What? Really? Wow. I hope we are speaking of the same robed man who sells documents and infinite "defender's armor"?
I couldve sworn I only had the new orlais merchants outside. I am blind, dont mind me.

Quick question... between the mages & the templars, whose mission should I do?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Solas is one of those examples of BioWare's potential in writing and conceptualisation, similar to Legion from Mass Effect. Fucking love this guy.

On my next playthrough, I'm bringing him along for everything. Is insight seems to give great details on the lore of Dragon Age overall.

Click in the right stick, at least on XB1 anyway. Assume it's the same for PS4. No idea on PC.

Yep, you click the right stick on PS4 too (one of the rare banters, if not the only one I got in my new game was interactive, so... yay, lucky me?)

There's a door in the Court Yard on the left before you go up the steps to the Main Hall I think.

Something that really annoyed me story wise:
Spoilers for Cassandra's personal quests and Crestwood in the tags.
Spoilers for Cassandra's personal quests and Crestwood in the tags.
The settlement that you can establish in Crestwood is the one in the mission for Cassandra where her people have been killed. I had already unlocked it as a stronghold but it was like a separate place just identical. No trace of me having been there was available - they should have used a different castle for either the mission or the settlement (I can't remember the castles name, sorry.

Is there a place I can buy iron?
I try searching for it on Google, and all I get is countless shit about Iron Bull, hahaha.

Legally he cannot be a good character because he is an elf. I am racist against elves.

You unlocked him via an operation.
You can do it with other companions and with the MC as well.
What race did you play, did you get some racist dialogue options when playing as another race (I don't know since I was an elf)

Oh how do you do it?
Well you basically only loot the amulet in the chest next to him in the tavern... the amulet will always come back the next time to do something outside the skyhold and come back.
and where exactly is this wonderful merchant?

Near the stables opposite the Orlesian trader.

It's the same for most chests/loot. In the Hinterlands where you fight the dragon there's a boat with a lot of stuff including fade-touched obsidian which gives you +3 guard on hit. Just take everything except the gold, save then re-load. Go back and it's all there again. Rinse and repeat.
Alistair told me that they shouldn't count on the Warden's help because she walks a dark path and did terrible things when they fought the Archdemon. Any idea what decision triggers that? She was on good terms with all the party members and its odd that Alistair talks about her with such fear when they were former lovers.
Alistair looks more like Cullen than Cullen does.

I gave Solas shit this playthrough and I got to backhand his stupid face. Feels good man.
They're not endless; take them out first, then focus on the boss (dispel and other anti-barrier abilities are great, as always). I blew through them on Hard at level 13 (?) with Cass, Solas, and S&S self (plus useless Rogue).
Shield Bash is amazing for stripping away guard. One or two shots and the toughest dragon is left defenseless.

I'll have to go back and play Origins yet again, but I distinctly remember the writing and characters in that feeling different... more grounded in the medieval-like setting. I may be wrong, of course, and it may have just been my impression at the time.
Eh, nah. The Dragon Age universe has always felt like more of a clash between modern and medieval values.
Some of the settings seemed a bit anachronistic for a medieval period - Val Royeaux and the Winter Palace in particular seem to be going for 17th / 18th-century France, as does a lot of the costuming and attire. Some tech. and machinery also seem very advanced, though the game usually hand-waves it with "based on ancient Elven / Dwarven technology" or "powered by magic!" or something.
I enjoy Sera as a character very much, but her accent and some of her slang seem a bit modern.
As for the characters' views on religion / gender / sexuality, etc. - well, it's a universe whose dominant religion is concerned with the use of magic and led by a female holy figure, where demons and spirits regularly appear out of rifts in the sky, and four vastly different races co-exist on the same continent, so... I give the game some leeway when it presents a world which doesn't exactly mirror the historical attitudes and prejudices of our own
(though it's obvious where the game is trying to draw parallels to modern conflicts and questions).I love it when everything comes together with the MP. Just finished a game where, in the final wave, the Legionnaire was front and center in the battle, while I, as a Hunter, laid down Elemental Mines, which allowed me, an Archer, and a Keeper (who used Barrier whenever possible) to fall back behind the mines and attacked from afar. And the surprising thing, no mics were used.
1/3 or so.

People called Romanes they go the house?
He's not actually always there, it's based off of the "power for a price' war room advisor quest.
I got the same dialog. I figured it was because in the keep I
chose to have the old god baby with Morrigan.

That can only be referring to (DAO spoilers)
the dark ritual with Morrigan. IIRC Alistair performs it when the Warden is female though, so I'm not sure how that works...
And yeah, Alistair hasn't looked like himself at all in either DA2 or DAI.
Bioware really seemed to struggle to even get Leliana, Cassandra, and a couple other recurring characters even half-right.

BioWare really fails at recreating old Origins characters, whether it was going into DA2 or Inquisition. Obviously they'll look higher fidelity now but they just fail at recreating the basic facial features and size/shape for most of the returning Origins characters.

This just proves that their character creation tools are bad! (Which is concidentally why all of my characters look weird.)
And no, don't link me to the "show off your Inquisitor" thread. I don't want to feel sad this early in the day.
Forbidden oasis especially. and crestwood after you clear the rifts are incredible graphically. Love the graphics in this game. So many small details that make it that more immersive. 45 hours in and I've only been in 5 areas. Can't get enough.

Morrigan looks GOOD though, better than most other characters in the game if you ask me.
That is really funny then because I persuaded him to do it. I guess I can pretend he is bitter about the break up.
He looks better here than in 2 but, yeah, still not like himself. Most of the past characters are misses although I think Varric is one of the few that looks fine.
I didn't play that DLC.
