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.
Hudson Thompson
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.
Kayden Rivera
Reddit is retarded what did you expect?
Grayson Kelly
It's tricky to make a viable party on your first playthrough.
Elijah Martin
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.
Jordan Kelly
Not even remotely challenging before you play on max difficulty and without a party.

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).
cast it next to a wall or have a rogue sneak by the door when you know enemies are in the next room to kill them with aoe send a tank in the middle of the room to taunt them and then bubble him or just let him die

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.

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.

I still liked it for the characters.
Henry Allen
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.

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

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

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.
Josiah Adams
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.
Blake Parker
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.

It was even harder before they patched it, enemies did stupid amounts of damage.
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.

Jason Green
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.
Brayden Mitchell
dog
Joshua James
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.
Leo Allen
reminder that if the Warden died
>Alistair got both the mages and templars >sided with the Werewolves >Preserved the Anvil >Did the Dark Ritual >Didn't recruit anyone (maybe Sten) besides Leliana, Morrigan and Dog
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
Daniel Murphy
>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.

Michael Bell
You know, I'm actually shocked he survived that far
Juan Wood
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
Dylan Morgan
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.
Caleb Brown
Doesn't the entry about Leliana also imply he was fucking her but dumped her because he had to become king?
Henry Stewart
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.
>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.
Luis Hill
And as a leader?
Asher Collins
Ah yes, we must get back to having 10 pokemon porn threads a day and being constantly invaded by /int/
Josiah Ross
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
Austin Johnson
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.
Luke Smith
Fuck off
My girl beat all the content at max difficulty with no problems, and she sucks at games in general
Jack Long
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)
Jason Hill
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.
Josiah Rogers
one of my favourite play through was a noble dwarf who sided with behlen like >hey good game bro you earned that crown
Benjamin Gonzalez
>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.
Isaiah Ward
>Just read a reddit thread Do I even have to say it?

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.
Nolan Scott
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
Henry Cruz
Totally. This thread was going so well otherwise. Need to fill that shitposting quota!
Christopher Flores

Christian Nguyen
he'd have to do it, it's just him and riordan if they both die the world is fucked.
Jackson Bennett
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.
Nolan Hernandez
Alistair is an idiot but Morrigan is a terribly written character for thirsty incels also written by a gay man
Adrian Cooper
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
Jordan Moore
Really? Dwarf commoner is the only origin I never gave a full playthrough. Might have to go try it next time I play DAO.
Isaac Garcia
What? nah it's a piss easy game even in the higher difficult
Caleb Myers
Prison gay.
Grayson Parker
But you're forgetting >everybody lives to enjoy being the heroes who saved the world >get laid >can go shank her in the expansion anyway
Jeremiah Campbell
It's an alright origin you're a thug with no other option but you still don't have to do bad shit
>take the dark ritual >keep the werewolves alive >keep the anvil >corrupt the ashes >keep avernus so he can use blood magic to extend my life >fuck the demon and doom redcliffe >make the deal with the blood mage to sacrifice the elves and get a completely insignificant +1 stat bonus
Its one of these game you either pick up and break to fuck and is easy as hell or you never learn the good shit to pick and struggle all through the game. Happens in almost all wrpg
The world will be fine, the problem isn't that there's hardly gray wardens, it's that there's hardly any in ferelden and Loghain won't let the orlisan ones in.
Austin Gray
Any must have mods for DA:O?
Kayden Peterson

Jason Howard
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.
Lucas Hill
all of that is acceptable aside from the ritual, power up yourself to stop that blight
unless you are evil ritual is fine then
Robert Miller

Nathan Walker
Their sunder armor/arms and 2h cleave makes 2h fighters decent, specially since they can tank stragglers and once you learn deathblows or whatever gives them stamina per kill you can spam skills on CD Also warriors specs are great They can‘t compete with backstabbing rogues or mages but nobody can

Isaiah Lewis

Yeah the wardens were 100% ready to fuck shit up, it's their whole job to be ready for that shit, only thing that would've happened would've been Ferelden getting fucked in the ass because Loghain didn't know about the Archdemon rule
Ayden Scott
once you figure out how to play the game is only good on nightmare
Jason Sanders
>If Loghain died making the final blow against the Archdemon >Queen Anora had a monument built to her father in honor of his redemption at Fort Drakon. The monument was built overlooking the Orlesian embassy... "watching" it carefully, as the local legend goes. It became popular, and in time, Loghain's darker deeds were forgotten in favor of his more heroic ones. Fuck off cuck.

Noah Parker

Nathaniel Taylor
>tell Alistair I'll let him die killing the arch demon >do the ritual
I'm not justifying shit. My entire reasoning behind doing the ritual is I want to fucking live, but I also want the glory of being the guy who actually kills the archdemon. Then fins Morrigan and make sure it doesn't become demon baby or something.
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
Ian Sanders
Loghain is perfect for wardens especially since he dies in the Fade during Inquisition
Aaron Allen
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.
Nolan Evans
I like this idea but the fucking nigger just immediately decapitates Loghain after, you dont get a chance to even consider recruiting him.
Zachary Wright
>DAO = arguably Bioware's last good game, decent writing and passable combat at the very least >DA2 = around a year after ME2 came out and EA was on their "MAKE IT MORE DUDEBRO-Y" shit, less to do, more reused areas and assets, ez mode pretty much all the way through and the game literally hands you shit >DAI = fell for the open world meme, most of the game is fucking garbage to get through, still has the Bioware problem of shit being unbalanced and easily breakable except it's not even fun to do that anymore, more than half the cast fucking sucks

then why are we arguing
Juan Harris
>still has the best waifu Lmao no. Leliana is fucking better then her, let alone Morrigan. >killing off Loghain instead of that faggot Hawke
Lincoln Campbell
I'm still mad they fucked up her face, I still like her but I was looking forward to DA2 Cass
da2 - was supposed to be an expansion about the qunari, they cobbled some other shit around it and pushed it out as a sequel to capitalise on dao's success. dai - was supposed to be an mmo and get switched into a sigle player game. it should never have been released on last gen consoles and i can't even imagine the state it was in before they pushed the release date back to keep working on it.
Jeremiah Williams
Also with Loghain by that point Riordan has shown up, a more senior warden who actually knows how to do the ritual.
Ayden Ward
I remember the teaser for DAI getting my hopes up a bit - then the press releases and character previews... what a sad sight
Joseph Davis
>killing off a high ranking warden officer that can lead the order and make sure it will serve the inquisition instead of some hobo you're a shitty leader, user
this there is no actual reason for the inquisitor to save hawke even over stroud, the only reason is out of character sentimentality
Dylan Cox
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.
Nathan Bennett
Wish the game had NG+ to get on the full game at max level just to autisticly take on every encounter.

Jose Adams
Stroud is based
Bentley Butler
So it's just like a standard MMO then? How is that weird?
James Kelly
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.

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

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?

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.

Andrew Davis
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.
