Dragon Age: Inquisition |OT2| Leave the damn Hinterlands!

There are great bears (the grey ones, not the brown ones, you get great bear claws from them) in the Hinterlands around the Forest Camp, but it seems there's only 3-4. They may only appear when you take the Hinterlands sidequest to retrieve 3 great bear claws.
I will check Emerald Graves, thanks.

That really sucks. Hopefully they patch it soon.
I've just hit an annoying bug, nothing like yours, but the war room drums play all over the Skyhold, luckily I'm nearing the end of my run otherwise it would drive me nuts.

Hmm, I assumed next game, but dlc leading to the next game would probably make more sense.

Yeah, they're not great bears. I originally thought they were there, but nope.

1) Play as an Elf
2) Talk To Sera
3) Resist all urges to punch a hole through your monitor

Not really. Stop being so elfy.

Don't be ridiculous, she's one of the better characters. She seems annoying at first but she's pretty damn funny imo.

unless you like being an elf
both elf characters in the party hate elves
The only reason she's funny is because of how Vivienne mocks her in party banter
Yeah, I hope the patch lands soon. It's a great game, just shame about the game crashing bugs. I don't mind the little ones as I expected them due to the size of the game. It's just restarting the game time after time gets boring. The drum bug sounds annoying tho.

Solas doesn't.
She also gets over it if you're not too elfy.
Nah, her party banter with everyone is great. Take her around with Blackwall or Bull for a bit.
I don't mind her, it's Vivienne I can't stand.

I like being elfy! also correction on Solas then, he hates the Dalish

Yeah, I haven't really taken her anywhere because she's just a dick to everyone. Only used her when I went dragon killing.
On my second playthrough, I romanced Sera as an elf and she really isn't that bad.

Really? I didn't even pick up on that. He even scolds Sera for not being a proper elf or whatever.

Fair point.
Viv is quite the bitch, she just about puts everyone down constantly. But I love it, makes for some great banter.
I'm sure Vivienne is a troll. She likes to bitch at people and places you go and is never happy. Yet you can train her to be a Knight Enchanter.

True. Her banter with Sera is still funny tbf.

Playing a male, goody two-shoes human mage. Had a slight fling with Dorian, but decided to call it off and pursue a romance with Cassandra instead. Killed the Hinterlands dragon today and although I thought that I had a pretty good line-up (Cassandra, Iron Bull, Vivienne), it mopped the floor with my party at first. I absolutely love the fact, that you get to judge some of the bosses you encounter and dish out fitting punishments. So far I've

banished the Goat-lord to Tevinter with weapons, made Alexius serve the mages, absolved Ser Ruth of all her crimes and made Lord Erimond into a Tranquil.

Well they do drop great bear claws, but these Emerald Graves great bears are much larger and drop great bear hides. So I guess those Hinterlanders don't know the meaning of "great bear".

That's what confused me as well. Bit silly, really.
There's a door directly behind you from where you are standing when you arrive at Skyhold from somewhere else
You guys weren't kidding about Knight Enchanter. Vivienne just soloed the Emerald Graves Dragon. It is ridiculous how OP it is

If you're not smug about it she won't care. She just doesn't want to be preached at.
Yeah, it makes no sense. If you're Dalish he reacts very condescending towards you and your heritage. His idea of what an ideal elf should be clearly doesn't exist anymore.
Just east of red cliff. Go to the camp south east of red cliff and run straight north.
Directly to the north of Dusklight camp

In what way? She plays the odd prank, but she's hardly a troll.
Dragons (along with a bunch of other stuff) are marked on these maps

Lol, don't worry, the odds aren't actually that steep. You stay on top of things for most of the game.

I feel like 90% of all the armor sets in the game are trench coats. Kinda weird.
Quest leads to nothing so I have read, no time for this!! Too many quests already, brain is overloaded!!!
I've been working on my Necromancer in MP and just found a pretty good fire staff and that + master spirit rune + various passives makes me walking death.
The only things they need to fix is to nerf the Demon Commander and add the ability to respec. I know you can promote when fully leveled, but it sucks when you waste an ability point on what you thought would be a useful skill.

so how is the armor and weapon style variety? Is there only a few armor and weapon variants with them being different colors? probably a silly thing but I hate looking the same after hours of play.
Oh no, there is something at the end
"Bull, are your women like you?"
(he says something esoteric I forgot what)
"No, I mean are they big and fwaa!"
People who get put off by her intro scene nuttiness are missing out. She's quite lucid most of the time, but more importantly hilarious.

Soo not sure if this is different depending on if you support Templars vs Mages, but the
, in a long time, I felt really invested and enthralled by a game's story in a long time.
, but I absolutely loved it. Told myself I was going to stop playing at 11 PM last night (after about a 7 hour binge) and I finished at 1 AM. Well done, even if the resolution was kinda anticlimactic.
Also, in terms of pure content, this game is almost annoying with the amount of shit to do. I'm STILL going back to the Hinterlands every so often to catch up on stuff. It feels like the Hinterlsands alone has more story, world-building, character, and overall content than the whole of Destiny (a little hyperbolic, I suppose).
Coming from Destiny, it is a breath of fresh air to find a game that knows how to do fetch quests MOSTLY right (shard collection suxxx) by integrating them into the storyline/NPCs and making them MATTER.
Well done, Bioware. And I'm not even level 10 yet and there are class specs? I JUST started delving into armor/weapon upgrades and love it. So much shit to do, I have to remind myself to push the story forward.
What a great game so far. And I haven't even tried co-op yet!
EDIT: Also, what's a rogue gotta do to get a helm that isn't a piece of cloth/swashbuckler cap or makes me look like a Jim Henson character?
time travel sequence with the Mage path is the first time
I think part of it was the sci-fi nerd in me, and another part was the Chrono Trigger-ness of the whole thing (accidentally travel into a horrible future that needs to be changed)

God the AI in this game is frustrating. Dragon summons fire mines, party stands in the mines until they explode, drink 3 potions, repeat. And for some reason they just stop attacking every few minutes. Bioware pls.
