Unable to change difficulty of game (it is locked)
I have been playing through DA: Inquisition at a leisurely pace, mostly on the hard difficulty as to not make it too easy for me. However, there were two points I changed the difficulty. The one I remember clearly was after the grand ball when I faced that really tough lady... My potions were down to nothing and the saves I had were before going on that mission or the autosave, which put me right back to the fight with that lady, potionless and helpless. Anyway, I changed the difficulty down to normal, or possibly even easy? to beat her.
Once she was dead, I either kept it at normal, or if I changed it to easy, I changed it back to normal.
No problems... I was going through questing a few weeks later and noticed that I was having a really easy time of it, so I wanted to ramp up the difficulty again to hard, but the indicator seems locked. It is set at normal and I cannot hit the green A (select) button to change the combat difficulty. I can choose B (back), and Y (reset), which I thought reset might work, but that did not do much.
I am wondering if it is tied into an achievement system or something that now I am stuck on Normal for the rest of the game? I got too overpowered and now I am killing enemies like it is nothing. I don't even think about Fade Rifts anymore, I just point and shoot til everything is dead.
Is there any way to change the gameplay back to hard? I can scroll through all the difficulties, but none of them are able to be selected. I tried doing it out of combat, and then when that did not work, in combat. Maybe I have to be at Skyhold to do it? I will try there, but so far nothing has worked. Imma go try Skyhold, and if that works I will update here... If not, someone please help!

Nevermind, I am an idiot. I just solved this.
The A (accept) button does not need to be highlighted for me to accept. I just scroll to the difficulty I want, in this case hard, and then hit the B (back) button and agree to the changes. Done.
I must have done this on the other occasions, but not realized it. Sorry for wasting your time, guys.
