Anchor Discharge
I can't seem to be able to use Anchor Discharge. I've been playing the DLC without using it once because I haven't been able to use it the whole game. The = key which is supposed to be where i'm ab...

The funny thing is, it works for me using a controller (what I was using originally when the ability gets introduced in the Elven ruins) (the little LT+LS icon is there and I can use it). I usually game with mouse and keyboard and when I switch to those controls, Anchor Discharge is disabled and unavailable. It's excruciatingly frustrating, because I can see it my inquisitor's abilities but it is greyed out and and unavailable, I can't drag it to my hotbar or anything, totally dead. The horse/= icon is still just a horse icon, which is what it is ostensibly supposed to be on PC but for the life of me I haven't seen it. Kind of sucks because I just occasionally play the game with a controller, and now I will be forced to it seems if I want to use this ability. Switching back and forth between KB+mouse and controller never lets it be available for KB+mouse controls, only for controller. Not using trials like one player mentioned but tried switching those on and off, didn't have any impact. Love this game, one of my favorite series, but I'll have to play the Witcher 2 instead now, I know that at least works. :P Bioware please fix this! Thanks 🙂
Have you tried making sure you are using KB+M when the ability is granted and, not trying to switch to it after the fact? It may be locked to whatever control method you use when it is granted.
I have an autosave right before it grants the ability and says I can press = to use it, but pressing this key does nothing, it's just dead. I think you hit on something, perhaps because I was using the controller connected to my pc to play the game when I first got the ability, it's somehow locked to only be available for the controller control scheme. I don't have a save file earlier than this point during tresspasser, so I potentially will have to start the DLC from scratch on KB+mouse only just to get this working hypothetically. Searching on the internet and from this forum post it seems a few people have gotten the issue but I guess it's not too widespread (?) Pretty bummed since I bought the DLC day 1 it was available.
So do you think restarting the DLC is the only fix? (that is until Bioware releases a patch)
I would give it a try. I don't even own a controller (I dislike them) so I can't test it but, if it is locked to whatever control method you are using when you start the DLC, then that should at least be noted so that people know that all abilities will not work properly if you change control methods mid Trespasser.
Nice to see in over a year, EA hasn't fixed a damn thing. I guess I shouldn't be expected.
