Was it really that hard?

Was it really that hard?

Just read a reddit thread where somebody complained they could barely beat the game on Normal and the devs should've made it easier because apparently one could only ever want to play it "for the story". That post got hundreds of upvotes.

Personally, I didn't have too many problems beating the game on Nightmare and full friendly fire was a pretty cool mechanic that you had to plan for.

Once you discover how broken Dex is the game becomes trivial on even the hardest difficulty.

I solo'd the archedemon on nightmare multiple times.

Game has a high skill floor but a stupidly low skill ceiling. Once you master the basics you could probably play on Nightmare with not much trouble.

Dude was just retarded.

Reddit is retarded what did you expect?

It's tricky to make a viable party on your first playthrough.

The combat system is pretty weird. Essentially you need 1 fighter with max Dexterity for pulling aggro (sword & board, taunts skills), 2 max Magic mages for CC'ing and nuking everything (Frost Cone, Fireball, Mana Clash etc) and maybe 1 rogue for picking locks. Rogues are the hardest to spec, the meta build is max Cunning + those Assassin skills that convert Cunning to extra damage and criticals. Rogues are awesome when built up properly, but they take a while to get going. Non tank fighter builds are all trash and a huge red herring.

Not even remotely challenging before you play on max difficulty and without a party.

>Arcane Warrior
>Shimmering Shield and Fade Shroud
Wooooow game so hard

>not dex/duelist tanking rogue

Started with normal, played on max after I solved the skill system

Yeah it was a bit too hard, that's why they made the sequels much more user friendly.

Arcane warrior breaks the game so much it's not even fun. If you're not a retarded redditor, once you learn the basics you can easily solo nightmare difficulty(or whatever it was called).

Even the biggest retard should be able to beat the base game on normal. The only things you need to know what you're doing for are side shit like those FUCKING revenants you can summon and fight or the superboss.

When "people" whine about difficulty it is a veiled attack on white men.

She was trying to get him to shut up and stop treating her like his grandmother or something.

Every game has shit you can exploit to get through it if you are just playing for the "story" or whatever. Hell with the internet and forums you can just look up the exploits instead of learning them yourself. And yet these lazy fucks still complain. Amazing.

Playing dual wielding spirit warrior with speed boost runes on both weapons was fun.

i remember it had many ways to cheese fights that almost felt like i was cheating, so if they didnt figure that out and put their points in whatever then they mustve struggled for good reason

And the sequels sucked.

You've no idea what cRPG stands for, you dumb zoom zoom. Stop making shit up.

I remember when I stopped mashing attack in DA2 I don't even remember why and the character I was controlling kept fighting. The game literally played itself.

I still liked it for the characters.

80% of combat scenarios in this game was utterly broken by just staying put as the combat begun and picking off the stupid mobs wandering with ranged attacks or alternatively baiting mobs through a door in such a scenario.
Like that fucking encounter where you're supposed to lose and go to prison, just back away into the corridor instead of staying where dozens of archers are lined up makes it piss easy.

Oh shut up

how many of your party members can you kill in Origins?
you can kill Zevran when he betrays you if you recruited him
you can kill Leliana during the Sacred Ashes
you can kill Alistair in the Landsmeet

It has a punishing curve early on, and then eases up as it goes.

i 100% the game for all the achievements i enjoyed playing it that much, including the no deaths ever on the hardest difficulty

the difficulty is like any CRPG, down to how much shit your willing to abuse

it was laughably easy for anyone who played it for more than 2 hours

dog. unless you're human noble.
sten, leave him in the cage or kill him when he challenges you in haven.
shale if you take her to the deep roads and side with branka.

you can let the dog die, maybe put him down?

the game is trivially easy. too many trash mobs, though

also oghren can die in awakening. i think the only guaranteed survivor is morrigan. then leliana, who gets retconned into life in the sequels no matter what.

Leliana
Wynne
Zevran
Shale
Oghren
Dog

if you install the cut content restoration mod you can turn morrigan in to the templars. she doesn't die but she fucks off.

>CRPG style game
>normies being confused by party management and stats
What do you think

i've done that, she always shows up to make the offer before the end game no matter what.

I think they should've made it a walking simulator with a massive "go here" arrow displayed at all times.

I think Oghren can side with Branka if you fail at some persuasion but it is retconned that he was only knocked unconscious in awakening

I just wish you could disable the zoom in to character faces during dialogue. This game could still look pretty good today if not for that.

