I have a 780, and it seems to hang for 2 seconds about once every hour or so, but the added party banter and loot on the minimap was worth the minor inconvenience.

This game has a lot of interesting characters. I want to switch them around but I love my party of Cass, Dorian, and Cole. Their bantering can be hilarious at times.
Also, god I hate Sera... she is so annoying...

Only if you're a fast traveling casual.
Man, I've been playing the zones out of order. I've done Emerald Graves, Hissing Wastes, and Western Approach before Exalted Plains - have both that and Emprise left with all their dragons. Been on a dragon slaying spree lately, so much fun with my fully leveled Reaver specialization.
Tactician's Renewal. Buy it from the shop at the blacksmith (hanging saddlebags).
Well, that explains how you're 65 hours in for where you are.
Also, banter doesn't fire while you're on mounts.
iron bull has the best banter. Like if you get him before you see the giant and dragon fighting on the storm cost he will say something like " Holy shit! thats awesome!"
OMG awesome. I really think I regret the path I chose so far. Glad to know I can go back.
I'mm save my Sorc for a 2nd playthrough then. Thank god.

How does he interact with Cole? Because right now him and Dorian are my favorite two characters.

Wait did the patch unintentionally fix party banter?

Seemed like issues with audio glitches prevented banter from firing, so the patch did improve the firing rate for some.
I'm still having trouble getting Varric to talk though. :/
There's a spoiler thread. Go there to discuss.

Finally kicked that insufferable bitch Vivienne out of my party and replaced her with Dorian.
I really wanted a knight enchanter in my party but damn I can not stand her.

I didn't use her at all my first playthrough, but on my second I've been playing around with different parties to hear their banter and I've been pleasantly surprised by her. She and Sera have some pretty funny interactions - Sera is constantly trying to insult / unnerve her, and Vivienne purposely acts snobby and insults her right back (and reveals she actually has a sense of humor) - her bitchiness becomes funny rather than unpleasant.
Some characters just have a really good dynamic together, whereas other pairs are a bit more boring, or their antagonism isn't as amusing (I got tired of hearing Dorian / Blackwall sniping at each other). But I like that the game has given the companions enough personality with one another that I actually want to experiment and change things around, and am interested in hearing what they have to say.
Now if only the companion AI would be improved so I'd be comfortable including some different people in my party (I liked Iron Bull's banter, but I can't handle having to heal him all the time; I want to hear more from Varric but I feel like Sera outclasses him on equipment / damage as an archer, and I never tried Cole because melee / low defense for a companion just doesn't seem workable).

No wonder that was so hard. I completed all the tasks in the area, excluding the dragons, when I was at level 13. I did get some very good gear from there though.
Holy shit lol
I think you're referring to the Focus Meter. It fills up as your party deals damage / does combo-attacks; once it fills up to level 1 (the diamonds will become a golden line) you can use a special Focus move, which you have to assign to your hotkeys. Each party member has an individual Focus meter, and their own Focus move depending on their specialization.
You can also upgrade the Focus meter to fill up to tier 2 or 3 with Inquisition perks; the move remains the same but is more powerful depending on how much the meter is filled up.
Is there any way to tell that a companion is your friend? I had the achievement for three friends at once pop up, but outside of being obsequiously friendly to everyone, I have no idea where I stand (*misses the friendship meter*).
that happened to me on the PS4 and I button mashed my way out. luckily I female elf didn't have to F Dorian. I have no idea what I ended up telling him.
also make sure you kill the flaming dragon (hinterlands) before you pass lvl15. no xp for enemies more than 3 lvl's below you. also the loot drops will be meaningless if your lvl is too high.
I wanna roll with two rogue archers, myself and Sera, but god damn I can't find a decent bow for Sera. I have her as a dagger build because of it, but she's too squishy, and dagger builds are kind of boring for me grrr
I went into the Hissing Wastes and was getting destroyed. Found a vendor that sold some nice armor schematics though, I could only afford one. Is it just me or is gold not that easy to come by? On one hand I like that, it's nice to not have so much money that it becomes useless, but I also wanna buy stuff!
Went to the Exalted Plains and having no trouble. Going into a new area for the new time is probably the best thing about this game. It's so easy to get lost exploring becaususe of the design of the worlds. Stumbling upon
was awesome. And so many cool little caves and small hidden paths. Amazing.
Stuck at work Need to explore more..

