Yeah I spent a lot of time running around in circles on that one. It was a really nice change of pace though.

Yesterday's patch made the search functionality a lot better...now, you get a ping on your radar for any thing in the area, and they glow for a lot longer than before.

how do you get good loot?
i've been doing all the quests and haven't found anything good.

also, does it take a long time to level?
I think I put in around 8 hours and still only at level 5.

best loot is easily from dragons or high level crafts that you will not even have access to until later in the game. I also usually found good loot from bosses, but honestly I did not see real good stuff until about level 10.

and to add to your other question, yes leveling up is slow, but I felt the progression suited the game very well. (it took me at least 50 hours to get to level 20)

I don't know if this is a regular price, but Amazon has this for $39.99 (instead of the $59.99 I've seen everywhere else).

I meant to delete another character I had started that I didn't intend to continue. From the load screen you can go to switch character, then delete character. From there characters are distinguished by tiny class icons and name, and the character name was the same. I hit the wrong one.

In the grand scheme of things it wasn't the end of the world. Maybe 5-6 hours of progress.

oh, I didn't even know you could selectively delete characters. Probably because I only have one, haha.

I am really liking the game 12 hours in but the inventory system is annoying. I guess a lot of the stuff you pick up is useless and can be "bulk sold" in your "valuables" chart. BUT! some things you don't want to sell, that you need for quests, go into "valuables" automatically. So it defeats the purpose of bulk selling because you don't want to sell items you need accidentally.

Yeah, it worked better in Origins. You had a trash category and nothing was in there unless you put it there.

Good loot: Some of the caves/Boss level guys have good loot. Also I've had good success crafting good items that end up better than loot

level: I've put in about 46 hours and I am at level 15.

Matching WalMart. I built a game PC because it seemed that PC games were always cheaper. So naturally, the PC version is $10 more than any console. Perfect. -rolleyes-

That's a crappy inventory system. Skyrim had a great system where if you tried to sell an important quest item it would stay locked and an alert message popped up telling you.

Can you recover the items again if you mess up?

I am not sure if you can recover...I usually just scroll through the valuables selling individually and don't sell anything with a note for it. The notes usually reads something like "this is a XX, bring it to so and so for information".

I should probably just stop doing "select all" when I pick up loot and only take what I need but that sounds time consuming, haha.

EDIT: it mostly seems to be stuff so far that is pretty common but it would still be annoying if you had to collect 20 of something and accidentally sold 18 of them before you complete the quest.

Holeee Sh8t that is annoying, they have things that are useful (Such has element essences things like that, you are suppose to take it for research). Dump into the Valuables tab with basically junk. I always have to now remember to scroll through to make sure I don't sell important stuff. ANNOYING.

No. also crappy (I had accidently purchased something, but there was no way to fix that.)

I do enjoy that we don't have repair. Love that.

They should have a setup like FarCry 4 (and others) where you can hit one button to quick sell just the junk/unneeded items.

Well, yes. You just have to re-buy it from the buyback screen. It goes away after awhile, though.

Totally enjoying the game. I did exploit the influence trick however to get all the Inquisition perks I wanted.

What's the influence trick?

tlwizard 12-13-14 04:05 PM

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition
 
At Skyhold, there's a merchant across from the Orlesian lady. You can buy a book which nets you influence. But if you buy it and then immediately sell it back (before leaving the buy/sell screen) you can get a bunch of influence. You can buy/sell and repeat as much as you want to max out your influence.

So I have some awesome daggers, and I want to have Cole in my party. I already swapped out Solas for Vivenne (I wanted Knight Enchanter spec in party instead of rift mage). I want to swap out Cole for Varric, but How smart would it to be to slide in Cole as high DPS dagger, instead of Varric as archery DPS. Would I lose the 'crowd control' aspect of Varric over more DPS from Cole?

My party is 2H Warrior (Me)
Cassandra (Tank Sword & shield)
Vivenne (Mage - Knight Enchanter)
Varric (Rogue - Archer)
