Dragon Age: Inquisition- 12. Morale
The Inquisitor Lavellan checks in on the rest of her inner circle: Varric, Cassandra, Vivienne, Blackwall, Sera, Cole and Bull. Afterward, having seen the need, her advisors decided to send for the top mage trainers in Thedas, to give Rowan an unconventional edge against the Inquisition's enemies... If any have advice on this, feel free to contribute to the conversation in the comments section!

มุมมอง 29หลายเดือนก่อน
Rowan arrives in the village of Redcliffe only to find his presence unanticipated- despite Grand Enchanter Fiona's invitation. Confused, she heads to the local tavern with the intention of engaging in negotiations. The inquisition needs mages to help close the breech, but ending the mage/templar war is also a priority. Fiona, however, has already passed her authority onto someone else unexpecte...

Rowan makes up her mind to go to Redcliffe Village to meet with Grand Enchanter Fiona, but just as they begin to make their way there, an inquisiton guard stops Rowan with a report of unusual bandits. The quality of their armor and weapons along with the behavior of the bandits seem to suggest they are keeping people away rather than doing any actual bandit-ing. Feeling responsible for the peop...

good luck for you and your loved ones, stay safe p.s.: the prison entrance is outside of the main hall :)
Thanks man- just got power back! We made it out with no apparent damage to the house just some tree and fence shenanigans with the neighbors. Could have been much worse judging by all the sinkholes and flooding the next town over!
@@RowanWintersong glad you're ok
Thanks for uploading! Interesting choices!
Thanks!
and here I was hoping for Leopold breaking out in explosive diarrhea in the middle of the fight as a result of Hawke tampering with his food...
😅Nah just a mild case of 10 seconds of frozen in place. Although, who knows? Explosive Diarrhea from a Wyvern may have been disastrous!
If you were to approximate, when would you begin act 2? If you were planning to continue. This series has been a gold mine of entertainment😤 Great work so far!👍
The plan is to finish the Dragon Age series and then Veilguard (that releases Oct 31st). I work full time and record on the side so I struggle with juggling more than one game at a time. If you want I can try, but the releases may not be quite as regular as Dragon Age.
@@RowanWintersong oh hell nah, one thing at a time please! you're as human as the rest of us, do what you have to do in the proper prder you planned to. I CANT EVEN WATCH AS MUCH AS I WANT--- Nursing schol just started😭😭😭😭and thats just me the viewer, youre the madlad recording, editing, and posting while having a full time job.
@@daniel_says_hi577 I appreciate it! I will eventually get back to BG3. I have had a few others besides yourself ask and even a couple ask for an evil playthrough too. But we shall see what's what. Let me know if you have any opinions on the matter, as well!
The party was getting slapped but gale kept getting back up😤😤😤 my boi lmaooooo
You'd think he'd be the squishy one out of all of us!
I'm grateful to you for make this videos it has been fun.😮🙏 ✨️
I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Kinda too late to say since the series is already over at 38 eps, but like, dude use the short rests lmaoooo.
I'll be back at some point so I can still take your advice to heart! Thanks!
@@RowanWintersong I look forward to it. Would it be an Evil run😈?
@@daniel_says_hi577 It could be... Interested in any particular class or build?
is this Nightmare difficulty ?
Yes it is Edit: I should note that I had to do the Sir Cauthrien fight three times before i was satisfied I didn't look like a noob, but I did keep it on Nightmare difficulty
Awesome video, keep on the great work 💪🔥
Thanks man! Will do!
Random circle cult in the forest. nothing to see here lol. Volume is definitely better :) The music isn't as overpowering when I turn the youtube volume up
Thanks for confirming it on your end <3 Let me know if you notice anything else hinky!
the character at 12 minutes has such a big back story for a character that isn't a party member tbh. Kind of amazing how much detail they put into games back then especially with how limited storage capacity was compared to now.
