Dragon Age: Inquisition

[hammerofglass]

I always do the bare minimum in the Hinterlands (the refugee side quests and the cult temple), go straight to the meeting as soon as I can unlock it, then do all the recruitment missions, then do Harric's quests, then the Storm Coast, and only then do the rest of the Hinterlands. I honestly think that was the creators' intention and it was just communicated badly.

The Inquisition's weapons are:
--Fear.
--Surprise.
--Ruthless efficiency.
--An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
--Nice red uniforms (Oh damn!).

I'm honestly surprised so many people bothered with the time clock thing when there was a mod to set all the mission times to one second out almost immediately.

So what exactly was the point of the mission time thing? I don't see any microtransaction thing. The idea that it reflects something in game is absurd given that it doesn't matter if you're doing it while the console is literally off.

I spent alot of time in the Hitherlands lost. Their maps suck very very much.

Btw I am so glad you are sticking to making this review. Thank you, Chuck.
Let's just say watching your reviews has helped alot last year and the start of this year. I have become the caregiver of two adult people in my family. It took me a whole year just to get a ramp installed. Watching your reviews helped me relax when I had time.

Makes me feel lucky I played with a strategy guide.

The map thing is something I have to admit I didn't realize was an issue until I saw the video. I always just saw those slopes as challenges for me to Skyrim Shimmy up rather than a "this is not the path moron" thing the devs likely intended.

Gives a sense of the Inquisition doing other stuff than what you're doing I suppose, adds a bit of a sense of scale. I didn't bother adjusting the clock, I usually just set up some short missions that would finish whilst I was playing and then set some longer ones going when I'd finished for the day.

Some people played the thing on a console.

Immersion. Give you a reason to come back regularly. Keep you from getting all the loot at once. Makes you actually weigh who does what when some of them were WAY faster than others.

Mass Effect 3 had something similar where the online mode effected the main game slowly.

I personally think the time thing wouldn't have been as much of a bother if they were all mostly 10-15 minutes and only the last things on a "mission chain" were an hour long.
