I'm at level 10 and it says to go to the war room and investigate combat techniques or something which I assume is for the specialization... What the hell am I supposed to do there is nothing on the table?

Hahaha, yeah. I rotate my party members regularly and I highly regret bringing her into
teleported to the future
It feels like she's just there to feel a quota or something. I mean:
Cassandra: one of the leading figureheads of the Inquisition and basically the one that kickstart the whole Inquisition business.
Solas: most probably the mage with the highest amount of knowledge regarding the Fade.
Blackwall: a battle-hardened Grey Warden.
Considering the presence of Corypheus...
Iron Bull: a Qunari hardened warrior with his own very capable team of warriors...
who also doubled as a Qunari Spymaster.
Cole: a spirit in human form that is truly one of a kind.
Sera...........? A... person that is good at making nonsensical statements? I am not even sure her
being part of Friends of Red Jenny
there is a mission to call the trainers to skyhold
Leave Skyhold entirely, then come back and the marker should appear on the left-side of the Ferelden half of the table.
EDIT: Make sure your Diplomacy option isn't on a job too, it can't be done by the other two.

Argh, is there a way to view restrictions on schematic when buying? I just purchased the Orlesian Scout Armor (tier 2 medium) from a vendor in Val Royeaux for ~3K gold only to find out that since I'm an elf I couldn't wear it due to "human-trained restriction". Like wtf?
Luckily I had a save in the city before I made the purchase but I'm still kind of ticked off.
Speaking of racial restrictions I've also encountered other armor pieces that my character couldn't wear such as adventurer armor.
I swear late game better be filled with all elf-trained restrictions to make up for it.

I have Dorian, Blackwall, and Iron Bull in my party. Kinda feels odd not having any girls, but....
Cassandra is boring
Sera is annoying
Vivienne... well, I don't need another mage and I like Dorian better.
Also, why don't maximum health items seem to increase the "health" stat bar?
And some more questions:
Right now, Blackwall has the Champion skill tree
Cassandra has teh Templar skill tree.
How come Iron Bull just has the basic warrior stuff?

chapter 2 mid to (possibly) end spoilers:
I finished the quest at adamant fortress and the one where you choose the next ruler for orlais (gaspard, celene, briala). Got the eluvian cutscene with morrigan after visiting the war room. I know where I have to go, but I can't get there. The location mentioned is not on the map in the war room. In fact I don't have any of the green main-story obelisks on it. what to do?

To be fair, not every member in an RPG needs to have thematic ties to the plot or importance. They just need interesting characterization and/or backstory. Cole's rationale to join the Inquisition is also pretty flimsy; you just happen to like his reason-of-being but not Sera's (while it's the other way around to some). Heck, Leliana in the first game really has no business tagging along with the Warden other than "God tells me to follow you."
Cole's actually a walking easter egg.
I'm waiting for some hardcore redditor to decipher his banter.

Fair enough.
But at the very least Cole brings something unique to the table. Sera? Not so much.

So apparently there's side romances in addition to the main ones. I was doing the romance quest for Josephine and was able to sleep with some random quest npc along the way
How do you dupe? I could use infinite Essences of Perfection.
the masked lady to get your way with whatever you wanted? I did that too, but I was still courting Josie at the time, I wasnt involved. im loyal!
theres actually some neat details with the romance.
Josie called me her love during the card game for example, you can dance with her at the end of the empress ball quest
If you get the 'Short List' perk from Connections, there's a Keeper's Robe from the Elven vendor in Exalted Plains. Only good if you're a Mage though.

How come after romancing josephine I didn't get the trophy? Is there another requirement?

But honestly what's the deal with racial restrictions? Well I can understand some racial restrictions but for the majority of armor you want to wear that you encounter in the beginning of the game? Such BS.

If I'm in the
area, how much more do I have left? Around 22 hours in and still have a bunch to do there but I decided to go forth with the
quest that may be a bit too high leveled for me..
Starting to feel like the game is dragging a bit for me honestly although I'm still enjoying my time with it.

Leliana atleast helps you in a fight and proves herself. Sten and Zevran make no sense joining, one was a convicted murderer in a cage and the other was an assassin that tried to kill us personally, and we let them both tag along without worrying "could this person kill me while I sleep tonight?" as any rational being would. But hey, its a Bioware game, gotta recruit 'em all. Guilty.
Had an epic fight with the Dragon in Hissing Wastes. Little did I know that halfway through he would start bringing in minions. Wrecked me the first time and I died about 20 minutes in. I had to rethink my strategy. I had him down to about 1/3 of his life at my second attempt, when things went to the shitter again when he called for his minions and I'm pretty sure I was about to die like 15 times. I somehow managed to stay alive and occasionally revive my stupid companions. Cassandra usually stayed alive during the other Dragon fights, but not this one. Holy shit, finally took him down after 30 minutes. Felt so good!
However, do any of the Dragons in the last area (snowy area) have minions?

How close am I to recruiting Dorian if I've just got Viv, Sera, Blackwall etc?
Dorian is part of the main quest, but I think you should be close.

You will have to make the choice between Mages and Templars to get him (and Cole).

It will never happen.
And I think romancing Ironbull is like bestiality but you don't hear me complain. :/
Also, what about irl midgets? Idk how serious he was about that age thing...

I wish we could romance Scout Harding. She's cute.
Dorian will come very early on, before you get Skyhold.

A girl I knew had a thing for the Tetley Tea Folk, which often reared its head in the kind of gentleman she chose to go out with.

Repost for new page:
How come after romancing josephine I didn't get the trophy? Is there another requirement? Do you have to develop it more than just getting to the sex point?

Or not. It kinda depends. Slight early game spoilers:
Early on you'll have to pick a side, mages or templars. If you pick mages, Dorian joins right away(well during that part), Cole joins in Skyhold. If you pick templars, it's the contrary, Cole joins right away, Dorian joins in Skyhold. Note that assuming you have the power for it, Skyhold unlocks fairly soon after.

Either he or Cole join you at the final mission of Act 1, then both are recruitable at Skyhold.
For dragons I think 2 tanks is almost required. Well, not really... But it makes those fights a lot more manageable.
2 tanks, one mage, one rogue. Preferably if you are the one controlling the rogue. Because the AI is terrible with rogues.
You get Dorian one of two ways:
Side with the Mages and get him straight away
side with the Templars and you'll get him at the end of Act One
You will eventually reach a quest for her Heraldry and then another one which I won't spoil which involved an Antivan lord. After that one you get the trophy.

AI is shit but when I tell Sera to hold position she doesn't move.
Dagger rogues are great for dragons. You put a mark on it, deathblow and twin fang, active mark, see a big "9999" damage number.
My Sera had no issues, but her flasks seem wasted as I wasn't controlling her manually.

2 knight enchanters with staves that have elemental damage of the dragon's weakness and black wall should be able to take down any nightmare dragon easily. the 4th character might just as well be a rogue.

Found a bug where I can't heal. The lb ring comes up but I can't use the arrow to make it heal...even out of battle. Anyone else encounter this?
