Honestly I might just avoid using the golden nug all together since it takes all of the excitement out of discovering new schematics from looting. Where's the fun in having the best things at the very beginning and steamrolling through the entire game? I might wait until the last opportunity to sync just so I can add what I get from future playthroughs to my collection.
They should still patch in a fix or work around for the duplicate recipes for the people who do use it though.
You shouldn't get ANY duplicate schematics- they work differently to recipes, and after several playthroughs with the nug, I have yet to encounter a duplicated schematic. This time I even waited until Skyhold before using the nug, just to check (well, that and I was doing as little as possible, going for the 'get to skyhold at level 5' trial achievement thing. Got it, yay). I think recipes duplicate because they're treated like requisitions (which you can get over and over again). Changing that would probably be a giant pain, and since patch 10 was supposed to (but hopefully won't be since Trespasser broke so many things) be the last patch ever, I doubt they intend to do anything about it. 😉
As for having all the best stuff early on... When you've played the game 10 times or so, you might care less about such things. 😛 For me, it's doing different story stuff, etc. Plus, now I have shiny weird stuff from Trespasser to play with, like musical staffs!
