I wanna play this but far cry 4 too. Don't know which to dedicate my time T.T

Can hd7850 handle this? I'd need to overclock a little more to meet cpu recommendation

A tip: If monsters have skulls (or whatever icon it is?) you are too low for them which will result in hard battles. Happened to me after I stayed too long in the Hinterlands, like someone else said earlier here.

I remember in DA:O friendly fire was always on no matter what difficulty (if im remembering correctly). I couldn't imagine this game with nightmare+friendly fire lol, would be insanely hard.

DAO had a FF setting i think.

I remember most people telling me how op their storm of the century/fireball/paralysis explosion is when we FF people used cone of cold and sleep and stuff.

Also, pride demon fight was easy peasy on nightmare with my archer, i consider going melee rogue for the extra challenge.

The press this dialogue option to make progress toward boning has always been the weakest part of Bioware games. They really need to work on that aspect of the game. IT was cute with Mass Effect, but now its just weird. Break the mold and make the main character married or something crazy.

Always felt their "romances" was either an attempt at appearing progressive or pleasing kids.

The writing for them has always been shitty and hamfisted which clearly annoys me. And then it's fucking in panties... not so progressive after all.

i successfully ignored all romances in all games, they seem very optional.

Only "romance" i ever did in a bioware game was sleeping with morrigan, but that was the only rationale choice to make because otherwise i had a good chance of needing to die to that archdemon. Or one of my friends.

Sure it can be skipped at least. Didn't one of their game give you bonuses if you started a "relationship" though ?

Im level 7 in Fallow Mire, am i under-leveled? Im doing ok, but got to the 2nd rift, and jesus im getting RAPED. The war table did not show any level requirement for the area, so i just went in. Its kind of frustrating imo when you can only clear a certain portion of a map area because for some reason some baddies are just too high level. Or im just bad lol.

I like the idea of a married main character, if they're an essential part of the story, without them leaving or dying with no way to prevent it. I'm sure they'd try to make it interesting or "strike a balance," as if family dying was some essential part of hero stories. Granted, it always seemed awfully stupid to me to watch Buffy on TV and most of the adults were oblivious to the terrors haunting the town. Similarly, it might be really awkward to save the world while your parents are going to yard sales.

Furthermore, I can imagine bringing family on the journey or whatever, and you get a typical Bioware decision where you save papa or save 10,000 asari or some such.

But I still like the idea -_- Besides, you could have relationships that don't give sex as the ultimate reward, and it probably shouldn't be viewed that way anyway. The advertising for DAI makes the relationships sound more natural and meaningful, and hopefully not, "press the button with a heart icon until you're in the sack together." They've talked up their great innovations + Show Spoiler +

(+1 Gumba points?)

before, though, so I'm guessing it's not all that great.

Lol played 8 hours straight without even realizing it, i cant remember the last game i played that held my attention for so long in 1 sitting. Now to take care of my stupid bodily functions, eating and such, damn our weak bipedal bodies, wish i was a robot.

The opening scene where you take the mountain pass gives me dones of vibes to the "this is war" trailer for DAO. I wish I could zoom out with the minimap and then zoom out more with tactical view.

Otherwise I don't see the kb-m problems that people are talking about. pressing r to attack while wasding is pretty nice I think.

Still dont know how to stop that insane achievement sound though

My first solution was muting entire origin on the windows "volume mixer" or whatever it is called in english windows.

Works perfect for me at least.

There's also this from a reddit thread

"The immersion-breaking achievement sound which was 5 times louder than any of the Dragon Age audio was getting on my nerves. Here's how to disable it:
1. Go to the 'sounds' folder in your EA Origin installation directory: e.g. "C:\Program Files\Origin\sounds".
2. Delete or rename "Achievement.wav".
3. Be at peace."

And apparently, you can replace that .wav with any sound you want. I recommend + Show Spoiler +

Eh I just finished an Astrarium and nothing happened. Does the order in which you do them matter? 100% sure it's done. Might just be a bug...

edit: NVM the 100%, I actually got one line wrong.. lol

Loving this game. Have minor issues with controls and interface, but the semi open world style works for me.

No FF on casual/normal, 50% on hard, 100% on nightmare.

ok so i had to turn FF off since apparently arrows and melee swings can friendly fire too, which is a bit too annoying to deal with for me.

having a fireball kill my rogue is one thing, but dodging my own warriors auto-cleaving melee attacks all game is a bit too much.

Ok, I oficially already love this game. Not as brilliant as DAO, but far superior to DA2, which I don't think is a bad game (it's just mediocre). Worst case scenario, it'll keep me busy til GTA V and, at long last, The Witcher 3.

played for two hours last night, tried rogue first then did mage as it seemed mage has better dps, though it seems rogue will do more dps later in the game. anyone messed around with dragonagekeep? i think i will mess with that and start a new game but i have no idea how it effects the events in the game.

I romanced Liara in ME1 and Bastila in KotOR :p otherwise it felt always way too forced.