We heard you liked that mage girl on your team, gamer.

Definitely not. I suck at anything crpg related, and I did a nightmare run without difficulties (+gaxkang) on my second playthrough. And I did it again, and again ... varying the party everytime.
Dude probably didn't even try.

I entered the DLC already max level and the party members didn't even have the stats to equip any decent gear and the golem was bugged and never upgarded.
I made it to the final boss but kept getting shat on so I just console commanded in some respec books and gear which I shouldn't have sold and I beat the fight easily on hard.

Morrigan is too intimidated by Stens massive qunari cock. This is canon.

Quncuriosity gets the better of us all in the end

What was the best option for the Anvil?

Post it

Love this game but it's one of the easiest rpgs I've ever played, even downloaded the nightmare plus addon

It doesn't matter aside from the ending slides and getting like 4 golems to help you in the final battle.

I usually side with Caridin because of Shale but a Branka is fine too. If I was in their shoes and didn't know that regardless of what you pick Orzammar still won't have their golems back, I'd pick Branka as golems really are one of the best options for fighting Darkspawn.

Bhelen tries to tear down the caste system and is fairly succesful, making all dwarves have rights and the ones on the surface not being treated as outcasts as much. Harrowmont is a total conservative and also gets bullied by every other noble, accomplishing essentially nothing until there's riots and he dies.

At least as far as I remember, it's been some time since I last played.

dog

you can see the entire political structure of orzammar just by walking around. behlen wants the casteless to fight in the army, harromont is happy to let babies get left in the deeproads because their born the opposite sex of the higher caste parent.
from an outside perspective he's a fucking lunatic.

You only find that all out after you finish the game, no-one in game says anything about it, except for a merchant who goes on about how Bhelen will be good for trade

>Two whole games have gone since then and we still have no idea what the outcome of Awakening is.
>Such a huge fucking deal as the Architect making darkspawn into conscious, reasonable people has just been ignored for that long.

I seriously don't understand it.

there is literally a quest to help a woman decide to go to the surface or let her baby die in the deeproads because her family have exiled her over this.

I killed that nigger

They're quite literally the orcs from LOTR

me too. and the nice messenger who wants to help. only good darkspawn is a dead darkspawn.

You know, I'm actually shocked he survived that far

Yeah you see the caste system is fucked but you are never told anything about Harrowmont or Bhelens politics, you never find out Harrowmont is super conservative until after the game ends. I think it was bioware trying to get people to do multiple playthroughs by saying they fucked up choosing Harrowmont only at the end of the game

I choose to believe Alistair is just fucking shit at leading and wouldn't have been able to handle the responsibility, either because he gets fooled or pushed around by everyone, with the mage/templar situation being the only one he can handle decently because he actually knows what's going on.

Doesn't the entry about Leliana also imply he was fucking her but dumped her because he had to become king?

Not really. Hindsight is there but there are plenty of ways to know what Harrowmont and Bhelen are standing for before you pick one, especially if you play a Dwarf Noble. Harrowmont is affable but he's like every other muh tradition drawf who can't decide where to piss without consulting with the Ancestors and accomplishes nothing besides sucking off the noble caste and dying while Bhelen is a progressive who knows that dwarven society is rigged from the top-down so he has to basically tell the noble caste to go fuck themselves and declare himself dictator just so that Orzammar might be a little less fucked.

Dwarven society is built on scrapping by as the remnants of a powerful kingdom that's even gone longer than Halamshiral and Harrowmont is plenty happy to let that persist. Bhelen is a cunt but he knows that the surface dwarf and casteless hypocrisy and iron-adherence to tradition has to end if Orzammar is to stand any chance to recover.

Well he's a good fighter

>you never find out Harrowmont is super conservative until after the game ends.
he was a trusted friend of the king, it's pretty fucking obvious.

And as a leader?

Ah yes, we must get back to having 10 pokemon porn threads a day and being constantly invaded by /int/

I played again through recently, I was literally looking for reasons the game would give you to side with Bhelen, there's a merchant who says he would be good for trade because he wants more relations with the surfacers but thats it, even the casteless say neither candidate cares about him.

Bioware just didn't want most players to pick him on a first playthrough

no the Warden is a Human Noble Sword and Shield user with Templar specialization that romanced Morrigan and pump her full of archdemon baby

If he's hardened he becomes a good king, but being a good fighter would get him through most of the game.

