r/DragonAgeInqusition

Im currently at level 7 and have gotten to starting in your heart shall burn. Im playing on nightmare with walk softly, even ground, take it slow and grizzly end. Its been a struggle but i appreciate it for how it exposes all the complexity in the game in terms of gear and progression.

My problem right now is that i just cant get through in your heart shall burn. While defending the ballista i get whacked either by the second group or, at best the third. Theres this issue where the party AI is constantly trying to hug eachother, leading to my mages getting oneshot by fatass templars who have a bar of guard immediately. Its hard to say for me what exactly is the reason. Things can go well and then, in a moment, half the party gets one-shot and im left clumsily trying to do something with whoevers left.

My inquisitor is a two-handed warrior with the chain pull, the spin riposte that knocks enemies down and the ground pound that knocks down enemies. Im using a sword and shield Blackwall with the taunting shout, charge, hook and warhorn. I doubled up on mages with Vivienne, who has the immolate with the no cooldown upgrade, dispel, barrier and barrage. Solas has barrage, barrier, winters grasp and ice wall, as well as the passive that causes barriers to explode and freeze. All of them are wearing crafted gear with mods for base stats (strength, magic, constitution). Vivienne is using the wrath of Lovias and Solas is using the dreamweavers staff and the two warriors use crafted weapons. All have crafted upgrades slotted.

Im considering rebounding and doing filler in the hinterlands and the coast to hopefully reach level 8. I suppose i could minmax my gear more by grinding materials, but short of what ive done now, i dont know what kinds of stat packages are optimal for crafting results. I do have all the recipes from redcliff purchased.

Id appreciate any feedback, explanations and elaborations. I get its aspirational content and i can "just lower the difficulty and increase it back latter" but i dont wanna. Its tedious and frustrating but even so i wanna do it.

Does anyone hate when you're fighting a giant in Emerald Graves and your magic bursts from your wand randomly hitting a Bronto nearby and now you have to fight all those fucking Brontos AND the giant at the same time.

That shit is so annoying.

After 12 years and 2400+ hours, I finally found the "surprise" while entering Solas's room in Skyhold.

No spoilers.  You just have to be lucky.

Im replaying Inquisition for the first time in years. And im trying to decide Mages or Templars. and basing the decision mostly on information my Inquisitor knows, not what I, the Player, knows.

Ive always sided with the Templars in the past despite their actions in Kirkwall and other Circles, partly because having people trained to fight magic is usually a good thing and partly because "hey lets add a ton of Magic to this hole on reality" sounds like a TERRIBLE idea.

but im curious, why would your Inquisitors side with the mages?

i Downloaded it on steam and every time i try to open it it tempts to launch for 3 seconds and then just nothing happens. i tried the run as administrator. but it did not work either. maybe i did it wrong but pls help me. thank you

Wasn't sure which flair to use. Hopefully this works.

Working on a fanfic and I'm realizing I have no real idea how big either country is, which is important information I need in order to work out travel times and such. I've tried doing some Google searches but all I've turned up are fan estimations. Maybe because that's all there is, but I figured I'd ask here just to be sure.

Alright so this last round of inquisition that I played I had ported over all my choices from origins and 2, everything branched over right. All my choices were present for the most part. Then I noticed something 106 hours in. I had done the dark ritual with Morrigan but Kieran wasn’t present which confused me. I figured it may have been a bug. I just checked my codex for my HOF, and it wasn’t my hero of Fereldan. I played as a Male Surana who romanced Zevran and performed the dark ritual with Morrigan to save his own skin. Instead it was a the martyr Dalish elf port that’s automatic if you haven’t played the previous games. It was such a smack to the face because everything else had ported properly EXCEPT FOR MY HERO HIMSELF. Now I’m furious. I’m not going to redo the entire playthrough but I am fuming over this. I have another playthrough going at the moment on a completely different world state so the second I can check about my other HOF porting properly I’m going to.

(Edit): The new run worked and my second HOF ported properly! I’m so happy to share that my Aeducan warden has made her way to inquisition. I know the warden has very very minimal impact but it meant the world to me to see her mentioned. I used my Aeducan warden instead this time, and it worked out. >!Unfortunately this does mean I will be leaving Hawke in the fade. I can’t leave my girls husband Alistair behind it would be rude after all the work to get her into the worldstate.!<

So I decided to romance Blackwell on my first play-through NO SPOILERS PLEASE !! >!we just got together that’s genuinely how far I am in the relationship!< >!🙏🏾!<>!. Idk something about an older man with a difficult past (who also doesn’t think he deserves the affection he receives ) just does it for me. Maybe that’s why I was in love with!< Arthur Morgan too 😭

I'm level 11 and my party and I (me, a mage, Dorian, Iron Bull and Cassandra) keep dying and getting overwhelmed during the retaking of the south trebuchet.

Since this is the second fight, after the defending the north trebuchet, my party and I are all at half health walking into this south trebuchet fight with two health potions left. The second wave of that fight is always where we die.

There's supply caches but I can't seem to interact with them to refill on health potions. Like, there's nothing to click on.

Because this is a main quest I don't have the luxury of choosing to leave and do something else.

I've never been great at video games and I've never played a DA game until now, but I'm just a bit frustrated at consistently dying at this one spot.

Any advice, please?