Yeah for sure! I always like the extra attention to detail, sometimes it goes overlooked and people either don't notice or kind of take it for granted. But some of us do notice and appreciate the extra effort. The overall experience is greatly impacted by the smaller details imo
BTW, starting next video you should see a notable bump in dialogue volume. Sorry I wasn't able to figure it out before. Also later there will be a recognizable difference in video quality too. I figured out it wasn't my recording settings that were mucking up my video quality, but it was my rendering quality during editing.
@@RowanWintersong oooo nice! Cant wait to watch the next episode! prolly after work tomorrow :)
Comment just to keep the trend going lol. Consider my text my comment :) Edit: Helping all the digital bros lol
The internet isn't ready 😂
That fight entrance was kinda interesting. You took an attack but she casted one all without your input. I cant tell if that actually affected the fight. Also character selection reminds me of diablo 2 lol
I was surprised mana clash didn't work on her lol
NGL I thought Alistair was going die there too. So many random dots and an explosion too.
Close call lol. I remember playing this game as a complete noob to gaming and not understanding how the stats worked and which gear I was supposed to be wearing. It was much more difficult with me gimping myself haha
Yeah I don't know either. Maybe he just approves of you listening at all? Edit I'm actually curious what ending you are going for :) Not asking for spoiler just voicing my curiosity lol. Edit 2: nevermind ROFL
I can tell you IRL if you want haha. You technically have played the game before even if it was a long time ago so it may not be a spoiler for you...
@@RowanWintersong yeah thats fair i forgot about that!
Honestly the tactics were one of my favorite parts of this game. basically creating your own "AI" so you aren't given a garbage one or forced to manage each character in real time.
Mine too, supposedly they built some of the more common sense tactics into the AI in DA2 and DAI so they could simplify the tactics menu in those games. I'm not so certain tbh 😆
The CC is going to be a huge deal especially on bosses with a lot of ads like the last one :)
I wish I could write an AI script in the tactics for allies to avoid traps that have been detected or that they themselves detect already. I kept having to tell my party to run back so Leliana would have time to disarm the multiple traps in a row... 😅
I'm glad they go more into the lore and stuff in other games. There is some in this game but it seems mostly to move the story forward. That isn't a bad thing but once you finish the game you just wanna know more about the world lol
Yeah there is plenty in the codex, but the other two games (especially inquisition) really fleshes it out
Stun him! *gets stunned* lol! I think my character started in this area or something and thats why I remember it being earlier. I could definitely be wrong though. EDIT: you don't have to read them unless its easier for you to remember than pausing for a minute. Worst case I can pause to read if im slower than you :)
Alrighty I'll continue the way I have been doing it :)
Yeah i think i killed her in my first playthrough as well lol "then I'll let you experience what it is to be mortal" holy cow dude you killed her Edit: nvm lol!!!!
lol Too bad for her XD
I love how you used the terrain to bottle neck them and then they were all "screw collision detection" and just walked through to your back line 😂 Also yes i only played the base game
Yeah love when that happens 😅
Also, I was planning to do at least Awakening DLC, but if you want I can record the others too (Leliana's Song, Golems of Amgarrak, Witch Hunt and even the Darkspawn dlc lol)
@@RowanWintersong sounds good to me! I actually think I did the golem one it sounds familiar. Think I got a companion from it
@@UchihaSumairu I'll make certain to do them all then!
"I can tell I do it to" 😂
😅
Oh man I wonder if anyone has actually selected that in a real play through. How many characters could you lose or sacrifice and still beat the game? Edit: "I was looking at your nose it looks exactly like your mothers" rekt.
