Errors Loading
Ive contacted EA support, I've changed graphics and my cpu data and everything i can. even reinstalled fully. I can't load a save if I exit the game and reenter. my characters are completely inaccessible unless I let the game fully hijack my pc and keep it open and on all for all hours of the day- which isn't possible. i get the notification after like 3 mins of loading that there is an error loading or processing this request or something like that. please help.
Game was wonderful, I'd love a New Game plus!
I really enjoyed the story and gameplay, a lot more than I was expecting. I'm just a trophy or two away from the platinum at this point. I was playing on underdog difficulty and really spent a long time optimising my build and equipment. I would absolutely love to replay this game, in a more streamlined fashion, if I was able to carry my hero forward into a New Game plus. Is there even a glimmer of hope for this?
Translation of Abilities to PT-BR Contains Errors
There are some issues with the translation to Portuguese in the "skill tree." A significant one is the translation of "strike." Some strike abilities are translated as "ataque", while others are translated as "golpe." Technically, both terms are correct, but this inconsistency can create confusion. When reading the skills, it seems like they refer to different types of abilities. For instance, if you choose a skill that enhances "ataque" abilities, you might think it doesn't enhance "golpe" abilities, even though both are classified as "strike" abilities in English. Please address this inconsistency.
Venatori camps in Arlathan Forest
After the Unwanted Guest and Blood of Arlathan Quest so have I found camps of Venatori across the forest Defeating them give exp and loot but nothing else Are they supposed to give Veil Jumper Faction strength too after defeating them or do they only give exp and loot? This is on PS5 with Patch 1.000.004Treviso's old lady SKINCARE ROUTINE
Hi!! I wanted to share one silly thing which always make me laugh: In Treviso you can find this "supposedly" old lady which has the skin of 22 years old model, it definitely cannot pass as an elder. 😅 This is also a small critic, this is a game which put so much effort on inclusivity but ALL the characters in the game have perfect skin, jaws & zygomas, and perfectly razor-sharp eyebrows like they're all models 😞 Also, I'm Italian and I didn't understand why make many inclusivity choices and then build the most stereotypical of Italian scenarios where Italian characters have all very heavy accents, drink coffee & wine and like to cook... I don't want to be too judgmental, I wasn't "offended" or anything, but it just felt cringe, if that's not the case for other nationalities it shouldn't be a big deal (in the sense that maybe is normal to feel that way seeing someone else's country adaptation). Thank you for listening!
Few questions regarding Duelist skill tree and abilities
I discovered some problems and hope somebody help me with this if something similar happens to others and whether these are some kind of bugs or something I'm missing or messed up with. Below are the bugs: One of the upgrade skills in 'Burst' part, 'Physical Strikes' (Strike Abilities now deal Physical damage.). Most Strike abilities in the rogue class deal necrotic damage, for instance, the staple Strike Abilities 'A Thousand Cuts'.So, my question is whether this ability now deals both physical damage and necrotic damage? If it deals both, then when I applied it on those resistant to necrotic dmg enemy, why the enemy barely take any damage and seem to pop out 'resistant'. Or Can anybody enlighten me on how does it work with this upgrade? This one regarding Harding's ability. 'Heavy draw' has one upgrade 'Overpower' that said 'Detonation causes the Overwhelmed effect to be permanent". So theoretically, once detonated, the Overwhelmed effect will be permanent. I tried it and it did become permanent and " Overwhelmed' symbol showed up in the enemy health bar. However, when I tried it with 'Explosive dagger' that the critical condition was overwhelmed, it doesn't apply critical damage as same as if I manually applied Overwhelm first. Anyone have this problem too?
Bioware missed a story opportunity (some spoilers)
My first and second playthrus done I wondered what it would be like to be a mourn watch mage meeting Lucanis for the first time. I am disappointed 😞. The whole time I felt like my Rook was the dumbest mage especially one who deals with spirits for a living. The dialogue acted like they had no idea what was going on and things Bellara were saying were things my rook should have said. But the biggest let down was when my mage couldn't see or hear Spite. Mourn watch mages should be trained to do so but nope dialogue was same as it was for other playthrus as a rogue crow and mage lord of fortune. This is the missed story opportunity. How great would it have been to be able to talk to Spite like Emmerich can? At the very least they could have added dialogue specifically for a mourn watch player.[Feedback] DAV Critic
So first of all this is my feeling for the game and what i think about it after completing my first adventure playthough and best ending which took me roughly 76 hours, 96 if we count my other playthough starts , i dont mind hearing yours but lets try to avoid harassment and hate boning. But let get to it: First thing first, I love the Lore god i love it, while when compared to other games of the franchise it lacking it still amazing drop of info, and love it all the more, with expanding on the knowledge that been left in the dark for so long. i think that is one of the major thing they did right. now on to the good, Great, bad, and Ugly. the good in my opinion, is the Combat the the world design, it feel like a Mix of Origins World design with DA2 and DAI Combat system with a more refine aspect. i think this was a good thing cause what made Origins so amazing was that each area had so many hidden areas and unlock to achieve and had to be returned to, DAV reimagine that and brought it back with alot more verticality and exploration. While the Combat system is smooth and the tactics give plays a easier time for the high pace combat, on NiM i can say it helps alot half the time. the Great... The Story, "alot" feel the story is lacking and it may be, but i can honestly say that it equal to Origins to a degree, baring that it be at least on the level of inquisition, i mean seriously this story is great the cutscene the build up the endings, the interactivity is just top notch. and while the choice making is lacking in it cause and effects it still pretty good and near the level origins but feels still there. THE BAD: World connecting and Choices god this is something i very much dislike, the thing that made the DA