Dude, just play it.
It's not broken or anything.
Whats killing me is the gender honorific issue. Stop calling me madam, and I know its going to mess up romances later >_>
And I did the switching back and forth at creation, didnt prevent the issue.

Exploring Crestwood:
"Oh, a cheese wedge I can loot, cool!"
"It gave me a cheese wedge, as i thou- wait, is that a shield?"
Yes it is.
So far my favorite "easter egg" type thing is the Plants vs. Corpses book.Everyone seems to be enjoying that. I know its a personal favourite of mine.
I don't know if I want to go Knight Enchanter or ranged Tempest on my second play through. Probably Tempest since I want to keep Vivienne in my party over Sara if I had to make the choice.
Have had about four crashes so far. I'm also getting that random pause in the middle of conversations more often, which is really annoying.
It sucks something fierce. Can't see how that big of a bug made it past the team. Surely someone must have played with the american voice.I've plalyed but I'm waiting until I can customize myand keep my American voice, my ocd won't let me play with that thing they call default. Sucks cause I was having so much fun.Hawke

yea, it's really weird.It sucks something fierce. Can't see how that big of a bug made it past the team. Surely someone must have played with the american voice.
It was a good thing I had a save not far before I realized it.I'm playing a male human warrior right now and I picked the American voice... it sounded so overacted but I liked it because it fit with my warrior... then I suddenly noticed around level 11 that I sounded like a whiny jerk. I haaaate the other male option, it sounds so smarmy and gross.
How does masterworks work exactly?
I'm crafting a shield using a dragon tooth that is supposed to give me 40% chance to get a 10% boost on my stats but I tried to craft it like 5 times now and the stats never change.

Really? That's dumb. So basically that rare loot that is supposed to help me make good items has a 60% chance of being worthless?Seed is generated when the item drops. Reload cheating won't work.
When the dragon tooth drops?so basically if I use it once and it doesn't proc I can just get rid of the tooth since it's useless?Seed is generated when the item drops. Reload cheating won't work.

Man, dagger rogues really suck towards the end of the game. Feels like no matter how much armor penetration I have, I do dick all for damage against most enemies.
Might as well ask this now as I'm curious about it and procrastinating. What level should a Knight Enchanter be to take down the Hinterlands Dragon? I just passed into 14 now but my team kind of sucks. Associated with that question, what is a good team for a KE? I love me some Varric but find him near useless on the field. Dorian and Blackwall usually fill up the other two spots.

Keep in mind that it also works the other way around - a 10% chance item will ALWAYS proc if that's the seed it got. Save, test which masterwork item procs, then use that one to craft your expensive armor/weapon.
You aren't doing it right. I was easily hitting for 6k+ with twin fangs/hidden blades if I flanked and this is with the assassin specialization
I practically carried my party damage-wise in the endgame. Tempest makes rogue the second-brokest class in the game.
Not for me. My assassin is really strong. I always go invisible and one shot the toughest enemy before the fight even starts. Great DPS too.
Uh? I do like 6-7k twin fangs without stealth on almost everything, Deathblow for up to 8-10k. I have 100%crit from behind so I autoattack for like 1.5-2k too. Nothing even has near the correct amount of health and armor on nightmare to stay alive more than a couple of seconds against melee rogue. I forced the last boss phase changes in the duration of a single lightning flask, so I don't even know what he does. Generally I have all my team attacking one mob and I can take out 3 or 4 mobs by the time they're done with that one mob. That's not even counting the fact Thousand Cuts can one shot everything in the game.
So we've now determined that Xander just straight up sucks at the game.
Good to know.
14 is good. Also I run with usually one other mage, Solas or Dorian, plus Varric or Cole, and Cassandra or Blackwall.
Setup usually is me, Solas, Cole, Blackwall, or me, Dorian, Varric, and Cassandra.
.
I fought it at 16, I think. Did alright. Keep in mind it's almost a 1-v-1 fight because your party AI is so dumb, they run right into fireballs.
I try to have two mages but I'm getting annoyed with Dorian Necroing enemies that force me to wait until they die so that I can move on. He's a favourite character for sure so I put up with that but I may switch to Solas as my friends have been telling me I really should be bringing him along more. I'm not a fan of Cassandra as a character but I'm also not a fan of Blackwalls specialization.
Yeah, I figured as much. They enjoy burning through the potions and standing in front of projectiles so much so that I was considering soloing it or simply just bringing along another mage.
Thanks, guys!

Okay, so... that's pretty weird, then. I feel like crits just aren't working properly for me, or something, or I'm just missing a key part of how to use assassin skills like an idiot or something. I'm playing on hard, if that matters.
I'm level 16. I have two daggers that do roughly 270DPS each. I have all the skills meant to enhance the use of stealth and crits. Generally, when entering a fight, I'll pop stealth and do a rear/flank attack with either Twin Fangs or Shadow Strike. For whatever reason, this seems to do... nothing, sometimes, or if I'm lucky it'll take a smidgen of health. Theoretically, with say, Shadow Strike, coming out of stealth with Knife in the Shadows should guarantee me... 533% plus 200% stealth bonus plus whatever crit bonus damage is, right?
That's definitely not happening. Unless there's another armor pen stat/mechanic I've somehow managed to ignore entirely, I feel like I'm not doing the damage I should be. It's not like I'm taking on guys I shouldn't be, either - this happens against wolves and crap a few levels below me. I'll take a video example if it can help someone pinpoint what the heck I'm doing wrong.
Err, sorry. You in a bad mood or something?

I'd say, check your stats, there's some bugs with the skill rings so maybe there's bugs with armor pen gear stacking too? If like, you had negative armor pen. Your weapons aren't as good as mine in my example since I was using endgame weapons, but 270 is higher than what I was using at lvl 15 ish and I was one shotting almost everything still at that point. Most mobs don't have much armor at all, especially the mages/archers that you should be targetting first as a rogue, so penetration shouldn't be relevant there, you should do almost full damage regardless, which with these weapons should be like 1.5-2k, enough to one shot them with Twin Fangs.
So just a quick sound off, how many people here are beyond doubt that this will be their GOTY?
I am

Either respec out of spirit, or put the release spell in your tactics menu to preferred so he'll cancel them instantly. You lose on the spirit but still get the dot damage. Alternatively, you can select him and release the spirits manually. I personally didn't have the skill on Dorian, I took Walking Bomb and the rest of the skills were normal mage stuff, I had 1 point barrier for emergency(I had Vivienne being the pure support), the freeze spell and fade step and then all the fire stuff.
I love it, but Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 are right up there with it for my GOTY.So just a quick sound off, how many people here are beyond doubt that this will be their GOTY?

Also matters what Difficulty you are playing on.

Just spent the last couple days in Exalted Plains. Holy hell this zone is dense as hell.

I somehow forgot you could do that. Actually, I had no idea you could be specific with the tactics in Inquisition, I thought it was much more bare boned than that.You can swap to Dorian and cancel Spirit Mark after the battle. I just have it set to never cast in tactics and only use it on the first enemy in a fight though.
You can always respec out of the necromancer stuff, or at least spirit mark. The regular elemental spells are more useful anyways.
