Game Impressions and Some Tips (Dragon Age: Inquisition)
I started playing Dragon Age: Inquisition recently, just the time came, I got my hands on it, plus I updated the configuration of the computer (and successfully left apple products forever). Let's face it, having played nothing at all, the ideas of the ME series are very visible: the first DAO - the introduction of a new project from the developers, new mechanics, the fight against a common globally destroying enemy, the selection of allies, research and acquaintance with the world (it was also in the first ME); DA2 - bringing to a new level, fine-tuning of many things to mind (many DA2 did not like it allegedly due to the loss of style), a new plot supposedly connecting DAO and DA3, etc. unknown capable of destroying the world, the development of the forces and influence of the Inquisition (what is not the collection of resources and the accumulation of troops in ME3). I watched a lot of reviews from all kinds of "mega surveyors" of dubious appearance, such as Logvinov, etc., who shouted with all their might that the game was not worthy of attention and time. Once again I was convinced that it is useless to listen to the corrupt left-wing reviewers until I have made up my own mind. In general, at this stage, I am satisfied with the game (I almost finished all the quests in the first explored location; I accepted a robber, a gray guard and an imperial sorceress into the squad).Obvious shortcomings:
1. Quests in which they reproach that there are many robbers are a little enraged, although the location has already been cleared to zero and all the camps and the influence of the Inquisition on these lands are at the maximum.
2. Maybe I have not yet found how it is being corrected, but keeping the right mouse button pressed all the time so that the camera rotates normally on the sides is nonsense.
3. It is rather inconvenient that in the Shelter there is no possibility to change the equipment of the party members right on the spot, you have to craft and run through the passage - this is also annoying.
Similarities:
1. In terms of the quest component, the fullness of the world, the world itself and a bunch of tasks, it reminded me personally of Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning.
Advice:
1. Many advise to immediately run to set up camps - my personal opinion is that it is better to clear the location without this nonsense, and it is more interesting and do not miss any important places, and your eyes will not scatter from the abundance of quests and places of visit.
2. I advise you to install the DLC Black Shop - it has general and legendary sketches and most of the resources for crafting if you are too lazy to collect, plus gear for 16-18 levels of all classes is sold. My whole party runs around in crafted clothes from a black store and does not steam.
3. Walk more with your legs. There are a lot of all sorts of secret places and secondary collectible items, quests and other sweets in the locations.
4. Be sure to carry at least one horn to the party - there are closed doors behind which there is a collected item, good loot or the beginning of a new quest, or even a monster sits behind which will give decent experience or the influence of the Inquisition.
5. It is better to craft equipment. I do not know how it is in the later stages, but so far, everyone is running around in a crafted from legendary sketches from a black store. For example: two mage staffs with UVs 180 and 217, two-handed for the Gray Guard 390, a sword for Cassandra 240, two daggers for Sera, 314 each. Gear for protection and other attribute characteristics is also all close to 200, or even passes for it.
6. Completed several quests for mounts (mounts) and rode them. To admit honestly what their meaning is not clear. It looks like just entertaining content so as not to throw kakahami that nothing new, or as an option "herd" - in all new RPGs of this level there are mounts. Honestly, if I were in the Biovar team, I would give an idea about the variety of mounts - many different animals are unique in their own way, with their own characteristics such as speed, armor, the ability to fight on it, cross-country ability, the ability to fly or overcome some obstacles, mountain kind or plain. It would be quite possible to tame some mountain saber-toothed tiger and on it the passability over rocky terrain would be advantageous, and horses would feel better on the roads,

In principle, I agree, only this is how, in the racially faithful Cullen, you saw a gay when he is 100% straight, I xs. The bull is violet, he plays on two fields, but for the whole game, he hints very subtly about this a couple of times, but the fact that your GG had notes of clayey, so I have no idea, I went through the game and did not notice this.
But what really upset was the draining of Dorian's personal quest, where an incredibly charismatic character was brought to the banal: "I love men, dad scolds me for that" ... damn, well, seriously, why is all this? Yes, it is possible that some eccentrics who have the same problems in real life as our Tevinter magician were very worried and cried at this place, but I am far from this topic and this moment was more likely to irritate me, because there was such a grandiose space for the quest line, but it turned out to be an inappropriate banality.
The gay tendencies of the main character appear in dialogues if you sweeten with Solas in the first conversations. And Cullen can be constantly comforted starting with Skyhold, especially when he starts having problems with weaning from lyrium. It's just that after almost every mission I ran through the allies in order to pryndet and learn something new (a habit from ME).
By the way, I saw a lot of questions on the forum on the search for certain resources or quarries with logging. Tip 1: use the radar more often (I have a 6-button mouse and I scan the area all the time - it helps a lot to find many hidden things, treasures, chests, etc.). Tip 2: at the command rate, I don't remember who in the perks has a skill that opens all location points - after acquiring a perk, points of location of quarries, logging, etc. will appear at all locations under the question mark.

Well, a male character, with any voice acting, whines like a beaten dog, yes.
about gays, in general, there is a complete nonsense, there is only one open - this is Dorian, if you roll up to Cullen - he says "I'm sorry, but friendship and nothing more", Bull - in general, tells himself what he was taught there in Bene, but if you do not roll up to him - nothing will happen)) who was there talking about Cullen? Go instructed yourself mods for bi Cullen?)) And now such "oh he is a bisexual bitch, he did not look at my Inquisitors" = -))
crap)) this part, compared to the second, is much more adequate in this regard, although the second is also dialogue with Anders did not seem imposing to me))
Play on the gamepad - there will be happiness) no, really, I passed Inqua on the keyboard and now on the joystick - in general, paradise)

I agree - Dorian's quest is drained, although the emotional component is not as bad as it seemed, but personally I would have captured Dorian and tried to carry out the ritual again, and then the Inquisitor bursts in and rushes the batch))