franchise so great was how each choice we made in the precious installment had a cause and effect in the world of the next game, Warden kill or spare loghain decides on the warden we meet, or how the fade choice is effected between champion and Warden, or how the Choice that the champion decide to support in DA2 or their Class of being a mage or warrior. i mean seriously this interconnectivity between game made it amazing including the relationship, how in DAI the choices of DAO show up in DAI like romance partner and more!!! But in DAV that choice and world connecting has been all but removed on the highest level of degree, Morrigan no longer has her child is that how it happen between the Grey warden in the DAO DLCs and DAI main story, and is instead someone who drank the water of Mythal and more. all are previous choice meant nothing in DAV and the world we built was removed!!! which put a huge damper to many including myself. THE UGLY!!!! the Thing that made Dragon Age, what it is. the Dark Gritty Nightmarish World, it showed us the aspect of both a Dark and light life of a Fantasy world with darkness and hero's, it didnt hide it nature it showed us the darker side of nature and humanity ambitions and greed. it felt right and realistic to degree, and that what made it good, cause we made choices and decision that affect the world and made us and are avatar feel real. None of that seem to be real in DAV, it feel that to much of the politic state of the world we live in is affecting the game design, and more. a little extra Will call this the Worst. is the nudity and Sexual Preference choices, DA franchise has always stated it openness of the sexuality of thedas i mean every franchise has had a edition of lore tidbit of it in a book somewhere or another, But this went a little overboard, due to the Woke Culture when i heard taash say non Binary i seriously did a double take, WTF So your telling me that DA has advanced education system that is on level with are society, they have algebra and Trig, and more!!! Seriously this is a Fantasy WORLD it HIGH FICTION!!! if a gaming company has to be affected by something like this they need to look at themselves agian and ignore that, their a reason BG3 did so well cause they didnt care about no i identify as a Apache helicopter BS. if a person who needs to identify has a issue with the game they can go make their own. i guess my last thing is the nudity it not big but still, there really was no point with the level nudity in the game, if it was on the level of BG3 i say yeah your right to implement it but for what in the game honestly yeah no it not at that level of requirement. if you make a future game with the same level as BG3 which i believe the DA Franchise could be if EA was willing to commit to it. I think you should consider that as honestly we live ina different world then what we used to live in when DA first started and gamer dont really care. Only those looking for drama care. and you can just ignore them and not response to them which will make them mad but they will give up sooner or later.Combat loot should not be random
Hi everyone! I was thinking that combat loot should not be completely random, or at least there's should be I way to overcome loot "randomness" (? Is that a word). Since builds are based also on item special buffs, knowing what armor or weapon you'll find it's important to be able to choose a specific build. Right now you cannot "follow a path" to equipment building. At high difficulty levels this could be problematic... One suggestion could be to make loot based on area, so that in the docks you'll find Neve's equipment (only) and special equipment for rook specific of the area. Also, be able to purchase that equipment specific of the macro-area by their merchants (all levels, white to yellow). Thank you! 💕
Colorblind mode for UI elements only
I'm red/green color lind I always look and see what the colorblind options are in games and some get it right and some get it wrong. Veil guard does what I consider the wrong approach which is where they place a filter over everything and make the colors stand out more. The issue with this is this is not how colorblind people experience the world. We see the world using the colors everyone else does, we just interpret them differently. This means when you have a filter making trees a new color it still looks weird to me because I've seen trees and grass and the new color isn't that. Instead, I suggest BioWare update it to be for the UI elements exclusively. I don't need to see trees in a different color than I usually do, what I need to see is the UI elements. I can't tell the difference between an attack I can block and one I need to dodge. That's if I can even notice it on my head when I'm toe to toe with an enemy or backed up to a bush. If they gave color set options that would be fantastic! P S. The best implementation I've ever seen of this is in Elder Scrolls Online where you get to choose the color using RGB selector for what type of UI elements. But a good middle ground is simply how League of Legends does player health bars, or COD used to do with the targeting reticle (I haven't played in a long time so I don't know if they kept that up). If they could make this update, the quality of life would skyrocket for this aspect for what shouldn't be a major change. How do we make this happen?[SUGGESTION] Controller mapping to open specific menu screens
Right now, on controllers you can open menus which by default open the last opened menu. I would like separate controller mappings to go straight to specific menu screens. For instance, on a DualSense, I want the share button to open the map. I noticed that this isn't an option. I believe it's also not yet possible to map the left and right side of the DualSense touch pad to different actions, though I could be wrong. I think you technically could do all that with Steam Input's controller profiles (e.g. mapping a button to M on the keyboard), but enabling Steam Input gives me Xbox icons when using a PlayStation controller, which isn't ideal. In addition, I think opening and closing the menu is a bit slow.
[Feedback] Add More Weapons + Better Unique items
[PC - Windows 10. AMD CPU + AMD MSI card + Xbox Series S|X Controller] There are 2 things: Add more weapons and relics. By the end, I only had 3 staves I could choose from (necrotic dmg wise). I do not find it normal that a Unique item is 95% worse than most items. If anything, those should be the best items out there - hence their uniqueness. The only time I equipped a Unique item was when I wanted to try a completely different strategy, which imo, didn't make much sense. But I was like, hey might as well give it a try. It didn't work out, because there weren't other relics, weapons/armour that added to that type of boost.
