Sadly the Tactical camera is still shit, [...]
Yeah, it really is a goddamn shame! I'd love to bump up the difficulty and play the majority of the game in the tactical view, but I just can't get used to it. It's just so bad.
Currently I use the tactical view maybe 5-10% of the time, mainly to fix AI fuck ups lol.
The only problem I see is that this only works on your second playthrough. You have to know in advance that all of this is sh*t, so you can blow it off without wondering if you are missing something.
Yeah, no doubt I'm missing a bunch of stuff, lore-wise especially. I did try to really focus and read the books and whatnot but man, I just can't get into them. I know it's a bit of a lazy word to use as a criticism, but after reading a good amount of fantasy books, I find the DA world just too... Generic for me to care about it.
But it works for my big black guy. He doesn't care about the world or its inhabitants or history either. He cares just enough to save the world, which is obviously just another day at the office for him.
e: Not sure if I'm understanding the active skills 100%. All of them have 2 passive upgrades you can buy, but can you only have one of them active at a time? I thought the "toggle upgrade" button prompt was weirdly worded, but now I see that the other upgrade is greyed out when the other one is selected, so I guess you can only have one of them active? If so... I've wasted a ton of skill points lmao.
e2: also goddamn the main villain looks dumb haha. Can't quite tell if they were going for the edgy, cool look, but the color choices would certainly support that theory. He has a great voice though. Very menacing.
