here I come!
Ending was satisfying and I like that there is good exposition on the aftermath. Despite the cries of main quest being short, I felt it was lengthy enough as, though there aren't many missions, each of the missions are quite meaty in their own right. Easily, my GOTY.
Also, post-credit scene exists and is extremely significant.

Yeah I still don't get the focus and how it works

I really want to play this game, but that damn banter bug is killing me 
Tried almost every fix that people mentioned, but nothing helped in the long run. I was thinking of starting a new game, since I'm not that far in (11-12 hours in, just went to Val Royaeux for the first time). I hope that helps, but I'm still afraid that it'll occur again after few hours :/
I hope they find that bug and squish it in the next couple of weeks.

Wow that sucks. What are you playing on?
I've had 4 crashes in total on PS4 in my 125+ hours of play.
Oh my god guys, did you know that it is possible to craft armor without class restrictions?
I don't consider this a real spoiler myself, but i put it in a tag just to make sure anyone who thinks otherwise is not spoiled.

If you select silverite as the main metal it removes the class restriction (only class not race), so you can for example craft heavy or light armor for your rogue or any other combination! For those with non metal main material there is another kind of wool (Dale wool or something) wich does the same thing.
I really should pay more attention to item describtions, that information would have been really helpful some 50 hours ago....
Silverite can be farmed in Emprise du Lion

Vinsomer for me has been the easiest dragon. I don't know if it was a bug tho.

Was just walking around the Hinterlands (shh) and I found...this. No explanation, nothing to examine, it was just there.
Also does anyone know where else I can find some great bears (the grey ones) besides around the forest camp?
Emerald Graves and I've definitely come across them somewhere else, but I'm not sure where. The ones in the Hinterlands are just regular bears though.
PS4. I basically save after every fight now or after every 5mins. I have also had the game bug out when doing the throne trials. I end up just standing there with the crowd around me and not cut scene.

I assume they mean Vivienne and their main character. I'm pretty sure you can't change an npc's ability trees.

Finally unlocked the Kinght Enchancer class.
After a few hours with it I can definitely see why people call it OP, but it's really fun to play.
Still, I think I will build my character to be fun rather than OP, invest in some spells and that I don't really need rather than putting all the points towards barrier upgrades (which would truly make you unkillable)
I'd also like to know this... it's kind of weird that there is no sub menu or something to use other skills.
There are skills like the healing magic from the knight enchanter which you can't use frequently (because it uses focus) but you have to waste a hotkey to be able to use it

Beat the story on Nightmare. 100 hours. Sensational game.
Won't Platinum it though. Whole bunch of trophies left that would require at least another playthrough and a LOT of grinding (2500 demons killed for example, I haven't even done the 1000 kills one).
Release date for Dragon Age 4 pls. Need more.

DLC first.
I'm pretty sure it's designed so that you can only have eight active abilities mapped to hotkeys; I think someone at Bioware gave an interview pre-release that it would be limited to eight (both PC and console) because "32 abilities for the whole party should give you enough tactical choice" or something like that. So you have to pick and choose which eight abilities you want, and then spend the rest of your points on passives and upgrades. Or, you can take on more than eight abilities and remap them before specific fights (though I never bothered doing that).
It's kind of an artificial restriction and weird design decision (just like the lack of healing spells and limiting you to potions). But it does force you to decide and plan out which abilities are actually useful in battle, and respec your characters as needed.
I don't think I ever saw any in the Hinterlands, they appear in the Emerald Graves. You can get a small side-quest from a soldier at the first camp to hunt one (it appears to the northeast of the camp), and then after that one of them appeared for me in the "Rush of Sighs" entrance to the north-east of the Gracevine camp. If you're looking for the "Great Bear Hides" / pelts for a quest, they usually drop several each.
