I've been having this issue on and off, too. Mostly off, though, so I haven't really worried too much about it (more 'wee! New stuff!').
Is that insta-crash with Viv? If you use mods, you have to take them out to talk to her for the first time (it's totally worth it). Just remember to alter you patch number to 12 so your save will load, then put it back to 11 when you put your mod folder back. If it's not Viv, disregard this 😛
It was Viv, actually! Good to know that wasn't only me and that there's a fix for at least that much. Thank you for sharing!!
But everything else has been relentless on my part, to the point where I've lost all excitement. And I mean, I was PUMPED FOR THIS. Now I'm just so bitter and disappointed - this is one of the few games/DLCs I haven't spoiled for myself and have avoided all spoilers. Still continue to do so. But not every is considerate, and I've ran into some people who think they're being "vague" enough to not need a spoiler tag (spoiler alert: you're not as slick as you think, you're an *).
I don't know what to do. ): I've disabled all mods, updated my drivers, made sure my laptop is running on my Nvidia video card and not the integrated one, lowered all my settings. The only thing I can think of is that Nvidia has been running like * on DA:I from the start, which is a known issue.
Right now, it's to the point where I'll fight some qunari, and I'll be standing their after the fight, and the blades and clashing sounds are just going off where I was fighting a good 15 seconds ago. If it wasn't a game I was really into, this would be hilarious, trust me. But... I don't know. I'm just so, so sad... lol