Fuck off

My girl beat all the content at max difficulty with no problems, and she sucks at games in general

dark ritual is so shitty
>doesnt tell you what she will do with the god-baby
>kills all suspense in the finale because no-one will die (except riordan but you can see that coming a mile away)

To his credit, he makes it just before the finish line. I would have expected him to just to save Redcliffe and solve the mage situation, but fail at the deep roads or elves. Was going to ask how you knew he did the ritual but considering Morrigan is with him at the final stretch it stands to reason he did it.

one of my favourite play through was a noble dwarf who sided with behlen like
>hey good game bro you earned that crown

>Bhelen's face when he's king but you're PARAGON
I mean he still has his throne but even in Orzammar you won in the end.

>Just read a reddit thread
Do I even have to say it?

Fucking based. My core playthrough.

The game isn't hard, it's reddit being reddit, which should be obvious. It's so easy that on normal you can
>wear whatever armor you want
>invest in whatever skills you want
>never bother controlling squadmates
Literally no challenge to combat. Much more interesting on harder difficulties where you can get your squad mown down by archers if you act like a moron.

Bhelen seems unironically happy with it given inquisition, puts a big ass statue of you outside the palace whereas harrowmont puts a smaller version of the normal paragon statue in the hall of heroes which pisses people off.

It would be great for him politically, being brother to a paragon

Totally. This thread was going so well otherwise. Need to fill that shitposting quota!

>have to hang out with the only viable warden who is a dipshit, his maybe girlfriend who talks about the maker all fucking day and their dog
poor morrigan

Dark ritual is a chickenshit beta move
>I-I don't want to die saving the world, better trust this woman who will tell me nothing about what she plans to do with a god-baby, potentially fucking the world in the ass

he'd have to do it, it's just him and riordan if they both die the world is fucked.

Bhelen is cool and him framing you was just part of his own goal of reforming Orzammar but you know he kicks himself that he's a lowly king and you're the living Ancestor and he has nobody to thank for it but himself because his machinations to eliminate you puts the Dwarf Noble on the path to becoming the Hero of Ferelden. Ultimately Bhelen just wanted power and the only thing with more power in Orzammar than the king is a Paragon. It takes some big betrayal like Caridin refusing to make golems and having the entire noble caste turn against you to take down a Paragon.

Alistair is an idiot but Morrigan is a terribly written character for thirsty incels also written by a gay man

He knocks up your sister from the casteless origin and moves her and your mother into the palace it's definitely biased in his favor during that origin

Really? Dwarf commoner is the only origin I never gave a full playthrough. Might have to go try it next time I play DAO.

What? nah it's a piss easy game even in the higher difficult

Prison gay.

It's kind of difficult and there are just certain builds that will destroy everything vs making reasonable choices may fuck you over. 2H warriors are, for the most part, a massive waste of time. The game rewards annoying habits like just buying stupid amounts of poultices.

Bioware has never made a game with a great skill curve.

all of that is acceptable aside from the ritual, power up yourself to stop that blight

One of my main appeals for this game is the Nightmare difficulty, absolutely love it. It feels so well tailored that I have to use everything available to me to beat the encounters.
I can't imagine myself playing Origins on anything other than Nightmare

Loghain is perfect for wardens
especially since he dies in the Fade during Inquisition

This is discussed with Alistair in the game you're both rookies who don't know how to prepare the joining. It happens in Awakening because you recover the formula from Denerim after Loghain is defeated.

I like this idea but the fucking nigger just immediately decapitates Loghain after, you dont get a chance to even consider recruiting him.

Also with Loghain by that point Riordan has shown up, a more senior warden who actually knows how to do the ritual.

this there is no actual reason for the inquisitor to save hawke even over stroud, the only reason is out of character sentimentality

I don't really remember it being too hard and I never got into all those meme strategies involving mages stunlocking and murdering everything.
The only thing I remember is that Flemeth was pretty hard and I had to micromanage every single action not to get my ass kicked, also the one other dragon you fought wasn't easy either. The archdemon was a joke but only since you were overpowered as fuck by that point no matter what you did.

Wish the game had NG+ to get on the full game at max level just to autisticly take on every encounter.

varric deserves better than that ugly manlet cunt who's been cucking him for years. He needs a warrior princess who's really sweet and soft on the inside

Yeah, she became perfect when she told me about the guy she lost her virginity to right after fucking!

