Dragon Age 3

[Andrew Lucas]

While I love Cassandra, Leliana was made the new Divine, mostly because of my choices through the game. I would support both, even knowing that Cass being the new Divine has the possibility of cooling down the relationship with my Quizzy. I'm happy with Leli tho, she fits the role, her friend, The Hero Of Ferelden, approve it as well.


And damn...Morrigan didn't lost any of her beauty since DAO

*sighs* I need to control my Warden for one last time. It's not impossible Bioware

I've spent 60 hours so far and i'm completely overwhelmed by the amount of content in this to the point that i can't sit down for a while without taking a break. What's everyones play time, for those who have completed it?

 

[Andrew Lucas]

My first playthrough took me 60+ hours to finish most of the quests. My current one is at 110+ hours of gameplay.

Tip : Most of the fetch quests don't change anything to the story, actually, they don't. You don't need to complete every single one. You can always finish the game and complete those quests then, minus the companions ones since you can't continue them after the game is over.

 

[bored]

That's good, because I've been holding off on advancing the last few main plot missions so that I could spend time completing side quests and hunting high dragons*.

*If it isn't obvious, I had to hold off a while before I could start my initial playthrough. I'm using male warrior Trevelyan, recruited the Templars, saved the Chargers and Hawke, and am romancing Cassandra.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Don't worry, the Dragons stays for the aftermath and the grand majority of the side quests as well along with the fade rifts. They don't change the ending at all. Take your time.

 

[RichardRider]

That's a relief. I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to games like this.

 

[Nathan]

Started my 2nd playthrough. Taking my time now to clear all locations before moving on.

I'm one as well, but hey, at least there's a lot of content to finish on this game

I'm 60-something hours in and I'm completing side quests. Next big marker on the map is the one after meeting Hawke. Think it's Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts? Shouldn't be too long left. I'm waiting to finish this before starting Assassins Creed.

I'm not sure, but I think it's "In Our Hearts It Shall Burn", the rest is spoiler tho Hmm, I think that there's at least 10 hours for you to finish the main storyline. Enjoy the ride.

I'll check it when I can. Might just finish the main story this weekend and do the rest later. I'll let you know how that goes though!

After reading about how much of a buggy, horrible mess DA3 is on the PC i'm glad I dodged that bullet. I almost upgraded my PC to play that and Far Cry 4 but ended up getting another PS4 instead. I think it was a good choice. I was actually considering upgrading later this year until I read this and the issues with frame rate on Far Cry...now I've changed my mind. :/ Sooooo done with PC gaming.

I supported Leliana and ended up getting Vivienne ... I never once told her she'd be a good Divine. I even didn't do her task, I questiomed her and didn't trust her and she was like forget it. I never agreed with her.
I did all the Mage siding and made Leliana not always a killer (when you stop from killing that Natalie)

Was so didsappionted. I didn't like Vivienne.

 

[Nathan]

Man, I hate recreating our "special ally" always from scratch. I always waste so much time, trying to get the face right. The next game needs to let you save and upload face templates.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Finishing this game for the second time made me go back to Origins and damn... It only gets better after each playthrough. Can't wait for some DLC for DAI, I'm craving for one.

I'm glad I liked the default preset in DA2. All I had to do was make some hair and makeup tweaks to her.

I never came across any game-break bugs in the 60 hrs I put in. Just some stuff where the audio was off or I couldn't switch party members (required a re-start). I like the game but it really needed more polish and I don't get how they could have overlooked something as simple as an option to change your character's appearance after starting.

The most disappointing thing is how stripped down the game is compared to what they showed off at the 2012 E3 demo. They made it seem like enterting a new area would have a quest you had to address immediately and have a choice you had to make with consequences. However, that's completely gone and there weren't many choices outside of the conclusions of main quests.

You did the War Table mission, correct? If so, then that has to be a bug.

I liked the preset face in DA2 too, that's exactly the reason I hate the face in Inquisition. It looks nothing like her.

Well, it's a totally new engine and there wasn't any direct import options besides the Keep. But I managed to recreate her in a way that satisfied me, pale skin, bright blue eyes, and that charming black hair. I like it

 

[X Knight]

just curious, but when you have to recreate you know who in DAI, can you choose from the hairstyles available in DA2 or are you limited to the styles available in DAI?

I can only say for my female character, her default hair from DA2 isn't in DAI, and I'm pretty sure that most of the hairstyles from DA2 aren't back to DAI since there's a lot of people complaining about the lack of good choices in the character creator. So yeah, you're limited to the hairstyles available in DAI.

 

[X Knight]

^ ah thanks.

 

[bored]

For the male version (side note: why are we not saying

Spoiler

Hawke

? bioware said they'd appear in the game long before it was released), the hair and beard were ALMOST the same as the previous game's preset, but shaggier, and with a sheen that I thought looked like it was a touch of grey, which I actually thought made sense. Gives you the sense that time has passed.

 

[Nathan]

Well, it's a totally new engine and there wasn't any direct import options besides the Keep.

I know they couldn't just import her look, but at least they could have tried to get it right. But it almost looks like they simply hit some random face generator button.

Re-created her by following someone else's template. The person did some great work.

[Andrew Lucas]

That's pretty much the same as mine, expect for the pale skin and bright blue eyes.