I'm playing as a dagger Rogue and am enjoying it, I've never played as this type of class before so it's taken a while to get used to it but it is fun!

Found this interesting Dagna side quest...
She has some realizations of the Fade that liken it ALOT to our study of the universe through quantum mechanics

Next to one of the camps in the hissing wastes is a dwarf tomb with the tier 3 bow schematic in it.
There are some exceptions, and I think dragons are one of them.
Hey guys, where can I buy leather in the game? Somehow it looks like I'm completely out?
When I check the crafting armor everything is red and has a 0 armor rating.

I think you can usually kill the neutral monsters, they give leather.
just feeling to post this pic
It's from the beginning that my Cole is stuck in this way during the cutscenes.
it's the ps3 version obviously, never played a game so bugged before.
After 160 hours, i can say that it was a fun experience, interesting story(i'm a huge fan of the DA world), but it seemed that this was a different game from the prequels, too much Mass Effect 3-mmorpg style.Two steps forward and three backward. I give it from 7,5 to 8. If was not for the bugs, freeze, ecc, it was 8 for sure.
Edit: don't know why the pic doesn't work, oh well. It was funny and weird.

So torn between romancing Cassandra or Dorian. At first, Dorian seemed like the only romantically close bond my inquisitor had but then Cassandra went full on after her personal quest and has revealed a whole new side to her.
Even harder is that they're so different to each other. I feel like most of what's pushing me towards Cassandra is that she's the better choice politically than a Tevinter mage but she's also gone through a lot more personally to get to this stage, whereas I imagine Dorian would have an easier time finding another.
Damn it BioWare...

Dumb question time:
Is this game supposed to be ridiculously long? I mean, I've put in maybe 13 hours so far, and I'm still in the Hinterlands, which is only the first of what, 10 or 11 areas of that size? Are most playthroughs taking upwards of 80 hours or so? I don't particularly mind, because I am really enjoying the game so far, but I am curious if I am just moving along much slower than most.

The Hinterlands is probably the biggest area. If you do a lot of the side content you can easily take 80 hours or more. It's a very large game.

I have a 670... no hangs.
Getting the shards is only worth it if you're a trophy/achievement hunter.
Cool, moving on thanks.

It happens on XBox One, and it has no patch. So it has been doing that since day one. Always happens when approaching the stairs by Varric and going from the Chantry to Solas
There needs to be a romance dialogue option for my dwarven warrior to tell Cassandra, "You mean the world to me...until Scout Harding becomes available."
I was rewarded for my dwarf's efforts to romance Cassandra with what could best be described as an incredibly awkward and weird moment of...meaty dwarf nakedness and glitched dialogue. The male American voice talent for that scene is hilariously creepy, especially the soft whispers. Gross.
On a positive note, it was less creepy than the romance scene between my dwarf warrior from Dragon Age 1 and Leliana. That was awful.
The plan is to politely part ways with Cassandra as soon as the Romance Harding DLC is released.

Actually you can a nice permanent bonus to elemental resistances if you get the shards. To me, that makes it worth it.

What is the skull and crossed swords logo all over the place? It's on the inquisition pole as well. What faction is it?
Yeah, the stairs is where one of them keeps happening for me now, I'll have to check the other. Hope it gets sorted out soon.
Grey Wardens I believe.
You know about the scene where Harding asks the dwarf Inquisitor out for a drink, right? They'd be crazy not to do a DLC with a bunch of Harding in it.