This is the first time I've ever heard someone call that game hard.

ok
have sex

I'm playing Human Mage and just got out of the prologue.
What build / tactics should I use for Morrigan, or should I be microing her spells too?

she loved it

ice spells and hexes

>implying i'd let anything happen to based stroud or his sweet moustache
you're damn right user

the game was actually pretty easy, but AI ONLY runs pretty were fun to do with the expanded tactics mod
deadfire did the same thing, sadly the AI routines you can set up arent as complex as all the combat elements so it's harder

Stroud is based

So it's just like a standard MMO then? How is that weird?

The game is "hard" because it's easy to think you have a good party when you don't.

Just stack DEX and archers and you will anally violate the entire game regardless of difficulty.

>MMO
zoomer spotted

>archer builds in Origins
lmao

>Before Stroud could seek revenge against his family's murderers, his trainers at the Academie urged a Grey Warden, one Clarel de Chanson, to recruit him to stop him from throwing his life away.
>Unable to refuse Clarel's request honorably, Stroud joined the Wardens.

>In the following decades, Warden Stroud served with honor and earned a reputation as the finest swordsman in the order.

>Implying i'd let this guy die fighting some giant fucking spiders in a dreamworld

Dragon Age Inquisition is perfect if all you want to do is have the most retarded reddit tier inappropriate conversations

Archer parties are busted, man. People think they suck, but they really don't.

>all those posts on reddit saying stroud was easy to leave behind over theri hawke because he had a moustache

So the other guy was bigger right? Why else would you bring up a previous fuck right after fucking someone new for the first time?

I'm actually playing DA:I right now, never played any of the previous games, it was on a sale and I said fuck it lets go.

Shit is so dull and boring and yet I can't stop playing, already beat the main story and Jaws of Hakkon / Descent DLC. I still have tons of shit to do in the main world, and I dont' want to start Trespasser DLC because then I can't ever go back to the world.

Why are you on reddit

I feel like 2 backstabbing rogues, 1 mage and 1 tank is more fun. Shale is a decent tank, but max Dex Alistair in Juggernaut armor (or Cailan's armor, if you have the DLC) eventually outclasses her. On my most recent playthrough I even went with no tank, just 3 rogues + 1 mage for CC, literally the best possible DPS, everything dies in seconds. I used a respec mod to fine tune everyone's stats though. This was on Nightmare too, I've never played on lower difficulties since they just remove various features. I believe Nightmare was the base difficulty (since the other modes are just clear downgrades) and then EA forced them to also include a bunch of casual modes in order to appeal to a wider audience including non-gamers.

>That butterface
Yikes dude

Archers are OP in Awakening, but really trash in Origins.

Morrigan may not be that useful to you once you get Wynne if your warden is pure combat it's better to have a healer and a combat mage if you're using 2 mages.

What's the problem? Somebody having a sexual history makes you insecure?

Ruff Ridah

Do you even remember the romance? "Gruff bitch likes poetry." "Gruff bitch thinks you're Jesus." "Gruff bitch's first love just so happened to die in the event that starts DAI and leads her to you." "With your seed inside of her she will kill the bad guy even more and protect you, even though you're directly connected to her lover's death."

It's like a 13 year old wrote it.

Literally my playthrough

Literally me except for the specialization

Man, still no Bugs? Is he okay?

This. Morrigan is a trash tier character.

>that feel when not a single person of the 77 posters told the OP to go back from where he came from
Just kill this website already.

>tfw solo arcane warrior master race

try reading the thread again zoomer

No need to samefag just because nobody agrees with your mentally ill onionpinion

>Was it really that hard?
nani the fuck are you talking about nigger? I solo'd this shit on nightmare as a fucking 2handed chad human

>fuck around with 2h warrior
>get the patch that fixes haste stacking
>have 2 mages in the party with haste
>rape everyone with auto attacks while swinging a fuck off huge sword at mach speed
I still got bodied by mages and had to reload the game a couple of times, I was playing on hard, playing on nightmare would be cancerous as fuck

No, it's not too hard at all. I lowered the difficulty from normal to easy on the last boss, but that was because I did zero endgame preparation before entering the final act and didn't have an earlier save.

Once you get mana clash mages are a joke