Alistair's sick burns yo XD There are people that solo this game on nightmare difficulty, but it is very build dependent I think. Lots of Arcane warrior blood mages out there lol
@@RowanWintersong gotcha that makes sense 😂
I love the dynamic between those two tbh. The dialog was really well done in this game
Definitely! I love the companions in all of the games- Morrigan and Alistair's dislike for each other is always quality entertainment... Morrigan is too smart for Alistair, and despite that he can still get under her skin!
you coulda let those poor guys die with some clothes on 🤣🤣🤣. Hope you keep the series going I love this game and am enjoying this playthrough
😅 Yeah those poor naked men! I 'll keep this series going man. Dragon Age games are a work of art and I've wanted to showcase them for a while now! Also Mass Effect eventually :)
You know your party member is temporary when his name is "circle mage" lol "why isn't he holding threat?" classic tank moment
Looks like I fell prey to one of the classic blunders!
"using choke points and hiding behind stuff" Yeah thats one thing I really loved. It felt like a "WoW" type game because if you main a tank you can LOS to force mobs to come to you and make your team stay out of the crap etc. I can't remember for sure but I think things changed in later games and I didn't like it. Could be wrong but I never did move to the second game. I know thats why I never played ME 2 was the combat changed and I sucked at it.
They basically gutted and simplified the tactics in the other 2 games (especially in Inquisiton), but the concept of the holy trinity remain the same as well as kiting and using choke points etc. They tried to make the combat feel more in "real time" without quite going all the way. I think they should have done both! They could have made it an option that you could choose between!
Wow its crazy how little of this game I remember until it happens. Even the test how did I forget such a major thing lol. This is great!
Yeah Ive beat this game more than once and still encounter new stuff lol. BTW is the volume better in this video? I did turn it up a tad for this one. If not I will do it again, but you won't notice a change until episode 7ish- I have several vids queued and scheduled for upload..
I remember playing this game with my "new" 8800gtx and marveling at how amazing the blood splatter graphics were lol. Amazing game tbh especially for its time!
Good times lol. I can turn the splatter back on if you want hahaha 😅
@@RowanWintersong No thats ok I turned it off too eventually because the armor looked so bad covered in blood all the time. Also If possible can you turn up the game volume a bit? If i turn it up enough to hear easily your voice is a little too loud. If not no biggy lol
@@UchihaSumairu No prob- I noticed it myself and bumped it up for the next video. let me know if it's not enough and starting episode 7 you should notice it louder still
Spider look cool af tbh As for being in a cage feeling safer after a while I would say it happens a lot in real life. People that get out of prison often have a rough time adapting to the outside world again.
Very true! Honestly it's a good microcosm of society in a way. Freedom comes with a fear of the unknown. The more you become used to structure in your life or being taken care of, the more scary freedom becomes.
She said something about you being shy for something so intimate then wanted to go to somewhere private to get some and she got some. just not the some she wanted. Edit: the box omg lol Woo you are getting other comments!
What can I say, Goblins dig me 😅
I like your commentary, is this your first playthrough?
Thanks! Technically I started a different playthrough but it's save was corrupted just after I entered the Underdark for the first time.
@@RowanWintersong how unfortunate. But half the fun of BG3 is making a new character anyways haha. Really hope your channel takes off. You have a thoughtful and deliberate style of commentary that all the G-Fuel, ADHD commentators with annoying edits don’t these days. Cheers
@@randomrandomnesss2188 Thank you man, that was nice of you to say!
I dont have any specific preference between 1h and 2h builds tbh Edit "All worth jacking, we're gonna rob this guy blind!" ~Rowan 2024 EDIT 2: "ignore your lust to eat the foot" wtf?! lol
😆
"dude this guy is lonely. I can relate" :( Yeah you had like 300+ views on that one video. famous people get lonely. Its the price you pay! Edit: its good you didn't give him anything for the ring since you had already stolen it rofl
No, no, no... Astarion stole it, the scoundrel!
Is balanced recommended on a first play through?
