Trespasser DLC Persistent Mark of the Inquisitor **Very Annoying**

This is on the level of making the game completely unplayable from the constant flashes and noise from this thing. Seriously, you're going to give someone an epileptic seizure with this nonsense.

Until a patch is released, I figured out a work around. I lost several hours of progression on my character, but I fixed the game. I went back to an old save. It is important to choose a save before you started ticking trials boxes in options. When you tick any of the trials it bugs out the game and creates the persistent mark of the inquisitor whether that character has done the Trespasser DLC yet or not. Loading a save prior to ticking the trials boxes removed the bug/glitch entirely. Until there is a patch to fix the bugs in the new trials part of the game, this is what we can do. Avoid the Trials entirely. Do not even touch them with a ten-foot pole.

Unfortunately that fix does not apply to me as I had never touched the trials to begin with. They have always been off and this issue still occurs after unlocking the 2nd and 3rd tiers for focus. As far as I am concerned this is game breaking. I haven't even finished the story yet as I have been doing the majority of the side quests. It persists through all dialogue and makes it difficult to hear. This had better be fixed in the next patch. Until then I will not be touching this game.

I found that for me it occurs after unlocking the 2nd and 3rd focus bar perks. Unfortunately I was too late to go back to an earlier save lest i lose a considerable amount of hours of gameplay. I however did find a fix. I found a mod which is basically a cheat for all intents and purposes that set infinite focus for only one bar of focus or also for second and third depending on your perks. The mod has other stuff too but you only need the v1 file for focus to get rid of the annoyance until it is officially fixed. However in order for it to work you need to enter combat at least once. If you load the game in a rest area such as Skyhold the bug will remain present until you travel somewhere and enter combat. then the focus bar remains at the first level in rest areas. Allowing you to listen to dialogue again. you can find the mod here. http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/523/
