Yeah that's tough. I tend to always default to roguesOriginally Posted by Scotty_ffgamer
First play through, I romanced Anders cause I had DA:A feels. I was dissapoint.
Second playthrough: Sebastian! I wanted to corrupt the Church boy. :] That one was fun and sweet but doesn't go anywhere.
Thrid Playthrough: Fenris. He's dark and broody.
Haven't tried isabella yet. But That would require a 4th playthrough and I'm a bit WoW: Legion obsessed as of late.
Anders is my precious child but I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea. He's like my all time fave though, I have a great deal of feels about him and relate to him a lot, I don't even care if he's a big melodramatic trash nerd
Edit: Merrill is honestly the sweetest, you all should be romancing her, honestly!
Pumpkin, do you plan on playing Inquisition next?
The worst thing in DA2 is that you can't side with the Arishok.
I challenged him to a manly duel and beat him rather easily as a rogue, he is very vulnerable to all those misdirection-type skills.
If Isabela comes back, you can kinda side with him. I did on my first run. She is partly to blame for all this after all so I handed her over. Of course the Arishok still doesn't get a happy ending and that pisses me off.
The Arishok is hardest against Two-Handed Warrior. 2H Warrior is all about strength but it doesn't matter because the Arishok is made of adamantium or something. His defense is insane and all your super amazing and devastating attacks won't do anything against him. In fact, I recall sometimes attacking him and "I" got stunned as a result, like my sword just bounced off him.
Mage annihilates him though and I have yet to face him as a Rogue.
There's a way you can get the Arishok to leave peacefully but I've yet to actually pull that one off, I always end up fighting him. Same with how I always end up accidentally keeping Leliana a hardened murderpope in Inquisition.
Getting the Arishok to go in peace is quite simple; have enough Friendship with Isabela that she comes back, but then agree to hand her over to the Qunari.
She gets mad.
However you will end up losing Isabela at that point doing it that way.
But I don't want the Arishok to leave in peace. I want the Arishok to burn this stupid human city to the ground, because they are all unworthy of the Qun.
Just beat 2 and moved on to Inquisition myself. I'm really not sure what to expect for this game, which is pretty exciting. I already knew pretty much everything that happened in 2, so I'll be happy to be surprised.
Inquisition was actually the hardest of the three to get into for me, it felt really different compared to the other two in the series. I still liked it but it was my least fave of all of them. That said I'm playing it for the second time currently and it's more enjoyable the second time around.
Agreed with Pike that I liked Inquisition the least. Just felt kinda dull. That being said I should play it a second time as I only zoomed though it once and put it aside.
Agreed. I really liked it when I first played it, but on reflection, I do see very definite, visible flaws which is why I gave it a 7/10, which surprised me, to be honest.
The problem were side-quests. They were poorly implemented, largely resulting in 'find letter in field, head to location, end'. Many side-quests involved little to no actual human interaction at all, and those that did pretty much amount to 'please help me'. There was no way to ruthlessly reject them or pursue any other option besides... doing it. I remember being able to bribe people in DA: II and Origins, get out of fights peacefully, and other varied interactions. Inquisition is probably the most on-rails adventure in the series, which makes for a tighter narrative but it felt very restrictive.
The main story was great, but main missions ended with a rather binary 'support [x] or [y]' choice, as opposed to the many wonderful ways missions could end in the earlier games.
I hope they bring it back to DA: II levels for the fourth game. I'd play Inquisition again, but it is an absolute chore going through large areas finding things and it felt rather 'going through the motions'. Strangely for a wide open RPG it felt very difficult getting that 'first run' feeling again.
Not to discourage you Pumpkin to play it, it is well worth it in the end and the story is gripping.

To be honest, I haven't even finished inquisition. I played 1, awakening, and 2 several times and loved all of it. I just got so bored with inquisition
I didn't have any of these issues with Inquisition being "boring." You can skip sidequests that don't interest you. It would be better if more of them were good, but they're really just filler on top of the game.