I personaly think it is At least i got to learn a lot about the world and the machanics without having much trouble with the combat. When i re-started on tactician mode i had enough experience to make it a very very satisfactory play when it comes to combat, i was basically destroying every enemy in my way
@@W_Junior Good advice! I jumped in the deep end of the pool and started on Tactician, but I read and researched game mechanics and watched build videos before I played. If you aren't the researching and "plan ahead" type (it didn't take much of it, tbh), then I would definitely recommend starting on Balanced difficulty first.
The observer gave me WoW vibes tbh. felt like a WoW raid boss. then again maybe WoW took it from D&D
Dude it made me think of WoW too and I don't know why lol. Something something imitation and flattery... hahaha! 😆
lol right after you replied to me i got to the part in this episode where he shows up again :) Also when I'm watching your videos I think back to when we were kids and you were playing OOT while I watched. On of my best memories even if our stomachs hurt from eating all those chips and salsa. like a while jar each... that and we got stuck on water temple for a while. fun times. edit: ok that was a cool resurrection thing lol
Those were the best times bro ♥😎
I love the creepy vibe in this place. "poor Will!" "oh... poor Will" lol Edit: well I mean it ran away but it could have been worse. I fully expected it to team up with the other dude because of some critical failure roll or something lol
Perhaps we shall have another shot at him later... 😉
what difficulty you at bro?
Tactician difficulty. I was tempted to put it at honor mode at the beginning but I don't like the idea of playing blindly on a single save file. Once I beat the game on Tactician I will probably come back and do an honor mode run.
Loving the series so far. Going to binge this :D May I suggest that you increase the voice over volume a bit compared to the game sounds? And this is a personal preferance, but I would also suggest constant quality setting on the recording to avoid pixelation when the screen moves. I belive constant bit rate is the default setting in OBS. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Sure I will look into that! Thanks for the feedback!
Ok yall sub so my bro can retire 🤣 on a side note love the breaking bad reference lol. I was googling to see if meth had any relations to shrooms (like ingredients from it or invention coming from it in some way) to see if the reference was a double layer and then I realized I probably ended up on a watch list for googling the ingredients for meth....
😆We are probably assigned the same agent bro <3
I dont mind if you dont read the books but i bet others prefer you do because people are lazy lol
Honestly I never would have expected Shadow to get the advantage over her. I guess its because she had the trust she wouldn't be attacked in her sleep. For being so capable she's naive lol
Trusting perhaps. I tend to think she is just over-confident in her abilities because of Gith propaganda. She seems to genuinely believe in the inferiority of other species so she under estimates the ability of those around her. I'm willing to bet that part of her journey, at least in this "resist" dark urge playthrough, is going to be discovering that she grew up in an echo chamber. I'm curious if an evil playthrough would turn out differently 🤷♂
spider areas always make me think of lord of the rings and the spider with the light in a bottle thing. That or harry potter in the forest lol edit: wow that fight was close! lol
I was very tempted to re-do it to make it a little less noobey lol
Boots if stormy clamour never come off my cleric
I hold onto most of the magic gear as well for most of the same reasons. Never know if I want to use it on someone or myself with some kind of fun niche build if only for a little bit.
Exactly! I'm too paranoid to throw it away because I don't know what I will get in the future that synergizes with it! Good thing we have a stash.. 😬
Hell yeah dark urge paladin.
Do you think I should add "resist" in the video title somewhere? I didn't think about it, but maybe people are coming in thinking it's gonna be an evil playthrough
"Thats a Steal" "ohhhh those aren't lamps!" 🤣
😅
Poor Gale finally gets an upgrade lol. careful he doesnt eat it 🤣
😂 He might yet lol
Yknow I was just thinking about it and its strange that we haven't gotten any real info on Rowans past. I wonder if it will ever say anything or just keep it mysterious. 2h will likely make it faster so as long as it doesn't hurt survivability so bad that you cant continue I don't see why not.
I think they will reveal it a little at a time. That goblin Scaleritas Fell showed up near the end of one of the earlier episodes and gave me the cloak. I have a feeling we will see him again soon
